04x18 - Ram

[bunniefuu]

I am Volcanica.

Per the ancient covenant,

I ask the will of the one
who hath reached the summit.

The Holy Dragon Volcanica...

W-Well, Volcanica, I'm here
to take the first floor exam.

I don't know how hard it'll be,

but if I don't try my best, Subaru
and the others will be in trouble.

So hit me with whatever it may be!

Thou who hath reached the tower's summit,

petitioner of omnipotence who hath
set foot upon the first floor...

I am Volcanica.

Per the ancient covenant,

I ask the will of the one
who hath reached the summit.

Huh?

Are you doing this because
I didn't introduce myself?

I'm sorry. I'm Emilia. Just Emilia.

But there happen to be a lot of people
who don't remember me right now,

so I hope you're not going
to ask me to prove it...

But I am Emilia!

You're so cold.

Thou who hath reached the tower's summit,

petitioner of omnipotence who hath
set foot upon the first floor...

I am Volcanica.

Per the ancient covenant,

I ask the will of the one
who hath reached the summit.

Are you so old that you've
forgotten about the exam?

Please, Volcanica!

Thou who hath reached the tower's summit,

petitioner of omnipotence who hath
set foot upon the first floor...

I am Volcanica.

This isn't working at all! I need
to hear what comes after that!

Per the ancient covenant,

I ask the will of the one
who hath reached the summit.

Could it be that there's
something over there?

I knew it! There's something
about that pillar!

I can't go into this half-hearted.

I'll take it seriously.

Icebrand Arts...

and Ice Soldiers!

Lend me your power!

Here I come, sleepyhead!

If you're going to wake up,
you'd best do it fast!

We can't get enough of you!

You'll make the perfect feast
for our epicurean tastes!

Nice! Good! Great!

Excellent! Fine! Perfect!
Fantastic! Stupendous!

Just marvelous! And that's
exactly what makes it...

Gluttony!

I'm still far from my
normal condition, but...

Barusu was right.

It's all-out w*r.

And for that... Ram.

I'll take the burden off you.

Cor Leonis. It's my authority.

So in other words,
the better my condition is,

the more you suffer?

I feel like I just handed the nuclear codes
to someone who should never have them.

Fool.

I will pull no punches.

That's the spirit.
Go knock Gluttony into orbit!

If I take too long, Barusu will die.

Hold on for dear life, Barusu.

Don't make Rem cry.

Subaru!

That's the recoil from Ram, I suppose.

I'll tough it out.

Big Sister and I are doing this together!

All at once, everyone!

Big Brother, are you concentrating?

If you and Beatrice get
k*lled, it's all over!

I know.

Hey, Meili.

When this is all over, wanna be my daughter?

What did I just say? Concentrate!

Something's wrong with me.

I feel like I've turned
into an idiot, too.

Now!

Meili!

That's nothing I can't...

...blow away with your wind?

Don't bother! It's fixed in space,

so even you can't shake it off!

Too bad!

Sister, are you serious?

For real?

You're talking like Barusu.

That makes me less reluctant
to hit you. I appreciate it.

Well? Do you regret it?

Well? Do you regret it?

Well? Do you regret it?

Solar Eclipse!

I heard that transforming
was one of Lust's tricks,

but I don't have time
to play around with you.

Return everything you've consumed
as Gluttony, and I'll—

You'll what? You'll let us go?

No. I'll k*ll you quickly.

A good deal, no?

You deserve a million deaths,
but I'll let you off with one.

It's strange, though.

If you had such a trick up your sleeve,

you could have played it sooner.

Why didn't you?

Is there a reason you
didn't want to use it?

Too much for that body to handle?

My goodness.

We've never faced a woman
as formidable as you before.

But...

you're not the only one who's
been watching your opponent!

From our approach...

...to our punch!

We're aware, you know.

Rem's big sister can't keep moving like
that without using some cheap trick.

And it's not as if we're interested
in a contest of strength with you!

You decided to flee rather quickly.

No, rather...

If you know about my clairvoyance,

you shouldn't expect to run away so easily.

Rem...

Ram!

Break through the encirclement!

So long as you survive, that's enough!

The glory of the demons means nothing.

But that doesn't mean I
won't have retribution.

S**ter!

Rem, I'm glad you're all right.

Someone finally broke it off.

Rem...

