[00:14] Wis
    Please, show mercy.
[00:16] Wis
    I am but a lowly peasant from a poor village.
[00:18] Wis
    I have lost my parents and am an orphan.
[00:22] Wis
    It is only through your
    mercy that I can survive.
[00:27] Wis
    If you feel any pity at all after
    seeing how wretched I look...
[00:32] Wis
    Please... spare some change so
    that I may not starve to death.
[00:52] Father
    You only managed six pence?!
    You're absolutely worthless!
[00:56] Father
    Who do you think is feeding you,
     you filthy little girl?!
[01:01] Father
    I don't run a charity here!
[01:23] Wis Narrator
    Life is hard right now...
[01:26] Wis Narrator
    But it's not all bad.
[01:29] Wis Narrator
    There's a window on the
    farthest side of the attic.
[01:33] Wis Narrator
    If I knock on it three
    times after midnight...
[01:40] Wis
    Marbas...
[01:41] Wis
    Marbas, are you there?
[01:44] Marbas
    Yes.
[01:48] Marbas
    I'm here, Wisteria.
[01:51] Wis Narrator
    This was the way I arranged a secret meeting
[01:54] Wis narrator
    between myself and a certain demon.
[02:02] Sign
    Night One
[02:08] Wis
    Marbas, you came to see me again.
[02:12] Marbas
    Yes.
[02:13] Wis
    Then—
[02:14] Father
    Hey, you little brat!
[02:16] Father
    You're still awake?
[02:18] Wis
    Father...
[02:19] Father
    Damn it! I told you we have to
    get up early again tomorrow!
[02:22] Father
    If you can't make any money again,
    you're in for another beating!
[02:26] Father
    You hear me?!
[02:31] Marbas
    Good grief. It may be strange for
    a demon like myself to say this,
[02:35] Marbas
    but to think that someone who makes an
    orphan beg in the streets for money
[02:39] Marbas
    dares call himself "Father."
[02:41] Wis
    He takes care of me. And it's not begging!
[02:47] Wis
    Those who hear of my tale on the streets
    become so moved that they give me money.
[02:53] Wis
    It's proper compensation!
    I'm doing real work here!
[02:57] Marbas
    Well, I guess that's one way to put it.
[03:01] Marbas
    So it's already been a month.
[03:09] Marbas
    I guess there really isn't
[03:11] Marbas
    anyone who can see me.
[03:16] Marbas
    If there's no one to acknowledge you,
[03:18] Marbas
    it's the same as not being there.
[03:22] Marbas
    So I must continue existing for eternity
[03:26] Marbas
    in this body that will never die.
[03:29] (Flashback) Wis
    Please, show mercy.
[03:31] (Flashback) Wis
    If you feel any pity at all after
    seeing how wretched I look...
[03:37] (Flashback) Wis
    Please... spare some change
    so that I may not star—
[03:38] Passerby
    Out of the way!
[03:47] (Flashback) Marbas
    How unfortunate. It's hard to watch you, girl.
[03:52] (Flashback) Marbas
    Do you really plan to
    continue this until you die?
[03:56] (Flashback) Marbas
    Don't you get sick of living?
[04:01] (Flashback) Marbas
    Here I am, taking out my frustrations on
    someone who can neither see nor hear me.
[04:05] (Flashback) Marbas
    I'm losing my mind.
[04:13] (Flashback) Marbas
    Wait... Can you see me?
[04:17] (Flashback) Father
    What are you just standing there for?!
[04:20] (Flashback) Father
    Come! We're moving!
[04:41] (Flashback) Wis
    You're the one I saw earlier today...
[04:44] (Flashback) Wis
    You followed me here?!
[04:46] (Flashback) Marbas
    So you can see demons such as me.
[04:51] (Flashback) Wis
    Yes, ever since I was born.
[04:57] (Flashback) Wis
    Did you come to take my soul?
[05:01] (Flashback) Marbas
    No, I was just fascinated by the novelty
    of a human that could see me.
[05:05] (Flashback) Marbas
    That is all.
[05:07] (Flashback) Wis
    Uh...
[05:08] (Flashback) Wis
    Then could you perhaps tell me
    a story until I fall asleep?
[05:15] (Flashback) Marbas
    Why?
[05:16] (Flashback) Wis
    Well, um...
[05:18] (Flashback) Wis
    I just have a feeling I won't be
    having any good dreams tonight.
