The Duke of Death and His Maid
This handsome Duke is living in the lap of luxury. He has a grand mansion and even a beautiful flirty maid, Alice. There’s just one problem: if he touches her, she dies. In fact, anything he touches will die! After falling victim to a witch’s curse, the Duke of Death was sent away to live in near isolation. Now, as his feelings for Alice grow, he’s more determined than ever to break the spell.

[00:50] ---
    Death incarnate, huh?
[01:10] ---
    Mother, Father, how are you faring?
[01:19] ---
    I remain, as always, a lost cause.
[01:21] ---
    This curse, which takes
    the life of anything I touch,
[01:26] ---
    shows no signs of breaking.
[01:28] ---
    My Lady, another animal
    touched the boy and...
[01:31] ---
    Living under the same roof
    as him makes me livid with fear!
[01:34] ---
    Send him to our villa.
[01:37] ---
    That child is like Death incarnate...
[01:41] ---
    Why did the witch put this curse on me?
[02:00] ---
    There is something else that troubles me.
[02:04] ---
    And that is...
[02:05] ---
    Your Grace, your tea is ready.
[02:09] ---
    Don't stand so close to me!

[03:48] ---
    Aren't you going to send that letter?
[03:52] ---
    I couldn't!
[03:54] ---
    I haven't written a letter in so long.
[03:57] ---
    It was for practice.
[04:02] ---
    This is really good!
[04:03] ---
    Thank you.
[04:07] ---
    My maid's name is Alice. I have no
    idea what goes on in her head.
[04:12] ---
    She knows if I touch her,
    she'll die, but...
[04:16] ---
    It's rather chilly today, isn't it?
[04:19] ---
    She says one thing and does the opposite.
[04:21] ---
    Every day she tries to get a rise out
    of me, and then watches how I react.
[04:26] ---
    What's wrong, Your Grace?
[04:31] ---
    What are you doing?
[04:32] ---
    I thought you wanted me to...
[04:36] ---
    I didn't drop my head
    down to see up your skirt!
[04:38] ---
    I keep telling you to lay off
    the sexual harassment!
[04:41] ---
    It makes it hard for me!
[04:43] ---
    I'm sorry.
[04:45] ---
    But I can't stop!
[04:48] ---
    You're awfully sure about that!
[04:50] ---
    You should put your own safety first.
[04:53] ---
    You're the one maid who'll stay with me.
[04:57] ---
    I don't want to lose you.
[05:00] ---
    I don't know what I mean to you, but...
[05:05] ---
    How about another cookie?
[05:07] ---
    Were you listening to me?
[05:09] ---
    Up to the part where you said,
    "I don't know what I mean to you, but..."
[05:13] ---
    Then you heard all of it!
    And you just ignored me!
[05:17] ---
    There's still one left.
    Please clean your plate.
[05:21] ---
    Fine, I will.
[05:35] ---
    Don't make weird noises!
[05:39] ---
    That was an indirect kiss, wasn't it?
[05:42] ---
    You didn't have to say
    that out loud, did you?
[06:01] ---
    I take the life of anything I touch...
[06:04] ---
    A witch put this curse
    on me when I was five.
[06:09] ---
    Who she was, where she
    came from, or why she did it...
[06:14] ---
    ...my memory fails me.
[06:17] ---
    "No one shall love you,
    and you shall love no one."
[06:22] ---
    "You shall live a life of misery."
[06:26] ---
    All I remember are the witch's words.
[06:29] ---
    Turning her back on me, my mother
    gave me this mansion in the forest,
[06:35] ---
    and I haven't seen my family since.
[06:38] ---
    If only I could break the curse,
    I could go home.
[06:41] ---
    To the home where I belong...
[07:03] ---
    What are you doing, Your Grace?
[07:07] ---
    Alice! N-Not this again!
[07:11] ---
    I told you to lay off
    the sexual harassment!
[07:14] ---
    You always react so innocently. It makes
    me want to tease you all the more!
[07:22] ---
    Alice is the only daughter of the head
    maid at my family's residence.
[07:26] ---
    I've known her since she was a child.
[07:29] ---
    I hadn't seen her for a while,
    until about two years ago,
[07:33] ---
    when for reasons I don't
    understand, she came here...
[07:36] ---
    Your Grace.
[07:42] ---
    Cheer up.
[07:44] ---
    That won't make me feel better!
[07:51] ---
    You stopped, then started again!
[07:53] ---
    Alice, cut it out!
[07:55] ---
    I may not look like it,
    but I'm a man, you know!
[07:57] ---
    What if I give into temptation
    and touch you?
[08:02] ---
    Do you want to touch me?
[08:10] ---
    Stop toying with me...
[08:26] ---
    Good morning, Your Grace.
[08:28] ---
    Why do you have to get so close?
[08:31] ---
    What if you touched me accidentally?
[08:38] ---
    This is awful...
[08:40] ---
    She saw the weird faces
    I make in my sleep.
[08:44] ---
    I brought you your breakfast.
[08:46] ---
    I'm not hungry. And there's way too much.
[08:49] ---
    That's what you said when
    you skipped dinner last night.
[08:52] ---
    Your mother used to insist that you eat
    three square meals a day, didn't she?
[08:57] ---
    It's not fair of you to
    bring up my mother.
[08:59] ---
    I'm worried about you.
[09:02] ---
    What if you should fall ill...
[09:04] ---
    ...and never be able to spend your
    nights fooling around with me again...
[09:08] ---
    Spend my nights doing what with you?!
[09:11] ---
    It's true, I do feel bad that I never
    finish the food you make me.
[09:18] ---
    I can eat a little, I guess.
[09:19] ---
    Okay, say aah.
[09:22] ---
    You really want to feed me, huh?
[09:31] ---
    She's staring at the inside of my mouth!
[09:35] ---
    I'm sorry,
[09:36] ---
    I don't get many chances to see
    inside your mouth. I couldn't help it.
[09:40] ---
    Well, don't!
[09:42] ---
    As an apology, would you care
    to have a look inside my mouth?
[09:48] ---
    Y-You don't have to show it to me!
[09:50] ---
    I'll eat on my own.
    Hand me the fork.
[09:53] ---
    Here you are.
[10:00] ---
    Your Grace, why are you
    so uninterested in eating?
[10:05] ---
    Why?
[10:07] ---
    Because ever since I was cursed,
    mealtimes were the worst part of the day.
[10:15] ---
    It's been slow, but ever since you
    came here, I've started to eat more.
[10:19] ---
    I'm grateful, even if I don't look it.
[10:26] ---
    I'll clear away these dishes.
[10:35] ---
    Oh, I almost forgot.
[10:36] ---
    Your Grace, your childhood friend
    Philip says he'd like to see you,
[10:40] ---
    as it's been too long.
[10:56] ---
    Mother, it seems that Philip
    was here just now.
[11:00] ---
    That's none of your concern, dear.
[11:27] ---
    I told him I'd see him, but now that
    the day is here, I'm getting cold feet.
[11:33] ---
    Is it too late to refuse?
[11:36] ---
    Send him a letter saying
    I can't meet today.
[11:39] ---
    It's too late for that. Just accept it.
[11:43] ---
    Do you remember Philip?
[11:46] ---
    Indeed. He was a lively young boy,
    very unusual for a noble's son.
[11:51] ---
    He used to chase you around
    with a snake in his hand...
[11:53] ---
    ...or throw bugs at you.
[11:55] ---
    Yeah, he was a bit of a troublemaker.
[11:57] ---
    But...
[11:59] ---
    ...you're looking forward
    to meeting him, aren't you?
[12:04] ---
    H-H-Hello there!
[12:07] ---
    Don't peek inside my room!
[12:09] ---
    Anyway, it's been so long
    since we've had guests.
[12:14] ---
    I'll change into my formal attire.
[12:15] ---
    Very well. I'll take your
    tuxedo out of storage.
[12:18] ---
    Now, about that hat...
[12:20] ---
    I'm absolutely,
    positively not taking it off!
[12:21] ---
    My naturally curly hair and these circles
    under my eyes make me look so uncool.
[12:26] ---
    I need to hide them with a hat, at least.
[12:29] ---
    I don't think so at all.
[12:33] ---
    You have hair that people love to curl
    around their fingers, mysterious eyes,
[12:40] ---
    and such kissable lips...
[12:47] ---
    I'll get your tuxedo ready.
[12:53] ---
    Will this do?
[12:56] ---
    Thank you, Alice.
[12:58] ---
    You can leave while I change.
[13:00] ---
    No, I'll help.
[13:03] ---
    I can change on my own!
[13:05] ---
    I can't take my clothes off
    in front of a girl!
[13:08] ---
    Would you feel less self-conscious
    if we both took our clothes off?
[13:11] ---
    What on earth are you thinking?!
[13:13] ---
    If you don't start taking your
    clothes off, I'll take mine off first.
[13:17] ---
    What kind of threat is that?!
[13:24] ---
    To be honest, I'm a little
    hopeful about today.
[13:30] ---
    I gathered as much.
[13:32] ---
    Make sure you don't touch me directly.
[13:34] ---
    Of course.
[13:37] ---
    When I was cursed, and my family
    and friends all started to avoid me,
[13:46] ---
    he was the one person
    who looked at me differently.
[13:50] ---
    I've never forgotten that.
[13:54] ---
    Now that the day is here, I feel
    nervous about meeting him, but...
[13:58] ---
    ...if he's willing to give
    me another chance,
[14:00] ---
    perhaps we can be friends again.
[14:03] ---
    I'll put your tie on, then.
[14:05] ---
    Oh, thank you.
[14:09] ---
    Stay still.
[14:11] ---
    You're too close!
[14:12] ---
    Don't yell into my ear, please.
[14:18] ---
    Don't behave like this
    when Philip is around.
[14:22] ---
    I just don't want another man
    to see your bare skin.
[14:27] ---
    Don't worry. I only do it for you.
[14:32] ---
    I-I see.
    Then, I guess that's okay...
[14:36] ---
    It's only fun if I get
    to see your reaction.
[14:39] ---
    Scratch that! It's not okay!
[14:45] ---
    H-Hello there, Philip.
[14:49] ---
    Y-Yeah. Thanks for having me.
[14:52] ---
    How many years has it been?
[14:53] ---
    You're not going to throw
    bugs at me, are you?
[14:56] ---
    Bugs? What are you talking about?
[14:58] ---
    Have you forgotten? You used to
    play all kinds of pranks on me.
[15:03] ---
    You've really mellowed out.
[15:05] ---
    That's so long ago
    I don't remember it, but...
[15:09] ---
    I'm sorry!
[15:11] ---
    N-No, it's not that I wanted
    you to apologize...
[15:15] ---
    My Lord!
[15:18] ---
    Don't worry.
[15:20] ---
    They're just... um... making a cool pose!
[15:41] ---
    The fact that I'd gotten my hopes
    up only makes it feel worse.
[15:53] ---
    So, what do you want, Philip?
[15:56] ---
    No, um... It's nothing special.
[16:00] ---
    I just wanted to see an old friend...
[16:03] ---
    Say, aren't you the daughter
    of the family's head maid?
[16:07] ---
    Yes. You remembered me?
[16:10] ---
    Yes, I remember you well.
[16:12] ---
    Why are you working here as a maid?
[16:14] ---
    Is it just the two of you living here?
[16:16] ---
    Normally I have a butler as well.
[16:18] ---
    He hurt his back and is resting.
[16:21] ---
    But he'll be back soon.
[16:23] ---
    I-I see.
[16:38] ---
    Your Grace!
[16:40] ---
    I'm fine.
[16:41] ---
    What about you?
[16:44] ---
    W-We're fine!
[16:54] ---
    Are you leaving so soon?
[16:57] ---
    Yeah. We've talked enough.
[17:01] ---
    I'm sorry, where is the lavatory?
[17:03] ---
    I'll show you the way.
[17:23] ---
    Yes?
[17:25] ---
    Just hear me out.
[17:27] ---
    Why don't you come back to town with us?
[17:31] ---
    It's dangerous for you to stay with him.
[17:34] ---
    I'll find you another job, if you like.
[17:37] ---
    You must leave this place at once.
[17:39] ---
    No.
[17:40] ---
    Why not?
[17:41] ---
    Has he threatened you? Or...
[17:44] ---
    Philip!
[17:47] ---
    Don't say anything that
    would cause her trouble!
[17:50] ---
    You can disrespect me all
    you want, but not Alice!
[17:55] ---
    Your Grace, please calm down.
[17:59] ---
    S-Stay away!
[18:02] ---
    Don't come near me, you monster!
[18:13] ---
    I-I didn't even want to come here...
[18:19] ---
    Then why did you?
[18:21] ---
    Your mother wanted me
    to see how you were doing.
[18:27] ---
    There's talk of having your younger
    brother inherit the family title.
[18:33] ---
    Knowing your family, if that happens,
    they'll cut off ties with you entirely.
[18:40] ---
    My Lord?
[18:41] ---
    I'm okay. I'll be right there.
[18:47] ---
    I may be scared of you,
[18:50] ---
    but I pity you, too.
[18:54] ---
    Telling you the truth is
    my way of making amends.
[18:58] ---
    I'm sorry about all this.
[19:01] ---
    I'll never come back here again.
[19:16] ---
    Farewell.
[19:21] ---
    Your Grace...
[19:26] ---
    I'm totally fine!
[19:28] ---
    Let's just forget about it
    and have dinner.
[19:30] ---
    Let me know when it's ready.
[19:46] ---
    You're so good at the piano...
[19:48] ---
    Let's play again sometime!
[19:50] ---
    We'll always be buddies!
[19:59] ---
    This curse will be broken...
[20:02] ---
    Or it won't...
[20:03] ---
    My family will accept me again...
[20:06] ---
    Or they won't...
[20:08] ---
    Alice loves me...
[20:12] ---
    She loves me not...
[20:17] ---
    Your Grace?
[20:20] ---
    Dinner is ready.
[20:23] ---
    Are you feeling better now?
[20:26] ---
    Oh, uh-huh...
[20:33] ---
    I'm a lost cause...
[20:36] ---
    Whenever you're away, I always think about
    things that make me feel ill at ease.
[20:41] ---
    My past self. My future self.
[20:44] ---
    And my present self.
[20:46] ---
    I've got no confidence in anything.
    I bet you hate me, too.
[20:52] ---
    I feel like I don't even
    have the right to love you.
[20:58] ---
    I can't touch you...
[21:01] ---
    I'll never know the heat of another's
    body nor the warmth of their tears.
[21:06] ---
    If I wanted to give you a present...
[21:10] ---
    ...even a flower, it would just
    wilt in my hands.
[21:14] ---
    Philip was right. I'll never go back
    to the house I grew up in.
[21:18] ---
    I'll remain a monster that everyone
    has turned their back on--
[21:20] ---
    Your Grace.
[21:22] ---
    Didn't you know?
[21:27] ---
    In the language of flowers,
    a wilted white rose means
[21:30] ---
    "to swear your whole life to someone."
[21:36] ---
    This is more than enough
    of a present for me.
[21:40] ---
    Let's break your curse together.
[21:49] ---
    Someday...
[21:52] ---
    ...I'd like to put a ring on your
    finger with my own hands.
[22:59] ---
    I see... So that's how it is.
[23:02] ---
    Yes. There's no sign of
    the curse being broken,
[23:06] ---
    but he seems to be
    leading a peaceful life.
[23:08] ---
    Thank you.
[23:09] ---
    You may leave.
[23:20] ---
    Thanks for such a wonderful meal.
[23:22] ---
    You ate quite a lot.
[23:25] ---
    Yeah... I guess it's because
    I was feeling kind of tense today.
[23:32] ---
    Alice,
[23:34] ---
    thanks for always making
    such delicious meals.
[23:39] ---
    I'll go on making them.
[23:43] ---
    Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
[23:48] ---
    Just for you, Your Grace. Always.

[00:27] ---
    Can you imagine...
[00:30] ---
    ...a life in which you could never
    touch the one you love?
[00:35] ---
    He takes the life of whatever he touches.
[00:38] ---
    That was the curse the witch put on him.
[00:41] ---
    Plants, animals... and people
    are no exception, of course.
[00:46] ---
    Regarding her son, doomed to live his life
    without knowing the warmth of another,
[00:49] ---
    his mother only complained.
[00:52] ---
    "That child is like Death incarnate..."
[00:54] ---
    she said.
[00:59] ---
    You're getting too close to me
    again today, Alice! Way too close!
[01:02] ---
    Your reactions are so adorable,
    Your Grace,
[01:05] ---
    I can't help wanting to see them up close.
[01:07] ---
    Okay then, take this!
[01:09] ---
    I won't get self-conscious
    if I can't see you!
[01:12] ---
    You truly are adorable, Your Grace.
[01:15] ---
    My ears are totally defenseless!
SIGN    Episode 2:
     The Duke, His Butler,
    and a Lost Cat
[02:48] ---
    Please forgive me for my extended absence.
[02:53] ---
    I have fully recovered
    from my back injury,
[02:56] ---
    so I shall be returning
    to work as of today.
[02:59] ---
    That's wonderful.
    Good to have you back, Rob.
[03:02] ---
    I imagine I caused you
    some trouble as well, Alice.
[03:05] ---
    I left the care of His Grace
    entirely in your hands.
[03:08] ---
    You needn't worry about me.
[03:10] ---
    I was able to spend the night
    together with His Grace, so...
[03:13] ---
    Stop saying things that
    could be misconstrued!
[03:16] ---
    Seeing you two always
    puts a smile on my face.
[03:19] ---
    You need to keep your subordinate
    from sexually harassing me!
[03:25] ---
    And now, I shall take my leave.
[03:31] ---
    It's the morning after Rob got back,
[03:33] ---
    and it looks like he's already
    hard at work around the estate.
[03:36] ---
    Yes, even doing the jobs that
    are too much for me to handle.
[03:40] ---
    He's superhuman. That's why.
[03:44] ---
    Rob's been a butler to me from the
    time I lived at my family's residence.
[03:48] ---
    He was also the only one
    to come with me to this estate.
[03:51] ---
    You could say he was like a father to me.
[03:58] ---
    So, how long do you plan
    on standing there?
[04:02] ---
    Rob has taken all the work
    I would normally do.
[04:06] ---
    Does my presence here bother you?
[04:08] ---
    Well, it's just that I can't
    concentrate on my reading...
[04:13] ---
    I hope I'm not disturbing you.
    I've brought you your tea.
[04:16] ---
    But he was just in the yard a moment ago!
[04:21] ---
    Aren't you working a bit too hard, Rob?
[04:24] ---
    Who, me?
[04:25] ---
    Well, you are sort of on the mend and all.
[04:28] ---
    Why don't you let Alice
    do some of the work, too?
[04:30] ---
    How kind of you to worry.
[04:34] ---
    I may have been a bit too eager to get
    back to work after my absence, but...
[04:38] ---
    ...you needn't worry about me, Your Grace.
[04:42] ---
    Very well. We'll divide the cleaning to be
    done around the estate and get to work.
[04:45] ---
    Let's go, Alice.
[04:47] ---
    All right.
[04:56] ---
    What is with her?
[04:59] ---
    This is really good!
[05:01] ---
    Rob's work hasn't
    suffered any, to be sure.
[05:05] ---
    It may be boorish of me to worry.
[05:08] ---
    Still...
[05:09] ---
    Alice?
[05:11] ---
    There's something I wanted to ask you...
[05:15] ---
    I-It's me! What the heck
    are you doing, Rob?
[05:18] ---
    Oh, it's you, Your Grace.
[05:20] ---
    Forgive me. My eyes have been blurry
    lately, and it makes things hard to see.
[05:24] ---
    That's a sign of aging eyes!
[05:26] ---
    I've told you before, haven't I?
[05:28] ---
    That lately, the effects of your
    old age have gotten a bit worse.
[05:30] ---
    If you touch me, you'll die.
[05:32] ---
    That doesn't mean I want
    you to avoid me, but...
[05:34] ---
    ...you have to look out
    for yourself a bit more.
[05:37] ---
    And you're hard of hearing, too!
[05:39] ---
    What's the matter?
[05:40] ---
    Oh, Alice, it's you.
    Can you talk some sense into him?
[05:44] ---
    Pardon me.
[05:51] ---
    This is the real Alice, right?
[05:54] ---
    It's Alice! She's the only
    other person around here!
[05:57] ---
    I don't get it.
    Your work is flawless, and yet...
[06:02] ---
    When you've been a butler for as long as
    I have, your body remembers the work.
[06:07] ---
    So, you needn't worry about me.
[06:10] ---
    I shall serve you for as long
    as I live, Your Grace.
[06:17] ---
    Rob...
[06:19] ---
    Is it your back again?
[06:21] ---
    So it seems...
[06:39] ---
    All right. This is sounding good.
[06:42] ---
    In case my family decides to disown
    me somewhere down the road,
[06:45] ---
    I've been writing a bunch of songs
    so I can make a living with my music.
[06:50] ---
    For as long as I can remember,
    the only thing I ever got praised for...
[06:53] ---
    ...was my piano playing.
[06:55] ---
    Having still not found any way
    of breaking the witch's curse,
[06:59] ---
    playing the piano is my dream
    as well as my only hope.
[07:03] ---
    Is that a requiem?
[07:06] ---
    Forgive me. While I was cleaning, I heard
    this beautiful song being played, and...
[07:11] ---
    In that case, could you come up and
    speak to me more like a normal person?
[07:14] ---
    What do you mean by "normal"?
[07:16] ---
    I mean, "Don't lean in so close to me"!
[07:18] ---
    Don't bug me, okay?
[07:20] ---
    Rob is resting, so just do your own work.
[07:23] ---
    Very well.
[07:37] ---
    It's not like...
[07:41] ---
    ...I'm giving into...
[07:44] ---
    ...my baser emotions or anything...
[07:51] ---
    Your Grace,
[07:52] ---
    you're staring too hard.
[07:53] ---
    I bet you were doing it on purpose!
[07:56] ---
    Since I can't concentrate,
    save the cleaning for later and...
[07:58] ---
    ...come sit here and listen
    to me play until I'm done.
[08:02] ---
    All right.
[08:03] ---
    Looks like I've got a front-row seat.
[08:05] ---
    I wouldn't go so far as to say that.
[09:15] ---
    It's a somber yet very beautiful song.
[09:19] ---
    You know what?
[09:21] ---
    You told me it sounded
    like a requiem earlier,
[09:25] ---
    but I actually composed it
    as a ballad for you.
[09:29] ---
    I almost didn't ask you because
    I was too embarrassed to,
[09:32] ---
    but after thinking about it some more,
    I really wanted you to hear it with me.
[09:41] ---
    I'm feeling a bit tired,
    so I think I'll take a nap.
[09:44] ---
    Wake me up when dinner's ready.
[09:49] ---
    I see. Very well...
[09:54] ---
    ...I shall kiss you good night.
[10:05] ---
    I was only kidding. If you're going
    to take a nap, please do it in bed.
[10:12] ---
    Well, that sure woke me up!
[10:19] ---
    May I please be excused?
[10:21] ---
    You barely touched your plate.
[10:23] ---
    I'm on a diet. Please give me
    a smaller helping tomorrow.
[10:28] ---
    Hey, I'm starving. Don't we have
    any apple crumble or something?
[10:33] ---
    Didn't you say you were on a diet?
[10:35] ---
    Come on, who cares?
[10:38] ---
    Oh, that's right! I'm going out tomorrow,
    so get the carriage ready.
[10:58] ---
    It's so peaceful...
[10:59] ---
    I'm making really good progress.
[11:01] ---
    Looks like I'll get
    more done than I planned.
[11:05] ---
    Oh, this mansion's as depressing as ever!
[11:08] ---
    For being so run-down,
    it's ridiculously huge!
[11:11] ---
    The stress of just being here
    would make me break out in zits!
[11:14] ---
    Definitely bad for the skin!
[11:15] ---
    I don't know how he manages to live here!
[11:18] ---
    Oh, there you are! I'm so sorry.
[11:20] ---
    You're so unobtrusive I didn't
    even notice you were there!
[11:23] ---
    How long has it been, Dearest Brother?
[11:26] ---
    Alice! Alice, come quick!
[11:30] ---
    What's the matter?
[11:32] ---
    You let her in the house again
    without my permission, didn't you?
[11:35] ---
    What a rude thing to say!
[11:38] ---
    Lady Viola is Your Grace's
    younger sister, so...
[11:41] ---
    That's right.
[11:43] ---
    I have so graciously come to visit you,
    so why don't you act happier?
[11:47] ---
    It seems my dearest brother
    wishes to speak with me,
[11:51] ---
    so wait for me in the garden.
[11:52] ---
    Yes, milady.
[11:53] ---
    Nobody asked for this!
[11:59] ---
    Mmm! This is great!
[12:02] ---
    Tea is best served with
    sweet crumpets, don't you think?
[12:05] ---
    I don't think I could ever get my fill.
[12:08] ---
    When are you planning on leaving today?
[12:10] ---
    Oh, my God! How rude!
[12:12] ---
    You don't have to tell me to go.
    I'm not staying long.
[12:16] ---
    Mother will be angry with me
    if she finds out I'm here.
[12:20] ---
    Hey, can I have some more sweets?
[12:23] ---
    And some Assam tea brewed
    with dried fruits, too!
[12:26] ---
    Very well.
[12:28] ---
    You've really got a lot of nerve!
[12:32] ---
    My sister loves girly things like sweets
    and talking about her love interests.
[12:37] ---
    I suspect she drops by occasionally
    for a little change of pace.
[12:42] ---
    But...
[12:44] ---
    Hey, what are you looking at?
[12:46] ---
    So, not only are you gloomy and unpopular,
    you're also into very young girls?
[12:50] ---
    ...I just can't handle her
    "charming" personality.
[12:53] ---
    I brought you some sticky toffee pudding.
[12:56] ---
    Wow! It looks delectable!
[12:57] ---
    Sorry to put you to all this trouble.
[12:59] ---
    It was no trouble at all.
[13:07] ---
    Say, are you fond of that maid,
    Dearest Brother?
[13:10] ---
    Huh?!
[13:11] ---
    Um... I'm fond of her...
    I mean, I adore her...
[13:16] ---
    That was painful to watch.
[13:18] ---
    Hey, that hurts!
[13:20] ---
    Well, that explains it.
[13:22] ---
    My dearest brother's in love.
[13:24] ---
    Oh, well.
[13:25] ---
    Little Miss Viola here will just have to
    make you popular, starting with that maid.
[13:29] ---
    Using "The Viola Method of
    Instruction in the Art of Love."
[13:32] ---
    The Viola Method?!
[13:33] ---
    For example, everybody's got a
    complex about something, right?
[13:37] ---
    All you've got to do is
    just hide whatever it is.
[13:41] ---
    I have a round face,
    so I hide the contours.
[13:44] ---
    And it melts everyone's heart.
[13:46] ---
    See? Look how adorable I am!
[13:48] ---
    Sounds like you're tooting
    your own horn a bit too much.
[13:50] ---
    In your case, Dearest Brother, you should
    hide those dark circles under your eyes.
[13:55] ---
    Y-You think?
[13:57] ---
    Like this?
[13:57] ---
    Eww! Pull it down some more.
[14:00] ---
    Is this far enough?
[14:01] ---
    I feared as much. You just don't have
    what it takes to be a ladies' man.
[14:03] ---
    Try again in the next life!
[14:04] ---
    You sure do give up easily!
[14:08] ---
    After all this chit-chatting with
    Dearest Brother, it's gotten so late.
[14:12] ---
    Well, I was able to eat some tasty treats,
[14:14] ---
    so I guess it wasn't a total waste
    of time. I'll come again sometime.
[14:17] ---
    Just stop dropping by unannounced, okay?
[14:19] ---
    Or better yet...
[14:20] ---
    Hurry up and break that curse so
    you can come back and live with us.
[14:25] ---
    What are you blushing for?
[14:27] ---
    If you think I said that out of concern
    for you, then you are sorely mistaken.
[14:30] ---
    Who do you think you are, anyway?
[14:32] ---
    You sure talk a lot of trash
    on your way out...
[14:35] ---
    Hey, what's the big idea--
[14:38] ---
    Rob?!
[14:39] ---
    Well, if it isn't Lady Viola!
[14:43] ---
    Oh, um... H-H-How long has it been?
[14:47] ---
    It's been ages.
[14:48] ---
    I see you made a special trip all
    the way out here just to pay us a visit.
[14:52] ---
    I, um... wanted to see you, so...
[14:56] ---
    Oh, you better be careful,
    or your hair will get in your eyes.
[15:00] ---
    Seems the Viola Method
    is totally ineffective...
[15:04] ---
    Who'd have thought she
    was into very old men...
[15:15] ---
    "Hurry up and break that curse," huh?
[15:17] ---
    That's easy for her to say...
[15:28] ---
    Alice! Alice, come quick!
[15:32] ---
    What's the matter, Your Grace?
[15:36] ---
    Why, it's a cat!
[15:38] ---
    It must've wandered
    in here from the forest.
[15:40] ---
    I can't go into the piano room
    as long as it's here.
[15:43] ---
    Hurry up and shoo it out of here!
[15:45] ---
    You truly are adorable, Your Grace,
    to make such a fuss over a single cat.
[15:50] ---
    I-It's not like I'm scared
    of it or anything!
[15:53] ---
    It's just that it's hard to
    tell what animals will do,
[15:55] ---
    so I get worried I might
    accidentally touch them.
[16:00] ---
    Here, kitty!
[16:11] ---
    Did you hear me?
[16:12] ---
    Yes, I heard you.
[16:13] ---
    But I just love animals.
    They're so adorable.
[16:19] ---
    It has a collar.
    Could it be a house cat?
[16:22] ---
    Yeah, you're right. I wonder
    if it ran away from home.
[16:25] ---
    Let's set it loose in
    the forest right away.
[16:29] ---
    Wait a...
[16:31] ---
    Why is it after me?!
[16:34] ---
    Try not to fall, now!
[16:36] ---
    What?! Come save me!
[16:38] ---
    Huh? Your Grace...
[16:39] ---
    You mustn't crawl around
    on your hands and knees!
[16:41] ---
    You think that looks like me?!
[16:43] ---
    What you've got is worse
    than a case of aging eyes!
[16:45] ---
    I picked you up without thinking, but--
    Hey! This feels like a cat!
[16:49] ---
    Oh, how cute!
[16:50] ---
    Don't get all friendly with it!
[16:52] ---
    Run free, kitty cat!
[16:54] ---
    And after you went to
    the trouble of catching it!
[16:58] ---
    Your Grace, the cat tore up
    my clothes with its claws...
[17:01] ---
    Is that something you've
    got to tell me right now?!
[17:03] ---
    But I can sew this up, and it'll be fine.
[17:05] ---
    You don't have to widen
    the rips with your fingers!
[17:14] ---
    So, it was reacting to my bolo tie.
[17:17] ---
    What a pesky cat!
[17:19] ---
    It certainly is a drawback not
    knowing what animals will do.
[17:23] ---
    That includes you, too.
    Stop fiddling with those rips!
[17:27] ---
    What's this?
[17:28] ---
    Your Grace, there's a note.
[17:31] ---
    Could this be the cat's name?
[17:33] ---
    Beats me.
[17:36] ---
    Please forgive me...
[17:39] ---
    What does this mean?
[17:56] ---
    So, you didn't run away.
    You were abandoned. Just like me.
[18:01] ---
    It's hard... being cast aside.
[18:12] ---
    Well, it looks like the cat
    already found a new family.
[18:16] ---
    Your tea is ready.
[18:19] ---
    Please come in soon, Your Grace.
    You wouldn't want to catch a cold.
[18:23] ---
    All right, I'm coming.
[18:42] ---
    ♪  In the gloom of the forest ♪
[18:46] ---
    ♪  I stand where I was abandoned ♪
[18:50] ---
    ♪  No one will hear ♪

[19:06] ---
    ♪  To that warm and loving place
    that I miss so much ♪
[19:15] ---
    So, this is where you've been, Your Grace.
[19:18] ---
    Your dinner is ready.
[19:21] ---
    What have you been doing?
[19:24] ---
    The moon is so beautiful, so I was
    just standing here thinking.
[19:28] ---
    I don't come in here much, but the view
    from this ballroom certainly is lovely.
[19:34] ---
    No one comes in here much
    because there's no reason to.
[19:36] ---
    Rob once told me that a long time ago,
[19:38] ---
    my grandfather couldn't
    dance to save his life,
[19:42] ---
    so he used to come here
    late at night to practice.
[19:45] ---
    And apparently, his dance partner
    at the time was your mother.
[19:53] ---
    Don't you find that interesting?
[19:55] ---
    My grandfather and your mother
    danced in this very room.
[20:00] ---
    I feel like it was fate
    that brought us here.
[20:03] ---
    It certainly could be an act of fate.
[20:10] ---
    S-Shall we give it a try ourselves?
[20:14] ---
    I can't touch you, but we can coordinate
    our movements to approximate dancing.
[20:18] ---
    I must decline.
[20:20] ---
    Oh, I see... I thought it
    would be fun, but...
[20:25] ---
    Unless you ask me properly,
    I must decline.
[20:33] ---
    May I... have this dance?
[20:40] ---
    I'd be delighted.
[20:58] ---
    Aren't you a little too close?
    Be careful not to touch me.
[21:01] ---
    I'm used to it. It's just...
    I haven't danced much at all.
[21:06] ---
    Neither have I.
[21:09] ---
    It's more difficult than I imagined.
[21:14] ---
    But... it's delightful.
[23:12] ---
    Alice, can I ask you something?
[23:15] ---
    Certainly.
[23:16] ---
    What do you think of me?
[23:19] ---
    You're an important person.
[23:21] ---
    No, not in the sense of
    a master and his servant...
[23:24] ---
    I'm asking you what you
    think of me as a man.
[23:29] ---
    Well, of course I like you, Your Grace.
[23:31] ---
    Really?!
[23:32] ---
    Why, yes.
[23:33] ---
    I like you. I love you. I adore you. I
    only have eyes for you, Your Grace.
[23:38] ---
    All right, that's enough!
[23:39] ---
    There aren't enough words
    to express the way I feel.
[23:43] ---
    I never would've thought you'd say that.
[23:46] ---
    I think I'll have my dinner now.
[23:48] ---
    Very well, Your Grace.

[00:27] ---
    Can you imagine...
[00:30] ---
    ...a life in which you could
    never touch the one you love?
[00:35] ---
    He takes the life of whatever he touches.
[00:38] ---
    That was the curse the witch put on him.
[00:41] ---
    Plants, animals... and people
    are no exception, of course.
[00:46] ---
    Regarding her son, doomed to live his life
    without knowing the warmth of another,
[00:49] ---
    his mother only complained.
[00:52] ---
    "That child is like Death incarnate..."
[00:54] ---
    ...she said.
[01:00] ---
    Morning, Alice.
[01:07] ---
    Good morning, Your Grace.
[01:09] ---
    I don't think you need to greet
    me so up close and personal.
[01:12] ---
    In town this distance is the norm.
[01:16] ---
    You're making that up!
SIGN    Episode 3: 
    The Duke and the Meteor Shower 
    During the Full Moon
[03:13] ---
    You're just like a pro!
[03:15] ---
    That was wonderful, Your Grace.
[03:17] ---
    I used to play by myself whenever
    I had some spare time, so...
[03:23] ---
    But are you okay with those terms?
[03:25] ---
    The loser has to do
    whatever the winner says.
[03:29] ---
    Yes, those were the terms
    I suggested, so...
[03:32] ---
    Is this...
[03:34] ---
    ...how you hold the stick?
[03:37] ---
    Well, you don't have to
    lean forward so much...
[03:40] ---
    I thought this might be more
    to your liking, Your Grace.
[03:43] ---
    I'm not fond of any particular pose!
[03:52] ---
    Oh, dear!
[03:54] ---
    Looks like this game is mine...
[03:57] ---
    Alice, I'm sorry, but...
[03:59] ---
    ...I'm going to take the winning shot.
[04:01] ---
    Don't sink it in there.
[04:03] ---
    Don't sink it in there...

