[00:11] Naberius
    He's scouting for the Sword Cross Knights.
[00:14] Naberius
    They've already wormed
    their way onto the grounds.
[00:17] Diana
    Killing one of theirs will provide a pretext.
[00:19] Diana
    Take him outside the property and—
[00:21] Naberius
    Stupid.
[00:23] Naberius
    Kill 'im.
[00:24] Naberius
    Forget worrying about evidence.
[00:27] Naberius
    Y'know I can wipe him out completely,
    down to the last bone shard, right?
[00:31] Diana
    Take him away.
[00:33] Naberius
    You're wearing that get-up again?
    The one you picked out with that blind girl?
[00:38] Diana
    And? Is that a problem?
[00:42] Diana
    It's been a while, you know.
[00:45] Diana
    Being able to enjoy myself like that,
    with another girl my age.
[00:50] Diana
    If it wasn't for my position...
[00:53] Diana
    We might have been friends.
[00:56] Naberius
    I don't got a problem with your softer side,
[00:58] Naberius
    but you better not forget
    what you summoned me for.
[01:07] Diana
    I will never forget.
[01:09] Diana
    I, Lady Diana Blackbell, began this war
     with that blood-drenched banquet...
[01:18] Diana
    And I'm prepared to finish it.
[02:51] sign
    Night Four:      "Snowbound Manor"
[02:57] Marbas
    Come on.
[02:59] Marbas
    We need to hurry along if we want to
    reach our lodgings before nightfall.
[03:02] Wis
    Right, sorry about that.
[03:05] Marbas
    Isn't this... near the Blackbell family's lands?
[03:11] (Flashback) Diana
    If you ever need help,
     you can turn to us.
[03:15] Marbas
    We aren't going.
[03:17] Marbas
    Certainly not with
    that irritating hound around.
[03:22] Marbas
    Let's get a move on.
[03:24] Wis
    Okay...
[03:45] Marbas
    Hey, what's the matter?
[03:47] Marbas
    I know it's hard to walk,
    but we should really keep moving.
[03:55] Marbas
    H-Hey!
[03:57] Wis
    Feel... so... heavy...
[04:00] Wis
    Sor...ry...
[04:09] Diana
    What's the matter?
[04:11] Naberius
    I sense a demon.
[04:13] Naberius
    A mighty one.
[04:16] Diana
    A demon?
[04:18] Naberius
    Stay right there!
[04:26] Naberius
    You! What the hell are you...
[04:28] Marbas
    Shut up. Isn't it obvious?
[04:31] Marbas
    Help her!
[04:41] Diana
    A fever caused by exhaustion
    and cold, I believe.
[04:44] Diana
    She'll need rest for now.
[04:47] Marbas
    I see...
[04:48] Diana
    What exactly did you think you were doing?
[04:52] Diana
    It should've been obvious that
    making a lady walk through the snow
[04:55] Diana
    would cause something like this!
[04:57] Marbas
    But...
[04:58] Diana
    Some gentleman you are!
[05:01] Marbas
    Not... a gentleman?
[05:05] Naberius
    Oh, this is a riot!
[05:07] Naberius
    Your high-and-mighty self
[05:09] Naberius
    getting lectured and
    clamming up? It's fantastic!
[05:13] Diana
    Naberius...
[05:15] Naberius
    I thought I was gonna
    split my sides for a second!
[05:18] Naberius
    You looked to be in a right proper panic,
    carrying that kid through the snow!
[05:22] Naberius
    It's gonna keep me
    in stitches for the next century!
[05:26] diana
    Naberius!
[05:28] Marbas
    Naberius, you bastard...
[05:30] Naberius
    What, you wanna go right now, babysitter kitty?
[05:35] Marbas
    You ignominious mutt!
    I'll render you to ashes!
[05:38] Naberius
    Oh, stop! Seeing you get
    riled up is even funnier.
[05:41] Marbas
    You clearly want to die!
[05:42] Diana
    Would you two get out of here, now?!
[05:50] Marbas
    I have had enough of you, cur!
