03x03 - Chomp of Love and Passion

♪

You're telling me

you're the Sin Archbishop
of Greed?

I'm telling you
I'm glad I made it in time.

This recklessness almost
reduced my bride to cinders.

I consider myself a man
of reasonable temperament,

however even
I don't have the patience

to put up with a pile
of ashes for a wife.

-The hell are you talking
about. -[REGULUS]No, no,

-I'm talking.
-[gasps]

The nerve, are you devoid
of common courtesy?

Have I or have
I not introduced myself?

You know that thing you do

when you want to build
a relationship with someone?

I've given you my name,
first I might add.

Not too bright, are we?

I'll explain it like
you're five.

Withholding your name
is an affront

to the character of the person
with whom you're speaking.

It's a violation
of my very rights!

You'd make a mockery
of my generous nature

upon our first meeting?

I'm sorry, okay?

My name is Subaru Natsuki!

♪

Much better.
Finally, some respect.

And now, I'll offer you
the same in kind,

because that's what
decent human beings do.

Honestly, that modicum
of civility makes the world

so much more tolerable.

[SIRIUS] Thank you, dear,
I'll keep that in mind.

Now how about you burn
to a crisp

and be gone from my sight!

[gasping]
[fire roaring]

[SHOPKEEPER 53-A [M]]
Thinking of trying our sowarie?

Just baked up a fresh batch
if you want them.

[groans]

[indistinct chatter]

[OTTO] Huh, maybe
I should have gone

for the baumbehm instead.

Well, too late now,

let's hope Kiritaka
likes sowarie.

[GUARD 53-A [M]] Hey,
I told you, you can't be here!

Go play somewhere else, kid!

Huh?

Play somewhere else, you say?

[giggles]

-Sure, great, why not?
-[gasps]

I couldn't agree more!

I know very well this
is no place to play around!

After all,
it's a kitchen, isn't it?

Or at least,
I'm about to make it one!

What are you--

Although, I doubt
you'll make so much

as an appetizer
for a hunger like mine,

but who cares?

I'm gonna eat you anyway!

[all screaming]

Oh, lookie, another morsel
that barely makes

for an appetizer
has come to say hello.

Who-who in the world are you?

Who are we?

We're the Sin Archbishop
of the Witch's Cult

representing Gluttony,
of course!

Lye Batenkaitos!

[fire roaring]

Emilia!

[sighs]

Really, fire?

Just where do you get off
starting a conversation

in that manner, huh?

Should I assume you were kept

in a kennel as a child?

Granted, I know
you're messed in the head,

so I do grant you some grace.

That being said.

You'll forgive me
for being a bit

out of sorts considering
you attacked someone I love.

You have that right,
of course, everyone does.

But it follows that
I now have the right

to pay you back in kind!

[SIRIUS] [chuckles]
Don't make me laugh!

Your rage doesn't hold
a candle to mine!

Mine is a precious treasure
that he gave to me!

I don't get it.

They're fighting?

Subaru!

Lusbel, can you get away
on your own?

♪

Don't worry about her,
we'll make sure she's safe.

You have to promise
to save Tina, please!

Hmm.

[SIRIUS] Filth! Filth! Filth!
Filth! Filth! Filth!

You and the infuriating
half-devil can burn

in each other's arms!

[expl*si*n]

[gasps]

[REGULUS] Will you spare me
the theatrics,

and get a grip already?

It's become exhaustingly clear

that you don't pose
the slightest threat to me.

Hey, as*h*le,
you better get your hands off

of my Emilia right now!

Shamac!

[rumbling]

[thuds]

What do you want to die, too?

-Is that it?
-Beako, now!

[BEATRICE]
Ready, I suppose!

E-M-M!

How do ya like that?

It's the fruit of all
my training with Beako!

It's an original spell
that separates us

from the physical world
for a brief moment!

[grunts]

[heart pounding]

[SUBARU]
Invisible!

Providence!

[gasps]

Hmph!

[grunts]

Subaru!

Looks like I blew my chance.

Guess I still need
to practice that one a bit.

Excuse you.

Just what were you
planning to do

if my bride got hurt by that?

Shall I explain to you

why you need to be
nice to girls?

Is that something
you failed to learn somehow?

[SUBARU] There isn't a person
in this whole damn world

I want to be nicer
to than her!

And where the hell
do you get off

calling her your bride?