[05:27] Wis
    U-Um...
[05:30] Wis
    What story are you going to tell me today?
[05:33] Marbas
    You're asking for another story before bed?
[05:36] Marbas
    Don't blame me if you get hit again
    tomorrow because you couldn't wake up.
[05:39] Wis
    Oh, come on! This is the only
    thing I have to look forward to!
[05:45] Wis
    I want to listen to your stories and
    feel like I'm traveling myself!
[05:53] Marbas
    Well, then, I believe it was about
    200... no, 300 years ago.
[05:59] Wis
    You don't seem very sure.
[06:02] Marbas
    This is a story about the time I saw one
    of Shakespeare's plays here in London.
[06:42] Snow
    Tch... Pitiful.
[06:58] Takenami
    Don't let your guard down, Snow.
[07:00] Snow
    I never asked you to help me.
[07:04] Takenami
    Well, I am your superior, you know.
[07:08] Takenami
    According to HQ,
[07:10] Takenami
    the demon that was seen in
    London was a high-level demon.
[07:15] Snow
    So not this one.
[07:19] Snow
    On to the next.
[07:21] Wis
    Wow, that was so good!
[07:24] Wis
    Shakespeare... I can't believe
    a story can be so interesting!
[07:28] Wis
    It must've been even more
    amazing in the actual theater!
[07:31] Marbas
    Oh, it wasn't that impressive.
[07:34] Marbas
    I've seen all of the famous ones,
    but they were all mediocre.
[07:38] Marbas
    They don't really live
    up to their reputation.
[07:42] Wis
    Marbas... I bet you don't have any friends.
[07:46] Marbas
    What? What are you talking about?
[07:48] Marbas
    There aren't many humans who can s—
[07:50] Wis
    That's not what I mean.
[07:51] Wis
    For someone who's lived so long,
     you don't understand how others feel at all.
[07:56] Wis
    It's ironic.
[07:57] Marbas
    That can't be true.
    Though only for a short time...
[08:02] Marbas
    I can turn into a human.
[08:05] Wis
    Huh?
[08:06] Marbas
    In this form, other humans can also see me.
[08:09] Marbas
    So it's not as though I didn't
    have the opportunity
[08:13] Marbas
    to talk to others, as you seem to think.
[08:16] Marbas
    But it's nerve-racking and exhausting,
    so I cannot use it often.
[08:21] Marbas
    And...
[08:23] Marbas
    When ladies see this form, it rouses desire
     to pursue me, and that causes quite a stir.
[08:29] Wis
    I see...
[08:31] Marbas
    Yes.
[08:37] Marbas
    What? What was humorous
    about anything I just said?
[08:41] Wis
    Oh, dear.
[08:43] Wis
    If you can't figure that out,
    you still have a lot to learn, Marbas.
[08:48] Marbas
    I see.
[08:51] Marbas
    Well, I'll come by again.
[08:53] Wis
    Okay.
[08:54] Wis
    Marbas, thank you so much.
[08:58] Wis
    Since I met you, I can
    look forward to tomorrow.
[09:04] Wis
    Ever since I was little,
    I've always hated my eyes.
[09:10] Wis
    Because I can see things that others
    can't, people always feared me.
[09:14] Child 1
    You stupid monster! Go away!
[09:15] Wis
    Nothing good ever happened to me.
[09:16] Child 2
    You're so creepy!
[09:18] Wis
    But now, because my eyes can see you,
[09:24] Wis
    they are something that I treasure.
[09:35] Marbas
    I wonder why.
[09:37] Marbas
    She's just an unfortunate child
[09:41] Marbas
    who just happens to be able to see me.
[09:45] Marbas
    So why do I keep coming back to visit her?
[09:52] Father
    Girl.
[09:53] Father
    We've finally found a buyer for you.
[09:56] Wis
    A buyer? What?
[09:59] Father
    You fool. Did you really think just begging
     would be enough to keep you fed?
[10:05] Father
    That was just to show you off.
[10:08] Father
    My job is to take in and feed
    orphans that might clean up well,
[10:12] Father
    and then to sell them.
[10:17] Father
    Luckily for you, you're an
    exceptionally pretty girl,
[10:20] Father
    so you're ending up in the hands of a
    land-owning aristocrat instead of a brothel.
[10:25] Father
    You might live a decent life after all.
[10:29] Father
    You'll be handed off tomorrow.
