Original subtitles

Are you all right, Shima?

I told you already, right, Young Su?

Just like spirits, our bodies are constantly depleting.

I see. Ryuzu works in a rotation of three.

But Shima, who has been kicked out of the rotation,

has no substitute.

I'm not confident I can keep it up until Lady Emilia returns.

As such, I will tell you about the important stuff now.

You don't have to do anything reckless!

-Have the healthy old hag-- -We can't tell who you're talking about.

Just call them Granny Shi and Granny Ryu.

Besides, it's not like she can replace Shima in this case.

We can only hear about this from Shima herself.

I'm the only one who can talk about it since I entered the graveyard

-and took the trial. -What?

The ancestor of us copies, Ryuzu Meyer.

They are her memories.

It all began here,

before this place was called the "Sanctuary."

These unfamiliar memories start with a lovely girl.

She has white skin, you can almost see through her,

and a pair of big, round, pale blue eyes.

What is it, I suppose?

I will not give you anything even if you gaze at me like that.

Staying silent again?

Are you a boring, cowardly girl, I suppose?

Beatrice.

What's with that attitude?

Lady Echidna…

Did I teach you to behave that way?

Oh, no! You're mistaken, Mother!

Betty didn't do anything.

It's just…

This girl…

I see.

Well then, you there, do you have anything to say?

Well…

Yes.

I am sorry.

I was enchanted by the sight of her in the twilight.

"Enchanted"? I see.

Beatrice.

That's what she said.

It would not be appropriate to tell you, a child, to behave more like an adult.

But your attitude lacks tolerance.

You're certainly special, but you shouldn't look down on others.

It must have been shocking for you.

This girl is Beatrice. She's kind of like my daughter.

Not "like," I am your daughter, I suppose.

Well, you heard her.

I believe I will be coming here with her more frequently from now on.

So please get along with her.

Yes!

Leave it to me, Lady Echidna.

You don't have to. I can do well by myself, I suppose.

That's how the two girls met.

After that, the lady witch would occasionally come to the village

with her daughter.

Are you spacing out there, I suppose?

It seems like you are as absentminded as ever, in fact.

Lady Beatrice.

Mother is occupied right now over there.

She will return once she's done.

So hurry up and take care of that annoying laundry, I suppose.

Oh, yes!

Excuse me.

Lady Beatrice?

It's nothing. I'm just killing time here, I suppose.

Lady Beatrice.

Well, if you don't mind…

If you like, could you assist me in folding these laundries?

What?

If it's too much for you to handle, then there's no other choice.

Betty shall help you out.

What?

Don't make me say it again.

Come on. Let's get on it already, I suppose!

Well…

If you don't mind, could you help me carry some of these laundries?

Don't get so full of yourself.

Just a bit, I suppose.

And so, while the lady witch was doing her business,

her daughter would spend time with Ryuzu Meyer.

You, the girl over there, I'm sorry.

Lady Echidna was supposed to be here.

Have you seen her?

Yes?

Master Mathers!

I don't really like getting called by my family name.

Can you perhaps call me "Roswaal" instead?

Wait a second!

Beatrice is in the Sanctuary, and Roswaal too?

To be precise, it's Master Roswaal from a few generations ago.

That aside, Lady Beatrice sure hasn't changed a bit.

I'm more interested in the witch.

I know that this used to be the Witch of Greed's experimental facility.

But I've never heard anything about the witch herself.

What?

You didn't meet the witch during the trial?

I only went in to finish what I started.

I didn't meet any witch.

But, Boss, judging from your reaction…

Does that mean you met the Witch of Greed?

Yes.

I see.

For those who don't know about that era, Lady Witch's existence does feel distant.

Even for me, those memories are from another;

they have nothing to do with me directly.

Hearing that from someone with the same face

-makes me feel like I've gone senile. -This sounds like bad clone humor.

A lot of Ryuzu Meyer's memories are about Lady Beatrice.

They seem to have gotten along very pleasantly.

Please tell us more about it.

What happened to what supposedly used to be a peaceful sanctuary?

A ruin.

And the true reason behind this sanctuary's existence comes to light.

The real reason this place exists?

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

Regulus Corneas.

Sin Archpriest of the Witch's Cult?

Why are you here?

I was promised that no one except me would be permitted

to involve themselves with this forest!

"Promised"?

That's just an agreement you declared and started yourself.

