[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.
[01:01] ---
    This occurred to me earlier, but...
[01:03] ---
    ...something about your
    maid uniform bothers me.
[01:08] ---
    Would you care to have a look?
[01:09] ---
    You're already showing it off!
[01:11] ---
    What I meant was...
[01:13] ---
    ...your shoulders and all are too exposed,
    and I don't think it's appropriate.
[01:16] ---
    Can't you wear something more normal?
[01:18] ---
    Normal...
[01:21] ---
    You mean, like this?
[01:22] ---
    No, this is too sexy in its own right!
[01:24] ---
    And what's with the picture boards?!
[01:26] ---
    All right, then how about this?
[01:27] ---
    No maid would pose like that!
[01:30] ---
    All right, then starting tomorrow
    I just won't wear anything at all.
[01:32] ---
    How did you jump to that conclusion?!
SIGN    Episode 6: The Duke, Alice,
    and a Night in the Witches' World
[03:06] ---
    Just look at this!
[03:08] ---
    Since it's cold out, I thought I'd do some
    reading in the conservatory, but...
[03:11] ---
    ...the place is an utter mess!
[03:15] ---
    I'm terribly sorry.
[03:17] ---
    Both Rob and I had completely
    forgotten about this place.
[03:21] ---
    I realize two servants are just not
    enough for a mansion this big.
[03:26] ---
    Let's leave what was here
    originally and get rid of the rest.
[03:29] ---
    I'll give you a hand.
[03:31] ---
    Thank you, Your Grace.
[03:33] ---
    All right...
[03:35] ---
    ...then let's use these.
[03:37] ---
    Have you got a link to hyperspace or
    something between your breasts?
[03:41] ---
    It's amazing how thick
    the greenery has gotten.
[03:44] ---
    Though once I expose them
    to the power of my curse,
[03:47] ---
    it doesn't really matter
    how much they've grown.
[03:52] ---
    My curse obeys certain rules.
[03:54] ---
    Any organism that touches me will die.
[03:59] ---
    Touching me over my clothes
    will produce the same result.
[04:02] ---
    Because I've taken the utmost precautions,
    I've never caused anyone's death.
[04:07] ---
    Though...
[04:08] ---
    ...I have taken the lives
    of many small creatures.
[04:14] ---
    Still, since I started living here, I've
    come to learn what's safe and what's not.
[04:19] ---
    Living things can get
    infinitesimally close to me...
[04:21] ---
    ...and be fine, as long as they
    don't come in direct contact.
[04:24] ---
    If my clothing is thick enough,
    they can touch me and be okay.
[04:29] ---
    They can touch objects that I'm
    in contact with and be all right.
[04:32] ---
    It doesn't appear to pose any problems
    if my sweat or spittle gets on them.
[04:38] ---
    I can grab onto their clothing.
[04:40] ---
    But I hardly ever do that
    because it's too risky.
[04:43] ---
    These rules were made solely at
    the whim of the witch who cursed me.
[04:49] ---
    In other words,
[04:50] ---
    from that day on I have
    lived under her control.
[04:57] ---
    Oh, I'd better check on Alice...
[05:02] ---
    What are you looking at? Flowers?
[05:04] ---
    Yes. They've blossomed so beautifully.
[05:08] ---
    But I've enjoyed them enough.
[05:11] ---
    Would you wither them for me?
[05:13] ---
    Huh? Are you sure?
[05:14] ---
    Yes. I'll be over there tidying up.
[05:18] ---
    Alice...
[05:30] ---
    Alice!
[05:35] ---
    A garland?
[05:37] ---
    Uh-huh, I made it just now!
[05:39] ---
    I thought it'd be a shame to just wither
    them, so I turned them into dried flowers.
[05:43] ---
    This way you'll be able to enjoy
    them for a while longer.
[05:46] ---
    Dried flowers, you say?
[05:48] ---
    I can't vouch for their quality, though...
[05:52] ---
    Thank you so much.
[05:54] ---
    It's one more thing for me to treasure.
[05:56] ---
    I'm such a lucky girl.
[05:58] ---
    I'm so glad you like it.
[06:01] ---
    I won't be under your
    control forever, witch.
[06:05] ---
    On the night of the next blood moon,
    we're thinking of taking you...
[06:09] ---
    ...to a gathering of witches
    called the witches' sabbath.
[06:12] ---
    If I go to the witches' sabbath,
[06:14] ---
    I may find some leads
    on how to break my curse.
[06:17] ---
    If I can break it,
[06:20] ---
    Mother will accept me.
