Original subtitles

We're going to the mansion?

I know what's going to happen, and I have to stop it!

-She's drawn to me, which means-- -If you say we've got to use you as bait,

I'm going to bite off one of your fingers!

The old hag, Ram, and everyone else already got swallowed up!

I would be a disgrace if I let it get you, too!

The shadow swallowed up all of them?

Yes.

The whole ground was engulfed by the shadow before I even realized it.

If Ram hadn't sent me flying with her wind,

it would have gotten me, too.

So Ram and Ryuzu were just…

And Otto…

And Emilia, too?

Damn it! Why now, of all times?

Who's there?

What kind of joke is this?

I was hoping you wouldn't have to see this.

Are those clones of Ryuzu?

Don't worry about them.

They aren't her.

They are empty on the inside.

What are you planning to do?

What do you think?

We're going to bust through with sheer numbers and crush it!

I love you.

There you are!

Wait!

Go!

I love you.

Shut up.

I love you.

Shut up!

I love you, Subaru.

-Don't you dare call me that! -I love you.

-I love you. -Cut the crap!

The first real "I love you" I was given in this world was so powerful,

it made me think a loser like me could actually become a hero!

The first and second places in my heart are already taken!

-There's no room in here for you! -I love you.

-Compared to you… -I love you.

I'd have an easier time loving Echidna or any of the other witches!

I love you.

Love me.

Love me.

Love me.

Love me.

Love me.

-Love me. -This isn't death.

-Love me. -The shadow is surrounding me…

-Love me. -Engulfing me…

Is she just going to keep loving me forever?

Love me.

-Petra's handkerchief… -Love me.

-Love me. -Did Echidna know this would happen?

Love me.

Love me.

-Love me. -That damn witch!

Love me.

I swear…

I'm going to save you.

I made it back.

Emilia!

What?

What?

Why am I shaking?

I can't actually be…

Emilia…

Subaru?

Where…

Wait. I was just…

Subaru?

Why…

do you look like you're in so much pain?

It's all right, Subaru.

I'm right here. See?

I'm right here.

So…

You were supposed to help Lady Emilia, but you only caused trouble.

Why are you even alive?

After you came in hoping to help me,

it's really a shame you got so worried that you started crying.

Emilia, you're going to make me cry again.

But you're always the one helping me.

So a part of me is relieved that you let me see

this weaker side of you.

I'd rather not let you see that side of me, though.

What? Why not?

Because I only want you to see the part of me that's trying to look good.

I want you to forget that I'm actually a weak, helpless loser.

Hey! I'm not going to hate you just because

you showed me a moment of weakness!

That pride isn't very convincing after you've just bawled your eyes out.

Do you have to rain on my parade every single time?

All right, now.

Ram's attitude is just how she shows she's worried.

I wasn't sure what was going to happen for a minute,

but I'm glad you made it back all right.

I guess a little breeze won't knock the gafgalon fruit off the tree,

and that isn't something to sneeze at!

Oh, god!

-Wait. That's it? -What?

What?

Well, if nothing else, Garfiel isn't hostile right now.

The trial didn't break Emilia's spirit,

and Garfiel still maintains his neutral stance.

This is the best starting point I've had so far.

Now I just need to work out what I can test,

and what I can bring back.

I have to make use of this the best I can.

Ram, I want to talk to you about something.

Pervert.

You're jumping to conclusions and making me sound bad!

For one thing, I've never looked at you in that way!

True. You usually look much more vague.

What is it you want to ask of me?

It's about Garfiel.

I'm about to do something behind his back,

and there's a good chance he'll try to interfere.

So I want you to keep him here.

I don't like that look in your eyes, Barusu.

Get over your weird suspicions, would you?

Very well, then.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

-Ten favors in return will do. -That's a lot!

When I was inside that shadow, I merged with many consciousnesses.

Those were probably her victims' memories.

It's all disjointed fragments,

but I was able to bring back more than my own life is worth.

Now all that's left is to verify those memories.

Found it.

Is this Ryuzu?

I never expected you to discover this

only half a day after arriving here, Young Su.

It was the memory of someone who was swallowed up by the Witch of Envy,

someone who knew of this place.

Is the girl on the left the one who led me here this afternoon?

That is unlikely.

This girl is one of the guards assigned to this place.

It was another who met you in the forest.

One of the Sanctuary's eyes, nothing more.

There's something I want to ask you.

After that, I would like to request your help, if possible.

I shall not ignore your request, Young Su,

Apostle of Greed.

That is…

what has been written in the contract that binds us,

the copies of Ryuzu Meyer.

She seems awfully attached to me.

You do know who is responsible for creating this place, do you not?

I think it was the Witch of Greed, Echidna, right?

