[birds chirping]

[panting]



[running footsteps]

[grunting]



[grunts]

[grunting]

[growling]

[clattering]

[birds chirping]

[thudding]

[breathing heavily]

[SUBARU] [chuckling]
Let's go!

I cleared it!

[birds chirping]

[deep breaths]

-[BEATRICE] Well done.
-Huh?

You've improved
quite quickly, I suppose.

[grunts]
Oh, yeah? Thank you.



[laughs]

You have no idea
how badly I needed that.

I wish I could take
the credit for it

but it was all Petra's idea.

She'd be delighted to know
you liked it, I suppose.

[sighs]

[SUBARU]
It's already been a year

since we entered
into our contract.

[chuckling]
Time sure does fly huh?

And is it just me or do you
look cuter today, Beako?

[giggles]

Betty has only gotten cuter
over the last year!

And I've gotten a whole lot
stronger over the last year.

[BEATRICE] [giggles]
I suppose!

You really got me!

Seems you've gotten better
at telling jokes I suppose.

Well, if you think I'm joking,
then look around you!

Behold!

[SUBARU]
This secret training facility!

Not only is it packed
with obstacles

that would make most people
throw in the towel,

but I can navigate them all
flawlessly now!

[BEATRICE] You call this
a training facility?

You and Garfiel
have deluded yourselves

into thinking this isn't just a
glorified playground I suppose.

-[screaming]
-I'll make you eat those words!

-[chuckling]
-Let go!

What you're doing
is borderline spirit abuse!

[PETRA]
Subaru! Beatrice!

-Huh?
-Ha?

There's a visitor for you
at the mansion!



Big Sister Emilia said
she wants you both there.

[sighs]
An unexpected visitor.

And an adorable Emilia
requesting me.

Smells like an incident,
doesn't it?

It sounds like we got ourselves
a real headache, I suppose.

[MIMI] Hey,
it's been a while you guys!

Good to see you!

[grunts]

[SUBARU] [sighs]
Mimi!

Long time no see!
How've things been?

Absolutely amazing!

I got taller too,
so I'm all grown up now.

No one who leaps onto my head
the moment they see me

is a grown-up!

Anyway, what brings you
all the way out here, Mimi?

Ah, hold up if you're here
then does that mean?

[MIMI]
What's wrong?

Why do you look
so panicked right now?

Don't worry,
Julius isn't with me today!

[growling]



[footfall]

You're finally here, Barusu.

It certainly took you
long enough.



Pervert.

You're the pervert here
if you think this scene

is anything but heartwarming!

Huh, perhaps you should stop
making observations

about things based
on your own personal opinions.

They're irrelevant after all.

You see,
my opinion is the only one

that holds any weight here.

[SUBARU] Sounds like you've got
some conflicting views

about personal opinion!

Hey, it's about time,
what took ya?

Now get in here already.

I've had my hands full here
trying to babysit

Otto and Emilia
while you've been gone.

Now that sounds like
the kinda thing

I'd wanna watch for a while.

Please stop wasting everybody's
time and get in there.

[grunting]

[groans]

Huh?

I assume this is him?

Yes, that's right.

I'm sorry to have
kept you waiting.

I'd like you to meet my knight.

-This is Subaru Natsuki.
-[gasps]



She called me her knight!

Ugh, is everything
all right, sir?

[gasps]
Yeah, I just zoned out is all.

[SUBARU] [sheepish chuckling]
Sorry about that.

[footfall]

Per Emilia's introduction,
I'm her trusted knight,

Subaru Natsuki.

[gasps]

I appreciate the formalities.

I'm...
[clearing throat]

I'm here as a messenger
for Lady Anastasia Hoshin.

My name is Joshua Euclius.

[gasps]
Euclius, huh?

Oh, seems like
that surprised you, too!

That's right!

It just so happens that Joshua
is Julius' younger brother!

-Huh?
-Lord Subaru, was it?

My brother's spoken of you.

And I've heard all sorts
of rumors as well.

Oh, you're Julius' kid brother.

Guess that makes sense
since you do have that

same nast... I mean,
sharp look in your eyes,

and that cynic, uh,
refined curve to your lips,

and not to mention,
that same devi...

I mean,
lovely purple hair as him.

Just stop talking already it's
obvious that you're forcing it.



Anyway, I'm really sorry
to have kept you guys

waiting for so long.

Feel free to continue.

Wait, who's that girl
in your lap?

Where'd she come from?

Is there a problem with Betty,
I suppose?

Oh, you mean Beako.

Beako is actually
Sis and Bro's baby.

-Huh?
-That's right!

This little girl happens to be

my and Emilia's
adorable baby, Beatrice.

Stop it! You'll end up
scaring Joshua off.

[EMILIA] I know
I've kissed you before Subaru,

but it takes more than that
to make a baby.

I studied up on it.

[SUBARU]
Right, Sorry, Emilia.

But I feel like you'll say
something inappropriate

if we keep talking about this.

So, let's call it there, okay?
I was wrong!

So uh...
I don't mean any disrespect.

But why exactly
is Lady Beatrice here?

None taken!

Beatrice is a great spirit
I have a contract with.

Great spirit, huh?

Hey, three-eyes.

You tryna tell me
that you got a problem

with my boss bringin'
a spirit in here?

No, I'm just shocked
the rumors are actually true.

I never would've imagined
someone like him

is a spirit knight.

I'm sure that
you are probably aware,

but my brother's
a spirit knight.

In fact, he's the top spirit
knight in the entire country!

Well, duh,
of course, we know that.

He's done a lot to...

[grunt]
To help us...so much.

You're seriously
that against admitting

he's helped you before!

Betty is well informed
there are other

knight-and-spirit pairs
out there

besides the two of us.

Rumor has it he is quite
a promising one, I suppose.

That's right,
my brother is a remarkable man.

At the age of 22, he's the star

of the Imperial Knights.

Not to mention he's the Royal
Guard's second-in-command!

He's currently
separated from his role,

but when Lady Anastasia
takes the throne,

he's guaranteed
to become captain!

[JOSHUA] Even the current
Master Swordsman, Reinhard,

can't hold a candle
to my brother's knightly ways!

My brother is indeed,
a true knight!

-R-right.
-I'm highly uncomfortable.

[giggles]
My goodness.

You sure love your
big brother Julius, don't you?

[gasps]
Please forgive me for rambling.

I lose all restraint
when it comes to family.

Whatever, just get
to the point already will ya.

They say baumbehm tastes
better the longer it ages,

but there's a limit y'know?

[MIMI]
Baumbehm?

I love baumbehm!

-It's yummy!
-[grunts]

-Can we eat some?
-Uh, sure.

Yay, it's a promise!

[clearing throat]

My apologies.

Now, then...

the message for Emilia
that Lady Anastasia

entrusted me with.

Allow me to relay it
to you all.



Lady Anastasia would like to
extend an invitation to Emilia

to the Watergate City
of Priestella.

The Watergate City
of Priestella?

What business does she
have with her exactly?

She wants her
to attend a party.

And according
to Lady Anastasia,

it sounds like she's finally
found what Emilia is seeking.

Or so she says.

-What I've been seeking?
-Yes.

It seems a merchant
in Priestella

just so happens
to have the magic crystal

you've been looking for.

-[gasps]
-Magic crystal?

Yes.

Unless I'm mistaken,
you're in search of a catalyst

for recalling a great spirit,
are you not?

[gasps]



-[carriage rumbling]
-[MIMI] Bye, bye, Garf!

I'll be waiting in Pri-Pri!

-You better come and visit!
-[sheepish chuckling]

Well now, you've got
quite the admirer, Garfiel.

You act like
I'm happy about that!

[OTTO] But you don't seem
particularly upset about it.

[GARFIEL] Well, I don't
care about any of it!

-[OTTO]Be honest with yourself.
-[GARFIEL] I am being honest!

[SUBARU] If we do it
I'm scared we'll end up owing

a debt to Anastasia.

What kind of city
is Priestella?

Like is it famous for anything?

It's huge.

One of the biggest cities
in Lugunica.

And sits right on the border
of the city-state of Kararagi.

There are canals running
throughout the city,

I've heard it's supposed
to be really beautiful.

Oh, so, it's a city
on the water, huh?

In terms of the world I know,

I guess it sounds
a lot like Venice.

Never heard of it,

but Priestella
isn't just a city on water,

it's the Watergate City,
so it's different.

-The Watergate City?
-Yes.

It's built
in the middle of a lake,

and whenever it rains,

the whole city
ends up underwater.

[EMILIA] Because of that
the city is surrounded

by giant walls,

and there are
several water gates

that can control
the water level.

I feel like all that did
was change the image of it

in my head from a water capital
to a water prison.

It's a little odd
for her to invite you

to a place like that, isn't it?

Maybe she is just
inviting me to a party

and doing it out of kindness.

I hate to say it, but all the
royal selection candidates

have their own peculiarities.

Right.

[EMILIA]
But...

It's just that...
there's so much to tell Puck

and so much I want to ask him.

So...

Hmm.

You had better get your butt
back here soon, cat spirit!

In case you've forgotten I've
got a hell of a lot of grudges

I need to take out on you.

[gasps]

[chuckles]



[EMILIA] I'm deeply sorry that
I have to leave the mansion

at such an important time.

Please,
there's no need to worry

and know that going forward
I have every intention

of honoring your will,
Lady Emilia.

I know fully well that this
is a terribly busy time,

with the assembly of the
western nobles and all that.

[sighs]

Good grief, would it k*ll you
to at least pretend

to show a bit of remorse
on the matter, Master.

Don't you think
that's a bit harsh, Frederica?

