**[00:00] Saria (Gorilla)**
Seiichi and the wounded Louise set off
from Barbador Magic Academy.
**[00:06] Saria (Gorilla)**
After they arrived,
**[00:09] Saria (Gorilla)**
the Wimberg Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom
successfully forged their alliance.
**[00:15] Saria (Gorilla)**
Meanwhile, back at Barbador Magic Academy,
**[00:19] Saria (Gorilla)**
Airin was acting somewhat suspiciously...
**[00:25] (Flashback) Fake Airi (Gempel)**
Guess it's about time.
**[00:30] Saria (Gorilla)**
This week, we're starting with what
happened at Barbador Magic Academy
**[00:35] Saria (Gorilla)**
shortly after Seiichi left
for the Wimberg Kingdom.
**[00:39] Brud**
Seiichi-sensei, take care.
**[00:43] Lulune**
Well, time to head back to the cafeteria.
**[00:46] Oliga**
That's all you ever do, glutton.
**[00:49] Artoria**
All right, back to the classroom.
**[00:52] Brud**
Time to head back.
**[00:52] Agnos**
I wish I could have gone with the boss man.
**[00:53] Lulune**
Time to eat more!
**[00:54] Oliga**
You *still* want to eat?
**[01:01] Kannazuki**
What's wrong? You're usually much more lively.
**[01:05] Airi**
You think Sei-chan will be okay?
**[01:08] Kannazuki**
It's Seiichi-kun we're talking about.
**[01:10] Kannazuki**
Of course he'll be fine.
**[01:12] Airi**
I hope you're right.
**[01:15] Airi**
I hope you're right.
**[01:19] Kannazuki**
Well, I'm going back to the classroom.
**[01:26] Gempel**
Will everything really be all right, Sei-chan?
**[01:30] Gempel**
Without you here at the academy?

**[03:06] Gempel**
*I'm Gempel the Doppelganger.*
**[03:09] Gempel**
* The man who would one day be known as one*
* of the top four of the Great Devil Order.*
**[03:13] Gempel**
*Believe it or not, when I was a child,*
**[03:15] Gempel**
* I grew up as an upper-class noble*
* who didn't lack for anything.*
**[03:20] Gempel**
*But my heart never felt fulfilled.*
**[03:23] Gempel**
*I'd always realized it.*
**[03:26] Gempel**
* People weren't approaching me.*
* They were only after my status as a noble.*
**[03:33] Gempel**
*Even my parents didn't show me any love.*
**[03:36] Gempel**
* I was nothing more than a tool to*
* inherit and continue their lineage.*
**[03:41] Gempel**
*No one paid attention to my true face.*
**[03:44] Gempel**
* The moment I fell into despair over that*
* was the moment I lost my face.*
**[03:49] Agnos**
Airin? What are you doing?
**[03:52] Agnos**
This is the men's bathroom.
**[03:55] Gempel**
*One of Hiiragi Seiichi's students?*
**[03:57] Gempel**
*Perfect timing.*
**[03:58] Brud**
What are you doing here?
**[04:00] Airi**
I came here to crush you two.
**[04:03] Airi**
To make Sei-chan feel despair.
**[04:05] Brud**
Sei-chan? You mean Seiichi-sensei?
**[04:08] Agnos**
Airin! What in the world is wrong with you?!
**[04:10] Airi**
Here I go!
**[04:13] Agnos**
What the hell do you think you're doing?!
**[04:15] Airi**
Doppelganger!
**[04:17] Agnos**
S-So bright!
**[04:19] Saria**
This is what I'm doing!
**[04:21] Agnos**
S-Saria-san?
**[04:24] Brud**
Transformation magic?
**[04:27] Agnos**
Baird's got you beat in terms of power.
**[04:30] Saria**
I'm not so sure about that.
**[04:36] Brud**
She transformed?!
**[04:37] Brud**
Is that Airin's magic?!
**[04:39] Agnos**
Whoa, man, what's going on?
**[04:41] Saria (Gorilla)**
By the way, I can also copy their specs.
**[04:53] Agnos**
I didn't know Airin had
an ability like this.
**[04:57] Saria (Gorilla)**
I'm...
**[04:59] Saria (Gorilla) & Gempel**
...not Airin!
**[05:00] Gempel**
My true identity is...
**[05:05] Gempel**
Gempel the Doppelganger, one of
the Great Devil Order's top four!

