Original subtitles

I was wondering if you'd arrive before I became a granny.

You're Otto's helper?

"Helper" makes it sound as if we're equals.

I am an attendant.

You're talking like you're a witch's familiar.

My orders from Master Roswaal were to assist you.

It was my own decision to seek out Otto to meet that end.

So he measured up to your standards?

I thought if there was no one I could handily use,

you would end up dying in vain.

Crap! I can't deny that!

Well, you should!

For someone who's been confined, you seem awfully composed.

-What? Well… -Well…

Well, I did just have a good laugh.

We're going to escape.

Garf can't leave the graveyard while Lady Emilia is attempting the trial.

We'll leave while his attention is away from us.

No.

Running away can wait until later.

Natsuki?

I'm not saying we won't run,

but this is a golden opportunity.

What are you planning?

I'm going to do what I was trying to do three days ago before I was interrupted.

Roswaal, I won't let you hide anything from me this time.

Reunited after three days…

It doesn't quite feel like a miraculous return.

Quit joking around.

I don't have time to put up with your dumb games right now.

It was Ram who let you in, yes?

I did order her to help you.

Yes. That's why she let me in here without arguing.

I put the idea of running away on hold.

Really?

I want to ask you something

under the assumption that my leaving the Sanctuary is a given.

Of course.

If I have the answer, I will give it to you.

If anything, it's something only you can answer.

Is Beatrice a member of the witch's cult?

What made you suspect that Beatrice may be a witch cultist?

I saw her in the forbidden library.

She had a Gospel.

If she is a witch cultist,

that makes her our…

My enemy.

Those are strong words.

Words that took true resolve to say.

And…

Even if you say them with such a pained expression,

they are not very convincing.

The idea that you and she should become enemies is truly awful.

So I would like to offer you a helping hand.

You? Offer me a helping hand?

That's got to be one of the shadiest statements ever.

It is true that what you saw was something closely resembling a Gospel.

It makes sense that you would suspect it to be one.

But you have my word that she is not a witch cultist.

What?

Do you mean that?

That book of hers is not a Gospel.

It is a magical text that tells the true future,

of which only two copies exist in the world.

It is the closest there is to the Tome of Wisdom.

Tome of Wisdom?

But she definitely said it was a Gospel!

Everything I do is in accordance with the Gospel's guidance, I suppose!

That is because it lacks an official name.

Thus, it is given the same name used for the defective versions.

Defective?

Well, as long as she's not a witch cultist, it's fine.

The question is, how can I get her to help me?

"Roswaal said you are to ask the question."

What?

If you say this to Beatrice, she should respond.

You mean…

"Roswaal said to ask the question."

I see.

It appears these words are insufficient for you.

Hang on. Insufficient?

Then tell her this,

"I am that person."

That person?

Get Beatrice to ask the question,

then answer it affirmatively.

If you do that,

she will, without a doubt, ally with you.

How can you be so sure?

Because it is in the contract that she is powerless to override.

Contract…

If this doesn't work, I'll punch you right in the face!

That I can promise you, no matter what you say!

Very well. Do as you please.

Once you have allied with Beatrice,

she will surely be a great help in solving all the problems concerning the Sanctuary.

Roswaal, I have one last question.

What is it?

You're not actually our enemy, are you?

Of course not.

I am an ally to all of you.

Did you get any answers?

Yes, quite a few.

I think all the pieces fit together now.

What's the plan?

A carriage would be too conspicuous.

You and I will have to ride together.

Is that all right?

I guess you'd be in danger if you stayed here, too.

I have no problem--

Oh, wait!

Once we're out of the Sanctuary, our first stop is the mansion.

We can't just leave Frederica to fend for herself.

But if it's just us two…

That's hardly enough to fight.

In other words, you want me to go with you?

Well, if you would, I mean, I would feel a lot better.

I suppose I must.

You're sure?

Master Roswaal did order me to help you, after all.

But…

How will we travel?

There's only one ground dragon and there are three of us.

Well…

Even if both of you only amount to half a man,

you each take up enough space for a full man.

I don't think we will all fit on one dragon.

Was the "half a man" comment necessary?

Having a cozy little chat while you take a walk?

Well, since I'm here, why not let me in on the fun?

The brighter it shines, the farther away the magrizza goes, as they say!

Shouldn't you be overseeing the trial right now?

Do you have time to waste hanging around here?

My job is to protect this Sanctuary!

So if the Sanctuary's under threat, you better believe I have time!

You couldn't escape the eyes of this Sanctuary!

Eyes of the Sanctuary?

I'm just saying your little plans were leaked.

So? Where do you think you're heading off to?

Well?

We're going to get Barusu outside the Sanctuary.

He'll cause trouble for you if he stays here, too.

This works out perfectly for you.

You think you know what's going on in my head, huh?

Damn, there is nothing lovable about you at all.

That's what I like about you, though.

So can we assume that you're agreeing to let us go?

What?

I know damn well it would be a pain in my ass to keep you here!

The thing is…

To put it another way, Hoshin was Banan's sunset!

Oh, really?

I still don't understand your idioms,

but as long as you realize--

What's with you guys?