Didn't you hear me?

I said I'm going
to make her my wife.

Oh, like hell you are!

Emilia's gonna be my wife!

So you better
shut your stupid mouth!

You don't say.
Emilia, is it?

What a perfect name
for such a lovely girl.

You mean you didn't even
know her name?

Then, what is it about her

that makes you suddenly
want her as your bride?

I like her face.
It's a very pretty face.

Do you need more than
that when it comes to love?

Say what?

You don't deserve to live,
I suppose.

[fire blazing]

-[gasps]
-[SUBARU] Huh, wait!

Where is Tina?

You came back!

I found you!
I found you!

I found you! I found you!
[evil laughter]

Oh, I knew some day
you'd return to me!

I feel terrible that
I didn't notice at first,

but it really is you!

I'm sorry, huh?

[SIRIUS]
Oh, how I've ached for you!

Yearned for you!

But still I've loved you
with all my heart

and at last that love
has brought you back to me!

My dearest, my most beloved.

My Petelgeuse!

Oh, for the love of,
you've gotta be kidding.

Let me guess,
you saw that little magic trick

of his earlier,
and now you're all swept up

in your feelings.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thank you, I'm sorry,

sort of in the middle
of something at the moment

if you'd be so kind.

Now, if you're done
with whatever this is,

you can be on your way.

Did you just order me
to do something?

And for the record,
you can't just decide

this man is someone
you used to love

because your heart is weepy,

that's weird and makes
you look desperate.

In a way, you could call that

a violation
of Petelgeuse's rights.

No, you're wrong!
He and I were madly in love!

After all we made eye contact
several times a day!

And when I very nervously
stole something of his,

he didn't so much as scold me!

He even forgave me
when he caught me

slurping my food

and then there was the time
I inhaled his exhaled breath!

He gave me my name
and oh, how he smiled for me!

For me!
For me!

For no one but me!

[crying]

Stop, listen,
if you care about me,

then let everyone else go!

[giggles]

I'd like nothing more
and yet, I feel

compelled to refuse!

After all you've only
just returned to me

and already you're ordering
me around?

Telling me to wait, to be
patient to deny myself?

You come bearing a spirit girl

I've never seen before,
yet tell me to stay my hand?

You'll burn for that!

I know that filthy half-devil
is the one you're really after!

Don't even try to deny it!

Well, if you love her so much,

why don't I burn her
in front of you!

You're not even making
any sense at this point.

Listen, before we get
a third unhinged monologue,

can I say something?

[bell tolling]

[REGULUS] Never mind,
the bell said it for me.

[bell tolling]

Recess is over.

Consider yourself lucky

that I'm choosing to uphold
the Gospel today.

Hang on!
Where are you taking Emilia?

Right, what to do with you.

I suppose it would be sad

if our wedding
was lacking for groomsmen

and considering you seem
to have some kind of

untoward obsession
with my soon-to-be wife,

inviting you is really
the least I can do.

You're welcome.

[shot fire]

[gasps]

[hard breaths]

Subaru!

I want you to know
the way you treated me earlier

was extremely rude,

but I guess
we can call this even.

[shuddering]

Emilia!

Subaru, Subaru!

[gasps]

[groans]

This isn't funny, I suppose.

[SIRIUS]
I'm sorry, honey,

but it was never meant
to be a joke.

To steal a turn of phrase

from my dearly beloved
Petelgeuse,

life's deepest truths
are found in pain,

for what is life,

but the very
substantiation of love!

[clapping]

I'll leave my darling
in your care for now.

Alas, I must obey the Gospel.
You understand.

I'm sorry
but I'll see you again soon!

Yes, I'll see you
all again, very soon.

Subaru, I couldn't help
you save Emilia, I suppose!

I'm so sorry.

You know Milady's gonna
be pretty mad

that we didn't come home
yesterday.

Yeah, well, it's not like

I asked you to tag along,
now, did I?

It's okay! I'm not
really worried about it.

So, what are we doing?
Gonna go visit your mom?

I can't just go
knock on her door!

Why not?

Because what would I even say?

You'll have to forgive me.

You see I wasn't expecting

I haven't tidied up!

Oh!
That's okay!

this place is super clean!

Excuse me,

Huh, oh, I'm sorry.

Hey, that's good!

Uh, I'm so glad!

It's quite strange, you know.