[06:22] ---
    I'll be able to go home.
[06:24] ---
    And dine with my family again...
[06:29] ---
    No, I'm sure by then that Mother will...
[06:45] ---
    Viola?
[06:46] ---
    You haven't been dining with us lately.
[06:49] ---
    What have you been up to?
[06:52] ---
    I've been going to a friend's house.
[06:55] ---
    As an aristocrat's daughter, you must
    take care to act in moderation.
[06:59] ---
    You understand, don't you?
[07:01] ---
    Yes.
[07:17] ---
    Darn it. I can't sleep.
[07:22] ---
    Oh!
[07:24] ---
    Stop that!
[07:25] ---
    Alice?!
[07:28] ---
    Alice, what's wrong?
[07:29] ---
    Oh, Your Grace!
[07:32] ---
    Forgive me.
    I was taking a shower.
[07:37] ---
    Thank goodness you came
    to my aid, Your Grace.
[07:40] ---
    Your Grace?
[07:41] ---
    I am one with the floor.
    I didn't see anything.
[07:43] ---
    Anything at all.
[07:46] ---
    A cat in the shower room?
[07:48] ---
    Yes. It slipped in, and before I knew it,
    it had run off with my dressing gown.
[07:53] ---
    I had just washed my maid uniform, so...
[07:56] ---
    In that case, leave it to me.
[07:58] ---
    I just need to get your gown
    back from the cat, right?
[08:00] ---
    You wait here and take your shower, okay?
[08:02] ---
    Your Grace?
[08:04] ---
    Thank you so much.
[08:05] ---
    I'm just doing what any
    gentleman would do.
[08:09] ---
    I'll come back as soon as I find it.
[08:11] ---
    All right.
[08:12] ---
    You don't have to tag along, you know!
[08:14] ---
    You'll catch a chill!
[08:15] ---
    Yes, but this was the result
    of my carelessness,
[08:18] ---
    and since there's a cat involved,
    I think I'd better come along.
[08:22] ---
    Well, you've got a point there.
[08:24] ---
    Okay, but you should...
[08:27] ---
    ...wear this at least. It may be a little
    big for you, but it's better than nothing.
[08:32] ---
    It smells like you, Your Grace.
[08:34] ---
    You don't have to tell me what you think.
    Let's get moving.
[08:41] ---
    It's hard looking for a black cat in
    the dark like this, don't you think?
[08:46] ---
    Uh, yeah...
[08:47] ---
    It's dragging my gown behind it,
    so I doubt it's gotten very far.
[08:53] ---
    Uh, right...
[08:54] ---
    I can't take in anything she says.
[08:57] ---
    Would you like to touch them?
[09:00] ---
    It's okay, you know.
[09:01] ---
    No, it's not that, it's...
[09:05] ---
    There it is! The cat!
[09:07] ---
    Come on, let's go after it!
[09:08] ---
    Alice!
[09:09] ---
    Right now, I'd like to talk
    with you, Your Grace.
[09:12] ---
    Have you forgotten what we're here for?!
[09:18] ---
    Thankfully we caught it, but...
[09:20] ---
    My gown's all chewed up.
[09:23] ---
    This cat has kittens, so it must've wanted
    to take some cloth back to its nest.
[09:28] ---
    You can't wear that anymore.
    You should go out and buy a new one.
[09:33] ---
    This gown was my favorite because you told
    me how good it looked on me, Your Grace.
[09:37] ---
    That outfit looks nice.
[09:40] ---
    To think she remembered that casual
    remark I made... Is she pure or what?
[09:45] ---
    This is for you.
[09:48] ---
    Come again sometime.
[09:54] ---
    Thank you for your help, Your Grace.
[09:57] ---
    My maid uniform is dry now,
    so I can wear it back to my room.
[10:02] ---
    You must be chilly. Why don't you take
    another shower before you go to bed?
[10:06] ---
    All right. Would you care to join me?
[10:08] ---
    As if!
[10:10] ---
    Then let me give you your jacket back.
[10:12] ---
    No, no, you can do that tomorrow!
[10:14] ---
    Anyhow, see you tomorrow!
[10:16] ---
    Try not to catch a cold or anything.
[10:18] ---
    Good night!
[10:21] ---
    Though I always feel so lonely
    at this precise moment.
[10:36] ---
    Good night, Your Grace.
[10:53] ---
    And who might you be?
[10:58] ---
    Nobody dodgy.
[11:00] ---
    We came to take the Duke
    to the witches' sabbath.
