Original subtitles

My name is echidna, but that's not my title,

so perhaps you'd know me better as the Witch of Greed.

It hurts to see you look so alarmed by me.

Despite who I am, I'm still a tender young maiden, you know.

Sorry, but there's no way I'm not

going to be alarmed when you tell

me that you're the witch of greed.

The first moment we meet each other.

Ah, I see. Well, that is a fair point.

What is this place? I was in some dark

ruins just a minute ago. When did you move me?

I'm sorry, but unfortunately you're quite mistaken.

You weren't physically moved anywhere at all.

You were merely invited to my tea party.

Your tea party? Indeed. It's a witch's tea party.

So are you just going to stand there forever?

Why don't you at least come over

and sit down before the tea gets cold?

God damn it! All right. Yeah, fine. Whatever.

Well, you're quite the brave one, aren't you?

Downing tea served by a witch in a single gulp.

If you really intended to kill me,

then I'd already be a little pile of ash right now.

What kind of tea is this anyway? Because it's a little bland.

It's actually something that's produced here. To put it bluntly,

it's a body fluid of mine.

What the hell did you just let me drink?

You're truly a fascinating individual now, aren't you?

Standing there in front of me like

it's a totally normal thing to do, huh?

You think you're so pretty. Your beauty

would make a normal person's eyes fall out.

Yeah, right. I'll have you know that my eyes

are blessed all day long by the prettiest girl alive.

So give it up, all right? No matter

how many times I look at you,

I'm not exactly going to think you're beautiful.

No. Most normal people tend to vomit

when they stand before me. Pretty funny, isn't it?

Yeah, that's freaking hilarious. Now, what is

it you want with me, anyway?

Oh, nothing. Really. You've come here completely of your own accord.

If you want to go back, I can send you there.

But are you sure that's what you want, huh?

This is an opportunity to talk to the Witch of greed.

It's not something that just anyone other

than you can earn quite so easily.

The only real requirement to have a dialogue

is for both of us to exist.

So let's remove the unnecessary things. All we need are our words.

Let me affirm the desires, the curiosities,

and the greed that you seek to satisfy with answers.

Now then, what is it you'd like to ask me?

Do you want to know about Daphne,

the witch of Gluttony, who created beasts

that defied the will of God to save the world from starvation?

Maybe you want to hear about Carmilla,

the witch of lust who granted emotions

to non-humans in an attempt to fill the world with love.

Or about Minerva, the Witch of Wrath,

who struck people to heal them as she lamented

the state of her war torn world.

Perhaps you're more curious about Sekhmet, the witch

of Sloth who drove a dragon past

the Great Waterfall just for a chance to rest?

Or Typhon, the Witch of Pride, who,

out of innocence and cruelty, judged criminals one after another.

Or kidnap the Witch of Greed, whose

thirst for knowledge led her to do

things she regrets even in death.

But of course the price of knowing everything knows.

Or there's the Witch of Envy, who killed

all the other witches and used them

as sustenance while making the whole world her enemy.

She is the most detestable of them all.

Oh, what a shame. It looks like I frightened you too much.

It's in a witch's nature. Bothersome, isn't it?

Oh, that took less time than I thought it would.

People are compatible. Really? Do adapt quickly.

What are you talking about? The tea that you drank earlier.

I used the envy witch factor on it as a means

to strengthen your resistance a little bit.

Now you and I can talk freely and leisurely.

So then what would you like to ask me?

That's enough. You're not gonna get away with this.

What did you do to my body?

Please don't get the wrong idea. I didn't

make you drink that tea with the intention of doing anything bad.

In fact, I find your existence a rather desirable thing.

I'm a bit embarrassed. Really? Huh? Sometime over these past few days.

You killed the one who possessed the sloth.

Which factor, didn't you? At the moment of his death,

the which factor chose you as its new dwelling?

That's also why you entered this burial ground unharmed.

This what? I'm in a cemetery. Mhm.

Where you're standing is the witch's graveyard,

where my soul is being held prisoner. The sanctuary.

You're saying you know where the sanctuary is?

I don't have enough experience to get a read on you yet.

Either you're somebody who's incredibly brave or just very bold.

Figure it out later. Now, what you're

saying is the force where those old ruins are.

Where I was before you zapped me. Here. That is the sanctuary.

You're so mean. But actually, you happen to be correct.

The sanctuary is just outside of the ruins.

So what other questions would you like for me? And if I ask.

You to, you'll let me back out, right?

Yes, absolutely. I can guarantee that. But isn't

there anything else you want to ask me? Because now's your chance.

