You win this round, witch's apprentice.
**[03:02] Adonis**
Look.
**[03:04] Adonis**
It's the Southern Triple Cross.
**[03:07] Adonis**
We're back on the planet's surface.
**[03:12] Doroka**
The surface...
**[03:18] Adonis**
We'll begin our conquest of Redia by doing
whatever we can. Start small, as they say.
**[03:28] (Flashback) Doroka**
Wait, Adonis. They're still there.
**[03:31] (Flashback) Doroka**
There are witches who are still alive.
**[03:34] (Flashback) Adonis**
Hear me, system.
**[03:37] (Flashback) Adonis**
Change transfer coordinates.
**[03:40] (Flashback) Adonis**
Planet's surface, coordinates 37N-42.

We'll attack cities and villages on our way
to Redia in the northern hemisphere.
**[04:03] Adonis**
We'll procure information
and supplies as we prepare ourselves.
**[04:08] Adonis**
I'd like medicine, too.
**[04:15] Doroka**
I want to go back to the others.
**[04:19] Adonis**
You must be stupid.
**[04:21] Adonis**
There's no way any of the
witches on the moon survived.
**[04:24] Doroka**
That's not true.
**[04:26] Doroka**
Send me back.
**[04:28] Adonis**
What are you, a spoiled child?
**[04:30] Doroka**
Are you talking about yourself?
**[04:32] Doroka**
All you care about is revenge.
**[04:37] Adonis**

Nostalgic Memories.
**[04:42] Doroka**
Promise me you won't attack us or Adonis.
**[04:49] Doroka**
Promise me this, and I'll dispel my magic.
**[04:53] Doroka**
Let's shake hands and make up.
**[04:55] Doroka**
Don't.
**[04:57] Adonis**
I see now why you didn't
fit in with the other witches.
**[05:01] Adonis**
You must be out of your mind
to want to reconcile with humans.
**[05:08] Doroka**
I always wanted to meet you.
**[05:11] Doroka**
I wanted to know what kind of person
Chloe had chosen as her apprentice.
**[05:15] Doroka**
I was dying to know what
kind of person Adonis was.
**[05:21] Doroka**
Despite being a human,
he was a witch's apprentice.
**[05:23] Doroka**
Living between two worlds,
**[05:27] Doroka**
I believed you could become
a bridge between humans and witches.
**[05:32] Doroka**
You were my hope.
**[05:37] Adonis**
See?
**[05:39] Adonis**
You understand nothing about me.
**[05:42] Doroka**
Then how far will you go?
**[05:45] Doroka**
I know you sensed it during
the battle on the moon.
**[05:48] Doroka**
Just as you hate humankind,
they'll never forgive you.
**[05:53] Doroka**
The fighting will never stop.
**[05:56] Doroka**
If someone doesn't end it,
hate will never be erased from our world—
**[06:00] Adonis**
Your words mean nothing to me.
**[06:04] Adonis**
Chloe's life is more precious
than all of humanity.
**[06:08] Adonis**
The world that took her from me
deserves to be destroyed.
**[06:13] Doroka**
And what will you sacrifice to achieve that?
**[06:16] Doroka**
What happened to the witches
because of your rage?
**[06:19] Doroka**
Because you summoned the humans there...
**[06:22] Adonis**
We're back on the surface
because I summoned them.
**[06:28] Adonis**
Your friends served as a useful smokescreen.
**[06:32] Doroka**
How could you?
**[06:35] Doroka**
How could you say that?
**[06:39] Doroka**
They did everything they could
to survive the witch hunts!
**[06:42] Doroka**
How dare you belittle
their lives—belittle us!
**[06:46] Adonis**
Who's belittling who?
**[06:48] Adonis**
You keep blathering on and on,
**[06:51] Adonis**
but haven't you witnessed
countless friends die?
**[06:54] Adonis**
And yet you want to forgive the humans?
**[06:56] Adonis**
You're the one committing the greatest
offense against your friends' lives!
**[07:02] Doroka**
But...
**[07:05] Doroka**
Revenge won't heal your wounds.
**[07:09] Adonis**
I don't care.
**[07:10] Adonis**
I don't have anything left to lose.
**[07:27] Doroka**
You still have the life Chloe protected.
**[07:30] Doroka**
No matter how cruel, hollow,
or cold this world is,
**[07:36] Doroka**
don't let that change you.
**[07:40] Doroka**
I won't tell you to forgive them
for what they've done.
**[07:43] Doroka**
But if you continue with your revenge,
it will shatter your heart.
**[07:48] Doroka**
You'll end up like the humans
who took Chloe from you.
**[07:53] Doroka**
You still have plenty to lose.
**[08:02] Adonis**
You don't get it.
**[08:06] Adonis**
Revenge is proof of my existence.
**[08:10] Adonis**
Irreplaceable proof
that Chloe lived with me.
**[08:16] Adonis**
I feel like all traces of Chloe's existence
would vanish if I stopped seeking revenge.
**[08:22] Adonis**
I'm scared.
**[08:24] Adonis**
Do you understand that?
**[08:32] Adonis**
All you do is cry.
**[08:36] Doroka**
I know. I'm sorry.
**[08:39] Doroka**
I...
**[08:46] Doroka**
Adonis?
**[08:49] Mohawk**
Look at the hot couple.
**[08:51] Mohawk**
Let's see... Here's your update.
**[08:54] Mohawk**
I see a couple engaging in a passionate
embrace under the moon at 12 o'clock.
**[09:00] Bandanna**
I'm amazed they're going at it
in the middle of this desert.
**[09:04] Gas Mask**
Think they're slaves
who escaped from the city?
**[09:06] Gas Mask**
They both look too decent for that.
**[09:08] Mohawk**
They're probably just
a couple of kids who eloped.
**[09:11] Bandanna**
What a pain in the ass.
**[09:13] Gas Mask**
No amount of stupidity surprises me anymore.
**[09:16] Gas Mask**
We're not living in the old world anymore.
**[09:19] Gas Mask**
So, what should we do, Mr. Punch?

