Transcripts - Forever Dreaming

Do you like Anos?

I do.

Oh, really?
What do you see in him?

He's kind.

What are you talking about? I could've
sworn he was a devil during the exams.

Sasha, do you like Anos?

Huh? Of course I don't!
Never in a million years!

But Anos can look straight into my eyes.

Really, he must be crazy.
My eyes, beautiful?

They're cursed Demonic Eyes that try to
destroy anything in my sight on their own.

And also, I've never met anyone
with the same eyes as me before.

You were just like Anos, too, remember?

Just like him?

You always looked straight into my eyes.

When no one else would
ever come into my view,

you alone stayed by my side.

You took my hand and smiled at me.

Yeah.

Thanks to you,
I stopped hurting others accidentally.

You really hung in there, Sasha.

Misha, I'm only going to say this once.

I'm sorry.

Will you forgive me?

I'm not mad.

Really?

SASHA'S TRUE INTENTIONS

Can I ask you something?

What is it?

What should I give as a birthday gift?

Whose birthday?

Sasha's. Tomorrow.

Wouldn't she be thrilled
with anything you decided on?

Clothes would be good.

Morning.

That's not your seat, is it?

Well, it's not taken anyway,

and don't you think it'd be easier
for us to sit together as a team?

Oh, before I forget, my former teammates
want to join your team, too.

Oh, that. I've already turned them down.

Huh? Why would you do that?

Just the three of us
should make for a sufficient force.

But depending on the test,
we'd need more than five people,

and you can't even take part in the
class competition without seven or more!

There are rules about that?

This is going to be a long semester.

Class, as you know,

the Demon King of Tyranny
is widely expected to awaken this year.

Today, one of the Seven Elder Demon Emperors will
be giving you a special lecture on Great Magic.

"Seven Elder Demon Emperors"?

What, you've never even heard of them?

No wonder you're a misfit.

Two thousand years ago,

the founding ancestor used his own blood
to create seven subordinates.

The first Demon clan to be descended
from the founding ancestor.

I remember that part.

And we call those seven subordinates
the "Seven Elder Demon Emperors."

The Demon King Academy was created

by the Seven Elder Demon Emperors
to develop future Demon Lords.

In other words, they're the deans.

That's odd. Even for an academy
run by demons born in the Mythical Age,

their stewardship is too sloppy.

If nothing else,
they should know about me.

Anos Voldigoad...

Please remember to mind your manners.

Right.

I guess I can watch myself.

This is Lord Ivis Necron
of the Seven Elder Demon Emperors.

Hey, Ivis!

Long time no see.

M-My apologies, Lord Ivis!

Anos Voldigoad will be expelled
immediately, sir!

No need.

You just said,
"Long time no see," did you not?

It's been two thousand years.
You don't remember me?

Unfortunately, I've lost my memories
from two thousand years ago.

All I remember is my master...

the Demon King of Tyranny.

If that's the case,
then you should remember me.

Are you related
to the founding ancestor, then?

I see.

If you've forgotten...

I'll make you remember!

H-Hey!

What are you doing, Anos Voldigoad?

I see.

Who on earth are you?

Let's pick this up again later.

Start the lecture, will you?

He's getting off scot-free?

Look, you...

Today's lecture will be on the Necron
Family's secret technique, "Fusion Magic."

Fusion Magic's advantage lies
in the fusion of multiple spells.

By fusing different types of Magic Power
with varying wavelengths,

one can increase the original level
of Magic Power more than tenfold.

This is beginner-level Fusion Magic,
"Jie Gum."

Hey...

When you fuse Ice Magic Shade

Shouldn't you be taking notes
or saving this to a memory crystal?

with the fire magic, Gresde,
through Jie Gum, there is no offset.

I do have it committed to memory.

How about you?
I don't see you taking any notes.

Well,
it's a Necron Family secret technique.

I'm a direct descendant,
and I mastered it long ago.

If you're a direct descendant,
does that mean you're close to Ivis?

Are you kidding?

The Seven Elder Demon
Emperors are like gods.

I've only ever spoken to him once.

Is that right?