**[05:10] Gempel**
Well? Surprised, aren't you?
**[05:13] Gempel**
When Seiichi gets back,
I'll execute you before his eyes.
**[05:19] Gempel**
Hiiragi Seiichi.
**[05:21] Gempel**
I'll send everyone you
cherish to the afterlife.
**[05:25] Gempel**
Starting with...
**[05:36] Gempel**
* A member of Hiiragi Seiichi's*
* army, Lulune the Donkey.*
**[05:40] Gempel**
* I'll bet he'll feel utter*
* despair when he loses*
**[05:43] Gempel**
*someone he's shared joys and sorrows with.*
**[05:46] Gempel**
Your life is mine!
**[05:50] Gempel**
What?!
**[05:51] Lulune**
My food is mine!
**[05:54] Lulune**
I won't let anyone take it!
**[05:57] Airi**
Huh? Food? I wasn't after that.
**[06:00] Gempel**
*I was after your life!*
**[06:02] Lulune**
Oh? Really?
**[06:04] Airi**
Really.
**[06:06] Lulune**
Now that I look at you,
**[06:07] Lulune**
you're Airin, from my class, right?
**[06:09] Gempel**
*This girl's an idiot!*
**[06:11] Airi**
Sorry for surprising you.
**[06:13] Lulune**
Don't worry about it.
**[06:14] Lulune**
So, why did you sneak up on me from behind?
**[06:17] Gempel**
*Overlook that part!*
**[06:19] Gempel**
*Not good! Is she onto me?!*
**[06:22] Lulune**
Are you...
**[06:27] Lulune**
hungry, by chance?
**[06:29] Airi**
Huh?
**[06:30] Airi**
O-Oh, yes, I am!
**[06:36] Lulune**
I see.
**[06:37] Lulune**
Then here's my favorite!
**[06:40] Lulune**
Bakudan!
**[06:41] Lulune**
Being hungry always makes you want
to attack from behind, doesn't it?
**[06:46] Airi**
No, it doesn't.
**[06:48] Lulune**
You're the one who tried to save my master.
**[06:51] Lulune**
So have this as thanks.
**[06:53] Lulune**
Besides, it's nice to share food and
eat it together every now and then.
**[06:59] Lulune**
You're our friend, Airin.
**[07:03] Lulune**
I wouldn't normally do this for others.
**[07:05] Lulune**
You're special.
**[07:10] Gempel**
*Friend...*
**[07:12] (Flashback) Gempel Boy**
Father, Mother.
**[07:14] (Flashback) Gempel Father**
Be quiet.
**[07:15] (Flashback) Gempel Father**
Today's meal is delicious.
**[07:17] (Flashback) Gempel Mother**
I'm so glad I made it.
**[07:35] Airi**
It's good.
**[07:38] Airi**
But why are you giving this to me?
**[07:41] Lulune**
Huh?
**[07:42] Lulune**
Well, partly to thank you
for trying to save my master...
**[07:47] Lulune**
What? Is it stuck in your throat?
**[07:49] Airi**
N-No, it's just my allergies.
**[07:53] Lulune**
But food also tastes better
when you eat with someone.
**[07:56] Lulune**
Now we're best friends!
**[08:02] Gempel**
*Best friends?!*
**[08:06] Gempel**
*You dumbass!*
**[08:07] Lulune**
Hey! Where are you going?!
**[08:09] Gempel**
*I also have empyema!*
**[08:25] Gempel**
*I might have failed earlier,*
**[08:27] Gempel**
*but it won't go that way this time!*
**[08:29] Gempel**
*Oliga, I'll be taking your life.*
**[08:33] Lulune**
Oliga-chan!
**[08:35] Oliga**
Oh, Glutton.
**[08:37] Lulune**
*When she gets close, I'll snap her neck!*
**[08:43] Lulune**
This girl?!
**[08:45] Oliga**
Here's an umbrella.
**[08:47] Oliga**
You didn't bring one, right?
**[08:51] Oliga**
You hold it, Lulune.
**[08:53] Oliga**
Since you're tall.
**[08:55] Lulune**
S-Sure.
**[08:56] (Flashback) Boy**
It's an upper-class noble! Get him!
**[09:01] (Flashback) Boy**
Hand over that damn umbrella!
**[09:02] (Flashback) Gempel Boy**
Hey! Give it back!