Of course, Master.

[ROSWAAL]
Frankly, it worries me a bit

to send you
and Subaru there alone,

but if Garfiel
and Otto are with you

then I suppose
it should be fine.

I don't need to worry
about Otto making mistakes

during negotiations,

and if he does Garfiel
can destroy anything

to help you to escape.

I'm not sure how sound
of a plan that is

but I promise
I'll do my best to handle

whatever comes our way.

Hey, you don't have to handle
everything, Emilia.

Whether it's Anastasia

or Julius
that we're up against,

when it comes
to conversations...

I'm the worst!

Uh... I don't know
if that's something

you should be bragging about.

Well, in that case,
is it safe to assume

that Ram will be staying
behind at the mansion?

If that's your wish
Master Roswaal, I will.

Everything is decided then.

Well, I'm counting on you
to watch over everyone.

You got that Beatrice?

Mew?

I planned on doing that
anyway, I suppose.

[owl hooting]

-[thuds]
-[OTTO] Y'know what?

I might not show it
but I want you guys to know

that I'm always
thinking about you!

[hiccupping]

You know you're basically
an internal affairs officer

at this point, right?

Why are you lookin'
so pitifully at me right now?

[GARFIEL]
C'mon, Otto, relax will ya?

-[SUBARU] Hmm?
-[OTTO] Hm?

You should know boss ain't the
type to tease people too much.

And besides he already settled
on ten Ottos a day, remember?

Oh, yeah?

And what the heck is "ten Ottos
a day" s'posed ta mean anyway?

[knocking on door]

Hmm.

[door creaking open]

[SUBARU]
I'm coming in.

[door creaking close]



Hmm.



Rem.

[sighs]

It looks like I won't get
to see you again for a while.

But man, do I have a lot of
things to tell you about today.

First off, an uninvited guest
came and gave us

this huge new problem
to deal with.



[carriage rumbling]

[OTTO] Before we meet
with Lady Anastasia,

it might help if I tell you

where the royal selection
currently stands.

-Right.
-Hm.

At first,
Duchess Crusch Kursten

and Lady Anastasia Hoshin
were seen as the top pick

and leading rival.

And as for the other three
including yourself.

If I'm permitted
to speak so bluntly,

you're thought to be there
to balance the numbers.

[EMILIA]
Yes, I think that's undeniable.

But over this past year,
people's opinions of you

seem to have improved,
at the very least.



[OTTO]
Your achievements in working

with two powerful forces
to take out the White Whale

and a Sin Archbishop
played a big role in that.

And the other two
number-balancing candidates,

they've managed to make a huge
amount of progress this year,

Priscilla especially.

After she inherited
her late husband's territory,

influential people concerned
about the state of affairs

surrounding her
joined her side.

And since her beauty
and temperament allowed her

to manipulate folks easily,

she's now revered
as the "Sun Princess"

and gains momentum by the day.

And as for Felt,

the only strength
she had was her knight,

Sir Reinhard von Astrea.

The ones she set her sights on
were people who had

considerable talents
but troubled personalities,

those who already bore wounds.

She earned their allegiance,

and with her
flexible perspective,

set forth massive reforms
in the domain.

So, in the last year,
not a single one

of the major pieces
have fallen off the board.

-[OTTO] However...
-Hmm.

[OTTO]
Since Duchess Crusch Kursten

lost her memories

in the battle
against the Witch's Cult,

her outlook
is hardly favorable.

In other words,
Anastasia is the only candidate

who has managed not to lose
any of her momentum yet.

Her position before and after
the Royal Selection

began remains unchanged.

Anastasia has had
some help though.

If I'm not mistaken
she's had the Hoshin company

backing her up all this time.

Yes.

[OTTO] Their greatest
weapon is their wealth.

Striking with their
financial might

is by far their best move.

This invitation from Anastasia
and not to mention

the likelihood of becoming
indebted to her after this.

Do you see why this ordeal's
making me so nervous?

Now that I have
a really good understanding,

I can see how my willful
actions caused you concern.

As long as you understand

we have nothing
to be worried about.

Besides it's not like we're
handling this all by ourselves.

It's like this
dragon-drawn carriage.

What do you mean
by that exactly?

[OTTO] Natsuki is in charge
of holding the reins right now.

Beatrice is watching him
to make sure

he doesn't slack off.

Garfiel is keeping
an eye on our surroundings.

And I'm the one responsible
for the carriage's itinerary.

But you have
the most important job here,

showering us
with words of encouragement

as we laboriously
make our way to Priestella.

You know for just
a second there

you sounded
a whole lot like Subaru.

What?
Did I really?

That's not good.

[both laughing]

Hey, what's with all the
commotion back there?

Huh?
What's got you two so giggly?

[SUBARU] Here, take
the reins for a minute!

[BEATRICE]
Wait, I can't, Subaru!

-[BEATRICE] Stop it, I suppose!
-Hey!

-[BEATRICE] Subaru!
-What are you doing?

-Are you trying to crash?
-[screaming]

[GARFIEL]
You sure that's a good idea?

[BEATRICE]
Subaru! Wait!

Wait!

[screaming]



Subaru!

[indistinct chatter]

[SUBARU] They're awfully
strict with security here.

This is feeling more
and more like a water prison.

[bell tolling]

[rumbling]



-[gasps]
-Amazing.

[seagulls squawking]

[GARFIEL] Damn,
this is one hell of a view.

[BEATRICE]
Priestella is a Watergate city

that was built
on top of a lake.

It was made using


Its construction is strange,
but considering

that the city itself
was meant to be a trap,

it makes sense that
they built it so the water

would easily collect
in the center, I suppose.

[EMILIA] They built
the city to be a trap?

That sounds so insidious.

[SUBARU] Were they
trying to trap mabeasts?

No one is certain.

[BEATRICE] There are no
surviving records explaining

what the trap could've been
used for, I suppose.

[SUBARU] Man, this city
is practically a maze isn't it?

[EMILIA] Since it was built
around the canals,

the parts on land ended up

being much more complicated
than they would've liked.

[OTTO] Dragon-drawn boats
are more common

than dragon-drawn
carriages here.

[roaring]

[whistling]

[roars]

[seagulls squawking]

[SUBARU]
"Wings on the Water."

[EMILIA]
This building really sticks out

like a sore thumb here.

Hang on, is this
where we're staying?

It looks like a Japanese inn.

[ANASTASIA] You all
certainly look surprised.

Which makes me all the happier
I chose this place for you.

-Lady Anastasia.
-Hiya.

Welcome to Priestella,
everyone.

Thanks for coming
on short notice.

-[gasps]
-It's good to see you, Julius.

Lovely to see you
as well, Lady Emilia.

It's been far too long
since I've seen you.

The view here is magnificent,
don't you think, Lord Subaru?

Yeah, Lord Subaru, my a*s.

You can drop the act,
all right?

Such grotesque words

from someone
in such an honorific position.

I've only ever treated you
with respect.

"With respect."
You big creep.

Your sarcasm makes me
sick to my stomach.

-[giggling]
-I see now.

Your status changed,
but it appears to have had

little effect
on your disposition.

Uh, look you guys,
it's perfectly normal

to rekindle
an old friendship but...

[gasps]
You must be...

[gasps]

-Oh, my name's--
-I apologize for my neglect.

I wasn't made aware
that such a high-ranking

great spirit as yourself
would be accompanying

this odd sort
into the city today.

[scoffs]

I can introduce you
to him, okay?

This is Beatrice, the loli...

I mean the spirit
that I'm contracted with.

As Subaru's partner
it's only natural

that Betty be accompanying him,
I suppose.

Not that I should
have to tell you

but I'm of an entirely
different status, rank,

and cuteness than the spirits
you like to keep around.

Now, that I've made
my presence here known to you.

Might I request some delicious
tea and pastries, I suppose?

Don't abandon your dignity
at the end like that!

[giggling]

[MIMI] [gasps]
Garf, you're here!

Why didn't Milady
tell me you arrived!

Come on, let's explore the inn!

I can show you around!

Hey, hold on!

I'm not done talkin' yet!

[GARFIEL]
Damn, you're strong!

Inn tour! Inn tour!

[sighs]
I guess we should go too then.

Hm?

You doing all right
over there, Otto?

No, not that it matters.

It doesn't matter.

[EMILIA] This place has
such a peculiar feel to it.

We're sitting on the floor
and even took our shoes off.

If I had to guess there's
probably no bedrooms or beds

and just futons
to lay on the floor.

I wonder if that means we have
to wear yukata indoors, too.

You seem to know a lot
about this place, Subaru.

You sure do.

Where did ya study up
so much on Kararagi's style?

[SUBARU] Kararagi's style?
You mean this inn?

Uh-huh, that's right.

This sort of Wafu architecture
is traditional in Kararagi.

[SUBARU]
Wafu architecture?

I can't get over
how familiar that sounds.

In case you all didn't know,

Priestella was actually
built by Hoshin.

He was one of the great men
who founded Kararagi.

Who's that?

Known as Hoshin
of the Wilderness.

For over 400 years now,

he's been remembered for both
his innovative creativity,

as well as his
revolutionary ideas.

[SUBARU]
Hoshin of the Wilderness, huh?

He was probably summoned
from another world.

Specifically Japan like me.



[door opens]

[birds chirping]

Lady Anastasia,
preparations are complete.

Thank you for letting me know.

Shall we get
straight to the topic

you all have been
waiting for now?

The magic crystal
you're looking for

is currently
in the possession of the heir

to the biggest trade company
in all of Priestella.

[ANASTASIA] Joshua has arranged
a dragon-drawn boat

to take all of you
to the Muse Company.

