**[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.