Normally, I would ask

what sort of tea
my guests prefer,

but today,
it's as if I already knew.

Funny, right?

Mother, it's supper time.

Don't you think
it's about time

our guests went home,
so we can eat?

Rafiel.

Hey, don't worry about it.

Looks like we outstayed
our welcome, Mimi,

time to get outta here.

Aw, how come?

You really gonna ask me
in front of them?

Let's just say
it's what they call

a "rough-hewn cochran."

Please don't go,
Gorgeous Tiger.

Sorry, little man,

but I got a buddy
to get back to.

[REALA]
Now, now, Fred,

you mustn't try to force
our guest to stay,

Here they say every guest
deserves two things

hospitality, and a sowarie.

Let's go, Garf.

I'm home!

What's this?
We have guests?

Father, it's Gorgeous Tiger!

What a weird name.

It's all good,
we were just leaving.

Thanks again for the tea,
see ya later.

-Gorgeous Tiger!

Does your tummy hurt?

Nah, it's,

Excuse me!

Just a moment!

Oh, hey, you're that
kid's pops, right?

You got some business with us?

Indeed!
My wife just told me

how the two of you
saved our son earlier today!

Oh, that? Don't sweat it,
it's no big deal.

Be that as it may,
you have my gratitude.

If there's anything at all
I can do to repay you.

There is one thing,

ya mind
if I ask you something?

Yes, of course, by all means!

If it's within my power
to answer it, I will!

[GARFIEL]
It's about your wife.

Is "Reala" her real name
or is it something else?

I'm afraid I must ask you
to explain yourself.

[GARFIEL]
Not sure how else to say it.

"Reid always faces
every foe head-on,"

ya know what I mean?

Whatever.

Your wife's name's actually
Rishia, isn't it?

[gasps]

Where'd you hear that?

What exactly do you think

you know about my wife,
young man?

Not that much...

but I'm hopping' maybe
you can fill in the blanks.

I see. Well, I suppose
there's no use keeping secrets,

if it helps, I'll tell you
as much as I can.

The truth is,
when I first met Reala,

about 15 years ago,
she had lost her memory.

[gasps]
She lost her memory?

It happened on a dark
and stormy night.

I was on my way home
from a business meeting,

when I happened upon
the site of a great rockslide.

And that's when I saw her,
my wife buried under the rocks.

[gasps]

[REALA] Now, sweetie,
your mommy has to go away

for just a little while.

When I return
I'll be bringing your father

back with me.

I promise you,
wait till then, okay.

[GAREK]
As a result of the accident,

she was unable
to remember anything.

The only clue I found
was a name tag,

but it was badly damaged

I could only make out
a single letter.

I took a chance
and called her "Reala"

after the night-blooming
flower of the same name.

I suppose she liked it
because it stuck.

And not long after that,
the two of you got married?

I've done my best
to take good care of her.

She is my wife, after all.

I love her very much.

[inhales]

♪

I am very reluctant
to ask this,

but I simply must know.

What is your relationship
to Reala?

What is the relationship
between you and my wife?

[GARFIEL]
I was just curious.

There's nothing between us.

We don't know
each other at all,

and never did.

Hmm.

[GAREK]
I am sorry forgive me.

[REALA]
There you are!

Oh, thank goodness!

Mimi, Gorgeous,
I'm glad I caught you.

Reala, what are you doing here?

I couldn't let you go

without a little
something to eat,

so I packed you some
homemade sowarie for the road.

Oh, snack food, yippee!

We really oughta be
heading back now,

so Gorgeous Tiger

hereby bid you good night!

You know you can cry.

[GARFIEL]
Huh?

Back up what the hell
you going on about?

I am not about to cry!

You don't need to put
on a tough act with me.

I already know
you're strong, Garf.

That lady Reala,
she's your mom, isn't she?

[gasps]

That makes sense.

You and she
smell an awful lot alike,

so I figured

there was a pretty
good chance!

[GARFIEL] What the hell,
don't ask me that.

♪

Honestly, what's the point
in even wondering,

what difference does it make?

If she's actually my mom or...

And what good would
introducing myself

to her even benefit?

[MIMI]
There, there, Garf.

[gasps]
What the hell you doing?

I figured the reason
you didn't want to cry

was because you weren't
in the right place for it!

And knowing you,

that place is in the bosom
of a woman!

A man is allowed
to let his guard down

around the woman he loves!