The heir to the Muse Company
has the crystal?

Yep.

He happens to be a gifted
businessman himself,

but in this city, he's known
by a far more poetic name.

He goes by another name?

Yeah.

"The Man Whose Heart
Was Stolen by the Songstress."

In other words...

the Songstress Maniac.



[EMILIA]
I've never ridden a boat

over water like this before!

It may sound strange
but I'm excited!

This guy's gotta be a weirdo
to have a name like that.

Hold up.

[SUBARU] Is that canal flowing
in a different direction?

[EMILIA] [giggles]
Are you surprised?

I actually know this one.

Look over there.

That's the control tower
that manages the flow

of all the water
inside of the city.

The tower is actually a metia
of very complex construction.

It uses water magic stones
to control the water flow.

The water is so important here
that polluting it in any way

is severely penalized,
so please be careful.

Especially you, Garfiel,
since you haven't taken

your eyes off the water
this entire time.

It ain't like I'm scared
of water or anything okay?

It's just I don't wanna fall in

and get my clothes wet,
that's all.

[OTTO] Then do you mind
loosening up your death grip

on my cloak?

'Cause it sounds like
you're gonna tear it.

[giggling]

You're all acting like
it's the first time

you've ever seen water.

You should try to learn
from the much more ladylike

Betty's exampl...
Subaru?



Uh-oh.

What's wrong?

Is something the matter,
I suppose?

-Hm?
-Hm?

[grunts]

This is bad.

[SUBARU]
I think I'm gonna puke.

[groaning]

The nightmare of when I rode
the ferry on our school trip

to the ocean
just came back to me.

[gagging]
sh*t, the world is swaying.

I feel like
I'm on a rollercoaster.

It sounds to me
like you just need

a little bit of fresh air,
I suppose.

[BEATRICE] Since you're feeling
ill I think we should leave

the Songstress Maniac
to those three.

[sighs]
Hang on!

Did they actually take
advantage of me getting seasick

and then use it to separate me
from Emilia just now?

Now, she doesn't have
to suffer being around

your seasick afflicted self,
I suppose.

C'mon, I'll be fine.

Sure, I still feel
a little unsteady,

but I think
it should be manageable.

As long as
I'm holding your hand,

the heartwarming power
will cancel it out.

Well, aren't you
a smooth talker.

But, if anything happens,

Betty will find a way
to handle it, I suppose.

Awesome!
I'm counting on you, okay?

[SUBARU] Now then,
let's get back to them

before Emilia misses me
and starts crying her eyes out!

[bell tolling]

So... The Muse Company.

Are we positive this is the
right way to get there by land?

Nearly positive, yes.

[SUBARU] Then why do I feel
like we've passed here before?

[footfall]

You're not lost right now,
are you?

Please don't tell me
you're lost.

No, I know exactly
where we are, I suppose.

However, if you're
that worried about it

I guess we could
ask someone for directions

where to go just in case.

I thought so,
you're lucky you're adorable.

[SUBARU] But uh,
there's no one around to ask.



-Huh?
-Huh?



[singing foreign language]

-Hah!
-Whoa, amazing!

[singing foreign language]

[SUBARU]
Hold on a second.

Her singing is good,
but I can't help but notice

the lyrics are terrible.

[gasps]

[shocked whispers]
[indistinct chatter]

[growls]

[SUBARU]
Eh?

Oh, crap I k*lled the mood
just now, didn't I?

Subaru, you idiot!

How could you say something
so incredibly rude like that?

[SPECTATOR 01-A [M]]
Show some respect, will ya?

-What's your problem, kid?
-Don't interrupt her!

[SPECTATOR 01-D [M]]
Idiot!

[indistinct chatter]

[screaming]

[footfall]

[groaning]

That couldn't have gone
any worse.

It feels like
every bone in my body

is crying out for help.

Well, don't look at me.

I'm not using healing magic
on you, I suppose.

You're better off
asking Emilia to heal you.

[SUBARU] [groans]
What are you saying?

You always get grumpy
when I ask Emilia to heal me.

Haa?

Hey, uh, sorry.

I didn't mean
to interrupt you earlie--

[LILIANA]
A song's come to me!

-Huh?
-Huh?

Here's my new song, It's called
'The Age Differences in Love!'



[singing foreign language]

[gasps]

[singing foreign language]

[water trickling]

[singing foreign language]

Huh?

[singing foreign language]

[hands clapping]

W-wha...

Hey, what makes you think
it's okay for you to suddenly

jump in and join her song
like that, I suppose!

And why were you so quick
to accept this song

after you were complaining
about the other one?

What's there to be
upset about, Beako?

Singing transcends
national borders.

Really?
I think so too!

Liliana finds herself to be
trembling with excitement.

Not actually trembling, though.

Hm, hm.

Somehow or another
it feels like I'm the one

in the wrong
and I won't accept it!

Oh, I'm sorry!

I haven't even
introduced myself yet!

[LILIANA]
In case you haven't noticed

I'm a bard that makes a living
using only this lyulyre

and my voice.

My name is Liliana.

Hi, it's nice to meet yo...

-Ah...
-She bit her tongue.

So sorry.

I just bit my tongue
super hard.

Huh?

Hold on, do you think
she could be...

Hey, you wouldn't happen
to be the songstress

that's famous
in this city, would you?

Famous songstress?

It's a bit embarrassing
to be called that

but yes, that's me.

Oh, then you know about the guy
from the Muse Company

they call the
"Songstress Maniac," right?



[LILIANA] I don't mind
showing you the way,

but you did listen to my song,

so I think it's only fair
you pay me something, right?

What happened
to you being embarrassed

to be called "Songstress," huh?

It'd be more embarrassing
to not get paid for it.

You're not trying to get away
with listening to my songs

for free now, are you?

Okay, fine, I'll pay,
now how much do you want?

Let's see!

You should pay the amount
that you feel I deserve!

Give me as much as you can!

Hold up, this is extortion!

So, you're just
not gonna pay me?

Oh, a song's come to me!

Here's 'Crushing Waves,
High Waves,

and Society's Ups and Downs!'

-[SUBARU] I can't afford it!
-Oh?

[LILIANA] And while
we were talking about that,

we've arrived!

-Huh, so this is it?
-[LILIANA] Yep!

[LILIANA]
Now that we're here it's time

for my last song of the day,
'Happy-Go-Lucky Life!'

You don't take no
for an answer, do you?

I don't think anyone else
has creeped me out this much

with just their words
and behavior since Betelgeuse.

Really?

I don't have any idea
who that even is

but it sounds like
this Betelgeuse guy

shows some serious promise!

If I ever run
into him somewhere

I'm sure
he'll be the worthiest rival

I come across in my life!

He's a Sin Archbishop
in the Witch's Cult.

Huh?



You can't say that
and then walk away!

[LILIANA]
You're not the one they call...

"Subaru Natsuki
the Little Girl User," are you?

I'm not happy about
having that nickname,

but yeah, that's me.

Your support
in Duchess Crusch Kursten's

subjugation of the White Whale,

one of the Three Great
Mabeasts, was powerful!

The groomsman of history,

whom even the Sword Demon
Wilhelm respects.

And with the help
of Duchess Kursten

and Lady Anastasia
of the Hoshin Company,

you shook the entire world
by taking down

the Sin Archbishop
of Sloth of the Witch Cult,

and even slew the Great Rabbit,

another of the
Three Great Mabeasts!

I can't believe
a real living legend

listened to one
of my songs earlier

and is standing next to me now!

[screams]

[DYNAS] Miss Liliana,
is something wrong?

Who are these two with you?

Oh, we're attendants
of Lady Emilia,

who's in the middle
of an important meeting

-inside there.
-[gasps]

[LILIANA]
Does that mean...

if I accommodate
this business meeting,

the Little Girl User
Subaru Natsuki will be so kind

as to tell me
all of his stories?

Look, I'm gonna need you
to stop calling me that.

And what "stories"
are you talking about?

[LILIANA] Oh, you know,
this and that and everything!

I wanna know if all the rumors
I've heard about you

are actually true!

And once I hear about them
I wanna sing about them.

Then I'll be able
to write a heroic tale

that will be sung
for generations to come!

So?
You ready or what?

To weigh honor against empathy
and then shatter them

is the Liliana Masquerade way!

What is there to accomplish
by shattering them both?

Kiritaka is
head-over-heels for me,

so he would do anything
I asked him to.

If I were to talk to him, I bet
that silly business meeting

will move forward much faster!

[SUBARU] Why do
I feel like this is against

what business meetings
are even for?

I'm sure it'll be fine!
You just leave

-negotiations to me!
-Huh?

Hey, wait up!
Hang on a second!

I beg of you.

It would mean the world if you
gave me the magic crystal.

Hmm.

-[SUBARU] Seriously, come on!
-Huh?

[SUBARU] What are you gonna do
just barge in there?

[LILIANA] Actually that's
exactly what I plan on doing!

L-Liliana?
What is going on?

[LILIANA]
All I'm asking is that you

please make me a woman!

-[gasps]
-Subaru?

Oh, hey,
how's it going Emilia?

You come here often?

Why are you causing
such a ruckus and who is that?

-[whimpering]
-Excuse me, is something wrong?

-Let go!
-Huh?

-Now!
-Ah?

-[gasps]
-Let go!

Let go of her at once!

[expl*si*n]

[growling]

What possessed you
to want to get touchy-feely

with the Songstress
right in front of a guy

they call the
"Songstress Maniac?"

I wasn't getting
touchy-feely, okay?

Looked to me like
you were rasslin' with her.

I wasn't "rasslin'" either!

