[00:27] ---
    Can you imagine...
[00:30] ---
    ...a life in which you could
    never touch the one you love?
[00:35] ---
    He takes the life of whatever he touches.
[00:38] ---
    That was the curse the witch put on him.
[00:41] ---
    Plants, animals... and people
    are no exception, of course.
[00:46] ---
    Regarding her son, doomed to live his life
    without knowing the warmth of another,
[00:49] ---
    his mother only complained.
[00:52] ---
    "That child is like Death incarnate..."
[00:54] ---
    she said.
[00:59] ---
    The outfit you have on today
    looks very nice on you, Your Grace.
[01:04] ---
    I love the way you
    compliment me every day...
[01:07] ---
    Alice, don't you get sick of wearing
    that maid uniform day after day?
[01:11] ---
    Shall I supply you with some new ones?
[01:13] ---
    Well, actually, I change every day.
[01:15] ---
    You do?
[01:16] ---
    Sometimes it's skimpy, sometimes
    it's lace, sometimes it's frilly...
[01:20] ---
    Would you care to have a look?
[01:21] ---
    I wasn't talking about your underwear...
[01:23] ---
    And besides,
    you're already showing it off!
SIGN    Episode 5:
    The Duke, a Crow, and Ice Skating
[02:55] ---
    Yoo-hoo!
[02:58] ---
    Dearest Brother!
[02:59] ---
    The extraordinarily cute
    Little Miss Viola...
[03:02] ---
    ...has deigned to pay you a vi-zit?!
[03:05] ---
    R-R-R-R-Rob, um, uh, h-how dew ya dew?
[03:08] ---
    How long has it been, Lady Viola?
[03:11] ---
    Um, uh...
[03:12] ---
    She's always super nervous around him...
[03:14] ---
    I shall bring you some tea now.
[03:18] ---
    Th-Th-Th-Thank you!
[03:19] ---
    I-I'm fine with rainwater or whatever,
    so please don't go out of your way for me!
[03:23] ---
    Oh, he's looking
    totally dreamy again today...
[03:25] ---
    I simply adore you, Rob...
[03:27] ---
    You're such a panther.
[03:27] ---
    Oh, be quiet.
[03:30] ---
    I am not a panther.
[03:32] ---
    It's just that the guy I've fallen for
    happens to be much, much older than me.
[03:35] ---
    Isn't that what society calls a "panther"?
[03:38] ---
    Whatever.
[03:39] ---
    Boys my age act so childish,
    I'll have nothing to do with them.
[03:43] ---
    But Rob's a servant...
[03:46] ---
    You're one to talk!
[03:48] ---
    Is something the matter?
[03:50] ---
    Oh, sweets!
[03:52] ---
    I also brought you the tea
    that Rob made for you.
[04:00] ---
    Mmm! This is great!
[04:03] ---
    Come to think of it,
    I wonder what kind of girl Alice is...
[04:07] ---
    I'd better see for myself.
[04:11] ---
    While I enjoy the sweets
    you make, Alice...
[04:14] ---
    ...I find there's something
    lacking in you as a maid.
[04:24] ---
    And that is, you've got
    virtually no charm!
[04:27] ---
    While you may have a somewhat
    pretty face and huge boobs...
[04:31] ---
    Do you mind if I give them
    a little squeeze?
[04:34] ---
    Be my guest.
[04:37] ---
    Darn, they're soft...
[04:40] ---
    But I digress...
[04:42] ---
    You're a bit lacking in
    the human appeal department.
[04:45] ---
    I'll teach you what charm is
    using the Viola Method. Okay?
[04:49] ---
    What the heck is she doing?
    It makes me jealous.
[04:55] ---
    The Viola Method Charm School!
[04:57] ---
    "How to Make a Cute Face, Pt. 1."
[05:00] ---
    Blend into the wall,
    Dearest Brother, and don't move!
[05:04] ---
    Okay, okay...
[05:05] ---
    When it comes to charm,
    it's all in the face!
[05:07] ---
    In a nutshell, all you've
    got to do is play the cutesy girl.
[05:11] ---
    With women it goes down like
    a lead balloon, but it's loads of charm.
[05:15] ---
    Well? Think you can do it, Alice?