Yes, this is a land built by said witch's hand,

an experimental facility meant to fulfill said witch's dream.

What was she experimenting on?

Can you not see it right in front of you?

What?

Was there not a girl

who looked just like me trapped within the magic crystal?

That was the true, the first, Ryuzu Meyer.

All the other Ryuzus, including myself, are copies of her.

We are imitations.

Does knowing that I am an imitation change how you see me?

I don't know.

I would really like to say that it doesn't.

I would, but…

How kind you are, Young Su.

Our replica bodies are built upon

cores of artificial Od that have been produced by magic.

Those cores are wrapped in mana and given physical form,

resulting in these bodies.

Wait. You're talking about literally creating life!

Why the heck would she do an experiment like that?

To add something to those bodies, obviously.

Specifically, to add personalities, memories, and knowledge…

In other words, a soul.

She filled Ryuzu Meyer's body with her own being,

and each time a body perished,

she would make a new vessel to inherit its soul,

which would make her…

…basically immortal.

So that's it!

That's why she kept acting so familiar with me!

What?

My Return by Death makes me basically immortal, too.

Was she just happy to find a kindred spirit?

So was Echidna's experiment a success?

No, Echidna's soul was not inherited.

The witch's plans only came to pass in an imperfect form.

An imperfect form?

Ryuzu Meyer was an insufficient vessel to house the Witch of Greed.

And she couldn't have figured that out before she tried it?

After the witch's death, this facility remains,

and more copies continue to be produced.

Since our bodies are made of mana,

our saving grace is that we require no resources to survive.

Looks like you're drinking tea, though.

This is merely a hobby of mine.

An individual quirk that I acquired over my long life.

I was one of the first four copies made,

400 years ago now.

I was given the wisdom and personality to manage

the ever-increasing copies, as well as the Sanctuary.

You were created that way?

I did suffer at first.

I had no memories, only a job to do.

I know not how many years passed before

I truly felt as if I were alive.

Now do not look so sad.

In my own way, I have come to find significance in fulfilling my purpose.

Okay, and what did you mean by "Apostle of Greed" earlier?

Put simply,

it refers to the one who has the right to command us copies of Ryuzu Meyer.

Did the witch not bestow upon you a symbol of her apostlehood in the graveyard?

What kind of symbol?

A part of her body, such as a strand of hair or a fingernail.

Wait. The Chidna tea?

Chidna tea?

She got me to drink her bodily fluids cleverly disguised as tea, twice.

So you ingested a part of the witch.

All joking aside, that surely must be it.

That brat! What the hell did she make me drink?

Wait.

If the right to command the copies is what makes someone her apostle…

Did Garfiel enter the graveyard and undergo the trial, too?

Ryuzu.

Don't tell Garfiel that I'm an Apostle of Greed,

or that we've been in touch.

Young Gar certainly would have something to say if he knew

that his lover was meeting with his relative.

That was incredibly mean, plus it would make me incredibly sinful!

But, yes, I guess we're okay, then.

I'll probably need your help again in the future.

I hope I can count on you.

Do as you please. I cannot defy you.

Should you need a Garfiel ward, or a hug pillow--

Could you stop making me sound like some guy who's eternally frustrated?

I'll need you to keep up the good work as an eye.

Thanks, Ryuzu.

By the way, you said the original surname was Meyer, but yours is Bilma, right?

Where did that come from?

To go by the name "Ryuzu" is the duty that has been instilled in me.

Therefore, we must express our individuality in other ways,

such as hobbies, preferences, and names.

-Hey, Young Su. -Yes?

If you do not mind, would you ask me the same question again

after tomorrow?

I need to get everyone safely back to the village somehow.

I don't want to go through that again.

Subaru? What are you doing out here?

Hey.

It's a real shock when you act super-duper spooked like that.

"Super-duper"? Who says that in this day and age?

I guess I was worried for nothing.

I wasn't doing anything worth worrying about.

Everything's fine.

You almost look like a fairy, Emilia.

Hey! You shouldn't say mean things like that about someone!

-I can get angry, you know. -It was supposed to be a compliment!

Fairies are a type of evil spirit, aren't they?

You won't fool me into thinking that's a compliment!

Another pickup line foiled by the cultural barrier!

Anyway, what are you doing walking around out here so late at night?

If Puck were here, he would tell you that's bad for your skin.

I guess, well…

I have no excuse for that.

I just haven't been able to sleep since then,

so I went for a walk to feel the night breeze for a bit.

Because you're worried about the trial?

It's not that.

No. Maybe it is.

But I'm not entirely sure what it is myself.

I was walking around hoping to figure it out, I guess.

I really wish…

Puck was here.

I guess, no matter where I go, I'll always be a pinch hitter.