**[09:04] (Flashback) Boy2**
Gempel, I heard your family
was stripped of its title.
**[09:09] (Flashback) Boy3**
All this time, you acted like
you were so much better than us!
**[09:15] Lulune**
Why are you giving me an umbrella?
**[09:17] Lulune**
You'll get all wet yourself.
**[09:20] Oliga**
I'm fine.
**[09:21] Oliga**
You may be a glutton,
**[09:23] Oliga**
but you're a good girl who's
always sharing food with me.
**[09:26] Oliga**
Besides, you're my buddy.
**[09:34] Gempel**
*I'm her buddy?!*
**[09:40] Gempel**
*You dumbass!*
**[09:41] Oliga**
Where are you going? You'll catch a cold.
**[09:43] Gempel**
*Idiots don't catch colds!*
**[09:50] Gempel**
*I swear, every single one of them...*
**[09:56] Gempel**
*That's...*
**[09:58] Gempel**
*Artoria the Calamity.*
**[10:01] Gempel**
*This time, I won't fail.*
**[10:03] Gempel**
*I'll finish her for sure.*
**[10:05] Lulune**
Doppelganger.
**[10:09] Seiichi**
Using the man she loves the most,
**[10:12] Seiichi**
Hiiragi Seiichi.
**[10:14] Seiichi**
Continued in the second half.
**[10:23] Seiichi**
I want to be through
the mountains by nightfall,
**[10:25] Seiichi**
so let's deal with this quickly.
**[10:26] Saria**
All right.
**[10:28] Saria**
Then I'll go buy us some drinks.
**[10:30] Seiichi**
Okay, thanks.
**[10:36] Saria**
Huh?
**[10:44] Saria**
What's the matter?
**[10:51] Saria**
Are you hurt anywhere?
**[10:55] Destra**
N-No, I was just recalling the past.
**[11:01] Destra**
It's nothing.
**[11:03] Destra**
I'm fine, young lady.
**[11:05] Seiichi**
Saria!
**[11:09] Saria**
I bought drinks, Seiichi.
**[11:13] Seiichi**
*Hey, have I seen him before?*
**[11:16] Destra**
*I found him.*
**[11:18] Destra**
You're Seiichi-sensei from
Barbador Magic Academy, right?
**[11:22] Seiichi**
How do you know me?
**[11:24] Destra**
You're famous!
**[11:26] Destra**
I heard you're so super strong that
the king of Wimberg relies on you!
**[11:31] Seiichi**
Huh? Really?
**[11:32] Saria**
Seiichi, you're amazing!
**[11:35] Destra**
I heard you're a real hero!
**[11:38] Seiichi**
What are you doing here all by yourself?
**[11:41] Destra**
Me?
**[11:42] Destra**
I'm on a journey.
**[11:44] Destra**
Searching for fun things to do.
**[11:46] Saria**
Wow, how nice!
**[11:48] Saria**
We're on our way back now.
**[11:51] Destra**
Hey...
**[11:52] Destra**
Sensei, are you happy right now?
**[11:57] Saria**
He is! Right, Seiichi?
**[12:00] Seiichi**
Y-Yeah.
**[12:03] Destra**
I'm jealous.
**[12:05] Seiichi**
Huh? What'd you say?
**[12:07] Destra**
Nothing. See you, Seiichi-sensei.
**[12:10] Saria**
You're leaving?
**[12:13] Destra**
It's okay.
**[12:14] Destra**
We'll meet again for sure.
**[12:17] Destra**
Bye-bye.
**[12:37] Seiichi**
Hey, Ar!
**[12:41] Artoria**
S-Seiichi?
**[12:43] Artoria**
Why are you here?
**[12:45] Artoria**
What about Wimberg? What about Saria?
**[12:48] Seiichi**
I came back all by myself
because I wanted to see you alone.
**[12:53] Seiichi**
You're the only one I have
eyes for right now, Ar.
**[12:56] Artoria**
Wh-Where is this coming from?
**[13:00] Seiichi**
Ar, may I hug you?
**[13:04] Artoria**
Wh-What are you saying?
**[13:09] Artoria**
S-Sei—
**[13:12] Gempel**
*Got you.*
**[13:16] Artoria**
What are you saying?!
**[13:21] Artoria**
What has gotten into you?!
**[13:25] Artoria**
Seiichi!
**[13:27] Artoria**
Seiichi, are you okay?!