[05:18] ---
    I wonder how she'll react.
[05:20] ---
    A cool girl would probably
    object to doing this.
[05:23] ---
    You look awfully charming, Lady Viola.
[05:27] ---
    Please do teach me as well.
[05:29] ---
    You're such a good girl!
[05:31] ---
    Okay, I'll make an exception in your case.
[05:31] ---
    My sister's so gullible.
[05:34] ---
    Make a duck face!
[05:35] ---
    Tilt your head slightly to one side!
[05:37] ---
    Hide the contours of your face
    with your hands!
[05:39] ---
    Look upwards!
[05:40] ---
    Hey, you're forgetting
    to make a duck face!
[05:42] ---
    How much longer are they
    going to keep this up?
[05:45] ---
    Dearest Brother,
    you can turn and face us now.
[05:47] ---
    Oh?
[05:48] ---
    How's this?
[05:49] ---
    I'm all choked up!
[05:50] ---
    You look so cute I want to buy you
    everything your heart desires!
[05:54] ---
    I owe it all to Lady Viola's training.
[05:57] ---
    Well, you've still got
    a long way to go to reach my level.
[06:00] ---
    Am I oozing charm, Your Grace?
[06:03] ---
    What's with the raunchy remix
    just for my sake?!
[06:08] ---
    Forgive the intrusion.
[06:09] ---
    Lady Viola, your butlers say it's
    almost time for you to head home.
[06:13] ---
    Really?
[06:15] ---
    I wasn't able to talk
    with Rob again today...
[06:18] ---
    Hey, Viola. Why don't you say
    goodbye to Rob...
[06:21] ---
    ...using the Viola Method?
[06:23] ---
    You've got a point there.
[06:24] ---
    I'll show you guys what real charm is!
[06:27] ---
    You've got to put on your cutest face
    in front of the one you love!
[06:32] ---
    Rob, I'll come see you again sometime.
[06:34] ---
    Rob, I'll come see you again sum-thyme...
[06:40] ---
    Apparently, there's a gap between
    a person's ideals and reality.
[06:47] ---
    I wonder when Lady Viola
    will come here again.
[06:51] ---
    Beats me.
[06:54] ---
    I wonder if Alice
    has taken a shine to her.
[07:05] ---
    Yoo-hoo! Dearest Bruh-thuh?!
[07:07] ---
    Why, if it isn't Lady Viola!
[07:10] ---
    R-R-R-Rob?
[07:11] ---
    How good of you to drop by!
[07:14] ---
    If you're looking for His Grace,
    he's in the kitchen.
[07:18] ---
    Oh, okay.
[07:19] ---
    I didn't really come here
    to see my brother or anything...
[07:22] ---
    Oh, Rob, you're looking like
    a total dreamboat again today...
[07:25] ---
    I'd only like you to taste the soup stock.
[07:28] ---
    You're just saying that
    so you can take a peek, right?
[07:30] ---
    Huh?
[07:31] ---
    Okay then, promise me you won't
    take a peek inside my mouth.
[07:34] ---
    It's really embarrassing when you stare.
[07:37] ---
    All right, now...
[07:41] ---
    What are you guys doing?
[07:42] ---
    V-V-Viola?!
[07:43] ---
    I-I can explain this.
[07:45] ---
    I thought the witch would be attracted
    by the smell and come back again.
[07:48] ---
    Right, Alice?
[07:49] ---
    Yes, I was just getting ready
    to make some bread and stew.
[07:53] ---
    Oh, a witch, huh?
[07:55] ---
    As if I really care about that...
[07:57] ---
    This may be a chance to show Rob
    just how girlish I am!
[08:02] ---
    Let me help out with the cooking, too!
[08:04] ---
    Of course, milady.
[08:07] ---
    They've really hit it off well.
[08:10] ---
    It's not too tight, is it?
[08:12] ---
    No, it's fine.
[08:15] ---
    This is the first time
    I've worn one of these.
[08:17] ---
    It looks adorable on you.
[08:20] ---
    Okay then, why don't you
    shape the bread dough?
[08:23] ---
    Just you and Rob!
[08:26] ---
    Good luck, Viola!