Well, you perfectly timed
ruining the deal

we were about to make with him.

Yes, but I'm sure it wasn't
Subaru's intention to.

Yeah, exactly!
I was just trying to help!

You should still
apologize, Subaru.

Right, sorry
for messing things up.

[giggling]
What am I going to do with you?

[gasps]
I'm sorry sir!

No need to apologize.

I wasn't watching
where I was going.

I found myself captivated
by your beauty.

What was that?

[REGULUS] I was mesmerized
by that lovely silver hair.

[SUBARU]
All right, that's enough.

There's no need for that.

Look, you both
weren't paying attention

and accidentally
bumped into one another.

She said sorry,
so get a move on, will ya?

Wait, Subaru.

Aren't you being
a little rude right now?

It'll be fine, 'kay?

I'm thankful for us
meeting like this.

It's quite thoughtful
of the water city

to arrange it for us.

[REGULUS]
You're right.

Thanks for that
courteous display.

While my reasons
for clinging to you all

are shallow at the moment.

I have faith
when the opportunity arises,

fate will bring us
back together on its own.

Couldn't agree more.

So, yeah, here's hoping
that fate chooses

to bring us back together soon.



Uh-huh...

What's up, Emilia?
Is everything all right?

Yes.

I just feel like...

I've met that man
somewhere before.

Hmm.

Anyway we should take
some time to regroup

before thinking
of a new plan of action

to get the crystal
from the Songstress Maniac.

I have errands to take care of,
but I'll meet you all later.

-You're leaving?
-For now!

Since I've come
all the way here to Priestella,

I'd like to make
the best use of my time.

He sure is passionate
about his work.

What the hell?

I'm getting a big whiff
of somebody getting pissed off

back at the inn.

[RACHINS]
Don't make me repeat myself!

Quit being a smart-a*s
and get your master over here

before I snap!

I wouldn't so much
as consider bringing my brother

before a ruffian like yourself,
much less my master.

Now, please leave.

Huh?

[RACHINS] How dare you
talk to me like that, you brat!

I oughta kick your teeth in!

-[EMILIA] That's enough!
-[gasps]

[JOSHUA] Lady Emilia!
You're back already?

What happened here?

Whatever it is
can be handled calmly.

I'll tell you exactly
what happened here!

This brat's having a power trip

and not letting me
inside the inn!

Hey, I thought
you looked familiar

but now I know for sure.



You're Dumber, aren't you?

[RACHINS]
Who you callin' Dumber?

I do have a name, y'know!

-It's Rachins, ya got it?
-Wait, Rachins?

-Oh, man, that's even worse!
-Shaddup!

You know each other?
How is that?

He's actually an old
acquaintance from the capital.

It was a while back
but he and his two buddies

tried to rob me
of everything I had.

From all Betty has heard so far

you seem to be no more
than trash, I suppose.

Just who the hell
are you callin' trash?

You don't have to waste
your time on this guy,

leave him to me.

I'll have him sorted in...
[grunts]

Huh?



There you are.

I wondered
why you weren't back yet.

You didn't cause trouble,
did you, Rachins?

[growling]

[gasping]

Reinhard, is that you?

Indeed, it's been
quite a while, Subaru.

I've heard the rumors lately.

I'm happy to see
that you're doing well.

[REINHARD] Actually, there's
much I'd like to discuss

since I haven't seen you
in about a year.

But before that, would you mind
calling your friend off?

I assume you two
know each other.

[SUBARU]
Chill out, Garfiel!

That man's name is Reinhard.

He's, uh...
He's a friend of mine.

There's no need
for you to fight him.

What he says is true.

My name is Reinhard van Astrea.

[REINHARD] I'd appreciate if
you shared your name with me.

[sighs]

The name's Garfiel Tinzel.

I see, so you're the one
known as Lady Emilia's shield?

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Ah?
What the...

I apologize if I offended you.

I'll try to be more careful.

Uh...

I apologize for the awful
misunderstanding Reinhard.

[EMILIA]
Are you all right?

I couldn't be happier
to see you again, Lady Emilia.

Fortunately, for me your
friend's aim is rather good,

so I stopped
the attack with ease.

I heard about
what Felt has been up to.

It sounds like she's been
incredibly busy as of late.

[REINHARD] Yes, but her
achievements are nowhere near

as magnificent as yours.

And, Subaru,
when you have the time to,

I want to hear all about how
you conquered the White Whale.

I actually have a connection
to that mabeast myself.

Sure, I'd be happy to.

But before
I tell you about that.

I need you to explain
how you know Rachins here.

Ah, gladly.

Rachins is working
for Felt at the moment.

[REINHARD]
Rachins,

I'll explain everything
to you later.

But for now, please have Felt
return to the inn shortly.

All right, all right.

If anything happens
you just send up a signal

and I'll be there in seconds.

[sighing]

[RACHINS] The scary part is,
I can tell you're not joking.

[footfall]

Looks like what happened
with Reinhard earlier

is really bothering him.

He just got a taste
of his own medicine.

I think it was a healthy
opportunity for him

to learn that there's someone
stronger than him I suppose.

If you don't mind, please wait
in here for Lady Anastasia.

She will arrive shortly.

-[JOSHUA] Pardon me.
-[door opens]

-[footfall]
-Hm?

[chuckles]
Hey, Subaru!

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Felix is here?
And Crusch, too?

[birds chirping]

Wow, and even Wilhelm!

It's been way too long.

Hello, Grandfather.

You're here as well, Reinhard.

Huh?

[birds chirping]

[SUBARU]
Anyway, I was shocked to hear

you guys were
invited here, too.

[CRUSCH] Funny enough,
we didn't expect you all

to be here either.

What a pleasant coincidence.

I don't know about you,
but I had no idea

that Reinhard and Wilhelm
were even related.

[EMILIA] And yet, they refuse
to look each other in the eye.

All right, so,
why did you invite all of us

to this Inn, Lady Anastasia?

You think there's
some big reason, huh?

I genuinely just wanted
to spend some time

with all of you
and talk for a little bit.

Which is why I made sure
I didn't invite

the usual suspects
who don't listen.

-Who are you referring to?
-I see.

That must be why Priscilla
wasn't invited

to join us today.

It's not like I didn't want to,

she really just
does her own thing though

and I couldn't find
any excuse to invite her.

And I've actually been
gettin' along pretty well

with Felt lately.

What do you mean "excuse?"

If someone's gonna come here,

I only wanna do it

if I have a gift that
they like, you know?

Okay, so then why was
Crusch's party invited here?

The reason that we traveled

all the way here
to Priestella is

because Lady Anastasia
mentioned she wanted

to discuss the Sin Archbishop
representing Gluttony with us.

[gasps]

I wasn't trying
to be mean to you or anything

on purpose, Natsuki.

It's just that...

I knew Crusch was far more
likely to be interested

in this matter than you.

That's all.

I know that you're
thinking like a merchant.

But even so,
it still pisses me off.

Seems as though you've
grown up in such a short time.

[SUBARU]
Ah, shut up!

I'm barely holding myself back,
so don't test me.

I can understand
you're a bit upset

but I didn't want to keep you
in the dark with this.

Crusch was also intent
that you be let in on things.

[ANASTASIA] She's too kind
for her own good sometimes.

[gasps]

[CRUSCH] Of course,
since it concerns my memories,

I'd much prefer to settle
the score with Gluttony myself.

That being said I'm aware
that it would be foolish

not to acknowledge your
burning desire to save Rem.

You mean that?

[CRUSCH] Besides,
I feel it's best to have

as many people as possible
with the same goal.

No matter whose blade
reaches him first,

there's no hard feelings.

It means the world
to hear that.

I swear I'll do my best to
live up to your expectations.

I will.
I promise.

Even so, I still think we'll be
the ones to get to him first.

[door opens]

I really hope for your sake
you didn't start without me!

It's surprising to see
just how little has changed

after a whole year.

But I suppose I could say
the same for me, too.

[REINHARD]
Hey, Felt.

I thought I had prepared
clothing appropriate for you

to wear outside.

Why aren't you wearing it?

Hah!

Like I'm gonna play along
with your taste in clothing.

Going out sightseeing
was just an excuse I made.

I was actually shopping
for a change of clothes.

I truly can't believe
you sometimes.

[smirks]

Thank you
for inviting me today.

It's a pleasure to be here.

As fellow candidates
in the royal selection,

I hope that we're able to have
a productive discussion.

[both whimpering]

[FELT]
And that's enough of that!

Let me in on this, too!

This is such
a weird town, isn't it?

Even this building
is kinda weird.

I'm not used to all this so the
experience is wearing me out.

I'll never be
a match for you, Felt.

Anyway, I'm really happy
to hear you're findin'

everything in the city
to be new and different.

[ANASTASIA]
There's still more to this inn

you haven't seen too.

[whimpering]

This feels amazing.

-[GARFIEL] Hey, Boss.
-Huh?

Yeah, what's up?

[sighs]
[GARFIEL]Sorry, but...

you mind if I step outside and
get some air for a little bit?

Look, Garfiel,

you're too strong to beat
yourself up like this.

I'm strong
but not the strongest.

[GARFIEL]
And as far as I'm concerned

that ain't enough.

[footsteps receding]

Eh, I'm sure he'll be over it
after he gets a little sleep.

[BEATRICE]
Peek.

Peek.

Sneak, sneak, sneak,
sneak, sneak,

sneak, sneak, sneak, sneak.

Sneak, sneak.

[BEATRICE]
It suits me. I suppose.

[SUBARU]
Hm?

Beako!

[SUBARU] Are you wearing
what I think you're wearing?

Uh-ha!

