Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [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! [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.
