03x02 - Emilia Party Struggles

[bunniefuu]

[whimpering]

[EMILIA]
Subaru, are you all right?

[whimpering]

Have you calmed down, yet?

Yeah, I'm fine.

[SUBARU]
Guess I just got light-headed.

-[SUBARU] Thank...
-[SIRIUS] Thank you!

[SIRIUS]
I'm sorry!

[SUBARU]
Did I...return by Death?

[LILIANA] Whew, you gave me
quite a scare, Subaru!

I may write all kinds of music

but I don't have much practice
coming up with funeral marches.

[SUBARU] [gasps]
Hang on.

This place, this conversation.

[gasps]

Did I go back
to right before that?

Then I'm gonna have to hurry!

-Beatrice!
-Huh?

Come with me...

No!

Betelgeuse went after
Emilia relentlessly.

And since Sirius
is another Sin Archbishop,

she'll also try to...

Is there something wrong?

Ah?

Bet you want something sweet,
same as me, don't ya?

-Be sure to stay with Emilia.
-Hm.

There's something you can't say
to Betty again, I suppose?

Look, I don't have the time
to go into it now

but if anything happens,
you're the first one

I'm gonna turn to.

So, uh, I feel like changing
things up and going for a run.

I'll grab some drinks
on the way back.

[sighing]

[EMILIA]
Subaru...

please remember to be careful.

Don't do anything reckless.

Yeah, of course.

So, just wait here
and trust me.

'Cause I'll always protect you.

[gasps]
Well take care, then.

Hm.

You be safe, now!

[sighs]

[SUBARU]
She's not here!

Wait, what's going on?

Did she make him
chain himself up?

Lusbel, stop!

That's enough,
put those down!

You don't need
to do this anymore!

But I...

I still have to try
and keep my promise...

...or Tina...

...she'll be...

[crying]

It's gonna be fine!

There are lots
of good people in this town

you can rely on them.

[SUBARU]
You're gonna be all right.

So...so just.

Just stop shaking!

Damn it, legs!

[panting]

[gasps]

[SUBARU] [gagging]
Lusbel!

[vomiting]

[panting]

[SIRIUS] Watching you
express such abject terror,

it proves to me
how truly kind you are.

[screaming]

[choking]

[SIRIUS]
Thank you!

I'm so sorry!

People can understand
each other.

They can be as one!

But one is not kind
just for one's own sake.

Kindness shines the brightest
when it is meant for others!

Oh, yes,
and that means it is love!

[metal clanging]

[choking]

[SIRIUS] You must feel
your love to the fullest!

All the pure and noble ways
that made you want

to save this precious
young boy's life!

[gagging]

♪

You'll feel Lusbel's fear,
experiencing it all,

right along with him.

[slurps]

[grunting]

Then as you take
on the dread he feels,

Lusbel will take it
on again through you!

[SUBARU]
Everything I see scares me.

And when the terror
you experience

becomes even greater.

[SIRIUS] You must accept every
last moment of it yet again.

[indistinct chatter]

[SIRIUS] Embracing the joy,
the sadness, and the fear,

the pure agony of being hung
by the neck.

Until death teaches you
the true meaning of love!

[SUBARU] [crying]
I'm scared. I'm scared.

[SIRIUS] It looks like
you've reached your limit.

Well, then,
I think it's time for us

to seek out Tina's
assistance next.

[choking]

[SIRIUS]
The two of you...

have done very well.

[water trickling]

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

Now, then I don't know
about you, Subaru

but I feel like you should grab
some snacks for us to enjo...

[thuds]

[grunting]

Uh, what's up?

Really, that's all
you have to say?

[EMILIA] You can't just
do that to people!

[BEATRICE]
Agreed! But, before

we even talk
about the violence,

we should advise Liliana to
lose that ugly wink, I suppose.

Wait did you think
it was really that awful?

-I'm feeling sick.
-[whimpering]

Uh, Subaru, are you all right?

Uh, yeah.

[SUBARU]
Move on!

Move on, move on!

I don't have time to waste,
I've gotta hurry!

But it's no use going alone.

And I can't leave
without a plan.

I'm gonna need some help.

Who could beat Sirius,

not be affected
by the authorities,

and can be at the square
in ten minutes?

Yeah, Reinhard!

[RACHINS]
Not a chance!

Oh, wow, look at that,
it's so pretty!

All right!

[SIRIUS] Oh, how beautiful
what a lovely light!

-[gasps]
-[SIRIUS] Thank you!

Now, I want to wish everyone
a very good morning!

No, don't look!

[SUBARU]
Hey, Rachins!

[SIRIUS]
Well, seems you all went quiet

much more quickly
than I had expected!

Which can only mean
I have the two of you

to thank for their
undivided attention!

Thank you, applause!

[hands clapping]

[grunting]

[SIRIUS] And it took
twenty-one seconds

for each one of you
to look at me.

I'm sorry,
but this is so wonderful!

Now, I believe
an introduction is in order!

