[00:01] Commander
    I'd like to make an offer.
    Would you care to negotiate instead?
[00:06] Diana
    Negotiate?
[00:07] Naberius
    Are you having a laugh? Is that it?
[00:09] Naberius
    Because I'm still ready for more.
[00:11] Commander
    In spite of your demon contract,
    you have no official power of any sort.
[00:17] Commander
    I'd rather avoid further bloodshed
    and bring this to an amicable conclusion.
[00:22] Commander
    Could you convey my wishes
    to the lord of this manor?
[00:31] Diana
    Very well.
[00:40] Diana
    Listen here, Naberius.
[00:42] Diana
    You have to behave with the kind
    of restraint that my brother,
[00:45] Diana
    the head of the House of Blackbell, would.
[00:48] Naberius
    I hear you.
[00:50] Naberius
    Gotta be a cool-headed gentleman, right?
[00:53] Wisteria
    Excuse me, Lady Diana,
    but what was your brother like?
[00:58] Diana
    Oh... all of my brothers were
    well-mannered and kind.
[01:03] Diana
    The exact opposite of Naberius, actually!
[01:07] Naberius
    Hey! I'm playing dress-up
    for your sake, y'know.
[01:11] Diana
    Thank you, Naberius. You look lovely.
[01:16] Diana
    Damn it... You think this is funny?
SIGN    Night Five: "Confronting Calamity"
[03:01] Marbas
    We're here.
[03:05] Marbas
    How did I end up doing this?
[03:07] Naberius
    Hey, Marbas!
[03:09] Naberius
    You're supposed to be my servant, man.
[03:12] Naberius
    You oughta open the door to the carriage.
[03:14] Marbas
    You cur!
[03:16] Diana
    Stay hidden in here
    while we're away, all right?
[03:19] Wis
    Lady Diana... please, be careful.
[03:25] Diana
    Of course. I'll be back.
[03:37] Commander
    You're finally here.
[03:39] Naberius
    I am the head of the House of Blackbell.
[03:42] Naberius
    It seems you entertained my sister
    and our demon the other day.
[03:47] Commander
    You're quite the strapping fellow.
[03:51] Commander
    Enough that it's odd I've not
    heard of you in high society.
[03:54] Commander
    Are you really who you claim to be?
[03:57] Naberius
    You're hardly in a place to talk
    about being hard to recognize.
[03:59] Naberius
    What sort of breeding makes a man think that
     making conversation in a mask is acceptable?
[04:04] Marbas
    He's actually a decent actor.
[04:08] Commander
    It seems further banter is pointless.
[04:10] Commander
    In that case, I'll be direct.
[04:14] Commander
    Her Majesty the Queen has commanded
    our order to purge the Blackbell family.
[04:20] Commander
    You failed in your duty to prevent
    demonic assassinations.
[04:23] Commander
    Not only have you proven useless,
[04:25] Commander
    but your family's ties to demonkind
    mark you as a clear and present threat.
[04:30] Commander
    Still, I'd like to make a proposal.
[04:33] Commander
    You desire the restoration
    of your family's glory, yes?
[04:37] Commander
    I can return to the royal family
    and plead your case.
[04:41] Commander
    But in exchange, you must swear
    to never deal with demons ever again.
[04:46] Commander
    Naturally, you will nullify your
    agreement with the great demon.
[04:50] Commander
    Regardless of your choice,
[04:52] Commander
    you do not have sufficient strength
    to contend with our order.
[04:55] Commander
    I would rather avoid a futile struggle.
[04:57] Commander
    Don't you think it's time to end this?
[05:00] Diana
    Is that right?
[05:03] Diana
    I absolutely refuse!
[05:05] Diana
    I am nobility! My honor holds
    more value than my life!
[05:10] Diana
    If the alternative is survival by
    means of charity, then I choose death!
[05:15] Commander
    The foolish response.
[05:17] Commander
    If you persist, you will be locked in
    battle with us until your death.
[05:23] Diana
    Then so be it!