What?

You're amazing, Emilia.

No one would blame you for wanting to run away from this.

But you face it head-on without backing down.

I respect that.

What brought this on all of a sudden?

It's not sudden.

I've always thought that. I just couldn't say it until now.

Subaru…

I don't know how much help I can be to you,

but I'll say what I feel out loud.

You're going to be fine, Emilia.

I know you'll get it done.

I'm on your side.

Yes. Thank you.

Really, you've given me so much courage.

Natsuki, you're back?

You were gone for so long. I was worried about you.

I thought you had wandered into the forest and gotten lost.

What are you? An overprotective mother?

At least let me be the father.

Natsuki, I know you've had a hard time lately,

but you can always talk to me if it will help.

You say the weirdest things in your sleep. Gross.

Is that what you say to someone who was worried about you?

Just be quiet and sleep.

If your little outbursts get the villagers riled up, we're all in for it.

Well, I didn't mean that as a joke.

I know.

That's exactly why I can't tell you.

I'm going alone.

Emilia.

I'm going back to Roswaal's mansion to take care of something.

It's something I can't tell Ram, Roswaal, or the villagers about.

So you don't need to worry about anything.

I'll be back as soon as I'm done.

I'm in a world where it's assumed that I'll redo everything,

so it's not like it even makes sense to do this.

Let's go, Patrasche.

Even if this world disappears,

even if I end up leaving it behind,

I don't want Emilia to look sad.

My goal is to win at Roswaal's mansion.

I need to figure out exactly what's going on there.

If I don't know that, there's no way I can deal with it.

But if I can find out, I can even ask Echidna for help.

I'll do as many tests as I have to.

That's something only I can do.

So much energy first thing in the morning.

That's one damn gutsy ground dragon you've got there.

There seems to be a misunderstanding between you and me.

A misunderstanding? Like hell there is!

You and your witch stench are going out to do something evil, aren't you?

I won't deny smelling bad,

but why bring it up now?

You didn't say anything about it yesterday.

Looks like that was an inconvenient question for you.

It's written all over your face, Garfiel.

Stop it.

Don't make me more pissed off than I already am.

Don't even think about it, Ground Dragon!

One move and your precious master gets smashed!

What are you smirking about?

You…

You're so easy to read.

What?

Now I've got a good idea of what gets a reaction out of you,

and what makes you mad.

You bastard! You were testing me?

You're insane!

What the hell do you think you're risking your life for?

If my life was enough, it would be worth the result.

What?

Keep an open mind and let me off the hook, would you?

If I let you go now,

can you guarantee you aren't going to do anything bad to us later?

I won't betray Emilia,

and I won't do anything bad to the Sanctuary.

Trust me.

Garfiel, I know you're hiding something.

But I'm going to find out what it is.

-I swear it. -Shut up!

So long as I don't give up, there are no secrets.

You'd be wasting your time, trying to stop me.

What do you want to do to this place? To us?

I told you what my goal is, to help Emilia.

I have no intention of doing any harm to the Sanctuary.

I might put you guys through some hardship, but I want to help you all.

Who the hell do you think you are?

You don't know shit about this place, or the old hag, or anyone else!

What I don't know, I'm going to learn.

I consider that the reason I'm doing this.

What the hell are you going to accomplish with that uppity bullshit?

You have no idea what pain or suffering even is!

Quit running your damn mouth as if you do!

I do know.

What?

I know hell.

I've seen it many times.

I'm the only one who needs to know hell.

That's what I'm here for.

We should leave the mansion and take cover in the village for now?

This is what you wish of us?

Yes, if you would.

Sorry to make you deal with this, but I know you can handle it.

Goodness, what a pickup line.

You certainly know how to win a maid's heart, Subaru.

Me, too! I agree with her!

Thanks for the protective charm.

It really helped, though maybe not in the way you intended.

Really? I was useful to you?

Yes. You saved my life…

Well, that's not totally accurate, but that's how helpful it was.

I'm so glad!

In that case, you can thank me with one date!

Got it.

It will be an honor to be your first date.

I'll get fired up for it.

That's a promise!

Well, I'm going to go get ready!

Let's be sure to make more promises like that.

She is a very good girl.

Yes.

Take care of Rem, Petra, Patrasche, and yourself, too.

I'll join you as soon as I can.

I will eagerly await the moment you join us along with Lady Beatrice.

You're finally here, I suppose.

I'm here for a different reason than last time.

Do as you wish.

It's all quite ironic either way, I suppose.

The end of a contract that lasted a very long time.

By bringing an end to the end of the end,

I will truly be set free this time.

Of course.

The fact that it has to be with you

makes it an ending far too ironic for me, I suppose.
