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