**[00:03] Oscar**
The Witch of the Forbidden Forest?
**[00:05] Oscar**
Is that even possible?
***SIGN*** Not with magic.
***SIGN*** However, there's an artifact that makes it possible.
**[00:12] Oscar**
You mean one of the outsiders'
artifacts that Travis mentioned?
**[00:17] Oscar**
I see.
**[00:18] Oscar**
It seems you have memories
from before history was changed.
***SIGN*** The demon king told you all of that?
***SIGN*** The nerve of him...
**[00:27] Oscar**
Why are you after Eleterria?
***SIGN*** What other reason could there be?
***SIGN*** I want to change the past.
**[00:35] Oscar**
Then wouldn't one be enough?
***SIGN*** It would be meaningless without both of them.
***SIGN*** Shouldn't you go ahead and make your way to her instead?
**[00:45] Oscar**
She doesn't want my help.
***SIGN*** Do you really believe that after all you've been through?
***SIGN*** You may have exerted no effort to win her over this time around,
***SIGN*** but that's no excuse to be lazy.
***SIGN*** You always suffer a great deal each time to make her fall for you.
***SIGN*** It's not often she loves you from the beginning.
***SIGN*** So do take some initiative.
***SIGN*** Perhaps for you, other women could take her place.
***SIGN*** But for her, you're the only one she has.
**[01:15] Oscar**
What are you talking about?
**[01:17] Oscar**
How presumptuous of you,
like you've seen it all.
***SIGN*** That I have.
***SIGN*** There was once a time when I served under the two of you.
**[01:26] Oscar**
What?
***SIGN*** Please, do be on your way.
***SIGN*** Right now, Tuldarr... *she's* the one
who's taken on the task,
***SIGN*** but aren't you the one who should be confronting the witch?
**[01:39] Oscar**
You said she's not irreplaceable to me?
***SIGN*** It's the truth.
**[01:44] Oscar**
Who cares about the times
I have no memories of?
**[01:47] Oscar**
She's the only one for me.
**[01:50] Oscar**
And I'm about to prove it.
***SIGN*** Well, we'll see about that...
***SIGN*** ~ At Memory's End ~
***SIGN*** Tuldarr Army
***SIGN*** Magdalsia Army
**[02:15] Renart**
There they are!
**[02:16] Renart**
Magdalsian troops!
**[02:18] Tinasha**
Soldiers of Tuldarr.
**[02:19] Tinasha**
You have nothing to fear.
**[02:22] Tinasha**
I promise we will reign victorious.
**[02:25] Tinasha**
No matter who stands in our way,
they will never intrude upon our nation.
**[02:37] Tuldarr Soldier**
Charge!
**[02:38] Renart**
Onward!
**[02:43] Lucia**
You think the mere queen of Tuldarr
stands any chance against a witch?
**[02:47] Lucia**
I'll beat that arrogance out of you.
**[02:50] Tinasha**
Who's the arrogant one here?
**[02:52] Tinasha**
If it's me you're after,
pay the price with your life.
**[02:57] Tinasha**
Would you happen to know where Senn's gone?
**[03:00] Lucia**
Senn?
**[03:01] Tinasha**
My spirit.
**[03:03] Tinasha**
Aren't you the Witch of the Forbidden Forest?
**[03:09] Lucia**
That's right.
**[03:10] Lucia**
I am that very witch.
**[03:12] Tinasha**
Senn knew all about you.
**[03:15] Tinasha**
Isn't that why you captured him?
So he wouldn't reveal your identity to me?
**[03:20] Tinasha**
Where is he now?
**[03:22] Lucia**
Why, I couldn't say.
**[03:25] Tinasha**
Then we have nothing more to discuss.
**[03:27] Tinasha**
This is where you die.
**[03:29] Oscar**
*Tinasha.*
**[03:32] Tinasha**
*What are you doing here, Oscar?!*
**[03:34] Oscar**
Just listen for now.
**[03:36] Oscar**
*It's not the witch residing in that body.*
**[03:38] Oscar**
*Inside is the mind of Magdalsia's king.*
**[03:40] Tinasha**
What?
