02x06 - Infiltration

[bunniefuu]

It appeared as if humanity will soon
be destroyed by the demons.

But there was a mage who fought alone
and saved everyone.

He was called the Magic Emperor
and became a legend.

In order to heal Asta's arms,

which refused to heal
after his battle with Vetto,

Noelle and Finral made a visit

to certain exiles.

I'm sorry to bother you!

I just got out of the bath--

Dratted husband,

drop your bad habit
of going naked all the time!

They are Fanzell Kruger,

a former commander
of the Diamond Kingdom army,

his fiancée, Dominante Code,
a highly-skilled magic toolmaker,

and Mariella, a former assassin.

Even if it's just a rumor,

is there any way to heal Asta's arm?

An ancient Curse Magic?

There's one possibility.

My homeland, Witches' Forest.

Witches' Forest?

If it's that Queen's magic…

Meanwhile, at the Witches' Forest…

Hey!

The most gifted witch in the history
of the kingdom of witches has returned!

There's something I need to do.
Open the door quickly!

Domina, what is this Witches' Forest?

It is located east of the Clover Kingdom,

near the border
shared with the Diamond Kingdom.

It's an autonomous region
that belongs to neither kingdom.

All the inhabitants are women

and they're essentially witches
who are skilled in special types of magic

like Curse Magic and Spirit Magic.

All women?

It's a dreamland!

Don't forget that they're witches.

Men who had gotten too close were turned

into stink bugs or toilet scrubbers.

-What?
-Wait!

Speaking of witches…

Right!

Vanessa suddenly disappeared.

She must've gone
to ask their Queen to heal Asta.

According to the rules,

witches must live in the Witches' Forest.

This means that
witches like myself and Vanessa

who have left our home are fugitives.

Fugitives?

She must've been quite determined
to even think of returning.

However…

I couldn't help falling in love with Zell.

That's right.

We both fell
into the bottomless mire called love.

My sweet Zell.

My sweet Domina.

I see.

-Darling!
-I really envy their love!

I left my life for you!

How long are you going to make me live
in this dump, dratted husband?

That hurts!

She's attacking vital points
without holding back.

Even an assassin must concede defeat.

I see.

I don't envy him at all.

Why don't we get back to the topic?

-That would be great.
-Yes.

If Vanessa returned
to the Witches' Forest,

then I'm quite worried.

I don't know all the details,

but Vanessa was
very important to the Queen.

If the rumors are true,

then once she returns,

she'll never be able
to leave the forest again.

Frankly, the Queen is the strongest.

Not even the tyrannical Diamond Kingdom
dares to provoke her.

Moreover, she isn't amenable to reason.

If you're thinking of going
to the Witches' Forest,

I have to warn you.

If you infuriate the Queen,

you won't live to return.

I'm going.

There's a clue there
that might help heal Asta's arms.

Yes.

Please tell us how to get there.

I'll go too.

But…

Don't worry.

I won't let them harm
one strand of hair on your head.

Besides, Asta has helped me a lot.

He even showed me the path I should be on.

I owe him a huge favor.

It doesn't feel good
to leave a debt unpaid.

Let us repay him.

Yes.

Besides, I can't
leave my last student like this.

I'll just strengthen
my lower body for now!

It's not over yet!

It's not over yet!

My goal is something like this!

Leg cramps! It's so painful!

Hi, Asta.

Old Man Zell?

What? What's going on?

Stop asking. We'll fill you in later.

If we were to tell him…

How can I let you go
to such a dangerous place for my sake?

That's probably what he'll say.

It's best to play dumb for now.

Okay, let's set out.

We're heading to M Forest.

What does M stand for?

Is it a size?
Is it a medium forest or something?

I can't talk!

I have shut him up.

Zell, good job!

As expected of you.

If I had to shut someone up,

my method would be to k*ll them.

You might want to rethink your priorities.

Let's get going.

What's going on?

There was a man outside the forest
who tried to talk to me.

He was so gross!

Really?

That's underwhelming.

Anyhow, I think I saw Vanessa earlier.

No way!

If Her Majesty were to see
anyone who broke the witches' rules…

It's too scary to even imagine.