**[09:43] Adonis**
I've had enough of waking up
in places I don't recognize.
**[09:50] Adonis**
I lost consciousness, and then...
**[10:02] (Flashback) Doroka**
Excuse me. Please help us.
**[10:06] (Flashback) Doroka**
My friend is hurt.
**[10:11] (Flashback) Doroka**
We're lost.
**[10:18] Adonis**
Which means we're at those bikers' hideout.
**[10:22] Punch**
You're awake, kid?
**[10:26] Punch**
Look at those eyes. Have you killed someone?
**[10:33] Punch**
Have a drink.
**[10:35] Punch**
Nothing helps you get over an injury better.
**[10:40] Adonis/Id**
*So he's a vagrant.*
**[10:41] Adonis**
I'm not into sipping on sewer water.
**[10:46] Punch**
Now that's funny.
**[10:48] Punch**
Calling humanity's greatest
invention sewer water?
**[10:56] Punch**
I'm Punch. I run this place.
**[11:00] Adonis/Id**
*Is "this place" a settlement after all?*
**[11:03] Adonis/Id**
*It doesn't seem to be under Redia's control.*
**[11:06] Adonis**
I was with a young woman.
**[11:09] Adonis**
Where is she?
**[11:11] Punch**
The pink-haired girl? She's a cutie.
**[11:15] Punch**
Is she your girlfriend?
**[11:17] Punch**
She was taking care of you
until a moment ago.
**[11:19] Punch**
Some of our youngsters dragged her off.
**[11:23] Adonis**
Answer the question.
**[11:25] Adonis**
What have you done with her?
**[11:28] Punch**
Don't be so angry.
**[11:32] Punch**
Come with me, kid.
**[11:44] Punch**
The wastelands.
**[11:46] Punch**
The other side of
the super-industrial revolution.
**[11:51] Punch**
People from developing countries, refugees,
and slaves who have escaped from Redia.
**[11:57] Punch**
Everyone left behind by science
ends up here and becomes a vagrant.
**[12:06] Adonis**
Sounds miserable.
**[12:08] Punch**
Right?
**[12:09] Doroka**
No! Stop!
**[12:14] Doroka**
Please stop!
**[12:17] Doroka**
I can't do it!
**[12:20] Doroka**
No! Stop!
**[12:25] Adonis**
What are they doing to her?
**[12:27] Punch**
We don't get many women around here,
especially not young ones.
**[12:32] Punch**
Your girlfriend's *real* good at screaming.
**[12:43] Adonis**
Scum.
**[12:51] Doroka**
I can't! I'm going to fall!