[05:53] Diana
    For pity's sake...
[05:56] Diana
    To think you made a pact as well.
[06:07] Marbas
    It seems humans...
[06:09] Marbas
    truly are fragile.
[06:12] Naberius
    If you've got a contract with a human,
    you really oughta get to know them better.
[06:16] Naberius
    They can be a real handful
    when you least expect it.
[06:20] Marbas
    Advice from you is
    the last thing I want to hear.
[06:24] Naberius
    You just had to show up now, didn't you?
[06:27] Naberius
    And with that attitude.
[06:29] Marbas
    Is now a problem?
[06:31] Naberius
    We're dealing with stuff.
[06:34] Marbas
    I've noticed there are no servants here,
    nor anyone else besides that girl.
[06:41] Marbas
    I take it that's part of the
    "stuff" you're dealing with?
[06:55] Sister
    Oh, Snow.
[06:57] Sister
    Welcome home!
[06:59] Snow
    There's an unusual feeling in the air here.
[07:01] Sister
    The commander's back.
[07:03] Snow
    The commander?
[07:05] Sister
    And the new mission is about to begin.
[07:11] Commander
    By the royal family's decree,
[07:14] Commander
    the time has come for a purge.
[07:17] Commander
    The Blackbells will be dealt with.
[07:20] Commander
    Stanley's group will go on ahead
    as an advance force.
[07:23] Commander
    I will be joining them.
[07:26] Stanley
    Commander, you needn't trouble yourself.
[07:29] Stanley
    Entrust us with this matter—
[07:30] Commander
    The demon in that mansion
    is of comparable or greater strength...
[07:34] Commander
    to Astaroth, who we captured the other day.
[07:38] Commander
    Be mindful, for the future of this order
    may depend on the outcome of this battle.
[07:44] Commander
    The contractor is believed
    to be the youngest daughter, Diana.
[07:47] Commander
    Do not underestimate her.
[07:50] Wis
    Lady Diana!
[07:52] Wis
    It's wonderful to see you again.
[07:54] Diana
    Oh, your nose...
[07:56] Naberius
    Look at you, wiping it with your fancy linen.
[07:59] Marbas
    I'm surprised you even realize its worth.
[08:02] Wis
    So you're a contractor as well.
[08:05] Wis
    That certainly is a coincidence!
[08:08] Diana
    Still, you really shouldn't
    linger here for long.
[08:13] Marbas
    She's right.
[08:15] Wis
    Um, I know I might not be
    able to offer much help...
[08:19] Wis
    But would you please tell more?
    About what's going on...
[08:24] Diana
    You might be right.
[08:26] Diana
    Perhaps you're here for a reason.
[08:31] Diana
    To begin with, I should explain
    to you my family's line of work.
[08:35] Diana
    For over 350 years, the Blackbell family
    has carried out a covert duty.
[08:43] Diana
    It all began when my ancestor,
    the first earl from the House of Blackbell,
[08:48] Diana
    made a pact with a demon
    to accomplish a certain goal.
[08:53] Diana
    "The next male heir
    of the House of Blackbell
[08:58] Diana
    will be born with the ability
    to see demons."
[09:03] Wis
    But you're...
[09:05] Diana
    My own perception of them
    was more of a coincidence.
[09:08] Diana
    The point being, with the
     ability to see demons,
[09:11] Diana
    we served as the royal family's
    official means of negotiating with them.
[09:17] Diana
    With the goal being to prevent
    their worst case scenario:
[09:20] Diana
    assassinations carried out via demonic pacts.
[09:26] Diana
    We are the "black bell"
    that calls forth demons.
[09:29] Diana
    For generations, our contracts have ensured
[09:31] Diana
    that no demonic assassination
    has ever come to bear fruit.
[09:33] Diana
    In time, it became both
    our title and house name,
[09:38] Diana
    as defenders against the unseen hands
    that would assail the royal family.
[09:42] Naberius
    But wouldn't you know it,
[09:43] Naberius
    eventually a rival force turned up
    to threaten the family's standing.