[10:31] Father
    I suggest you enjoy your
    last supper until then.
[10:43] Marbas
    I see. So he was a slave trader.
[10:46] Wis
    It's just like before...
[10:50] Wis
    My brother... He was also taken away
    just like this when I was very young.
[10:57] Wis
    At first, I was told that he would be taken
    into a mansion to be an attendant,
[11:02] Wis
    but I haven't heard from him since.
[11:06] Wis
    Later, when I asked about the mansion,
     no one had ever heard of it.
[11:11] Wis
    We've both been tricked, and we're
    just going to keep suffering.
[11:18] Wis
    Please... Take me away from this place!
[11:21] Marbas
    I cannot.
[11:23] Wis
    But why?
[11:24] Marbas
    It would go against a code we demons follow.
[11:27] Marbas
    If we save a human without exacting a price,
    our bodies will retaliate and start to crumble.
[11:33] Marbas
    That is how we are made.
[11:38] Wis
    In that case...
[11:40] Wis
    Please, just take my soul already.
[11:46] Wis
    I know that demons can take a human's
    soul or something precious to them
[11:53] Wis
    in exchange for granting their wish.
[11:56] Wis
    I used to think there was no
    point in having my wish granted
[12:00] Wis
    if I had to give my life for it...
[12:03] Wis
    But if you took it from me,
     I could accept that.
[12:06] Wis
    My brother was the only person I could consider
     important to me, and now that he's gone...
[12:12] Wis
    All I have is you.
[12:14] Marbas
    Do you know why demons seek out souls?
[12:20] Marbas
    It's because they can add what
    they've taken to their own lifespan.
[12:26] Marbas
    But I am immortal and forever young.
[12:29] Marbas
    There's no point in me taking more life.
[12:32] Marbas
    On the contrary...
[12:33] Marbas
    I'm so bored that I wish
    I could just be done with this.
[12:42] Wis
    I see...
[12:45] Wis
    I guess you don't need anything anymore.
[13:12] Wis
    Say, Marbas.
[13:14] (Flashback) Wis
    Why did you come to London?
[13:18] (Flashback) Marbas
    Who knows? Perhaps it was
    to relieve some boredom.
[13:21] (Flashback) Wis
    I see. In that case...
[13:24] (Flashback) Wis
    Are you actually enjoying
    yourself right now?
[13:31] Snow
    Open up! Hey! I said open up, damn it!
[13:34] Takenami
    Snow, remember, this is a church.
[13:37] Takenami
    As one of the knights—
[13:40] Snow
    I don't give a shit about that!
[13:44] Marbas
    The Sword Cross Knights...
[13:46] Takenami
    If you don't stop, we'll be taking the
    cost of the broken door from your pay.
[13:50] Snow
    Wha—
[13:52] Snow
    Anything but that!
[13:55] Father
    What do you boys want?
    This is a sacred church.
[14:00] Snow
    Ah...
[14:02] Snow
    So you are home.
[14:06] Subordinate
    I've brought her.
[14:08] Lord
    Yes, good work.
[14:11] Subordinate
    Well, go on! Greet the master!
[14:13] Lord
    Now, now, it's quite all right.
[14:15] Subordinate
    Y-Yes, sir.
[14:17] Lord
    It's all right, child.
    You have nothing to fear.
[14:21] Lord
    Come here, Wisteria.
[14:23] Lord
    Starting today, you are my child.
[14:29] Lord
    Relax. This is your home now.
[14:33] Wis
    Yes, sir.
[14:36] Lord
    This is your bedroom.
[14:39] Wis
    Thank you.
[14:56] Snow
    Look.
[14:57] Snow
    We were tracking down a demon's
    presence, and it led us here.
[15:00] Snow
    You know anything about that?
[15:02] Father
    H-How the hell would I know?!
[15:08] Snow
    We know what business
    you're actually running here!
[15:11] Snow
    We would have no problem shutting it down!
[15:14] Father
    P-P-P-Please wait! I'll talk! I'll talk!
[15:17] Father
    I don't know about demons,
[15:19] Father
    but the silver-haired girl who was here
    would often talk to herself at night.
[15:24] Snow
    Silver hair? Where is she now?!
[15:27] Father
    I sold her off to some rich lord.
[15:31] Father
    From what I heard, he was a freak
    who got off on torturing kids.
[15:39] Snow
    You piece of shit!
[15:42] Snow
    Takenami!