Earlier, I did indeed go back in time
two thousand years. What was that?

Origin Magic, Rivide.

I rewound time locally

and extracted the memories
you'd lost from two thousand years ago.

But...

The Demon King of Tyranny...
My master... Avos Dilhevia.

It seems like the past itself
has been tampered with.

Are you telling me that you yourself
are my master, the Demon King of Tyranny?

Yes. The Demon King of Tyranny's
name is Anos Voldigoad.

But it was rewritten as Avos Dilhevia
two thousand years ago by someone.

And who is this someone?

That I still don't know, but it must be
the one who erased your memories.

If it's true that my memories were erased,
then that seems logical.

Still, Anos, are you sure
it wasn't you yourself who erased them?

I can't make light of your words
as you possess powers that defy time,

but neither can I dismiss the possibility that
you're hostile to the Demon King of Tyranny.

Sound reasoning. If I were in your shoes,
I could understand that line of thinking.

For now, I will remain neutral.

Something about you brings back memories.

It would be helpful if you could do that.

Is he being serious
or is he playing dumb?

Avos Dilhevia...

Perhaps he does exist after all.

Someone who's passing himself off as me.

Anos...

Someone on your team dropped this.

Please give it to her.

Which one?

The one who's not Sasha.

Now that's an odd way of putting it.

Never mind. I'll give it to her.

Misha...

You dropped this.

Thanks.

That's the letter you dropped
on the day of the entrance exams, right?

It's from the person who raised me.

Aren't you going to read it?

It's my good luck charm.

Sorry, but there's nothing I can do.

But Lady Sasha, that misfit
won't even give us the time of day!

And are you sure you're okay with being
stuck on that misfit's team, Lady Sasha?

And besides...

We're done here.

Come on! Let's get going.

For the Dungeon exam,
you'll take on the Demon Palace Delsgade.

Each team will compete for points by collecting
magical tools, weapons, armor and the like.

Ownership of the acquired items
goes to each team leader.

Now then, please begin!

Hey, Anos! We're going to be left behind!

If we can get our hands on the scepter
on the altar on the lowest level,

they'll give us a perfect score, right?

No need to panic.

That's true, but we can't possibly do that.

None of the teachers
have even been to the lowest level.

And the thing about there being a scepter
down there is just folklore.

This scepter is supposed to be a staff
that enhances Gyze, am I right?

Yes. It's said to be the Demon King's
staff, created by the founding ancestor.

Then, it's down there.

There you go again, making things up.

How do you know that?

This is my castle.

They said that there'd be
monsters at large in this exam,

but they've been dealt with
by the students who went in first.

Are you sure we should be moving along
at this leisurely pace?

About her birthday...

There are some choice items
in the treasure room on the lowest level.

If any remain, they're yours.

Really?

Yes.

I'll be glad to pick something out for you,
as well.

When's your birthday?

Tomorrow.

You're twins?

How old will you be?

Fifteen.

I don't want anything.

No need to be shy.

Tomorrow is...

Hey!

Come on, you two!

Oh, come on! This is a dead end!

Right.

It's a secret passageway.

I'm looking with my Demonic Eyes,
and I don't see anything.

It's because I have
countermeasures in place.

There, secret passageway.

Hurry up.

That's a secret passageway?

Sturdy.

Who knew a place like this existed?

The lowest level is back there.

Is this...

sunlight?

It's designed to take in
both sunlight and moonlight from outside.

This room is a catalyst for magic,
isn't it?

So you can activate natural magic circles?

Good for you for catching that.

But it seems a little different
than it was two thousand years ago.

Is something wrong?

No, let's go.

This is the door to the altar.

It's got anti-magic protection.


Even a Jio Graze level spell
wouldn't destroy it.

So, how are we supposed to get inside?

Use your heads.

Your thought is to destroy it.
That's why you're hitting a wall.

If magic won't work on it...

...then just use something
other than magic to open it.

Right, like brute strength.

Is that...

the scepter?

Our perfect score is in the bag now.

Is it okay if I touch it?

Yes.

Misha...

Go ahead and pick out something
that will suit Sasha.