    ...in there ...in there ...in there.
[04:09] ---
    Uh, um, Alice, I've got to concentrate, so
    could you keep quiet during the game?
[04:13] ---
    Hmm, that's a foul.
[04:15] ---
    What?!
[04:16] ---
    Alice, you may place the
    ball wherever you wish.
[04:19] ---
    It's a safe shot from here.
[04:25] ---
    Looks like I won.
[04:27] ---
    Will you do whatever I ask,
    like we agreed?
[04:31] ---
    Well, okay... What is it?
[04:34] ---
    What should I do if she asks me
    to do something really indecent?
[04:40] ---
    Would you...
[04:44] ---
    ...take a trip into town with me?
[04:47] ---
    Huh?
[04:48] ---
    Are you disappointed because
    it wasn't what you expected?
[04:52] ---
    I'm not, I'm not!
[04:55] ---
    Why do you want to go
    to town all of a sudden?
[04:57] ---
    This weekend, there's a festival.
    All the townspeople will wear costumes.
[05:02] ---
    If your costume's thick enough,
    Your Grace,
[05:05] ---
    I'm sure anyone you may
    bump into will be all right.
[05:07] ---
    B-But...
[05:08] ---
    ...I'm not used to being in
    places with so many people.
[05:13] ---
    When I passed by last year,
    it didn't appear to be that crowded.
[05:18] ---
    What do you say?
[05:20] ---
    Will you go into town with me?
[05:23] ---
    Don't give me that look! It's not fair!
[05:28] ---
    So, this is...
[05:30] ---
    ...the town?
[05:31] ---
    That's right.
[05:34] ---
    How's your costume working out?
[05:36] ---
    It's not bad.
[05:38] ---
    It's a bit hard to move around in, though.
[05:40] ---
    By the way, that costume
    looks really cute.
[05:43] ---
    I'm not just talking about
    the outfit. You do, too.
[05:46] ---
    Why, thank you.
[05:48] ---
    Only...
[05:50] ---
    ...there are more people
    here than I expected.
[05:52] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[05:54] ---
    Hey, watch-- Yikes! Alice!
[05:57] ---
    It seems I made the right call.
[05:59] ---
    As long as you're encased in steel,
    you have nothing to worry about.
[06:02] ---
    But it's also heavy and
    hard to keep steady...
[06:06] ---
    Is everything all right, Your Grace?
[06:08] ---
    Shall we go home now?
[06:10] ---
    No, you asked me to do this, so I'll
    try to hang in there a little longer.
[06:15] ---
    Thank you for indulging me, Your Grace.
[06:20] ---
    It may have been somewhat rash of me to
    drag you to a place with so many people.
[06:28] ---
    But I've always dreamed of coming into
    town like this on a date with you.
[06:36] ---
    Just like a normal couple.
[06:44] ---
    Your Grace?
[06:46] ---
    I was carried away by the crowd
    and got knocked over to boot.
[06:49] ---
    I wanna go home now.
[06:59] ---
    Where on earth is His Grace?
[07:03] ---
    Are you Sharon? Sharon Lendrott?
[07:08] ---
    Sharon is... my mother's name.
[07:14] ---
    Yes, of course, you're right.
[07:15] ---
    You startled me because you look alike,
    but there's no way you could be her.
[07:19] ---
    So, you must be her daughter...
    Alice, was it?
[07:23] ---
    Who are you?
[07:24] ---
    Nobody important.
[07:26] ---
    Just a slight acquaintance of Sharon's.
[07:30] ---
    Take care, Alice.
[07:36] ---
    I must go look for His Grace.
[07:40] ---
    I've wound up at a square of some sort.
[07:43] ---
    Where am I?
[07:45] ---
    Plus...
[07:47] ---
    ...I've got a lost boy here
    looking to me for help...
[07:47] ---
    Mommy!
[07:51] ---
    ...when I'm lost myself.
[07:51] ---
    Mommy!
[07:55] ---
    Don't cry so hard.
[07:57] ---
    It makes me feel like crying, too.
[08:00] ---
    Hey, there's a piano!
[08:02] ---
    I'll play you something to cheer you up,
    so dry those tears!
[08:08] ---
    I'm so nervous.
[08:11] ---
    To think I'd be playing the piano
    with so many people around...
[08:31] ---
    Huh?
[08:32] ---
    Come over here! Quick!
[08:34] ---
    Hey, this is nice!
[08:43] ---
    They're playing along with me.
[09:07] ---
    Yeah, that's the spirit!
[09:09] ---
    What a wonderful tune!
[09:10] ---
    Here's to the town and good music! Cheers!
[09:39] ---
    Where have you been?
[09:40] ---
    I've been worried sick about you!
[09:44] ---
    Your mommy came for you.
[09:45] ---
    Thank goodness!
[09:47] ---
    Your piano playing was so cool!
[09:49] ---
    Bye bye!
[09:50] ---
    Thanks!
[09:53] ---
    Well now, I'd better find Alice...
[09:57] ---
    I've found you, Your Grace.
[09:59] ---
    Alice?!
[10:00] ---
    Please don't go off on your own.
[10:03] ---
    Come on now, you're too close!
[10:06] ---
    You must be getting tired.
[10:09] ---
    Shall we get going soon?
[10:11] ---
    No, let's stick around a little longer.
[10:13] ---
    We came all this way, so...
[10:15] ---
    ...I'd like to stay here in town
    with you for a bit longer.
[10:18] ---
    Your Grace, is that really you?
[10:22] ---
    May I have a look inside your mouth?
[10:24] ---
    Inside my mouth?! What for?!
[10:57] ---
    Hey, Alice! Take a look at this!
[10:59] ---
    There's a mask that looks just like me!
[11:02] ---
    It certainly does.
[11:04] ---
    Right?
[11:05] ---
    That mask was inspired
    by a Death incarnate...
[11:08] ---
    ...that is said to live in
    the forest north of town.
[11:11] ---
    Though I wouldn't know whether
    such a creature actually exists.
[11:15] ---
    Shall we be on our way now, Your Grace?
[11:20] ---
    I had my suspicions all along, but...
[11:22] ---
    ...it seems there really have been strange
    rumors going around about me.
[11:26] ---
    I'm just a guy with a little
    curse on him, that's all.
[11:32] ---
    What is this? It's really good!
[11:34] ---
    It's called ice cream.
[11:36] ---
    You have some too, Alice. Here.
[11:39] ---
    All right, then.
[11:41] ---
    Why must you do it all sexy like?
[11:45] ---
    Wait. We'll lose each other again.
[11:48] ---
    Your Grace, why don't we
    climb the clock tower?
[11:52] ---
    There doesn't appear to be
    anyone up there now.
[11:54] ---
    Really?
[11:59] ---
    Wow!
[12:01] ---
    It looks like the town's
    been blanketed with stars.
[12:04] ---
    Yes, indeed.
[12:06] ---
    Alice, look! There's the moon!
[12:08] ---
    You mustn't get so excited.
    It's dangerous.
[12:11] ---
    Oh, okay.
[12:18] ---
    Are you familiar with the town fairy tale
    about the princess who marries the moon?
[12:24] ---
    You mean, what we saw earlier?
[12:26] ---
    Yes.
[12:29] ---
    Once upon a time there lived in this land
    a brave prince and a beautiful princess.
[12:35] ---
    The two were deeply in love
    and engaged to be married.
[12:40] ---
    But a jealous witch took the prince
    and carried him off to the moon.
SIGN    Help me!
[12:45] ---
    I guess even in fairy tales,
    all witches do is interfere.
[12:49] ---
    Every year since, on the
    night she was to be wed,
[12:55] ---
    the princess looks toward
    the moon and offers up a kiss.
[13:00] ---
    And that's how the story goes.
[13:02] ---
    It's a rather sad tale, don't you think?
[13:05] ---
    I'm sure the prince is also sending
    her a kiss from the moon.
[13:08] ---
    The farthest kiss in the universe.
[13:10] ---
    It'd be wonderful if that were the case.
[13:13] ---
    But somehow, I think that
    the story describes...
[13:17] ---
    ...the exact opposite of
    our situation, don't you?
[13:21] ---
    Why is that?
[13:22] ---
    Because even though I'm standing
    so close to you, I feel like...
[13:25] ---
    ...you're the farthest thing away from me.
[13:27] ---
    I love you so much I can't stand it.
[13:30] ---
    Yet here we are on a date, and I can't
    even put my arm around your shoulder.
[13:34] ---
    A date?
[13:36] ---
    Did you hear me say that earlier?
[13:39] ---
    "I've always dreamed of coming into
    town like this on a date with you."
[13:45] ---
    Yeah, since you said that,
[13:48] ---
    I hoped I could make this into one,
    if only for a little while.
[13:51] ---
    But I couldn't do a thing.
[13:53] ---
    I'm so sorry I couldn't show
    you such a good time.
[13:57] ---
    I had a wonderful time.
[13:59] ---
    It makes me happy just to be
    by your side, Your Grace.
[14:04] ---
    S-So, is that how you feel?
[14:06] ---
    That's how I feel.
[14:08] ---
    I hope you'll continue to keep me near.
[14:11] ---
    Even if we can never touch, Your Grace,
[14:14] ---
    I'd like to get as close to you as I can
    and gaze deep into your eyes.
[14:22] ---
    I just remembered,
[14:24] ---
    there's a festival going on in town today.
[14:28] ---
    Apparently, they're going to reenact the
    princess and the moon's wedding.
[14:32] ---
    It could be pretty exciting.
[14:34] ---
    I couldn't care less.
[14:49] ---
    "If you cannot sleep, my master,
    you are welcome in my room. -Alice"?
[14:55] ---
    I wonder what she wants.
[14:59] ---
    That's her room, if I'm not mistaken.
[15:02] ---
    It's me. I saw your note, so I came here.
[15:05] ---
    Please, come in.
[15:07] ---
    Welcome to my room, Your Grace.
[15:10] ---
    Why the heck are you naked?!
[15:12] ---
    When I'm in my room, I make it
    a rule not to wear any clothes.
[15:14] ---
    Well, I don't care! Put something on! Now!
[15:24] ---
    Thank you for waiting. Please, do come in.
[15:26] ---
    That outfit looks nice.
    Hope I'm not disturbing you.
[15:31] ---
    What a pleasant fragrance!
[15:34] ---
    I lit a scented candle.
[15:37] ---
    Tonight, I thought I would ease
    your tension, Your Grace.
[15:42] ---
    Ease my... Sounds kind of kinky!
[15:43] ---
    I'll make you some tea.
[15:46] ---
    Whoa! Calm down, now!
[15:48] ---
    Her morals have always been questionable.
[15:52] ---
    You're just overly aware of it because
    you saw her naked a moment ago.
[15:56] ---
    Anyway, just cool your jets.
[15:59] ---
    What's this? Some strings? No...
[16:02] ---
    A G-string?! What's it doing there?
[16:05] ---
    I made you some chamomile tea.
[16:07] ---
    Please drink it while it's hot.
[16:09] ---
    Th-Thanks.
[16:16] ---
    Surely, she must be
    wearing some underwear.
[16:19] ---
    But knowing her...
[16:20] ---
    When you're done with that,
    let's head over to the bed.
[16:27] ---
    Is she planning on doing something to me?
[16:32] ---
    All right, now take your
    clothes off, please.
[16:37] ---
    Wh-What's she going to do?
[16:40] ---
    We can't touch each other or anything.
[16:42] ---
    You have nothing to fear.
[16:44] ---
    Just surrender yourself to me.
[16:47] ---
    She means business.
[16:52] ---
    Lie down, please.
[16:54] ---
    Uh... all right.
[16:57] ---
    What's she going to do to me?
[17:00] ---
    Now close your eyes.
[17:02] ---
    Let your mind and body relax.
[17:06] ---
    All right, sweet dreams!
[17:08] ---
    Huh?! You mean, go to sleep?!
[17:10] ---
    Didn't you come here because
    you were having trouble sleeping?
[17:14] ---
    With the scented candle and chamomile tea,
[17:17] ---
    I thought I could relax you somewhat
    to help you fall asleep.
[17:23] ---
    Please forgive me if I gave you
    the wrong impression.
[17:28] ---
    She did this on purpose.
[17:29] ---
    Don't worry, Your Grace.
[17:32] ---
    I shall remain by your side
    until you fall asleep.
[17:42] ---
    Say, Alice...
[17:44] ---
    Yes, Your Grace?
[17:45] ---
    On the night after next, would you
    mind going out with me for a bit?
[17:50] ---
    There's something...
[17:52] ---
    ...I've got to show you.
[17:55] ---
    Something you've got to show me?
[17:59] ---
    Yes, if you insist.
[18:27] ---
    So, this thing you wanted to show me...
[18:29] ---
    ...is a huge meteor shower
    that happens once a decade?
[18:33] ---
    Uh-huh. Ten years ago, I happened to see
    it one night when I came out to this lake.
[18:39] ---
    What I saw that night,
[18:42] ---
    I will always treasure.
[18:45] ---
    So, I wanted you to come along
    with me and see it again.
[18:49] ---
    So, I get to have that wonderful
    view and you all to myself, then.
[18:56] ---
    We came here to see the
    shooting stars, of course.
[18:59] ---
    But tonight, I want to tell you how
    I really feel, sincerely for once...
[19:03] ---
    ...and not offhanded like I always do.
[19:05] ---
    And I'm determined to do it.
[19:09] ---
    The meteor shower should
    begin any time now.
[19:12] ---
    Alice, look up at the sky.
[19:14] ---
    All right.
[19:17] ---
    I told you to look up at the sky.
[19:19] ---
    It's more fun to look at you, Your Grace.
[19:22] ---
    Well, that's not why we're here.
[19:27] ---
    Your hat!
[19:32] ---
    Alice!
[19:37] ---
    Forgive me. It got a little wet.
[19:40] ---
    It's okay, I don't mind.
    Thanks for going out of your way.
[19:43] ---
    Now climb back on board.
[19:46] ---
    S-Sorry. I can't offer you my hand.
[19:50] ---
    If it weren't for this darn curse,
[19:53] ---
    I wouldn't cause you and Rob
    so much trouble.
[19:57] ---
    I'm sorry for being this way.
[20:01] ---
    If you can't touch me,
[20:03] ---
    then give me a kiss.
[20:06] ---
    If you have any feelings for me,
    then kiss me now.
[20:11] ---
    But you'll die.
[20:14] ---
    Just think how romantic it would be
    to die by your kiss, Your Grace.
[20:18] ---
    It's something the prince and
    princess were never able to do.
[20:27] ---
    D-Do you really want me to do it?
[20:30] ---
    I want to kiss you, too, you know.
[20:32] ---
    If you keep saying stuff like that,
    I'll do it for real.
[20:37] ---
    I really want you to, Your Grace.
[20:55] ---
    I'm sorry, I just can't
    go through with it.
[20:58] ---
    You said what I...
[21:01] ---
    ...thought you'd say.
[21:01] ---
    Wha--?!
[21:07] ---
    Hey, you did that on purpose!
[21:09] ---
    Forgive me, Your Grace.
[21:11] ---
    You don't get enough exercise,
    so I thought I'd force you to swim.
[21:17] ---
    Then just ask me to like a normal person!
[21:20] ---
    It looks like the meteor shower is over.
[21:23] ---
    Shall we head back?
[21:24] ---
    Aw, man!
[21:27] ---
    What a kick in the teeth!
[21:30] ---
    I had a once-in-a-decade chance,
    and now it's gone.
[21:33] ---
    I couldn't even say what
    I wanted to say to you.
[21:36] ---
    What did you want to say to me?
[21:37] ---
    I was going to tell you how
    I really feel about you.
[21:40] ---
    That I like you and all.
[21:42] ---
    Er... I went and said it
    in an offhanded way again.
[21:45] ---
    It doesn't ring true at all.
[21:47] ---
    Oh, this is the pits!
[21:49] ---
    Let's go home now, Alice!
[21:56] ---
    Yes, Your Grace.
[23:31] ---
    Your Grace?
[23:34] ---
    Let's go back to that spot in another
    ten years to watch the meteor shower.
[23:39] ---
    O-Okay.
[23:41] ---
    Does that mean she'll still be
    with me ten years from now?

[00:27] ---
    Can you imagine...
[00:30] ---
    ...a life in which you could
    never touch the one you love?
[00:35] ---
    He takes the life of whatever he touches.
[00:38] ---
    That was the curse the witch put on him.
[00:41] ---
    Plants, animals... and people
    are no exception, of course.
[00:45] ---
    Regarding her son, doomed to live his life
    without knowing the warmth of another,
[00:49] ---
    his mother only complained.
[00:52] ---
    "That child is like Death incarnate..."
[00:54] ---
    ...she said.
[00:55] ---
    I'm sorry, I just can't
    go through with it.
[01:02] ---
    Perhaps I turned her down too harshly.
[01:06] ---
    I hope I didn't hurt her feelings.
[01:11] ---
    Oh, come in!
[01:13] ---
    Pardon the intrusion, Your Grace.
[01:15] ---
    Some new books have arrived,
    so we came to add them to your collection.
[01:19] ---
    Thanks. Okay then, could you
    arrange them by genre?
[01:24] ---
    Very well, Your Grace.
[01:31] ---
    She looked away.
[01:32] ---
    But wait, last night... things seemed
    to be going pretty well...
[01:37] ---
    Let's go back to that spot in another
    ten years to watch the meteor shower.
[01:43] ---
    No, I must be overthinking this.
[01:46] ---
    What if she thinks I'm
    avoiding her instead?
[01:50] ---
    Uh, Alice, something's
    different about you today.
[01:54] ---
    Did you cut your hair?
    Or change your makeup...?
[01:57] ---
    I can't reach the upper shelves...
[01:59] ---
    I'll take care of it.
[02:01] ---
    Thank you so much.
[02:03] ---
    S-Say, Alice...
[02:06] ---
    Uh...
[02:08] ---
    Hey... Don't you think...
[02:11] ---
    ...the space between us...
    is a bit unusual...?
[02:14] ---
    I know... I can't touch you, but...
[02:17] ---
    Alice, would you stop avoiding me?
[02:20] ---
    I'm not avoiding you.
[02:22] ---
    You are, too!
    Normally, you're more like:
[02:24] ---
    "Why don't you check me out
    instead of these books?"
[02:26] ---
    That's your style, is it not?
[02:28] ---
    What are you talking about?
[02:30] ---
    You've got a lot of guts
    to play dumb like that!
[02:33] ---
    I won't have you saying things
    about me that aren't true.
[02:36] ---
    So, am I right in thinking that...
[02:39] ---
    ...you're upset about what happened
    at the lake last night?
[02:42] ---
    Come on, I'm totally
    defenseless right now.
[02:45] ---
    Normally, you'd be able to sexually harass
    me three times in the space of 15 seconds.
[02:49] ---
    Come on, now!
[02:50] ---
    I have no idea what you're talking about.
[02:53] ---
    Now please, let me get back to my work.
[02:55] ---
    No, that's not what
    you'd say! You'd say:
[02:58] ---
    "You're an insatiable one, aren't you?"
[03:00] ---
    Am I right?
[03:01] ---
    What the heck is wrong with you, Alice?!
[03:04] ---
    What on earth is wrong
    with you, Your Grace?
[03:09] ---
    I knew it. There's something different
    than usual about Alice, don't you think?
[03:12] ---
    She appears to me to be
    nothing other than her usual self.
[03:16] ---
    If Alice doesn't start sexually harassing
    me like she normally does, I'll...
[03:21] ---
    I believe I've gotten a brief insight
    into your tastes, Your Grace.
[03:24] ---
    No, I simply can't believe that
    Alice would reject me so easily.
[03:29] ---
    There must be some kind
    of explanation for it.
[03:37] ---
    A-Alice?
[03:40] ---
    Rob?
[03:41] ---
    Could you touch Alice... for me?
[03:45] ---
    Your Grace, what a thoroughly
    unwholesome thing to suggest!
[03:49] ---
    No, her forehead, her forehead!
[03:54] ---
    To think you'd caught a cold...
[03:56] ---
    Forgive me.
[03:57] ---
    I knew I was sick, but I didn't think
    it would interfere with my work.
[04:01] ---
    You didn't look sick at all,
    so it came as a complete surprise.
[04:04] ---
    You fell into the lake last night,
    so I guess it stands to reason that...
[04:07] ---
    No, it was probably the
    result of later that night...
[04:10] ---
    ...when I went to your window
    to peer at you as you slept...
[04:14] ---
    ...and caught a chill in the night air.
[04:16] ---
    Would you stop peeking
    into people's bedrooms?
[04:19] ---
    Well, in any case, you must return
    to your room, Your Grace.
[04:22] ---
    You'll catch my cold.
[04:24] ---
    No, I'll stay by your side.
[04:26] ---
    My curse makes it impossible for me
    to nurse you to back to health,
[04:28] ---
    so the best I can do
    is just stay by your side.
[04:31] ---
    I thought I could give you some moral
    support while you're feeling weak.
[04:36] ---
    Is that okay?
[04:38] ---
    All right, you should get to
    sleep soon. You look flushed.
[04:41] ---
    I bet your fever's gotten worse.
[04:48] ---
    It's got nothing to do with my cold...
SIGN    Episode 4: The Duke, Alice,
    and Memories of Snow
[06:27] ---
    It's so chilly... It's going to get
    really cold tonight.
[06:31] ---
    Rob said we'll get some snow soon.
[06:35] ---
    That explains it.
[06:36] ---
    Here, let me warm your hands, Your Grace.
[06:39] ---
    Sticking them there isn't
    going to warm them up!
[06:41] ---
    And I can't touch you in the first place!
[06:43] ---
    Still, I hate it when it's cold out.
[06:45] ---
    It makes me feel even less
    like going outside.
[06:47] ---
    And that's exactly why you must brave
    the cold and learn to tolerate it.
[06:51] ---
    So, how about we play
    in the snow tomorrow?
[06:53] ---
    You can count me out.
[06:54] ---
    I'm sorry, but I'm going to stay in--
[06:59] ---
    It looks great on you.
[07:00] ---
    I've never seen this scarf before.
    Did you knit it?
[07:04] ---
    Yes, I made it for you, Your Grace.
[07:08] ---
    It smells really nice.
[07:10] ---
    So, why don't you put that on tomorrow,
    and we'll go outside and have fun?
[07:14] ---
    Yeah, all right.
[07:15] ---
    Promise?
[07:17] ---
    Promise.
[07:47] ---
    Wow!
[07:49] ---
    Everything's covered in snow!
[07:51] ---
    Indeed, it is.
[07:53] ---
    Who wouldn't get a little
    excited seeing this? Whoops!
[07:58] ---
    Plus... Alice is just the cutest
    surrounded by all this snow.
[08:02] ---
    It makes me feel so good.
[08:05] ---
    Take that! Cold, huh?
[08:08] ---
    You got me all wet...
[08:13] ---
    Oh, dear.
[08:15] ---
    What are you doing, Your Grace?
[08:17] ---
    Oh, Rob, it's you.
[08:18] ---
    Sorry. We shouldn't be goofing around
    so much just because it snowed.
[08:22] ---
    Please let me join you.
[08:24] ---
    That's why you're here?
[08:27] ---
    I thought it'd be dangerous
    for the two of you alone.
[08:29] ---
    So, you want to build a snowman, huh?
[08:31] ---
    Anyhow, you mustn't let
    yourself have too much fun.
[08:35] ---
    Says the guy who's having the most fun...
[08:38] ---
    Okay then, why don't we give him a hand?
    Let's roll some snowballs.
[08:42] ---
    Yes, Your Grace.
[08:52] ---
    Okay, are you ready?
[08:54] ---
    Roll it in time with me.
[08:56] ---
    One, two. One, two.
[09:00] ---
    Your Grace, you're going too fast.
    Could you go a little slower?
[09:04] ---
    She says in a strangely seductive way...
[09:06] ---
    I guess we have no other choice.
[09:08] ---
    This is rather dull work, so why don't
    you take a break, Your Grace?
[09:12] ---
    What a bummer!
[09:14] ---
    Well, if I can't join them, then...
[09:20] ---
    What the--?! That was
    straight out of The Matrix!
[09:22] ---
    You may have tried to catch me off guard,
    but that's not going to happen.
[09:25] ---
    Prepare to be fired upon.
[09:28] ---
    Hey! That's an awful lot of return fire!
[09:29] ---
    And what... superb... control you have!
[09:35] ---
    Two can play at that game!
[09:46] ---
    His Grace really has begun
    to smile more often...
[09:53] ---
    All right, Rob, you lose!
[10:00] ---
    Let's get out of here!
[10:16] ---
    Oh man, that was so much fun!
[10:19] ---
    Even my panties are soaking wet.
[10:23] ---
    I'll do the laundry.
[10:24] ---
    Please take off your clothes
    and get in the tub right away.
[10:27] ---
    Nuh-uh!
[10:27] ---
    I beg your pardon?
[10:28] ---
    I'm not taking off this scarf.
    You made it especially for me.
[10:33] ---
    It's just until it dries.
[10:35] ---
    But I don't wanna!
[10:43] ---
    Oh, no!
[10:45] ---
    My mother's earring...
[11:30] ---
    I've got to find it.
[11:58] ---
    Darn it all! The snow's getting worse.
[12:03] ---
    What a huge mansion!
    Could it be an aristocrat's villa?
[12:07] ---
    I'll get them to share some food with me.
[12:10] ---
    Or maybe...
[12:13] ---
    ...I'll just take it by force.
[12:20] ---
    Hey...
[12:21] ---
    Hey, you! Are you all right?
[12:24] ---
    Ugh... Was I... asleep?
[12:27] ---
    Huh?! Wh-Who are you?
[12:30] ---
    So you've come to. Need a hand?
[12:33] ---
    I've been cursed by a witch.
    I take the life of whatever I touch.
[12:39] ---
    Don't worry, I can get up on my own.
[12:42] ---
    Do you live in this mansion?
[12:45] ---
    What were you doing out in this blizzard?
[12:47] ---
    I was looking for something.
[12:49] ---
    My maid lost one of her precious
    earrings out here today.
[12:53] ---
    You'd go through all this for a maid?
[12:55] ---
    Yeah, I would.
[12:56] ---
    Alice is a very special person to me,
    so I've got to find it.
[13:01] ---
    Impressive.
[13:02] ---
    You're a girl, aren't you?
[13:04] ---
    What were you doing out in the
    woods in this snowy weather?
[13:07] ---
    I got separated from my childhood friend,
[13:09] ---
    got lost, and wound up
    here at this mansion.
[13:12] ---
    I'm starving, so I was just about ready
    to shake you guys down for some food.
[13:17] ---
    It's scary how casually
    you just said that!
[13:20] ---
    The shovel's stuck...
[13:26] ---
    My hands are starting to go numb.
    This may be all I can take...
[13:30] ---
    Why don't you call it quits?
[13:32] ---
    You'll find it next spring
    when the snow melts.
[13:35] ---
    No, it'll be all rusty by then.
[13:38] ---
    Besides, I want to see how
    delighted she'll look when I...
[13:47] ---
    This guy's got a lot of promise.
[13:50] ---
    I guess I should do something for him.
[14:01] ---
    So nice and warm...
[14:03] ---
    I mean, darn that's hot!
[14:05] ---
    Are you awake now?
[14:07] ---
    Wh-Where's the snow?
[14:09] ---
    I found what you were looking for.
[14:12] ---
    Are you satisfied?
[14:13] ---
    I was going to go without
    introducing myself,
[14:15] ---
    but then I thought it wouldn't be polite.
[14:19] ---
    The name's Cuff.
[14:21] ---
    I'm a witch.
[14:24] ---
    Would you happen to know
    where His Grace went?
[14:36] ---
    Oh... so you can't break
    the curse on me.
[14:40] ---
    No, it's beyond my power.
[14:42] ---
    Anyway, are you sure
    it's okay to let me in?
[14:45] ---
    I am a witch, you know.
[14:46] ---
    I'd like to thank you, and besides,
    there's so much I want to ask you.
[14:50] ---
    Also, you should meet my maid
    and butler before you go.
[14:55] ---
    Who's that?
[14:56] ---
    Oh, let me introduce her to you.
[14:58] ---
    This is my maid...
[14:59] ---
    Alice Lendrott.
[15:01] ---
    This is Cuff.
[15:03] ---
    She came to my rescue when I got covered
    in snow and nearly died out there.
[15:07] ---
    Your Grace, I can't believe you went
    outside in spite of the danger
[15:10] ---
    after I told you so many times not to.
[15:11] ---
    I'm really sorry!
    But we found your earring. See?
[15:16] ---
    It makes me happier to see you're
    all right, Your Grace. I mean it.
[15:21] ---
    Alice, I'm sorry I made you worry.
[15:23] ---
    Not at all. Thank you
    for finding my earring.
[15:27] ---
    I want to take a shower.
    Show me how to use it.
[15:30] ---
    Huh?! That came out of nowhere!
[15:31] ---
    Please wait in the library, Your Grace.
    I'll be there shortly.
[15:39] ---
    What's taking her so long?
[15:43] ---
    Maybe it wasn't so safe to leave
    her alone with the witch.
[15:48] ---
    Or maybe...
[15:50] ---
    ...the two of them are taking
    a shower together?
[15:52] ---
    Let me wash your back.
[15:54] ---
    Ooh, I'm so jealous!
[15:59] ---
    ♪ In a paradise full of bubbles ♪
[16:04] ---
    ♪ Your weariness and the grime on your
    back both get washed away ♪
[16:10] ---
    ♪ Just think how great it'd be ♪
[16:15] ---
    ♪ To be able to touch ♪

[16:25] ---

[16:28] ---
    Sorry to have kept you
    waiting, Your Grace.
[16:31] ---
    N-No problem!
[16:34] ---
    That nice, hot shower really hit the spot.
[16:36] ---
    And Alice here is going
    to mend my tattered robe.
[16:41] ---
    Is that so?
[16:46] ---
    You really saved my hide.
[16:48] ---
    After my friend and I got
    separated in the woods,
[16:50] ---
    I hadn't eaten anything
    for two whole days.
[16:54] ---
    Is this friend of yours a witch? A woman?
[16:57] ---
    No, he's a guy. Sometimes
    men are called witches,
[17:01] ---
    but that can get confusing,
    so let's just say he's a magic user.
[17:04] ---
    Look, I feel for you and all,
[17:06] ---
    but I can't tell you
    anything about our kind.
[17:09] ---
    You won't get a word out of me
    even if you torture me.
[17:12] ---
    Well, I wasn't planning on
    doing anything like that...
[17:16] ---
    Now now, don't be like that, Cuff.
[17:19] ---
    Would you care for some dessert?
[17:27] ---
    So, what do you want
    to know about witches?
[17:30] ---
    Well, uh... I thought you might know
    something about the witch who cursed me.
[17:36] ---
    Is it really okay to talk about it?
[17:38] ---
    Since I ate all this food,
    I guess I don't have much of a choice.
[17:41] ---
    She sure is a straight shooter.
[17:43] ---
    I'm sorry, but I don't know
    a thing about your curse.
[17:46] ---
    It's not like we witches
    are all pals or anything,
[17:49] ---
    and if it didn't happen recently, it's
    even less likely anyone knows about it.
[17:51] ---
    Oh. That makes sense.
[17:54] ---
    The only other thing I could talk
    about would be myself, I guess.
[17:58] ---
    About you?
[17:59] ---
    You know about the witch hunts, right?
[18:01] ---
    Humans have been conducting them
    for quite some time.
[18:04] ---
    Well, there are still some radical groups
    that are going around killing witches.
[18:10] ---
    If we used our magic,
    we could make them pay.
[18:14] ---
    But there are just so many humans.
[18:17] ---
    My friend and I both lost
    our parents to witch hunters.
[18:20] ---
    Really?
[18:22] ---
    Those guys don't care who they kill.
[18:24] ---
    You see, my father... was human.
[18:28] ---
    Being half-witch and half-human,
    I grew up being shunned by both groups.
[18:34] ---
    I haven't attended a witches'
    sabbath in quite a while.
[18:37] ---
    I know there's no place I belong,
[18:39] ---
    but that's okay as long
    as my friend's with me.
[18:43] ---
    Don't come near me, you monster!
[18:47] ---
    You've got some grit, Cuff.
[18:50] ---
    You should hate me for being human,
    but instead, you chose to save me.
[18:56] ---
    It doesn't matter whether
    you're human or a witch.
[18:58] ---
    It was your determination
    that aroused my interest.
[19:05] ---
    I've finished mending your robe.
[19:07] ---
    Wow! It's just like new!
[19:11] ---
    Do all witches have robes like that?
[19:16] ---
    Huh? Not all of them do, but I doubt
    any humans possess them.
[19:21] ---
    Hey, Cuff, is there anything
    else you can tell us?
[19:24] ---
    Like, some kind of hint about
    how to break this curse?
[19:26] ---
    Now hold on, there!
[19:28] ---
    I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.
[19:32] ---
    Huh?
[19:33] ---
    That's not what I think,
    but it's what my friend says.
[19:37] ---
    Honestly, all this maneuvering
    is a real pain,
[19:39] ---
    and I'm afraid I might tell
    you something I shouldn't.
[19:42] ---
    See? All this thinking has
    given me a headache! Ouch!
[19:47] ---
    Well, getting mad at me
    isn't going to help...
[19:50] ---
    At times like these, it's my friend
    who does the thinking.
[19:54] ---
    He always makes the right decision.
[19:57] ---
    Well, it sounds like you've
    got a lot of faith in him.
[20:00] ---
    I guess you're quite fond of him.
[20:20] ---
    Huh?!
[20:42] ---
    You're no noble, so don't be
    hanging around the estate.
[20:45] ---
    Pauper!
[20:52] ---
    Alice, look at me.
[20:54] ---
    There's still some snow on you.
[20:56] ---
    Y-Your Grace...
[20:58] ---
    I'm sorry for what my friends did.
[21:01] ---
    I'll give them a good
    tongue-lashing later.
[21:06] ---
    You look really good in the snow.
[21:09] ---
    Just like a snow fairy.
[21:20] ---
    Alice, what are you up to this morning?
    You'll catch another cold.
[21:25] ---
    I was just feeling a little sentimental.
[21:27] ---
    You do some pretty strange things, too.
[21:29] ---
    Come on, let's go inside now.
[21:35] ---
    Wh-What's wrong?
[21:36] ---
    Nothing's wrong, Your Grace.
    Shall we head back?
[21:44] ---
    You looked like you wanted me to hold
    you close, and it took me by surprise.
[21:53] ---
    Every time my love for you grows,
    I feel like my heart will burst.
[23:36] ---
    You look wonderful in the snow.
[23:39] ---
    Just like a snow fairy.
[23:43] ---
    Huh? What are you laughing for?
[23:46] ---
    You haven't changed a bit, Your Grace.
[23:48] ---
    Hey! Huh?
[23:50] ---
    Your Grace, I truly adore you.
[23:53] ---
    Hey, you aren't teasing me again, are you?
[23:56] ---
    Come on, Alice. Say something.

    He takes the life of whatever he touches.

