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

    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.
SIGN    The Duke of Death and His Maid