I'm known as the Sin Archbishop
of the Witch's Cult

representing Wrath.

Sirius Romanee-Conti.

That is my name.

[crowd cheering]

[trembling]

Thank you so very much!

I'm sorry for taking up
your time,

but don't you
worry about it

because I can assure you
this will all be over

very, very soon.

-[REINHARD] Oh, will it?
-Huh?

[gasping]

[REINHARD] In that case,
I'll have to finish this

even sooner, then.

[water gusting]

Sorry, I arrived a little late.

It took a bit of time
to find the shortest route.

I can understand
why you called me out here.

You made the right
decision, Rachins.

Or was all this
your doing, Subaru.

Uh...

You really came!

Yup, sure did.

It looks like things
haven't been going very well.

[REINHARD]
That's a Sin Archbishop, right?

[SUBARU]
Yeah, she uh...

She can get
inside people's minds

and brainwash them.

-[REINHARD] I see.
-[gasps]

Now, wait just a moment.

[SIRIUS]
You, with the red hair.

Are you the legendary
Master Swordsman?

Yes, indeed.

And while that is how
I'm known,

sadly, I am aware that I have
not yet earned that title.

Hang on, Reinhard!

You don't wanna keep
talking to her like this!

[REINHARD] That's right,
I mustn't forget why I'm here.

I will take care of this.

Oh, what an unexpected...

[rumbling]

[SUBARU] Yeah, Reinhard,
let her have it!

My, how overwhelming!

[chains clanging]

Chains, huh?
What a pain.

[grunts]

[giggling]

[shattering]

[laughs]
Such dazzling skills!

♪

Your skills are quite
impressive, as well.

[REINHARD] If only you'd
chosen to use them for good

instead of evil.

[chuckles]

[grunts]

[SUBARU] Let's go,
we can't stay here!

But Tina will.

Getting outta this place
comes first!

[TOWNSFOLK [50 M F]]
k*ll her now!

k*ll her now!

k*ll her now! k*ll her now!

[groaning]

k*ll her now! k*ll her now!

k*ll her now!

Everyone is becoming one.

Is that not real love?

[SIRIUS] And if so, is this
not the perfect paradise

that can only be born
of such love?

Do you have any final words?

Thank you, I'm sorry,

but I only have
one warning for you.

The other Sin Archbishops are
not as quiet and tame as I am,

so if you ask them
for their last words,

you will surely suffer.

I'll try and keep that in mind.

[TOWNSFOLK [50 M F]]
k*ll her now! k*ll her now!

[SUBARU] Something's wrong,
I have to stop him from...

True understanding,
compromising,

recognizing each other,
communicating.

[SIRIUS] Becoming one
by doing these things

is the shape that real
love is meant to take!

Wait, Reinhard!

k*ll her now!

Now then, I don't know
about you, Subaru,

but I feel like you should
grab some snacks for us

all to enjoy.

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

[BEATRICE]
Oh, that hurts, Subaru!

What's the matter with you?

Why'd you suddenly
try to crush

the little girl's hand
like that?

[LILIANA]
Oh, you poor thing!

Let me try "nom, nom, nom,"
it better for you.

[BEATRICE]
No one asked you, I suppose!

[SUBARU]
That's the third time.

Even Reinhard couldn't do it.

Subaru, are you all right?

[SUBARU]
Uh, oh, yeah, it's nothing!

Well, you enjoy
her song, Emilia!

I'm sure it'll be a good one!

Thanks, I really
hope you like it!

Beako, the two of us
are gonna go shopping.

[SUBARU]
So, let's get nice and cozy.

Hey, where's this
coming from...

[gasps]

Sure.

[BEATRICE]
That's fine with me.

Bye, Emilia,
be right back, okay?

-[giggling]
-[EMILIA] All right!

[sighs]

[BEATRICE]
Would you tell me exactly

what's going on now, I suppose?

[SUBARU] The Witch's Cult
is gonna show up

in the town square
we're going to.

[BEATRICE]
Are they now.

[whimpering]

[BEATRICE] There's no reason
for you to have

that worried look on your face.

You don't need to go
through all the trouble

of convincing me
of what you've seen.

Simply letting me know
was enough.

Betty doesn't need
any more proof than that.

Beatrice, you really will be
the one who saves me.

[BEATRICE]
Of course, what did you expect?

Now, tell me everything.

All right, well...

It's the Sin Archbishop
of Wrath who's gonna show up.

[SUBARU] And her power
is something like,

the sharing of feelings
and sensations with others.

Basically, it messes
with your sense of danger.

[BEATRICE] And how does the
sharing of sensations work?

[SUBARU] If she feels pain,
you feel it exactly

the same way she does.

If her head
is "cut off" for example,

everyone watching
loses their heads, too.

[sighs]

[SUBARU]
So, what the hell can we do?

I could really use
your strength and wisdom

for this one.

Though, I still haven't
ruled out getting Reinhard

to fight along with us
as a last resort.