[05:25] Diana
    I was prepared to do as much from the start!
[05:29] Commander
    This will mean fruitless bloodshed.
[05:32] Commander
    How unfortunate.
[05:39] Diana
    I'm back, Wisteria.
[05:41] Wisteria
    Lady Diana!
[05:43] Wisteria
    Welcome back.
[05:45] Marbas
    Hey, Naberius.
[05:46] Naberius
    You mean "master," my dimwitted servant.
[05:49] Marbas
    Hey, Master Mutt!
[05:51] Naberius
    What'd you call me?
[05:53] Marbas
    I've decided to watch
    how this battle turns out.
[06:00] Marbas
    I think I understand why you've chosen
    to stand with this girl, now.
[06:06] Sister
    What now, Commander?
[06:09] Commander
    I expected as much.
[06:11] Commander
    Send the signal bird to Snow.
[06:14] Sister
    Understood.
[06:17] Snow
    A black bird...
[06:19] Snow
    I've got to snipe the head of the household.
    I guess negotiations fell through.
[06:25] Snow
    That girl... She's about the same age as Wis.
[06:30] Snow
    The Blackbells have been
    on the defensive this entire time.
[06:33] Snow
    And they haven't killed
    anyone we sent after them.
[06:38] Snow
    It might be naïve, but she's
    treating this like honorable combat.
[06:43] Snow
    And in spite of that...
[06:45] Snow
    They want to assassinate her like cowards?
[06:49] Diana
    I have to say, Naberius, you made
    for quite a convincing big brother!
[06:54] Naberius
    Well, thanks.
[06:57] Diana
    Come to think of it, Wisteria,
[06:59] Diana
    you have an older brother too, don't you?
[07:02] Wisteria
    Yes!
[07:03] Diana
    What's he like?
[07:05] Wisteria
    My brother has a bit of a foul mouth,
[07:10] Wisteria
    but he's ever so kind.
[07:13] Wisteria
    And he always puts my welfare first.
[07:23] Diana
    A gunshot? Was it aimed at us?
[07:26] Naberius
    Bit sloppy if that's the case,
    considering it didn't even come close.
[07:30] Wisteria
    Maybe it missed... on purpose.
[07:33] Wisteria
    That's how it sounded, to me.
[07:37] Wisteria
    Like the shooter hesitated at the last second.
[07:43] Snow
    Can't exactly call anyone
    else naïve, now, can I?
[07:48] Snow
    Sorry, Commander. I missed.
[07:53] Takenami
    What happened to your face?
[07:55] Snow
    I screwed up and got slugged for it.
[07:59] Takenami
    You keep this up and
    it's going to get you killed.
[08:04] Takenami
    This thing where you show the enemy mercy.
[08:07] Takenami
    You probably missed on purpose, didn't you?
[08:10] Snow
    What the hell? You're acting
    like you saw it happen.
[08:12] Shura
    Let me fight the demon!
[08:15] Shura
    Get off!
[08:17] Takenami
    He lost his family because of a demon.
[08:20] Takenami
    It's easy to see how he ended up this way.
[08:23] Takenami
    Granted, most of the people
    here have that in common.
[08:28] Snow
    I've done some dirty jobs before,
[08:32] Snow
    but when we fight, we end up
    saving people's lives...
[08:37] Snow
    Maybe I should think of it that way.
[08:45] Marbas
    There's been movement at their garrison.
[08:48] Marbas
    It's likely they'll attack tonight.
[08:50] Naberius
    Yeah.
[08:51] Marbas
    That said, we'll be enjoying the show
    from a safe distance, of course.
[08:57] Naberius
    Suit your damn self, fool.
[09:01] Marbas
    Naberius... that girl intends to die
    in this battle, doesn't she?
[09:05] Naberius
    You can tell, eh?
[09:08] Naberius
    When a human is prepared to die,
    their soul smells fantastic.
[09:12] Marbas
    Don't be ridiculous.