As you can see from my attire,

Betty is not quite
the usual Betty right now!

Incredible!
They even have yukata here!

Beako's so pretty!
Beako's so lovely!

[EMILIA] You're getting
too excited, Subaru.

[SUBARU]
Emilia's wearing one too?



[gasps]

Are you okay?

Your breathing
seems rather coarse.

Is it possible
that you have a fever?

If I do,
it's a mild fever of love.

Hey!

While we were in the bath

I was told that
my useless knight over here

gave your blonde friend
a pretty hard time earlier.

What happened
between the two of us

was nothing more
than a misunderstanding.

In truth, he's quite talented.

Especially,
for someone of his age.

That condescension with
a total lack of self-awareness

isn't very convincing.

[REINHARD]
But more importantly.

That outfit you're wearing...

I think it suits you very well.

Uh, ugh.

You know,
it might sound strange

but in a way
it's kinda refreshing to see

how roughly you treat Reinhard.

I, myself, had ulterior motives
from the start with Emilia,

so in that sense,

Felix and Crusch probably have
the most ideal relationship.

[chuckles]

While I appreciate that,

it is a bit
embarrassing to hear.

Right?
Just a little.

Well, since I absolutely have
ulterior motives regarding you

I don't know what to say.

Huh?

Anyway, I'm hungry.
I'm gonna go grab food.

Wait Subaru!

You can't leave after
creating this awkwardness!

You don't have
anything to worry about.

After all
I was obviously joking.

[ELSA]
You really are a coward.

[gasps]
[growls]

You do understand
why you're able to see me.

Am I right
in assuming that much?

That's enough!

[GARFIEL]
Shut your damn mouth!



That's right.
You are far too weak.

[growls]

[ELSA]
The only reason you didn't die

by my hand last time

is because you got
a little bit lucky.

It was pure chance
that you managed to k*ll me.

Certainly nothing
more than that.

[GARFIEL]
I said shut it!

[ELSA] But you do know
that you're weak, right?

You are nothing more

than spineless weakling,
and yet...

you managed to defeat me.

[gasps]

[sighs]

[Mimi chuckles]

[MIMI]
There you are, Garf!

-Hm?
-Where are you going?

[MIMI]
I wanna go, too!

[Mimi giggles]

[grunts]

[MIMI] Why are you
making a weird face?

Did something funny
happen to you or something?

Does this look like a
"something funny

just happened" face?

I ain't obligated to tell you,
so I ain't gonna.

Ya know, when you talk
about obligation

and stuff like that,
it kinda makes

ya sound like Joshua.

Hmm.

You don't need to be
so reserved about it

if you ask me.

[MIMI]
And besides, you look cooler

when you laugh like a dummy!

Uh...

Whaddya mean,
"like a dummy," ya brat?

[Mimi laughing]

[grunts]



Hey come over here, Garf!
Look at this!

The sunset looks so pretty!

[MIMI]
It's so red!

[GARFIEL]
Yo, chill out a little, huh?

[MIMI]
No, thanks!

Well, worth a shot.

♪ La la la la la la la ♪

[Mimi humming]

Well, I guess
brooding over it forever

ain't gonna help too much.

What did you say?

Don't worry about it.

[GARFIEL] I can't just
get to be the strongest

outta nowhere, right?

All that means is
I'm still in the middle

of makin' my climb
to the very top!

Yeah!

On the long, long uphill
climb to bein' the strongest!

Hey, you actually understand
what I'm sayin', don'tcha?

[GARFIEL]
That's right!

[BOTH] I'll keep climbing
till I'm the strongest!

You'll keep climbing
till you're the strongest!

[water gurgling]

[gasps]

Hey, Garf, look!

Huh?

[kids laughing]

[wood creaking]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[water splashes]

[wood creaking]

[thuds]

[water splashes]

[ALL]
Huh.

There.
Safe and sound now.

[MIMI]
Wow!

You're the coolest!

-[FRED] M-Mister.
-Hm?

Thanks for saving us
back there.

[scoffs]
Don't mention it, kiddo.

[FRED] Would you mind telling
us your name, mister?

My name ain't important
enough to give out.

[GARFIEL] But if you need
something to remember me by.

I'm a tiger!

People call me...

"Gorgeous Tiger!"

Gorgeous Tiger is so cool.

[ALL]
The Gorgeous Tiger!

[kids giggling]

[ALL]
So cool!

[whimpering]

[SUBARU]
It's gorgeous!

[EMILIA] Can we
really eat all this as is?

You've never eaten this, huh?

Everything in front of you
are types of food

ya can't experience if ya ain't
near the Tigracy River.

Now this is a meal
I can really get behind.

[chomps]

[SUBARU]
Yum!

I missed sashimi so much!
It's great!

You're the best,
Lady Anastasia!

I-It tastes that good?

[SUBARU]
It's delicious!

It must be because it's fresh!
You gotta try some!

[Beatrice whimpering]

Hm? What's
going on with you, Beako?

I-Is this green blob
sitting in the center poison,

I suppose?

[BEATRICE]
I-It made my nose sting!

[Emilia laughs]

[indistinct chatter]

[GARFIEL] After that
I looked at 'em and said,

"I know all the evil things
you small fries are up to!"

Cool, am I right?

So cool!
I've got chills!

Oh, wow!

So...

[GARFIEL]
Is this where you guys live?

[FRED]
Yup.

I can't help but feel like
you wandered awfully far

for a couple of kids your age.

I hope my sister isn't angry.

I left without
telling her anything.

Ah, man,

if anyone knows how scary
older sisters can be,

it'd be me.

You leave her to me
and I'll sort it out, okay?

You mean it, Gorgeous Tiger?

-Fred!
-Oh. Hey there, sis.

[RAFIEL]
Where were you?

How much must you make me worry
before you're satisfied?

Take it easy, sis.

He didn't mean any harm by it,
so cut him some slack, huh?

[REALA]
Rafiel.

Did Fred turn up?

[gasps]

It appears you've been
caring for my son.

I appreciate it.

[whimpering]



[whimpering]

[GARFIEL]
M-Mom?

[insects chirping]

[sighs]

I couldn't eat any more
if I wanted.

[whining]

That being said.

I could get used to eating
that kind of food, I suppose.

[insects chirping]

[footsteps approaching]

I apologize if I happened
to startle you.

It's not that,

I was just
lost in the view is all.

[SUBARU] The Sword Demon in
a Japanese-style garden.

You look good in the moonlight.

It suits you.

I do appreciate the kind words

but I believe
that's the sort of thing

you should say to a woman.

Sorry you had
to waste it on me.

Yeah, well, the girl
I want to appeal to right now

isn't exactly the type
to fall for sappy lines

like "the moonlight suits you."

[WILHELM]
That frustration is part of

what makes love so enjoyable.

Do I smell the rambling
of an old man coming on?

Would you like to hear that?

Absolutely.

Well, then...

I was not always articulate.

Not like I am today.

To be honest I hardly
spoke at all back then.

[WILHELM] Wielding the sword
was everything to me.

Everything I thought before
I started swinging the sword

and the things I thought
whilst swinging it

were what ended up
defining who I was as a person.

It was my wife
who eventually led me

to see
this painfully obvious truth.

Ever since then
whenever I swing a sword

I always think of her.

Even now you still do?

I suppose back then
and even now,

it was the sword
that tied us both together.

[WILHELM]
As long as I carry a sword,

I will continue
to think of her.

If I recall, your wife was

the previous
Master Swordsman, right?

[WILHELM]
Yes, but in peacetime,

she was an ordinary woman,

one who loved flowers.

The heroes who write
their names into history

are not those same heroes
every moment of their lives.

[WILHELM] I believe the same
can be said for you, Subaru.

You may not realize it.

But your name has spread
further than you can imagine.

That can't be true.

[WILHELM]
I'm a firm believer

that when there is something
you are unable to do alone,

all you have to do
is gather others

who are in
the same situation as you.

Yeah, but even a guy like me

who's a useless,
insignificant loser?

Indeed.

Although, I honestly
quite like the useless,

insignificant loser
that you happen to be.

Sorry.

[WILHELM]
Perhaps I spoke too much.

That said,

there is one thing
I always think

whenever I speak with you.

Huh.

And that one thing is,

"Why can I not speak this way
with my grandson?"

I would give anything
to be able to.

How come you and Reinhard

don't get along
with each other?

You two are family, right?

[grunts]

I have only
three regrets in my life.

Three regrets that I have
absolutely no excuses for.



[WILHELM]
And one of them...

is causing the enormous rift
between my grandson and I.



My actions back then

were irredeemably
and unforgivably foolish.

[WILHELM] I had turned my eyes
from that regret

in the name of seeking
revenge for my wife.

And now that I have
successfully avenged her,

I want nothing more
than to close the rift

between the two of us
that I created.

I see,
but you lack the courage.

And I could not be
more ashamed.

[leaves rustling]
[wind whooshing]

[SUBARU]
Reinhard told me

he wanted to hear the details

about the fight
with the White Whale.

I don't know if the White Whale
has anything to do

with the awkwardness
between you two,

but what I am certain of

is that Reinhard knows
you spent over ten years

trying to avenge his grandma.

[SUBARU]
And he wants to hear about it.

In fact...

I'm sure more than anything

he's looking forward
to hearing it from you.



[WILHELM]
To be honest.

I am simply
no match for you, Subaru.

[birds chirping]

[water burbling]

[SUBARU] One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

Now, raise both arms, and...

-Victory!
-Victory!

You seem to be
in a particularly

good mood this morning, Subaru.

Something happened before
I went to bed last night.

Something good?
Then, I'm glad.