[03:12] ---
    She's always super nervous around him...
[03:14] ---
    I shall bring you some tea now.
[03:18] ---
    Th-Th-Th-Thank you!
[03:19] ---
    I-I'm fine with rainwater or whatever,
    so please don't go out of your way for me!
[03:23] ---
    Oh, he's looking
    totally dreamy again today...
[03:25] ---
    I simply adore you, Rob...
[03:27] ---
    You're such a panther.
[03:27] ---
    Oh, be quiet.
[03:30] ---
    I am not a panther.
[03:32] ---
    It's just that the guy I've fallen for
    happens to be much, much older than me.
[03:35] ---
    Isn't that what society calls a "panther"?
[03:38] ---
    Whatever.
[03:39] ---
    Boys my age act so childish,
    I'll have nothing to do with them.
[03:43] ---
    But Rob's a servant...
[03:46] ---
    You're one to talk!
[03:48] ---
    Is something the matter?
[03:50] ---
    Oh, sweets!
[03:52] ---
    I also brought you the tea
    that Rob made for you.
[04:00] ---
    Mmm! This is great!
[04:03] ---
    Come to think of it,
    I wonder what kind of girl Alice is...
[04:07] ---
    I'd better see for myself.
[04:11] ---
    While I enjoy the sweets
    you make, Alice...
[04:14] ---
    ...I find there's something
    lacking in you as a maid.
[04:24] ---
    And that is, you've got
    virtually no charm!
[04:27] ---
    While you may have a somewhat
    pretty face and huge boobs...
[04:31] ---
    Do you mind if I give them
    a little squeeze?
[04:34] ---
    Be my guest.
[04:37] ---
    Darn, they're soft...
[04:40] ---
    But I digress...
[04:42] ---
    You're a bit lacking in
    the human appeal department.
[04:45] ---
    I'll teach you what charm is
    using the Viola Method. Okay?
[04:49] ---
    What the heck is she doing?
    It makes me jealous.
[04:55] ---
    The Viola Method Charm School!
[04:57] ---
    "How to Make a Cute Face, Pt. 1."
[05:00] ---
    Blend into the wall,
    Dearest Brother, and don't move!
[05:04] ---
    Okay, okay...
[05:05] ---
    When it comes to charm,
    it's all in the face!
[05:07] ---
    In a nutshell, all you've
    got to do is play the cutesy girl.
[05:11] ---
    With women it goes down like
    a lead balloon, but it's loads of charm.
[05:15] ---
    Well? Think you can do it, Alice?
[05:18] ---
    I wonder how she'll react.
[05:20] ---
    A cool girl would probably
    object to doing this.
[05:23] ---
    You look awfully charming, Lady Viola.
[05:27] ---
    Please do teach me as well.
[05:29] ---
    You're such a good girl!
[05:31] ---
    Okay, I'll make an exception in your case.
[05:31] ---
    My sister's so gullible.
[05:34] ---
    Make a duck face!
[05:35] ---
    Tilt your head slightly to one side!
[05:37] ---
    Hide the contours of your face
    with your hands!
[05:39] ---
    Look upwards!
[05:40] ---
    Hey, you're forgetting
    to make a duck face!
[05:42] ---
    How much longer are they
    going to keep this up?
[05:45] ---
    Dearest Brother,
    you can turn and face us now.
[05:47] ---
    Oh?
[05:48] ---
    How's this?
[05:49] ---
    I'm all choked up!
[05:50] ---
    You look so cute I want to buy you
    everything your heart desires!
[05:54] ---
    I owe it all to Lady Viola's training.
[05:57] ---
    Well, you've still got
    a long way to go to reach my level.
[06:00] ---
    Am I oozing charm, Your Grace?
[06:03] ---
    What's with the raunchy remix
    just for my sake?!
[06:08] ---
    Forgive the intrusion.
[06:09] ---
    Lady Viola, your butlers say it's
    almost time for you to head home.
[06:13] ---
    Really?
[06:15] ---
    I wasn't able to talk
    with Rob again today...
[06:18] ---
    Hey, Viola. Why don't you say
    goodbye to Rob...
[06:21] ---
    ...using the Viola Method?
[06:23] ---
    You've got a point there.
[06:24] ---
    I'll show you guys what real charm is!
[06:27] ---
    You've got to put on your cutest face
    in front of the one you love!
[06:32] ---
    Rob, I'll come see you again sometime.
[06:34] ---
    Rob, I'll come see you again sum-thyme...
[06:40] ---
    Apparently, there's a gap between
    a person's ideals and reality.
[06:47] ---
    I wonder when Lady Viola
    will come here again.
[06:51] ---
    Beats me.
[06:54] ---
    I wonder if Alice
    has taken a shine to her.
[07:05] ---
    Yoo-hoo! Dearest Bruh-thuh?!
[07:07] ---
    Why, if it isn't Lady Viola!
[07:10] ---
    R-R-R-Rob?
[07:11] ---
    How good of you to drop by!
[07:14] ---
    If you're looking for His Grace,
    he's in the kitchen.
[07:18] ---
    Oh, okay.
[07:19] ---
    I didn't really come here
    to see my brother or anything...
[07:22] ---
    Oh, Rob, you're looking like
    a total dreamboat again today...
[07:25] ---
    I'd only like you to taste the soup stock.
[07:28] ---
    You're just saying that
    so you can take a peek, right?
[07:30] ---
    Huh?
[07:31] ---
    Okay then, promise me you won't
    take a peek inside my mouth.
[07:34] ---
    It's really embarrassing when you stare.
[07:37] ---
    All right, now...
[07:41] ---
    What are you guys doing?
[07:42] ---
    V-V-Viola?!
[07:43] ---
    I-I can explain this.
[07:45] ---
    I thought the witch would be attracted
    by the smell and come back again.
[07:48] ---
    Right, Alice?
[07:49] ---
    Yes, I was just getting ready
    to make some bread and stew.
[07:53] ---
    Oh, a witch, huh?
[07:55] ---
    As if I really care about that...
[07:57] ---
    This may be a chance to show Rob
    just how girlish I am!
[08:02] ---
    Let me help out with the cooking, too!
[08:04] ---
    Of course, milady.
[08:07] ---
    They've really hit it off well.
[08:10] ---
    It's not too tight, is it?
[08:12] ---
    No, it's fine.
[08:15] ---
    This is the first time
    I've worn one of these.
[08:17] ---
    It looks adorable on you.
[08:20] ---
    Okay then, why don't you
    shape the bread dough?
[08:23] ---
    Just you and Rob!
[08:26] ---
    Good luck, Viola!
[08:28] ---
    You're so creepy!
[08:33] ---
    All right, then.
[08:35] ---
    I've finally got a chance
    to have a leisurely chat with Rob.
[08:39] ---
    I'm so freaking nervous!
[08:48] ---
    Oh, how cute! It looks like he's really
    having fun rolling the dough into balls!
[08:51] ---
    I hope I come back as bread
    dough in the next life.
[08:53] ---
    All right then, how shall we
    shape the dough?
[08:57] ---
    Well, um, I'm not sure because
    I've never made bread before.
[09:01] ---
    Why don't you decide, Rob?
[09:04] ---
    There isn't a man alive who hates it
    when a girl depends on him.
[09:07] ---
    That's the Viola Method.
[09:11] ---
    Well then, how about something like this?
[09:16] ---
    That's really fancy!
[09:18] ---
    Pretty cute, don't you think?
[09:20] ---
    You're the one that's pretty cute!
[09:23] ---
    Milady, why don't you try shaping
    the dough into whatever form you wish?
[09:28] ---
    I don't know why,
    but when I'm cooking with you like this...
[09:32] ---
    ...it feels like we're newlyweds.
[09:34] ---
    Your Grace?
[09:34] ---
    Don't you think so, Rob?
[09:36] ---
    No, it's nothing!
[09:37] ---
    Not at all.
[09:38] ---
    You're much too young
    to be my wife, Lady Viola.
[09:42] ---
    "Wife," he said!
[09:45] ---
    Although if I weren't a butler,
[09:46] ---
    I might have had a granddaughter
    about your age, milady.
[09:50] ---
    "Granddaughter," he said!
[09:51] ---
    Aren't you going to make any more bread?
[09:53] ---
    "Bread," he said!
[09:55] ---
    Uh, bread. Right.
[10:07] ---
    I'm so jealous of my brother.
[10:09] ---
    He's got you and Alice by his side,
    and he seems to be having fun.
[10:15] ---
    With his curse and all, I'm glad that he's
    got people to give him emotional support.
[10:21] ---
    Still,
[10:23] ---
    you'd better tell that idiot to quit
    goofing around or his younger brother...
[10:27] ---
    ...will take his place
    as head of the family.
[10:29] ---
    Thank you, milady.
[10:33] ---
    You may say otherwise,
[10:35] ---
    but deep down,
    you truly do care about His Grace.
[10:39] ---
    Oh, Rob!
[10:41] ---
    Wow, that's some bread!
[10:42] ---
    It looks really cute.
[10:44] ---
    You're such a creep! Like, seriously,
    don't even talk to me!
[10:46] ---
    Oh? S-Sorry...
[10:57] ---
    I wish I could've been with Rob
    for longer than that...
[11:00] ---
    Lady Viola!
[11:03] ---
    Rob!
[11:04] ---
    Oh! Um...
[11:06] ---
    Please, take these.
[11:08] ---
    They're fresh from the oven.
[11:10] ---
    Oh...
[11:11] ---
    Please come back anytime.
[11:15] ---
    Um, okay. Thanks!
[11:30] ---
    Mmm!
[11:47] ---
    Your Grace, are you watching me?
[11:50] ---
    Yeah, I'm watching you!
[11:52] ---
    Would you like to see more?
[11:54] ---
    More of what?!
[12:03] ---
    She's so cute...
[12:04] ---
    Yeah, she's seriously cute.
[12:06] ---
    Huh?
[12:10] ---
    Hey, you haven't seen anybody
    lost around here, have you?
[12:13] ---
    What?
[12:15] ---
    I don't know if it's because
    I fell and hit my head,
[12:18] ---
    but it sounds like this crow's
    speaking to me.
[12:20] ---
    Hey, I'm picking up some
    magical energy coming from you.
[12:24] ---
    Aren't you one of us?
[12:25] ---
    Huh?
[12:26] ---
    W-Well, I'm cursed, so that might be why.
[12:29] ---
    Oh, so you're just a human, huh?
[12:32] ---
    So, you're a magic user, then?
[12:34] ---
    That's right.
[12:36] ---
    You wouldn't happen to be looking for...
[12:39] ---
    ...a lost, red-haired girl, would you?
[12:41] ---
    Yeah, a chick with a serious look on
    her face and not a thought in her head.
[12:45] ---
    Uh...
[12:46] ---
    ...so, you're the childhood friend
    that Cuff was talking about.
[12:49] ---
    What? You mean she told you about me?
[12:52] ---
    That's not like her.
[12:53] ---
    It's not in her nature
    to trust anyone but me.
[12:56] ---
    So, do you know where she went?
[12:58] ---
    Beats me. She left suddenly,
    and I haven't seen her since.
[13:03] ---
    I see.
[13:07] ---
    Uh, haven't you been staring
    at Alice a tad too much?
[13:10] ---
    Heh-heh, so you noticed.
[13:12] ---
    Your Grace, I found something
    surprising out on the lake.
[13:16] ---
    I met someone surprising myself just now.
[13:18] ---
    Cuff's friend... Whoa?!
[13:20] ---
    My name's Zain. I'm a magic user.
[13:23] ---
    Nice to meet you, Alice!
[13:25] ---
    Nice to meet you, too.
[13:26] ---
    His attitude is unmistakably
    different around her!
[13:29] ---
    Alice, I think you're majorly cute.
[13:31] ---
    Wha--?!
[13:32] ---
    You've got a gorgeous face
    and a voice to match.
[13:34] ---
    Whoa?!
[13:35] ---
    You're too close!
[13:36] ---
    What is with you, anyway?
[13:38] ---
    She's my Alice. Stop hitting on her!
[13:40] ---
    I'm crazy about girls,
[13:42] ---
    so asking me to stop
    hitting on them is asking too much.
[13:45] ---
    You know why?
    'Cause I'm crazy about girls.
[13:46] ---
    You don't have to say that twice now!
[13:49] ---
    Girls put makeup on and dress up
    for the guys they're into, right?
[13:54] ---
    Your point being?
[13:55] ---
    I find that behavior
    so adorable. I just love it.
[13:58] ---
    But when I mention that
    to Cuff, she's like...
[14:01] ---
    What's the point of flirting with guys?
[14:03] ---
    She is such a letdown!
[14:05] ---
    Looks like he's got a real
    fixation about something.
[14:08] ---
    Oh, and...
[14:12] ---
    ...I've got a thing for boobs.
[14:14] ---
    Those are your true colors showing!
[14:15] ---
    What? Boobs are the bomb, right?
[14:17] ---
    What are you playing the man's man for?
[14:19] ---
    I'm not!
[14:21] ---
    And besides, I'm more of
    a thigh guy myself.
[14:25] ---
    Would you stop taking notes?!
[14:26] ---
    Now, where the heck could Cuff have gone?
[14:30] ---
    Can't you use your magic to find her?
[14:33] ---
    No way, man. Magic can't solve everything.
[14:35] ---
    Anyhow, I'd better meet up with her soon.
[14:38] ---
    She can't do anything on her own,
[14:41] ---
    so I've got to protect her.
[14:44] ---
    No, don't!
[14:46] ---
    You mustn't squirm around like that.
[14:49] ---
    Cuff?!
[14:50] ---
    Cuff?
[14:52] ---
    She'd fallen in the lake.
[14:54] ---
    She was freezing, so I thought
    I'd warm her with my body heat.
[14:58] ---
    Consider where you're putting her!
[14:59] ---
    And you, stop staring so much!
[15:06] ---
    That's the first time someone's
    wedged me between their breasts.
[15:10] ---
    Oh, Zain, it's you.
[15:11] ---
    I was looking all over for you.
[15:13] ---
    Same here!
[15:14] ---
    I'd about given you up for dead!
[15:15] ---
    How many times did I tell you
    not to go anywhere if we got separated?
[15:18] ---
    I forgot about that.
[15:19] ---
    What does it matter? I survived, didn't I?
[15:21] ---
    Now look here...
[15:22] ---
    Isn't it great they found
    each other safe and sound?
[15:24] ---
    Yeah.
[15:25] ---
    So, what were you guys doing here?
[15:28] ---
    Oh, ice skating.
[15:30] ---
    Ice skating?
[15:42] ---
    I'm telling you, Zain, don't move!
[15:44] ---
    What do humans find so fun about this?
[15:47] ---
    So, why don't you
    just call it quits, then?
[15:49] ---
    I am not a quitter!
[15:50] ---
    See how stubborn you are already?
[15:52] ---
    Cuff, why don't you
    follow Alice's example?
[15:55] ---
    Just look at how graceful
    and ladylike she appears.
[15:58] ---
    Can you appreciate such virtue?
[16:00] ---
    I doubt it.
[16:02] ---
    You and she are total opposites.
[16:05] ---
    Darn that's hot!
[16:09] ---
    Just be thankful you've got
    natural ice to cool off with.
[16:12] ---
    I'll tan your hide!
[16:13] ---
    It must be great to be
    so physically close.
[16:16] ---
    Those two take it a bit too far, though...
[16:18] ---
    Your Grace?
[16:20] ---
    Do you think you're about ready
    to skate without any supports?
[16:23] ---
    Just imagine flinging yourself
    into my arms.
[16:26] ---
    Like I can do that!
[16:27] ---
    But you made it all the way here
    from the lake shore, didn't you?
[16:31] ---
    Ice skating is all about momentum.
[16:35] ---
    Hey, I'm beginning to feel
    like I can pull this off.
[16:37] ---
    I think I'll try skating
    to the lake shore.
[16:39] ---
    Why, that's a wonderful idea.
[16:41] ---
    Okay, here goes!
[16:43] ---
    Whoops!
[16:44] ---
    Your Grace!
[16:46] ---
    Ah-haha, sure enough, I slipped.
[16:48] ---
    But I actually skated there
    for a little bit.
[16:50] ---
    This is fun!
[16:53] ---
    I'm happy to hear you say that.
[16:55] ---
    Yeah, thanks.
[16:56] ---
    I owe it all to you.
    You're too close, though.
[17:00] ---
    It must be great to be
    so true to your feelings.
[17:03] ---
    Those two take it a bit too far, though...
[17:09] ---
    Wh-What is it?
[17:11] ---
    Just start walking.
[17:12] ---
    Huh?
[17:18] ---
    Oh, it's so much easier this way!
[17:21] ---
    Skating's a lot of fun!
[17:22] ---
    You can't really call this
    skating anymore, can you?
[17:25] ---
    Alice, come join us!
[17:26] ---
    Certainly.
[17:27] ---
    You too, Your Grace.
[17:42] ---
    Oh!
[17:44] ---
    It's snowing.
[17:53] ---
    Thanks for today.
[17:54] ---
    I'm glad we could meet.
[17:56] ---
    Yeah, same here. We owe you one.
[17:58] ---
    I talked it over with Zain, and...
[18:02] ---
    ...on the night of the next blood moon,
    we're thinking of taking you
[18:06] ---
    to a gathering of witches
    called the witches' sabbath.
[18:09] ---
    Huh?
[18:10] ---
    Since we can't tell you
    anything about witches,
[18:12] ---
    go to the witches' sabbath and do
    some investigating of your own.
[18:15] ---
    We'll help you out
    if something goes wrong.
[18:19] ---
    Wait!
[18:20] ---
    You're telling me to plunge into
    the witches' midst
[18:22] ---
    and find the one that cursed me?
[18:27] ---
    That's exactly what we're saying.
[18:29] ---
    We'll come for you the next time
    the moon turns blood red.
[18:31] ---
    You'd better be ready when we do.
[18:39] ---
    Are they serious?
[18:41] ---
    May I come with you?
[18:43] ---
    Huh? Well, I don't know...
[18:46] ---
    Please? There's something
    I'd like to make sure of.
[18:49] ---
    You think you can win me over
    if you say it all cutesy.
[18:53] ---
    Please, Your Grace?
[18:55] ---
    So, here you go and bust out
    the Viola Method?!
[19:03] ---
    Yes, I'll be right there...
[19:06] ---
    Why, hello there, Alice...
[19:08] ---
    Why are you standing there half-naked?!
[19:10] ---
    Lady Viola?
[19:13] ---
    I really wanted to spend
    the night in Rob's room,
[19:16] ---
    but my brother wouldn't let me.
[19:19] ---
    So, I decided I'd spend the night here.
[19:22] ---
    I see.
[19:23] ---
    Anyway, what a small room you have.
[19:26] ---
    What's this?
[19:28] ---
    Why do you have a dead flower
    in a jar on your table?
[19:31] ---
    It's one of my prized possessions.
[19:35] ---
    You sure are strange, Alice.
[19:37] ---
    But I kind of like that about you.
[19:39] ---
    Thank you.
[19:45] ---
    You're so warm.
[19:46] ---
    This feels like a girls only party.
[19:48] ---
    A girls only party?
[19:49] ---
    Yeah. We talk about stuff that we can
    only discuss with other girls.
[19:53] ---
    For example, I don't think
    you're aware of this, Alice...
[19:58] ---
    ...but you see, I've got a crush on Rob.
[20:04] ---
    Oh, I didn't know.
[20:06] ---
    Shh!
[20:07] ---
    It's our secret! You can't breathe
    a word of this to anyone!
[20:10] ---
    Rob is such a gentleman.
[20:13] ---
    I think he's the perfect match
    for you, Lady Viola.
[20:16] ---
    You get it?
[20:17] ---
    I knew you would, Alice! See?
    This is what a girls only party is like.
[20:20] ---
    So, this is a girls only party...
[20:24] ---
    Do you have a crush on anyone, Alice?
[20:27] ---
    Yes, I do.
[20:30] ---
    He's like Prince Charming to me.
[20:32] ---
    Prince Charming?
[20:33] ---
    Aha, I knew it! My brother's
    feelings for her go unreturned.
[20:36] ---
    The poor thing.
[20:37] ---
    He saved me when I needed it.
[20:40] ---
    He makes my life worthwhile.
[20:42] ---
    Hey, Alice.
[20:43] ---
    If you want to get this guy to like you,
    come to me anytime for advice.
[20:46] ---
    I'll coach you in the Viola Method.
[20:48] ---
    That's so reassuring, Lady Viola.
[20:55] ---
    I've always wanted an older sister.
[20:58] ---
    Ever since I was little, my mother focused
    all of her attention on my brothers.
[21:02] ---
    I still put a lot of effort
    into my lessons,
[21:04] ---
    but she's never shown
    any interest in me.
[21:07] ---
    I've always wanted somebody
    to pamper me like this.
[21:16] ---
    She looks just like His Grace
    when she's asleep.
[21:18] ---
    Alice?
[21:20] ---
    Is Viola here...
[21:22] ---
    She's just fallen asleep.
[21:25] ---
    Ooh, Viola's doing something else
    that makes me jealous...
[21:28] ---
    Your Grace?
[21:29] ---
    When Lady Viola wakes up tomorrow morning,
    please compliment her as much as you can.
[21:33] ---
    Um, why?
[21:35] ---
    I want her to feel pampered.
[21:37] ---
    Um, okay.
[23:13] ---
    Alice, thanks for letting me
    sleep over last night!
[23:17] ---
    So, what are you doing here,
    Dearest Brother?
[23:20] ---
    Uh, well...
[23:22] ---
    V-Viola, your hair
    is so nice and beautiful.
[23:24] ---
    See, mine's naturally curly, so... ahaha.
[23:26] ---
    Your point being? What are you
    complimenting me for all of a sudden?
[23:29] ---
    Well, even if you had silky,
    shiny hair, Dearest Brother,
[23:32] ---
    it wouldn't make you
    any more popular with the ladies.
[23:34] ---
    And after I complimented her and all...
[23:36] ---
    Dearest Brother, I hope in the next life
    you'll be more like Prince Charming.
[23:40] ---
    You mustn't speak of that, Lady Viola.
[23:43] ---
    Oh, why not?
[23:44] ---
    He doesn't get it anyway.
[23:46] ---
    Huh? What are you talking about?
[23:47] ---
    Something we talked about
    at our girls only party.
[23:49] ---
    It's no concern of yours,
    Dearest Brother.
[23:51] ---
    Well, let me join you next time, then.
[23:53] ---
    No can do.
[23:54] ---
    Hey, there's nothing wrong with it.
[23:57] ---
    Is there, Alice?
[23:58] ---
    Yes, there is.

[00:27] ---
    Can you imagine...
[00:30] ---
    ...a life in which you could
    never touch the one you love?
[00:35] ---
    He takes the life of whatever he touches.
[00:38] ---
    That was the curse the witch put on him.
[00:41] ---
    Plants, animals... and people
    are no exception, of course.
[00:46] ---
    Regarding her son, doomed to live his life
    without knowing the warmth of another,
[00:49] ---
    his mother only complained.
[00:52] ---
    "That child is like Death incarnate..."
[00:54] ---
    she said.
[01:01] ---
    This occurred to me earlier, but...
[01:03] ---
    ...something about your
    maid uniform bothers me.
[01:08] ---
    Would you care to have a look?
[01:09] ---
    You're already showing it off!
[01:11] ---
    What I meant was...
[01:13] ---
    ...your shoulders and all are too exposed,
    and I don't think it's appropriate.
[01:16] ---
    Can't you wear something more normal?
[01:18] ---
    Normal...
[01:21] ---
    You mean, like this?
[01:22] ---
    No, this is too sexy in its own right!
[01:24] ---
    And what's with the picture boards?!
[01:26] ---
    All right, then how about this?
[01:27] ---
    No maid would pose like that!
[01:30] ---
    All right, then starting tomorrow
    I just won't wear anything at all.
[01:32] ---
    How did you jump to that conclusion?!
SIGN    Episode 6: The Duke, Alice,
    and a Night in the Witches' World
[03:06] ---
    Just look at this!
[03:08] ---
    Since it's cold out, I thought I'd do some
    reading in the conservatory, but...
[03:11] ---
    ...the place is an utter mess!
[03:15] ---
    I'm terribly sorry.
[03:17] ---
    Both Rob and I had completely
    forgotten about this place.
[03:21] ---
    I realize two servants are just not
    enough for a mansion this big.
[03:26] ---
    Let's leave what was here
    originally and get rid of the rest.
[03:29] ---
    I'll give you a hand.
[03:31] ---
    Thank you, Your Grace.
[03:33] ---
    All right...
[03:35] ---
    ...then let's use these.
[03:37] ---
    Have you got a link to hyperspace or
    something between your breasts?
[03:41] ---
    It's amazing how thick
    the greenery has gotten.
[03:44] ---
    Though once I expose them
    to the power of my curse,
[03:47] ---
    it doesn't really matter
    how much they've grown.
[03:52] ---
    My curse obeys certain rules.
[03:54] ---
    Any organism that touches me will die.
[03:59] ---
    Touching me over my clothes
    will produce the same result.
[04:02] ---
    Because I've taken the utmost precautions,
    I've never caused anyone's death.
[04:07] ---
    Though...
[04:08] ---
    ...I have taken the lives
    of many small creatures.
[04:14] ---
    Still, since I started living here, I've
    come to learn what's safe and what's not.
[04:19] ---
    Living things can get
    infinitesimally close to me...
[04:21] ---
    ...and be fine, as long as they
    don't come in direct contact.
[04:24] ---
    If my clothing is thick enough,
    they can touch me and be okay.
[04:29] ---
    They can touch objects that I'm
    in contact with and be all right.
[04:32] ---
    It doesn't appear to pose any problems
    if my sweat or spittle gets on them.
[04:38] ---
    I can grab onto their clothing.
[04:40] ---
    But I hardly ever do that
    because it's too risky.
[04:43] ---
    These rules were made solely at
    the whim of the witch who cursed me.
[04:49] ---
    In other words,
[04:50] ---
    from that day on I have
    lived under her control.
[04:57] ---
    Oh, I'd better check on Alice...
[05:02] ---
    What are you looking at? Flowers?
[05:04] ---
    Yes. They've blossomed so beautifully.
[05:08] ---
    But I've enjoyed them enough.
[05:11] ---
    Would you wither them for me?
[05:13] ---
    Huh? Are you sure?
[05:14] ---
    Yes. I'll be over there tidying up.
[05:18] ---
    Alice...
[05:30] ---
    Alice!
[05:35] ---
    A garland?
[05:37] ---
    Uh-huh, I made it just now!
[05:39] ---
    I thought it'd be a shame to just wither
    them, so I turned them into dried flowers.
[05:43] ---
    This way you'll be able to enjoy
    them for a while longer.
[05:46] ---
    Dried flowers, you say?
[05:48] ---
    I can't vouch for their quality, though...
[05:52] ---
    Thank you so much.
[05:54] ---
    It's one more thing for me to treasure.
[05:56] ---
    I'm such a lucky girl.
[05:58] ---
    I'm so glad you like it.
[06:01] ---
    I won't be under your
    control forever, witch.
[06:05] ---
    On the night of the next blood moon,
    we're thinking of taking you...
[06:09] ---
    ...to a gathering of witches
    called the witches' sabbath.
[06:12] ---
    If I go to the witches' sabbath,
[06:14] ---
    I may find some leads
    on how to break my curse.
[06:17] ---
    If I can break it,
[06:20] ---
    Mother will accept me.
[06:22] ---
    I'll be able to go home.
[06:24] ---
    And dine with my family again...
[06:29] ---
    No, I'm sure by then that Mother will...
[06:45] ---
    Viola?
[06:46] ---
    You haven't been dining with us lately.
[06:49] ---
    What have you been up to?
[06:52] ---
    I've been going to a friend's house.
[06:55] ---
    As an aristocrat's daughter, you must
    take care to act in moderation.
[06:59] ---
    You understand, don't you?
[07:01] ---
    Yes.
[07:17] ---
    Darn it. I can't sleep.
[07:22] ---
    Oh!
[07:24] ---
    Stop that!
[07:25] ---
    Alice?!
[07:28] ---
    Alice, what's wrong?
[07:29] ---
    Oh, Your Grace!
[07:32] ---
    Forgive me.
    I was taking a shower.
[07:37] ---
    Thank goodness you came
    to my aid, Your Grace.
[07:40] ---
    Your Grace?
[07:41] ---
    I am one with the floor.
    I didn't see anything.
[07:43] ---
    Anything at all.
[07:46] ---
    A cat in the shower room?
[07:48] ---
    Yes. It slipped in, and before I knew it,
    it had run off with my dressing gown.
[07:53] ---
    I had just washed my maid uniform, so...
[07:56] ---
    In that case, leave it to me.
[07:58] ---
    I just need to get your gown
    back from the cat, right?
[08:00] ---
    You wait here and take your shower, okay?
[08:02] ---
    Your Grace?
[08:04] ---
    Thank you so much.
[08:05] ---
    I'm just doing what any
    gentleman would do.
[08:09] ---
    I'll come back as soon as I find it.
[08:11] ---
    All right.
[08:12] ---
    You don't have to tag along, you know!
[08:14] ---
    You'll catch a chill!
[08:15] ---
    Yes, but this was the result
    of my carelessness,
[08:18] ---
    and since there's a cat involved,
    I think I'd better come along.
[08:22] ---
    Well, you've got a point there.
[08:24] ---
    Okay, but you should...
[08:27] ---
    ...wear this at least. It may be a little
    big for you, but it's better than nothing.
[08:32] ---
    It smells like you, Your Grace.
[08:34] ---
    You don't have to tell me what you think.
    Let's get moving.
[08:41] ---
    It's hard looking for a black cat in
    the dark like this, don't you think?
[08:46] ---
    Uh, yeah...
[08:47] ---
    It's dragging my gown behind it,
    so I doubt it's gotten very far.
[08:53] ---
    Uh, right...
[08:54] ---
    I can't take in anything she says.
[08:57] ---
    Would you like to touch them?
[09:00] ---
    It's okay, you know.
[09:01] ---
    No, it's not that, it's...
[09:05] ---
    There it is! The cat!
[09:07] ---
    Come on, let's go after it!
[09:08] ---
    Alice!
[09:09] ---
    Right now, I'd like to talk
    with you, Your Grace.
[09:12] ---
    Have you forgotten what we're here for?!
[09:18] ---
    Thankfully we caught it, but...
[09:20] ---
    My gown's all chewed up.
[09:23] ---
    This cat has kittens, so it must've wanted
    to take some cloth back to its nest.
[09:28] ---
    You can't wear that anymore.
    You should go out and buy a new one.
[09:33] ---
    This gown was my favorite because you told
    me how good it looked on me, Your Grace.
[09:37] ---
    That outfit looks nice.
[09:40] ---
    To think she remembered that casual
    remark I made... Is she pure or what?
[09:45] ---
    This is for you.
[09:48] ---
    Come again sometime.
[09:54] ---
    Thank you for your help, Your Grace.
[09:57] ---
    My maid uniform is dry now,
    so I can wear it back to my room.
[10:02] ---
    You must be chilly. Why don't you take
    another shower before you go to bed?
[10:06] ---
    All right. Would you care to join me?
[10:08] ---
    As if!
[10:10] ---
    Then let me give you your jacket back.
[10:12] ---
    No, no, you can do that tomorrow!
[10:14] ---
    Anyhow, see you tomorrow!
[10:16] ---
    Try not to catch a cold or anything.
[10:18] ---
    Good night!
[10:21] ---
    Though I always feel so lonely
    at this precise moment.
[10:36] ---
    Good night, Your Grace.
[10:53] ---
    And who might you be?
[10:58] ---
    Nobody dodgy.
[11:00] ---
    We came to take the Duke
    to the witches' sabbath.
[11:05] ---
    Darn it all!
[11:07] ---
    Cuff and Zain will be here any minute.
[11:09] ---
    Which stuff should I leave here?
[11:12] ---
    You're awfully calm.
[11:14] ---
    We're going to a witches'
    gathering, you know.
[11:16] ---
    Aren't you scared?
[11:17] ---
    No, not particularly.
[11:20] ---
    I'm even taking some gifts for them.
[11:22] ---
    Tuna and what not.
[11:23] ---
    Do you think these witches
    are cats or something?
[11:26] ---
    Oh, Alice? Are you in here?
[11:29] ---
    Cuff! Zain!
[11:30] ---
    What's with all the useless garbage?
[11:32] ---
    You don't need any of it
    at the witches' sabbath.
[11:35] ---
    You're not in any danger as long
    as they don't find out you're human.
[11:39] ---
    Leave that junk here.
[11:41] ---
    Did you really need to burn it?
[11:42] ---
    Nope.
[11:44] ---
    May I come along to tonight's
    witches' sabbath as well?
[11:47] ---
    No problem.
[11:48] ---
    You aren't taking this seriously enough!
[11:49] ---
    Witches' gatherings are scary,
    aren't they?
[11:52] ---
    How can you be so casual about it?
[11:54] ---
    The gatherings certainly are scary.
    But relax.
[11:58] ---
    I'm here to protect you, Alice.
[12:00] ---
    What about me?!
[12:03] ---
    But... why are the two of them
    helping me out like this?
[12:08] ---
    If the others found out they brought
    humans to the witches' sabbath,
[12:11] ---
    their own standing would be compromised.
[12:14] ---
    Okay, it looks like we can
    use this to get there easily.
[12:17] ---
    Cuff, give them the robes.
[12:19] ---
    Sure thing.
[12:21] ---
    Those robes will mask your human stench
    as long as you've got them on.
[12:24] ---
    We'll claim that you're my
    younger brother and sister.
[12:28] ---
    So act accordingly.
[12:29] ---
    O-Okay.
[12:36] ---
    Stick with me, Alice.
[12:38] ---
    Quit acting cool and get a move on!
[12:40] ---
    Your Grace, let's go.
[12:42] ---
    Yeah...
[12:43] ---
    Your Grace?
[12:44] ---
    Will you be all right?
[12:46] ---
    Don't worry, Rob.
[12:49] ---
    Alice is coming with me,
    and we'll both come back safely.
[12:51] ---
    Then I wish you good luck!
[13:05] ---
    Be careful, Alice.
[13:23] ---
    Witches...
[13:26] ---
    ...aren't all like Cuff or Zain.
[13:30] ---
    They look like downright monsters.
[13:36] ---
    Alice, a-a-a-are you all right?
[13:38] ---
    I'm here for you, you know!
[13:40] ---
    Are you all right, Your Grace?
[13:43] ---
    I wonder, could she be here?
[13:46] ---
    The witch that cursed me, that is.
[13:50] ---
    Say, mister, could you grab that?
[13:58] ---
    Thanks, mister!
[14:00] ---
    Hey, I haven't seen you before.
[14:03] ---
    His Grace has completely locked up.
[14:06] ---
    Come on, hang in there.
[14:07] ---
    This does not bode well...
[14:10] ---
    Is everyone here now?
[14:25] ---
    Okay then, let's begin!
[14:28] ---
    Witch on night duty, please do the honors.
[14:30] ---
    All rise!
[14:32] ---
    Bow!
[14:33] ---
    Good evening, everyone!
[14:37] ---
    Witches are more courteous than I thought.
[14:40] ---
    Okay, time to take attendance.
[14:42] ---
    Beto?
[14:43] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[14:44] ---
    Lloyd?
[14:44] ---
    He's got a cold.
[14:45] ---
    Elle?
[14:46] ---
    She's not here because her
    grandma's visiting.
[14:49] ---
    Um, Daleth. That's me, so... Present.
[14:53] ---
    Daleth's our leader.
[14:55] ---
    Rumor has it she's quite a looker
    underneath that mask.
[14:58] ---
    You don't say.
[14:59] ---
    Keto and Teto?
[15:01] ---
    What's up?
[15:02] ---
    Zain?
[15:03] ---
    Yes, I'm here!
[15:05] ---
    Cuff?
[15:07] ---
    Here.
[15:08] ---
    It's not like you to come
    to a witches' sabbath.
[15:12] ---
    Who are those two you brought with you?
[15:14] ---
    Well, uh...
[15:15] ---
    They're my siblings, got it?
[15:17] ---
    Yeah. They're Zain's and my kids!
[15:23] ---
    I knew it!
[15:24] ---
    Congratulations!
[15:24] ---
    Why did you freak out and
    say such a stupid thing?
[15:28] ---
    I'm shorry!
[15:29] ---
    Please don't blame her so harshly, Father.
[15:32] ---
    Call me Daddy!
[15:33] ---
    Your kids, huh?
[15:35] ---
    That's great! This should be interesting.
[15:37] ---
    This evening's attendance is good, too.
    I'm really happy about that.
[15:40] ---
    At least for now, they haven't
    figured out we're human, I hope?
[15:43] ---
    All right, it's time for our first report.
[15:46] ---
    Yesterday, a flower blossomed on the
    mandrake that we've all been growing.
[15:50] ---
    Isn't it adorable?
[15:52] ---
    Unfortunately, it seems we'll
    have to wait a little longer...
[15:54] ---
    ...for the poisonous Budgett's
    frog eggs to hatch.
[15:57] ---
    And anyone who would like to chip
    in to buy a Voodoo doll...
[16:00] ---
    ...should apply by the
    next witches' sabbath.
[16:02] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[16:04] ---
    I'm so glad this turned out to be
    such a laid-back meeting.
[16:07] ---
    Me, too.
[16:08] ---
    Okay, this ends tonight's
    witches' sabbath.
[16:12] ---
    What? Already?
[16:16] ---
    All right, dismissed.
[16:21] ---
    Wh-What should we do?
[16:22] ---
    The witches' sabbath has ended.
[16:23] ---
    And we still haven't found
    any leads into my curse.
[16:29] ---
    I was amazed to hear you had kids, Zain.
[16:33] ---
    Did you knock her up?
[16:34] ---
    Yep.
[16:35] ---
    Don't you say another word.
[16:37] ---
    Honestly, what the heck were you thinking?
[16:40] ---
    Cuff's got human blood
    running through her veins.
[16:47] ---
    Cuff's a respectable witch.
[16:50] ---
    Now apologize to her.
[16:53] ---
    Uh, well...
[16:56] ---
    Sorry, Cuff. It was a slip of the tongue.
[16:59] ---
    No problem, just so long as you know.
[17:01] ---
    Having said that...
[17:03] ---
    ...let's kick this ball around!
[17:06] ---
    Y-You want me to play, too?
[17:08] ---
    Of course, my boy!
[17:10] ---
    Yay!
[17:14] ---
    And so, we meet again, Alice.
[17:17] ---
    You knew it was me?
[17:18] ---
    Well, yeah.
    I'm good at remembering faces.
[17:22] ---
    Whoa! He blocked it with his face!
[17:24] ---
    So, you won Zain and Cuff
    over and came to see me.
[17:28] ---
    What exactly do you want?
[17:29] ---
    I wanted to know whether my mother
    had any connection with you witches.
[17:34] ---
    Well, I'm not really sure.
[17:36] ---
    I was only a slight acquaintance
    of your mother's.
[17:41] ---
    Alice, do you have a handkerchief?
[17:43] ---
    The ball hit me in the face...
[17:44] ---
    Oh, dear!
[17:49] ---
    You two seem to be pretty close.
[17:51] ---
    Are you an item?
[17:52] ---
    N-No, we aren't, but...
[17:54] ---
    ...does it look that way?
[17:55] ---
    You've grown quite a bit...
[17:58] ---
    ...in spite of your curse.
[18:01] ---
    You... know who I am?
[18:03] ---
    Yes, I saw you at that aristocrat's
    mansion when you were little.
[18:08] ---
    And of course, I also know about
    the witch that cursed you.
[18:12] ---
    Who is she?
[18:14] ---
    Please, let us meet her.
    We'd like her to break the curse.
[18:18] ---
    I can't. It's impossible.
[18:20] ---
    But why?
[18:21] ---
    She's dead.
[18:24] ---
    And I have absolutely no idea
    how to break your curse.
[18:29] ---
    H-How did she die?
[18:31] ---
    So, the curse doesn't break
    when the witch dies?
[18:33] ---
    What did she curse me for?
[18:36] ---
    Oh, you've got so many questions.
[18:38] ---
    She was a whiz at magic.
[18:41] ---
    And she died because of it.
[18:44] ---
    Let us speak of this no more.
[18:47] ---
    I despise her.
[18:49] ---
    B-But!
[18:50] ---
    One word of advice.
[18:52] ---
    The curse you've got is unlike anything
    some run-of-the-mill witch could cast.
[18:57] ---
    I suggest that you give up now.
[19:01] ---
    Darn that's hot!
[19:02] ---
    What'd you do that for?
[19:03] ---
    Your Grace, if you don't
    have your robe on...
[19:08] ---
    I smell a human.
[19:10] ---
    It's a human.
[19:11] ---
    A human.
[19:12] ---
    Wh-What do we do now?
[19:14] ---
    Let's run back to the mirror.
[19:19] ---
    A human?
[19:19] ---
    Yeah, that's what they say.
[19:21] ---
    Don't let them get away!
[19:24] ---
    You're like, totally gonna be
    pet food for my magic plant!
[19:33] ---
    Alice, are you all right?
[19:35] ---
    Y-Yes, Your Grace.
[19:41] ---
    Oh. My. Gosh. It's totally dead!
[19:42] ---
    Like, why?!
[19:47] ---
    Don't let them get away!
[19:48] ---
    After them!
[19:52] ---
    Zain! Cuff! Get back here!
[19:54] ---
    Why are you siding with the humans?
[19:56] ---
    Come back! Come back, I say!
[20:02] ---
    W-We're safe...
[20:07] ---
    Cuff, Zain, I'm sorry.
[20:10] ---
    You did this for me.
    I don't know how to thank you.
[20:15] ---
    They were freakin' pissed!
[20:17] ---
    Ooh, they had me scared!
[20:19] ---
    We're always fighting like that,
    so don't worry about it.
[20:22] ---
    They'll forget about it in no time.
[20:25] ---
    And this way we won't have to go to
    another witches' sabbath for a while.
[20:28] ---
    I'd take on every witch in
    the witches' world for you, Alice.
[20:32] ---
    Are you hurt?
[20:33] ---
    No, not a scratch.
[20:35] ---
    Why don't you take another trip?
[20:37] ---
    Don't make me go back there!
[20:37] ---
    You were really great
    back there, Your Grace.
[20:41] ---
    Well, it all happened so fast...
[20:43] ---
    You protected me, Your Grace,
    and saved my life.
[20:46] ---
    Thank you.
[20:47] ---
    N-No problem.
[20:48] ---
    So, did you get any leads?
[20:52] ---
    Yeah.
[20:53] ---
    I was able to learn some stuff
    from that witch Daleth.
[20:56] ---
    It wound up being bleaker
    than I'd hoped, but...
[20:59] ---
    ...now I understand the situation.
[21:01] ---
    And I couldn't have
    done it without you two.
[21:02] ---
    Thanks.
[21:03] ---
    I see. That's great.
[21:06] ---
    Why have you been helping
    me out so much, Cuff?
[21:09] ---
    We haven't known each other for very long,
[21:11] ---
    and there's nothing in it for you,
    being a witch and all.
[21:14] ---
    Well, I'm not sure I know
    the reason why, but...
[21:17] ---
    ...when I met you that day
    for the first time...
[21:21] ---
    ...and saw you going all-out
    for someone else's sake,
[21:24] ---
    I decided I wanted to be friends with you.
[21:26] ---
    I-I feel the same way. I hope I can
    be friends with you and Zain.
[21:31] ---
    Really?
[21:32] ---
    Oh, this is so easy.
[21:37] ---
    Starting next time,
    we'll come over as friends.
[21:40] ---
    See you again!
[21:41] ---
    So long, Alice!
[21:42] ---
    Ouch!
[21:44] ---
    As friends...
[21:47] ---
    Friends! Did you hear that, Alice?
[21:49] ---
    I've got friends!
[21:51] ---
    Seeing you happy makes me
    happy, too, Your Grace.
[21:54] ---
    I don't know what will become of my curse.
[21:57] ---
    But I'm sure I'll get to
    the truth of the matter.
[22:01] ---
    Thanks for sticking with me.
    I hope I can continue to rely on you.
[22:05] ---
    Certainly. Let's break your
    curse whatever happens.
[22:08] ---
    It's tough never being able
    to touch the one you love.
[22:12] ---
    S-Same here.
[22:14] ---
    Would you like to touch me?
[22:15] ---
    Of all things I could touch,
    why'd you pick your breasts?
[22:18] ---
    What about your hands or your hair?
[22:20] ---
    Besides, I can't touch them anyway!
[22:24] ---
    I can't just walk in on them now...