Given your lack of education, you might not have understood.

"Hoshin was Banan's sunset" is a saying

based on the tale of how the legendary trader, Hoshin,

brought the small nation of Banan to ruin.

It gives your opponent two options, surrender or face an all-out attack.

Surrender or all-out attack?

Garf, are you so dumb that you didn't understand me?

You're the one who'd better watch what you say, Ram!

It doesn't mean I won't twist your arm just because I like you.

Take him back to where he was!

You're really fixated on keeping me confined, aren't you?

Keeping me here is bad, so if you can let me go, why wouldn't you?

I don't know what the hell you are!

That means I can't let you outside!

That decision may upset Master Roswaal.

Because to Master Roswaal, Barusu is…

a useless employee, he could easily be discarded.

You've got some nerve, saying that now!

It would upset Roswaal?

Do you think he cares about this place,

about the old hag, or anyone else?

He doesn't give a damn!

Not about you either, Ram!

Master Roswaal is--

Shut up!

I don't give a shit about that bastard!

We're done here! Hand him over! I'm going to tie him up and--

-Ram! -Go!

Hey!

Damn small fry!

You can't afford to be distracted, Garf.

Get out of my way!

Hang on, Otto! Why--

You would've been in danger if we had stayed!

Ram and I made this decision together!

What are you doing?

Something I was hoping I wouldn't have to resort to.

It would've been better if I hadn't had to!

What?

What are those?

The people of Arlam?

What did I tell you?

I have some very reliable helpers!

You weren't just talking about Ram?

Subaru! Please take care!

This way! In here!

Otto, take care of Subaru!

Why are they all doing something so crazy?

That's not very convincing, coming from you!

Keep going straight, and you'll find the barrier.

What about everyone else?

We'll stall your pursuers!

We can buy enough time for you to escape, no problem!

Garfiel…

I'll…

do as you say.

So please, don't hurt…

anyone else.

What?

You complete idiot!

Garf…

Garfiel!

Stay away from Subaru, you monster!

Stop--

Stop it! Please!

No one needs to die but me!

That's enough, Patrasche!

Why am I here?

It's morning?

Damn it. How long have I been asleep?

What?

What?

What's going on?

I can't!

I have to get them back,

whatever it takes.

There's…

no one here?

What?

A rabbit?

Why is there a rabbit here?

What?

No, wait! Don't…

Why…

Why?

Why?

Why?

You have once again earned the qualification.

I invite you to a witch's tea party.

I don't often invite the same guest to my tea parties twice.

Feel free to be proud.

I feel so calm, it's kind of creepy.

What's going on?

It's because of the tea you drank last time.

It directly affected your Sloth Witch Factor,

encouraging stability.

If not for that, your soul itself would have crumbled to pieces.

Now I'm ready to accept your gratitude.

Can I assume this will keep working, even after I'm back outside?

Well, we are talking about your mental state.

So long as you remember what happened here, you should be fine.

So where's that gratitude?

Echidna.

Is there a way to overwrite the vow?

-What? -You know…

The one that makes me forget about you once I step outside.

So long as it stands, my soul's still likely to fall apart.

Well, that's true, but…

Besides, my soul isn't the only problem here.

I want to be able to remember you regardless.

What?

If it comes at a price, I'll pay whatever you want.

In return, don't hide yourself in my memories.

All right.

What?

Really? Thanks a lot!

And no changing your mind, all right?

I wouldn't do something so shameless.

I wouldn't, but I think you're being a bit unfair.

And then you gulp down my bodily fluids like that.

I forgot about that!

So? Where's that gratitude?

I don't believe I've heard it yet.

Yes, thanks for making me this nasty tea, you witch!

That kind of gratitude wounds my maidenly heart.

What?

What? You have something else to say?

Quit playing around.

Just how much do you know about me?

If you're asking what I know, I know only what I know.

If you're asking what I want to know, I want to know everything in this world.

There's no way it shouldn't seem strange to you.

For you, this is happening right after your last tea party with me, isn't it?

So if you don't find this strange,

then…

Then?

Then that can only mean you know how this happened.

-Then test me. -What?

You might not even have time to regret saying that!

If that proves to be true,

can I expect you to break down crying over my corpse?

Echidna…

I…

I've been Returning by Death!

What?

I see.

It's a bit embarrassing to have you staring at me like that.

When I die, I go back in time and restart the world.

I Return by Death.

I heard you.

And before I heard you, I saw you.

I Return by Death!

-Return by Death! -Hey, calm down! I know how you feel but--

I've been Returning by Death!

I've died and started again, over and over!

-I Return by Death! -I get it, I said! Just listen to me--

I've been…

Returning by Death…

to start again, over and over.

I…

All this time…

Ever since I came to this world…

I've never been able to say it to anyone…

Over and over, all alone…

Alone this whole time, I…

I know.

I know every step you've taken on your path here.

I was watching.

But watching is all I was doing.

So if you can, I would like you to tell me yourself

what you have thought, how you have felt,

and how much weight you have carried.

I want to know.

After all, I'm the Witch of Greed,

who wants to know everything in this world.

That's me, Echidna.