You're making fun of me.

To make sure I don't forget this sight.

I won't let you have your way any—

No... Did Barusu die?

No, that's not it.

He took a very big burden from someone.

Either Lady Beatrice or Meili...

Why are you losing heart, Ram?

You are Rem's older sister.

Aren't land dragons great?

They're so hard-working and
loyal to their masters.

But... But, but, but, but, but,
but, but, but, but, but...

Sadly, a land dragon won't fill our belly!

Perhaps you k*lling yourself would
lead to some new discoveries?

You think?

Yes, yes.

You've done a very good job!

Lunar Eclipse uses a memory,

while Solar Eclipse uses
one's existence itself.

I had never used Solar Eclipse before.

We had no idea we could
grow so much during battle!

Normally, for an old man like us...

...such a thing would be inconceivable!

Now, this is brilliant!

For her big sister's sake,

Rem will k*ll her sister's
beloved with her own—

Stop saying such creepy things.

You finally caught up with us, Sister!

We... Wait, "we"?

We... siblings?

We Rems have been waiting for you!

You've gotten awfully ugly
in such a short time.

You've done brilliantly, Patrasche.

Take Rem and leave here.

You can't do that, Sister.

She is our precious hors d'oeuvre.

We must have all the fixings before
we can enjoy the main dish!

Die.

Sister...

Cry for us, Sister.

Get angry, Sister!

Laugh, Sister!

Cry! Get angry! Laugh! Suffer!

Smile! Hurt! Sulk!

Get worked up! Blush! Doze off!

Fret! Be shocked! Congratulate us...

Sister!

Don't you call me—

Sister, Sister. That face
isn't like you at all.

That's...

my horn.

Sister, Sister. Are you all right?

Oh?

Ah, we found you!

I take it back.

Sister...

I thought I had no luck,
but that isn't the case.

It would seem even the heavens themselves
are head over heels for our cuteness.

Sister...

I'm sorry to say my sister is asleep.

I can tell through our synesthesia.

Synes...

Synesthesia.

It seems Rem and I were
very close as sisters.

Joy and anger, sadness and pain...

We can share all those things,

as well as both the power and
the burden of the demon race.

Forgive your cruel older sister for
placing such a burden on you even now.

I hate that Barusu's plan gave
me a hint, but no matter.

What did Subaru do?

Do not say Barusu's name
with that face and voice.

Things born in the darkness
ought to return to the darkness.

And if you cried as you were born...

you ought to cry as you die!

I have never felt as good as I do now.

Too slow, half-wit.

I'll be an old grandma
by the time you're done.

Of course, even as an old
grandma, I'll still be cute.

You can't jump consecutively, can you?

I'm sick of your party
tricks. And that face, too.

Wai—

I won't wait.

Take responsibility for your own actions.

By the way, I hear you have
a brother and sister, too.

Why not stand tall for their sake?

Not... our... our sister...

Don't touch her, you say?

You think you're in any
place to make that demand?

Have you ever once lent
an ear to another's pleas?

But... still...

I'll think—

You're too kind, Sister.

Oh, damn it! Damn it, damn it, damn it!

We never... We never knew
someone like her existed!

And we wish we'd never found out!

We want her! There's nothing
else we'll ever need!

Nothing else...

Ah, right! That's right! It's true!

Isn't it so?! It is so!

Of course it's so! It's exactly so!

That is how we want it to be!

And that is what makes it Gluttony!

Yes! We love you, Big Sister... no, Ram!

We love y—

It can't be...

Are you serious?

Wait! Wait, please!

Wait! Wait! Just a little longer!

Just a little longer, please!

Just a little longer is all we need!

Please accept our feelings!

Please see our wish through!

Fura.

We... love...

Those who live by the sword die by the sword.

Those who cling to evil are felled by evil.

Those who rely on fire perish by fire.

And...

those who ask favors from
demons are slain by demons.

The thing you lean upon is the
thing that will destroy you.

Did you wish to protect Rem, too?

I see. Good girl, Patrasche.

When my horn broke that day...

It happened so that I would
know that I'm your older sister today.

Silly.

I love you,

Ram

Rem.

If your tail and legs are fine...

Darn it! Why is only your head empty?!

The top of the pillar! Get me up there!

I'm sorry, Subaru!

I have to find the exam...

Someone's... handprints?