**[13:29] Gempel**
* Does this Seiichi guy go*
* through this all the time?*
**[13:30] Artoria**
Sorry, it was force of habit!
**[13:33] Artoria**
B-But...
**[13:35] Artoria**
I really was worried about you back then.
**[13:42] Artoria**
I'm truly glad you came back to life.
**[13:47] Gempel**
* I'm the one who brought*
* him back to life, though.*
**[13:50] Artoria**
I told you before, right?
**[13:52] Artoria**
People call me the Calamity,
**[13:54] Artoria**
but you accepted everything
about me, and I'm grateful for that.
**[13:59] Artoria**
So I want to accept everything about you, too.
**[14:04] Seiichi**
Everything...
**[14:08] Gempel Boy**
* No one pays attention to my*
* feelings, to my true face.*
**[14:18] Seiichi**
Why?
**[14:21] Artoria**
I-Isn't that obvious?
**[14:23] Artoria**
Because I—
**[14:25] Seiichi**
You?
**[14:27] Artoria**
Because I love you!
**[14:29] Seiichi**
L-L-L...
**[14:35] Seiichi**
L-Love?
**[14:37] Artoria**
So, Seiichi, go ahead... and hug me!
**[14:46] Gempel**
*Is Hiiragi Seiichi really such a good guy?!*
**[14:52] Artoria**
H-Huh?
**[14:55] Artoria**
Don't ignore me!
**[14:56] Seiichi**
Again?!
**[15:02] Gempel**
* Why do they all adore*
* Hiiragi Seiichi so much?*
**[15:06] Gempel**
* I decided to spend some time*
* as Seiichi in order to find out.*
**[15:12] Beatrice**
Everyone did so well on their last quiz.
**[15:14] Beatrice**
It's thanks to you, Sensei!
**[15:15] Seiichi**
Oh, no, that's not true.
**[15:17] Beatrice**
Thank you so much.
**[15:24] Seiichi**
This is quite a feast!
**[15:26] Barnabus**
It's nice to eat outdoors like this
every once in a while.
**[15:31] Oliga**
The air is nice, too.
**[15:33] Lulune**
Yeah! This air is yummy!
**[15:36] Seiichi**
Lulune, you mean the sandwiches, not the air.
**[15:40] Lulune**
Naturally!
**[15:44] Gempel**
*Not good!*
**[15:45] Gempel**
* I was planning to learn*
* why they adore Seiichi,*
**[15:48] Gempel**
*but I've started enjoying this school life!*
**[15:52] Artoria**
So, Principal...
**[15:54] Artoria**
You wanted to discuss
something with us, didn't you?
**[15:58] Barbanus**
Yes, actually.
**[16:00] Barbanus**
It's about the Great Devil Order.
**[16:04] Oliga**
You did say that the day
of the final battle was close.
**[16:08] Barnabus**
That's right.
**[16:09] Barnabus**
What I want to talk to you about is...
**[16:16] Artoria**
What's this doing here?!
**[16:17] Seiichi**
Hmph. It's probably a monster that was
awakened by the Great Devil's pulse.
**[16:27] Oliga**
This thing's strong!
**[16:29] Barnabus**
Get away from it right now!
**[16:32] Artoria**
I'd love to, but...
**[16:46] Artoria**
Seiichi!
**[16:48] Oliga**
Onii-chan, you're amazing!
**[16:49] Lulune**
You're so reliable, Master!
**[16:53] Barnabus**
That makes it clear.
**[16:56] Barnabus**
To be honest, I've sensed an evil
presence here at the academy lately,
**[17:01] Barnabus**
but I hadn't been able to locate it.
**[17:05] Barnabus**
He's an assassin sent
by the Great Devil Order.
**[17:11] Oliga**
What's wrong, Onii-chan?
**[17:12] Oliga**
You don't look happy.
**[17:14] Seiichi**
That's not true. I'm always with—
**[17:17] Kannazuki**
Hold it right there!
**[17:22] Artoria**
Kannazuki Karen? Why are you here?
**[17:25] Kannazuki**
You might be able to deceive their eyes,
**[17:27] Kannazuki**
but you can't deceive my nose!
**[17:30] Kannazuki**
That man isn't Seiichi-kun!
**[17:39] Oliga**
Onii-chan?
**[17:40] Lulune**
S-Seriously?
**[17:42] Artoria**
Do you... h-have any proof of that?
**[17:46] Kannazuki**
I have evidence!