[09:14] Marbas
    Even if the armored soldier dies,
    it won't restore her family's position.
[09:19] Marbas
    The fact that she insists
    on fighting in spite of that...
[09:22] Naberius
    For her, dying in a blaze of glory
[09:28] Naberius
    is the best way to honor everything
    her family has stood for, apparently.
[09:32] Naberius
    She's not brassy enough to
    go on living as the only survivor.
[09:37] Naberius
    Even let the staff go so they
    wouldn't be caught in the crossfire.
[09:42] Naberius
    She's a damned fool, is what she is.
[09:45] Naberius
    But... that's also what I like about her.
[09:51] Naberius
    Besides, life is boring enough.
[09:54] Naberius
    Fighting a losing battle
    is as good a way to pass time as any.
[09:59] Naberius
    You're basically doing the same thing, yeah?
[10:03] Naberius
    See ya.
[10:11] Naberius
    Look at that...
[10:15] Naberius
    They're coming straight at us.
[10:17] Diana
    Thank you for humoring me in this.
[10:21] Naberius
    Oh, stuff it.
[10:22] Naberius
    For the record, I aim to win.
    Ain't like I've gotten serious yet, anyway.
[10:27] Diana
    Well, that is reassuring.
[10:30] Diana
    I'm glad you're here with me.
[10:33] Diana
    With a life as long as yours,
    you'll probably forget me in no time at all.
[10:38] Diana
    And I'm glad I met Wisteria, too.
[10:41] Diana
    I'm sure she'll remember my fight.
[10:45] Diana
    I wish we could've spoken mo—
[10:48] Wisteria
    Lady Diana!
[10:51] Wisteria
    Lady Diana?
[10:54] Wisteria
    Lady Diana, where are you?!
[10:58] Wisteria
    Oh, thank goodness! I found you!
[11:01] Diana
    I don't believe it!
[11:04] Diana
    Why are you here?!
    I thought you left already!
[11:06] Diana
    This is my battle!
    It has nothing to do with you!
[11:10] Wisteria
    You may think that, but I don't!
[11:13] Wisteria
    I know at first, I thought
    that I shouldn't say anything.
[11:19] Wisteria
    But...
[11:20] Wisteria
    I can't just stand at a safe distance
    while my friend dies!
[11:25] Wisteria
    I won't do it, no matter what
    kind of danger it puts me in!
[11:29] Diana
    Why? We had similar circumstances...
    and enjoyed each other's company.
[11:35] Diana
    But that's it. That's all there is.
[11:39] Diana
    And yet...
[11:41] Diana
    I never asked you to do all this!
[11:44] Wisteria
    Diana...
[11:45] Naberius
    Well, damn.
[11:47] Naberius
    This is just gonna cause more trouble.
[11:49] Marbas
    Not necessarily.
[11:52] Naberius
    Marbas? What the hell are you doing?
[11:55] Marbas
    Wisteria was insistent about staying.
[11:59] Marbas
    She has a strong will, and sometimes
    does things I would never expect.
[12:04] Marbas
    I happen to enjoy that about her.
[12:08] Marbas
    Still, if she clings to the girl like that...
[12:12] Marbas
    That creates a need to protect
    the both of them, doesn't it?
[12:16] Naberius
    Wha...
[12:17] Naberius
    You... trying to bend the rules a bit, eh?
[12:21] Marbas
    Don't misunderstand.
    I haven't thrown my lot in with you.
[12:26] Marbas
    But that man in the armored mask irritates me.
[12:29] Marbas
    I can protect them. Fight as you will.
[12:33] Naberius
    Never thought you'd be
    setting the table for me.
[12:52] Naberius
    Got a lot of different armor suits, then?
[12:55] Wisteria
    Huh... I wonder what this feeling is?
[12:58] Wisteria
    It's even more unnerving than before.
[13:03] Commander
    It's only natural to choose the prey
    that suffers the most encumbrance.
[13:07] Marbas
    Well, if you're attacking me,
[13:11] Marbas
    I can hardly do nothing, can I?!