Yet you have the guts to push that onto other people?

Quite a conceited little spirit, aren't you?

If you don't like the agreement,

then you should raise the issue at the church.

Why are you showing your face here?

That is…

because I instructed him to.

Is there anything wrong, Archpriest Romanee-Conti?

Why…

Why are you here?

Regulus Corneas! Why did you bring her here?

She's here out of her own will.

You're always blaming me for things, do you have a grudge against me or something?

Archpriest Corneas.

He's just confused.

Don't be so hard on him.

Now bring the key and the seal here.

So that we can fulfill the Witch Cult's greatest desire.

Pandora!

Oh, my.

Die and apologize to my brother and sister-in-law in the afterlife!

Die with this and disappear!

Now, hold on.

You're clearly not paying attention to me,

yet you still tried to hit me, didn't you?

That means you just trampled my life, my existence, my rights,

and my whole being, didn't you?

Lady Fortuna.

Please take Lady Emilia with you and get out of here.

Mother…

Emilia…

Rest assured.

It's not like I'm staying behind completely without a plan.

I will surely come back with some help.

I surely will!

Geuse!

Considering it's your trial, wouldn't it be better for you to follow yourself?

What will you do?

Acting cool, aren't you?

But really, who allowed you to let them escape?

Isn't that a violation of my actions and my rights?

You can say whatever you like.

With my very existence in the line,

I will not allow you to advance any farther!

What?

Hey. Don't tell me that you…

I don't have the compatibility to use this.

As such, I'm simply holding onto the thing I was entrusted to.

However, it was all for a time like this.

Archpriest Petelgeuse Romanee-Conti.

Have a nice trip.

Please…

forgive me…

Master Flugel!

What a fool.

What?

So marvelous.

Archpriest Regulus Corneas.

Yes.

It's coming.

It is as I told you.

What lies here is hope.

And the great, unforgettable gratitude to the people who made me the way I am.

That is why…

If spilling my own blood can still mean something…

Just what do you see with those scarlet-hued eyes,

Archpriest Romanee-Conti?

Love.

I won't let you go after them.

I definitely won't let you pass…

here!

Geuse, just what…

What is he doing?

It's a splendid display of resolve, Archpriest Petelgeuse Romanee-Conti.

In the name of the Witch of Vainglory,

I hereby honor your resolve and resolute will

by granting you the seat of Sloth.

Do you think I desire such a seat?

There is but one thing I desire.

Tranquility for that mother and daughter!

Love.

It sure is wonderful.

It's a warmth that your falsehoods

will never attain!

Hey, you.

I came here. I am here.

Yet you're talking while ignoring me, just what are you thinking?

No way!

Regulus Corneas!

It's unpleasant.

There is no way the Witch Factor would acknowledge you,

yet you ignore its cost and force it into yourself, yes?

Even if you say it's futile, I--

It's not ending anytime soon.

While they are in a stalemate,

I bet there are some developments on "your" side.

You're telling me to leave this place?

Geuse is fighting with everything he's got here.

I don't mind arguing

over how one's feelings may or may not change the result.

Then why don't you just shut up and watch?

I will stay--

Surely, even your deficient mind can understand which course is wiser.

Time to change the scene.

Inside the forest where you and your mother are.

-Mother, no! -I'm begging you, Emilia.

-I will come back to you soon. -No! Absolutely not!

You have the same face as Geuse right now!

You will leave me! Please don't leave me!

I won't lie anymore! I won't break promises either!

I will be a good girl!

I will be a good girl, so please…

Emilia.

Emilia.

Emilia.

Emilia.

Mother Fortuna…

Mother Fortuna.

You're my real mother.

Mother Fortuna.

I love you.

Lady Fortuna!

Arch.

Is everyone else safe?

It's not looking good.

Our men along with the Archpriest's men are fighting the intruders right now.

They will eventually find you if you stay in this forest.

Their objective…

It's the seal, right?

Just how did they find out about it?

Even that woman too…

Fine. Anyway, I'm heading out.

No.

We will fight.

You should take Emilia and get out of here.

What good would running from here do?

If they get their hands on the seal, this whole world will be destroyed!

I'm sorry.

You got caught in all this because of us--

Please don't say that!

We're a family! No one resents you!

I'm sorry.

Emilia.

I will now have to go to fulfill my very important duty to protect everyone.

That's why I'll be away just for a tiny bit.

No, Mother! I…

Please.