Sorry, but I'd rather meet up with

Amelia outside than spend another second here talking to you. Huh?

Wait. You're kidding, right? But I'm the witch of greed.

People from around the world have come

to me in search of my knowledge.

Very powerful people. So relax, okay? We can

just sit down and talk for a while.

I have knowledge about the truth of this world. That. No.

Not interested. I'll make it a point

to chat over tea with you some

other time in the future, okay?

You'd ask a dead woman, a witch at that,

to agree to delay our discussion as if it were

the simplest thing in the world.

I've never had a tea party like this.

If you're really going back, I'll just take my compensation first.

Just so you know, these days, I'm what you'd call completely broke.

Compensation for a witch doesn't mean money.

What I desire from you is to make a promise to me.

You'll tell no one of what transpired at this tea party.

That is my condition. And since you insist on leaving,

I'll send you away with a souvenir.

I've decided to grant you the right

to face the trial of the sanctuary.

What are you talking about? You may not understand now,

but once you learn where it is, you'll realize its true worth.

I wonder what feelings will you have towards me when that happens?

The mere thought of it gives me such beautiful expectations.

Well, that was freaky. You really are a witch, huh?

Without a doubt. And I just so happened

to be a very, very evil magic user.

All right. I need to get out of here. Back to me, Leonardo.

I feel like someone said something to me.

Uh. Uh. Otto, look at you. Just

waltzing out of there like that. You've got some nerve, outsider.

Is this, like a Marc Maron laughing when it's full of holes?

Huh? Damn it! What the hell?

Huh? What a tantalizing.

Hey, that's a nice crown Dragon.

Whoa! Easy.

Well, you're a real good looking girl now, ain't you, precious?

Come on. I'm not gonna hurt you. Just take a little nap.

You'd better thank her for fighting so hard for you.

Wait, wait. I'm gonna thrash you guys

and then throw you out of this forest.

Half dead, just alive enough to.

Swear you won't tell a soul about this place.

Hold on. You don't happen to know Frederica, do you?

Why the hell did I just hear

that name come out of your filthy mouth?

Why the hell do you think? Just

stop this for a minute. Thought about it.

And still don't know. I guess I'll need to bash your skull.

In so many conclusions. And listen to me.

It's because we all know her too, okay? Huh?

The names Garfield, and the pleasure's all yours.

Now, if you guys know her like you say you do,

then you must have heard that name before, right? You mean your.

How in the hell do you know

that I have anything to do with Frederica?

You're not actually serious, right? I just got beat up for nothing.

What am I supposed to do with all.

This pent up anger inside? You ever.

Shut up? I apologize, didn't I? You call.

Hey, sorry about that, dummy. Looks like

I kind of jumped the gun. And apology.

Nah, if you'd show me that thing

sooner, that would have done it.

You gotta act on a ganglion without thinking a gangly.

What was that? Judging by that hair,

I'm guessing that's the famous Amelia,

the silver haired half devil that Roswell's been helping out. She's a.

Half elf. Got it. So don't you

ever call her something like that again.

Huh? Well, look at that. I guess

you could put some energy into your voice after all.

Wanna know how it feels to be a Basel

Mazel being flung back and forth?

I gotta ask you something. Is there

some sort of translation glitch going on between

you and me? Huh?

Amelia. You're awake.

Oh, man. I'm glad you're okay. Subaru. Where? Huh?

Who are you? Just so you know,

I'm not going to let you lay a single finger on him.

Hang on, Millie, I appreciate it, but as a guy,

I have mixed feelings about him.

I'm not gonna do anything because I don't

want rom giving me hell later on.

What? Yeah. So this guy's Garfield.

Hold on a minute. You mean the same

one that Frederica was telling us about?

Yep. That's right. And he's showing us the way to the sanctuary.

We're headed out there now. And that's

where the villagers from Aalam and Raam are.

Isn't that what you told me? You don't want.

To believe me. That's your call. But either way,

there ain't no turning back now, guys,

we've already made it past the barrier.

Then we're in the sanctuary right now.

Come on, give me a break. You of all people should know.

Why aren't you asleep? Because you got

too close to the barrier. What do you mean by.

Wait when the stone glowed? That's exactly when it happened.

So this pendant was reacting to the barrier, is that it?

Okay, but why did only Amelia pass out?

I mean, I got transported somewhere, but Otto

was here. Why didn't the same thing?

Don't play dumb. You know damn well

why the barrier reacted that way to her.

And now both of you. And it isn't

only half elves that thing reacts to either.

It works on me and a lot of others to figure it out.