**[03:41] Oscar**
* The real witch's soul is trapped*
* inside the Mirror of Oblivion.*
**[03:45] Oscar**
*Same goes for that spirit of yours.*
**[03:47] Oscar**
* The Mirror of Oblivion is apparently*
* an outsiders' artifact*
**[03:50] Oscar**
* that traps people's minds*
* and memories to record them.*
**[03:53] Tinasha**
And who told you this?
**[03:55] Oscar**
Valt.
**[03:56] Tinasha**
*What?!*
**[03:58] Oscar**
*You're right to be skeptical.*
**[03:59] Oscar**
* But I want you to head to*
* Magdalsia and destroy the mirror.*
**[04:04] Oscar**
*That should turn the witch back to normal.*
**[04:06] Oscar**
* If you can't find the mirror,*
* you can simply teleport back here.*
**[04:10] Oscar**
*I'll take care of the one up there.*
**[04:12] Tinasha**
What?
**[04:13] Tinasha**
This is Tuldarr's war to fight.
**[04:16] Tinasha**
It's unthinkable to have
a bystander like you take part!
**[04:18] Tinasha**
I appreciate the information,
but please head back to Farsas.
**[04:21] Oscar**
*No, thanks.*
**[04:24] Tinasha**
I'm going to get mad.
**[04:25] Tinasha**
*I am not your wife.*
**[04:28] Tinasha**
*I am queen of Tuldarr.*
**[04:30] Tinasha**
*I cannot allow you to intervene.*
**[04:32] Oscar**
The battle's mostly over already.
**[04:35] Oscar**
All that's left is you against the witch
and the cleanup.
**[04:38] Oscar**
I'm saying I can finish this
in a way that'll satisfy you.
**[04:41] Tinasha**
My satisfaction shouldn't come
at the cost of breaking the status quo.
**[04:46] Tinasha**
A ruler is but a cog to ensure
that a country runs smoothly.
**[04:50] Tinasha**
I mustn't let my own emotions
get in the way of that.
**[04:53] Young Tinasha**
*That's right. You mustn't.*
**[04:56] Young Tinasha**
There's no one who can act in your place.
**[05:00] Young Tinasha**
Four hundred years ago, you made it all alone.
**[05:04] Young Tinasha**
There's nothing anyone else can share with you.
**[05:07] Tinasha**
Hesitation breeds weakness.
**[05:10] Tinasha**
So I mustn't falter, now of all times.
**[05:14] Tinasha**
I can even forget... that which I hold dear.
**[05:18] Oscar**
I understand your side as well.
**[05:20] Oscar**
But things have changed since back then.
**[05:24] Oscar**
Don't bear all the burden alone.
**[05:26] Oscar**
Rely on me so you don't regret it later.
**[05:31] Oscar**
If you do, I'll share your burden
for the rest of my life.
**[05:34] Oscar**
Believe in me.
**[05:38] Tinasha**
I can't do that.
**[05:40] Tinasha**
Let's say you hold the fort here,
and I break the mirror.
**[05:45] Tinasha**
What will you do if the real witch tries to
kill you after returning to her own body?!
**[05:49] Oscar**
If that happens, I'll kill the witch.
**[05:51] Oscar**
That's what this sword is for.
**[05:59] Tinasha**
*I command all spirits who can hear me.*
**[06:02] Tinasha**
*I have two commands for you.*
**[06:05] Tinasha**
*The first is don't be killed.*
**[06:07] Tinasha**
* The second is to temporarily recognize*
* the wielder of Akashia as your master*
**[06:12] Tinasha**
*and lend him your support.*
**[06:15] Oscar**
Crybaby.
**[06:18] Tinasha**
Quiet, you.
**[06:21] Lucia**
The king of Farsas...
**[06:23] Lucia**
The one who wields Akashia!
**[06:28] Tinasha**
Don't disappoint me and die here.
**[06:30] Oscar**
We haven't even gotten married yet.