[00:27] ---
    Can you imagine...
[00:30] ---
    ...a life in which you could
    never touch the one you love?
[00:35] ---
    He takes the life of whatever he touches.
[00:38] ---
    That was the curse the witch put on him.
[00:41] ---
    Plants, animals... and people
    are no exception, of course.
[00:46] ---
    Regarding her son, doomed to live his life
    without knowing the warmth of another,
[00:49] ---
    his mother only complained.
[00:52] ---
    "That child is like Death incarnate..."
[00:54] ---
    she said.
[00:58] ---
    Don't ask me why, but lately I feel like
    all we do is talk about your clothes.
[01:02] ---
    Alice, I noticed you only wear
    black both in and out of uniform.
[01:06] ---
    Why is that?
[01:07] ---
    I like the color black.
[01:08] ---
    I'd like to see you wear some different
    colored clothes for a change.
[01:11] ---
    I kind of like white myself.
    It looks so simple and honest.
[01:14] ---
    If you say it's all right, Your Grace...
[01:16] ---
    By all means, give it a try.
[01:18] ---
    I think you'd look great in
    a casual white dress...
[01:20] ---
    ...and a formal gown, too...
[01:26] ---
    Is something the matter?
[01:28] ---
    It's nothing. Nothing at all...
SIGN    Episode 7: 
    The Duke's and Alice's Uneventful Day
[03:02] ---
    What is that unpleasant-looking thing?
[03:04] ---
    It's a magic pot. They say that some
    witch made it and cared for it daily.
[03:09] ---
    A witch's tool?
[03:11] ---
    I happened to see it in town
    the other day, so I bought it.
[03:14] ---
    It arrived just now.
[03:17] ---
    It even comes with a book of recipes.
[03:19] ---
    Pretty exciting, don't you think?
[03:20] ---
    I fail to see what you find
    so exciting about it...
[03:24] ---
    Why don't we try cooking with it?
[03:26] ---
    There's something I'd like
    you to sample, Your Grace.
[03:28] ---
    Sure, I don't mind, but do you really
    need to get this close to tell me?
[03:33] ---
    If this is a witch's tool, then it's
    not for normal cooking, right?
[03:37] ---
    What exactly do you want to make?
[03:38] ---
    A love potion...
    I mean, just some soup.
[03:41] ---
    You totally let that slip!
[03:44] ---
    All the ingredients are now ready.
[03:46] ---
    Shall we get started?
[03:48] ---
    Do I really have to
    take part in this, too?
[03:51] ---
    Yes, you do.
[03:52] ---
    We're doing this for you, Your Grace.
[03:53] ---
    I'm amazed you can say
    that with a straight face.
[03:56] ---
    This pot is quite useful.
[03:59] ---
    I'd really like you to see it
    in action, Your Grace.
[04:02] ---
    "C'mon and be my girl."
[04:08] ---
    I-I wouldn't be caught dead
    with the likes of you!
[04:11] ---
    This way you don't have to
    use a stove to heat it up.
[04:14] ---
    What sort of taste do
    witches have, anyway?
[04:17] ---
    Well, I guess I got some idea of what it
    is from going to that witches' sabbath...
[04:20] ---
    Once the pot comes to a boil,
    we add the ingredients.
[04:23] ---
    Seasoned lizard's tail.
[04:26] ---
    Amoebas. Red clay soil.
[04:27] ---
    Snail's shell.
    Fur from a cat's back--
[04:30] ---
    Hang on there! There's no way
    those could be cooking ingredients!
[04:33] ---
    I'm the one who's going to drink this!
[04:33] ---
    Sneak a peek!
[04:36] ---
    Let's continue, shall we?
[04:37] ---
    I'm such an easy target...
[04:44] ---
    Witches...
[04:45] ---
    The more I encounter,
    the less I understand...
[04:47] ---
    There are witches like
    the one that cursed me...
[04:49] ---
    ...and others like Cuff and Zain
    who are friendly.
[04:53] ---
    I suggest that you give up now.
[04:57] ---
    I can't do that...
[04:59] ---
    But, then again, I also don't know
    what my next move should be...
[05:03] ---
    What the heck are you
    staring at, you freakin' perv?!
[05:05] ---
    I-I'm so sorry!
[05:07] ---
    Your Grace?
[05:08] ---
    It looks like this magic pot
    has other handy features...
[05:11] ---
    ...that we can use by saying
    the magic words.
[05:13] ---
    Um, like what?
[05:15] ---
    "Say, you're actually pretty cute
    when you take off your glasses."
[05:19] ---
    Wha--?!
[05:21] ---
    You idiot!
[05:22] ---
    This is a spell that allows you
    to make a smokescreen easily.
[05:25] ---
    Like there's ever a time you need to make
    a smokescreen when you're cooking!
[05:33] ---
    And now this is where
    you come in, Your Grace.
[05:36] ---
    As you think of all the fun and happy
    things in your life, stir the pot.
[05:41] ---
    Um, okay.
[05:43] ---
    Fun things, happy things...
[05:47] ---
    Happy things, happy things,
    happy things, happy things...
[05:55] ---
    I got distracted at the end there...
[05:57] ---
    It's finished.
[05:59] ---
    Actually, this isn't just some soup.
[06:02] ---
    Uh, you said so yourself
    before we started.
[06:05] ---
    I was amazed when I saw this in town.
[06:08] ---
    See? It's a potion to
    remove a witch's curse.
[06:11] ---
    So, it wasn't a love potion?
[06:14] ---
    They say if you get distracted while
    you're stirring, it won't be as effective.
[06:16] ---
    I thought I'd warn you at first, but...
[06:19] ---
    No, I'd just get more distracted that way!
[06:21] ---
    In fact, I did get distracted a bit!
[06:23] ---
    It says it's all right...
[06:25] ---
    ...as long as you don't think about
    the curse while you're stirring.
[06:28] ---
    So, this magic pot and those
    ingredients were all for me?
[06:33] ---
    Yes.
[06:34] ---
    Since the witch that cursed
    you is no longer living,
[06:37] ---
    I thought we should try anything we can.
[06:41] ---
    It may be a bit hot, but...
[06:43] ---
    Okay.
[06:45] ---
    I'll try it.
[06:48] ---
    This tastes like hell...
[06:51] ---
    Your Grace, let's test it out.
[07:01] ---
    It didn't work...
[07:03] ---
    We'll just have to accept it, I guess.
[07:04] ---
    According to that witch Daleth,
    it's not your run-of-the-mill curse.
[07:08] ---
    More importantly, I was happy for
    your feelings of encouragement.
[07:13] ---
    Thanks.
[07:14] ---
    I'll look for some other way
    to break the curse, then.
[07:18] ---
    Okay, I'm counting on you.
[07:20] ---
    So...
[07:22] ---
    What should we do with this?
[07:23] ---
    If we tried to get rid of it,
    it might curse us...
[07:27] ---
    You're giving this to me?
[07:29] ---
    Um, yeah. It's a magic pot.
[07:32] ---
    I'll let you decide what to do with it.
[07:35] ---
    Oh, what a sharp dresser!
[07:38] ---
    You mean, I'm going to be his?
[07:40] ---
    A talking pot?
[07:42] ---
    Fascinating.
[07:43] ---
    Thank you for this.
[07:45] ---
    Oh, my! We're going on
    our honeymoon already?
[07:48] ---
    Though I am but a humble pot, I hope
    we'll be together for better or worse.
[07:53] ---
    V-Viola?!
[07:55] ---
    How long have you been there?
[07:56] ---
    Viola, wait a sec!
[07:57] ---
    Rob! Hide that pot!
[08:00] ---
    Alice! Stop Viola!
[08:02] ---
    Alice!
[08:29] ---
    Wow, this sheet music's so hard to read...
[08:31] ---
    What is this, anyway?
[08:33] ---
    It's the final score that the composer
    McFarlane wrote before he died.
[08:36] ---
    They say it's the world's most
    beautiful piece of music.
[08:39] ---
    McFarlane?
[08:41] ---
    But it's got quite a checkered history...
[08:44] ---
    They say that anyone who
    performs it goes mad.
[08:47] ---
    What the--?! That's scary!
[08:48] ---
    But they also say that if
    you can play it perfectly,
[08:50] ---
    you'll be cleansed of your curse.
[08:53] ---
    Cleansed, huh?
[08:54] ---
    I hope that things will
    work out this time...
[08:56] ---
    So, how about it? Will you give it a try?
[08:58] ---
    I-I'll do it, so stop using your
    breasts to pressure me into it!
[09:09] ---
    While the music may be hard to read,
    it's certainly a lovely tune.
[09:13] ---
    But...
[09:17] ---
    ...who the heck is this guy?
[09:19] ---
    You can see me, can't you?
[09:21] ---
    Woah, he spoke to me.
[09:24] ---
    Are you McFarlane?
[09:27] ---
    Indeed, I am.
[09:28] ---
    No one will play this perfectly, so...
[09:30] ---
    ...I have become a ghost to watch
    over it even in death.
[09:34] ---
    Think you can do it?
[09:35] ---
    If you stick your head in my face
    like that, I'll mess up!
[09:38] ---
    Aw, jeez.
[09:39] ---
    I, like, totally shouldn't have put the
    music on black paper so it'd look cool.
[09:42] ---
    Like, even I totally
    have trouble reading it.
[09:44] ---
    You did it just so it'd look cool?
[09:47] ---
    Your Grace, are you all right?
[09:50] ---
    Don't tell me you've actually gone mad.
[09:52] ---
    No, of course I haven't!
[09:53] ---
    It's no use trying to explain it to her.
[09:55] ---
    You, the performer,
    are the only one who can see me.
[09:58] ---
    By the way, this chick is far out.
[10:00] ---
    What? Are you kids going steady?
[10:03] ---
    People back then used
    words that are so passé...
[10:05] ---
    Hehe, watch this.
[10:07] ---
    While I may be a ghost,
    I can do stuff like this, too.
[10:10] ---
    Whoosh!
[10:11] ---
    My, what a naughty gust of wind!
[10:14] ---
    Did you see that, Your Grace?
[10:15] ---
    No, I didn't! I didn't see anything!
[10:17] ---
    What do you think you're doing, McFarlane?
[10:20] ---
    Like, I haven't messed around
    with a girl in, like, centuries!
[10:23] ---
    Aren't I allowed to,
    like, have a little fun?
[10:25] ---
    Just concentrate on your performance!
[10:28] ---
    Then, let me!
[10:31] ---
    Oh yeah, now I'm gonna slip this
    strange strap off her shoulder like so!
[10:36] ---
    Oh, that naughty wind is at it again...
[10:39] ---
    Are you watching, Your Grace?
[10:40] ---
    It's okay, I'm not watching.
[10:42] ---
    Why aren't you watching?
[10:43] ---
    Why should I?
[10:44] ---
    Oh, no! What's to become of me?
    That naughty wind is...
[10:48] ---
    How many times is that naughty
    wind going to blow, anyway?
[10:50] ---
    Besides, it's you that's
    doing the stripping!
[10:52] ---
    I can't take it anymore!
[10:53] ---
    Hey baby, pucker up and gimme a kiss!
[10:56] ---
    No, anything but that!
[10:59] ---
    Please, knock it off.
[11:08] ---
    Her eyes looked so cold
    when she rejected me!
[11:10] ---
    Quit making me dodge you
    while I'm playing!
[11:12] ---
    You wouldn't happen to be one of
    those people who can see ghosts?
[11:15] ---
    No, I'm not.
[11:17] ---
    But you're talking to him!
[11:19] ---
    This leaves me but one objective.
[11:21] ---
    You must play this song
    perfectly to the end...
[11:24] ---
    ...or else I'll haunt you
    for the rest of your life!
[11:25] ---
    Don't be absurd!
[11:35] ---
    I must concentrate.
    Concentrate on playing...
[11:39] ---
    The piano is all I've got.
[11:41] ---
    Always has been, always will be.
[11:43] ---
    All I can do is play it.
[11:52] ---
    For my sake...
[11:54] ---
    And for the sake of Alice's
    and my future together!
[12:08] ---
    How do you like that, McFarlane?
    I played your song perfectly!
[12:12] ---
    Now I'll be cleansed of my curse.
[12:15] ---
    Whoa...
[12:18] ---
    What a splendid performance!
[12:23] ---
    Thank you, my friend.
[12:30] ---
    So, you were the curse I'm cleansed of?!
[12:39] ---
    Good morning, Alice.
[12:40] ---
    I woke up early, so I came to get you.
[12:42] ---
    Come to the mansion right away.
[12:45] ---
    Certainly.
    I'm on my way to the door.
[12:48] ---
    Oh, you've got some clothes on, right?
[12:50] ---
    I ask because you never wear
    anything while you're in your room...
[12:53] ---
    Don't worry.
[12:54] ---
    Good morning, Your Grace.
[12:56] ---
    Lingerie does not count as clothes!
[12:58] ---
    I put them on by mistake.
[13:00] ---
    You totally did that on purpose!
[13:02] ---
    Alice isn't startled at all when
    someone sees her bare skin.
[13:07] ---
    I wonder if she even sees me as a guy?
[13:10] ---
    Come to think of it,
    the other day, Viola...
[13:13] ---
    Yoo-hoo! Dearest Brother!
[13:15] ---
    You startled me!
    Oh, Viola, it's you...
[13:18] ---
    Oh, quit getting startled at every little
    thing. It's so annoying.
[13:21] ---
    Now, don't get your heart pounding
    and fall for me or anything.
[13:24] ---
    What are you going on about with
    such a sincere look in your eyes?
[13:27] ---
    You know about the suspension
    bridge effect, right?
[13:29] ---
    When they're with someone,
    people mistake the fear and anxiety...
[13:32] ---
    ...making their hearts pound
    as love for the other person!
[13:35] ---
    In other words, all I have to do
    is get Alice's heart pounding
[13:38] ---
    by startling and scaring her.
[13:40] ---
    This may be worth giving a try.
[13:43] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[13:45] ---
    Huh?
[13:46] ---
    Your Grace?
[13:51] ---
    Ta-da! I was in your blind spot!
[13:53] ---
    Oh, my!
[13:54] ---
    Were you startled?
[13:56] ---
    Yes, I was.
[13:58] ---
    This is going to be tough.
[14:02] ---
    A-And now we're getting
    to the really scary part...
[14:07] ---
    Th-The man turned his head
    and shouted, "I saw that."
[14:11] ---
    But he had no eyes or nose,
[14:13] ---
    just a mouth that was
    slit from ear to ear.
[14:15] ---
    Ooh, how scary is that?
[14:17] ---
    It gives me the chills
    just talking about it.
[14:19] ---
    That was scary.
[14:20] ---
    But when the narrator's scared...
[14:23] ---
    ...it loses half of its fear factor.
[14:25] ---
    Oh, really...
[14:26] ---
    I'm just no good at this.
[14:28] ---
    McFarlane didn't scare me at all, but...
[14:31] ---
    So, I give your story a score of 98.
[14:35] ---
    You've got to love her for being
    a super lenient grader.
[14:38] ---
    Oh, I finally found it!
[14:41] ---
    What a scary painting!
[14:42] ---
    Is that the right one?
[14:43] ---
    Huh?! Oh, not this one.
[14:46] ---
    That's strange.
[14:47] ---
    I could've sworn I had a painting of
    a woman shedding tears of blood...
[14:54] ---
    Is...
[14:55] ---
    ...this it?
[14:58] ---
    Yeah, that's the one.
[15:00] ---
    What's it doing hanging there?
[15:01] ---
    The other day, I took it down and put
    it in the rack because it's so creepy.
[15:05] ---
    How strange.
[15:06] ---
    That's all you've got to say?!
[15:07] ---
    Aren't you scared?!
[15:08] ---
    All right, I'm scared.
[15:09] ---
    What's with the "all right"?!
[15:10] ---
    Here I am totally scared, and you mean
    to tell me your heart isn't pounding?!
[15:14] ---
    But my heart is pounding.
[15:16] ---
    Why don't you put your ear against
    my chest and listen for yourself?
[15:19] ---
    Like I can do that!
[15:20] ---
    Come on, just think about it.
[15:22] ---
    The painting moved by itself!
    Isn't that scary?
[15:26] ---
    It certainly is.
[15:27] ---
    Aw, come on! Why won't you get scared?
[15:30] ---
    If your heart doesn't start pounding, you
    won't feel the suspension bridge effect!
[15:34] ---
    My heart really is pounding.
[15:37] ---
    Because I'm with you, Your Grace.
[15:39] ---
    She looks even cuter than usual.
[15:42] ---
    This may be the suspension
    bridge effect at work.
[15:45] ---
    But...
[15:47] ---
    ...how did this painting get here?
[15:50] ---
    Alice, didn't you hang that
    painting there yesterday
[15:52] ---
    because there was some
    extra space there?
[15:55] ---
    Shh! It's our secret.
[15:59] ---
    The more I look at it...
[16:02] ---
    ...the scarier it gets!
[16:04] ---
    Oh! Your Grace!
[16:05] ---
    Look out behind you!
[16:08] ---
    Oh...
[16:09] ---
    Darn it!
[16:10] ---
    No, don't touch it!
[16:12] ---
    That plant has been here from when this
    mansion was the family's main residence.
[16:15] ---
    It only flowers once every 50 years.
[16:17] ---
    It's extremely valuable.
[16:20] ---
    I'm so sorry!
[16:27] ---
    What are you doing in there, Your Grace?
[16:33] ---
    What you did back there
    was only an accident.
[16:36] ---
    Still, I'd prefer not to face Rob
    until he calms down.
[16:40] ---
    Anyway, shut the door.
[16:41] ---
    I don't want to be found just yet.
[16:43] ---
    Very well.
[16:44] ---
    Why'd you come in here?!
[16:46] ---
    Well, you asked me to shut the door...
[16:48] ---
    What is Rob like when he gets angry?
[16:51] ---
    He's pretty scary.
[16:52] ---
    He doesn't chew you out or anything,
[16:54] ---
    but he won't forgive you until
    you've reflected on your actions.
[16:57] ---
    I'd kind of like to see that.
[17:00] ---
    You on the receiving end of
    his anger, that is, Your Grace.
[17:02] ---
    Huh?!
[17:03] ---
    Your Grace?
[17:04] ---
    Are you in here?
[17:06] ---
    It's Rob.
[17:07] ---
    I'll protect you.
[17:14] ---
    Whew! I was really freaked out
    for a minute there.
[17:17] ---
    You know, it's not safe for you
    to get that close to me.
[17:20] ---
    I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking...
[17:22] ---
    So, where will you hide next?
[17:24] ---
    This is starting to get fun!
[17:26] ---
    This is a huge mansion.
[17:27] ---
    There are lots of places to hide.
[17:30] ---
    But Rob knows this place inside out.
    Where can I hide and not be found?
[17:34] ---
    How about under here?
[17:35] ---
    Oh, yeah, what a great choice.
    It's so romantic...
[17:38] ---
    Quit fooling around, would you?!
[17:39] ---
    I've been looking for you, Your Grace.
[17:43] ---
    I wanted to speak with you
    about the flowerpot.
[17:46] ---
    Uh, um...
[17:49] ---
    I-I'm Alice.
[17:51] ---
    I pride myself on being able to wake up
    after exactly seven hours of sleep.
[17:53] ---
    Oh, it's you, Alice.
[17:55] ---
    Pardon me.
[17:57] ---
    How senile can you get?
[18:00] ---
    That was a pretty good impression of me.
[18:02] ---
    Th-Thanks...
[18:06] ---
    So...
[18:08] ---
    ...we wound up hiding underneath my bed.
[18:11] ---
    This is a surprisingly good hiding place,
    if somewhat ordinary.
[18:16] ---
    I wanted to be in a dark,
    cramped space with you, Your Grace.
[18:19] ---
    Oh, so for you, hiding from Rob
    isn't the objective anymore, huh?
[18:22] ---
    Did you know, Your Grace?
[18:24] ---
    Hide-and-seek was originally
    a game for adults.
[18:28] ---
    You've gotta be kidding...
[18:29] ---
    Wait, really?
[18:31] ---
    Are you looking forward to
    becoming an adult, Your Grace?
[18:35] ---
    Um, more or less.
[18:37] ---
    I want to get to know
    the pleasures of alcohol.
[18:39] ---
    It'd be wonderful to have dinner and
    drinks with someone like you every night.
[18:44] ---
    My heart's really pounding now.
[18:46] ---
    Could this be the suspension
    bridge effect at work?
[18:57] ---
    I'm sorry to interrupt you, but...
[19:00] ---
    Rob?!
[19:03] ---
    What's all this?
[19:04] ---
    I found them among the shards of the
    flowerpot you broke, Your Grace.
[19:08] ---
    I believe they had been stolen from the
    lady and senior lady of the house.
[19:12] ---
    From Mother and Grandmother?
[19:14] ---
    Back when this mansion was still
    the family's main residence,
[19:17] ---
    we had an incident involving a servant
    who stole some of the family's valuables.
[19:20] ---
    The thief must have hidden the stolen
    items inside the flowerpot temporarily,
[19:24] ---
    and was never able to retrieve them.
[19:26] ---
    Anyhow, I'm so glad you found them.
[19:29] ---
    I'm sure the lady of the house
    will be very pleased.
[19:32] ---
    You were great, Your Grace.
    Just like a master detective.
[19:34] ---
    Well...
[19:35] ---
    I didn't really
    do anything, though...
[19:38] ---
    Oh, and I'm going to have a nice,
    long chat with you later on...
[19:40] ---
    ...regarding the flowerpot you broke.
[19:43] ---
    Guess I'm going to get
    a talking-to after all...
[21:22] ---
    Where am I?
[21:25] ---
    Are you awake, Your Grace?
[21:27] ---
    Alice!
[21:28] ---
    Where the heck are we?
[21:30] ---
    This is a dream.
[21:32] ---
    A dream?
[21:33] ---
    Don't you remember?
[21:36] ---
    A moment ago, we were looking
    through old books in the library,
[21:39] ---
    trying to find some way
    to break your curse.
[21:42] ---
    And the second we opened
    one of the books...
[21:46] ---
    Bring me the white rabbit
    that carries a pocket watch.
[21:49] ---
    As a token of my appreciation,
    I shall grant you a wish.
[21:51] ---
    After that, I lost consciousness,
    and the next thing I knew, I was here.
[21:55] ---
    Our real selves are probably
    asleep in the library.
[22:00] ---
    I see.
[22:01] ---
    So, if we catch that white rabbit
    and give it to the girl, then...
[22:04] ---
    Yes. This time we may finally be able
    to break your curse, Your Grace.
[22:09] ---
    Plus...
[22:10] ---
    Alice?!
[22:11] ---
    This is a dream, so it's all right.
[22:14] ---
    See?
[22:15] ---
    Oh, you're right. I can't feel a thing.
[22:20] ---
    Why'd you put my hand to your breast
    when I can't enjoy how it feels?
[22:22] ---
    I couldn't feel anything! Anything at all!
[22:26] ---
    Hey, a rabbit just...
[22:27] ---
    Huh?
[22:31] ---
    Let's go after it, Your Grace.
[22:32] ---
    Um, okay...
[23:02] ---
    We were having so much fun
    that we got totally carried away.
[23:05] ---
    That's one of our bad habits.
[23:07] ---
    It'll be seven hours
    since we arrived here.
[23:09] ---
    We should be waking up soon.
[23:12] ---
    Oh, right. Exactly seven hours of sleep...
[23:15] ---
    Since we've got this rare opportunity,
    shall we end it with a kiss?
[23:19] ---
    Huh?! Well yeah, this is a dream
    and all, so we could, but...
[23:23] ---
    Kiss me, please.
[23:25] ---
    Alice...
[23:31] ---
    This time...
[23:34] ---
    ...I won't back out.
[23:37] ---
    Jeez, you guys are totally useless!
[23:40] ---
    You go all lovey-dovey on me and can't
    even be bothered to look for the rabbit!
[23:45] ---
    Don't you ever summon me again, egghead!
[23:47] ---
    And drop dead while you're at it!
[23:52] ---
    I wonder if I can pick the
    dream up where I left off...