Imperfect.

Vanessa, because you left this forest,

my plan is still far from perfection.

If you had honed your Thread Magic

to the peak of perfection
as I had told you to,

you would've been able
to control even destiny.

In the end, I can't believe
you let a man like that steal you away.

You allowed a man,

and an ordinary human at that,

to order around perfect witches like us.

Aren't you ashamed?

Goodness, this is an imperfect room now.

You're the imperfect one.

Listen up.

I'll come back on one condition.

Teach me a spell
that can break ancient curses.

A girl who doesn't know her place

needs to be disciplined.

That's the Witches' Forest.

Witches' Forest?

What? What kind of place is this?

Quiet! We need to proceed
with caution now.

What's happening?

Why does everyone seem ready for battle?

We'll tell you later.

When will that be?

We're already here!
You're being too secretive!

Enough already. Remember to keep quiet.

Otherwise…

-We'll shut you up again.
-We'll shut you up again.

Domina, please continue.

The Queen's overwhelming magic

shrouds the entire forest.

The moment you use magic,

she will know your location.

Does that mean that
I can't use my Spatial Magic?

Not only that,

even if we don't use magic,

she'll sense anyone
with magical power that enters.

-What happens then?
-They're turned into Swiss cheese.

I don't have magical power.

-So I should be fine, right?
-Hush.

If that's the case, how are we getting in?

This is when these cloaks I made
come in handy!

It's called a You-Be-Gone Cloak!

When worn,

it conceals your magical power, presence,

and even your appearance!

That's amazing!

But it must be expensive, isn't it?

Not at all!

If you buy it now,
it'll only cost , yuls!

What? What a bargain!

And for a limited time only,

buy one and get one free!

Only offering the best things!

Domina's magic tools are the best!

The best!

Will this be enough?

That's too much!

I was just kidding.

Of course, I'll provide them for free.

That must also be a joke.

The look in her eyes says
she made a profit.

It seems she's hesitant to accept

such a large sum offered to her.

That's right!
There's a secret route over there!

We'll go in through that way!

Yes! We're heading
into the garden of witches!

Wait, what are we doing there?

Asta, keep quiet!

Why?

I hate it. I hate humans.

They hurt us

and stole everything.

Lady Fana.

Those Black Bull members
have made an inconceivable move.

They burned everything.

They hurt Licht.

They took Vetto's life.

I cannot forgive them!

This is nice!

So cute!

Then, when I was roaming the streets,

that man who kept yelling

actually gave me a hundred roses.

That's gross!

This is so cramped.

This makes me want to k*ll someone.

I'm sorry.

This You-Be-Gone Cloak is
only supposed to cover one person.

However, it's better than getting caught
and being turned into Swiss cheese, right?

We'll have to bear with it
until we reach the Queen.

Yes.

We're still better off than them.

I'm sorry that it's so stuffy in here.

There are only two of these cloaks.

There's a lovely legion of witches

chatting and giggling nearby!

So can you tell me
what we're doing here now?

Please.

Can't you lower the price
of this love potion?

That's already the lowest I can go.

Love potion?

Was that a male voice just now?

You must be hearing things.

How could anyone get into this forest?

You're right.

That gave me a cold sweat.

I'm sorry.

I've always dreamed
of a drug like a love potion.

Golem.

What's that?

It looks cute, doesn't it?

It's a Security Golem.

Though tiny,
once it discovers an intruder,

it calls its friends over
and they start firing magic b*ll*ts.

So that's what you meant by Swiss cheese.

Yes, that's what happens
if Golems catches you.

They will keep sh**ting
until their target dies.

They have a deceiving appearance,

but they attack mercilessly.

They're model assassins.

-Damn it. It's coming this way.
-Don't worry.

It won't notice us
as long as we're under this cloak.

Okay, let's go too.

-Why?
-Why?

Golem?

Hello, sorry to bother you.

Golem!

-Golem!
-Golem!

Dratted husband!

A naked old man is clinging to me!

What were you doing, Old Man?

It was an accident! I'm sorry!

There's no helping it.