[09:47] Diana
    The organization that has made
    hunting demons their purpose...
[09:51] Diana
    The Sword Cross Order.
[09:53] Wis
    My brother is—
[09:59] Diana
    They've gained incredible influence since
    their current commander took his position.
[10:04] Diana
    I believe they covet
    the Blackbell family's duties.
[10:10] Diana
    Until six months ago, my brothers
    resisted in any way they could.
[10:14] Diana
    They tried to continue
    fulfilling their duty—
[10:14] Naberius
    What do you think you're doing?!
     That's nasty!
[10:17] Marbas
    Is there a problem?
[10:17] Diana
    Would you two please pipe down?!
[10:23] Diana
    But their struggle was fruitless.
[10:25] Wis
    Why?
[10:27] Diana
    For some reason, my brothers didn't
    inherit the ability to see demons.
[10:33] Diana
    This led to an inablilty
    to fulfill their duty,
[10:35] Diana
    exacerbated by the assassination
    of an aristocrat at a demon's hands.
[10:40] Diana
    And while this isn't publicly known,
[10:42] Diana
    they killed themselves in order
    to take responsibility for the failure.
[10:46] Diana
    The Blackbells' reputation is tarnished now,
[10:49] Diana
    and the Sword Cross Knights have
    taken the opportunity to act.
[10:53] Diana
    I believe this manor will
    soon become a battleground.
[10:57] Wis
    That's terrible.
[11:00] Diana
    It was lovely seeing you again, but...
[11:03] Diana
    Once your fever subsides,
    you must leave immediately.
[11:13] Marbas
    Are you all right being up and about?
[11:15] Wis
    Oh, yes. I'm sorry for the trouble.
[11:22] Wis
    Marbas?
[11:25] Marbas
    I'm sorry I made you walk through the snow.
[11:28] Marbas
    What is that expression for?
[11:29] Wis
    Well, I just...
[11:32] Marbas
    That Diana girl... and even that cur,
    Naberius, went on about something.
[11:37] Marbas
    About how I don't understand you.
[11:41] Marbas
    Which is why I'll need you to tell me
    if something is going on next time.
[11:46] Marbas
    It wasn't my intent to rush you.
[11:48] Marbas
    I've already lived idly for a long time.
[11:51] Marbas
    I don't mind waiting for you at all.
[11:59] Wis
    Thank you, Marbas.
[12:02] Wis
    I had better thank Lady Diana
    and Naberius as well.
[12:06] Wis
    They're really quite nice!
[12:08] Marbas
    As far as Naberius goes, I can't agree.
[12:12] Wis
    After hearing Lady Diana's story...
[12:15] Wis
    I started thinking about what would happen
    if she had to fight my brother.
[12:20] Wis
    I hope two people I care about
    don't have to fight each other.
[12:25] Marbas
    Even if the boy doesn't go
    after her, someone else will.
[12:29] Wis
    I know. But...
[12:32] Marbas
    You say all this, but you don't seem
    intent on preventing a fight.
[12:36] Wis
    It's not really my fight to stop.
[12:41] Wis
    A battle where one's life
    and pride are on the line
[12:43] Wis
    isn't something an outside party
    can make judgments about.
[12:48] Naberius
    I'm impressed, girly. You really do get it.
[12:51] Wis
    Naberius...
[12:53] Naberius
    Looks like you're feeling better.
[12:55] Naberius
    And you had better take human form already.
[12:59] Naberius
    You need to leave now.
[13:01] Naberius
    They got here faster than we figured.
[13:15] Diana
    I believe we last met at my
    debutante ball, Lord Stanley.
[13:19] Stanley
    I wish I could say it's nice
    to see you again...
[13:22] Stanley
    but I can't, considering the
    situation, my dear Diana.
[13:25] Shura
    Please! Let me take her head right now!
[13:29] Diana
    Someone doesn't know their manners.
[13:32] Stanley
    Do as you will.
[13:45] Vivian
    Shura!
[13:47] Diana
    Of all the insolence...
[13:48] Diana
    It's time you learned your place.