    It's giving me a headache.
[02:41] ---
    You've only just started, so...
[02:43] ---
    Yeah, we're here to give you our support.
[02:45] ---
    Sorry. I want to learn to read
    and write as quickly as possible
[02:49] ---
    so I can surprise Zain.
[02:51] ---
    That's amazing, Cuff!
[02:53] ---
    You're so smart!
[02:55] ---
    Speaking of Zain, where is he today?
[02:58] ---
    He's at the circus.
[02:59] ---
    You sold him to the circus?!
[03:01] ---
    Since we've got nothing better to do,
    both of us have started working there.
[03:05] ---
    At the circus, our looks don't matter.
    No one will suspect we're witches.
[03:08] ---
    What do you think of that?
    Zain's pretty smart, huh?
[03:10] ---
    Um, well...
[03:12] ---
    As usual, Cuff thinks
    pretty highly of Zain...
[03:16] ---
    Anyway, it's important to learn your ABCs.
[03:19] ---
    So, be sure and study hard, Ms. Cuff.
[03:22] ---
    Okay, I'm counting on you, Teach!
[03:24] ---
    By the way, what does the
    "Ms." in "Ms. Cuff" mean?
[03:27] ---
    I'm not quite sure.
    I just thought it has a nice ring to it.
[03:30] ---
    So, he fudges the answer there...
[03:38] ---
    Good morning, Lord Walter.
[03:42] ---
    Good morning.
[03:45] ---
    Lookin' cool.
[03:47] ---
    You're a regular teen idol.
[03:50] ---
    Viola, you aren't thinking of running
    off somewhere again, are you?
[03:53] ---
    It's almost time for lunch.
[03:55] ---
    Try to appreciate the trouble I have
    to go through placating Mother.
[03:58] ---
    I can't help it.
    I've got things to do.
[04:01] ---
    Don't tell me you're going to the villa
    where our cursed brother lives.
[04:07] ---
    It's none of your business, Dear Brother.
[04:09] ---
    It is too my business.
[04:10] ---
    I shall soon be in the position
    of inheriting the family title.
[04:13] ---
    It's my duty as head of the family to know
    what my younger sister is thinking.
[04:17] ---
    But you're the secondborn son.
[04:19] ---
    If our brother can break his curse, then
    naturally he'll be head of the family.
[04:23] ---
    Because he's the firstborn son.
[04:25] ---
    How can you be so cruel and say
    the words that upset me the most!
[04:30] ---
    You're overreacting.
[04:31] ---
    All I said was that you're
    the secondborn son.
[04:32] ---
    There, you said it again!
[04:34] ---
    You said it again!
[04:36] ---
    To begin with, I never have liked him.
[04:40] ---
    The only thing that he's got going for him
    is that he was born slightly ahead of me.
[04:43] ---
    I wonder how much longer Mother
    is going to pin her hopes on him...
[04:46] ---
    ...when no one knows when
    he'll be able to break his curse.
[04:49] ---
    Hey, can I leave as soon
    as I've finished my tea?
[04:51] ---
    I haven't got a second--
[04:52] ---
    Secondborn son?!
[04:53] ---
    You want to remind me I'm
    the secondborn son again?! Huh?!
[04:55] ---
    Jeez, he's such a pain in the neck!
[04:58] ---
    All right, fair enough.
[05:00] ---
    So, how long does it take
    to get to the villa from here?
[05:02] ---
    Hmm, about two hours, I guess.
[05:06] ---
    You tripped up there, Viola!
[05:07] ---
    You were planning on going
    to the villa, after all!
[05:10] ---
    But the "two" in "two hours"...
[05:12] ---
    ...reminds me of being the
    secondborn son, and I can't stand it!
[05:16] ---
    It was the death of him.
[05:17] ---
    Why?
[05:19] ---
    Why are you going to see him?
[05:21] ---
    Why do you have a soft spot for him?
[05:23] ---
    Why not me?
[05:25] ---
    Don't you think I'd make a better
    head of the family than he would?
[05:28] ---
    You're acting way too desperate,
    and it scares me.
[05:30] ---
    I'm not particularly planning
    on taking his side or yours.
[05:33] ---
    Don't say that! Pick me!
[05:39] ---
    Anyway, I'm going now.
[05:42] ---
    Don't tell Mother I've
    been going to the villa.
[05:45] ---
    Well, I can't make you any promises.
[05:47] ---
    You're only the secondborn son,
    after all...
[05:55] ---
    Forgive me for being late.
[05:57] ---
    Viola said she's going
    to a friend's house.
[06:00] ---
    I see.
[06:01] ---
    One of these days, I'll show you.
[06:04] ---
    That I'm better than him.
[06:07] ---
    And that I'm worthy of being
    the head of this family.
[06:11] ---
    Yoo-hoo!
[06:12] ---
    Dearest Brother!
[06:13] ---
    Little Miss Viola's here!
[06:19] ---
    And who might you be?
[06:20] ---
    I'm Cuff.
[06:21] ---
    I'm a circus performer.
[06:23] ---
    A circus performer?
[06:25] ---
    Where are the people that live here?
[06:26] ---
    I have no idea. You might as
    well make yourself at home.
[06:28] ---
    Uh-oh, there's something
    fishy about her.
[06:30] ---
    Did she come in unannounced?
[06:32] ---
    Well, technically I did too, so...
[06:33] ---
    This looks like Zain.
[06:35] ---
    A shiny, gold Zain.
[06:38] ---
    She's smiling.
[06:39] ---
    Maybe she's a burglar?
[06:41] ---
    If she is, then I've got
    to do something...
[06:44] ---
    And if I do, then Rob might reward me
    by stroking my hair or something!
[06:49] ---
    I'm up against just one girl.
[06:50] ---
    With a Viola tackle, even I could...
[06:53] ---
    Hai-yahh!
[06:58] ---
    Hers are big and soft, too!
[07:01] ---
    What are you talking about?
[07:03] ---
    Mother is as flat as a board,
[07:05] ---
    so I probably will be, too...
[07:08] ---
    She attacked me, and she's
    the one taking damage?
[07:11] ---
    She's just a child.
    She probably wants to play.
[07:18] ---
    Come on, don't cry. Can you stand up?
[07:20] ---
    Here's my chance!
[07:22] ---
    I've got you now!
[07:26] ---
    Knock it off! Let go of me!
[07:29] ---
    No way!
[07:29] ---
    There, there. What an adorable child!
[07:30] ---
    Absolutely not!
[07:31] ---
    Absolutely, positively not!
[07:37] ---
    Now, I'd rather not do this, but I'm going
    to just sit here so you can't move.
[07:43] ---
    Okay. You mind if I go to sleep?
[07:45] ---
    How can you act so relaxed?!
[07:47] ---
    A little while ago you shouted out,
    "Dearest Brother," or something.
[07:50] ---
    Uh, uh-huh. What about it?
[07:51] ---
    You and your brother are a lot alike.
[07:54] ---
    What?!
[07:55] ---
    Wait a sec, you know my brother?
[07:58] ---
    Don't lump me together
    with a Gloomy Gus like him!
[08:00] ---
    But he's a good guy.
[08:02] ---
    Um, well, I guess he is... a little.
[08:07] ---
    Do you like him?
[08:11] ---
    Huh? Uh, well, um...
[08:14] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting, Cuff.
[08:16] ---
    It took us longer than we
    thought to catch the cat...
[08:18] ---
    R-R-R-Rob?
[08:21] ---
    Viola, I see you're here, too...
[08:23] ---
    Sorry, we'll come back later.
[08:25] ---
    No! This is not what you think! Rob!
[08:29] ---
    I simply can't marry anyone but Rob!
[08:33] ---
    What the heck are you going on about?
[08:37] ---
    I had you pegged as a burglar,
[08:39] ---
    but it turns out you're
    a friend of my brother's.
[08:42] ---
    I didn't know Gloomy Guses had friends.
[08:46] ---
    Hey, no skin off my back.
    They were the words of a child, after all.
[08:48] ---
    I am not a child!
[08:50] ---
    I'm a respectable lady!
[08:52] ---
    Hmm?
[08:54] ---
    Lady Viola,
[08:55] ---
    excuse me for a second.
[08:58] ---
    A speck of dust was ruining
    your otherwise beautiful hair.
[09:01] ---
    Th-Thanks, Rob.
[09:08] ---
    My wish came true!
[09:10] ---
    Lady Viola's such a charming girl.
[09:14] ---
    Sometimes I get the feeling
    you do these things on purpose...
[09:27] ---
    It's snowing pretty heavily.
[09:29] ---
    Well, we did have a lot
    of clear days lately.
[09:32] ---
    I'm glad for nights like these. It's easy
    for me to invite you to a cup of tea.
[09:39] ---
    I'm just a beginner, so go
    easy on me, please.
[09:42] ---
    And you aren't allowed to use
    your feminine wiles on me!
[09:50] ---
    Look out, Alice.
[09:51] ---
    If you take your eyes off the board,
    I might just move the pieces around.
[09:54] ---
    All right.
[09:56] ---
    If I lose, I'll strip like we promised.
[09:59] ---
    We never made any promises like that! And
    besides, you've already started stripping!
[10:04] ---
    On snowstormy nights,
[10:07] ---
    I remember the time I first arrived here.
[10:36] ---
    I'm coming in, Your Grace.
[10:39] ---
    I see you've made a mess
    of your room again.
[10:42] ---
    And you haven't even
    turned on the lights...
[10:44] ---
    I don't want to hear any of your lectures.
[10:46] ---
    If you're through, then leave me at once.
[10:49] ---
    Today I brought someone
    I'd like you to meet, Your Grace.
[10:53] ---
    Please, come in.
[10:56] ---
    It's been ages since I last saw you.
[10:57] ---
    I'm Alice Lendrott. I shall work here
    as your maid starting today.
[11:03] ---
    "I-It's been ages"...?
[11:05] ---
    Who are you?!
    I don't know the likes of you!
[11:08] ---
    Rob! Who told you that
    you could hire a maid?
[11:11] ---
    I have the permission of
    the lady of the house.
[11:13] ---
    And I believe you and Alice were good
    friends when you were little, Your Grace.
[11:19] ---
    Oh, I have no recollection of that.
[11:23] ---
    I hate my childhood days!
    I don't want to be reminded of them!
[11:29] ---
    Go home at once.
[11:31] ---
    There's no place for you in this mansion.
[11:36] ---
    I have never forgotten you, Your Grace.
    Not even for a single day.
[11:42] ---
    After my mother died,
    I was left in my aunt's care.
[11:47] ---
    Being able to meet you again in this
    way... It's a dream come true, Your Grace.
[11:50] ---
    Don't come near me.
[11:51] ---
    If I touch you, I'll kill you.
[11:52] ---
    I'm aware of that.
[11:54] ---
    A-Anyway, I won't allow you to work here.
[11:58] ---
    Go back to your aunt's home
    or wherever you came from!
[12:01] ---
    Well, now that we have His Grace's
    blessing, let's pick out your room, Alice.
[12:06] ---
    I haven't given you my blessing!
[12:08] ---
    You sure have some selective hearing!
[12:13] ---
    You may have a grown-up body,
[12:15] ---
    but your eyes haven't changed a bit.
[12:17] ---
    They still have that
    gentle look, Your Grace.
[12:25] ---
    Who the heck does she think she is?
[12:33] ---
    Just leave me alone. I'm begging you.
[12:37] ---
    I'll die alone and on my own.
[12:42] ---
    Hmm?
[12:47] ---
    Are you sure you'd like to stay in there?
[12:50] ---
    It's an old storage shed
    in need of repair.
[12:54] ---
    Yes, I feel more comfortable
    in cramped quarters.
[12:58] ---
    You must have been
    quite shocked back there.
[13:00] ---
    He's an adolescent boy, you see,
    and lately he acts like that all the time.
[13:04] ---
    Well, it doesn't bother me at all.
[13:06] ---
    Well, that's a relief.
[13:08] ---
    Let me say again,
    it's a pleasure to have you here.
[13:11] ---
    The pleasure is mine.
[13:12] ---
    I'll work as hard as I can.
[13:15] ---
    Well, I must say you really do
    take after your mother, Alice.
[13:20] ---
    People often tell me that.
[13:24] ---
    Hey! You're still here?!
[13:27] ---
    What's with the mourning dress...
[13:31] ---
    Don't tell me that's your maid uniform!
[13:32] ---
    Yes, it is.
[13:33] ---
    Your Grace, that hat...
[13:35] ---
    ...looks really good on you.
[13:37] ---
    Th-This old thing? It was just lying
    around, so I decided to put it on.
[13:41] ---
    But that's beside the point!
[13:43] ---
    That maid uniform is too showy!
    It's grounds for immediate dismissal!
[13:47] ---
    Is it really too showy?
[13:50] ---
    Around the bust, perhaps?
[13:53] ---
    As in, you can't get them off your mind,
    and you want to give them a touch?
[13:56] ---
    Yesterday you told me you knew
    about my curse, didn't you?
[14:00] ---
    Of course I know about it.
[14:01] ---
    If so, then why?
[14:02] ---
    Who the heck do you think you are?
[14:04] ---
    I'm Alice.
[14:06] ---
    I didn't ask you to tell me your name.
[14:09] ---
    I hate you!
[14:11] ---
    I hate you so much!
[14:14] ---
    Don't follow me!
[14:25] ---
    It's pointless playing the piano now...
[14:28] ---
    So, this is where you've been, Your Grace.
[14:32] ---
    I've brought you your dinner.
[14:34] ---
    Won't you try eating just a little bit?
[14:37] ---
    I-I don't want any.
[14:38] ---
    I told you, didn't I? I'm not going to eat
    anything until you leave this place.
[14:42] ---
    Do you not like me?
[14:45] ---
    No, I don't!
[14:46] ---
    I bet you're laughing
    at me inside your mind.
[14:49] ---
    Because I'm an ugly grouch
    and cursed on top of that.
[14:53] ---
    I'm a person who's better off dead.
[14:56] ---
    You say you want to be of some use to me.
[14:59] ---
    But you're actually an egotist
    who only wants to glorify herself.
[15:04] ---
    Your words are so poetic, Your Grace.
[15:09] ---
    At any rate, I'll leave your dinner here,
    so you can eat it if you feel like it.
[15:21] ---
    I see you're also wearing gloves today.
[15:23] ---
    They look very nice on you.
[15:31] ---
    After your aunt took you in...
[15:35] ---
    ...you went through a great deal
    of hardship. I suspected as much.
[15:38] ---
    I had my share of hardship.
[15:39] ---
    It's not as though my
    aunt's family was well off.
[15:43] ---
    But compared to His Grace,
    my life's been...
[15:47] ---
    Alice! Could you come
    with me for a minute?
[15:50] ---
    What's with that look on your face?
[15:52] ---
    It's just that I was glad to hear
    you call me by my name.
[15:56] ---
    Huh?! A-Anyway, come with me!
[16:04] ---
    My, what a lovely room!
[16:07] ---
    Are you being sarcastic?
[16:08] ---
    I want you to clean this up in three days.
[16:11] ---
    If you can't, then you're fired.
[16:14] ---
    And don't ask Rob for any help, either.
[16:16] ---
    So, it's settled then.
[16:18] ---
    Good luck.
[16:22] ---
    I'll do my best!
[16:34] ---
    Give me your hand.
[16:36] ---
    I'll take you to your room.
[16:38] ---
    You get sick a lot, don't you?
[16:41] ---
    You shouldn't be going outside then.
[16:47] ---
    Your hand's so warm!
[17:00] ---
    Wow!
[17:02] ---
    How's this?
[17:05] ---
    Don't tell me you did
    all this in one night?!
[17:08] ---
    Yes, I did.
[17:09] ---
    Thinking that I could be of use to
    you really fired me up, Your Grace.
[17:18] ---
    When I told you to leave, I did it
    for your own good as well.
[17:23] ---
    There must something more
    meaningful for you to do...
[17:26] ---
    ...than taking care of a wretch like me.
[17:32] ---
    I have nowhere else to go, Your Grace,
    and I'd like to be by your side.
[17:40] ---
    Do you still not want
    to remember who I am?
[17:45] ---
    I'll wait until you remember
    me, Your Grace.
[17:50] ---
    Suit yourself.
[17:56] ---
    How long are you going to sit there?
[17:58] ---
    Until your tears subside, Your Grace.
[18:10] ---
    It's gotten chilly in here.
[18:13] ---
    Shall I make us some more tea?
[18:15] ---
    No, that's all right.
[18:16] ---
    I'd rather you stay here...
[18:18] ---
    You're not leaving,
[18:20] ---
    so I'm leaving!
[18:29] ---
    I'm cold to the touch.
[18:31] ---
    My feet ache so much.
[18:33] ---
    I don't know which way
    the mansion is anymore.
[18:37] ---
    This is so hard.
[18:38] ---
    I'm sad,
[18:40] ---
    lonely, and miserable.
[18:44] ---
    "No one shall love you,
    and you shall love no one."
[18:49] ---
    "You shall live a life of misery."
[18:53] ---
    Are you happy now, witch?
[18:56] ---
    This is all your fault.
[18:59] ---
    I wish...
[19:01] ---
    ...I had the chance to love someone.
[19:12] ---
    I thought I was a goner there.
[19:15] ---
    Well, maybe I should just die.
[19:20] ---
    Just resign myself...
[19:23] ---
    ...to my fate.
[19:26] ---
    Ever since I was cursed,
    I've lived an unhappy joke of a life.
[19:31] ---
    I yearned for even a single friend.
[19:34] ---
    Is that asking too much?
[19:38] ---
    I remember now.
    That girl's name was Alice, too.
[19:43] ---
    Yeah, that's right, that's right!
[19:46] ---
    I'd hoped I could see her once again...
[19:50] ---
    ...but I'd forgotten about her.
[19:54] ---
    To think I'd remember her now, when I'm
    about to die and can no longer see her.
[20:03] ---
    Alice...
[20:11] ---
    Your Grace?
[20:15] ---
    Alice?!
[20:19] ---
    I-I've already made up my mind.
    I'm going to die.
[20:22] ---
    Just leave me be!
[20:23] ---
    First off, you can't mind
    your own business--
[20:26] ---
    Hey, what are you--?!
[20:27] ---
    Why? Why are you throwing your life away?
[20:32] ---
    Why don't you cool off a bit?
[20:33] ---
    Uh, wait a-- Hey!
[20:36] ---
    You've got a right
    to be happy, Your Grace!
[20:38] ---
    I don't care whether you're cursed or not.
[20:41] ---
    I'd hate to see you give up along the way.
[20:44] ---
    And please consider the feelings
    of those you would leave behind!
[20:50] ---
    You know, there are people
    who care about you!
[20:54] ---
    I was a lonely, sickly child
    when I was little.
[20:59] ---
    Every day I felt like my anxiety and
    hopelessness would overwhelm me.
[21:03] ---
    Then you came along, Your Grace,
    and saved me with your kindness.
[21:09] ---
    I have lived to this very day,
    and I have you to thank for it.
[21:13] ---
    Please grab onto this,
    and I'll help you up.
[21:16] ---
    Take your time, now.
[21:22] ---
    Let's head on back. And...
[21:24] ---
    ...let's keep on living. Together.
[21:28] ---
    Forever.
[21:40] ---
    Good heavens, I'm so glad you're safe!
[21:45] ---
    Alice rescued me.
[21:48] ---
    And I'm sorry I made you worry, Rob.
[21:50] ---
    Not at all.
[21:52] ---
    So, are the two of you getting along now?
[21:56] ---
    Well...
[22:01] ---
    ...I think...
[22:02] ---
    Come again?
[22:04] ---
    About Alice...
[22:07] ---
    ...I like her, I think...
[22:09] ---
    Checkmate.
[22:10] ---
    Huh?!
[22:11] ---
    How did that happen?!
[22:12] ---
    To be perfectly honest, Your Grace,
    since you weren't paying attention,
[22:16] ---
    I moved the pieces around a bit.
[22:18] ---
    It's not fair.
[22:20] ---
    You're so adorable, and it's not fair.
[22:22] ---
    It's impossible not to like you.
[22:24] ---
    What are you talking about?
[22:27] ---
    It's not fair.

[00:26] ---
    Can you imagine...
[00:29] ---
    ...a life in which you could
    never touch the one you love?
[00:34] ---
    He takes the life of whatever he touches.
[00:36] ---
    That was the curse the witch put on him.
[00:39] ---
    His own mother has
    distanced herself from him.
[00:41] ---
    His friends have called him a monster.
[00:44] ---
    Even strangers have spoken of him as the
    Death incarnate that dwells in the forest.
[00:49] ---
    And yet,
[00:51] ---
    he doesn't feel the least bit lonely.
[00:55] ---
    I'd like to give a gift to Rob.
[00:58] ---
    Do you have any good ideas?
[01:00] ---
    Hmm...
[01:01] ---
    How about reading glasses?
[01:02] ---
    Nuh-uh, no way, no way.
[01:04] ---
    Glasses are out of the question.
[01:06] ---
    I want us to be able to look
[01:07] ---
    directly into each other's eyes,
    not through a pair of lenses.
[01:10] ---
    Well then, what about a handkerchief?
[01:12] ---
    Great idea! Thanks, Alice!
[01:15] ---
    She's a romantic.
    Just like you, Your Grace.
[02:54] ---
    Today's Christmas Eve, huh...
SIGN    Episode 9: The Duke, Alice,
    and the Christmas Eve Vow
[02:57] ---
    So, that's why I got word from Viola
    ahead of time that she'll be here today.
[03:01] ---
    And why she's giving Rob a gift.
[03:04] ---
    Lady Viola's such a brave girl.
[03:06] ---
    But I'm a little disappointed that
    we can't spend Christmas Eve
[03:10] ---
    alone together, Your Grace.
[03:13] ---
    I'm just going to go lock all of
    the doors to the mansion real quick!
[03:15] ---
    Please, come back! I was only kidding!
[03:18] ---
    Cuff and Zain are also planning
    on dropping by later on.
[03:22] ---
    Looks like we'll be having
    a Christmas party tonight.
[03:25] ---
    Oh? A party, huh?
[03:27] ---
    You think it's okay for me to take part
    in such a normal human activity?
[03:32] ---
    Well, you always have been
    a human, you know.
[03:35] ---
    But we're talking about
    a Christmas party here.
[03:37] ---
    And here I am wearing
    the same old hat and clothes.
[03:40] ---
    Your outfit's just fine the way it is.
[03:43] ---
    Though I decided to put on
    my best pair just in case.
[03:46] ---
    Of underwear, that is.
[03:47] ---
    Huh?! What's with the see-through...
[03:50] ---
    Yoo-hoo!
[03:51] ---
    Merry Xmas, Mother.
[03:54] ---
    It seems you've been
    going out a lot lately.
[03:56] ---
    Yes, well, I've had things to do.
[03:58] ---
    I don't know where
    you've been going exactly,
[04:01] ---
    but Christmas is a time
    to be spent with family.
[04:04] ---
    Stay home today.
[04:06] ---
    Yes, Mother.
[04:09] ---
    And another thing...
[04:11] ---
    How much longer do you intend
    to wear such childish attire?
[04:20] ---
    I'm sorry, Mother.
[04:28] ---
    Get everything ready for
    my departure as planned.
[04:30] ---
    But the lady of the house
    told you not to...
[04:32] ---
    It's okay as long as I spend
    the time with family, right?
[04:35] ---
    And I don't need you guys
    tagging along, either.
[04:38] ---
    I'll be fine as long as I have my driver.
[04:42] ---
    She's going to see Rob.
[04:46] ---
    It's Christmas, and she's planning on
    going to that creep's place again?
[04:50] ---
    Making a two-hour special trip...
[04:52] ---
    Two... Two!
[04:55] ---
    Oh, dear! His secondborn son
    complex is acting up again!
[04:57] ---
    What a strong core he's got!
[05:02] ---
    You call it a party,
[05:05] ---
    but we don't even have a tree,
[05:07] ---
    nor anything else to put us
    in the Christmas spirit.
[05:09] ---
    You're right.
[05:10] ---
    It would be nice if we had
    a Santa Claus, at least...
[05:14] ---
    Santa, huh?
[05:17] ---
    Your Grace?
[05:19] ---
    Your Grace?
[05:22] ---
    Your Grace?
[05:24] ---
    Your Grace?
[05:29] ---
    Mwah!
[05:30] ---
    Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!
[05:35] ---
    What do you see in there?
[05:37] ---
    It may not be very Christmassy, but
    I'll try to serve the best meal I can.
[05:43] ---
    I think we'll have a jolly old time.
[05:45] ---
    Yeah, I'm really glad.
[05:56] ---
    I got Rob a nice handkerchief
    that I think will suit him well.
[06:00] ---
    I hope I can work up
    the nerve to give it to him.
[06:05] ---
    Lord Walter, it is really all right for
    me to let you drive the carriage?
[06:10] ---
    This is the perfect opportunity to find
    out how that accursed firstborn is doing.
[06:14] ---
    It appears Viola doesn't suspect a thing.
[06:17] ---
    Just you wait, you miserable
    excuse for an older brother.
[06:20] ---
    The one who'll inherit the family title...
[06:23] ---
    ...is me!
[06:27] ---
    I just felt a shiver go down my spine.
[06:29] ---
    Oh, my! That's awful!
[06:31] ---
    Shall we warm each other
    with our body heat?
[06:32] ---
    I can't!
[06:36] ---
    We're coming in!
[06:37] ---
    Merry Xmas!
[06:38] ---
    Welcome, Cuff and Zain!
[06:41] ---
    Hey, Alice, long time no see!
[06:43] ---
    I see your boobs are as big as ever.
[06:47] ---
    We brought you something.
[06:48] ---
    Why, it's a Christmas tree!
[06:50] ---
    Thank you.
[06:52] ---
    We were just thinking about what
    we were going to do for a tree.
[06:55] ---
    Let's deck the halls so fancy
    that it'll knock Santa's boots off!
[06:59] ---
    Wait, Santa?
[07:00] ---
    Huh?
[07:01] ---
    This may be the year
    I'll actually get to see him!
[07:05] ---
    I guess there are even
    witches who believe he exists.
[07:08] ---
    Okay, why don't you help me
    decorate the tree, Alice?
[07:12] ---
    Certainly.
[07:12] ---
    Ooh-ooh! If Alice is helping, then I want to, too!
[07:14] ---
    Nope, Zain.
[07:14] ---
    No way, Zain.
[07:16] ---
    Did you guys really have
    to be so emphatic about it?
[07:20] ---
    Well, this place is so drab.
[07:22] ---
    Let's leave the tree to the ladies
    and decorate the room instead,
[07:26] ---
    Thigh Guy!
[07:27] ---
    Heck yeah!
[07:29] ---
    Thigh Guy?!
[07:38] ---
    Hmm...
[07:41] ---
    I guesstimate she's a J.
[07:42] ---
    Hey, watch it!
[07:43] ---
    Changing the subject,
[07:45] ---
    don't you think it's kind of hard for two
    people to decorate the whole room?
[07:47] ---
    It'd be better if the four of us did it.
[07:49] ---
    Comin' through...
[07:50] ---
    Are you telling me you'd make
    the ladies do that hard work?
[07:53] ---
    Huh? Yeah, I see your point.
[07:55] ---
    You're actually saying
    something decent for once...
[07:58] ---
    Aw, cut me some slack!
[07:59] ---
    Besides whenever you ask
    Cuff to do anything hard,
[08:02] ---
    it only makes more work for you.
[08:04] ---
    This is impossible!
[08:06] ---
    You see, she can't do much of anything.
[08:09] ---
    The only thing she's got
    going for her is that she's cute.
[08:11] ---
    Oh, so you acknowledge that.
[08:13] ---
    What the heck is this?
[08:14] ---
    And she can't tell a lie,
    and she's got a big heart.
[08:19] ---
    And she's kind of sexy...
[08:20] ---
    Enough already!
[08:21] ---
    Why don't you tell her how you feel?
[08:22] ---
    I couldn't do that.
[08:25] ---
    For better or worse,
[08:26] ---
    she's been that way since she was a kid.
[08:30] ---
    Thanks for being Cuff's friend and all...
[08:33] ---
    Huh? Well, I'm the one who
    should be thanking you guys...
[08:36] ---
    But enough about that.
    Let's play some pranks...
[08:39] ---
    ...on Alice!
[08:40] ---
    Absolutely not!
[08:41] ---
    For example, and I'm just
    throwing this out there,
[08:44] ---
    what if this shiny ribbon here just
    happened to get wrapped around Alice?
[08:51] ---
    Don't you think it would
    look totally sexy and cute?
[08:58] ---
    Wow, I wonder how that got there!
[09:02] ---
    I know, right?
[09:03] ---
    Or, what if this were the only thing that
    just happened to adorn her naked body?
[09:12] ---
    I guess she heard me.
[09:14] ---
    You never learn, do you?
[09:20] ---
    It's all done.
[09:21] ---
    Hey, Zain! Wake up! Wake up!
[09:25] ---
    Zain, come take a look!
[09:28] ---
    I've got Alice to thank for doing most of
    the work, but I also helped out a little!
[09:31] ---
    Hey, nice work there.
[09:33] ---
    So, what do you think?
[09:35] ---
    There isn't anything as pretty as this
    in all the witches' world, is there?
[09:39] ---
    Why don't you tell her how you feel?
[09:51] ---
    It sure is pretty.
[09:53] ---
    A-And so are you, Cuff...
[10:00] ---
    Huh?
[10:01] ---
    Zzz!
[10:03] ---
    She's asleep standing up?!
[10:04] ---
    Just a moment ago she said
    she was going to take a nap
[10:06] ---
    because Santa would be coming
    in the middle of the night.
[10:09] ---
    What the--?!
[10:10] ---
    She picked the absolute
    worst time to do it!
[10:13] ---
    I'll find her a more
    suitable place to sleep.
[10:15] ---
    Up you go! There you are.
[10:17] ---
    That's some rough handling there...
[10:18] ---
    It's all right.
[10:21] ---
    I shouldn't have done something
    that was out of my depth.
[10:24] ---
    I'll make us some tea.
[10:26] ---
    Thanks, Alice!
[10:28] ---
    Oh, I wish I could live a life
    as easygoing as Cuff's.
[10:31] ---
    Your life seems pretty easygoing to me.
[10:35] ---
    You think?
[10:42] ---
    Even Walter's not here...
[10:52] ---
    I'm here!
[10:55] ---
    She's in an awfully big hurry.
[10:57] ---
    Does she want to see that
    infernal firstborn that bad?
[10:59] ---
    What's that?
[11:01] ---
    Viola must have dropped it.
[11:04] ---
    Don't tell me it's for him!
[11:07] ---
    Darn you, firstborn!
[11:12] ---
    This is just what I expected the home
    of a Death incarnate to be like.
[11:15] ---
    It's Christmas...
[11:16] ---
    ...and the place is deserted.
[11:19] ---
    I hear the only people that live in this
    mansion are him and his two servants.
[11:24] ---
    I know it's because of his curse,
    but still, it's kind of sad.
[11:29] ---
    It just goes to show that I'm better
    suited to inherit the family title.
[11:33] ---
    I must be very, very quiet...
[11:38] ---
    Hold on--
    What's a Santa suit doing here?!
[11:43] ---
    Is it some kind of trap?
[11:45] ---
    And...
[11:46] ---
    ...why does it come with a fake beard?!
[11:48] ---
    Oh?
[11:49] ---
    Huh?
[11:53] ---
    You must be Santa!
[11:54] ---
    OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG!
[11:56] ---
    It's the first time I've seen
    you in the flesh!
[11:57] ---
    Wh-What do you mean?
[12:00] ---
    What?
[12:02] ---
    You aren't Santa?
    Who are you, anyway?
[12:04] ---
    Um, uh, well...
[12:06] ---
    Why, I'm Santa, of course!
[12:07] ---
    Wow!
[12:09] ---
    Santa! It is you!
[12:10] ---
    Did you come here to deliver our presents?
[12:12] ---
    Um, well...
[12:15] ---
    Here's your present.
[12:16] ---
    This is the first time someone's
    ever given me a present.
[12:19] ---
    You really are Santa!
[12:20] ---
    Darn it! That was Viola's.
[12:23] ---
    Okay, well, Santa's a busy guy,
    so I'll be seeing you.
[12:26] ---
    Are you going to make your
    round-the-world trip now?
[12:27] ---
    Yeah, that's right. See you!
[12:28] ---
    If you're leaving, that means you've
    got your flying reindeer sleigh, right?
[12:31] ---
    Show it to me.
[12:32] ---
    Yeah, well, I didn't ride it here today.
[12:34] ---
    That means I couldn't use
    the chimney to get in.
[12:35] ---
    Okay, I mean it this time.
    This really is goodbye!
[12:45] ---
    Need a lift to the chimney?
[12:48] ---
    Are you a witch?!
[12:49] ---
    Well, you're practically one
    of us yourself, eh, Santa?
[12:56] ---
    That's weird. Where could I
    have dropped Rob's gift?
[13:02] ---
    This sucks.
[13:03] ---
    Hey, there!
[13:04] ---
    Did you find what you were looking for?
[13:06] ---
    I'll try again later.
[13:08] ---
    Oh, this mask's so nice and fluffy!
    It's really soothing!
[13:14] ---
    Oh, yeah!
[13:16] ---
    Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!
[13:21] ---
    Hey, Rob, what's with you?
[13:23] ---
    Ho! Ho! Ho!
[13:26] ---
    We got a Santa suit ready to surprise
    Cuff with, but we seem to have lost it.
[13:31] ---
    So, you're trying to make do
    by mimicking him?
[13:34] ---
    Ho! Ho! Ho!
[13:36] ---
    Huh? Where's Cuff?
[13:38] ---
    She woke up and went
    off looking for Santa.
[13:40] ---
    Oh, dear.
[13:41] ---
    Ho! Ho! Ho!
[13:43] ---
    We get the point!
    Is that your pet phrase now?
[13:44] ---
    Rob's so cute!
[13:45] ---
    Oh, where's the gift I brought?
[13:45] ---
    Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
[13:48] ---
    My Christmas is ruined!
[13:50] ---
    Oh, this is so soothing!
[13:52] ---
    Viola, that's a little...
[14:09] ---
    Ho! Ho! Ho!
[14:11] ---
    Merry Christmas!
[14:18] ---
    Santa's here!
[14:20] ---
    That's a bit of a stretch.
[14:21] ---
    Honestly, I don't believe it!
[14:23] ---
    You followed me here, Walter?
[14:27] ---
    Walter? As in, my younger brother?!
[14:35] ---
    D... D-D-D...
[14:37] ---
    Don't call me your younger brother!
[14:40] ---
    Call me your rival!
[14:44] ---
    Huh?
[14:45] ---
    Your R-I-V-A-L!
[14:47] ---
    Why did he come wearing a Santa suit?
[14:51] ---
    And why did he come down the chimney?
[14:53] ---
    I haven't seen you in years, and yet
    I see you haven't changed a bit.
[14:58] ---
    You look pretty chic yourself, Walter.
[15:00] ---
    I'm so jealous.
[15:02] ---
    The last thing I want to hear is
    you telling me you're jealous!
[15:05] ---
    Viola, why do you like this creep?
[15:08] ---
    First off, why don't you tell everyone
    you're sorry for crashing the party?
[15:11] ---
    Just look at how dirty the floor is!
[15:13] ---
    Er... I'm sorry.
[15:14] ---
    I don't know what's gotten
    into that head of yours,
[15:17] ---
    but you're a real pain, you know that?
[15:18] ---
    It's not like I came to our brother's
    place because I'm fond of him or anything.
[15:21] ---
    Not fond of him, not fond of him, not fond
    of him, not fond of him, not fond of him.
[15:27] ---
    Looks like one extra person
    got his feelings hurt.
[15:30] ---
    This guy's a friend of
    that witch I just met.
[15:33] ---
    I'm amazed that firstborn here knows these
    witches and still can't break his curse.
[15:37] ---
    Just look at him.
[15:39] ---
    Mother's too easy on him.
[15:42] ---
    Even if he could break his curse,
[15:44] ---
    he's not fit to be the head of the family.
[15:48] ---
    Huh?
[15:49] ---
    Where's Santa?
[15:50] ---
    He left.
[15:52] ---
    Who the heck are you?
[15:55] ---
    Hmm?
[15:56] ---
    Ah!
[15:57] ---
    Hey, that's mine!
    I'm so glad you found it!
[16:01] ---
    No, you're wrong.
[16:02] ---
    This is a gift from Santa.
[16:04] ---
    What?!
[16:05] ---
    There don't appear to be any problems,
    so let's get dinner ready.
[16:09] ---
    All right.
[16:10] ---
    Give that back!
[16:12] ---
    No way!
[16:14] ---
    I think I'll get some shut-eye.
[16:15] ---
    It's like a free space in here...
[16:18] ---
    It seems you can't even
    take command of this room.
[16:21] ---
    Do you really intend to
    inherit the family title?
[16:25] ---
    That's a very precious item!
[16:27] ---
    Santa gave it to me!
[16:29] ---
    Well, since I am the firstborn son
    and all, I guess I'd like to inherit it.
[16:34] ---
    That is, if I can break this curse,
    and the family welcomes me back.
[16:37] ---
    Where did you find this?
[16:38] ---
    What are you talking about?
    Santa gave me this.
[16:40] ---
    Do you really expect me to believe that?
[16:42] ---
    You've really got it easy.
[16:45] ---
    Has anyone ever told you that
    you were someone else's alternate?
[16:48] ---
    Ah-choo!
[16:49] ---
    How do you think they've treated
    me for over a decade?
[16:53] ---
    How should I know?
[16:55] ---
    I'm your alternate. Just in case
    your curse can't be broken.
[17:00] ---
    I've got plenty of replacements for you!
[17:03] ---
    Just because I was born a little later,
    your existence determines my whole future.
[17:09] ---
    I don't care one way or the other!
    It's my first present!
[17:12] ---
    Oh, come on!
[17:12] ---
    I'll hear you out after I patch things up.
[17:15] ---
    By all means...
[17:19] ---
    Hey, don't you know?
[17:21] ---
    That flower-like part...
[17:22] ---
    ...makes you grow a beard and break
    out in a rash all over. It's poisonous.
[17:25] ---
    You'd better let go of it.
[17:28] ---
    Really? That's awful!
[17:30] ---
    I'll take care of it. Stand back, Viola!
[17:32] ---
    Hey!
[17:33] ---
    What do you think you're doing?!
[17:36] ---
    Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!
[17:38] ---
    Are you all right?
[17:39] ---
    I've got gloves on, so I'm okay!
[17:43] ---
    It should be good to go
    once you rewrap it.
[17:46] ---
    Here you go, Viola.
[17:48] ---
    You're okay with this, aren't you Cuff?
[17:49] ---
    Yep. I'm sorry I tried to
    keep it all to myself.
[17:53] ---
    I know it's not poisonous now,
    so I'll let you have it, Viola.
[17:56] ---
    Thanks.
[17:58] ---
    It was mine to begin with, though.
[18:00] ---
    And, um... Dearest Brother?
[18:04] ---
    Thank you, too.
[18:06] ---
    Huh?!
[18:07] ---
    That's the first time you ever
    thanked me for anything, Viola...
[18:09] ---
    Er, well...
[18:11] ---
    So, anyway, how did you
    make that fireball just now?
[18:14] ---
    Well, I am a performer, you know.
    It's top secret.
[18:17] ---
    Oh, really?
[18:18] ---
    I'll make you a friendly wager.
[18:20] ---
    The first of us to uncover the truth about
    your curse inherits the family title.
[18:24] ---
    The loser remains
    an alternate for all time.
[18:27] ---
    I'm not sure I follow you, but if that's
    what you want to do, then all right.
[18:31] ---
    I accept.
[18:34] ---
    Okay, so it's settled, then.
[18:37] ---
    Farewell!
[18:38] ---
    Huh?!
[18:39] ---
    Oops!
[18:42] ---
    Hey!
[18:43] ---
    Oh, jeez, he knocked over the tree.
[18:45] ---
    You'd better fix all the

    Aw, man!
[19:58] ---
    I just remembered I can't
    go back without Viola.
[20:05] ---
    I'm freezing...
[20:07] ---
    Everyone's gone.
[20:10] ---
    I never thought I'd meet Walter tonight.
[20:13] ---
    He seems like an interesting guy.
[20:15] ---
    Now that the party's over,
    there's nothing else to do for Christmas.
[20:20] ---
    Oh, but there is.
[20:23] ---
    On Christmas, it's okay to ask for
    a kiss underneath the mistletoe.
[20:29] ---
    So, let's give each other a kiss.
[20:30] ---
    But I can't!
[20:31] ---
    Whoops!
[20:33] ---
    Oh, dear.
[20:37] ---
    Are you able to stand?
[20:39] ---
    On that day, too...
[20:41] ---
    On that day, too...
[20:42] ---
    ...I was covered in snow...
[20:45] ---
    ...and about ready to die.
    But then you came.
[20:50] ---
    And everything changed inside me.
[20:55] ---
    Alice, I like you, I think...
[21:00] ---
    Um, uh...
[21:02] ---
    You must think I'm weird for saying
    this out of the blue and all.
[21:06] ---
    Um... er...
[21:12] ---
    I-I'm sorry.
[21:14] ---
    I... uh...
[21:16] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[21:19] ---
    Don't be. It surprised me, that's all.
[21:26] ---
    I-I'm going to live.
[21:28] ---
    Together, with you.
[21:34] ---
    That's how I want to live.
[21:37] ---
    I've got friends.
[21:38] ---
    I even hosted a party.
[21:40] ---
    I've got you and Viola and Rob.
[21:42] ---
    There are so many things that
    make me glad I didn't give in.
[21:47] ---
    And I have you to thank for it.
[21:49] ---
    Thank you for those delightful words.
[21:52] ---
    I'll accept them as your
    Christmas gift to me.
[21:56] ---
    And in return...
[22:00] ---
    ...I give myself to you.
[22:04] ---
    You scared me half to death!
[22:06] ---
    I wonder what happened to
    the pure you of those days.
[22:09] ---
    Hey, doesn't that feel cold to you?
[22:11] ---
    I wanted to share in the coldness
    you're feeling, Your Grace.
[22:17] ---
    Because we're going to
    go on living together.
[22:21] ---
    I stand corrected.
[22:23] ---
    You're just as pure as ever.
[22:27] ---
    Really?