**[17:53] Lulune**
Airin?
**[17:54] Kannazuki**
The one who approached Lulune
several days ago was a fake Airin.
**[17:59] Kannazuki**
I rescued the real one from
the academy's chicken coop.
**[18:03] Airi**
Man, you really saved me from that one!
**[18:07] Airi**
I don't know what happened,
**[18:09] Airi**
but when I came to, I was with the chickens.
**[18:15] Kannazuki**
Even if you can copy his
appearance and abilities,
**[18:18] Kannazuki**
you can't copy Seiichi-kun's
fragrant body odor.
**[18:23] Artoria**
Then... who in the world are you?
**[18:28] Gempel**
Guess the cat's out of the bag now!
**[18:31] Kannazuki**
So bright!
**[18:35] Kannazuki**
I'm one of the Great Devil Order's top four,
**[18:38] Kannazuki**
Gempel the Doppelganger.
**[18:40] Barnabus**
One of the Great Devil Order's top four?!
**[18:45] Gempel**
You're right.
**[18:47] Gempel**
I used the chaos of the fight
between Seiichi and the apostles
**[18:52] Gempel**
to swap places with that lady there.
**[18:57] Artoria**
Why would you do that?!
**[18:59] Gempel**
Because I want to capture you all
and eliminate you in front of Seiichi.
**[19:03] Gempel**
That's the best strategy for
plunging him into the pit of despair!
**[19:08] Lulune**
What?!
**[19:11] Gempel**
At least, that was the plan before
I became Seiichi and realized something.
**[19:16] Gempel**
I lived my entire life
without being loved by anyone,
**[19:21] Gempel**
so I never cared if anyone else died.
**[19:25] Gempel**
But now, I think I understand.
**[19:27] Gempel**
Losing the people precious
to you is a very sad thing.
**[19:34] Gempel**
That's why I couldn't help saving you all.
**[19:39] Gempel**
I'm such an idiot.
**[19:42] Artoria**
You...
**[19:47] Gempel**
From now on, I think I'll try to find
someone to accept me like Seiichi did.
**[19:52] Gempel**
Someone who will be fond of me.
**[19:54] Gempel**
At least, that's how I want to live.
**[19:57] Gempel**
Though I doubt I'll ever measure up to him.
**[20:02] Gempel**
Later.
**[20:05] Kannazuki**
You can do it.
**[20:08] Kannazuki**
I can smell that potential in you.
**[20:14] Gempel**
Thanks, lady with the keen nose.
**[20:21] Artoria**
Should we really just let him go?
**[20:24] Barnabus**
With his power, it would be
a trivial matter to kill us all.
**[20:30] Barnabus**
Yet he didn't do that.
**[20:33] Barnabus**
So I want to believe in him.
**[20:37] Barnabus**
I want to believe there's a ray of hope
**[20:40] Barnabus**
for those who have made mistakes, as well.
**[20:52] Gempel**
Well, what should I do now?
**[21:02] Gempel**
You, huh?
**[21:05] Gempel**
Perfect timing.
**[21:07] Gempel**
I'm leaving the Great Devil Order.
**[21:12] Gempel**
I don't care about all this despair
and Great Devil stuff anymore.
**[21:16] Gempel**
So I'm going to find someone
to love, who'll love m—
**[21:34] Saria**
That boy was cute, wasn't he?
**[21:36] Seiichi**
Yeah, he was.
**[21:40] Saria**
What's the matter?
**[21:41] Seiichi**
Well...
**[21:42] Seiichi**
I just feel like I've seen him
somewhere before.
**[23:21] Guscle**
Everyone, the battle against
the Great Devil Order is nigh!
**[23:24] Guscle**
So let's put our spirit into it!
**[23:26] All**
Yeah!
**[23:31] Vitor**
Now, let's commence the operation.
**[23:35] Seiichi**
A murderer is on the loose
in that crazy guild!
**[23:38] Seiichi**
The victim is the pacifier man!
**[23:39] Seiichi**
Wait, who's that?
**[23:40] Seiichi**
Guscle and the others set out to resolve it,
**[23:42] Seiichi**
but wait, will I get to show up at all?!
**[23:44] Seiichi**
Next time: "Vitor the Resonance."
***SIGN*** Next Time
Victor the Resonance
**[23:46] Seiichi**
It's a sausage fest of perverted
gentlemen showing off!
