03x13 - Nikki

[bunniefuu]

What happened?

Is it sick?

Huh?

But how?

It's better not to touch it.

A strange dead cat?

Yeah, it was pretty creepy.

I've seen something like that, too.

It wasn't a cat, but a strange rat
died behind our house.

Is there some disease
going around, perhaps?

It's possible.

Everyone, make sure to wash
your hands thoroughly, okay?

Yes!
- I understand.

Rudeus!

Lise is pregnant.

Congratulations!
- Congratulations, Grandma!

Thank you.

A child, huh?
I'd like to have one with Roxy, too.

I wonder what Roxy thinks about it.

I'd be happy if she wanted
the same thing.

What's that loud noise?

Roxy!

An Advanced-tier Detoxification spell
doesn't work.

Do you know what illness she has?

Petrification syndrome.

Excuse me.

Only a God-tier Detoxification spell
can treat this disease.

What did you say just now?

The Holy Country of Millis has scripture
on God-tier Detoxification spell.

That's the only way to save Roxy.

I know where they keep it.

I will lead you there, Rudeus.

Of course, I'll go, too.

Thank you, both of you.

Intruders!
They stole the holy scripture!

Millis forces ambushed us
at the teleportation circle.

That was the first time...

I k*lled a human.

It's been a while, Rudeus!

Ghislaine and... Eris?

Why is she here?

You see...
I heard about you at school.

You wounded a demon king,
became a top student,

and even defeated the Hydra alone.

I also heard you gave up your left hand
to defeat one of the Seven Great Powers...

What business do you have here?

I have grown stronger!

I know you might already
be much stronger.

Still, I've become stronger
so I could be with you!

That's why...

Let's get married!

What are you talking about?

What kind of bullshit is that?!

Do you know how much
I've suffered because of you?!

I already have two wives.

I can't be with you.

Is that really okay?

Our priority now is Roxy.

Why now?

Roxy is gone now.

That Roxy I loved...

Rudy, I won't tell you to cheer up.

It's about time we moved on
together, as a family.

We're all grieving for Roxy.

But I don't think Roxy would be happy
to see you like this.

If it'll help ease your mind,

you can use my body
as much as you want.

There's no way I can sleep with you
when you're saying things like that!

I'm sorry.

If I sleep with Sylphie right now,
I'm sure I'll treat her roughly.

I'd imagine she was Roxy,

then use her as a punching bag
to take out my frustration.

We've been seeing a lot of
each other lately.

So what kind of shitty marriage proposal
do you have for me today?

What's this all about?!

No one understands
how I feel anyway.

Come again, okay?

I'll be back.

Sylphie...

Am I not good enough?!

Sylphie!

A few days later, Sylphie left home.

Lilia told me to chase after her,

but I didn't know if
I even had the right.

If only Elinalise were here...

It seems Sylphie left for the Kingdom
of Asura with Ariel and her allies.

If I hurry, I should still be
able to catch up to her.

I want to apologize to her,

go home together,
and start over with everyone.

I never thought I would have to enter
the Kingdom of Asura illegally.

I'll get the carriage ready,
so stay here.

I'm fine with making deals with bandits,

but I'm worried Sylphie might get
the wrong idea if she sees us together.

Why is she here?

Wait, the Kingdom of Asura
is her homeland.

It's not strange for her to be here.

According to that bandit, Triss,

the king of Asura is sick
and doesn't have much time left.

I'm sure Ariel rushed back here
to join the struggle for the throne.

Are you sure Princess Ariel
is staging a coup d'état?

But it looks like she got caught.

Rumor has it she'll be ex*cuted soon.

You rebels!

How dare you disturb
the peace of the capital!

You're a disgrace!

Sylphie! Sylphie!

No way... Sylphie...

Who the hell are you?

Are you one of their comrades?!

Don't you dare defile her!

I don't care anymore.

This country can just go to hell.

Everything can just disappear.

You've been nagging me
a lot today, haven't you?

You're ruining my booze,
so could you please shut up?

No, I won't.

Every day, you get drunk
and throw money away.

To top it all off, you even
brought a prost*tute home.

I'm the head of this household.

I can do whatever I want here.

If we're short on money,
you can just sell your body.

If you keep this up,
it'll be bad for Lucie, too.

You'll tear our household apart.

"Our household"?

This is my home.

I made this a home where
Sylphie and I could be happy.

A freeloader like you...