[13:55] Wis
    Lady Diana...
[13:57] Marbas
    We should hurry. I have no intention
    of getting involved in this.
[14:00] Wis
    Marbas...
[14:02] Marbas
    This isn't our battle.
[14:04] Wis
    But I...
[14:05] Wis
    Lady Diana and Naberius
    remind me so much of us!
[14:09] Wis
    If nothing else...
    I want to know what happens.
[14:18] Marbas
    We're only going to watch
    from the edge of the manor.
[14:21] Marbas
    That said, I'd expect things
    to be finished, by now.
[14:26] Marbas
    For all his flaws, Naberius is a great demon,
    of comparable standing to myself.
[14:32] Marbas
    No human foe ever stood a chance.
[14:35] Lucia
    Blasted demon!
[14:39] Stanley
    Lucia!
[14:42] Shura
    Vivian...
[14:44] Stanley
    He is quite a monster.
[14:47] Stanley
    I can only imagine the price
    she paid to tame him.
[14:49] Diana
    My wish is to have the royal family
    acknowledge my family's value once more.
[14:54] Diana
    The Sword Cross Knights will not
    stop that from happening.
[14:57] Diana
    Leave now, and tell your masters that the
     House of Blackbell is not to be trifled with!
[15:02] Shura
    Quit your yammering!
[15:13] Naberius
    Got a real death wish, eh?
[15:15] Diana
    No, Naberius!
[15:24] Marbas
    What is it?
[15:26] Wis
    I have...
[15:28] Wis
    a bad feeling.
[15:33] Diana
    Nabe...rius?
[15:41] Stanley
    Commander...
[15:44] Commander
    Now, then.
[15:46] Commander
    Lady Diana of the House of Blackbell.
[15:49] Commander
    Does that guard dog of yours
    know any other tricks?
[15:57] Diana
    Get up, Naberius!
[15:59] Diana
    Bring victory to my family!
[16:02] Diana
    I know that you're more powerful than this!
[16:06] Diana
    Fight!
[16:08] Diana
    Naberius!
[16:14] Naberius
    Damn right I will...
[16:15] Naberius
    Fool!
[16:28] Naberius
    Just who is this guy?
[16:30] Naberius
    Any of those wounds would
    have each been fatal for a human.
[16:33] Naberius**
    But he's not dead!
[16:35] Diana
    Could he be a demon?
[16:37] Naberius
    It's not that. Never seen
    anything like this before.
[16:40] Commander
    Are you done?
[16:56] Commander
    It seems I was right
    about you being unimpressive.
[17:00] Naberius
    He can't be human.
[17:19] Marbas
    What... is he doing?
[17:23] Wis
    Are they al—
[17:25] Marbas
    Stay hidden.
[17:28] Diana
    Naberius...
[17:31] Shura
    Damn...
[17:33] Shura
    That's our commander!
[17:36] Naberius
    You piece of shit...
[17:43] Marbas
    You!
[17:49] Marbas
    Naberius, you bastard.
[17:52] Marbas
    How dare you let a human
    get the best of you?!
[17:55] Marbas
    Have you no shame?!
[18:03] Naberius
    Asshole...
[18:05] Naberius
    Don't show up out of nowhere
    just to run your mouth!
[18:07] Marbas
    I described things as they are.
[18:10] Marbas
    I have no intention of letting
    a mangy mutt like you
[18:12] Marbas
    drag the reputation of the Thirteen
    Calamities of the Wasteland through the mud!
[18:15] Naberius
    Keep talking! Because I've got plenty
    to say right back at you, fleabag!
[18:20] Naberius
    And for the record, he ain't a human!
[18:22] Marbas
    I don't care, and stop making excuses!
[18:24] Naberius
    Is that right?!
[18:26] Marbas
    Shut your mouth!
[18:27] Commander
    I wasn't aware there was a second demon.
[18:31] Commander
    This may be the red-maned one that
    Takenami's unit wrote of in their report.
[18:36] Commander
    I'm not quite sure how
    you two know each other,
[18:38] Commander
    but I take it you're
    not here to aid the dog?