[EMILIA] After all
you seemed worried yesterday.

Hmm.

Well, unlike Subaru,

he appears to be
in a terrible state.

[SUBARU]
Hm?

[groaning]

Looks like
Otto's got a hangover.

I sure do.

Like I said,
I came all this way,

so I saw
lots of people last night

and re-established connec...

[SUBARU]
Watch it!

Anyway, I haven't seen
Garfiel around lately.

Hm?

Yeah, that makes sense.

[SUBARU] He's in kind of
a sensitive state right now.

So, if you see him
be nice to him.

[gags]

Now, that you're back, Otto,

do you have
any plans for today?

Unless I'm mistaken,

pretty sure we were gonna
take Liliana hostage

and exchange her
for the magic crystal, right?

[OTTO] The first part
of the plan is making sure

that you're staying behind
this time, Natsuki.

[door opens]

[FELT]
Hey, you're all here.

You guys are up real early
this morning, aren't ya?

[FELT]
Huh?

This guy in green
wasn't around here yesterday,

was he?

He's our problem solver.

So, he's more or less
what Dumber is

for you guys, you know?

I just realized something.

Why isn't Reinhard with you
right now, Felt?

He's not my babysitter.

If he were here all the time
I would go nuts!

And besides, I don't exactly
like to admit it, but...

[FELT]
If I call for him.

I know for a fact
he'll be here immediately.

Did you call for me, Lady Felt?

No, now go away!

And a good morning
to you, Lady Emilia.

You, too, Subaru.

A nice morning, huh?

[giggles]

The two of you
get along so well.

It's very charming.

For real.

You two couldn't be
more perfect for each other.

[grunts]

[FELT] Why would you say
something so disgusting?

I hate him!

[chuckles softly]

[door slides open]

[ANASTASIA]
Morning, everyone.

It's so good to see
that you've already

made yourselves
comfortable at the inn!

[JULIUS]
Lady Anastasia.

The morning sun
compliments your beauty.

[Anastasia giggles]

[ANASTASIA]
It's the ace up my sleeve.

Wait,

Ricardo and Mimi
were with you, weren't they?

Ricardo has not returned.

As far as Mimi's whereabouts.

I believe she is accompanying
Garfiel around town.

[JOSHUA] Upon learning that
she hadn't returned

to the inn last night,

Hetaro and Tivey
ran into town in a panic.

Hetaro does tend to lose
sight of everything else

whenever it comes to Mimi.

[ANASTASIA]
But if Tivey's with him,

-he'll be fine.
-[Joshua sighs]

[ANASTASIA]
Oh, there is somethin'

I'd like to ask of you, Joshua.

Of course, what is it, My Lady?

[ANASTASIA]
If you don't mind,

I'd like you
to deliver a letter

to the main gate
in Tivey and Hetaro's place.

And this letter

is an extremely important one.

Hold on, is it about Gluttony?

[SUBARU]
Please, Joshua!

You're my only hope now!

What makes you think
I owe you any favors?

Huh!

[CRUSCH]
Sorry for the delay.

It took longer than we thought
but we've arrived.

Looks like everybody
who's coming is finally here.

[ANASTASIA]
Okay, start bringing it in!

[claps]



[thudding]

Is this what I think it is?

For today's breakfast

we're having a traditional
Kararagi favorite!

[ANASTASIA]
Daisukiyaki!

Wait a sec is this supposed
to be okonomiyaki?!

[sizzling]

[sizzles]

Did you see that, Subaru?
I managed to flip it perfectly!

You can eat this one,
I'm proud of it!

[BEATRICE] It looks
fairly decent, I suppose.

Though if you want
a proper daisukiyaki,

Subaru, I'm willing to give you

the chance to eat
the one I've cooked for you.

I'm no expert at this.

[OTTO]
But that's way too much sauce!

And you, Emilia!

[OTTO] Yours isn't even
cooked all the way!

Just a little suggestion.

[SUBARU]
Try tasting it

before offering it
to someone else.

[chomps]

Next one's ready
whenever you are, Felt.

Oh, good.
Just keep them coming.

I can eat as many
as you can make!

[sizzling]

[grunts]

[sizzling]

[Wilhelm grunts]

I think I just saw
something I wasn't meant to.

[KIRITAKA]
Good morning,

law-abiding citizens
of Priestella.

It's a fine day, isn't it?

Huh?
What am I hearing?

[ANASTASIA] It's a broadcast
that happens every morning.

They make it using a metia

at the city government
building.

A broadcast?
With metia?

[KIRITAKA]...on my windowsill
under the morning...

And this happens
every day here?

What's the purpose of it?

I've heard it's there
in case of an emergency.

Because of the way
this city was first built,

evacuation routes are few
and far between.

[FELIX]
Huh, Interesting.

By the way,

in case it wasn't
obvious to you.

It was Kiritaka who came up
with the broadcast idea.

Yeah, I think
I can believe that.

[LILIANA] Hi, there, everyone!
Liliana here!

I hope all of you are ready,

because I intend
to sing my heart out

for you this morning!

[LILIANA]
So, just sit back, relax,

and let the music
wash over you.

And don't forget
to cheer me on!

Without further ado,
here's my song.

'The Sword Demon's
Love Song, Act II!'

[SUBARU]
That's...

[Liliana singing
in foreign language]



[Liliana singing
in foreign language]

Reinhard, if you don't mind.

[Reinhard grunts]

Well, you see...
I uh...

Is there something
you want to tell me?

[WILHELM] It's just.
I can't seem to cook these.

If it's not too much trouble
could you teach me how?

Uh!

Yes, I would love to,
grandfather.

[sizzling]

[door slides open]

[HEINKEL]
Now, that's hardly fair.

The timing's
a little too convenient,

wouldn't you say?

Hmm.

[HEINKEL]
Good to see you, Dad.

Hmm.



Do you wanna tell us
who you are?

[HEINKEL]
Eh?

I gotta say
I'm not liking the nasty look

that you're sending
my way right now, kid.

[gulps]

[exhales]

Hey!

I don't care
which one of you does it.

But teach the kid some manners

and butcher him.

[JULIUS]
If I may, sir.

At the moment, both Reinhard
and I are off duty.

We're here to
fulfill another objective.

No one has the right
to give us orders.

And that applies
to you as well,

even as a Vice Captain.

Ooh, I'm shivering in my boots.

C'mon, I was only
kidding around.

Don't get defensive.

I may be vice-captain
in name only

but I still have
a grasp on the rules.

[HEINKEL]
I know a thing or two.

The Vice Captain
in name only, huh?

[HEINKEL] That's right.
I'm just decorative.

The one and only
hated Vice-Captain

of Lugunica's Royal Guard,

the good-for-nothing

Vice-Captain Heinkel
at your service.

I feel like someone who's known
as good for nothing

shouldn't be getting defiant.

Try to stay calm, Subaru.

You cannot allow this man's
words to provoke you.

[chuckles]
Sharp as ever.

Still playing
the mediator I see.

That is enough!

That's enough, Heinkel!

Heard you the first time
you screamed it.

I'm not so old that
I'm hard of hearing just yet.

Anyway, what's with
the nasty look, huh, kid?

[HEINKEL] I wanted to say
a few words at the celebration

of the White Whale's defeat,
too.

[Heinkel chuckles]

Need me to repeat myself, Dad?

I heard you.

I wish I hadn't.

Oh, and, Reinhard!

[HEINKEL]
Same goes for you!

If I'm not mistaken

my old man took a huge weight
off your shoulders.

[gasps]

After all...

he took the time to avenge

the previous Master Swordsman
after you k*lled her.

[WILHELM]
Please, stop this, Heinkel!

That's enough.

Just how far do you...

Do you plan on...

Unfortunately lip service won't
do you much good, old man.

You, of all people,

are in no position
to criticize me.

[HEINKEL]
Because you were the first one

to rebuke Reinhard

for k*lling the previous
Master Swordsman, weren't you?

[groans]

Ha!

You're not gonna say
anything for yourself, geezer?

[HEINKEL]
Groaning on your knees

isn't enough to reconcile
for what you've done.

[HEINKEL]
And Theresia van Astrea

won't let you off that easy.

So this is Heinkel van Astrea.

Don't add the "van," you brat!

I never received that title,

so I'm only Heinkel Astrea.

[EMILIA]
And?

What business do you have
with all of us?

Emilia?

Didn't know
I was in the presence

of the Princess Emilia!

The same half-demon princess
who was flung into a battle

she had no chance of winning!

[EMILIA]
You can express your feelings

about me all you want

but that isn't
what you came here to do.

So, why don't you
do us all a favor

and tell us why you really
came here today.

[gasps]

You're more brazen than
the rumors said you were.

[EMILIA]
Answer me.

[groans]

For someone who came in here
with so much confidence,

I gotta say you look
pretty sheepish right now.

That's a real shame
'cause I was lookin' forward

to gettin' to hear
some exciting stories.

I have no desire to hear

this boorish man
speak any longer.

[JULIUS] Do you feel better now
after that, Vice-Captain?

If you have
no other business here,

I believe it would be
best for all of us

if you left on your own accord.

[footsteps approaching]

[PRISCILLA] I'm afraid there's
no need for that, peasant.

It took you long enough!

[HEINKEL]
I was beginning to think

you'd never show up,
Lady Priscilla.

Silence, fool.

[PRISCILLA] I haven't seen
this lineup in a while.

It seems like you're all
getting along swimmingly.

Priscilla?

So, then, you're the one
who brought him here,

aren't you?



[PRISCILLA]
Am I supposed to know you?

What, you don't remember me?

[AL]
C'mon, Princess.

