Original subtitles

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Why?

Why are you crying?

It's because I left you by yourself.

You did?

I couldn't find you for so long.

But I'm here.

What is your name?

My name is…

This should be a dream world,

but I can smell the wind and feel the ground.

What a strange feeling.

Echidna?

Are you listening?

What?

I'm sorry. Are you okay?

Did I walk too fast?

Do you expect me to treat you any differently

with such blatant sympathy?

If so, that's shallow of you.

Jeez.

I was just worried about you.

I don't need a single bit of your worry.

I just got too assimilated with this dream.

It will adjust itself soon.

Just like this. See?

"Dream world" is just a figurative expression.

To be precise, this is a mental space created based on your memory

and we arrive here by transferring our consciousness.

Thank you.

You hate me, but you still explain things to me.

I would like it if you don't mistake me as a good person from that.

Answering a question is just part of my principle.

Okay.

Do you still remember your ungraceful struggle during the last trial?

I did so poorly that I have nothing to say in my defense.

I'm sure I blocked my memory because it's something I don't want to see.

That's why I can't remember it myself.

And even now,

I'm still not fully prepared.

So are you saying it can't be helped if you fail again?

Preparing excuses already? That's pretty timid of you.

No. That's not it.

That's why

I'm here to prepare myself.

This is not just any regular big tree.

I sensed a strong will to lock something inside of this.

This is the princess's room.

They used to bring me here when I wanted to play.

Oh, but we can't touch doors, right?

Can we just walk through it?

That young girl is you, right?

She might be clueless, but what an astonishingly carefree face she has.

I was still young back then, so cut me some slack.

And also, at this point of time…

Mother Fortuna…

Emilia, I have important business to attend to today.

So be a good girl and stay here, okay?

Again?

You must have gotten your silver hair from my brother.

But your gentle face must have come from your mother.

Everyone in our family got a scary look.

But I love your eyes.

Mother Fortuna is my father's younger sister.

My real father and mother were always busy and they couldn't take care of me.

So they entrusted me to her.

It's so boring!

Even though she always told me that lying and keeping secrets are not good.

Right?

I want to go outside.

What?

A fairy?

Oh, that's unfair! Wait!

What?

Everyone is keeping secrets from me anyway,

so this should be okay!

Sneaky.

Sneaky.

You guys have done so much for us, every single time.

I could say the same thing. We have caused you so much trouble, too.

Same to you, Geuse.

And also,

just to be extra sure,

how's the seal today?

It's fine. Just as always.

I wouldn't be able to face my brother and sister-in-law

if anything were to happen to it.

As for your brother and his wife…

It's okay.

I know.

I will never forget just how important this duty is, that's all.

I don't want to abandon it or do it half-heartedly.

Isn't it the same as you?

I…

Well, this is the last thing I have.

I'm sure it's something different from the sense of responsibility you feel.

It's like an obsession or regret.

Perhaps I'm just clinging to something close to a delusion.

We don't get much change in the season thanks to the spirits.

But the clothes and books you guys bring really help us out.

Thank you as always.

You all weren't supposed to be forced to live in a place like this,

to begin with.

Don't call it "a place like this."

We love the forest, after all.

Lady Fortuna.

All deliveries have been received.

Thank you, Arch.

You sure have grown even stronger than before, Arch.

As the next Guardian, I can't let myself be treated like a kid forever.

I wish you good health.

For the forest, the seal, your family, and yourself as well.

Oh, right.

One last thing.

Is Lady Emilia doing well?

There's no need to worry.

Emilia is growing well, as an energetic and good girl.

But I'm sorry.

We can't let you meet her.

It's okay.

It's enough for me to learn that Lady Emilia is doing well.

To ask any more than that is too much for a sinner like me.

Archpriest Romanee-Conti, would that be all?

Yes, we're done here.

It's time for us sinners to go away.

Lady Fortuna, see you again in the future.

Whatever other people say, we will always be thankful to you guys.

Sincerely so.

Those words alone are enough for me to overcome a hundred years of suffering.

Lady Fortuna.

Are you tired?

Can you please not treat me like an elderly person?

I might be old compared to youngsters like you.

-But I'm still in my active age. -I have no intention of such!

I thought you might be a bit tired from your job as a Guardian.

Then I'll take on your offer.

Can you take care of the rest?

I have to go and free the princess who should be feeling bored right now.

What should I do?

What should I do?

What should I do?

What should I do?

What?

Amazing.

Emilia, are you there?

Oh, I'm here!

But…

What is it? You sound like you're in a panic--

Well…

I'm sorry.

I accidentally spilled the paint bin.

Oh, jeez.

Mother Fortuna, I'm…

You're such a worrywart, Emilia.

I'm not angry, so you don't have to be so scared.

Anyway, did you get hurt anywhere?

Mother?

No, it's nothing.

I just missed you so much.

I see.

What a cheeky girl.

Hey, Emilia.

