**[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.*