[15:43] Snow
    Sorry, but there's something
    I've gotta take care of.
[15:45] Takenami
    Wait, then—
[15:50] Takenami
    What was that?!
[15:54] Snow
    Our measurement apparatus is going crazy!
[15:57] Wis
    Stay away!
[15:59] Lord
    Don't worry, now.
[16:00] Lord
    I just want to heal your
    poor, unfortunate soul...
[16:06] Wis
    No!
[16:12] Lord
    I see you're a feisty one.
[16:24] Lord
    You can't run away from me.
[16:31] Lord
    Just give it up.
[16:34] Lord
    You can't escape this mansion.
[16:40] Lord
    Now... Let's have some fun.
[16:52] Wis
    It can't be...
[16:53] Lord
    Who the hell are you?!
[16:56] Marbas
    Apparently, to do things the human way...
[17:01] Marbas
    All you need is money, correct?
[17:03] Marbas
    I'm here for the girl.
[17:06] Wis
    Marbas...
[17:08] Lord
    I rarely get a specimen as fine as this!
[17:11] Lord
    I don't care how much you've got!
    You're not taking her from me!
[17:19] Wis
    Marbas?!
[17:21] Marbas
    My body's already retaliating...
    That didn't take long.
[17:24] Lord
    What's his problem?
[17:27] Wis
    Marbas!
[17:29] Lord
    Why, you little—
[17:41] Wis
    Oh, no! Why?!
[17:44] Marbas
    I thought I had grown bored of everything.
[17:48] Marbas
    That I had nothing left to see in this world.
[17:53] Marbas
    But...
[17:54] Marbas
    The nights I spent with you were the only
    times I could forget about my boredom.
[18:00] Marbas
    It wasn't bad. And it had been
    so long since I felt like that.
[18:06] Marbas
    Wisteria...
[18:09] Marbas
    I thought I had given up on
    having any further desires...
[18:13] Marbas
    But it appears as though I want
    a future together with you.
[18:22] Demon
    So much noise...
[18:31] Wis
    Wait...
[18:32] Wis
    Did that man make a pact with a demon?!
[18:58] Wis
    Marbas!
[18:59] Demon
    You haven't made a pact.
[19:03] Marbas
    Shut up...
[19:04] Demon
    Did you really think you could beat me
     after you broke the rules?
[19:18] Marbas
    I'm not going to last.
[19:21] Demon
    This is the end.
[19:24] Wis
    Marbas, let's make a pact!
[19:26] Wis
    Will my eyes that allow me to see you,
     the one most important to me,
[19:30] Wis
    work as payment?
[19:33] Wis
    Please stay by my side...
[19:36] Wis
    Marbas!
[19:49] Marbas
    This girl...
[19:51] Marbas
    is not someone that worthless
    filth like you can touch.
[19:58] Demon
    Y-You... No, my lord, you're...
[20:02] Demon
    One of the Thirteen Calamities...
[20:08] Marbas
    Begone, vermin.
[20:28] Marbas
    You're a fool, you know that?
[20:30] Marbas
    I had just made up my mind to see all
    kinds of things in this world with you.
[20:36] Wis
    But this was the only thing I could offer...
[20:42] Wis
    Wasn't it?
[20:45] Wis
    So now, I just need you
    to see everything for me.
[20:50] Wis
    And tell me all about the wonderful
    things that still remain in this world.
[20:56] Wis
    By my side, in your own words.
[21:01] Marbas
    Yes. After all, we've made a pact.
[21:07] Marbas
    Now, where shall we go?
[21:11] Marbas
    I've never been so excited
    to plan a journey before.
[22:52] Snow
    So... the red-haired demon that barged in
    here ran off with the silver-haired girl?
[22:59] Lord
    Y-Yeah. It's too bad, too. Haven't had
    a good piece like her for a while.
[23:05] Snow
    What did you just call her?! Huh?!
[23:07] Takenami
    Stop it, Snow.
[23:09] Snow
    Hey, Takenami! You're gonna let me
    take care of this one, aren't you?
[23:14] Takenami
    Yeah. Our mission is to eradicate
    all of the demons in this world.
[23:21] Takenami
    You can continue killing them until
    you happen to run into that one.
[23:26] Snow
    Just a little longer...
[23:28] Snow
    Just a little longer,
    and I'll be able to see you.
[23:32] Snow
    Wisteria...
[23:34] Snow
    I promise I'll come to save you.