[11:05] ---
    Darn it all!
[11:07] ---
    Cuff and Zain will be here any minute.
[11:09] ---
    Which stuff should I leave here?
[11:12] ---
    You're awfully calm.
[11:14] ---
    We're going to a witches'
    gathering, you know.
[11:16] ---
    Aren't you scared?
[11:17] ---
    No, not particularly.
[11:20] ---
    I'm even taking some gifts for them.
[11:22] ---
    Tuna and what not.
[11:23] ---
    Do you think these witches
    are cats or something?
[11:26] ---
    Oh, Alice? Are you in here?
[11:29] ---
    Cuff! Zain!
[11:30] ---
    What's with all the useless garbage?
[11:32] ---
    You don't need any of it
    at the witches' sabbath.
[11:35] ---
    You're not in any danger as long
    as they don't find out you're human.
[11:39] ---
    Leave that junk here.
[11:41] ---
    Did you really need to burn it?
[11:42] ---
    Nope.
[11:44] ---
    May I come along to tonight's
    witches' sabbath as well?
[11:47] ---
    No problem.
[11:48] ---
    You aren't taking this seriously enough!
[11:49] ---
    Witches' gatherings are scary,
    aren't they?
[11:52] ---
    How can you be so casual about it?
[11:54] ---
    The gatherings certainly are scary.
    But relax.
[11:58] ---
    I'm here to protect you, Alice.
[12:00] ---
    What about me?!
[12:03] ---
    But... why are the two of them
    helping me out like this?
[12:08] ---
    If the others found out they brought
    humans to the witches' sabbath,
[12:11] ---
    their own standing would be compromised.
[12:14] ---
    Okay, it looks like we can
    use this to get there easily.
[12:17] ---
    Cuff, give them the robes.
[12:19] ---
    Sure thing.
[12:21] ---
    Those robes will mask your human stench
    as long as you've got them on.
[12:24] ---
    We'll claim that you're my
    younger brother and sister.
[12:28] ---
    So act accordingly.
[12:29] ---
    O-Okay.
[12:36] ---
    Stick with me, Alice.
[12:38] ---
    Quit acting cool and get a move on!
[12:40] ---
    Your Grace, let's go.
[12:42] ---
    Yeah...
[12:43] ---
    Your Grace?
[12:44] ---
    Will you be all right?
[12:46] ---
    Don't worry, Rob.
[12:49] ---
    Alice is coming with me,
    and we'll both come back safely.
[12:51] ---
    Then I wish you good luck!
[13:05] ---
    Be careful, Alice.
[13:23] ---
    Witches...
[13:26] ---
    ...aren't all like Cuff or Zain.
[13:30] ---
    They look like downright monsters.
[13:36] ---
    Alice, a-a-a-are you all right?
[13:38] ---
    I'm here for you, you know!
[13:40] ---
    Are you all right, Your Grace?
[13:43] ---
    I wonder, could she be here?
[13:46] ---
    The witch that cursed me, that is.
[13:50] ---
    Say, mister, could you grab that?
[13:58] ---
    Thanks, mister!
[14:00] ---
    Hey, I haven't seen you before.
[14:03] ---
    His Grace has completely locked up.
[14:06] ---
    Come on, hang in there.
[14:07] ---
    This does not bode well...
[14:10] ---
    Is everyone here now?
[14:25] ---
    Okay then, let's begin!
[14:28] ---
    Witch on night duty, please do the honors.
[14:30] ---
    All rise!
[14:32] ---
    Bow!
[14:33] ---
    Good evening, everyone!
[14:37] ---
    Witches are more courteous than I thought.
[14:40] ---
    Okay, time to take attendance.
[14:42] ---
    Beto?
[14:43] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[14:44] ---
    Lloyd?
[14:44] ---
    He's got a cold.
[14:45] ---
    Elle?
[14:46] ---
    She's not here because her
    grandma's visiting.
[14:49] ---
    Um, Daleth. That's me, so... Present.
[14:53] ---
    Daleth's our leader.
[14:55] ---
    Rumor has it she's quite a looker
    underneath that mask.
[14:58] ---
    You don't say.
[14:59] ---
    Keto and Teto?
[15:01] ---
    What's up?
[15:02] ---
    Zain?
[15:03] ---
    Yes, I'm here!
[15:05] ---
    Cuff?
[15:07] ---
    Here.
[15:08] ---
    It's not like you to come
    to a witches' sabbath.
[15:12] ---
    Who are those two you brought with you?