[08:28] ---
    You're so creepy!
[08:33] ---
    All right, then.
[08:35] ---
    I've finally got a chance
    to have a leisurely chat with Rob.
[08:39] ---
    I'm so freaking nervous!
[08:48] ---
    Oh, how cute! It looks like he's really
    having fun rolling the dough into balls!
[08:51] ---
    I hope I come back as bread
    dough in the next life.
[08:53] ---
    All right then, how shall we
    shape the dough?
[08:57] ---
    Well, um, I'm not sure because
    I've never made bread before.
[09:01] ---
    Why don't you decide, Rob?
[09:04] ---
    There isn't a man alive who hates it
    when a girl depends on him.
[09:07] ---
    That's the Viola Method.
[09:11] ---
    Well then, how about something like this?
[09:16] ---
    That's really fancy!
[09:18] ---
    Pretty cute, don't you think?
[09:20] ---
    You're the one that's pretty cute!
[09:23] ---
    Milady, why don't you try shaping
    the dough into whatever form you wish?
[09:28] ---
    I don't know why,
    but when I'm cooking with you like this...
[09:32] ---
    ...it feels like we're newlyweds.
[09:34] ---
    Your Grace?
[09:34] ---
    Don't you think so, Rob?
[09:36] ---
    No, it's nothing!
[09:37] ---
    Not at all.
[09:38] ---
    You're much too young
    to be my wife, Lady Viola.
[09:42] ---
    "Wife," he said!
[09:45] ---
    Although if I weren't a butler,
[09:46] ---
    I might have had a granddaughter
    about your age, milady.
[09:50] ---
    "Granddaughter," he said!
[09:51] ---
    Aren't you going to make any more bread?
[09:53] ---
    "Bread," he said!
[09:55] ---
    Uh, bread. Right.
[10:07] ---
    I'm so jealous of my brother.
[10:09] ---
    He's got you and Alice by his side,
    and he seems to be having fun.
[10:15] ---
    With his curse and all, I'm glad that he's
    got people to give him emotional support.
[10:21] ---
    Still,
[10:23] ---
    you'd better tell that idiot to quit
    goofing around or his younger brother...
[10:27] ---
    ...will take his place
    as head of the family.
[10:29] ---
    Thank you, milady.
[10:33] ---
    You may say otherwise,
[10:35] ---
    but deep down,
    you truly do care about His Grace.
[10:39] ---
    Oh, Rob!
[10:41] ---
    Wow, that's some bread!
[10:42] ---
    It looks really cute.
[10:44] ---
    You're such a creep! Like, seriously,
    don't even talk to me!
[10:46] ---
    Oh? S-Sorry...
[10:57] ---
    I wish I could've been with Rob
    for longer than that...
[11:00] ---
    Lady Viola!
[11:03] ---
    Rob!
[11:04] ---
    Oh! Um...
[11:06] ---
    Please, take these.
[11:08] ---
    They're fresh from the oven.
[11:10] ---
    Oh...
[11:11] ---
    Please come back anytime.
[11:15] ---
    Um, okay. Thanks!
[11:30] ---
    Mmm!
[11:47] ---
    Your Grace, are you watching me?
[11:50] ---
    Yeah, I'm watching you!
[11:52] ---
    Would you like to see more?
[11:54] ---
    More of what?!
[12:03] ---
    She's so cute...
[12:04] ---
    Yeah, she's seriously cute.
[12:06] ---
    Huh?
[12:10] ---
    Hey, you haven't seen anybody
    lost around here, have you?
[12:13] ---
    What?
[12:15] ---
    I don't know if it's because
    I fell and hit my head,
[12:18] ---
    but it sounds like this crow's
    speaking to me.
[12:20] ---
    Hey, I'm picking up some
    magical energy coming from you.
[12:24] ---
    Aren't you one of us?
[12:25] ---
    Huh?
[12:26] ---
    W-Well, I'm cursed, so that might be why.
[12:29] ---
    Oh, so you're just a human, huh?
[12:32] ---
    So, you're a magic user, then?
[12:34] ---
    That's right.
[12:36] ---
    You wouldn't happen to be looking for...
[12:39] ---
    ...a lost, red-haired girl, would you?