I like that.

The Phoenix Robe, huh?

That's an item which grants its wearer
the benefit of immortal flames.

Give it to her, then.

A ring?

That's the "Lily-pad ice ring."

The chill it gives off
is said to fill the Seven Seas with ice.

Looks like this ring is calling out to you.

Do you want it?

That's okay.

Hey! Where were you two anyway?

Sorry about that.

Did you miss us?

I was worried, okay?

Aren't you going to...

Sasha, this is for you.

Because it's your birthday.

B-But I-I didn't get you anything.

I don't want anything.

Thanks, Misha!

I'm so thrilled!

I'm going to treasure it
as long as I live, okay?

Can I try it on?

A lady is about to get changed, you know!

Seriously, you're such a handful.

I made her happy, thanks to you.

You were the one who picked it out.

Thanks.

Why are you smiling?

Because I'm happy.

This is the happiest day of my life.

Is it?

Well, I'm really glad to hear that.

What?

You came out of there already?

What have you done, Sasha?

Men are such simpletons.

Just a little kiss,
and just like that, they're duped.

What else could this be but a performance to
ensure that I take first place in the Dungeon exam?

Did you really think that I ever wanted
to be friends with this junk doll?

Birthday present? Really...

That makes me gag!

What's this?

You're still alive? Pesky, aren't you?

You're quite an actress,
aren't you, Sasha?

But your method of betrayal
is just too tame.

If you were really going to do it, you'd k*ll
Misha, dice her up, seal each piece in a boulder,

scatter them all over the world,
and even that would barely be entry-level.

All you did was playfully stroke her chest
with that knife, so what's with the swagger?

I'm not buying it.

And even if you did
take that back with you,

as team leader, I'm the one
who has ownership rights.

I'm revoking our Zecht!

Which shouldn't be possible,
but how interesting.

Shouldn't you be in more of a panic?

That girl will die
if you don't do something about it.

Ah...

Now, that just sounds like you're
telling me you don't want her to die.

Just what are you talking about?

Listen! That thing over there
was only born to be used by me.

Destined to be used up
and then discarded like a tattered rag.

What a sad, pathetic magic doll she is.

Hey, you're still alive?

Since this will be the last time,
I'm going to tell you something. See...

the way you act all nice, trusting me no
matter how many times you've been duped...

It's always made my skin crawl,
I've hated it so much!

You have such honest eyes.

Sasha...

I hope you don't think
you're getting away with this.

Rent!

Conditioning Magic, huh?

So, if I lay so much as a finger on you, that
knife will pierce her even deeper, right?

Don't you care what will become of her?

It would take even you
at least ten seconds

to smash through this magical barrier
and heal Misha's wound, right?

That'd give me enough time to get away.

Wha...

But I know I activated Rent!
Why is her wound...

I healed Misha the moment
I saw her lying there.

What you were seeing
was an illusion of my making.

The Demon Eyes of Destruction activate
when your emotions run high, right?

If you'd been overcome with joy,

then it would've happened
right after she mentioned your birthday.

But actually, they only lit up
when you received that robe.

Most likely, that was when you made up
your mind to s*ab Misha here.

Also, you couldn't have been more scathing
toward Misha just now,

yet not once did your
Demonic Eyes activate.

Meaning you were coolheaded.

You were all too coolheaded,
putting on a performance.

Now then, why don't you tell me
how you really feel?

M-My body...

Wait.

Let her go.

Well, I'm fine with letting her go.

But I do think it'd be better
to have her tell us everything.

No?

Sasha!

Stay away from me!

Misha...

You really are such a dummy!

I hope you'll regret this
in your last moments!

Misha, I have questions for you, too.

Would you mind
telling me about yourself?

You want to know?

You don't want to say?

I didn't want to say.

But...

you're my friend, Anos.

And you're also kind.

Seven hours and sixteen seconds left.

I'll make it in time no matter what!

At midnight on my fifteenth birthday,
I'm going to disappear.

Does that have anything to do
with her calling you a magic doll?

"Magic doll" isn't the right term.

Misha Necron...

never existed in this world
in the first place.