[15:14] ---
    Well, uh...
[15:15] ---
    They're my siblings, got it?
[15:17] ---
    Yeah. They're Zain's and my kids!
[15:23] ---
    I knew it!
[15:24] ---
    Congratulations!
[15:24] ---
    Why did you freak out and
    say such a stupid thing?
[15:28] ---
    I'm shorry!
[15:29] ---
    Please don't blame her so harshly, Father.
[15:32] ---
    Call me Daddy!
[15:33] ---
    Your kids, huh?
[15:35] ---
    That's great! This should be interesting.
[15:37] ---
    This evening's attendance is good, too.
    I'm really happy about that.
[15:40] ---
    At least for now, they haven't
    figured out we're human, I hope?
[15:43] ---
    All right, it's time for our first report.
[15:46] ---
    Yesterday, a flower blossomed on the
    mandrake that we've all been growing.
[15:50] ---
    Isn't it adorable?
[15:52] ---
    Unfortunately, it seems we'll
    have to wait a little longer...
[15:54] ---
    ...for the poisonous Budgett's
    frog eggs to hatch.
[15:57] ---
    And anyone who would like to chip
    in to buy a Voodoo doll...
[16:00] ---
    ...should apply by the
    next witches' sabbath.
[16:02] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[16:04] ---
    I'm so glad this turned out to be
    such a laid-back meeting.
[16:07] ---
    Me, too.
[16:08] ---
    Okay, this ends tonight's
    witches' sabbath.
[16:12] ---
    What? Already?
[16:16] ---
    All right, dismissed.
[16:21] ---
    Wh-What should we do?
[16:22] ---
    The witches' sabbath has ended.
[16:23] ---
    And we still haven't found
    any leads into my curse.
[16:29] ---
    I was amazed to hear you had kids, Zain.
[16:33] ---
    Did you knock her up?
[16:34] ---
    Yep.
[16:35] ---
    Don't you say another word.
[16:37] ---
    Honestly, what the heck were you thinking?
[16:40] ---
    Cuff's got human blood
    running through her veins.
[16:47] ---
    Cuff's a respectable witch.
[16:50] ---
    Now apologize to her.
[16:53] ---
    Uh, well...
[16:56] ---
    Sorry, Cuff. It was a slip of the tongue.
[16:59] ---
    No problem, just so long as you know.
[17:01] ---
    Having said that...
[17:03] ---
    ...let's kick this ball around!
[17:06] ---
    Y-You want me to play, too?
[17:08] ---
    Of course, my boy!
[17:10] ---
    Yay!
[17:14] ---
    And so, we meet again, Alice.
[17:17] ---
    You knew it was me?
[17:18] ---
    Well, yeah.
    I'm good at remembering faces.
[17:22] ---
    Whoa! He blocked it with his face!
[17:24] ---
    So, you won Zain and Cuff
    over and came to see me.
[17:28] ---
    What exactly do you want?
[17:29] ---
    I wanted to know whether my mother
    had any connection with you witches.
[17:34] ---
    Well, I'm not really sure.
[17:36] ---
    I was only a slight acquaintance
    of your mother's.
[17:41] ---
    Alice, do you have a handkerchief?
[17:43] ---
    The ball hit me in the face...
[17:44] ---
    Oh, dear!
[17:49] ---
    You two seem to be pretty close.
[17:51] ---
    Are you an item?
[17:52] ---
    N-No, we aren't, but...
[17:54] ---
    ...does it look that way?
[17:55] ---
    You've grown quite a bit...
[17:58] ---
    ...in spite of your curse.
[18:01] ---
    You... know who I am?
[18:03] ---
    Yes, I saw you at that aristocrat's
    mansion when you were little.
[18:08] ---
    And of course, I also know about
    the witch that cursed you.
[18:12] ---
    Who is she?
[18:14] ---
    Please, let us meet her.
    We'd like her to break the curse.
[18:18] ---
    I can't. It's impossible.
[18:20] ---
    But why?
[18:21] ---
    She's dead.
[18:24] ---
    And I have absolutely no idea
    how to break your curse.
[18:29] ---
    H-How did she die?
[18:31] ---
    So, the curse doesn't break
    when the witch dies?
[18:33] ---
    What did she curse me for?
[18:36] ---
    Oh, you've got so many questions.
[18:38] ---
    She was a whiz at magic.
[18:41] ---
    And she died because of it.
[18:44] ---
    Let us speak of this no more.
[18:47] ---
    I despise her.