That's a little mean,
don't you think?

Remember the guy

who humiliated
himself in public

when you presented yourself
at the castle?

Well, that's him.

[AL]
You were laughing your head off

about it, remember?

I don't recall.

And I find it hard to believe
I would ever do something

as improper
as "laughing my head off."

[PRISCILLA] Spreading rumors
is an ugly habit, Al.

[AL] Sorry,
but she doesn't remember you.

I did what I could.

[SUBARU]
Seriously?

You could have
worked on taming her

a little more
over the past year!

[AL] Guess you'll just have to
raise your standing

with her from scratch.

Anyway,
you answering my question?

You just want to know

if I was the one who brought
this peasant here, right?

[PRISCILLA] If that's all
you're asking about,

then yes, I did.

I'll have you know
that I summoned him myself

and brought him here.

But what for?

You wanna know why?

Simply because it seemed like

it would be
an amusing thing to do.

[PRISCILLA]
Warped familial relations

and this oaf clumsily
trying to bring them together.

I couldn't sit back

and let such
an unsightly performance

play out now, could I?

So I went ahead
and rewrote the script.

Quite the spectacle, no?

Priscilla!

[AL]
Take it easy there.

Neither of us will gain
anything from duking it out.

Like I give a damn!

All I gathered
from what you said is

that it doesn't matter to you
how many times I suffer!

Subaru.

[whimpering]

Uh?

Hmm.

I'm quite certain
that you're the only one

I didn't inform
about today's proceedings.

That doesn't matter.

After all once something
finds its way

into someone's ear,

you can't stop it from
soaking in like a teardrop.

Basically, Reinhard's dad
is just a drunk old guy, huh?

Look at that.

A little girl from the slums

has deluded herself
into thinking

that she has an opinion
to share with me.

I like to think I do have
some stake in all this.

Because the reality is

the Astrea family estate
isn't going to Reinhard.

[FELT] Meaning
whether we like it or not,

that drunk old guy
holds our future in his hands.

Guess your brain finally
caught up to that fact.

But you're exactly right.

[HEINKEL] The heir
to the Astrea estate is me.

Not once did I ever consider

giving it to Reinhard,

nor do I ever intend to.

Hmm.

Yes, Lady Felt?
What's wrong?

Ignore him.

Say nothing

and just sit there
looking proud.

Will do.

Gotta say,
all things considered

your sense of impending danger
is right on the money,

Reinhard's little mistress.

[HEINKEL] The Astrea family
belongs to me

and I'm not gonna back you.

The one I'm backing is--

[PRISCILLA]
Now, now, peasant.

Really?
What now, Lady Priscilla?

Can't you see
I'm in the middle of a con--

[PRISCILLA]
Shut up.

[bottle clatters]

[thuds]

[clanging]

[AL] That's enough
temper tantrums, princess.

[thuds]

[AL]
Seriously, give me a break.

You pulling out
the Yang Sword

nearly gave me a heart atta...

[Al groans]

[claps]
Get this peasant

out of here
and see that he's tended to.

I trust you're able
to handle that, Schult.

Understood,
I'll take care of it.

[SCHULT] Excuse me, Heinkel,
but it's time to go.

[AL] Schult is always
so brave, isn't he?

So is what that old man
said back there

actually the truth?

You're gonna run us out
and go back to the domain lord?

And if that were to be the case
what would you do about it?

Accept it with teary eyes
and back down quietly?

Ha! Yeah, right,
don't make me laugh.

No matter
what anybody else says,

I'm not accepting
anything with teary eyes.

And I'm gonna do
whatever it takes,

to make that old man
concede the estate.

That's fine by me.

Regardless of what
you choose to do

my victory's inevitable.

That being said
it couldn't hurt

to have some fun
and chaos on the way there.

[PRISCILLA]
So, go on entertain me!

After all that's what

you minor characters
are here for.

Aren't you arrogant?

I'll make you regret
ever saying that!

[chuckle softly]

[thuds]

[SUBARU]
Damn it! Just cool down!

I was the only one

that was losing
my temper in there!

[JULIUS] There's no need
to take it out on the floor.

And it certainly doesn't help
the inn's owners.

I let myself get worked up
by what was happening

while everyone else was calm.

[SUBARU]
I'm such a loser.

That's where you're wrong.

The rash behavior
you had displayed,

it prompted everyone else

to maintain
a level head in return.

Sometimes, your imprudence
turns out to be useful.

Come on, at least make it sound

like you're giving me
a compliment.

[JULIUS] If it were
a knightly attitude I desired,

then I would be
unable to praise your actions.

[JULIUS]
But...

Now, what are you trying to do?

Just what it looks like.

I'm giving my thanks.

For what you did.

For putting forth
your righteous indignation

on display in my stead.

You're thanking me
for getting pissed for you?

You're kidding, right?

And what makes you think I
was mad for your sake, anyway?

I only got upset

because they were
pissing me off!

[SUBARU] If you were mad
about what was happening

you should've
let loose on them!

[JULIUS]
I could never treat a superior

with such insolence.

Even him.

Man, you're always
such a stiff, you know that?

You're so busy
worrying about being knightly,

that you've gone and covered
your whole heart in armor.

I've "covered
my heart in armor." Huh?!

[chuckles]

I cannot deny how true that is.

About that big scruffy guy.

You don't think he's planning
on abusing his position

as the Master Swordsman's
father, do you?

[JULIUS]
I cannot rule that out.

That being said,

the primary reason lies
not with the vice-captain,

but with Reinhard.

Or perhaps I should say
the Astrea family.

After all,

the fact is he's Wilhelm's son

and the current head
of the family.

[JULIUS] What would happen
if he were treated poorly

and became rebellious
towards the kingdom?

You're saying
if Heinkel decided to go

up against the kingdom,

they would consider his
whole household their enemy?

But if that's the case

it would mean
the entire kingdom

has absolutely no faith
in either Reinhard

or Wilhelm for that matter.

[JULIUS]
Fifteen years ago,

one of the members
of the royal family

had been taken
against their will.

So?
What's your point?

[JULIUS]
At the time,

Wilhelm was captain
of the Royal Guard,

and so he was responsible
for conducting the search

for the missing family member.

[JULIUS]
Unfortunately...

the battle fought by
the previous Master Swordsman

against the White Whale

happened while Wilhelm was away
from the capital on his search.

[SUBARU]
So, he missed his wife's death

because of that kidnapping?

[SUBARU]
And that's why he carries

such a strong grudge now?

Why don't they understand
he's not that kind of guy?

[SUBARU] What's it gonna take
to get through to them?

Apologies.

I really should've known better
than to tell you all this

when you were
unprepared to hear it.

Look, I understand

you're worried about
Reinhard's well-being and all.

So, it makes sense
you'd get upset.

Nobody would find it
uncalled for.

[SUBARU]
Remember what I said?

You don't have to be

the perfect knight
all the time.

It'll only end up
doing more harm than good.

[gasps]

[SUBARU]
Doesn't it sound nice

to ditch the armor and just
be Juli sometimes?

Who knows?

Some things might
even work out better

if you have
that kind of flexibility.

Juli, huh?

[chuckles softly]

[wind whooshing]

[JULIUS]
That's a name I haven't heard

in a very long time.

So then,
this is how the sky looks,

and how the wind feels,

when I am only being Juli.

Huh?

Now that I think about it,

the color of the sky looked
different back then.

Huh!

That sounds like nonsense.

Quit trying to act all cool.

[thuds]

[indistinct chatter]

[EMILIA]
Subaru.

It seems like you and Julius
were having

a nice chat
in the garden earlier,

what was it about?

If that's how you saw it,
then you're super wrong.

But I'm curious
what you think it was about.

Hmm.

Maybe, where you'll go
to have fun next time?

[SUBARU]
What are we, school buddies?

We were both just looking
out for enemies, that's all.

And maybe a little bit
of small talk

when things got quiet.

I feel like that makes
you two friends.

If there's one thing
that I know.

It's that he and I
aren't friends.

-You're so stubborn.
-No kidding, I suppose.

[EMILIA]
Look at that!

There's a rather
large crowd forming up ahead.

[BEATRICE]
It appears so.

I have to say
it looks much livelier

than it did yesterday,
I suppose.



Huh?

[crowd cheering]

[SUBARU]
Priscilla?

Your dancing was phenomenal!

I thought my eyes were gonna
pop outta their sockets

from witnessing
your extraordinary footwork!

I appreciate both
your kind words and your song

that managed to entertain me.

[PRISCILLA]
I can't remember

the last time
I had this much fun

at a bard's performance.

Well done.

Am I seeing things?

Or is that Subaru and Emilia
just over there!

[LILIANA]
Oh, and the little girl, too!

[chuckles]

[water splashing]

[SUBARU]
Yesterday was hectic,

so we couldn't
make any arrangements,

but it's nice seeing you
here again today.

[PRISCILLA]
Do you need something?

Why are you staring
at me like that?

It's incredibly rude.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's just

I was so surprised to
see you dancing, Priscilla.

I'm not really one to dance,
not unless I feel compelled to.

And today, I felt just that

when I stumbled upon

this performer's
beautiful playing.

Seriously?

Are you telling me
you're a Liliana fangirl, too?

[Liliana chuckles]

I can't believe
you really think

my singing is that amazing!

Now, you've got me
blushing over here!

Your singing was indeed
worthy of my praise.

If you're interested
I'd be more than happy

to have you serve
as my personal songstress.

[LILIANA] Thank you so much
for that amazing offer!

I'm so honored by that

I can feel myself
bursting with pride, but...

-[LILIANA] But!
-Hm?