**[06:32] Oscar**
I couldn't die with regrets like that.
**[06:35] Tinasha**
He'll be here to keep you busy.
**[06:38] Tinasha**
I'll be seeing you later.
**[06:40] Lucia**
How dare you.
**[06:45] Lucia**
It's no fun tormenting a man.
**[06:48] Oscar**
Don't talk big with those borrowed powers.
**[06:50] Oscar**
I already know you're nothing but an impostor.
**[06:56] Lucia**
You little whelp...
**[06:58] Lucia**
We'll see how true that is once
I've torn you to shreds.
**[07:09] Tinasha**
Without a care in the world.
**[07:13] Tinasha**
There it is.
**[07:18] Tinasha**
Senn, can you hear me?
**[07:22] Senn**
*My queen!*
**[07:23] Tinasha**
That's him!
**[07:39] Senn**
My queen! You're here!
**[07:41] Tinasha**
Senn!
**[07:43] Tinasha**
What a relief...
**[07:46] Tinasha**
Um, is that the witch?
**[07:49] Senn**
Yes, that's the Witch of the Forbidden Forest.
**[07:55] Tinasha**
You must really care for her.
**[07:59] Senn**
Well...
**[08:00] Senn**
You could say she's a handful.
**[08:04] Lucrezia**
Oh?
**[08:06] Lucrezia**
What are you doing here?
**[08:08] Tinasha**
I came looking for Senn.
**[08:11] Lucrezia**
That would mean you're Tuldarr's queen.
**[08:14] Lucrezia**
Your astonishing magic levels
made me think you were a new witch.
**[08:20] Lucrezia**
So? What is it you want?
**[08:23] Tinasha**
I was hoping to break this mirror.
**[08:26] Tinasha**
Are you the Witch of the Forbidden Forest?
**[08:29] Lucrezia**
I am.
**[08:30] Lucrezia**
You can call me Lucrezia.
**[08:32] Lucrezia**
Oh, right, you wouldn't use my name anyway.
**[08:36] Tinasha**
I will.
**[08:40] Tinasha**
This pillar has created
a conceptual tear in the mirror.
**[08:45] Tinasha**
So punching another hole from
the outside might be able to break it.
**[08:50] Lucrezia**
Hm?
**[08:51] Lucrezia**
Well, if it can be broken,
then please go ahead.
**[09:01] Tinasha**
What must be defined is power.
**[09:03] Tinasha**
The ocean of life.
**[09:04] Tinasha**
Wills meld together in the past.
**[09:07] Tinasha**
A spiral geyser piercing
the earth from the skies.
**[09:11] Tinasha**
Six doors locked shut.
**[09:13] Tinasha**
Voices of premonition.
**[09:15] Tinasha**
I command the end of twilight.
**[09:20] Tinasha**
*I can't let him down...*
**[09:23] Tinasha**
*I can't fail here...*
**[09:25] Tinasha**
*I will overcome this!*
**[09:29] Tinasha**
*I believe!*
**[09:31] Lucrezia**
Huh, she's pretty good.
**[09:34] Senn**
Yeah.
**[09:48] Lucia**
You'd be a powerless brat without that sword.
**[09:51] Lucia**
Do you not fear this witch?!
**[09:53] Oscar**
I'd rather not hear that from you.
**[09:55] Oscar**
Also, witches are a lot scarier.
**[09:58] Oscar**
I'm left wanting with you in her body.
**[10:01] Lucia**
Come again?
**[10:06] Lucia**
Wait...
**[10:08] Lucia**
It can't be...
**[10:11] Lucia**
No...
**[10:13] Lucia**
No...
**[10:13] Lucia**
No!
**[10:35] Lucrezia**
It's been so long since I've had fresh air.
**[10:43] Lucrezia**
Good evening.
**[10:45] Lucrezia**
Are you Lucrezia?
**[10:47] Lucrezia**
Indeed I am.
**[10:48] Lucrezia**
Wait, don't tell me you're
the Akashia swordsman?
**[10:52] Lucrezia**
You have an awful lot of magic if so.