[12:41] ---
    Yeah, a chick with a serious look on
    her face and not a thought in her head.
[12:45] ---
    Uh...
[12:46] ---
    ...so, you're the childhood friend
    that Cuff was talking about.
[12:49] ---
    What? You mean she told you about me?
[12:52] ---
    That's not like her.
[12:53] ---
    It's not in her nature
    to trust anyone but me.
[12:56] ---
    So, do you know where she went?
[12:58] ---
    Beats me. She left suddenly,
    and I haven't seen her since.
[13:03] ---
    I see.
[13:07] ---
    Uh, haven't you been staring
    at Alice a tad too much?
[13:10] ---
    Heh-heh, so you noticed.
[13:12] ---
    Your Grace, I found something
    surprising out on the lake.
[13:16] ---
    I met someone surprising myself just now.
[13:18] ---
    Cuff's friend... Whoa?!
[13:20] ---
    My name's Zain. I'm a magic user.
[13:23] ---
    Nice to meet you, Alice!
[13:25] ---
    Nice to meet you, too.
[13:26] ---
    His attitude is unmistakably
    different around her!
[13:29] ---
    Alice, I think you're majorly cute.
[13:31] ---
    Wha--?!
[13:32] ---
    You've got a gorgeous face
    and a voice to match.
[13:34] ---
    Whoa?!
[13:35] ---
    You're too close!
[13:36] ---
    What is with you, anyway?
[13:38] ---
    She's my Alice. Stop hitting on her!
[13:40] ---
    I'm crazy about girls,
[13:42] ---
    so asking me to stop
    hitting on them is asking too much.
[13:45] ---
    You know why?
    'Cause I'm crazy about girls.
[13:46] ---
    You don't have to say that twice now!
[13:49] ---
    Girls put makeup on and dress up
    for the guys they're into, right?
[13:54] ---
    Your point being?
[13:55] ---
    I find that behavior
    so adorable. I just love it.
[13:58] ---
    But when I mention that
    to Cuff, she's like...
[14:01] ---
    What's the point of flirting with guys?
[14:03] ---
    She is such a letdown!
[14:05] ---
    Looks like he's got a real
    fixation about something.
[14:08] ---
    Oh, and...
[14:12] ---
    ...I've got a thing for boobs.
[14:14] ---
    Those are your true colors showing!
[14:15] ---
    What? Boobs are the bomb, right?
[14:17] ---
    What are you playing the man's man for?
[14:19] ---
    I'm not!
[14:21] ---
    And besides, I'm more of
    a thigh guy myself.
[14:25] ---
    Would you stop taking notes?!
[14:26] ---
    Now, where the heck could Cuff have gone?
[14:30] ---
    Can't you use your magic to find her?
[14:33] ---
    No way, man. Magic can't solve everything.
[14:35] ---
    Anyhow, I'd better meet up with her soon.
[14:38] ---
    She can't do anything on her own,
[14:41] ---
    so I've got to protect her.
[14:44] ---
    No, don't!
[14:46] ---
    You mustn't squirm around like that.
[14:49] ---
    Cuff?!
[14:50] ---
    Cuff?
[14:52] ---
    She'd fallen in the lake.
[14:54] ---
    She was freezing, so I thought
    I'd warm her with my body heat.
[14:58] ---
    Consider where you're putting her!
[14:59] ---
    And you, stop staring so much!
[15:06] ---
    That's the first time someone's
    wedged me between their breasts.
[15:10] ---
    Oh, Zain, it's you.
[15:11] ---
    I was looking all over for you.
[15:13] ---
    Same here!
[15:14] ---
    I'd about given you up for dead!
[15:15] ---
    How many times did I tell you
    not to go anywhere if we got separated?
[15:18] ---
    I forgot about that.
[15:19] ---
    What does it matter? I survived, didn't I?
[15:21] ---
    Now look here...
[15:22] ---
    Isn't it great they found
    each other safe and sound?
[15:24] ---
    Yeah.
[15:25] ---
    So, what were you guys doing here?
[15:28] ---
    Oh, ice skating.
[15:30] ---
    Ice skating?
[15:42] ---
    I'm telling you, Zain, don't move!