**[13:20] Doroka**

I'm more worried about yours.
**[13:24] Doroka**
Oh, right. These are for you.

What are these? I don't want them.
**[13:39] Doroka**
What?!
**[13:41] Punch**
Hey, boys.
**[13:43] Punch**
We're throwing a party. Get set up.
**[13:46] Vagrant E**
Yeah!
**[13:46] Vagrant F**
Our first drink in 12 hours!
**[13:48] Punch**
Help them with the party.
**[13:48] Vagrant G**
Let's get hammered!
**[13:50] Punch**
The least you can do is serve us
after we rescued you.
**[13:58] Vagrant H**
Chug, chug!
**[14:01] Vagrant I**
That's it! Don't let him beat you!
**[14:03] Vagrant J**
More drinks!
**[14:04] Vagrant L**
We need three more tankards!
**[14:05] Vagrant**
I'm empty!
**[14:06] Vagrant K**
Me, too!
**[14:08] Doroka**
Okay, coming.
**[14:12] Old Man**
So you're the girl Punch found?
**[14:16] Doroka**
Yes. He rescued me.
**[14:21] Old Man**
You sweet thing. Such a cute girl.
**[14:25] Old Man**
Wait, no!

**[14:43] Doroka**
Let me know when your cup is empty.
**[14:47] Vagrant M**
Not bad, girlie!
**[15:08] Bandanna**
Are you and your boyfriend fighting?
**[15:11] Doroka**
B-Boy... What?
**[15:12] Doroka**
We're not in that kind of relationship.
**[15:15] Gas Mask**
If you're not together, then what
were you two doing out here?
**[15:19] Mohawk**
Nah, they must be dating.
**[15:21] Mohawk**
After all, she's cute. I'm so jealous.
**[15:24] Bandanna**
It's not like that, idiot.
**[15:26] Bandanna**
They probably fled here after their country
was wiped out by Redia, like us.
**[15:32] Doroka**
We're, uh... t-travelers.
**[15:38] Doroka**
Ado...
**[15:40] Doroka**
My friend and I are currently
traveling the world.
**[15:44] Doroka**
This place is really nice.
**[15:52] Vagrant N**
This girl is too funny. She's awesome.
**[15:56] Bandanna**
Did you hear that? She said
she's traveling the world.
**[16:02] Doroka**
You're right.
**[16:07] Doroka**
What? Are you all right?
**[16:14] Doroka**
What happened to all of you?
**[16:18] Adonis**
You ended up vagrants because you're not
careful what you put in your mouths, idiots.
**[16:24] Doroka**
Adonis, what did you do?
**[16:27] Doroka**
Did you poison their drinks?
**[16:28] Adonis**
No.
**[16:31] Adonis**
A few tweaks to alcohol's formula
turns it into a tranquilizer.
**[16:37] Adonis**
Can't you tell by looking at the formula?
**[16:41] Adonis**
Aren't you supposed to be a witch?
***SIGN*** Aren't you
supposed to
be a witch?
**[16:44] Doroka**
I-I'm too stupid to understand.
**[16:48] Doroka**
But this means no one's dead, right?
**[16:51] Adonis**
Not yet.
**[16:53] Doroka**
Wait!
**[16:55] Doroka**
Adonis, I think you've got
the wrong idea about them.
**[16:58] Doroka**
These people have been really kind.
**[17:01] Doroka**
They rescued us from the middle of the
desert and gave us medicine and bandages.
**[17:06] Adonis**
So, what?
**[17:08] Doroka**
They saved our lives.
**[17:10] Adonis**
Have you heard the expression
"pardons make offenders"?
**[17:13] Doroka**
If it wasn't for these people, you'd be—
**[17:17] Adonis**
I'm not going to kill them.
**[17:20] Adonis**
Vagrants are subhuman.
They're not worth killing.
**[17:26] Adonis**
Also...
**[17:28] Adonis**
I've decided I don't need you after all.
**[17:33] Adonis**
Later.
**[17:35] Doroka**
Wait. Why?
**[17:38] Adonis**
Unlike you, I can't laugh
after losing someone important to me.
**[17:44] Adonis**
I can't imagine joking around
with people like this.
**[17:50] Adonis**
You and I are fundamentally incompatible.
**[17:56] Doroka**
But what will happen
if they find out who we are?