Yet is it because you have mixed blood like I do?

Huh? Let me make sure I've got this.

So the sanctuary is a place where

demi humans with mixed blood live?

That's right. Nice guess we welcome you here,

Miss Amelia and your escorts to.

Roswaal likes to go around. Calling this area the sanctuary,

but it ain't really the kind of place

that deserves such a fancy title.

Nothing there but a rag bag of half.

It's just a dead end testing ground.

Um, where should we? So you're finally

back. It took you long enough. ROM.

I have no clue which boussu you are,

but I'm disappointed by how long it took you to get here.

Although I suppose I was a fool to expect more of you.

If your story is gonna be. You have no clue who I am,

then at least stick to it. Whatever.

I would like to welcome you to the sanctuary.

Miss Amelia. Master Roswell is waiting inside.

Allow me to show you the way.

Garf. I want you to take the ground

Dragon and carriage somewhere suitable. All right.

Now, is that any way to treat me?

That's just how I like it, though. Okay, cabby. Follow me.

Are you referring to me? That's the

worst name you've called me yet.

Why do I have to be alone with you?

I'll grab what's left of you. Why is everyone so mean to me?

Hey, what are you talking about? I'm not being mean.

When I was unconscious, Amelia only stayed

safe because of you. I'm grateful.

Oh, is that really true, Mr. Novatski?

Well, all right then, as long as you're

appreciative. See you. Soon. Too easy.

What's the matter? Oh, just wondering how you were doing, that's all.

Remember what was going on the last time I saw you?

I couldn't get in touch with you after that.

And to be honest, I was really worried.

Well, as you can see, I'm just as lovely and healthy as ever.

And the villagers of Ahlem are all

safe as well, so don't worry.

That's good to hear. But more than that,

it's a huge relief to me. Really.

So listen, I.

Hey, rom, this isn't much of a

place to stand around and talk.

Would you mind showing us inside? Oh, no, not at all.

Subaru. Are you all right? Yeah. I'm

sorry for interrupting, but you just seem to.

No, it's okay, I get it. I freaked out a little.

With all that's going on for her

to not even ask about REM. I'm pretty pathetic, huh?

It's only natural for you to feel frightened.

I'll never think you're having emotions as the least bit pathetic.

Come on, we've come this far. So let's

fix what happened to Ram and everything else to.

Sounds good. And no matter what happens,

you can count on me to be your

human shield and keep you safe.

Uh, Miss Amelia and your Subaru feels

like it's been so very long since I last saw you both.

I was gonna slug you when I saw you again.

But now what the hell happened?

What could have hurt you like this?

Well, it's a rather long story. Where shall I begin?

Hey, before that, just one thing. The alliance

with Miss Crush is on now.

Are you satisfied with the results you got from ditching me?

Oh, yes. I feel most satisfied. Indeed.

Truly, you were the once in a lifetime

windfall I had long waited for.

Oh, really? Roswell. What exactly is this place?

Since we got here? No, since we made contact with the barrier,

I've had this anxious feeling in my chest.

I can't relax, even though I've heard it called the sanctuary.

It really doesn't seem like one to me at all.

In fact, it feels more like.

More like a witch's graveyard. Does it seem

to make far more sense for you to call it that?

What do you mean? Exactly what I said.

Nothing more, nothing less. These are the very

grounds where the witch of greed echidna,

met her end a long, long time ago.

And in my mind, it's worth calling a sanctuary.

A kidnap. Subaru. Are you all right? Uh, yeah.

I'm fine. And why are you overseeing

a place that has such a seedy back story, anyway?

It's quite simple, really. This land has been

overseen by the heads of the Mathers family for generations now.

So then the Mathers family and the witch of greed.

It's the echidna. Huh? Please. When you speak of her,

I do prefer you use her name.

The Witch of greed is rather unbecoming.

It makes her sound so sinister. Not very nice, is it?

Um. Then the Mathers family in echidna

have been acquainted for a long time.

And that's why they've always overseen this place.

Indeed, although saying oversees a bit of an exaggeration,

the barrier here does most of the work,

thwarting entry from outsiders who don't follow procedure.

In addition to that, the barrier triggers

certain effects on those whose blood meets specific conditions.

I believe you experienced this yourself, Miss Amelia.

That doesn't explain how you got so jacked up.

Your bandaged in a bed recuperating.

Did you not find it the least bit strange, Miss Amelia? Huh?

That all the people who fled to the sanctuary,

along with Master Roswell and myself, ended

up remaining here instead of returning to the mansion? Uh oh.

Well, I you stayed around because you're hurt, didn't you?