Yes?

I love you.

I believe the scenery from your hidden memory is slowly surfacing now.

That's surprising.

I thought you would make more snarky comments about her or me.

Even if you really think so, I recommend you not to say such a thing out loud.

My impression of you is already low as it is,

but that remark just dropped it lower.

Oh, it's fine.

I will only say stuff like this when I'm with you.

For better or worse,

it seems like you're starting to get influenced by him.

Really?

Thank you.

Anyway, with this,

you'll finally remember your family, friends, and that fairy whatnot.

Will you go and face your past now?

No, not yet.

There's still one more thing I need to remember.

What else?

The seal.

Come here, little fairy.

Time for a jailbreak!

What?

Emilia, I'm coming in.

What's wrong?

Well, how about you? Didn't you have an important thing to do?

Yes. But first, here's a snack for you.

It's nuts.

You better eat this and be a good girl, okay?

Thank you.

Arch has been acting overly caring of me lately, so I better be careful.

Sneaky.

Geuse and his friends are coming today, too.

I thought they were hiding something more fun.

Everyone sure is weird.

Emilia has been very energetic lately.

She always gets back home with her clothes all dirty.

Glad to hear that she is in good health.

I'll make sure to bring more clothes next time.

I'm sorry. You guys have done so much for us, yet here I am asking for more.

Do you also have clothes for adults?

Yes, of course.

I'm sure there will be some that would look great on you.

What?

Jeez! We've known each other for a long time,

but since when did you start saying stuff like that?

I'm just saying what crossed my mind.

Have I perhaps said anything weird?

Geuse, what are you doing?

Well, come to think of it,

you used to catch a cold every time you got in a bad mood during our talk.

Though, it doesn't seem like you caught a cold.

Just how many years ago was that, anyway?

Don't treat me like a kid.

Silly.

Geuse, you idiot.

Also, Arch, you idiot.

Also…

How's the seal?

No change as always.

You're very diligent to ask about that every single time.

That's my duty after all.

Something suspicious seems to be going on outside the forest.

It might be just a needless worry, but I would like you to keep it in mind.

I got it.

I will be counting on you.

It's for Lady Emilia.

And the two of them as well.

Seal?

Pretty please?

A door?

What a peculiar sight.

So this is the seal.

There was this seal and then…

Here comes the answer.

So this is the seal?

Someone else read the love letter I wrote for the girl I like.

It's all over.

You're being overly dramatic.

Grab hold of yourself. Come on!

I didn't expect that Garfiel would get in first, and now…

You always try to sweet-talk her in public anyway.

How's this any different from that?

I'm usually prepared to get ignored at times like that,

and people do ignore it most of the time, so it was okay.

But this one is serious!

Not to mention, it's a midnight love letter.

The most embarrassing one!

No need to worry, Boss.

In fact, I'm even thinking of copying what you did.

"Follow the way of love set by the pioneer Ring-Down."

Even if you don't intend it that way, those words still hurt me, okay?

It took Garfiel around an hour, so I guess it would take her just as long.

That would be the case if she succeeds.

Oh, my.

You should read the mood better.

Gosh!

You're that dense, yet you call yourself a merchant?

Your words hurt me more than what you just did!

By the way, Lady Shima wants to talk to you.

She wants to continue the talk from last night.

Granny--

I mean, what talk did you have with that old hag--

There's no need to correct yourself, we all know you love your grandma.

We talked about the story of when you entered the graveyard.

Is that so?

After all, I got my hands full preparing to deal with Garfiel,

so we slid all other important stuff for another time.

So what's the important stuff, anyway?

Well…

It's something that we must talk about to free this Sanctuary.

Why won't it fall?

It looks weird and all.

But I found it thanks to you guys.

Let's clap!

Jeez!

It's Mother Fortuna's fault.

It's Geuse's fault.

Okay!

Time to go home.

As a master painter, I feel like drawing the sky red and the forest white today!

What's wrong?

Is there something fishy going on?

Now this is a problem.

I'm going to be late at this rate.

Oh, my.

Whose pretty bump could this belong to?

I request a moderate treatment.

Well, what do we have here?

What a cute young lady it turned out to be.

What?

Young lady…

No, you're…

Could it be…

Geuse?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Yes, indeed, I am doing fine.

There hasn't been any problem.

After all…

Right now, at this moment,

I've been completely saved.

Is that so?

If you're saved, then why are you crying?

I'm not crying because I'm sad.

I'm crying because I'm happy, because I'm blessed.

Because I'm fortunate.

Thanks to that, I am now letting out tears of happiness.

So you're crying even though you're happy?

It's all okay, Geuse.

It's all okay.

It's okay.

So many things happened, yet I forgot it all.

But I'm sure…

My past self wouldn't be able to take on all these facts.

But now…

It's scary, but I won't cower anymore.

You would normally cry and cling to a guy

like the nasty woman you are, but you're telling me you won't do that?