[15:44] ---
    What do humans find so fun about this?
[15:47] ---
    So, why don't you
    just call it quits, then?
[15:49] ---
    I am not a quitter!
[15:50] ---
    See how stubborn you are already?
[15:52] ---
    Cuff, why don't you
    follow Alice's example?
[15:55] ---
    Just look at how graceful
    and ladylike she appears.
[15:58] ---
    Can you appreciate such virtue?
[16:00] ---
    I doubt it.
[16:02] ---
    You and she are total opposites.
[16:05] ---
    Darn that's hot!
[16:09] ---
    Just be thankful you've got
    natural ice to cool off with.
[16:12] ---
    I'll tan your hide!
[16:13] ---
    It must be great to be
    so physically close.
[16:16] ---
    Those two take it a bit too far, though...
[16:18] ---
    Your Grace?
[16:20] ---
    Do you think you're about ready
    to skate without any supports?
[16:23] ---
    Just imagine flinging yourself
    into my arms.
[16:26] ---
    Like I can do that!
[16:27] ---
    But you made it all the way here
    from the lake shore, didn't you?
[16:31] ---
    Ice skating is all about momentum.
[16:35] ---
    Hey, I'm beginning to feel
    like I can pull this off.
[16:37] ---
    I think I'll try skating
    to the lake shore.
[16:39] ---
    Why, that's a wonderful idea.
[16:41] ---
    Okay, here goes!
[16:43] ---
    Whoops!
[16:44] ---
    Your Grace!
[16:46] ---
    Ah-haha, sure enough, I slipped.
[16:48] ---
    But I actually skated there
    for a little bit.
[16:50] ---
    This is fun!
[16:53] ---
    I'm happy to hear you say that.
[16:55] ---
    Yeah, thanks.
[16:56] ---
    I owe it all to you.
    You're too close, though.
[17:00] ---
    It must be great to be
    so true to your feelings.
[17:03] ---
    Those two take it a bit too far, though...
[17:09] ---
    Wh-What is it?
[17:11] ---
    Just start walking.
[17:12] ---
    Huh?
[17:18] ---
    Oh, it's so much easier this way!
[17:21] ---
    Skating's a lot of fun!
[17:22] ---
    You can't really call this
    skating anymore, can you?
[17:25] ---
    Alice, come join us!
[17:26] ---
    Certainly.
[17:27] ---
    You too, Your Grace.
[17:42] ---
    Oh!
[17:44] ---
    It's snowing.
[17:53] ---
    Thanks for today.
[17:54] ---
    I'm glad we could meet.
[17:56] ---
    Yeah, same here. We owe you one.
[17:58] ---
    I talked it over with Zain, and...
[18:02] ---
    ...on the night of the next blood moon,
    we're thinking of taking you
[18:06] ---
    to a gathering of witches
    called the witches' sabbath.
[18:09] ---
    Huh?
[18:10] ---
    Since we can't tell you
    anything about witches,
[18:12] ---
    go to the witches' sabbath and do
    some investigating of your own.
[18:15] ---
    We'll help you out
    if something goes wrong.
[18:19] ---
    Wait!
[18:20] ---
    You're telling me to plunge into
    the witches' midst
[18:22] ---
    and find the one that cursed me?
[18:27] ---
    That's exactly what we're saying.
[18:29] ---
    We'll come for you the next time
    the moon turns blood red.
[18:31] ---
    You'd better be ready when we do.
[18:39] ---
    Are they serious?
[18:41] ---
    May I come with you?
[18:43] ---
    Huh? Well, I don't know...
[18:46] ---
    Please? There's something
    I'd like to make sure of.
[18:49] ---
    You think you can win me over
    if you say it all cutesy.
[18:53] ---
    Please, Your Grace?
[18:55] ---
    So, here you go and bust out
    the Viola Method?!
[19:03] ---
    Yes, I'll be right there...
[19:06] ---
    Why, hello there, Alice...
[19:08] ---
    Why are you standing there half-naked?!
[19:10] ---
    Lady Viola?
[19:13] ---
    I really wanted to spend
    the night in Rob's room,
[19:16] ---
    but my brother wouldn't let me.
[19:19] ---
    So, I decided I'd spend the night here.