[BEATRICE]
That won't work, I suppose.

It won't?
Why not?

It has to do
with his physical nature.

If Reinhard and I were standing
on the same b*ttlefield,

then Betty would
be nothing more

than a cute little
girl out there.

[gasps]

To this world, at least,
he is the very definition

of the word "different."

Simply by existing,
he makes all of the mana

surrounding him blindly obey.

[BEATRICE] Rendering
spirits and magic users

unable to use their powers.

Guess I forgot about that.

So, you and I are gonna
have to handle this alone.

Subaru, it's quite possible
there's another way

to resolve this.

[SUBARU]
There is? How?

[BEATRICE] Simply put,
this is a job for Shamac.

[gasps]
Yes, it's Shamac time!

[BEATRICE]
When it's brought forth,

it separates the will
of a given spell's

chosen target
from the rest of the world.

In other words, if all those
who are within range

of the enemy's technique are
brought into Shamac at once.

Yeah, that's it!

Shamac might really
be able to fix every problem!

I don't have any idea
what makes you

trust it so much, I suppose.

[SUBARU] Hang on,
nobody badmouths Shamac!

Not even you, Beako!

[BEATRICE] Seriously,
what's making you say all this?

I don't get it.

[seagulls squawking]

[SUBARU] Anyway, if we can
nullify her technique,

that'd be a huge win,
and then...

[BEATRICE]
All that's left for us to do

is defeat her, I suppose.

[SUBARU]
I know, that's the problem.

[EMILIA] Well, then, sounds
like this is where I come in.

[gasping]

[SUBARU]
Emilia, what are you...

[EMILIA] I thought
you were acting strangely.

And I was right!

I'm quite certain he told you
to wait for us in the park.

[BEATRICE]
Bad girl, I suppose.

Please, forgive me.

I had every intention
of waiting

till Priscilla spoke with me.

That girl
wearing the red dress?

[EMILIA] She said,
"If you don't go after him,

you'll regret it."

But I fully intended to turn
back if nothing was wrong.

Then, I heard you.

The Witch's Cult
is coming here, right?

Look, Emilia I appreciate this,
but you should really--

You can tell me to leave
all you want, but I won't.

When it comes
to the Witch's Cult,

that's also my business.

Pretending you're mad
won't do any good.

I only feel bad
when I'm being scolded

if I know
I've done something wrong.

And, as far as I'm concerned,
you are the one

who's being
unreasonable right now.

You felt that I was in danger,
so you came out here

to try and keep me safe,
I know.

That said, I won't stand by
with my eyes closed

while you get hurt doing it.

When you fight, I fight.

So, if you're going
to protect somebody

then I'll do everything
I possibly can to help you.

Because, just as you
want to protect me,

I want to make sure that
you're protected, as well.

you're about to cry.

Subaru, you might as well
give up on this now.

Betty understands just
how Emilia feels, I suppose.

So, I don't even want
to convince her.

[sighs]

[SUBARU] The Witch's Cult
is coming after you for sure.

So, no matter what happens
you need to put

your own safety first.

[EMILIA]
All right, I will.

And if I do get caught, I have
faith that you'll rescue me.

Come on, Emilia, don't jinx me
like that, all right?

[gasps]

[SUBARU] Up there,
that's the Witch's Cult--

-Ul Huma!
-[rumbling]

Ah, Emilia?

I thought I should make
the first move.

-Was that wrong?
-No, good job!

[SUBARU] It was just
more than I expected.

Beako, you think that got her?

Well, it seems
that everyone here

certainly believes
it did, I suppose.

Oh, uh, I didn't do this
for any insidious reasons!

-We only wanted to--
-Hold on, Subaru!

Something isn't right,
their eyes aren't normal.

Beako, you got Shamac ready?

[BEATRICE]
It's not gonna work.

It's very unfortunate.

This is spiritual interference,
closer to a curse or hex

than a true spell.

And Shamac's useless
against it, I suppose.

[SIRIUS]
It stinks.

It stinks, it stinks!

It stinks, it stinks,
it stinks, it stinks!

I smell it, I smell it!
I smell the girl!

The foul stench

little half-devil!

Wretched, half-devil scum!

I will burn you alive
and scatter your ashes

all over my husband's grave!

She wasn't acting
anything like this before!

[SIRIUS] Like little maggots
that just keep on coming back

after I burn them.

What is it you've
got against me?

I am grieving!
Am I not even free to mourn?

How long? How long?
How long?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

It makes no sense at all.

[EMILIA]
If you're angry with me,

then I want you to tell me why.

I'm the one who attacked first,

so it's only natural
that you'd be upset.

But these other people
have nothing to do with it,

so set them all free.

Don't take that tone
when asking me for a favor!

[SIRIUS] If it's "only natural"
for me to be upset,

crawl on the ground
and beg for forgiveness!

Then I will cook
your intestines

as you scream in pain!

I guess talking
just doesn't work with you!

Well, in that case, I think
I have something that will!