[13:14] Marbas
    All too easy.
[13:17] Marbas
    He vanished? But where to?
[13:19] Naberius
    Above you, stupid!
[13:24] Commander
    What a splendid display of brotherhood,
     despite your claims.
[13:30] Naberius
    Keep running that mouth of yours.
[13:35] Naberius
    Ain't you ever heard about how
    the enemy of my enemy is my friend?
[13:40] Marbas/Naberius
    Now fall!
[13:49] Commander
    I know about the old dog
     who can't learn new tricks.
[13:51] Commander
    I'm like you, in the sense that I won't die.
[13:54] Marbas
    Naberius!
[14:01] Commander
    I'm not enough of a fool to tackle two
    great demons without being sure I can win.
[14:12] Takenami
    There's the signal! Release the restraints!
[14:30] Astaroth
    Oh, this is bloody annoying.
[14:37] Astaroth
    Hey, armor man! You think you can
    just toss me in a cage?!
[14:42] Commander
    You're too unruly to behave otherwise.
[14:48] Astaroth
    You still huffy about me killing
    your people when we fought?
[14:54] Naberius
    I had heard that nasty bird got
    taken down by the Sword Cross...
[14:58] Astraoth
    Bloody hell! You're fighting
    the fleabag brothers?! That's a riot!
[15:02] Marbas
    You were counted among the Thirteen
    Calamities of the Wasteland, like us.
[15:08] Marbas
    Why do this?
[15:09] Astaroth
    I never counted myself among your lot!
[15:15] Astaroth
    Pretty much hated you, in fact!
[15:22] Marbas
    I can't do this while protecting—
[15:27] Naberius
    Hey, Marbas, shouldn't a cat
    be good at catching birds?
[15:31] Naberius
    Figure something out!
[15:32] Marbas
    Wha—
[15:34] Marbas
    I am not a cat!
[15:35] Marbas
    I'm a lion!
[15:45] Marbas
    You embarrassment! Why would
    you side with that armored human?
[15:49] Astaroth
    You two are the bleeding embarrassments!
[15:52] Astaroth
    Playing house with human brats?
[15:56] Astaroth
    Maybe I lost to that armor shitter
    and got tortured into making a pact with him,
[16:02] Astaroth
    but I'm still more of a demon than you two!
[16:04] Astaroth
    The two of you go around
    acting like you're humans!
[16:10] Astaroth
    What do you care about
    some inferior creatures
[16:13] Astaroth
    that'll be dead before you know it?!
[16:18] Diana
    I never said a word about only
    having a contract with Naberius.
[16:24] Diana
    The Blackbell family has forged pacts
    with many demons over the years.
[16:29] Diana
    Your attacks will never reach me!
[16:33] Diana
    But that was a one-time-only
    means of defense...
[16:37] Diana
    With the odds I'm facing, I could only
    get one other demon to forge a pact.
[16:42] Diana
    If they realize I can't do it
    a second time... I'm finished.
[16:47] Commander
    You are really proving
    to be quite a handful.
[16:52] Commander
    But... I doubt you're used to
    dealing with this approach.
[17:07] Diana
    It's burning...
[17:09] Diana
    Father's study. Mother's embroidery.
[17:13] Diana
    The garden where I played with my brothers.
[17:18] Diana
    It's all... turning to ash.
[17:23] Wisteria
    Snap out of it, Lady Diana!
[17:25] Wisteria
    I'm with you! And so is Marbas!
[17:27] Wisteria
    And more than anything,
    Naberius is still with you!
[17:30] Wisteria
    The memories you have
    of your family will never die!
[17:34] Wisteria
    As long as you remain standing,
    the Blackbells are not dead!
[17:42] Diana
    That's right, Wisteria.
[17:45] Diana
    Even though you can't see any
    of the things you remember anymore,
[17:50] Diana
    you've remained positive
    and live with strength.
[18:00] Commander
    She still stands strong.
[18:03] Commander
    I admit it, Lady Blackbell.