Stop acting like my mother!
You're just a lowly maid!

Why couldn't I get my act together
after losing Roxy?

Big Brother, welcome back.

Your food is ready.
Just give me a moment, okay?

Heya!

You...

Even when I call you,
you never show up when it matters.

What do you want from me now?

I thought I'd see you one last time.

One last time?
What do you mean?

Exactly what I said.

It means I don't need you anymore.

We met after the Teleportation
Incident, right?

I was really panicking back then.

My future had suddenly changed,
you know.

Since my blessing
doesn't work on you,

it was really hard to earn your trust.

But in the end,
you agreed to grant my request.

All that hard work paid off!

Your request?

Wasn't it about checking
out the basement?

That's right. And thanks to you,
I was able to k*ll Roxy.

What are you talking about?

Stop joking.
It's not funny.

You...

You k*lled Roxy?

Technically, no.

I can't act directly.

I just gave you advice as usual,
and you followed it.

In that sense,
the one who k*lled her...

was you.

So you k*lled her!

It was you...!

It was you...

That look on your face!
That's exactly what I wanted to see!

Why did you do that to Roxy?

Things have been hell since then!

Everyone... Everyone is gone!

That's your problem.

You always had a tendency
to end up like this.

Don't blame everything on me.

Well, it was fun watching you
fall apart.

You b*stard!

Oh, I'll tell you one more thing.

Roxy was pregnant.

Thanks to you being such an idiot,
everything went exactly as I planned.

Well then, good job.

Hey! b*stard!
I'm not done with you yet!

Man-God!

Man-God!

I wondered...
Was he just a dream?

After all, I hadn't found any evidence
that he even existed.

No.

The feeling of his hand
on my shoulder...

His laughter...

Everything was real.

I have to do whatever it takes
to find out more about him.

I need to find him.

And k*ll that b*stard.

Hey.

Have you ever heard of the Man-God?

This one's a bust, too.

Is there anyone who might know?

Hey, it's about time you told me
about the Man-God.

Eris.

What's with that look?!

Just say something!

You're not usually this quiet, are you?

She's been getting in my way
ever since Sylphie died.

She knows something.

She has to.

I want to visit Perugius
and ask about the Man-God.

But it'd be dangerous
if he's on the Man-God's side.

I have to proceed with caution.

Mr. Greyrat?!

Aisha!

Aisha!

Zanoba...

Aisha and Zanoba
treated me the same as ever,

even though I was acting like scum.

Why couldn't I be by their side
when it mattered most?

No, not yet.
There are still things I have to do.

The long-lived, immortal demons
must know something about the Man-God.

I haven't lost yet.

O hero! Not bad!

I can see through it!

I can do this!

I just have to keep
squashing her like this.

Bestow upon me thy power,

Water Spirits!

Deep Mist!

Where's Atofe?

Got you!

Eris?!

I can't pull it out!

Moore!

Find them!

Eris, why...?

She only wanted to stand by your side.

She hasn't changed since back then.

She worked hard for your sake.

She believed you'd one day understand
and accept her.

But you've changed.

No way...

Then, all this time, she...

She always...
She always loved me?

How was I supposed to know?

And now, there's no one left.

I couldn't protect any of them.

It's all the Man-God's fault.

I'll k*ll the Man-God
if it's the last thing I do.

Finally... I finally found it!

This world was originally
made up of six worlds,

arranged like six faces,

just like a six-sided die.

That Man-God is in a world called the
Barren World, which lies at the center.

It seems you can get there
using the Dragonfolk's secret art.

But what are these five sacred
treasures needed to use it?

According to Perugius, all five treasures
would appear within a few decades.

But I don't think I'll live that long.

I'm tired now.

Even my resentment toward
the Man-God is starting to fade.

Why have I been doing this,
and for whose sake?

I'll go back to the past.

Summoning magic and the magic
described on the Dragonfolk murals...

If I combine them
and adjust the method,

it might be possible
to travel to the past.

But I have a lot of concerns.

Would my past self believe me?

I'm not even sure this will work
in the first place.

But if it works,

I might be able to give the Man-God
a taste of his own medicine.

Sorry. You've done enough.
You don't have to say any more.

I don't want you to have any regrets...

About the basement, Nanahoshi, Eris...

And about the Man-God.

Did I manage to get my point across?

At least let me see Sylphie and Roxy,
even just once...

Oh! Sylphie... Roxy...

Damn it...

You two are as adorable as ever...