I'm sure Subaru will still forgive me even if I do that.

But I no longer want to lose to my weak self like that.

Also…

I don't want to turn all of those words Subaru wrote for me into a lie.

Subaru believes in me.

That's why I want to be the girl that he can believe in.

Just do what you want.

I will just satisfy myself by watching you suffer from all of these.

So it's about time, huh?

Yes.

The prelude is over.

The trial that will break you starts now.

Please wait, Lady Emilia!

It's dangerous to run like that!

I'm not listening!

Hurry up! Come here and catch me!

As you can see, she's hard to deal with.

Being energetic is a good thing.

But still, I wish she would avoid doing anything dangerous.

It will be great if she can stay inside the house,

get enough sunlight,

all without fearing her breaking anything.

-Geuse. -Yes?

That's really difficult, you know?

Well…

Is that so?

Still, if it's for Lady Emilia, then I…

I must…

Jeez!

Why won't both of you chase after me?

We're playing catch right now, aren't we?

Oh, no! I apologize!

It has truly been my fault!

Don't pamper her like that.

Emilia, come here.

What is it, Mother?

Jeez.

Mother Fortuna is such a baby.

What a shame.

-Emilia has been caught by Mother Fortuna. -Hey! That's unfair! Cheater!

That's no good! Unfair! You should feel sorry!

Oh, my! You're really saying that?

Then did you really feel sorry for not listening to what I'm saying?

Why did you get chased by me and Geuse to begin with?

What?

That's not it, Mother.

The fairies told me.

They invited me to play outside, so…

I hate people who would blame others or fairies for their mistakes.

I'm sorry.

I finally got to be friends with Geuse,

so I wanted to tell you about it.

Also, Geuse is a crybaby,

so I wanted to help him.

That feeling is very important.

But didn't you promise that you wouldn't go to that place?

It's dangerous.

Yes.

That's a very bad thing.

Promises represent the feeling of belief in others.

If you break the promise,

it means you will also betray the feelings of others who believe in you.

Emilia, promise me

that from now on, you will protect your promise no matter what.

Yes. I will.

I'm sorry, Mother.

Good.

Then it's all good.

So what about you? Are you okay?

It's such a dazzling sight, too much for me to see.

I just…

I couldn't hold back my tears.

-But still, Emilia… -Yes?

You said fairies, right?

Oh, yes, fairies!

They have been helping me out for quite a while.

-Come here. -What?

Could these be lesser spirits?

And there are so many of them!

Looks like Lady Emilia has the talent to be a Spirit Arts user.

Lesser spirit?

Talent as a Spirit Arts user?

What you call fairies is actually called lesser spirit.

Those who communicate, form contact, and borrow their power

are called Spirit Arts users.

Can I become that?

Hey, you shouldn't teach her anything weird.

Lady Emilia won't be a young child forever.

The spirit can also be her strength when there's no one else who can help her.

But still…

I can't let my cute Emilia be around something so dangerous.

I will be on Geuse's side from now on!

I will definitely be a Spirit Arts user!

Look. She's taking it seriously now. How will you take responsibility for this?

Oh, well…

Just what I…

Well…

Now this is a problem.

What?

Mother Fortuna and Geuse are just like Mother and Father somehow.

Don't be silly!

Geuse and I have known each other

-for a long time and-- -She's right.

As someone who has lived long,

even Lady Fortuna is like a young girl to me.

Calling me a young girl is too much.

Do you even know how old I am right now?

Well, it was just a figure of speech.

Needless to say, I am aware of your age.

And, indeed, Lady Fortuna has grown

into a fine lady unfitting of the title "young girl."

That's right.

Well, that's good enough. I forgive you.

What?

But you should reflect on it, okay?

Yes.

Anyway, we've known each other for a long time.

Way back when your mother and father were still--

Geuse!

Oh, I'm sorry.

My father and mother?

-I'm sorry, Emilia. -What?

We will save that talk for later. It's time for you to go back to your room.

"Later" again?

Will you really tell me about it?

Be a good girl and wait patiently, okay?

I will also bring you to Geuse next time.

Really?

Will you promise me? You won't break it, right?

Yes, I promise.

It's a very important promise between you and me.

Very well.

I will go back to my room, then.

See you again, Geuse.

You shouldn't cry too much, okay?

It's a promise until we meet again.

Yes.

I will surely meet you again next time.

Looks like it's here.

Who are you?

Shouldn't you introduce yourself first before asking for someone's name?

It's our first time meeting each other.

As fellow strangers, we both should stand on equal footing.

So why do I have to be looked down on by you like that?

You're a guy, yet you sure love idle talk.

That's quite a prejudice, coming from someone who barely knows a guy.

I can't let that attitude slide so easily, you know?

You're denying my right as an individual--

You should stop acting so full of yourself!

Just who are you?

Sin Archpriest of the Witch's Cult, representing Greed.

Regulus Corneas.