[00:26] ---
    Can you imagine...
[00:29] ---
    ...a life in which you could never
    touch the one you love?
[00:34] ---
    He takes the life of whatever he touches.
[00:36] ---
    That was the curse the witch put on him.
[00:39] ---
    His own mother has
    distanced herself from him.
[00:41] ---
    His friends have called him a monster.
[00:44] ---
    Even strangers have spoken of him as the
    Death incarnate that dwells in the forest.
[00:49] ---
    And yet,
[00:51] ---
    he doesn't feel the least bit lonely.
[01:23] ---
    Caught you, you naughty girl!
[01:25] ---
    Mother!
[01:26] ---
    You've got to stay in bed in
    your room like a good little girl.
[01:29] ---
    Alice, you have a weak
    constitution, you know.
[01:33] ---
    I'm sorry.
[01:35] ---
    I'm not mad at you.
[01:38] ---
    I'm just worried about you, Alice.
[01:43] ---
    Good morning, everyone!
[01:44] ---
    Good morning!
[01:47] ---
    Good morning, Sharon and Alice.
[01:49] ---
    Good morning.
[01:51] ---
    Sharon, could you show me how to
    do something on the sewing machine?
[01:55] ---
    All right. I'll be there right
    after I take Alice to her room.
[01:59] ---
    I found some bugs in the kitchen...
[02:01] ---
    Sprinkle salt water on the floor.
[02:04] ---
    Keep at it for several days
    and see how it goes.
[02:07] ---
    That's our head maid!
    You can count on her.
[02:10] ---
    Yeah, isn't she something?
[02:12] ---
    Although I must say she lacks
    the character of a head maid.
[02:15] ---
    Ooh, how rude of you to say that!
[02:17] ---
    You want character?
    I'll give you character!
[02:21] ---
    You ready? Here's your character!
[02:24] ---
    What the heck was that?
[02:25] ---
    Oh, dear, was it that strange?
[02:27] ---
    What did you think of it, Alice?
[02:29] ---
    It was perfect.
[02:30] ---
    Oh, my! You're too easy on me!
[02:35] ---
    Your Grace? Please don't run
    in the house, okay?
[02:39] ---
    Okay! I'm going outside now!
[02:49] ---
    Why, Alice! Have you made
    friends with His Grace?
[02:55] ---
    Were you hoping to see him? Is that why
    you were walking around the house?
[03:01] ---
    Oh, my.
    That's a long, hard road you tread.
[03:03] ---
    But I won't stand in your way.
[03:07] ---
    Forgive me for teasing you.
[03:08] ---
    It's just that your face is so
    cute when you blush, Alice.
[03:12] ---
    Good morning, Sharon.
[03:16] ---
    Good morning, Rob.
[03:17] ---
    And good morning to you too, Alice.
[03:21] ---
    You always hide behind
    your mother's skirt, don't you?
[03:24] ---
    You've got such a scary face, that's why.
[03:26] ---
    There's nothing to be
    scared of, little girl.
[03:27] ---
    It doesn't help when you
    say that with a straight face...
[03:30] ---
    Have you gotten used
    to life in the mansion?
[03:32] ---
    Uh-huh.
[03:32] ---
    What do you think of the way
    that your mother works?
[03:35] ---
    She's really amazing!
[03:37] ---
    When I grow up, I want to be
    a fine maid just like her... sir.
[03:42] ---
    My daughter's so adorable I could cry...
[03:45] ---
    But you already are.
[03:47] ---
    I look forward to the day when
    we can work together, Alice.
[03:53] ---
    Good day.
[04:01] ---
    Okay, I'm going to work now,
    so stay in bed like a good little girl.
[04:05] ---
    Okay.
[04:08] ---
    My sweet Alice,
[04:10] ---
    I'll protect you no matter what.
[04:13] ---
    I love you!
SIGN    Episode 10: The Duke, Alice,
    and a Song for Two
[06:06] ---
    Ooh, Mother's majorly pissed.
[06:09] ---
    The fact that Walter and I were both gone
    on Christmas might've been the last straw.
[06:14] ---
    It's all your fault, Walter,
    for following me without my knowledge.
[06:19] ---
    It's all his fault,
    my brother the firstborn.
[06:34] ---
    Oh, wait, that's right.
[06:36] ---
    I wonder if she's going to be okay...
[06:39] ---
    Look, I know we just met, so I shouldn't
    be saying this, but let's face it.
[06:43] ---
    Cuff is such a useless good-for-nothing,
    and you know why? It's all because of...
[06:46] ---
    ...you, her childhood friend!
[06:48] ---
    Huh?
[06:49] ---
    You look out for her too much,
    and that's a habit you've got to break.
[06:52] ---
    You should let her do the shopping by
    herself sometimes. It's for her own good.
[06:56] ---
    F-For Cuff's own good?
[06:58] ---
    Hmm?
[07:00] ---
    Viola may have a point there.
[07:03] ---
    But still, I'm worried, so I'm watching
    Cuff from a distance just in case.
[07:07] ---
    I'm not going to bail her
    out today, I promise!
[07:10] ---
    Huh?! H-Hey, wait!
[07:12] ---
    All right, will that be all, dear?
[07:15] ---
    Yep, that's everything
    that was on the note.
[07:17] ---
    Thanks! Bye now!
[07:19] ---
    Now hold on, miss.
    Where's the cash you owe me?
[07:21] ---
    Cash?
[07:22] ---
    That's right. Cash.
[07:23] ---
    Hmm, Zain's not with me today,
    so I don't know what to do...
[07:29] ---
    Argh, what the heck is she doing?
[07:31] ---
    I want to bail her out.
    Bail her out right now.
[07:33] ---
    No, this is exactly the
    habit I've got to break.
[07:36] ---
    I've got it! Is it all right
    if I trade you for it?
[07:38] ---
    What?!
[07:39] ---
    Of course it's not all right!
[07:40] ---
    You're putting the lady on the spot here!
[07:41] ---
    Check out this cat-shaped rock I found!
[07:44] ---
    I was planning on giving it to Zain,
    but what the hay?
[07:47] ---
    Nobody's going to want that!
[07:48] ---
    Oh, this is so awkward...
[07:49] ---
    Didn't your folks give you
    some money to pay for this?
[07:52] ---
    Oh, so "cash" means "money"?
[07:55] ---
    Sorry about that.
[07:56] ---
    All right, thanks!
[07:58] ---
    Come again!
[08:02] ---
    Here you go! Fresh from the oven.
[08:03] ---
    Thanks. This is money.
    Some people call it cash.
[08:07] ---
    Yeah well, I knew that.
[08:09] ---
    She paid the bill without a hitch.
[08:11] ---
    You're making progress, Cuff!
[08:19] ---
    Such nice, soft bread.
[08:22] ---
    I'll protect you for as long as I live.
[08:23] ---
    For as long as you live?
    That's kind of unlikely.
[08:32] ---
    Sorry.
[08:34] ---
    Wait a sec.
[08:35] ---
    Zain trusted me with that money.
[08:39] ---
    I'd get in trouble if you took it.
[08:41] ---
    L-Let go of me!
[08:44] ---
    Watch out!
[08:50] ---
    Are you all right?
[08:51] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[08:52] ---
    I tried to pickpocket you, and yet you...
    I'm sorry.
[08:56] ---
    Well, now you know better.
[08:57] ---
    Aw, shoot!
[08:58] ---
    The stuff Zain asked me to buy...
[09:00] ---
    Hey there. Let's pick this all up
    now and head on home.
[09:04] ---
    I see that habit of yours
    has reared its ugly head again.
[09:07] ---
    I don't think I'll ever
    be able to kick it.
[09:23] ---
    Your Grace?
[09:25] ---
    Are you having trouble sleeping again?
[09:27] ---
    Yeah, sort of.
[09:29] ---
    I thought I might get a little drowsy
    if I took a walk around the mansion.
[09:34] ---
    Shall I get in bed with you?
[09:36] ---
    Get in bed with me?!
    And must you get so close to say it?!
[09:39] ---
    I'll go to my room and get some pajamas.
[09:42] ---
    Please wait for me in
    your bedroom, Your Grace.
[09:44] ---
    Hey, hang on there...
[09:47] ---
    The whole thing's been settled
    with none of my input.
[09:53] ---
    May I come in?
[09:57] ---
    Y-You really mean to go through with this?
[09:59] ---
    Why, of course.
[10:02] ---
    I'll try to stay as still as I can.
[10:05] ---
    You can leave as soon as I fall asleep.
[10:09] ---
    As you wish.
[10:11] ---
    The one I love is lying beside me...
[10:14] ---
    It's kind of... freaking me out...
[10:18] ---
    Totally... freaking me out...
[10:23] ---
    She's got long eyelashes...
    and beautiful lips.
[10:28] ---
    You're my angel.
[10:32] ---
    Do you think staring at me
    will help you fall asleep?
[10:35] ---
    So, you noticed, huh?
[10:37] ---
    Maybe she's a devil, not an angel.
[10:44] ---
    I'm feeling kind of tense now, and it's
    made it even harder for me to fall asleep.
[10:49] ---
    I know what you mean.
[10:51] ---
    Can I take off my pajamas?
[10:53] ---
    No! Why?
[10:54] ---
    I always sleep in the nude when I'm in my
    room, so this feels kind of uncomfortable.
[10:59] ---
    Well, now's definitely not a good time!
[11:01] ---
    I'll try to make the best of it.
[11:02] ---
    I wouldn't say she's a devil...
[11:05] ---
    ...she's more of a succubus.
[11:06] ---
    Your Grace?
[11:08] ---
    I pictured you as a succubus just now!
[11:11] ---
    Did I look good?
[11:13] ---
    Yeah, you did!
[11:14] ---
    Come on, isn't it about time
    you really tried going to sleep?
[11:18] ---
    You're starting to strip again!
[11:20] ---
    I just don't feel comfortable
    in these pajamas.
[11:22] ---
    What if Rob saw us now?
    How would we explain it?
[11:26] ---
    It looks like I'm doing
    something nasty to you!
[11:30] ---
    Do you want to try something nasty?
[11:31] ---
    You're the one who's
    being nasty right now!
[11:35] ---
    Now that I think about it, it's not right
    for an unwed couple to sleep together.
[11:42] ---
    My mother's really straitlaced,
    so I doubt she'd approve of it.
[11:47] ---
    Your Grace? How do you feel about your
    mother... I mean, the lady of the house?
[11:57] ---
    I don't have any strong feelings
    for her one way or the other now.
[12:00] ---
    Like Walter said, she has been
    waiting for me this whole time.
[12:05] ---
    And I do want to have a seat
    at the family dinner table again.
[12:09] ---
    If I can break this curse,
    I think I can make peace with her.
[12:12] ---
    And when I do, I'll tell her about us.
[12:15] ---
    I know it's not easy for an heir
    to marry his maid.
[12:19] ---
    But I'll make a serious effort to ask her.
[12:21] ---
    If my family doesn't approve,
    I'll break ties with them and--
[12:25] ---
    You mustn't.
[12:27] ---
    You mustn't even consider it.
[12:30] ---
    Please, just don't.
[12:32] ---
    Please?
[12:35] ---
    Well, I'll cross that bridge
    when I get to it.
[12:38] ---
    First, I've got to break this curse.
[12:40] ---
    That'll get the ball rolling.
[12:43] ---
    I think I can get to sleep now.
[12:45] ---
    Thanks. You can go now.
[12:48] ---
    As you wish.
[12:53] ---
    Good night, Alice.
[12:55] ---
    I hope I can see you again in my dreams.
[12:58] ---
    Then I shall see you in your dreams.
[13:00] ---
    Good night, Your Grace.
[13:18] ---
    It's still warm.
[13:34] ---
    He's right.
[13:35] ---
    Once his curse is broken,
[13:37] ---
    His Grace will go back to his family's
    main residence as its heir.
[13:41] ---
    And he'll live with his family once again.
[13:45] ---
    That's the way it should be.
[13:47] ---
    And yet...
[13:54] ---
    Why, Alice, it's you!
[13:55] ---
    I'm sorry to bother you so late at night.
[14:07] ---
    Rob!
[14:09] ---
    Oh, you don't have to
    put out your cigarette.
[14:11] ---
    I'm sorry to bother you
    during your break time.
[14:13] ---
    I wanted to show you these!
[14:15] ---
    Alice gave them to me.
[14:17] ---
    She told me she knitted them for a little
    bit each day as she thought of me!
[14:22] ---
    With the scarf and mittens Alice made me,
    I'll stay warm no matter how cold it gets.
[14:28] ---
    Oh...
[14:30] ---
    Come on, say something.
[14:32] ---
    You really have begun
    to smile more, Your Grace.
[14:37] ---
    It's a far cry from your nihilistic days.
[14:40] ---
    Don't remind me!
[14:42] ---
    Even I look back on those days and wince.
[14:45] ---
    Your Grace?
[14:47] ---
    I made you some tea.
[14:48] ---
    Okay, I'm on my way!
[14:53] ---
    Oh, and try not to smoke too much, okay?
[14:56] ---
    Yes, Your Grace.
[14:59] ---
    Back then...
[15:00] ---
    ...after His Grace had been cursed
    and I was ordered to care for him,
[15:05] ---
    I honestly didn't know what to do.
[15:08] ---
    It wasn't that I was afraid of his curse.
[15:11] ---
    It was just that I'd never
    raised a child before.
[15:15] ---
    I feared that I wouldn't be able to bring
    him up alone without a woman's help.
[15:22] ---
    Still, he was the family's precious son.
[15:26] ---
    Your right eye is really scary-looking.
[15:31] ---
    Will this do?
[15:32] ---
    Uh-huh.
[15:34] ---
    I considered it an honor to be
    entrusted with such an important task.
[15:38] ---
    However, as he grew older,
    His Grace and I began to butt heads.
[15:43] ---
    He fought with me and ran away
    I don't know how many times.
[15:49] ---
    Eventually, His Grace shut himself in his
    room and began to retreat into his shell.
[15:56] ---
    I suspect that his loneliness
    had turned into fear.
[16:02] ---
    More and more often he
    expressed a desire to die.
[16:07] ---
    "If only His Grace had someone
    his own age to talk with," I thought.
[16:11] ---
    And the first person that
    came to my mind was...
[16:15] ---
    ...her.
[16:18] ---
    Me, a maid?
[16:20] ---
    Does this mean I could
    see His Grace again?
[16:24] ---
    It was obvious that Alice had
    been mistreated by her aunt.
[16:28] ---
    Even so, she bowed deeply to
    the woman before we departed.
[16:35] ---
    Now, Alice is even more dear to His Grace
    than I could have possibly imagined.
[16:46] ---
    But Alice knows where
    she stands in all of this.
[16:51] ---
    She knows it only too well.
[16:54] ---
    I'm weird, aren't I?
[16:57] ---
    How so?
[16:58] ---
    I hope that His Grace will break his curse
    and live with his family once again.
[17:05] ---
    And yet, His Grace is
    fond of me, his maid.
[17:10] ---
    While I appreciate his affection,
[17:13] ---
    when I think about how that
    might estrange him from his family,
[17:17] ---
    I can't take any pleasure in it.
[17:21] ---
    You're not weird at all.
[17:24] ---
    It's up to the two of you to
    decide how you'd like to be,
[17:27] ---
    so I'll keep my opinions to myself.
[17:30] ---
    But the feelings you have for
    His Grace aren't weird at all.
[17:34] ---
    They're something purer.
[17:36] ---
    I might go so far as to call it...
[17:39] ---
    ...fate.
[17:43] ---
    That's what it is.
[17:50] ---
    Rob?
[17:53] ---
    You're going to get cold pretty soon.
[17:55] ---
    Come join us for a cup of tea.
[17:58] ---
    All right, I'll be there shortly.
[18:03] ---
    If the two of them are happy,
[18:06] ---
    then so am I.
[18:41] ---
    So... How was it?
[18:43] ---
    It was superb. A wonderful
    and moving experience.
[18:47] ---
    Th-Thanks.
[18:49] ---
    You played a cheerful song this time.
[18:53] ---
    Although I thought the ballad you played
    last time was wonderful, too.
[18:56] ---
    R-Really?
[18:57] ---
    Well, I'm glad you liked it.
[18:59] ---
    This isn't my way of thanking you
    for the mittens, though.
[19:03] ---
    I don't know how to put it, but...
[19:04] ---
    ...I'm just really glad to be able
    to spend time with you like this.
[19:10] ---
    Me, too.
[19:11] ---
    Now that we're alone, Your Grace,
    my body aches with yearning.
[19:16] ---
    So, what should I play next?
[19:18] ---
    Say, Alice?
[19:19] ---
    Why don't you sing to my
    accompaniment once in a while?
[19:22] ---
    Who, me?
[19:23] ---
    Yeah, you've sung for me several
    times now. I like what you sing, Alice.
[19:29] ---
    Very well. What would you like me to sing?
[19:33] ---
    All right, how about...
[19:53] ---
    "The Owl and the Pussy-cat"?
[19:55] ---
    Yeah. Sing it for me.

    Your Grace...
[21:37] ---
    Your face is as red as a beet.
[21:39] ---
    Don't look at me!
[21:40] ---
    I can't believe my heart would start
    pounding over some nursery rhyme lyrics.
[21:44] ---
    I felt kind of embarrassed, too.
[21:46] ---
    I didn't know you could feel that way.
[21:48] ---
    What kind of person do you think I am?
[21:52] ---
    I may have been embarrassed,
[21:54] ---
    but it doesn't bother me
    because of you, Your Grace.
[21:56] ---
    I-I think I'd better call it a night...
[21:58] ---
    ...while I can still think straight.
[22:02] ---
    Lately I've been feeling kind of cheerful.
[22:05] ---
    I wonder if that's why I could
    write a song like that.
[22:07] ---
    That could be the reason.
[22:09] ---
    You have definitely been smiling
    more often, Your Grace.
[22:13] ---
    I owe it all to you, Alice.
[22:14] ---
    As long as I don't lose hope, I think that
    one day I'll be able to break my curse.
[22:21] ---
    Once I do that, I'll be able to
    return to my family's home.
[22:24] ---
    Proudly...
[22:25] ---
    And I'll take you with me.
[22:27] ---
    Well, this is where I'll say good night.
[22:30] ---
    You don't have to walk me to my room.
[22:32] ---
    O-Oh, really? What a bummer...
[22:35] ---
    Good night, Your Grace.
[22:38] ---
    You blew me a kiss!
[22:40] ---
    Forgive me, Your Grace.
[22:43] ---
    I'm just a lowly servant.
[22:48] ---
    Your Grace, no matter what you may think,
[22:50] ---
    when that fateful day arrives,
[22:52] ---
    we won't be able to see
    each other freely anymore.
[22:55] ---
    I know this, and it saddens me.
[23:03] ---
    I'm a no-good maid.
[23:05] ---
    Aren't I, Mother?
[23:08] ---
    Alice!
[23:10] ---
    Your Grace...
[23:11] ---
    Let me walk you to your room.
[23:13] ---
    It may not be very far, but you never
    know what may be lurking outside.
[23:17] ---
    I appreciate the sentiment,
[23:19] ---
    but a servant can't let her
    master walk her to her room...
[23:22] ---
    It doesn't matter.
[23:24] ---
    I'd like to treat you like a lady, Alice.
[23:29] ---
    What's wrong?
[23:31] ---
    Even if it hadn't panned out...
[23:35] ---
    ...I believe the pussy-cat would still
    have been happy to have loved the owl.
[23:40] ---
    Is that what that nursery
    rhyme was all about?
[23:46] ---
    Hey! Wait up, Alice!
[23:48] ---
    I'll be your escort!
[23:50] ---
    Hey! Did you hear me, Alice?

[00:34] ---
    He takes the life of whatever he touches.
[00:36] ---
    That was the curse the witch put on him.

[02:27] ---
    Th-This weighs a ton.
[02:29] ---
    Thanks for doing the heavy lifting.
[02:33] ---
    Do you really think this storeroom could
    hold some clue to breaking his curse?
[02:38] ---
    Couldn't we at least let
    the servants handle this?
[02:41] ---
    We don't know what Mother
    would say if she found out.
[02:45] ---
    And we won't know whether there's
    any kind of lead unless we look for it.
[02:51] ---
    Why would you bother getting
    yourself all covered in dust...
[02:55] ---
    I knew it! You are fond of him!
[02:58] ---
    Am I not good enough for you, Viola?!
[03:01] ---
    You are such a royal pain...
[03:02] ---
    First off, Walter, wasn't it you who said
    you wanted to help and followed me here?
[03:07] ---
    Well, yeah!
[03:08] ---
    If I could find some clue to his curse,
    I'd be one step ahead of him.
[03:13] ---
    No, not one step.
[03:15] ---
    Two!
[03:17] ---
    Not the dreaded number two!
[03:25] ---
    The servants' logbook?
[03:30] ---
    Dear Brother, straighten up in here, okay?
[03:33] ---
    Viola! Viola!
[03:38] ---
    Mother...
[03:42] ---
    What could you possibly
    have done to get that dirty?
[03:45] ---
    And I see you're wearing
    that same old outfit...
[03:47] ---
    She's a disgrace. Get her out
    of those clothes right away.
[03:58] ---
    Come in.
[04:00] ---
    Is this better?
[04:02] ---
    Yes.
[04:03] ---
    From now on, you should
    always dress like this.
[04:07] ---
    But...
[04:08] ---
    ...long skirts just aren't my style.
[04:11] ---
    It's a vast improvement over
    those childish outfits of yours.
[04:14] ---
    One day you will be
    married into another family.
[04:18] ---
    Try not to do anything that would bring
    shame to our noble family name.
[04:24] ---
    You're always saying that, Mother!
[04:27] ---
    Can't I wear the clothes I like?
[04:29] ---
    Can't I live my own life?
[04:36] ---
    No, you can't.
[04:41] ---
    I can't take it anymore!
[04:45] ---
    That sharp-tongued, flat-chested old hag
    with her creepy make-up! She's so cruel!
[04:50] ---
    I think your badmouthing
    is what's cruel here.
[04:53] ---
    I'm badmouthing her because
    I can't say it to her face!
[04:56] ---
    Oh, this totally sucks.
[04:58] ---
    I won't stop crying unless
    Rob gives me a hug!
[05:01] ---
    What are you crying for?
[05:02] ---
    You look good in that dress.
[05:05] ---
    Huh?! Quit trying to console me!
[05:07] ---
    I was paying you a compliment...
[05:09] ---
    I don't think this is that
    big of a problem.
[05:12] ---
    Your Grace? I believe this is more than
    just a problem with her clothes.
[05:17] ---
    If you say so, Alice,
    then you're probably right.
[05:20] ---
    What's with the flip-flopping?
[05:23] ---
    So, it's all settled.
[05:24] ---
    I'm moving in as of today.
[05:26] ---
    I brought my luggage and everything.
[05:28] ---
    Well, I won't let you, so go home.
[05:30] ---
    You mustn't make Mother
    and everyone else worry.
[05:33] ---
    I don't want to live under
    the same roof as that woman!
[05:36] ---
    If you're going to say that, Dearest
    Brother, then why don't you go back home?
[05:39] ---
    I would if I could!
[05:42] ---
    Okay then, how about I come here
    to work as one of your servants?
[05:45] ---
    I can clean and do laundry,
[05:47] ---
    I could even be your court musician!
[05:50] ---
    I could get good at cooking if I studied!
[05:53] ---
    I could even come here as Rob's
    pet if push came to shove.
[05:55] ---
    What do you think, Dearest Brother?
[05:57] ---
    I think you're being too persistent.
[05:59] ---
    Hey Alice, what do you say?
[06:01] ---
    Talk him into it, pwease?
[06:04] ---
    Your Grace...
[06:04] ---
    Pwease? Pwease?
[06:05] ---
    That's not fair, Viola, in so many ways!
[06:08] ---
    If I lived here, I could forget about the
    family's standing and do what I like.
[06:12] ---
    I wouldn't be under anyone's thumb,
    and I could wear whatever I want.
[06:17] ---
    Forgive the intrusion.
[06:18] ---
    OMG, it's Rob!
[06:20] ---
    Indeed I am.
[06:21] ---
    Well, well!
[06:22] ---
    Who is this young lady who
    has fled here from her castle?
[06:26] ---
    Why, it's you, Lady Viola.
[06:28] ---
    What a lovely dress you're wearing.
[06:30] ---
    R-Really?
[06:31] ---
    M-Mother dressed me in it!
[06:33] ---
    If you like the way I look, Rob,
[06:35] ---
    then maybe I'll wear something
    like this sometimes when I visit.
[06:38] ---
    Um, yeah, that's what I'll do. Definitely!
[06:43] ---
    Are you really going to spend
    the night in my room?
[06:47] ---
    Yeah. I decided not to run away,
[06:49] ---
    but I did bring my luggage and all,
[06:51] ---
    so I thought it might be fun if the two
    of us had another girls-only party.
[06:54] ---
    Also, I have something to give you, Alice.
[06:57] ---
    Well, I wonder what it could be.
[06:59] ---
    Hey! I let myself in.
[07:01] ---
    Cuff! What are you doing here?!
[07:03] ---
    Oh, you're here too, Viola?
[07:06] ---
    So, you've been waiting here on your own
    without telling anyone you were coming?
[07:11] ---
    Can't I come over without an invitation?
[07:13] ---
    No, you can't.
[07:14] ---
    If you're going to come over,
    you should at least say so in advance!
[07:17] ---
    That's what's called having good manners!
[07:19] ---
    Oh, it's no big deal.
[07:21] ---
    Since we're all here, why don't the three
    of us have a girls-only party tonight?
[07:25] ---
    Well Alice, if you're okay with it,
    then I guess I am, too...
[07:27] ---
    Cuff, are those the clothes
    you're going to sleep in?
[07:29] ---
    I brought some extra pajamas with me.
    Shall I lend you a pair?
[07:32] ---
    Really?
[07:32] ---
    Well then, let me borrow them!
[07:34] ---
    Hey! Not so fast!
[07:35] ---
    Don't you have any tact?!
[07:37] ---
    Tact? What's that?
[07:39] ---
    How are they?
    My pajamas are kind of on the big side,
[07:42] ---
    so I think they might be
    a little loose on you...
[07:44] ---
    Yep, looking good!
[07:46] ---
    Just a little tight in the chest, eh?!
[07:48] ---
    Oh my, how soft!
[07:49] ---
    Lady Viola?
[07:51] ---
    Did the lady of the house give you any
    trouble about having spent Christmas here?
[07:56] ---
    Oh, you mean my mother?
[07:58] ---
    She was really pissed because
    both Walter and I went out.
[08:04] ---
    It seems she was particularly hard on him.
[08:08] ---
    I see.
[08:09] ---
    It's good for Walter
    to get chewed out a little.
[08:12] ---
    The same applies to Dearest Brother.
[08:14] ---
    Whichever of them becomes
    the family heir has got to be strong.
[08:18] ---
    The two of them are
    hopeless as they are now.
[08:20] ---
    You may be saying that now,
    but you know it's not true.
[08:22] ---
    When I asked you before if you
    liked your dearest brother,
[08:25] ---
    you said, "I do."
[08:26] ---
    No! What I was trying
    to say was, "I do not!"
[08:30] ---
    You! Quit smiling!
[08:32] ---
    Hey! I've got it!
[08:33] ---
    Since this is a girls-only party and all,
    let's talk about love. Okay?
[08:36] ---
    You have such an obvious way
    of changing the subject.
[08:39] ---
    I-I-I-I wouldn't say that.
[08:41] ---
    So, Cuff? Is there somebody you like?
[08:45] ---
    I don't like talking about my love life.
[08:48] ---
    Oh, come on! It's no big deal.
[08:49] ---
    Who was your first love?
    Have you ever been in a relationship?
[08:52] ---
    Have you kissed anyone before?
[08:53] ---
    Huh?
[08:56] ---
    Quit it!
[08:57] ---
    Oh, I can't take anymore! I give up!
[09:02] ---
    I think you're the one with the obvious
    way of changing the subject!
[09:05] ---
    Yeah, you're right.
[09:06] ---
    Huh?!
[09:08] ---
    Lady Viola?
[09:09] ---
    Come to think of it, didn't you say
    you had something to give me?
[09:14] ---
    Oh, yeah, that's right.
[09:17] ---
    I thought there might be some clue to
    breaking the curse somewhere in my house.
[09:21] ---
    And after searching through
    a lot of stuff, I found this.
[09:24] ---
    It's the servants' logbook from around
    the time Dearest Brother got cursed.
[09:29] ---
    Oh, my!
[09:30] ---
    I don't know whether it'll be of any use,
[09:32] ---
    but I thought I'd give it
    to you anyway, Alice.
[09:35] ---
    Why, thank you.
[09:37] ---
    I think His Grace will be
    very pleased as well.
[09:42] ---
    My mother's handwriting...
[09:43] ---
    Hey, Cuff. You've gotten quiet all
    of a sudden. Is something wrong?
[09:48] ---
    Yeah, on second thought,
[09:49] ---
    maybe it wasn't a good idea to come over
    and spend the night without asking first.
[09:52] ---
    What's with the delayed reaction and all?!
[09:55] ---
    Aw, come on! It's not like I was being
    serious when I criticized you.
[09:58] ---
    Oh, my, how soft!
[09:59] ---
    What a relief!
[10:06] ---
    This bed's too small.
[10:08] ---
    Well then, why don't you go
    and sleep in the mansion?
[10:10] ---
    No, I'd better stay here.
[10:12] ---
    You're still a child, Viola,
    so there's safety in numbers.
[10:16] ---
    However you look at it, you're the child.
    In terms of your mental age.
[10:23] ---
    Wh-What's with you, Alice?
[10:25] ---
    Yeah, you're sure in a good mood.
[10:40] ---
    I see...
[10:43] ---
    Perhaps...
[10:44] ---
    ...it's time for me to act.
[10:59] ---
    It appears Viola didn't
    come home last night.
[11:02] ---
    S-So it would seem.
[11:04] ---
    Where exactly has she been going?
[11:07] ---
    I haven't forgiven you for
    what happened at Christmas.
[11:10] ---
    Answer me, Walter.
[11:12] ---
    W-Well, uh...
[11:20] ---
    So, what is it you wanted
    to talk about, Daleth?
[11:22] ---
    Well, I'm not going to
    make a fuss about...
[11:25] ---
    ...the humans you brought
    to the witches' sabbath.
[11:27] ---
    Hmm... So, are you going to...
[11:29] ---
    ...confess your love to me or something?
[11:31] ---
    Of course not.
[11:32] ---
    I'd like to ask you a favor.
[11:34] ---
    Like, to take your hand in marriage?
[11:37] ---
    I hope you keep stubbing your toe against
    the corner of a closet until you die.
[11:41] ---
    What's got your panties in a knot?
[11:44] ---
    My request is a simple one.
[11:46] ---
    I'd like you to deliver your
    "pals" a message.
[11:49] ---
    My pals?
[11:52] ---
    What's that you're reading?
[11:56] ---
    It's an old servants' logbook
    from the main residence.
[12:00] ---
    Lady Viola gave it to me
    thinking it might have...
[12:03] ---
    ...some information that
    could help break the curse.
[12:05] ---
    Oh.
[12:06] ---
    Well, the binding
    certainly looks familiar.
[12:09] ---
    Some of the pages were
    written by you, Rob.
[12:11] ---
    See?
[12:12] ---
    Hmm...
[12:14] ---
    My cursive's so bad I can't make
    out what I wrote apart from my name.
[12:21] ---
    That's just like you, Rob.
[12:23] ---
    What did the others write about?
[12:26] ---
    It's mostly about work.
[12:29] ---
    Even now you could learn
    a lot from reading it.
[12:33] ---
    For instance, my mother wrote...
[12:37] ---
    "Two women in white nun's habits came to
    the mansion. I hadn't seen them before."
[12:43] ---
    What's the matter?
[12:45] ---
    Rob?
[12:46] ---
    Do you recall seeing...
[12:48] ---
    ...two women in white nun's habits at the
    mansion while my mother was still alive?
[12:53] ---
    No, I don't.
[12:59] ---
    You... know who I am?
[13:01] ---
    My mother must have been writing
    about Daleth and someone else.
[13:06] ---
    Why would witches...
[13:08] ---
    Ooh, there's Alice!
[13:09] ---
    No, Zain! Don't!
[13:11] ---
    Alice and Rob are on
    their breaks right now.
[13:13] ---
    I can at least pop in to say hi, can't I?
[13:16] ---
    Howdy, Rob!
[13:17] ---
    Zain, welcome!
[13:19] ---
    Did you come by yourself?
    That's kind of unusual.
[13:22] ---
    Yeah, I guess.
[13:23] ---
    As long as I'm here seeing Alice and all,
    I've got a message for you from Daleth.
[13:27] ---
    Daleth?
[13:28] ---
    Oh, you mean the skeleton lady that
    took roll at the witches' sabbath?
[13:31] ---
    I told you she was our leader, didn't I?!
[13:33] ---
    That's a heck of a way to remember her!
[13:35] ---
    Oh, she's your leader? Sorry.
[13:37] ---
    Zain? What did Daleth say?
[13:41] ---
    She said, "Let's be friends."
[13:43] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?
[13:45] ---
    Our "friends" stay out of one another's
    business, so what she's saying is...
[13:49] ---
    ...she wants you to have
    nothing more to do with us.
[13:51] ---
    That's exactly the opposite
    of what the word means!
[13:54] ---
    I don't have any other leads.
[13:55] ---
    So, if I have nothing to do with you guys,
    what's to become of my curse?
[13:59] ---
    Hey, you're barking up the wrong tree.
[14:01] ---
    Well, no matter what Daleth says,
    Cuff and I will still help you.
[14:06] ---
    It'd be a shame if you couldn't break
    your curse and stayed a virgin for life.
[14:10] ---
    What the heck are you laughing at?!
[14:12] ---
    So... what are you reading, Alice?
[14:15] ---
    An old logbook from the main residence.
[14:18] ---
    Oh, really? Anything useful in it?
[14:20] ---
    I just started reading it,
    so I really couldn't say.
[14:24] ---
    I plan to read it at my leisure
    and learn what I can from it.
[14:27] ---
    I see.
[14:28] ---
    Let me know if you find out anything.
[14:30] ---
    I certainly will.
[14:31] ---
    Well, now that I've seen Alice,
[14:34] ---
    let's go have some fun if you're game.
[14:36] ---
    All right?
[14:37] ---
    Sure!
[14:39] ---
    I'll bring you some tea later on.
[14:41] ---
    Thanks, Alice.
[14:43] ---
    Okay, see you then.
[14:46] ---
    You don't have to do that, you know!
[14:48] ---
    Hey! Let me feel the excitement, too!
[14:57] ---
    Aw, jeez! You're noodling around too much!
[15:00] ---
    Oh, quit whining! There's no harm in it.
[15:02] ---
    Let me play it how I feel it.
[15:04] ---
    It don't have to be pretty to be art!
[15:06] ---
    Yeah, I know, but...
[15:09] ---
    All right! Perfect!
[15:10] ---
    Let's see. If I was going
    to name this song...
[15:13] ---
    ...how does "I Dedicate This Love
    to You, Alice" sound?
[15:16] ---
    Nuh-uh, no way!
[15:17] ---
    Why not?
[15:18] ---
    "Why not?" Because...
[15:20] ---
    ...I should be the only one
    to tell Alice he loves her!
[15:25] ---
    Oh, man! That was so cringeworthy.
[15:28] ---
    You're the one who can't be true
    to your feelings in front of Cuff.
[15:31] ---
    How uncool is that?
[15:32] ---
    I'm always true to my desires.
[15:35] ---
    That's not what I mean!
[15:39] ---
    Anyhoo. Now for Part Two!
[15:42] ---
    Would you at least call it the
    Second Movement or something?!
[15:44] ---
    Hey now, loosen up a bit!
[15:51] ---
    Rob, have you seen Zain?
[15:54] ---
    Zain?
[15:55] ---
    Yeah. I left him alone for a bit,
    and he went off somewhere.
[15:59] ---
    Now I can't find him.
[16:01] ---
    Come to think of it, when I was making
    my rounds of the second floor just now,
[16:05] ---
    I did hear someone climbing the stairs.
[16:09] ---
    Really?
[16:10] ---
    I wonder if he's exploring
    the mansion or something.
[16:18] ---
    I can't find it anywhere.
[16:23] ---
    Go tell your pals, "Let's be friends."
[16:26] ---
    Also, that girl Alice has gotten
    her hands on an old logbook.
[16:31] ---
    A logbook?
[16:32] ---
    Yes. A logbook from that mansion.
[16:34] ---
    There may be something
    written about me in there,
[16:37] ---
    so I'd like you to quietly get rid of it.
[16:39] ---
    Now hold on. They're my pals.
[16:42] ---
    I can't just get rid of something
    that belongs to them.
[16:45] ---
    Well, this isn't exactly a request...
[16:48] ---
    ...it's a threat.
[16:54] ---
    I could take her from you, you know.
[17:07] ---
    Zain?
[17:08] ---
    Is something the matter?
[17:11] ---
    That logbook...
[17:13] ---
    Well now, this is pretty awkward.
[17:17] ---
    To be perfectly honest,
    Daleth asked me to get rid of it for her.
[17:24] ---
    She used Cuff as leverage to threaten me.
[17:26] ---
    I would do anything for Cuff.
[17:30] ---
    But not this. This is wrong.
[17:35] ---
    There's something in there that
    Daleth wants to keep secret.
[17:39] ---
    I have no idea what it is
    or what page it's on.
[17:43] ---
    But...
[17:44] ---
    ...I'm sure the information
    will be useful to you.
[17:49] ---
    Go ahead and burn it. I don't mind.
[17:51] ---
    Huh?!
[17:53] ---
    I couldn't cause you or Cuff any trouble.
[17:55] ---
    I'd hate it if something bad
    happened to Cuff,
[17:59] ---
    and if someone had used Alice
    as leverage to threaten me,
[18:01] ---
    I'm sure I would've done the same thing.
[18:04] ---
    You guys are dear friends to me,
    so go ahead and burn it.
[18:15] ---
    Aw, what the hay?
[18:17] ---
    Guess I'd better strip to
    the waist and help you out.
[18:20] ---
    Bet you'd like that, you perv!
[18:21] ---
    You're the perv!
[18:23] ---
    Daleth is watching you and Alice.
[18:26] ---
    I bet she's watching us right now.
[18:29] ---
    She uses all sorts of "eyes" in the human
    realm to conduct surveillance.
[18:34] ---
    Surveillance?
[18:35] ---
    That's right. But she can't listen
    in on what we say.
[18:38] ---
    So, what I'm about to tell you now
    is strictly confidential.
[18:41] ---
    There is a way to prevent Cuff from harm
    without destroying this logbook.
[18:45] ---
    Just one, in fact.
[18:46] ---
    Really?
[18:48] ---
    Yeah. Just watch.
[18:51] ---
    I don't much care for my magic,
    so don't ask me to go into details.
[18:55] ---
    Cuff and you are the
    only ones I've shown it to.
[19:01] ---
    Well, since Daleth is watching us now,
    then naturally she's watching this, too.
[19:06] ---
    As long as I've got this tiny scrap,
[19:08] ---
    I can restore what I just
    disintegrated at any time.
[19:11] ---
    In other words,
    the logbook still "exists."
[19:16] ---
    I'll hang on to this until Daleth
    has removed her surveillance.
[19:20] ---
    Is that all right with you?
[19:22] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[19:23] ---
    Please, don't tell anyone
    about my magic, okay?
[19:27] ---
    Well then...
[19:28] ---
    Since Daleth's watching, we've got to
    convince her the logbook's been destroyed.
[19:32] ---
    Okay, pretend you're sad!
[19:35] ---
    Huh?! Um, is this... good?
[19:37] ---
    All right, I guess this'll do.
[19:40] ---
    For making me play your sick errand boy,
[19:42] ---
    I should at least get to squeeze
    one of your boobs, Sister Skeleton.
[19:45] ---
    You sure say some outrageous stuff
    when you know she can't hear you.
[19:50] ---
    So, you took the logbook, Your Grace?
[19:52] ---
    Um, yeah.
[19:54] ---
    I felt like reading it, so I went
    ahead and borrowed it.
[19:57] ---
    I'll return it when I'm done.
[19:58] ---
    All right. What a relief!
[20:00] ---
    It wasn't in my room,
    so I thought I'd lost it.
[20:04] ---
    I can't believe I just lied to Alice.
[20:06] ---
    But I promised to keep Zain's secret.
[20:10] ---
    Hey, Alice?
[20:14] ---
    I'll protect you no matter what.
[20:19] ---
    I'll protect you no matter what.
[20:23] ---
    Oh, my! From what?
[20:25] ---
    Well, I'm not sure, but if somebody
    came along and tried to hurt you...
[20:31] ---
    You're such a wonderful,
    reliable person, Your Grace.
[20:33] ---
    Oh, you're already in danger!
[20:36] ---
    I'm really happy and all,
[20:39] ---
    but please don't go very far, Your Grace.
[20:43] ---
    Of course, I'll stay by your side.
[20:46] ---
    Why don't we have some tea for now?
[20:52] ---
    I wonder what Daleth's
    trying to keep secret.
[20:55] ---
    The reason why I was cursed?
[20:57] ---
    The reason why the witch
    who cursed me died?
[21:00] ---
    Or how to break this curse?
[21:03] ---
    This puzzle's full of missing pieces.
[21:05] ---
    But...
[21:07] ---
    I will find a way to break this curse.
[21:09] ---
    For my sake and Alice's as well...
[21:27] ---
    Does he think he's making fun of me?
[21:32] ---
    He really ticks me off.
[21:34] ---
    But that's okay.
[21:36] ---
    I saw what I wanted to see.
[21:38] ---
    So, I'll leave things the way
    they are for now.
[21:48] ---
    It seems that fate
    and karma really do exist.
[21:53] ---
    Don't you think so?
[21:58] ---
    Don't you, Sharon?
[23:33] ---
    Here's your mail!
[23:34] ---
    Oh!
[23:35] ---
    Thank you.
[23:40] ---
    Hmm?
[23:41] ---
    This is...
[23:44] ---
    This is the first time I've ever
    gotten a letter from Mother.
[23:47] ---
    I wonder what she wants.
[23:52] ---
    What is it?
[23:54] ---
    It's a summons.
[23:55] ---
    She said she needs to talk,
    so she wants me to...
[23:57] ---
    ...go see her at the main house
    in a week's time.