**[10:55] Lucrezia**
You're no mage, are you?
**[10:57] Oscar**
I am the Akashia swordsman.
**[10:59] Oscar**
I have magic as Lavinia's grandson.
**[11:02] Lucrezia**
Lavinia did what?!
**[11:04] Lucrezia**
With the Farsas royal bloodline?!
**[11:05] Lucrezia**
I can hardly believe it!
**[11:08] Oscar**
Where's Tinasha?
**[11:09] Lucrezia**
She's still with Senn.
**[11:10] Lucrezia**
I imagine she'll come back before long.
**[11:13] Oscar**
I see.
**[11:15] Lucrezia**
What's your relationship with her?
**[11:17] Oscar**
I'm her fiancé.
**[11:19] Lucrezia**
No kidding?
**[11:20] Lucrezia**
Hmm...
**[11:21] Lucrezia**
You two sure are fascinating.
**[11:24] Lucrezia**
With your considerable magic,
if you were to marry her...
**[11:28] Lucrezia**
You could change the world as we know it.
**[11:31] Oscar**
Not that we plan on doing so.
**[11:33] Oscar**
Aren't you witches the same,
always staying out of the public eye?
**[11:37] Lucrezia**
Nothing fun comes from public attention.
**[11:42] Lucrezia**
I must be going now,
to attend to some business.
**[11:45] Lucrezia**
We'll meet again, if fate so dictates.
**[11:51] Oscar**
The story is that Hubert was killed in combat.
**[11:54] Oscar**
So is Lucrezia the one who killed him?
**[11:57] Tinasha**
Well, I can't blame her.
**[11:59] Tinasha**
It seems that sixty years ago,
**[12:02] Tinasha**
Lucrezia entered the Mirror of Oblivion
of her own will to try and destroy it.
**[12:06] Tinasha**
Unable to do so, she put up
a barrier in a nearby cave,
**[12:10] Tinasha**
sealing away both the mirror and herself.
**[12:14] Tinasha**
When you put that together with what you heard,
**[12:16] Tinasha**
that'd mean Valt broke that barrier
and gave Hubert the mirror.
**[12:20] Oscar**
Why was Senn inside?
**[12:23] Tinasha**
When the barrier was broken,
her magic leaked out into the air.
**[12:26] Tinasha**
That aroused his suspicions, and he was
sealed away when he went to check it out.
**[12:31] Oscar**
I see now.
**[12:32] Oscar**
Well, looks like it all
turned out well for you.
**[12:36] Oscar**
You hesitated to kill her because
that spirit was friendly with her.
**[12:41] Oscar**
By neutralizing Magdalsia's
troops without harming them,
**[12:45] Oscar**
your strange powers terrorized many.
**[12:47] Oscar**
As a result, the magic empire of Tuldarr
has spread as a name to be feared.
**[12:53] Oscar**
Isn't that exactly what you wanted?
**[12:58] Tinasha**
I'm feeling a little bit tired now.
**[13:01] Oscar**
Stop acting all on your own already.
**[13:03] Oscar**
You really need to have
a little more trust in me.
**[13:06] Tinasha**
I didn't want to cause you any trouble.
**[13:09] Oscar**
If you come off as a danger,
it'll be harder to get married.
**[13:13] Tinasha**
Couldn't you just use your powers as
the owner of Akashia to abduct me?
**[13:18] Tinasha**
Lock me up in the castle,
and it'd be the same as if we got married.
**[13:22] Oscar**
You need to rethink some things
if you consider that the same.
**[13:27] Tinasha**
Imprisoning royalty was pretty
common back in the Dark Age.
**[13:30] Oscar**
How can I make it clear
that times have changed?
**[13:34] Oscar**
Go back and learn the basics.
**[13:35] Tinasha**
You're calling off our engagement?
**[13:37] Oscar**
No!
**[13:40] Tinasha**
Still, I have to wonder
what Valt is playing at.
**[13:44] Tinasha**
Did he mention anything else
that piqued your interest?
**[13:49] Oscar**
Not at all.