[18:49] ---
    B-But!
[18:50] ---
    One word of advice.
[18:52] ---
    The curse you've got is unlike anything
    some run-of-the-mill witch could cast.
[18:57] ---
    I suggest that you give up now.
[19:01] ---
    Darn that's hot!
[19:02] ---
    What'd you do that for?
[19:03] ---
    Your Grace, if you don't
    have your robe on...
[19:08] ---
    I smell a human.
[19:10] ---
    It's a human.
[19:11] ---
    A human.
[19:12] ---
    Wh-What do we do now?
[19:14] ---
    Let's run back to the mirror.
[19:19] ---
    A human?
[19:19] ---
    Yeah, that's what they say.
[19:21] ---
    Don't let them get away!
[19:24] ---
    You're like, totally gonna be
    pet food for my magic plant!
[19:33] ---
    Alice, are you all right?
[19:35] ---
    Y-Yes, Your Grace.
[19:41] ---
    Oh. My. Gosh. It's totally dead!
[19:42] ---
    Like, why?!
[19:47] ---
    Don't let them get away!
[19:48] ---
    After them!
[19:52] ---
    Zain! Cuff! Get back here!
[19:54] ---
    Why are you siding with the humans?
[19:56] ---
    Come back! Come back, I say!
[20:02] ---
    W-We're safe...
[20:07] ---
    Cuff, Zain, I'm sorry.
[20:10] ---
    You did this for me.
    I don't know how to thank you.
[20:15] ---
    They were freakin' pissed!
[20:17] ---
    Ooh, they had me scared!
[20:19] ---
    We're always fighting like that,
    so don't worry about it.
[20:22] ---
    They'll forget about it in no time.
[20:25] ---
    And this way we won't have to go to
    another witches' sabbath for a while.
[20:28] ---
    I'd take on every witch in
    the witches' world for you, Alice.
[20:32] ---
    Are you hurt?
[20:33] ---
    No, not a scratch.
[20:35] ---
    Why don't you take another trip?
[20:37] ---
    Don't make me go back there!
[20:37] ---
    You were really great
    back there, Your Grace.
[20:41] ---
    Well, it all happened so fast...
[20:43] ---
    You protected me, Your Grace,
    and saved my life.
[20:46] ---
    Thank you.
[20:47] ---
    N-No problem.
[20:48] ---
    So, did you get any leads?
[20:52] ---
    Yeah.
[20:53] ---
    I was able to learn some stuff
    from that witch Daleth.
[20:56] ---
    It wound up being bleaker
    than I'd hoped, but...
[20:59] ---
    ...now I understand the situation.
[21:01] ---
    And I couldn't have
    done it without you two.
[21:02] ---
    Thanks.
[21:03] ---
    I see. That's great.
[21:06] ---
    Why have you been helping
    me out so much, Cuff?
[21:09] ---
    We haven't known each other for very long,
[21:11] ---
    and there's nothing in it for you,
    being a witch and all.
[21:14] ---
    Well, I'm not sure I know
    the reason why, but...
[21:17] ---
    ...when I met you that day
    for the first time...
[21:21] ---
    ...and saw you going all-out
    for someone else's sake,
[21:24] ---
    I decided I wanted to be friends with you.
[21:26] ---
    I-I feel the same way. I hope I can
    be friends with you and Zain.
[21:31] ---
    Really?
[21:32] ---
    Oh, this is so easy.
[21:37] ---
    Starting next time,
    we'll come over as friends.
[21:40] ---
    See you again!
[21:41] ---
    So long, Alice!
[21:42] ---
    Ouch!
[21:44] ---
    As friends...
[21:47] ---
    Friends! Did you hear that, Alice?
[21:49] ---
    I've got friends!
[21:51] ---
    Seeing you happy makes me
    happy, too, Your Grace.
[21:54] ---
    I don't know what will become of my curse.
[21:57] ---
    But I'm sure I'll get to
    the truth of the matter.
[22:01] ---
    Thanks for sticking with me.
    I hope I can continue to rely on you.
[22:05] ---
    Certainly. Let's break your
    curse whatever happens.
[22:08] ---
    It's tough never being able
    to touch the one you love.
[22:12] ---
    S-Same here.
[22:14] ---
    Would you like to touch me?
[22:15] ---
    Of all things I could touch,
    why'd you pick your breasts?
[22:18] ---
    What about your hands or your hair?
[22:20] ---
    Besides, I can't touch them anyway!
[22:24] ---
    I can't just walk in on them now...