That's what Milady says!

And what makes you think
I'd ever fall in love

with a shrimp like you, huh?

Well, why not?

Anyway, even if you're not,

Yup!
Mimi loves Garf very much!

Glad to see my handsome face

left an impression on ya!

You gave us quite
the scare, brother,

thought we lost ya
for a second.

Wait, where am I?

Where's Emilia and Beatrice?

[AL] Can't speak for the lady,
haven't seen her.

But if Beatrice
is your little partner,

she's sound asleep over there.

Beako!

Thank goodness you're okay!

-I was worried you...
-Meow.

[screams]

Mew shouldn't be
running around.

That wound of yours demands

total bed rest
if you don't want to bleed out.

Felix?

[AL] You were pretty messed up
when I found you.

Not gonna lie, brother,
it freaked me out.

[FELIX] Your leg was literally
hanging on by a thread

when he got you back here.

Beatrice was up all night
reconnecting everything.

And then, I healed you up.

[SUBARU]
She's okay, right?

She's just sleeping?

It's kind of like
a suspended animation.

Her body shut down

because she pushed
her mana to its limits.

She must've gone all out.

[AL]
By the way, that pipsqueak

was real brave leading me
back to you.

Whole square
was a sea of blood

when I got there.

It's Lusbel.

[AL]
And not just your blood.

The place was full of folks
with the same kinda injuries.

That little girl's
the only reason

any of them
are alive right now.

She's really something.

You think Beatrice
is gonna be all right, Felix?

Well, her condition isn't one

you can solve by sleeping.

She's out cold because
she's used up all her mana,

if we can supplement
it some-meow,

she'll wake back up.

Damn it!

We're wasting time
sitting around here!

-Meow!

you're gonna accomplish,

racing over there alone?

You'd be throwing
your life away,

do you think Emilia
wants that?

I'm just impatient.

Anyway, I haven't thanked you
for healing my leg yet.

gonna say I fixed you up

just so you could thank me,

but a little gratitude
is nice once in a while.

You're amazing, thanks again.

Aww, it was nothing.

You too, Al, I owe ya.

♪

[SUBARU] So this is the Witch's
Cult Response Headquarters,

huh? But isn't this
the Muse Company?

-Why is he involved?
-Its owner, Mr. Kiritaka,

is one
of Priestella's Council of Ten.

That means he's one of the ten

most important people
in the entire city.

Wait, the Songstress guy?
Seriously?

Mr. Kiritaka is very
well connected.

If he wasn't already busy

with the evacuation order,
he would be here.

All right, so what's
the situation right now?

[CRUSCH] Hang on, first
I have a question for you.

The individual that
attacked you in the square,

are you absolutely
certain this person

was a Sin Archbishop?

The person
who messed up my leg

the same person
who took Emilia,

yeah, there is
a Sin Archbishop, all right.

If that is the case,

then as much
as I hate to say it,

we should assume the broadcast

we heard was genuine, too.

Broadcast?

About an hour ago,

an unauthorized broadcast
went out across the city.

[SUBARU]
From a Sin Archbishops?

Did they steal the metia

from the city
government building?

We have a more
pressing matter.

It occurs to me that
they may have taken

the city's four control towers.

There now is a flag bearing
the Witch's Cult's crest,

at the top of each tower.

Were the city's watergates
to be opened,

the entirety of Priestella

would be underwater
within moments.

As for the speaker
on the broadcast,

they called themselves,
the Sin Archbishop of Lust.

Of Lust?

Are you sure
they didn't say Wrath or Greed?

[CRUSCH]
That's correct.

She introduced herself
as Capella Emerada Lugunica

and declared that
the city of Priestella

now belonged
to the Witch's Cult.

So, there are three
Sin Archbishops?

The whole city
must be in a panic.

Due to the nature
of its construction,

this city is remarkably
well prepared for disaster.

You'd be surprised
how resilient the people are.

Still, they've been advised
to take shelter.

What do we think
these people want?

The remains of the witch
that lie within the city.

[SUBARU]
Huh?

Tell me, Subaru,
how much do you know

about how Priestella
came to be?

I think something about

how the city was originally

a big trap to catch something?

Right, and the thing
they caught with that big trap

was none other than
one of the Witches of Sin.

Long ago, they flooded
the whole city to destroy her,

and the witch's remains
are still hidden somewhere

within this very city,
or so they say.