[19:22] ---
    I see.
[19:23] ---
    Anyway, what a small room you have.
[19:26] ---
    What's this?
[19:28] ---
    Why do you have a dead flower
    in a jar on your table?
[19:31] ---
    It's one of my prized possessions.
[19:35] ---
    You sure are strange, Alice.
[19:37] ---
    But I kind of like that about you.
[19:39] ---
    Thank you.
[19:45] ---
    You're so warm.
[19:46] ---
    This feels like a girls only party.
[19:48] ---
    A girls only party?
[19:49] ---
    Yeah. We talk about stuff that we can
    only discuss with other girls.
[19:53] ---
    For example, I don't think
    you're aware of this, Alice...
[19:58] ---
    ...but you see, I've got a crush on Rob.
[20:04] ---
    Oh, I didn't know.
[20:06] ---
    Shh!
[20:07] ---
    It's our secret! You can't breathe
    a word of this to anyone!
[20:10] ---
    Rob is such a gentleman.
[20:13] ---
    I think he's the perfect match
    for you, Lady Viola.
[20:16] ---
    You get it?
[20:17] ---
    I knew you would, Alice! See?
    This is what a girls only party is like.
[20:20] ---
    So, this is a girls only party...
[20:24] ---
    Do you have a crush on anyone, Alice?
[20:27] ---
    Yes, I do.
[20:30] ---
    He's like Prince Charming to me.
[20:32] ---
    Prince Charming?
[20:33] ---
    Aha, I knew it! My brother's
    feelings for her go unreturned.
[20:36] ---
    The poor thing.
[20:37] ---
    He saved me when I needed it.
[20:40] ---
    He makes my life worthwhile.
[20:42] ---
    Hey, Alice.
[20:43] ---
    If you want to get this guy to like you,
    come to me anytime for advice.
[20:46] ---
    I'll coach you in the Viola Method.
[20:48] ---
    That's so reassuring, Lady Viola.
[20:55] ---
    I've always wanted an older sister.
[20:58] ---
    Ever since I was little, my mother focused
    all of her attention on my brothers.
[21:02] ---
    I still put a lot of effort
    into my lessons,
[21:04] ---
    but she's never shown
    any interest in me.
[21:07] ---
    I've always wanted somebody
    to pamper me like this.
[21:16] ---
    She looks just like His Grace
    when she's asleep.
[21:18] ---
    Alice?
[21:20] ---
    Is Viola here...
[21:22] ---
    She's just fallen asleep.
[21:25] ---
    Ooh, Viola's doing something else
    that makes me jealous...
[21:28] ---
    Your Grace?
[21:29] ---
    When Lady Viola wakes up tomorrow morning,
    please compliment her as much as you can.
[21:33] ---
    Um, why?
[21:35] ---
    I want her to feel pampered.
[21:37] ---
    Um, okay.
[23:13] ---
    Alice, thanks for letting me
    sleep over last night!
[23:17] ---
    So, what are you doing here,
    Dearest Brother?
[23:20] ---
    Uh, well...
[23:22] ---
    V-Viola, your hair
    is so nice and beautiful.
[23:24] ---
    See, mine's naturally curly, so... ahaha.
[23:26] ---
    Your point being? What are you
    complimenting me for all of a sudden?
[23:29] ---
    Well, even if you had silky,
    shiny hair, Dearest Brother,
[23:32] ---
    it wouldn't make you
    any more popular with the ladies.
[23:34] ---
    And after I complimented her and all...
[23:36] ---
    Dearest Brother, I hope in the next life
    you'll be more like Prince Charming.
[23:40] ---
    You mustn't speak of that, Lady Viola.
[23:43] ---
    Oh, why not?
[23:44] ---
    He doesn't get it anyway.
[23:46] ---
    Huh? What are you talking about?
[23:47] ---
    Something we talked about
    at our girls only party.
[23:49] ---
    It's no concern of yours,
    Dearest Brother.
[23:51] ---
    Well, let me join you next time, then.
[23:53] ---
    No can do.
[23:54] ---
    Hey, there's nothing wrong with it.
[23:57] ---
    Is there, Alice?
[23:58] ---
    Yes, there is.