It's because none of us can leave.

We're all being held under house arrest here in the sanctuary, huh?

Myself, Rahm, the people of Harlem, everyone.

And I'm sure that goes for the two

of you as well. From the moment you arrived.

What the hell? Are you guys still

flapping your gums in here? House arrest. So Roswell's injuries.

Are. Nope, not at all. Roswell here

got hurt because he was rejected by the trial.

Wait, what? I don't understand. You've seen

what happens when you enter this place, right?

When you make contact with the barrier.

Mixed bloods who go through that and still come inside.

You're stuck here forever like the rest of us.

Does that mean Amelia too? The barrier

doesn't mean jack squat to most people,

which seems a little unfair if you

ask me. Don't you think, Miss Amelia?

The only way to break it is

to go through the graveyards trial.

But if anybody who isn't a mixed blood tries to take it on.

All of the villagers have been rounded up in one place here.

As long as they don't act up, we won't hurt them.

Even get food and a place to sleep.

And that brings me to our single demand break the barrier.

The only one allowed to go to the trial

and make that happen is you. If you can't, we won't let any

of the villagers leave this place.

And you aren't going to be able

to leave here either. Do you understand?

Subaru.

Oh, thank goodness you're safe. I'm glad you're all okay.

What about the others? Are they all right?

Is the Lord recovering from his injuries?

We heard he got hurt trying to help us.

Hey, everyone! Listen up. In case you didn't know,

we got rid of the bad guy who attacked the village.

The other group that evacuated is back there now,

waiting for all of you to come home to them.

Guess every one of you has already

been told that this isn't the easiest place to get out of.

But don't you worry, because we've got

somebody who's getting ready to face the trial

head on and set you free.

Wait, you. Mean are you going to do it?

No. If I could do it, I'd be more than happy to. But.

You all know who this is. Amelia.

The royal selection candidate. She'll be undergoing the trial. I don't.

Know. I don't know. I'm sorry you had

to wait so long in the place of your domain,

Lord Roswell L Mathers, I will take on this challenge.

And I'd like your support.

Let me ask. You one thing, chief. Why do this?

If I remember correctly, you bowed your

head to us the last time you saw us too.

But in that instance, we were the ones who turned you away.

Huh? If you want to help us.

So we'll all back you in the royal selection.

We understand. And everybody here thinks that's just fine,

so long as you say so.

But if you have some other reason for taking this risk,

then we have a right to know.

We need to put our concerns at ease

and be assured that you're not a witch who's beyond our comprehension.

Oh. Huh? Mm.

I understand that right now.

I'm not sure if I can give you a respectable answer.

I don't have any convincing things to say.

Nothing that's strong enough to satisfy you with any confidence.

But although it wasn't for very long,

I spent a few days with your loved

ones. Those who aren't here now,

doing so made me realize that.

Families should always be together, and I want

to do everything I can to make sure you all return to yours.

I didn't promise any of them that I'd do so.

But I did promise myself. So that's why that's my reason.

I wasn't really thinking about earning your

support or anything, but if it's possible, I'd.

Well, I'd like to become your friend, if that's okay.

Miss Amelia. Uh, yes. I realize this

may sound like we only care about what benefits us, but.

I pray you'll be our friend.

Wait, I was. Know that I'm not worthy, but I.

I'm not worthy. Huh? Who says that in this day and age.

Interesting. Miss Amelia seems to have changed a bit.

Is it because of something you said to her?

It's from her thinking things through on her own.

It's not fair to her to assume

all her decisions come from someone else.

You're right. Yes, I was in the wrong this time.

Kunikazu Tokiwa kisen. How'd it go? Were

you able to get enough support from the lesser spirits?

Uh huh. Everything's fine. Still, I think I'd like one last year.

You really mean it? Yes, of course I do. If you don't mind.

You can do it. Don't give up. EMC.

Go, Amelia. The major challenger. Thanks for that.

Oh my God. You came off.

That light show means she's been approved

as a qualified challenger in the trial.

This is it. Kimi no. Kotoba. I get

that it sucks being trapped here.

But why didn't you do this trial yourself?

If I could, I would. Damn it!

Hey, is she gonna be okay? The lights aren't supposed to.

Go out as long as the trial's going on. Amelia, wait.

What are you.

You know what I don't understand?

But if I can get inside, that's

good enough for me. Just stay.

There. I'll yell if I need you. Okay?

Amelia.

First, you need to face your own past.

Good morning, son. Come on. What's that all about?

What's wrong? You look like you've just

seen your own dad half naked first thing in the morning.