I'm afraid I must decline.

Can you please explain

why you chose
to decline my invitation?

'Cause I am Liliana,
Liliana the bard,

a nomad who's destined
to be carried away

by the wind again someday.

No person or thing
can hold me in place.

I made up my mind long ago

that that's the way
I want to live.

[PRISCILLA]
Interesting.

You're saying
that's why you won't accept?

[LILIANA]
My mother, her mother,

and her mother before her

all lived
that same kind of lifestyle.

We are a clan
with no physical traces,

we leave behind only our song
in people's hearts.

[LILIANA] Just as no one
can imprison the wind,

there isn't anybody

who can stop my singing.



Uh, Prisci...

Well, that's an answer
I think I can live with.

Forgive me it was a boorish
question to ask of you.

It was a perfectly
fine question!

If anything, I should be
the one apologizing to you!

[PRISCILLA]
What is it now, peasant?

Huh?

I'm just shocked is all.

The second she turned you down
I thought for sure

you were going to cut
Liliana in half

for daring to disrespect you.

I was also a little
surprised by that.

I had always thought
you were someone

who would do anything
to get what she wanted

and it didn't really matter
what stood in your way.

Don't forget everything
in this world belongs to me.

[PRISCILLA]
Meaning, there's no need

for me to keep all beautiful,
noble, and worthy things

directly at my side

in order
to fully appreciate them.

If this entire
world is truly my garden,

then it doesn't matter
where the bird chooses to sing.

It is mine all the same.

[ALL]
Uh...

Alrighty, then!

With that said.

Now that it looks like
everyone has calmed down,

it's the perfect time
to perform a song

in commemoration
of our friendship!

[LILIANA] And after the song,
we'll have a nice chat!

I don't know about you, Subaru,

but I feel like
you should grab some snacks

for us to enjoy while
we're doing that, don't you?

And after,
we'll have a nice chat!

[LILIANA]
I don't know about you

but I feel like
you should grab some snacks

for us to enjoy, don't you?

What is this?

A choose-your-own-adventure,

where I can't move on
until I say yes?

[SUBARU]
How am I supposed to say no

in a situation like that?

[SUBARU]
Oh, sorry.

[RACHINS]
Oh, gimme a break.

You call that pitiful
response an apology?

Where's the sincerity
in your...

-[gasps] -Oh, it's you.
What's up, Dumber?

You know that isn't my name!

What the hell are you
doin' here, anyway, huh?

Hey, no need
to be so cold, man.

You remember our game
of life and death, don't ya?

I don't remember that!
And stop getting closer!

Come on, just hear me out.

-See, the thing is--
-[RACHINS] Quit it!

You're really starting to
creep me out, you know that?

[SIRIUS]
Those enjoying a pleasant chat,

as well as those in a hurry!

The hell?

[SIRIUS] I apologize
for interrupting your day.

But I ask that you please

bestow your attention upon me
for but a brief moment.

Thank you for understanding.

I am the Sin Archbishop

in the Witch's Cult
representing Wrath.

But you are welcome to call me
Sirius Romanee-Conti.

[gasps]

Eh, huh?

Did I hear that right?

She didn't just say
the Witch's Cult did she?

Hey, did you hear that?

Yeah, and if this is a joke,
it's not a very good one.

[claps]

[SIRIUS]
There we go!

It took about 30 seconds

for all of you
to become completely silent.

I apologize, but thank you
for your cooperation!

Your small act of selflessness
brings me joy!

And also...

you two over there, and you,

and you two young men
right there.

[SIRIUS] I'm sorry,
please don't be angry with me!

I apologize from
the very bottom of my heart

for taking so much
of your precious time!

Thank you all
for listening to me

and I truly appreciate it!

Thank you so very much.

It would appear
that you've finally

calmed down
sufficiently enough.

I feel your misgivings.

[SIRIUS]
But please know

that the only reason
I'm borrowing your time today

is because there's something
I must be certain of!

"Be certain of?"
What the...

I'm sorry.
Do not buzz with anxiety.

If anything is wrong,
please do tell me!

You should know I would say
just about anything

to please each
and every one of you!

Okay, then can I take you up

on that offer
and ask a question?

Oh, please do.

I'll happily answer, thank you!

Well, I don't know
what it is you're after,

but I'm keeping a girl waiting.

Four of 'em, actually.

So, what I'm wondering is

do you think you can do
whatever it is

you're gonna do here
and let us go?

Oh, dear!
What a pickle! I'm so sorry!

Oh, what a smooth operator
you are, young man!

Keeping four girls waiting
is no small feat,

you naughty boy.

[SIRIUS] Still, thank you.
I'm sorry. I must hurry.

Nah, don't worry about it!

I'd actually appreciate it
if you'd just keep calm

and say what you want to say.

Sorry to cause you concern!
Thank you, sir!

Now.
Where was I?

Ah, yes, the reason I appeared
before you all like this!

[scoffs]

You mentioned earlier

there's something you want
to make certain of, right?

So then, what is it
that you wanna know?

That's right we're all
looking forward to hearing it!

[MAN 01] If you're gonna talk
then hurry up

or we're gonna be
late for work!

[crowd laughs]

[SIRIUS] I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm so, so sorry!

I'll finish
what I'm saying right away!

You see,

the thing I want
to make certain of,

what I want to know,

is a matter of love.

Nothing more.

[SIRIUS]
Oh, I'm so embarrassed!

[all laugh]

Could I trouble you
to accompany me

as I confirm
this matter of romance?

-Sure thing!
-[MAN 02] Go for it!

-[MAN 03] Of course!
-Mm-hm.

Do you really mean it?

Thank you so very much
and I'm so sorry!

The world truly
is a gentle place!

One that's brimming
with kindness and love!

Every time I feel that,

it makes me want to
display my gratitude!

We yield to each other,
and also forgive each other.

[SIRIUS]
That's why I always say

"thank you"
and "I'm sorry" together.

[SIRIUS]
Always together.

[chain clangs]

[chain jingling]

[SIRIUS]
Now, come on up here.

Sorry I kept you
waiting so long!

Please forgive me.

[muffled whimpering]

[SIRIUS]
I'm sorry it's so tight,

but you're a boy and it's not
manly to cry so much.

[SIRIUS] I know
I should keep it a secret,

but you've even wet yourself.

How embarrassing is it
for people to know that?

Oh, yeah!
It's embarrassing, all right!

C'mon, toughen up, kid!
That's enough crying!

Hey, there are only three times
in a boy's life

when he's allowed
to cry, you know?

[all laughing]

While it's true that this boy
is cowering in fear right now,

I'll have you know that
he is actually quite brave!

This brazen young
man's name is Lusbel Kallard.

He's like any other
nine year old boy,

and he grew up
right here in Priestella.

What a promising future
you have ahead of you!

[SIRIUS]
You see,

Lusbel here has
a close friend of his.

A little girl named Tina

with just the cutest
blonde curls.

They have
the perfect relationship,

in which they care
for each other very deeply.

I hope you can see
why I had trouble

deciding which one of them
I wanted to bring here.

At first
I went with my instincts

and thought I'd bring
Tina here with me,

but Lusbel desperately
begged me not to,

and it touched my heart,

in a way I didn't even
know was possible!

So, in recognition
of Lusbel's determination,

I decided to have him assist me
with things today!

[muffled whimpering]

Hey, don't cry, Lusbel
you're too brave to do that!

You already showed her
you're a man,

so you gotta see it through!

[WOMAN 01] You're going to make
a fine man someday!

[MAN 04] Lusbel!
You're the pride of Priestella!

[crying]

Oh, thank you.
Thank you all so much!

Oh, this is truly magnificent!

I just knew
that you would all understand!

[SIRIUS] His determination
and sacrifice,

was done out of love for her!

[all cheering]

Yes, Sirius!
Thank you so much!

Thanks, Sirius.

[RACHINS]
Thank you so much!

Rifts only exist when
we don't know one another.

[SIRIUS]
And hostility is only born

when we don't share
with one another!

If we give up
because we're different,

bonds cannot be born.

I need to know.

Where are your hearts
right now?

-You don't gotta worry, Sirius!
-Yeah, c'mon.

We would all rather die
than give up on each other!

[indistinct chatter]

[SIRIUS]
Thank you! Thank you!

Please, tell me!

Do you all feel
you're happy in this moment?

[MAN 05]
Of course, we are!

[WOMAN 02] I've never felt
this amazing before!

[MAN 06]
Thank you, Lusbel!

[WOMAN 03]
And thank you, Sirius!

[all applauding]

[mumbling]

[LUSBEL]
H-Help me!

I commend you on your
tremendous bravery, Lusbel.

[SIRIUS]
It truly does exist!

There really is love
to be found here!

My chest is pounding
with excitement

at the thought of your hearts
coming together as one!

[SIRIUS]
Thunderous applause, please!

[whimpering]

[all applauding]

[muffled screaming]

I was right.

The world is brimming
with kindness.

[squelching]

[LILIANA] And after the song,
we'll have a nice chat!

I don't know about you Subaru

but I feel like you should
grab some snacks for us

to enjoy while
we're doing that, don't you?

Huh?

[LILIANA] Hello?
Are you still with us?

Hello?
Are you ignoring me?

Are you?
Hey!

-[LILIANA] Hello!
-[SUBARU] I feel sick.

[gasps]

[EMILIA]
Subaru? Are you all right?

Subaru,
what's going on, I suppose?

[BEATRICE]
Subaru!

[SUBARU]
I feel sick.

[breathing shakily]

[SUBARU]
I feel sick.

[breathing shakily]

[SUBARU]
I feel sick.

Theatrical Malice.
