[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?

    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.

     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?
