[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.
[00:15] 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
    that dwells in the forest."
[00:24] Narrator
    And yet, he doesn't feel
    the least bit lonely.
[00:32] Sharon
    What a great nap!
[00:34] Duke
    The sudden appearance of two wizards...
[00:37] Duke
    They saw things differently than we did,
[00:38] Duke
    but we still decided to join
    their wizardry school.
[00:42] Duke
    Since we both shared the same goal:
    changing the past.
[00:46] Sade
    Let me come, too!

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