**[18:02] Doroka**
We have to blend in with humans.
**[18:05] Doroka**
I can't let them suspect I'm a witch.
**[18:09] Doroka**
So I laugh and keep up appearances.
**[18:13] Doroka**
But I'm obviously not fine
after what happened to—
**[18:17] Adonis**
If we're not compatible,
then don't end up like me, Doroka.
**[18:42] Doroka**
Thank you. You're so kind.
**[18:45] Punch**
Did your boyfriend leave?
**[18:48] Doroka**
Mr. Punch.
**[18:51] Doroka**
He's not my boyfriend.
**[18:54] Punch**
Either way, he's one brazen guy.
**[18:57] Punch**
He left without thanking me.
**[19:01] Punch**
And he left a girl here all on her own?
**[19:05] Punch**
You were right to break up with him.
**[19:10] Doroka**
No, he...
**[19:16] (Flashback) Adonis**
Don't end up like me.
**[19:20] Doroka/Id**
*He's actually very kind.*
**[19:36] (Flashback) Doroka**
Revenge won't heal your wounds.
**[19:40] (Flashback) Doroka**
No! Don't do this, Adonis!
**[19:43] (Flashback) Doroka**
What would Chloe think
if she could see you now?
**[19:46] (Flashback) Doroka**
It was the name the world's greatest
witch gave to her beloved student.
**[19:52] (Flashback) Doroka**
You're not alone anymore, Adonis.
**[19:57] Adonis**
Damn it.
**[20:00] Adonis/Id**
*Pursuers?*
**[20:02] Adonis/Id**
*Was the tranquilizer too weak?*
**[20:05] Adonis/Id**
*Or are they from Redia?*
**[20:07] Adonis/Id**
*No, it doesn't matter.*
**[20:11] Adonis/Id**
*I'll kill anyone who gets in my way.*
**[20:13] Adonis/Id**
*Who they are changes nothing.*
**[20:19] Punch**
Adonis the witch's apprentice.
**[20:22] Doroka**
Wh-What did you just say?
**[20:24] Doroka**
That's not him. He's, uh...
**[20:26] Punch**
He's a completely different man now.
**[20:29] Doroka**
What?
**[20:30] Punch**
I'll never forget that day.
**[20:33] Punch**
I saw it as I lay dying.
**[20:38] Punch**
Glittering snow.
**[20:41] Punch**
The ice witch.
**[20:50] Punch**
The greatest happiness a man can know
**[20:52] Punch**
is having something worth
fighting against the world for.
**[20:58] Doroka**
Mr. Punch...
**[21:00] Punch**
Maybe you're right,
**[21:04] Punch**
but you'll never settle an argument over
whether or not revenge is wrong.
**[21:11] Punch**
This world is so relative,
it makes you want to cover your eyes.
**[21:17] Punch**
That kid chose revenge.
**[21:19] Punch**
Even if it leads to his death,
that's his choice.
**[21:25] Punch**
What will you do?
**[21:29] Doroka**
I don't want anyone else to die because
I failed to protect Anna and the others.
**[21:37] Doroka**
So I won't let Adonis die.
**[21:39] Punch**
Then should you be here
talking to me, witch?
**[21:44] Doroka**
Move, Adonis!
**[21:47] Adonis**
What?
**[21:53] Adonis**
You idiot! Are you trying to kill me?
**[21:57] Doroka**
Adonis, I'll do my best
not to get in your way, so...
**[22:03] Adonis**
What?
**[22:05] Doroka**
Let's travel together.
**[22:10] Doroka**
I've thought about it,
and I think you need me.
**[22:14] Doroka**
Besides, it's dangerous to travel alone.
**[22:15] Doroka**
And they say good company
makes the road shorter.
**[22:18] Doroka**
I'd get lonely by myself.
**[22:20] Doroka**
Not just me, but both of us.
**[22:24] Doroka**
So I guess you could say
we should support one another...
**[22:27] Adonis**
Why didn't she stop?
**[22:33] Adonis**
Such a noisy girl.
**[22:37] Doroka**
How do you stop this thing?
**[22:44] Punch**
You'd better not make her cry...
**[22:48] Doroka**
Help me!
**[22:49] Adonis**
Use the brakes!
**[22:51] Adonis**
It's that thing that looks like a lever!
**[22:51] Punch**
...Chloe's beloved apprentice.