[18:06] Commander
    You have proven to be the proudest
    head of this household,
[18:09] Commander
    and worthy of being the last.
[18:11] Commander
    But as someone who employs a demon...
[18:15] Commander
    You could stand to learn more
    about human malice.
[18:22] Commander
    I am not particular
    about how I achieve victory.
[18:25] Commander
    Which is why, the moment you prioritized
    the ephemeral concept of honor...
[18:34] Commander
    was the moment you lost.
[18:41] Noah
    The Order of the Sword Cross will take action.
[18:44] Noah
    There's no avoiding
    the slaughter of our family.
[18:48] (Flashback) Noah
    We were unable to prevent
    the assassination of a cabinet minister.
[18:51] (Flashback) Noah
    Our rulers have forsaken us.
[18:54] (Flashback) Noah
    Still, it was our own incompetence
    that caused this state of affairs.
[18:58] (Flashback) Noah
    It shouldn't involve Diana.
[19:01] (Flashback) Noah
    This holds the method
    for summoning Naberius,
[19:04] (Flashback) Noah
    one of the Thirteen Calamities
    of the Wasteland.
[19:07] (Flashback) Noah
    This demon will serve as your guard, Diana.
[19:13] (Flashback) Lucas
    What's wrong? You haven't touched your food.
[19:17] (Flashback) Lucas
    The kitchen spared no effort for this meal.
[19:23] (Flashback) Noah
    I'm so sorry. We've proven
    to be foolish, worthless brothers.
[19:27] (Flashback) Noah
    But... that's why, in the very end,
    we want to die for your sake.
[19:32] (Flashback) Marius
    You're beautiful, clever, and sweet.
[19:36] (Flashback) Lucas
    If you give up the family name,
    you'll have no trouble making it through.
[19:41] (Flashback) Noah
    That's why, Diana...
[19:43] (Flashback) Noah
    We want you to be happy.
[19:53] Diana
    I... couldn't bear it.
[19:58] Diana
    Because... it felt like if I ever stopped...
[20:01] Diana
    The sorrow... would overtake me.
[20:06] Diana
    I thought if I held... my head high...
[20:10] Diana
    I could keep running... fast
    enough to outpace the sadness...
[20:15] Diana
    I had to believe... one day...
    it would all be worth it.
[20:21] Diana
    That's... no good, isn't it?
[20:25] Diana
    It was a false hope all along...
[20:29] Diana
    Thank you, Naberius.
[20:32] Diana
    For staying with me... to the very end.
[20:36] Diana
    If you can, please don't...
[20:40] Diana
    Don't forget about me and this house...
[20:45] Diana
    which I loved... so much...
[20:53] Wisteria
    Diana?
[20:55] Wisteria
    Diana!
[20:58] Wisteria
    No!
[21:02] Commander
    Your contractor is dead.
[21:05] Commander
    That should mean you, as a demon,
    no longer have a reason to fight.
[21:09] Commander
    I've accomplished my goal.
[21:11] Commander
    Why don't we both—
[21:14] Naberius
    Hell no. Not today.
[21:17] Naberius
    There's no way I can put up with this.
[21:22] Naberius
    I couldn't give a shit about you.
[21:25] Naberius
    But I'll never forgive myself!
[21:29] Marbas
    Don't do it, Naberius!
[21:30] Marbas
    Don't take it off!
    There's no coming back from that!
[21:34] Naberius
    I don't care, Marbas.
[21:35] Naberius
    I don't care what happens to me anymore.
[21:38] Naberius
    I just want to kill, and that's it!
[21:45] Astaroth
    Are you kidding me? He actually did it!
[21:49] Commander
    Remarkable...
[21:50] Marbas
    You stupid dog...
[21:52] Marbas
    Revealing your true form
    in a place like this?
[22:00] Marbas
    Now it's a confrontation with one of the
    Thirteen Calamities of the Wasteland...
[22:04] Marbas
    Naberius the Geological Calamity.