**[13:52] Tinasha**
Then forget I asked.
**[13:58] Oscar**
Just so you know, you're the only woman for me.
**[14:01] Tinasha**
Where'd that come from?
**[14:02] Tinasha**
I know that.
**[14:04] Tinasha**
Oh, if something's worrying you,
we can start over and go back to basics.
**[14:08] Oscar**
Seriously, stop.
**[14:11] Oscar**
I'm...
**[14:13] Oscar**
the one who made you come to this era.
**[14:20] Oscar**
I'll definitely make you happy.
**[14:26] Tinasha**
I'm plenty happy already.
**[14:32] Tinasha**
You made sure to keep the promise
you made when I was a child.
**[14:41] Oscar**
Things are about to get busy again.
**[14:45] Oscar**
Your abdication, then Legis's
coronation, and two days after that...
**[14:50] Tinasha**
Our wedding ceremony.
**[14:56] Oscar**
It'd be nice to be free
of setbacks from now on.
**[15:02] Legis**
I, Legis Dys Kacoratis Gul Tuldarr,
**[15:06] Legis**
hereby ascend the throne
as the forty-fourth king of Tuldarr.
**[15:15] Legis**
Tuldarr was founded in the Dark Age
to protect the rights and lives of mages,
**[15:21] Legis**
and mutual support among mages...
***SIGN*** Oh, so you really did come.
**[15:33] Tinasha**
Valt.
***SIGN*** It happened long ago.
***SIGN*** There once stood here an azure tower.
***SIGN*** For those who overcame the trials of the tower and made it to the very top,
***SIGN*** it was said that the witch who lived there would grant a wish.
***SIGN*** Though that tower no longer exists, be it in the past or future.
**[15:56] Tinasha**
Are you saying I was that witch?
***SIGN*** Yes.
***SIGN*** The fifth witch, said to be the strongest: the Witch of the Azure Moon.
***SIGN*** She was even stronger and crueler than you are now.
***SIGN*** Does that surprise you?
**[16:10] Tinasha**
A little.
**[16:11] Tinasha**
Although I figured that might be the case.
***SIGN*** When I learned you had failed to become a witch for the very first time,
***SIGN*** and had fallen into a magic slumber...
***SIGN*** I was overjoyed.
***SIGN*** Come.
***SIGN*** It's about time we bring this to an end.
***SIGN*** Let us go and retrieve the other half of Eleterria.
**[16:32] Tinasha**
I won't be doing any such thing.
**[16:34] Tinasha**
Please return that at once.
***SIGN*** You will.
***SIGN*** You'll be raring to go.
**[16:40] Tinasha**
What are you...
**[16:44] Tinasha**
You can't be serious!
***SIGN*** What I'm taking as hostage is this very nation.
***SIGN*** Once this magic circle activates, it will bring forth an inferno.
***SIGN*** And as it consumes all the lives within its reach,
***SIGN*** those lives will act as a catalyst to summon magical power, annihilating this nation.
***SIGN*** Fail to cooperate, and Tuldarr will be no more.
**[17:10] Tinasha**
Where did you learn to create this spell?
**[17:13] Tinasha**
Among the many forbidden curses to summon
magical power with souls as the catalyst,
**[17:17] Tinasha**
this one...
**[17:19] Tinasha**
it's the same curse used four hundred
years ago, unrecorded in history.
***SIGN*** Our kind transcribes knowledge and passes it down.
***SIGN*** Go back far enough, and the man you considered a brother was one of them.
***SIGN*** That's all there is to it.
**[17:33] Tinasha**
What a sick joke.
**[17:35] Tinasha**
Are you saying you and your ilk have
lurked in the shadows of all history?
***SIGN*** Oh, no.
***SIGN*** Our family of Time-Readers is not as influential as you'd believe.
***SIGN*** Every generation has but one family head.
***SIGN*** Until the previous head dies, the powers of the successor do not awaken.
***SIGN*** As for the other heads, past and future, the only knowledge I have is all of their names.
***SIGN*** Just so you understand, I wasn't the one who cast this spell.
***SIGN*** If you kill me, the caster will activate the spell.
***SIGN*** You will by no means leave Tuldarr to die,
***SIGN*** which is precisely why I chose Tuldarr as my target.
***SIGN*** But that's not my only reason.
***SIGN*** This country is one that should never have existed.
**[18:26] Tinasha**
What?