[00:27] ---
    Can you imagine...
[00:30] ---
    ...a life in which you could never
    touch the one you love?
[00:35] ---
    He takes the life of whatever he touches.
[00:38] ---
    That was the curse the witch put on him.
[00:41] ---
    Plants, animals... and people
    are no exception, of course.
[00:46] ---
    Regarding her son, doomed to live his life
    without knowing the warmth of another,
[00:49] ---
    his mother only complained.
[00:52] ---
    "That child is like Death incarnate..."
[00:54] ---
    she said.
[00:59] ---
    I'm actually going to meet Mother?
[01:03] ---
    Good morning, Your Grace.
[01:05] ---
    Alice.
[01:10] ---
    Good morning.
[01:11] ---
    Today's the day you go
    to the main residence.
[01:14] ---
    How are you feeling?
[01:16] ---
    Not so good.
[01:18] ---
    I haven't even broken my curse yet, so I
    don't know what she's going to say.
[01:21] ---
    Everything will be fine.
[01:23] ---
    Your Grace?
[01:25] ---
    Cheer up, now.
[01:28] ---
    You're a bit too close, as usual.
SIGN    Episode 12: 
    Together with the Duke...
[03:04] ---
    I'm feeling a little anxious.
[03:06] ---
    You see, this has never happened before.
[03:09] ---
    I've always let Rob handle the
    correspondence with the main residence.
[03:12] ---
    And did you let him handle going
    to the main residence, as well?
[03:15] ---
    Yeah. It'll be my first time going there
    since coming to live here.
[03:18] ---
    I haven't seen Mother since I was a kid.
[03:22] ---
    I may be scared, but that doesn't
    mean I don't want to see her.
[03:25] ---
    I know what you mean.
[03:27] ---
    But...
[03:32] ---
    ...the truth is...
[03:34] ---
    ...the truth is I wanted to see her
    after I'd broken my curse.
[03:38] ---
    It pains me for her to think that
    nothing has changed since then.
[03:42] ---
    Your Grace...
[03:54] ---
    Looks like it's going to snow again.
[03:57] ---
    You're right.
[04:00] ---
    I wonder if the carriage that's
    coming to get me will be all right.
[04:03] ---
    Your Grace?
[04:04] ---
    Would you mind if I went along
    with you to the main residence?
[04:08] ---
    You? Come with me?
[04:10] ---
    Alice...
[04:20] ---
    Sure enough, it's started snowing.
[04:23] ---
    I wish it would snow hard
    enough to cancel this trip.
[04:29] ---
    I'll go make you some more tea.
[04:35] ---
    My love for Alice hasn't changed.
[04:38] ---
    When I see Mother, I'll tell her about us.
[04:42] ---
    And maybe, one day...
[04:48] ---
    He's gone over to his family's place?
    That's surprising.
[04:51] ---
    Yeah, and Alice is gone, too.
[04:55] ---
    Why did I bother coming here?
[04:57] ---
    Please accept my apologies.
[04:59] ---
    That was close!
[04:59] ---
    However, this is a trial...
[05:01] ---
    Whoa!
[05:02] ---
    ...that His Grace, or rather,
    the two of them...
[05:06] ---
    ...must one day overcome.
[05:21] ---
    What do you remember
    about your family's estate?
[05:25] ---
    My only memories are of playing
    the piano or horsing around.
[05:30] ---
    What about you?
[05:31] ---
    I only remember you, Your Grace.
[05:48] ---
    It certainly is a beautiful place.
[05:54] ---
    You finally made it.
[05:57] ---
    And sure enough, Alice came with you.
[05:59] ---
    You certainly took your
    sweet time getting here.
[06:01] ---
    Sorry. We had to wait out the snowstorm...
[06:04] ---
    What did Mother have to say?
[06:06] ---
    Nothing, really.
[06:08] ---
    She just said you should see her
    as soon as you get here.
[06:11] ---
    You and you alone, Dearest Brother.
[06:12] ---
    Me alone?
[06:15] ---
    I'm going to say hello
    to all of the servants.
[06:19] ---
    Yeah, you should.
[06:20] ---
    I told the maids that you'd
    probably be coming, Alice.
[06:24] ---
    Thank you, Lady Viola.
[06:26] ---
    All right, Your Grace, I'll see you later.
[06:30] ---
    Good luck, Your Grace.
[06:32] ---
    Oh, you're leaving me?
[06:34] ---
    Alice! Oh, my adorable Alice!
[06:37] ---
    Gawd, you're so annoying!
[06:55] ---
    We're here.
[06:57] ---
    This is Mother's room.
[07:01] ---
    I've got something to tell you.
[07:03] ---
    Wh-What is it?
[07:04] ---
    I'm the one who blabbed to Mother
    that Viola had been going to the villa.
[07:09] ---
    That's probably the reason why
    she called you here today.
[07:12] ---
    Hey, don't worry about it.
[07:14] ---
    You're quite a gentleman, Walter.
[07:16] ---
    You've got no business
    giving me compliments!
[07:18] ---
    S-S-Sorry.
[07:19] ---
    Gawd, you're both annoying!
[07:21] ---
    Anyway, go in and see her,
    Dearest Brother.
[07:24] ---
    We'll be here waiting for you.
[07:26] ---
    O-Okay.
[07:30] ---
    Come in.
[07:32] ---
    I hope I'm not disturbing you.
[07:42] ---
    Mother...
[07:43] ---
    It's been a long time, hasn't it?
[07:45] ---
    I-It certainly has.
[07:51] ---
    It's been over ten years since you were
    cursed, and you still haven't broken it?
[07:56] ---
    Forgive me.
[07:57] ---
    It looks like it may
    t-take a little longer.
[08:00] ---
    It's already late,
    so we'll speak tomorrow.
[08:03] ---
    You may stay here tonight.
[08:05] ---
    A-All right.
[08:06] ---
    Um, and...
[08:08] ---
    ...there's something I'd like to tell you.
[08:09] ---
    Didn't you hear me?
[08:11] ---
    We'll speak tomorrow.
[08:14] ---
    Forgive me.
[08:15] ---
    Good night.
[08:25] ---
    Good job!
[08:26] ---
    Mother was feeling kind today.
[08:29] ---
    Yeah.
[08:29] ---
    That was her being kind?!
[08:30] ---
    You're too used to Rob and Alice's
    kindness, Dearest Brother.
[08:34] ---
    That's the trouble with you
    being brought up at the villa.
[08:38] ---
    We'll take you to the guest room.
[08:44] ---
    I couldn't talk to Mother at all.
[08:48] ---
    I wonder how Alice is doing.
[08:51] ---
    Oh, my! Alice, look how much you've grown!
[08:55] ---
    You're a beauty, just like Sharon was.
[08:57] ---
    And that skin tone!
    I'd expect nothing less.
[08:59] ---
    Th-Thank you.
[09:02] ---
    After Sharon passed away and...
[09:05] ---
    ...you were taken in by your relatives,
[09:07] ---
    I constantly worried about
    how you were getting on.
[09:12] ---
    I am so sorry I couldn't
    do anything for you then.
[09:17] ---
    Oh, I see.
[09:19] ---
    My sweet Alice,
[09:22] ---
    I'll protect you no matter what.
[09:25] ---
    I love you!
[09:30] ---
    You're going to stay
    the night, aren't you?
[09:32] ---
    The room that you and your
    mother used back then...
[09:35] ---
    It's all cleaned up nice and proper.
[09:37] ---
    Really?
[09:42] ---
    Sharon?!
[09:45] ---
    Madam? This is Alice, Sharon's daughter.
[09:50] ---
    O-Oh...
[09:52] ---
    ...I see. You're the maid from the villa.
[09:55] ---
    Your black outfit looks like hers, so I...
[09:58] ---
    Please forget about this.
[10:02] ---
    The lady of the house and
    Sharon were very close.
[10:06] ---
    They were both so cheerful. They were
    close in age and shared common interests.
[10:11] ---
    But after Sharon passed away,
[10:13] ---
    the lady of the house started
    acting a bit differently.
[10:18] ---
    Oh, I see.
[10:21] ---
    My sweet Alice,
[10:23] ---
    I love you!
[10:26] ---
    Yes?
[10:29] ---
    Hey there...
[10:30] ---
    Oh, it's you, Your Grace.
[10:32] ---
    I came to see you.
[10:34] ---
    How did things go?
[10:36] ---
    Did the other servants
    give you a hard time?
[10:39] ---
    No, actually they treated me rather well.
[10:41] ---
    They're all such friendly people.
[10:44] ---
    Well, I'm glad to hear that.
[10:46] ---
    What about you, Your Grace?
[10:49] ---
    We only spoke very briefly,
    but Mother hadn't changed at all.
[10:54] ---
    She said we'd talk tomorrow
    because it was so late.
[10:57] ---
    So, you were able to speak
    with her normally, then.
[11:00] ---
    Well, yeah, I guess.
[11:02] ---
    That's great. It makes me so happy.
[11:07] ---
    I know we've only been
    apart for a few hours,
[11:11] ---
    but I just wanted to see you so much.
[11:14] ---
    What would you do...
[11:16] ---
    ...if I told you I did, too?
[11:18] ---
    She's so adorable...
[11:19] ---
    Really, really adorable!
[11:21] ---
    My love for her grows with
    every passing second.
[11:25] ---
    No!
[11:26] ---
    I can't handle this!
[11:27] ---
    After being apart from Alice for just a
    few hours, she is simply too adorable!
[11:29] ---
    I don't think my sanity can
    hold out much longer!
[11:34] ---
    I think I'm going to hit the hay.
[11:35] ---
    Tomorrow Viola's going to take me
    to the place where I was cursed.
[11:40] ---
    Oh, really?
[11:43] ---
    Good night, Alice.
[11:45] ---
    I'm glad we could talk.
[11:46] ---
    Good night, Your Grace.
[12:02] ---
    I wish we could've spent
    a little more time together...
[12:15] ---
    So, what's it like being
    back here after all this time?
[12:19] ---
    Do you remember anything?
[12:22] ---
    Only bits and pieces.
[12:23] ---
    I'm not trying to be rude here, but I find
    the place is smaller than I remember.
[12:27] ---
    When I was a kid,
    it just seemed a lot bigger...
[12:31] ---
    Well, this place looks much
    nicer than the villa does.
[12:35] ---
    I wonder how Rob and Alice look
    after that place all by themselves.
[12:40] ---
    I'm really grateful to them.
[12:42] ---
    Okay, we're here.
[12:44] ---
    This is the spot, right?
[12:49] ---
    One of the servants
    told me about it before.
[12:51] ---
    That you were cursed
    in front of this grave.
[12:56] ---
    There's no doubt about it.
[12:59] ---
    This is the place.
[13:01] ---
    This is where I was...
[13:05] ---
    It was springtime. That day, I was by
    myself, looking for a four-leaf clover.
[13:09] ---
    I was probably going to give it to Alice.
[13:12] ---
    Yeah, yeah. Then what?
[13:15] ---
    Suddenly, there was all this smoke,
    and I couldn't see anything around me.
[13:18] ---
    Somebody grabbed me from behind.
[13:21] ---
    And then...
[13:22] ---
    No one shall love you,
    and you shall love no one.
[13:26] ---
    You shall live a life of misery.
[13:30] ---
    ...before I knew it, I'd been cursed.
[13:33] ---
    I'd almost forgotten about it but
    coming here jogged my memory.
[13:37] ---
    Hmm. Don't you remember anything else?
[13:40] ---
    Um, also...
[13:43] ---
    The softness of her breasts
    pressed against my back...
[13:46] ---
    ...and stuff.
[13:47] ---
    Whatever.
[13:48] ---
    But you know what I heard from Rob?
[13:51] ---
    He said you didn't remember who Alice was.
[13:54] ---
    Why didn't you?
    You've liked her since you were kids.
[13:57] ---
    I think it's probably because...
[13:59] ---
    ...after I was cursed and
    couldn't see her anymore,
[14:02] ---
    I was lonely, and the only way
    to forget about it
[14:04] ---
    was to purge her from my memory.
[14:07] ---
    Hmm. Well, it's great you could
    see her again, huh?
[14:09] ---
    Yep!
[14:10] ---
    Oh, boy...
[14:17] ---
    Oh! Good morning, Mother.
[14:21] ---
    Viola, you're too close to him.
[14:24] ---
    He's dangerous, so stay
    farther away from him.
[14:27] ---
    I see you're wearing those clothes again.
[14:29] ---
    It's disgraceful.
    Think of how it reflects on me.
[14:33] ---
    I'll speak to you during dinner.
[14:36] ---
    Don't be late.
[14:42] ---
    Viola...
[14:43] ---
    It's all right. I'm used to it.
[14:46] ---
    I told you that deep down
    I wanted to live at the villa.
[14:51] ---
    But I guess I can't.
[14:54] ---
    And neither can Walter.
[14:56] ---
    Being born into this family means
    we can't live our own lives.
[15:01] ---
    We live comfortable lives, and our names
    appear on our distinguished family tree.
[15:05] ---
    Oddly enough, you may be the one
    who's better off, Dearest Brother.
[15:09] ---
    "Has anyone ever told you that
    you were someone else's alternate?"
[15:31] ---
    What are you doing? Hurry up and sit down.
[16:02] ---
    What I'd like to talk about...
[16:04] ---
    ...concerns this family.
[16:06] ---
    As you are aware,
[16:08] ---
    the present head of the family,
[16:10] ---
    your father has been hospitalized
    for quite some time.
[16:14] ---
    His condition fluctuates,
    and his prognosis is poor.
[16:18] ---
    If we wait until the worst happens
    to him, it'll be too late.
[16:22] ---
    We must decide ahead of time whether
    you or Walter shall be his heir.
[16:26] ---
    Do you understand?
[16:28] ---
    Yes, I do.
[16:29] ---
    You must break your curse
    by spring at the latest.
[16:32] ---
    If you cannot, then I shall
    make Walter the heir.
[16:35] ---
    Is that clear?
[16:36] ---
    Yes. I'll take care of it
    by spring at the latest.
[16:40] ---
    That is all I have to say.
[16:42] ---
    You may go home when you're done eating.
[16:44] ---
    Mother, I also have something
    I'd like to discuss.
[16:48] ---
    What is it?
[16:50] ---
    It concerns Alice, the maid at the villa.
[16:53] ---
    She's here with me today.
[16:56] ---
    I met her last night.
[16:58] ---
    She's a lovely girl just like Sharon...
    her mother.
[17:01] ---
    D-Darn straight!
[17:04] ---
    Oh, um... excuse me.
[17:07] ---
    I often talked with her mother.
[17:11] ---
    She was a wonderful person,
    always smiling and cheerful.
[17:15] ---
    I still miss her to this day.
[17:17] ---
    But unlike their looks, it appears their
    personalities aren't so similar.
[17:21] ---
    I-I admit Alice is cool and reserved,
    but she's a really great person.
[17:24] ---
    She's attractive and talented! She's got
    cute little mannerisms! She's perfect!
[17:29] ---
    That fast-talking sounds so creepy!
[17:31] ---
    You like her, don't you?
[17:33] ---
    Y-Yeah... That's why I'd like
    your approval, Mother.
[17:37] ---
    Although we come from different classes,
    one day I hope that Alice and I can--
[17:42] ---
    You've got to be joking.
[17:44] ---
    You're still a possible heir
    to the family's title.
[17:48] ---
    Stop talking such nonsense...
[17:49] ---
    ...and just think of a way
    to break your curse.
[17:52] ---
    Since you were born into the aristocracy,
    you aren't free to love whoever you wish.
[17:57] ---
    Particularly not a lowly maid.
[18:00] ---
    Even jokes have their lim--
[18:02] ---
    This is no...
[18:04] ---
    ...joke!
[18:07] ---
    I'm totally serious.
[18:09] ---
    Who could joke about something like
    this or speak of it half-heartedly?
[18:13] ---
    You locked me away in the villa,
[18:15] ---
    and since then, you've never
    even tried getting to know me,
[18:18] ---
    but you're going to shackle my emotions?
[18:21] ---
    You won't even approve
    of me loving Alice?!
[18:25] ---
    Alice always acts as though she
    couldn't care less about my curse!
[18:29] ---
    She treats me like a normal human being!
[18:33] ---
    One's class and lineage...
[18:35] ---
    None of that matters!
[18:37] ---
    The one who saved me from the miserable
    darkness that engulfed me was Alice!
[18:43] ---
    If it wasn't for Alice,
    I'd be long since dead!
[18:47] ---
    Stop thinking only about
    the family and heirs...
[18:50] ---
    ...and spend a little time
    thinking of your children!
[18:54] ---
    I...
[18:56] ---
    I'm marrying Alice!
[19:04] ---
    Walter, Viola, and I are not
    your things, Mother.
[19:13] ---
    I-I'm leaving.
[19:15] ---
    Wait, Dearest Brother.
    I'll see you to the door.
[19:18] ---
    Me, too.
[19:24] ---
    Madam?
[19:26] ---
    Leave them be.
[19:31] ---
    That boy, once so gentle and meek,
[19:35] ---
    actually had the nerve to talk back to me.
[19:39] ---
    My, how he's grown...
[19:48] ---
    I wish I could've said it more skillfully...
[19:51] ---
    You did fine.
[19:52] ---
    It came as a shock, but it was priceless.
[19:56] ---
    Is something the matter, Your Grace?
[19:58] ---
    Oh, it's nothing.
[20:01] ---
    It's just that I didn't care for
    the dinner they served here...
[20:04] ---
    Oh, I see.
[20:06] ---
    Shall we head back to
    your house, Your Grace?
[20:10] ---
    Yeah, let's go. Back to our house.
[20:13] ---
    Yes, Your Grace.
[21:31] ---
    So, the reason the lady of
    the house summoned you...
[21:34] ---
    ...was to tell you to break your
    curse by spring at the latest?
[21:37] ---
    Yeah, and if I can't,
    then Walter inherits the family title.
[21:42] ---
    She made it very clear.
[21:43] ---
    I see.
[21:45] ---
    Well then, since I've gotten rid of all
    my cards, I shall turn in for the night.
[21:50] ---
    Okay, Rob. Thanks for watching
    the house while we were gone.
[21:53] ---
    Get some well-deserved rest.
[21:54] ---
    So, what would you like to do, Your Grace?
[21:56] ---
    Would you like to play some more cards?
[21:58] ---
    Well, if just the two of us play Old Maid,
    we'll know where all the cards are...
[22:04] ---
    Then, what about a different
    form of amusement?
[22:05] ---
    Cards! I want to play cards!
[22:12] ---
    The truth is I told Mother...
[22:14] ---
    ...that I love you.
[22:18] ---
    And what did she say to that?
[22:21] ---
    Nothing, really...
[22:23] ---
    But I don't regret it.
[22:26] ---
    It's something I would've had
    to tell her at some point.
[22:29] ---
    Because regardless of...
[22:31] ---
    ...class or position,
[22:34] ---
    I love you...
[22:41] ---
    Pick a card.
[22:43] ---
    If you pick the king,
    you'll win, Your Grace.
[22:46] ---
    "Both" is not an option.
[22:55] ---
    You win, Your Grace.
[23:00] ---
    This is how it should be.
[23:01] ---
    No, it's not!
[23:05] ---
    You taught me...
[23:09] ---
    ...all sorts of things.
[23:11] ---
    You taught me how to love someone.
[23:14] ---
    I promise you this.
[23:16] ---
    I...
[23:18] ---
    ...will give my love to you
    now and always.
[23:53] ---
    I love you...
[23:56] ---
    ...Your Grace.

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

    The curse the witch laid upon him caused

    How many times do we have to go over this?
[00:32] Zain
    You can't have an omelet without ketchup.
[00:34] Cuff
    It's demi-glace sauce.
[00:35] Cuff
    Why? 'Cause demi-glace sauce tastes good.
[00:37] Zain
    So does ketchup!
[00:41] Duke
    You guys are lucky. You can tell each
    other exactly how you're feeling.
[00:45] Duke
    I'm jealous.
[00:46] Zain
    Huh? If you want to say something
    to Alice, then why don't you say it?
[00:50] Duke
    Hmm? But I'm not really
    upset with her or anything.
[00:56] Alice
    Excuse me.
[01:01] Duke
    Alice...
[01:02] Duke
    Stop being so cute all the time!
[01:06] Alice
    You're so handsome all the time, too.
[01:09] Duke
    That wasn't what I expected

[02:47] Alice
    Oh, Your Grace.
[02:49] Alice
    It's your first time, but you're so good.
[02:52] Duke
    Would you try not to sound so weirdly sexy?
[02:55] Duke
    I'm just playing mini-golf!
[02:57] Alice
    You're wonderful, Your Grace.
[02:59] Duke
    I missed.
[03:01] Alice
    You hit it a little too hard, I see.
[03:03] Duke
    Why golf, though?
[03:06] Alice
    I thought it would serve to fix your lack
    of exercise, and give you a change of pace.
[03:12] Alice
    I just wanted to play with you, Your Grace.
[03:14] Duke
    So cute!
[03:18] Alice
    Let's not worry about the rules.
    Just aim for the flag and hit it.
[03:24] Duke
    That motion has nothing to do with golf!
[03:34] Duke
    Wow!
[03:36] Duke
    Is there anything you can't do?
[03:39] Alice
    Perhaps I'm good at it because
    it's like sweeping with a broom.
[03:44] Alice
    I'll show you the trick, if you like.
[03:46] Duke
    Yes, please.
[03:48] Alice
    Eyes on the ball, and don't look up.
[03:53] Alice
    It will send your swing off target.
[03:54] Duke
    Okay.
[03:57] Alice
    Your Grace.
[03:58] Duke
    What?
[03:59] Alice
    Don't turn around. Just look at the ball.
[04:05] Alice
    When we're so close, it makes me
    feel kind of hot. What about you?
[04:08] Duke
    You're the one who got close to me!
[04:14] Duke
    Don't tell me she's stripping!
[04:17] Alice
    That's not where the ball goes, Your Grace...
[04:21] Duke
    This is a living hell!
[04:23] Duke
    Golf is a scary sport!
[04:24] Alice
    Now try hitting it.
[04:29] Alice
    Don't try to swing hard or soft.
[04:31] Alice
    Just raise the club up and swing
    it through evenly.
[04:33] Alice
    For instance, if you raised it this high,
     swing it through that much.
[04:38] Duke
    Not only did I not get that,
[04:40] Duke
    she was flirting with me as
    casually as if she was breathing.
[04:43] Alice
    Imagine a clock. If you raised it
    to 7 o' clock, swing to 5 'o clock.
[04:48] Alice
    Or 9 to 3.
[04:50] Alice
    Or 12 to 12.
[04:54] Duke
    Okay. I wouldn't swing a
    putter that hard, though.
[05:01] Duke
    Don't look up. Focus on the ball.
[05:05] Duke
    Swing it through as much as you raised it up!
[05:15] Duke
    I did it!
[05:16] Alice
    Wonderful, Your Grace.
[05:17] Duke
    Yeah, it's so nice to learn something new!

[08:45] Viola
    This is hilarious!
[08:47] Viola
    Continue feeling awkward, Brothers!
[08:51] Duke
    U-Um... want to play some golf?
[08:58] Duke
    I'll go first, then.
[09:02] Duke
    Is it true that she's a fan of mine?
[09:04] Duke
    It doesn't sound possible.
[09:08] Walter
    His skills are nothing special.
[09:10] Walter
    If seduction won't work, I'll need
    to think of something else!
[09:14] Alice
    His Grace looks so sexy playing golf!
[09:20] Duke
    Um, you want to go second?
[09:23] Walter
    Second?!
[09:24] Duke
    You can have my second putter.
[09:25] Walter
    Second?!
[09:25] Duke
    And my second ball.
[09:26] Walter
    Second?!
[09:26] Duke
    Sound good?
[09:28] Walter
    Second!
[09:30] Walter
    He's always like this!
[09:31] Walter
    From the very bottom of his heart,
    he mocks me for being the second son!
[09:34] Duke
    Um, you okay?
SIGN    I'm okay.
SIGN    I'm okay.
SIGN    I'm okay.
[09:40] Duke
    "If I get a hole in one,
    please go out with me"?
[09:43] Duke
    Wh... Wh... What?
[09:45] Walter
    Well?
[09:46] Walter
    You may not know me well, but it must
    make you happy to hear that from a girl!
[10:02] Walter
    Distance is 30.
[10:05] Walter
    No wind. Oaken floor.
[10:15] Duke
    "Please marry me like you promised"?
[10:18] Duke
    Marry you? I didn't promise that!
[10:21] Duke
    "It's the same."
[10:23] Duke
    "Let's have the ceremony immediately."
[10:25] Duke
    "Prepare yourself."
[10:26] Duke
    N-No...
SIGN    Let's have the
     ceremony immediately.
SIGN    Prepare yourself.
[10:29] Alice
    No.
[10:31] Alice
    No!
[10:34] Alice
    I'm sorry.
[10:36] Alice
    I forgot my place.
[10:37] Duke
    She's so cute.
[10:38] Duke
    She pulled it over her head...
[10:41] Duke
    Um, I'm sorry if I'm just
    being arrogant here...
[10:46] Duke
    But there's someone I'm in love with,
    so I can't give you what you want.
[10:52] Duke
    I'm willing to be friends, though.
SIGN    Die!
SIGN    Farewell!
SIGN    Farewell!
[11:04] Duke
    Aah!
[11:06] Duke
    Her voice kind of sounded like Walter.
[11:10] Alice
    Did it?
SIGN    Perhaps I wasn't cute enough.
SIGN    Will you instruct me further  in the Viola Method?
[11:22] Viola
    Nope!
[11:41] Cuff
    Don't stare so much, Zain. I'm practicing.
[11:44] Zain
    What's the problem? You're good!
[11:46] Cuff
    Don't! You're distracting me!
[11:48] Hugo
    Cuff! I brought you juice!
[11:52] Zain
    She's practicing.
[11:54] Zain
    Scram, kid. Cuff doesn't like sweet stuff.
[11:56] Cuff
    I love juice!
[11:59] Hugo
    And I love you, Cuff.
[12:03] Zain
    Careful. He might've put
    something weird in it.
[12:06] Hugo
    I did not!
[12:08] Hugo
    Stop acting like her boyfriend!
[12:09] Hugo
    You're not dating, right?
[12:12] Cuff
    We're childhood friends.
[12:14] Zain
    That's right.
[12:15] Zain
    "Cuff said no so fast
[12:16] Zain
    It hurt Zain's feelings really bad
[12:17] Zain
    Now he feels blue
[12:18] Zain
    5-7-5, but not quite"
[12:21] Cuff
    Thanks, Hugo.
[12:23] Hugo
    I'll work hard!
[12:25] Hugo
    I'll be a big man for you, Cuff.
[12:29] Cuff
    You're funny.
[12:32] Zain
    I know Cuff only sees Hugo as a kid.
[12:36] Zain
    But I really do not like this!
[12:40] Ringmaster
    You need to win the heart of your precious
    Cuff soon, or Hugo might take her!
[12:45] Zain
    Ringmaster?
[12:47] Ringmaster
    The customers will be
    here soon. Head backstage.
[12:50] Ringmaster
    We'll start the show like always.
[12:52] Zain
    O-Okay.
[12:55] Ringmaster
    You've got it rough, Cuff.
[12:57] Cuff
    Not at all. Every day is fun.
[13:00] Cuff
    I love the circus!
[13:03] Cuff
    Everyone is always so happy.
[13:04] Ringmaster
    Glad to hear it.
[13:06] Ringmaster
    The circus is the best
    entertainment there is.
[13:08] Ringmaster
    All are welcome, both as
    performers and guests.
[13:11] Ringmaster
    That's why I don't care who you
    are, and I won't ask questions.
[13:16] Ringmaster
    But it sounds like a fun story, so I'm curious.
[13:19] Ringmaster
    Tell me any time you feel like it, I guess.
[13:37] Ringmaster
    The show's about to start.
[13:39] Ringmaster
    Thanks to all your work,
    we've got a packed house today.
[13:43] Ringmaster
    Fun. Fascinating. But safety first.
[13:47] Ringmaster
    Stay sharp out there.
[13:49] All
    Yes, sir!
[13:50] Zain
    Win her heart, he said?
[13:52] Zain
    I just can't find the right time to say it...
[13:55] Zain
    If we stay here in the human world,
[13:57] Zain
    somebody's going to find out
    we're witches eventually.
[13:59] Zain
    Should I just disappear and leave her behind?
[14:03] Zain
    No, but...
[14:05] (Flashback) Cuff
    I don't care if I'm a human or
    a witch... as long as I'm with you.
[14:10] Cuff
    You scared?
[14:12] Cuff
    Don't worry. You've got me,
    the great Cuff, by your side!
[14:16] Zain
    She has no idea what I'm going through.
[14:19] Zain
    Sure, she is cute, but...
[14:22] Cuff
    If you're scared...
[14:24] Cuff
    You can always hold my hand.
[14:30] Zain
    If she's that embarrassed,
    then she shouldn't have offered.
[14:37] Ringmaster
    It's time.
[14:38] Ringmaster
    Cuff, Zain, you okay?
[14:41] Cuff/Zain
    It's a "l-let's do our best" handshake!
[14:51] Zain
    I'm such a wimp.
[14:59] Alice
    Tea is ready, Your Grace.
[15:02] Duke
    Yeah, thanks.
[15:09] Duke
    Where am I?
[15:12] Daleth
    Excuse me. Is this seat taken?
[15:14] Duke
    You're... Daleth?
[15:18] Daleth
    I summoned you because
    I have something to discuss.
[15:22] Daleth
    The real you is unconscious
    in the room you were just in.
[15:26] Alice
    Your Grace?
[15:29] Duke
    Is it my curse you wanted to talk about?
[15:34] Daleth
    That's part of it, but first
    I have a favor I wanted to ask.
[15:39] Daleth
    You see...
[15:40] Duke
    Something feels weird...
[15:42] Daleth
    It seems Alice is concerned
    and poking your cheek.
[15:46] Duke
    She is?
[15:47] Alice
    Your Grace?
[15:48] Duke
    Not the neck, Alice!
[15:52] Duke
    That tickles!
[15:57] Duke
    S-Sorry.
[15:59] Daleth
    It's nice how close you two are.
[16:01] Daleth
    Well, whatever.
[16:03] Daleth
    I want you to try and
    persuade someone for me.
[16:08] Duke
    Persuade?
[16:09] Alice
    Just as you humans all
    excel at different things,
[16:13] Alice
    we witches all have magic we excel at.
[16:17] Alice
    Be it controlling fire or
    causing plants to grow...
[16:21] Alice
    Those are the more common types, of course.
[16:23] Alice
    I'm looking for a witch whose
    powers are more advanced.
[16:27] Alice
    A witch with the power
    to control time itself.
[16:34] Alice
    From the look on your face,
    you know who I'm referring to.
[16:37] Alice
    Yes. Zain is a magical genius.
[16:40] Alice
    But for some reason, he hides it.
[16:45] Alice
    If it weren't for the incident with the
    logbook, I couldn't have been sure.
[16:50] Duke
    She knew...
[16:52] Daleth
    And that's why I want you to ask
    him to use his time magic again.
[16:58] Daleth
    He's so nice... He'd do
    anything a friend asked.
[17:03] Daleth
    How about it?
[17:05] Duke
    I can't do that.
[17:06] Duke
    I don't know about his magic.
[17:09] Duke
    And I certainly can't if there's
    some reason he doesn't use it.
[17:12] Daleth
    Well, I thought you'd say that.
[17:16] Daleth
    He's your friend. I understand.
[17:19] Daleth
    But if you can do what I ask...
[17:22] Daleth
    I'm willing to break your curse.
[17:34] Cuff
    You can't sleep?
[17:36] Zain
    It's nothing. Don't worry about it.
[17:40] Cuff
    We've got another performance tomorrow.
[17:41] Cuff
    Get to sleep soon.
[17:43] Zain
    I will.
[17:46] Zain
    Childhood friends...
[17:53] (Flashback) Zain
    I've heard you're the child
    of a witch and a human!
[17:56] (Flashback) Zain
    I'm Zain. What's your name?
[17:59] (Flashback) Cuff
    I won't give you my name until you
    apologize for throwing that rock.
[18:03] (Flashback) Zain
    I'm sorry.
[18:05] (Flashback) Cuff
    I'm Cuff.
[18:07] (Flashback) Cuff
    Nice to meet you.
[18:09] Zain
    My parents sent me to live
    in the human world so that
[18:12] Zain
    other witches wouldn't try to abuse my power.
[18:15] Zain
    But...
[18:17] Zain
    I still didn't understand the
    power of the magic I had.
[18:28] (Flashback) Zain
    It's just barely alive... but it's
     going to wilt at this rate.
[18:37] (Flashback) Zain
    Leave it to me.
[18:38] (Flashback) Zain
    I'll use my magic to fix it.
[18:41] (Flashback) Cuff
    Magic?
[18:46] (Flashback) Cuff
    It came back to life!
[18:48] (Flashback) Zain
    It's easy, as long as you have my time magic!
[18:52] (Flashback) Cuff
    Wow! You're a genius!
[18:54] (Flashback) Zain
    Yeah! It's a secret to everybody, though!
[18:56] (Flashback) Zain
    I can do this, too!
[19:00] (Flashback) Zain
    I stopped time and moved.
[19:02] (Flashback) Cuff
    Wow!
[19:04] (Flashback) Zain
    I know what color your panties are, too!
[19:06] (Flashback) Zain
    They're white with strawberries on them!
[19:09] (Flashback) Cuff
    You stopped time and looked, huh?
[19:14] Zain
    Cuff called me a genius.
[19:18] Zain
    We became friends and played every day.
[19:24] Zain
    But one day while we were out playing,
[19:27] Zain
    our parents were found
    by human witch-hunters.
[19:34] (Flashback) Zain
    Cuff, don't cry! I'll use my time
    magic to bring them back to life!
[19:41] (Flashback) Cuff
    Can you do that?
[19:43] (Flashback) Zain
    Of course I can! I'm Zain, the magical genius!
[19:49] Zain
    I wanted to see her smile.
[19:52] Zain
    But...
[19:57] Zain
    Even magic that can control time
    can't bring the dead back to life.
[20:03] (Flashback) Zain
    I'm sorry, Cuff. I couldn't
    save them with my magic.
[20:08] (Flashback) Zain
    Time can't change fate.
[20:10] (Flashback) Zain
    I'm sorry... I'm sorry.
[20:14] (Flashback) Zain
    I'm so sorry...
[20:19] (Flashback) Cuff
    Don't say you're sorry...
[20:21] (Flashback) Cuff
    Don't say you're sorry, Zain.
[20:24] Zain
    Ever since that day, I've hated my magic.
[20:30] Zain
    I couldn't even protect Cuff's smile.
[20:36] Duke
    Break my curse? What does that mean?
[20:40] Duke
    Did you curse me in the first place after all?
[20:41] Daleth
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[20:44] Daleth
    What I said before was the truth.
[20:46] Daleth
    The witch who cursed you
    is gone from this world.
[20:49] Daleth
    All I can do is...
[20:52] Duke
    What is this?
[20:54] Daleth
    I called a witch I know who
    excels at breaking curses.
[20:58] Daleth
    I don't know if they'll succeed,
    but it gives you hope, right?
[21:03] Daleth
    They'll arrive in a few days.
[21:05] Daleth
    When they're done, do me that favor, please.
[21:08] Duke
    Wait! You can't do this!
[21:11] Duke
    Tell me! Why do you need
    magic that controls time?
[21:14] Duke
    Who are you?
[21:15] Duke
    At least let me see your face!
[21:18] Daleth
    No. I'm ugly.
[21:28] Duke
    Alice! That's dangerous!
[21:30] Alice
    Oh, Your Grace. You hadn't woken up,
     so I was going to do CPR.
[21:35] Duke
    The second you tried, you'd go to sleep forever!
[21:39] Duke
    R-Right! Daleth told me she
    needed me to do something!
[21:43] Duke
    She said a witch is coming!
[21:45] Alice
    Calm down, Your Grace.
[21:48] Alice
    Is that a business card?
[21:58] Duke
    An octopus?
[22:02] Duke
    Why an octopus?