[18:43] Commander
    Demons typically don't
    fight alongside one another,
[18:47] Commander
    but there's clearly some
    sort of camaraderie here.
[18:51] Marbas/Naberius
    Who are you calling comrades?!
[18:59] Marbas
    He was able to withstand that?
[19:01] Marbas
    There's no way he's human.
[19:03] Naberius
    I just told you as much!
[19:05] Naberius
    Are those giant ears
    for decoration, you deaf feline?!
[19:07] Marbas
    You're yelping awfully loudly
    for someone I had to save.
[19:11] Diana
    Naberius, please!
[19:12] Naberius
    You stay out of this!
[19:15] Naberius
    Oh, I am right bloody pissed off now.
[19:19] Marbas
    The feeling is mutual.
[19:21] Marbas
    I can't believe I was caught up
    in this squabble...
[19:23] Naberius
    Well, it's not my fault!
    Fact of the matter is...
[19:26] Marbas
    True enough.
[19:29] Marbas
    He's the issue.
[19:31] Commander
    I see...
[19:32] Commander
    I'll need to choose carefully, here.
[19:36] Commander
    Lady Diana Blackbell!
[19:40] Commander
    I'd like to make an offer.
    Would you care to negotiate instead?
[19:45] Diana
    Negotiate?
[19:46] Naberius
    Are you having a laugh?
    Because I'm still ready for more.
[19:50] Commander
    In spite of your demon contract,
[19:53] Commander
    you have no official power of any sort.
[19:57] Commander
    I'd rather avoid further bloodshed
    and bring this to an amicable conclusion.
[20:02] Commander
    Could you convey my wishes...
[20:03] Commander
    to the lord of this manor?
[20:10] Diana
    Very well.
[20:15] Wis
    Lady Diana!
[20:16] Wis
    Lady Diana, are you all right?!
[20:19] Diana
    Yes.
[20:20] Wis
    Oh, I'm glad you're not hurt!
[20:22] Wis
    I was ever so worried!
[20:25] Diana
    Why did you do all this?
[20:27] Wis
    I mean, who would want to let a friend die?
[20:34] Diana
    That's really sweet of you.
[20:38] Naberius
    Bloody bastard poked me full of holes...
[20:44] Diana
    It's nice to have friends, isn't it?
[20:47] Marbas/Naberius
    It's nothing of the sort!
[20:49] Diana
    Why don't we go and warm
    ourselves by the fire?
[20:52] Wis
    Oh, right.
[20:53] Diana
    All of us, together.
[20:55] Marbas
    Hey!
[20:56] Naberius
    I just said it ain't like that!
[20:58] Marbas
    Wait! You've got the wrong idea!
[21:00] Marbas/Naberius
    You're wrong!
[22:35] Marbas
    So...
[22:36] Marbas
    Why exactly am I in
    this ridiculous outfit?
[22:41] Diana
    If I am going to face him
    as lady of the house,
[22:44] Diana
    it only makes sense
    that I have servants with me.
[22:47] Wis
    I wish I could see this.
[22:48] Marbas
    That doesn't explain why I have to do it!
[22:51] Diana
    Well, there's no one else.
[22:54] Naberius
    That's right, servant.
[22:56] Marbas
    Who are you supposed to be?
[22:57] Naberius
    Mind your manners there, servant.
[23:00] Marbas
    I'm no servant!
[23:02] Diana
    Naberius will pretend to be
    the head of the House of Blackbell,
[23:05] Diana
    my older brother, Noah Blackbell.
[23:08] Marbas
    What?!
[23:10] Naberius
    Make sure to address me as "master"
    from now on, kitten.
[23:18] Marbas
    I'm too humiliated for words...
[23:20] Marbas
    I suppose I'll just have to strike my master.
[23:23] Marbas
    Surely you'd relieve me of my position for that!
[23:25] Diana
    That won't do.
[23:26] Naberius
    Don't you owe us for looking
    after the little lady?
[23:30] Naberius
    Have some respect!