***SIGN*** You see, Tuldarr was destroyed the moment your stomach was torn open.
**[18:33] Tinasha**
No way...
**[18:35] Tinasha**
You're wrong.
**[18:36] Tinasha**
I mean, didn't I manage to suppress
the magical power back then?
***SIGN*** Yes.
***SIGN*** However, the magical power summoned by sacrificing Lanak
***SIGN*** and that summoned by sacrificing you were orders of magnitude apart.
***SIGN*** You were unable to fully contain all that magic,
***SIGN*** and what was leftover destroyed Tuldarr, before spraying across the mainland.
***SIGN*** The true form of this age,
***SIGN*** for most of Tuldarr territory, was a wasteland ravaged by that forbidden curse.
**[19:06] Tinasha**
You're lying...
**[19:10] Tinasha**
That can't be...
***SIGN*** The world mends itself to minimize the effects of the changes from Eleterria.
***SIGN*** But the consequences of changing the fate of an entire country were great indeed.
***SIGN*** I feel no guilt in taking Tuldarr as my hostage,
***SIGN*** since it never should have existed at all.
***SIGN*** What about you, though?
***SIGN*** Because Tuldarr survived, a great number of Cezar citizens were made to suffer instead.
***SIGN*** Do you feel no remorse at all?
***SIGN*** If Tuldarr had been destroyed as it should have been,
***SIGN*** Cezar would not be like this now.
**[19:50] Tinasha**
You mean to say that their fate was the price
we paid for Tuldarr's prosperity?
**[19:55] Tinasha**
And that at the root of it all is Oscar...
**[19:58] Tinasha**
and me?
**[20:05] Tinasha**
Even if what you say is true,
**[20:07] Tinasha**
I won't let you claim that you are free of sin.
**[20:11] Tinasha**
The one who summoned the evil god in Cezar,
**[20:13] Tinasha**
as well as the one who aims
to destroy Tuldarr now,
**[20:16] Tinasha**
is none other than you.
***SIGN*** That's true.
***SIGN*** We are both sinners.
***SIGN*** Both of us perpetually betraying this world.
***SIGN*** *The choice to keep one
means abandoning another.*
**[20:32] Tinasha**
*We are all made to choose without end.*
**[20:35] Tinasha**
*Challenged to do so without end.*
***SIGN*** *And if what results...*
**[20:41] Tinasha**
*Is our current reality...*
**[20:44] Tinasha**
I will protect my nation.
**[20:47] Tinasha**
There is no doubt that Tuldarr exists now.
**[20:50] Tinasha**
Even if it came about by altering history,
**[20:53] Tinasha**
I will not choose to abandon
the country before my eyes.
***SIGN*** I thought that might be your decision.
***SIGN*** If you wish to save your country, you will listen to my demands.
***SIGN*** Will I find Eleterria in Tuldarr's treasury?
**[21:07] Tinasha**
What do you plan to do
after obtaining them both?
**[21:10] Tinasha**
One should be enough
if you want to change the past.
***SIGN*** I'm well aware.
***SIGN*** But what I'm after is to change the future.
**[21:18] Tinasha**
Traveling to the future?
***SIGN*** You are the most powerful mage in history.
***SIGN*** Not long ago, you destroyed an outsiders' artifact, the Mirror of Oblivion.
***SIGN*** But since you're no longer a witch, you are inferior to your original self.
***SIGN*** As such, I took it upon myself to test your powers.
***SIGN*** As luck would have it, you chose to absorb Simila's incarnation.
***SIGN*** The destruction of Eleterria.
***SIGN*** That's what I'm after.
**[21:53] Tinasha**
All of your actions up until now...
**[21:59] Tinasha**
They were all for this moment?