[00:01] Narrator
    Can you imagine a life where you
    can't even touch the person you love?
[00:09] Narrator
    The curse the witch laid upon him caused
    him to take the lives of any he touched.
[00:14] Narrator
    His own mother distanced herself from him,
    his friends called him a monster...
[00:19] Narrator
    Even people he'd never met spoke of him as
[00:20] Narrator
    "death incarnate that dwells in the forest."
[00:24] Narrator
    And yet, he doesn't feel

[00:35] Alice
    Good morning. Breakfast is ready.
[00:47] Duke
    Alice, why don't you take a break?
[00:50] Duke
    I'll do the cleaning for once.
[00:51] Alice
    But...
[00:53] Duke
    Here, just leave it to me.
[00:59] Duke
    Where did you pull that out from?
[01:01] Duke
    No, I mean, go take a rest!
[01:03] Alice
    There's nothing else for me to do.
[01:05] Duke
    Then relax!
[01:07] Duke
    I know. Don't you have any hobbies?
[01:10] Alice
    You're my hobby.
[01:11] Duke
    Then something you like?
[01:14] Alice
    You're what I like.

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

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

[03:14] Alice
    How do you feel in that mask, Your Grace?
[03:17] Duke
    I like it! It's lighter than the last one!
[03:21] Duke
    During the festival it
    was so heavy I fell over.
[03:25] Alice
    Even at this size, it's okay
    for you to touch people.
[03:30] Duke
    Yeah, but you're so cute!
[03:39] Duke
    We need to find Circus Gemini fast, though!
[03:43] Duke
    Oh, let's ask him!
[03:45] Hugo
    Circus Gemini?
[03:47] Hugo
    It's off today.
[03:49] Duke
    That's fine.
[03:51] Duke
    We're here to see Cuff and Zain.
[03:52] Hugo
    What?
[03:53] Hugo
    Are you going after Cuff, too?!
[03:58] Duke
    You shouldn't get too close to me!
[04:02] Hugo
    You can't threaten me!
[04:05] Duke
    No! I'm cursed!
[04:07] Hugo
    Cursed? Something's wrong with you?
[04:11] Duke
    Yeah.
[04:13] Alice
    Do you know Cuff?
[04:15] Hugo
    Yeah, I'm part of Circus Gemini myself!
[04:18] Hugo
    My name's Hugo!
[04:25] Hugo
    That mask of yours... you're not
    Zain's brother or something, right?
[04:30] Duke
    I'm not, no.
[04:33] Hugo
    Cuff's probably there right now.
[04:52] Alice
    She's beautiful.
[04:53] Duke
    Right?
[04:54] Cuff
    Oh, you came?
[04:57] Cuff
    Welcome to Circus Gemini!
[05:00] Cuff
    Oops! I let go!
[05:02] Cuff
    I guess I almost died!
[05:07] Alice
    So Zain isn't here.
[05:10] Cuff
    Yeah, he went out drinking last
    night and hasn't come back.
[05:13] Cuff
    When he gets back, I'm giving
     him a piece of my mind.
[05:15] Hugo
    You were talking about a curse.
[05:18] Hugo
    What did you mean?
[05:20] Duke
    Um...
[05:22] Duke
    Watch closely.
[05:26] Hugo
    It's really a curse and not
    a magic trick, right?
[05:29] Duke
    Yeah. Scary, right?
[05:31] Hugo
    Why? I'm not scared.
[05:34] Duke
    Really? That's great!
[05:37] Ringmaster
    You're wonderful.
[05:40] Ringmaster
    Having something that makes you
    different makes you unique.
[05:43] Ringmaster
    You should join Circus Gemini.
[05:47] Ringmaster
    Can you really kill people?
[05:50] Ringmaster
    Can you shake my hand?
[05:54] Duke
    Cuff, who is this guy?
[05:56] Cuff
    The Ringmaster.
[06:02] Ringmaster
    If you can't stay here forever,
    then at least 3 days...

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

[00:01] Narrator
    Can you imagine a life where you
    can't even touch the person you love?
[00:09] Narrator
    The curse the witch laid upon him caused
    him to take the lives of any he touched.
[00:14] Narrator
    His own mother distanced herself from him,
    his friends called him a monster...
[00:18] Narrator
    Even people he'd never met
[00:20] Narrator
    spoke of him as "death incarnate

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

[00:01] Narrator
    Can you imagine a life where you
    can't even touch the person you love?
[00:09] Narrator
    The curse the witch laid upon him caused
    him to take the lives of any he touched.
[00:14] Narrator
    His own mother distanced herself from
    him, his friends called him a monster...
[00:19] Narrator
    Even people he'd never met spoke of him as
[00:20] Narrator
    "death incarnate that dwells in the forest."
[00:24] Narrator
    And yet, he doesn't feel
    the least bit lonely.
[00:31] Rob
    I...
[00:36] Rob
    I'm pretty lonely.
[00:44] Rob
    I'm jealous of you two.
[00:48] Rob
    You have a family.
[00:53] Duke
    It's been four days, huh?
[00:55] Duke
    I didn't think we'd spend
    that much time at the circus.
[00:59] Alice
    Rob must be worried.
[01:02] Duke
    I hope Rob didn't decide to clean my room.
[01:07] Duke
    He puts away things I need, you see.
[01:09] Alice
    I cleaned it before we left, so it's fine.
[01:14] Alice
    I moved what you were
    hiding under the bed, too.
[01:19] Duke
    I don't hide anything under there.
[01:22] Duke
    I don't, right?
[01:24] Duke
    Alice?

    Why are you grinning, Alice?

[03:00] Duke
    We're back!
[03:02] Rob
    Y-Young Master!
[03:04] Rob
    I'm so glad... so glad you're safe!
[03:07] Duke
    Don't try to give me a hug! It's dangerous!
[03:10] Alice
    Sorry we were away for so long.
[03:12] Rob
    No, it's a butler's job to watch
    the house while the master's away.
[03:18] Rob
    Now once again...
[03:20] Rob
    Welcome home, Young Master, Alice...
[03:24] Duke
    We're back, Rob!
SIGN    I've finished my studies for the day.
SIGN    General education, politics, economics,
SIGN    linguistics, music lessons, golf lessons...
SIGN    I'm having no issues with any of them.
[03:41] Mother
    I see.
[03:51] Walter
    By spring, the eldest will have
    lost his right to be heir,
[03:56] Walter
    and I will be the one to
    inherit this household.
[03:59] Walter
    But that's not good enough.
[04:01] Walter
    I need to show that I'm better than him!
[04:05] Walter
    I need to make Mother realize
    that I'm worthy to be heir.
[04:11] Walter
    But there's no time left until spring.
[04:14] Walter
    What do I do?
[04:16] Walter
    Perhaps I could work on my makeup
    and try Operation Honeytrap 2?
[04:21] Walter
    No... I hate the number two!
[04:26] Viola
    Hey, Brother Walter.
SIGN    Oh, Vio...la?!
[04:32] Viola
    You said I've gained weight?
[04:34] Viola
    Nah, you're just trying to get
    your hands on my macarons.
[04:38] Viola
    You can't have even a single one!
SIGN    Look at your poor stockings!
SIGN    There's fat spilling out!
[04:45] Viola
    Shut up. Don't be so loud.
[04:48] Viola
    Who cares if I put on some weight?
[04:51] Viola
    I'm a growing girl!
SIGN    I'm worried you'll damage your  health by putting on weight!
SIGN    If you can't control yourself, you'll have  no choice but to be your mother's slave!
SIGN    And...
SIGN    I'd assume Rob likes thin girls.
SIGN    Probably.
[05:10] Viola
    I guess it's time for a diet!
[05:12] Viola
    I'll cut out snacks, count calories...
[05:16] Viola
    But what do I do to exercise?
SIGN    I'm no expert, so I can only  tell you what I've heard.
SIGN    Do basic full body stretches consistently.
SIGN    Lift weights and engage in  other anaerobic exercises.
SIGN    Add in walking and other aerobic exercises.
SIGN    Cut calories to a reasonable extent...
[05:34] Viola
    I want a mille-feuille!
[05:36] Viola
    I want a kouglof!
SIGN    You just started a diet a second ago!
[05:40] Viola
    There are a few advantages to
    packing on some pounds, you know.
[05:44] Viola
    See? I've got boobs!
SIGN    Touch them while you can. Once you  lose weight, they'll disappear.
SIGN    Good idea, Viola!
SIGN    Each time you kick me, it burns calories!
SIGN    More! Kick me!
SIGN    Now hit me! Hard!
SIGN    Good! Good!
SIGN    Good! Good!
[06:05] Viola
    Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen...
[06:09] Viola
    I can't do it anymore.
[06:10] Viola
    Weightlifting's the most
    boring thing in the world.
SIGN    Just at first!
SIGN    When you get used to it, it's fun.
[06:15] Viola
    Don't sit in front of me.
[06:18] Viola
    Don't look at me.
[06:22] Viola
    No more! I'm tired! I can't go on!
SIGN    Legs up high! Move your arms! Back straight!
[06:29] Viola
    But I can't...
SIGN    Nobody will listen to your romantic  advice if you don't straighten up!
SIGN    Get to work!
[06:41] Viola
    Shut up!
[06:43] Viola
    Forget the diet!
[06:45] Viola
    Rob will understand even if I'm a bit chubby!
SIGN    I don't want you to give up.
SIGN    It's easy to just go with  the flow. It feels good.
SIGN    But there are times when you have to hang  in there if you want to change something.
SIGN    I know that you work harder  than anybody, Viola!
[07:11] (Flashback) Walter
    What's wrong, Viola?
[07:13] (Flashback) Viola
    Mom got mad and said I had to play
    as good as my eldest brother!
[07:19] (Flashback) Walter
    Him again?
[07:21] (Flashback) Viola
    Dear Brother Walter, I'll do my best until
    I can play good, so practice with me!
SIGN    You're a person who can work  hard when nobody's watching.
SIGN    So don't give up.
SIGN    Don't let your laziness win!
SIGN    You can do it! I know you can!
SIGN    You can do it, Viola!
SIGN    You can do it, Viola!
SIGN    You can do it, Vio...la!
[07:43] Viola
    Fine!
[07:45] Viola
    I'll do my best, for Rob.
[07:47] Viola
    So leave me alone for a little.
SIGN    Of course. I'll be cheering you on!
SIGN    I won't lose either...
SIGN    I need to prove that I'm better  than my clueless eldest brother!
SIGN    I could go into town!
[08:11] Duke
    Look at all this junk.
[08:14] Duke
    Is there more here than there used to be?
[08:16] Rob
    I can't throw away a gift, you see.
[08:19] Duke
    True, some of this I gave to you...
[08:24] Alice
    There really is a lot here.
[08:32] Rob
    Look at this, Alice!
[08:35] Rob
    Ta-dah!
[08:36] Rob
    A collection of illustrations that the Young
    Master drew when he was little!
[08:40] Duke
    Why do you have that?
[08:42] Alice
    I'd love to see it.
[08:44] Rob
    Then you may have it.
[08:48] Duke
    Don't give her that! That's mine!
[08:51] Alice
    Should I give it back to you?
[08:54] Duke
    Y-You can have it, Alice!
[08:57] Alice
    Thank you!
[08:58] Rob
    He's always so easily persuaded.
[09:00] Duke
    You don't get to talk!
[09:04] Duke
    I have gifts for you from Circus Gemini!
[09:08] Rob
    From the Circus?
[09:10] Rob
    I've never even met them. That's so kind!
[09:14] Duke
    First, from the Ringmaster,
    tickets to the circus.
[09:17] Duke
    From Hugo, a signed bottle cork.
[09:20] Duke
    He was telling me that he'll be the
    greatest entertainer in the world someday,
[09:24] Duke
    and it'll be worth something then.
[09:26] Rob
    I'll look forward to that!
[09:27] Duke
    Cuff gave you this rock
    that looks like a cat.
[09:30] Duke
    She said she liked it and
    was carrying it for a while,
[09:33] Duke
    but she'd make a special gift of it for you.
[09:35] Rob
    What a kind soul!
[09:37] Duke
    The other members of the circus gave me a
    bunch of stuff too, so I brought it all!
[09:41] Rob
    It's all wonderful. I love it.
[09:45] Duke
    And from Zain, a small spyglass.
[09:49] Duke
    It's light and might be
    good for birdwatching.
[09:53] Duke
    What's this?
[09:55] Alice
    Can you see?
[09:56] Duke
    You're all I can see...
[09:59] Alice
    I have a gift for you as well, Rob.
[10:02] Rob
    What could it be?
[10:03] Alice
    Coffee beans. I'm sorry it's not
    as interesting as the others.
[10:07] Duke
    Why are you apologizing? You're cute,
     so everything you do is okay!
[10:12] Duke
    And I got you a new chessboard!
[10:15] Duke
    Well? Do you like it?
[10:17] Rob
    Oh!
[10:18] Rob
    My deepest gratitude to you two
    and the members of the circus!
[10:24] Rob
    I'm a happy man.
[10:27] Duke
    That's great!
[10:28] Duke
    Hey, why don't we play a game of chess?
[10:31] Rob
    Oh, of course.
[10:33] Alice
    I'll prepare some sweet snacks.
[10:35] Rob
    Thank you.
[10:45] Rob
    Perhaps it seems...
[10:48] Rob
    I'm not as lonely as I thought.
[10:52] Rob
    I really am a lucky man.
[11:20] Cuff
    They kissed!
[11:22] Cuff
    Did you see that, Hugo?
[11:24] Hugo
    Yeah! They're so cute!
[11:26] Zain
    Hmph. There goes our time alone.
[11:30] Zain
    I was supposed to go on a date today,
[11:32] Zain
    but the ringmaster wants me
    to find an idea for a new act,
[11:36] Zain
    and a third wheel decided to tag along.
[11:40] Zain
    This was supposed to be
    our first official date,
[11:42] Zain
    but it's not romantic at all.
[11:43] Zain
    It really is a date, right?
[11:46] Zain
    There's nothing exciting
    about looking at animals.
[11:48] Hugo
    Here!
[11:52] Zain
    Well, I guess it's not that bad.
[11:55] Zain
    I don't know what Daleth is
    going to do next, though.
[12:00] Zain
    I used my time magic, like she wanted.
[12:05] Zain
    But what is she after, anyway?
[12:08] Zain
    How does she benefit from me using my magic?
[12:13] Zain
    She'd said something about waking Alice's
    mother up from her slumber, I guess.
[12:17] Zain
    But I can't trust that.
[12:22] Cuff
    What are you frowning at?
[12:25] Cuff
    Let's look at the animals together, Zain!
[12:27] Zain
    Sure thing!
[12:28] Zain
    Can I give you a hug?
[12:30] Hugo
    Stop right there, sex monster!
[12:32] Hugo
    Come on, to the next area!
[12:34] Zain
    Ow...
[12:50] Cuff
    Look, Zain!
[12:52] Cuff
    They like me!
[12:57] Hugo
    Stop looking at Cuff with
    those dirty eyes of yours!
[13:00] Zain
    Stop hitting me all the time!
[13:03] Zain
    I'm her boyfriend, you know.
[13:04] Hugo
    You were only able to ask her
    out because I gave you a push.
[13:08] Zain
    I am grateful for that.
[13:10] Zain
    Thanks!
[13:11] Cuff
    Aw, you're so cute!
[13:13] Hugo
    I'm not going to get in your way,
[13:16] Hugo
    but I like Cuff, too.
[13:18] Hugo
    And I don't have anybody else to play with.
[13:21] Zain
    What about your pickpocketing buddies?
[13:23] Hugo
    I cut ties with them a long time ago.
[13:25] Hugo
    Some of them are mad at me for leaving,
[13:30] Hugo
    but I don't care anymore!
[13:32] Hugo
    So let me hang out with you
    guys once in a while, okay?
[13:35] Hugo
    And take good care of Cuff.
[13:37] Zain
    Yeah, I sure will.
[13:46] Hugo
    The lion cage!
[13:47] Cuff
    What?
[13:49] Cuff
    Zain, did you know they call the
    lion the king of the beasts?
[13:54] Zain
    You're really smart, Cuff.
[13:57] Zain
    This sure is popular, though.
[13:59] Zain
    We can barely see anything.
[14:03] Zain
    Here.
[14:04] Zain
    Now you can see, right?
[14:06] Hugo
    Yeah! Thanks, Zain!
[14:08] Hugo
    Huh?
[14:09] Zain
    What's wrong?
[14:10] Hugo
    Nothing, just... I've
    never seen a lion before.
[14:13] Hugo
    Is that really a lion?
[14:22] Hugo
    "Lion the red panda, everybody's friend."
[14:27] Zain
    Don't give the animals confusing names!
[14:32] Hugo
    Are you going to see Alice and the Duke?
[14:35] Zain
    Yeah, the circus is closed tomorrow.
[14:39] Zain
    We need to go see them
    when we've got a chance.
[14:41] Cuff
    I want to talk with Alice a whole bunch!
[14:44] Hugo
    Okay, I won't bother you guys anymore!
[14:49] Hugo
    See you tomorrow, Cuff!
[14:51] Hugo
    Zain, don't get too out of control!
[14:53] Hugo
    Bye!
[14:55] Zain
    What was that supposed to mean?
[14:59] Cuff
    Our date was a lot of fun, right, Zain?
[15:02] Zain
    Can I kiss you?
[15:03] Cuff
    No.
[15:04] Zain
    Let me feel your tits, then.
[15:09] Hugo
    You ruined it, Zain.
[15:12] Hugo
    You're such a dork.
[15:40] (Flashback) Daleth
    You saw!
[15:43] Daleth
    Somebody saw my face...
[15:46] Daleth
    And after I worked so hard to hide it!
[15:49] Daleth
    This ugly face...
[15:53] Daleth
    These wounds that even magic can't heal...
[15:57] Daleth
    Do you understand how lonely I am,
[16:03] Daleth
    my sister?
[16:09] Zain
    Man, just our luck.
[16:12] Cuff
    It was a clear sky.
[16:13] Cuff
    I didn't expect it to
    suddenly become a blizzard.
[16:16] Zain
    I guess the weather changes
    easily on the mountain.
[16:19] Zain
    And I was looking forward to seeing Alice.
[16:23] Cuff
    Yeah.
[16:24] Cuff
    We won't be able to make it like this.
[16:27] Zain
    I'd like to go back to town when it stops,
[16:30] Zain
    but I guess we'll have
    to stay here for a while.
[16:35] Zain
    Take my jacket.
[16:37] Cuff
    No, I'm not cold.
[16:40] Zain
    No, I can see through your clothes!
[16:43] Zain
    Or can I stare?
[16:46] Cuff
    Of course not.
[16:48] Cuff
    I'll use magic to dry it.
    I don't need your jacket.
[16:56] Cuff
    It's been a while since it's
    been just the two of us.
[16:59] Zain
    Yeah.
[17:01] Zain
    Hugo or somebody else from
    the circus is always around.
[17:05] Cuff
    Our first night...
[17:06] Zain
    ...together as lovers.
[17:08] Cuff
    So romantic.
[17:10] Zain
    So hot.
[17:12] Cuff
    Zain, since we're alone, why don't we do
    something only the two of us could do?
[17:16] Zain
    Something sexy?
[17:17] Cuff
    No. I'll hit you again if you keep that up.
[17:19] Zain
    Be gentle, at least!
[17:21] Cuff
    Just watch.
[17:23] Cuff
    Guess what this animal is.
[17:26] Zain
    A fox?
[17:27] Zain
    I remember this.
[17:28] Zain
    We used to play this game all
    the time when we were kids.
[17:31] Cuff
    Yeah.
[17:32] Cuff
    Let's play some more.
[17:39] Song
    When you remember an old story
[17:49] Song
    Magic animals come dancing out of nowhere
[17:56] Song
    Let's draw them with shimmering flames
[18:02] Song
    Foxes, lions, red pandas
[18:03] Zain
    Camel, hippo...
[18:05] Zain
    And that's a monkey and a bird?
[18:08] Song
    Camels, zebras, monkeys and hippos
[18:08] Zain
    Those are all animals we saw today.
[18:11] Cuff
    I thought I'd draw them while
    I still remembered them.
[18:14] Cuff
    What's this, then?
[18:14] Song
    All glowing with gentle light
[18:18] Zain
    It's Alice!
[18:19] Song
    I'm not lonely, because I'm not alone
[18:19] Zain
    Ow!
[18:21] Cuff
    Why would you touch it?
[18:23] Zain
    I couldn't help myself.
[18:24] Cuff
    Zain, when we were at the zoo, you
    were thinking about Daleth, right?
[18:26] Song
    If together, we can bring light
[18:30] Song
    Bring hope to a place with nothing at all
[18:31] Zain
    Yeah, a little.
[18:34] Zain
    I'm wondering what her next move is.
[18:37] Song
    we can do anything
[18:38] Cuff
    Don't worry.
[18:39] Cuff
    If something happens,
    I'll protect you with my magic.
[18:42] Zain
    It's the other way around. I'll protect you.
[18:43] Song
    We'll always be together
[18:45] Cuff
    Okay.
[18:46] Cuff
    I'll protect everyone, then.
[18:50] Cuff
    Do you regret using your time magic?
[18:55] Zain
    No.
[18:56] Zain
    I did it to protect you.
[18:59] Zain
    My weird feelings about it all disappeared.
[19:02] Cuff
    I see.
[19:04] Zain
    I won't know if I can do it until I try,
[19:06] Zain
    but I'm thinking of going back in time to
    stop the curse from being placed on him.
[19:12] Cuff
    Can you do that?
[19:14] Zain
    Like I said, I won't know till I try.
[19:17] Zain
    I wasn't able to bring our
    parents back to life, after all.
[19:21] Zain
    You can't change fate.
[19:25] Zain
    But...
[19:26] Zain
    If his curse isn't fate,
[19:29] Zain
    then there's a chance.
[19:32] Cuff
    I'm not sure I really understand.
[19:34] Cuff
    But okay.
[19:35] Zain
    The biggest problem is that we'll have to
    fight the person who put the curse on him.
[19:40] Zain
    Daleth's sister, Sade.
[19:45] Zain
    Whether we can beat the one that they called
    the strongest, most terrible Witch...
[19:50] Cuff
    Don't worry! I'll get stronger!
[19:54] Cuff
    So don't worry about it,
    no matter who I'm facing.
[19:57] Zain
    I'm so proud I could cry.
[20:00] Zain
    Can I kiss you?
[20:02] Cuff
    No.
[20:04] Cuff
    They're dear friends.
[20:07] Cuff
    I want to break the curse as soon as I can.
[20:11] Zain
    Yeah.
[20:12] Zain
    And we have to repay the ringmaster
    and the others, little by little.
[20:17] Cuff
    Hey, Zain.
[20:18] Zain
    What?
[20:24] Cuff
    If the blizzard never stopped, ever,
[20:27] Cuff
    and it was just the two
    of us alone forever...
[20:29] Cuff
    What would you do?
[20:39] Zain
    D-Don't be stupid!
[20:41] Zain
    It'll clear up by morning, and then
    we can head back to town!
[20:44] Cuff
    Yeah. You're right.
[20:47] Zain
    If... If the blizzard
    really never did stop...
[20:53] Zain
    I'd... work up the courage, and...
[21:00] Cuff
    Look, Zain!
[21:02] Cuff
    I cleared up after all!
[21:04] Zain
    Yeah.
[21:06] Zain
    Of course it did, yeah.
[21:09] Cuff
    I'm hungry. Let's go home and eat.
[21:12] Zain
    Right, right.
[21:18] Zain
    What was that for?
[21:20] Cuff
    I'm not sure when we'll
    be alone together again.
[21:25] Zain
    But you get mad when I try to touch you!
[21:28] Cuff
    What, did it make you upset?
[21:29] Zain
    No, it made me really happy!
[21:32] Zain
    Do it again sometime...
[23:07] Viola
    My diet's complete!
[23:10] Viola
    Time to eat some macarons as a
    reward for losing weight!
SIGN    You'll just go back to how you were, right?
[23:16] Viola
    It's just one!
[23:20] Viola
    Hey, Dear Brother, thanks for inspiring me.
[23:26] Viola
    Here. I'll give you one. Just one.
SIGN    No thanks.
SIGN    I'm trying to avoid sweets.
[23:32] Viola
    Jerk!

[00:01] Narrator
    Can you imagine a life where you
    can't even touch the person you love?
[00:09] Narrator
    The curse the witch laid upon him caused
    him to take the lives of any he touched.
[00:14] Narrator
    His own mother distanced herself from him,
    his friends called him a monster...
[00:19] Narrator
    Even people he'd never met spoke of him as
[00:20] Narrator
    "death incarnate that dwells in the forest."
[00:24] Narrator
    And yet, he doesn't feel
    the least bit lonely.
[00:30] Duke
    Wow, a string telephone!
[00:32] Duke
    I remember these!
[00:34] Duke
    We used to play with these all
    the time when we were kids!
[00:37] Alice
    With this, I can speak to you
    even when I'm in the next room.
[00:44] Alice
    I'll give it a try.
[00:49] Alice
    For my first time with Your Grace, I'll...
[01:01] Alice
    Did you hear what I said?
[01:03] Duke
    I can't say it with my own lips.
[01:06] Alice
    Then it worked!

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

[00:01] Narrator
    Can you imagine a life where you
    can't even touch the person you love?
[00:09] Narrator
    The curse the witch laid upon him caused
    him to take the lives of any he touched.
[00:14] Narrator
    His own mother distanced herself from him,
    his friends called him a monster...
[00:19] Narrator
    Even people he'd never met spoke of him as
[00:20] Narrator
    "death incarnate that dwells in the forest."
[00:24] Narrator
    And yet, he doesn't feel
    the least bit lonely.
[00:31] Zain
    Cuff, you're a pretty good cook.
[00:34] Cuff
    Am I?
[00:38] Zain
    You can make it for me the rest
    of your life, if you want.
[00:42] Zain
    Ooh, that sounded kind of
    like a marriage proposal!
[00:46] Cuff
    No, that'd be a lot of work.
[00:49] Zain
    Oh...

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

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

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

    Can you imagine a life where you
    can't even touch the person you love?
[00:09] Narrator
    The curse the witch laid upon him caused
    him to take the lives of any he touched.
[00:14] Narrator
    His own mother distanced herself from him,
    his friends called him a monster...
[00:19] Narrator
    Even people he'd never met spoke of him as

    The Duke, Alice, and the Wizardry School
[02:01] Duke
    Wizardry school...
[02:04] Duke
    I didn't know there was such a thing.
[02:07] Alice
    Cuff and Zain said they were going.
[02:09] Alice
    What about you?
[02:11] Duke
    Of course, I'm going.
[02:13] Duke
    I'll go anywhere if it'll
    help break the curse.
[02:16] Duke
    I agree with Nico's plan to go back
    into the past with Zain's magic, too.
[02:21] Duke
    But...
[02:23] (Flashback) Nico
    ...and kill Sade again.
[02:27] Duke
    I don't want to kill Sade.
[02:30] Duke
    I want to talk with him about that.
[02:32] Alice
    I'll go with you.
[02:34] Duke
    I'll be glad to have you with me.
[02:35] Duke
    I feel bad that Rob has to stay home, though.
[02:40] Duke
    They'll teach us about magic
    and witches at the school, too.
[02:45] Duke
    If I'm going to be friends with Sade,
    I want to know about those things, too.
[02:49] Alice
    Yes.
[02:50] Alice
    And more than anything, I'm happy
    I'll get to go to school with you.
[02:55] Duke
    She's so cute!
[03:01] Alice
    What's wrong?
[03:03] Duke
    It's got something about Sade.
[03:06] Alice
    That's my mother's handwriting.
[03:08] Duke
    Sharon wrote this?
[03:09] Alice
    "Whassup!"
[03:10] Alice
    "It's me, Sharon, and I'm on
    journal duty for the day!"
[03:13] Sharon
    Sade came to the mansion today,
    so we talked for a little!
[03:17] Sharon
    She's a nun, but she knows all about
    fortune-telling and feng-shui!
[03:22] Alice
    "Sade was able to tell me everything
    about my past and what I was thinking,
[03:26] Alice
    and I was like, 'Wow, are you,
    like, psychic or something?'"
[03:30] Alice
    The end.
[03:30] Duke
    It's less like a servant's journal
    and more like her own picture diary.
[03:35] Alice
    That's just like my mother.
[03:36] Alice
    But from the sound of it,
    she and Sade were friends.
[03:40] Duke
    Yeah.
[03:41] Duke
    But Sharon was cursed, and put to sleep...
[03:46] Duke
    There's not much else here.
[03:48] Duke
    What in this did Daleth want to hide?
[03:53] Duke
    You're close! You're always close!
[03:55] Alice
    You looked so handsome when
    you were lost in thought.
[03:58] Duke
    You don't know how much that scares me!
[04:01] Duke
    I still can't guess what you're
    going to do sometimes.
[04:05] Alice
    Sade was able to tell me everything
    about my past and what I was thinking.
[04:12] Duke
    Nico said the same thing...
[04:15] Duke
    That Sade knew everything
    they were going to do.
[04:20] Duke
    Maybe Sade can read minds?
[04:24] Duke
    It's possible.
[04:26] Duke
    She's a magical genius.
[04:28] Duke
    Maybe she read minds,
    just like Zain can control time.
[04:35] Duke
    I'll ask Daleth.
[04:37] Duke
    If she was that powerful with
    magic and could read minds...
[04:42] Duke
    Yes, she'd be unstoppable.
[04:45] Duke
    Really... I can't guess
    what she'll do at all!

    You're not ugly.

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

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

    Can you imagine a life where you
    can't even touch the person you love?
[00:09] Narrator
    The curse the witch laid upon him caused
    him to take the lives of any he touched.
[00:15] Narrator
    His own mother distanced herself from him,
    his friends called him a monster...
[00:19] Narrator
    Even people he'd never met
[00:20] Narrator
    spoke of him as "death incarnate

[00:37] Duke
    They saw things differently than we did,
[00:38] Duke
    but we still decided to join

    Since we both shared the same goal:
    changing the past.

    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.

    Sarah, do it.

    In other words, she's a healing wizard.

    You know, "Put some saliva on it,

    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!

[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?!

[00:01] 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.
[00:44] (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.

[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—

    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?

    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

SIGN    Episode 28
    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.

[00:01] 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.
[00:35] 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?

[00:02] Narr
    Can you imagine a life where you
    can't even touch the person you love?
[00:10] Narr
    The curse the witch laid upon him caused
    him to take the lives of any he touched.
[00:16] Narr
    Plants, animals... and of
    course, humans, as well.
[00:20] Narr
    He was still alive, and yet cut
    off forever from human warmth.
[00:24] Narr
    And his mother said...
[00:27] (Flashback) Gerbera
    That child is like death incarnate.
[00:29] Narr
    ...of him.
[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.

[00:01] 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
[00:22] Narr
    "death incarnate that dwells in the forest."
[00:24] Narr
    And yet, he doesn't feel
    the least bit lonely.
[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?

    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!

    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.

    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
    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.
[00:30] (Flashback) Duke
    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

    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!

[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.
[00:34] 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.

    Yes, 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...

    Maybe it's too late.

    What's going on?

    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.

[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.

    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.

[00:26] 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!

    how little time we'll have together.
[04:38] Daleth
    I love you, Sade.
[04:40] Sade
    Me too, Daleth.
[04:42] Sade

    Sister...

    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!

    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.