It's Mr. Fanzell's fetish.

You probably couldn't help it, could you?

That's not it.

Such contempt from my students.

What did you say?

Men!

Invaders!

Honestly!

We might as well force our way
into the Queen's quarters!

Okay! Then I'm free to use Spatial Magic!

Let's take the shortest route!

Hello!

Why did we come here first?

A naked old man?

How about a cup of tea later?

Finral!

Pervert!

I'll be waiting for your call.

Are we still going or not?

Weird old guy!

What are you looking at?

This wasn't the shortest route!

Nobody would give me the time of day!

I can't recover from that blow.

-What?
-What?

Damn it. We're surrounded!

-Golem!
-Golem!

Spew-Smoke, a lethal magic tool.

The name describes it all, doesn't it?

There are traces of magic in that smoke

that obscure the opponent's vision
for a short period.

Let's use this chance
to head straight for the Queen's palace!

-Okay!
-Okay!

That's it!

What? Is it under construction?

Perfect!

We'll fly right in!

My back got scrapped
because I don't have a shirt on.

It's your fetish. Deal with it.

No!

It truly was just a coincidence. Honestly!

That hurt.

Imperfect.

Ms. Vanessa!

-Vanessa!
-Vanessa!

What are you doing?

I don't know who you are,

but take your damn foot off her!

How dare an intruder speak
to me in that tone!

I am the Queen of this forest

and the mother of all witches,

including that girl over there.

Vanessa, here, is also my child.

My child…

A child who disobeys her parents,

ought to be punished, right?

What did you say?

This is a family matter.

I hope outsiders will not interfere.

I am free to treat my daughters

however I wish.

I don't care
if you're the Witch Queen or whatever.

I wasn't asking about that.

I told you to take your damn foot off her!

Imperfect.

Asta!

What?

You possess no magical power.

You're truly a lowly, vulgar,
and imperfect brat.

Yes.

I have no magical power.

I can't even pick up a sword to fight now.

But I'm far more normal than
someone who steps on their own family!

You must be the brat
that Vanessa mentioned.

Why does she want to heal
a piece of trash like you?

She was even willing to sacrifice herself.

This silly girl said

that if I help to heal your arms,

she would willingly stay

and be my sl*ve for the rest of her life.

Ms. Vanessa.

Are all of you also doing this for me?

You once said that
you'll be the Magic Emperor one day.

I hope you'll be able
to make that dream come true.

Me too.

If there's someone you care about,

then none of your problems
are your own anymore.

Don't you agree, Noelle?

Yes.

All of you…

And so…

Impressive indeed.

I had concealed my k*lling intent.

But…

Old Man!

Yes, the old man has finally
pulled himself together to help Asta.

Yes, this old man has worked hard.

So can you stop calling me an old man now?

Now, Wind Creation Magic,

Slicing Wind Emperor.

Take your foot off her!

Ms. Vanessa is our friend!

How stupid.

What can imperfect beings
such as yourselves possibly do?

This girl and all of you

cannot escape fate.

The ending that awaits you

is the future seen in my divination.

They are faster than I had anticipated.

I knew they would be coming,

but this is terrible timing.

The Eye of the Midnight Sun.

-Petite Clover!
-Petite Clover!

The Forest of G!

I bought an amazing magic tool
by mail-order!

This incredible item is said to conceal
your magical power and body!

Though it costs five million yuls,

I'll be able to enter the Witches' Forest
that is rumored to be full of beauties!

What a bargain!

I'll pay it off in years!

But how strange.

The Witches' Forest
should be in this area.

What's wrong?

What was that?

Let's be friends.

Who are you?

I have a bad feeling.

I'm Gordon.

I'm also Gordon.

Hi, I'm Gordon.

We're all Gordon.

-Just call me Donny.
-Just call me Donny.

-Be friends with Gordon.
-Be friends with Gordon.

This is actually the Forest of Gordons!

The Eye of the Midnight Sun has launched
an attack against the Witch Queen.

Strange. There's another force as well.

Black Clover, Page ,

"b*ttlefield Decision."

Yes, my instructor's magic
is stripping instantly.