Do what I say.

I want you to go with Arch and head outside the forest.

Lady Fortuna…

-I-- -Arch.

Maybe it's too early,

but I now entrust you with the duty of Guardian.

Please take Emilia with you.

It's a difficult world to live in, but there will surely be hope.

-I know there is. -I can't.

-I'll fight with everyone until the end-- -Please take care of Emilia.

For my brother, my sister-in-law, and me.

She's our precious daughter.

That's unfair.

You know that if you say that to me,

there is no way I can refuse!

I'm sorry.

Forgive us for being so unfair.

-Emilia. -No! I want to be with you, Mother!

Please! I beg you!

I don't want to…

I don't want to be alone!

You're not alone.

I will always be by your side.

When you close your eyes, I'll be there inside your memory.

When you hug yourself, I'll be the warmth inside your chest.

When you call, I will be the echo under the sky.

I will always be with you.

Always and forever.

Liar. You lied.

Mother, you liar!

Emilia, it's a promise.

You and I will always be together.

I promise you that, here and now.

Really?

Will you really be with me?

Yes, really.

Emilia…

Lia, I really love you.

More than anyone in this world.

Mother Fortuna.

I love you too!

I love you!

I love you.

I love you a lot, Mother Fortuna!

I really love you so much.

I love you. I really do.

Lia, I love you.

I love you, Emilia.

Why is this happening?

Is it because I broke my promise and went out?

No! It's not your fault!

It's not anyone's fault!

Then why? Why do we have to get separated?

Would it be better if I just stay locked inside my room alone?

If I had done that, no one would have disappeared.

-So everyone can be together-- -Emilia.

Was I a bad girl?

Is that why everyone hates me and now I'm alone?

No. That's not it, Emilia.

No one hates you.

This world and everyone in it are here to make you happy!

The Black Serpent…

The crucible of disease, the lesion demonic beast!

Fula!

Huma!

Arch?

It's okay.

I'm fine.

I'm fine, so…

Emilia.

Can you see the flowers between those trees?

Yes.

Can you run in the direction of that flower?

Past the flowers and straight ahead.

I can run.

I can run through it.

-But… -It's okay.

Emilia.

You won't be alone.

Arch…

Now run! No matter what you hear, don't look back!

That's right. You can do it.

Run.

Just like how you always do when you play with us.

Like hell will I let you pass.

Lady Fortuna.

I'm sure that girl will be all right!

Even after doing this much…

You know, isn't it about time you accept that this is pointless?

In the end,

this is all your resolve, determination, and all that stuff amounts to.

It's not like I'm doing this because it's my hobby to abuse people.

It looks like I'm bullying you only because you're weak.

You shouldn't be too hard on him, Archpriest Corneas.

You, who are special and complete, are indeed marvelous.

But also, those who are incomplete are no less marvelous.

All you do is cause us trouble. What brainless garbage.

Al Huma!

Geuse! Hang on!

Lady Fortuna, what about Lady Emilia?

I left her with Arch and had him take her outside, thanks to you.

That's really great.

There is nothing "great" about that!

Who do you think you are, coming back out of the blue like that?

I was about to stomp and crush his head just now!

With what right, with whose permission,

-do you dare to interfere with me! -Please wait, Archpriest Corneas.

What?

What is it, Lady Pandora?

Calm your anger.

I do not permit you to kill them here.

Don't you feel anything from seeing the two of them?

Did you just order me to calm my anger?

Don't you dare act cocky here, you woman!

No way.

That's what you get for overstepping your boundaries with me.

Don't get in my way.

Don't cut me when I'm talking.

-Lady Fortuna, please run-- -Don't be silly.

I parted ways with Emilia just to return here.

Just for what reason?

To not let you die.

And even if you were to die,

I returned to be by your side.

What am I supposed to wait in a world without you,

in a forest you won't visit?

I'm too weak to live in a world without you in it.

You? Weak?

I am weak.

I'm just acting strongly in front of you and Emilia.

After ignoring me for so long,

you two sure have gotten yourselves all worked up, huh?

I will turn both of you into indistinguishable puddles of blood--

I certainly told you to wait, didn't I, Archpriest Corneas?

I shall forgive your violent actions, your violent deeds, and everything else.

You have already fulfilled the purpose of which I brought you here.

It is fine for you to go home now.

You call me here then send me home now that you're satisfied?

-How far will you make a fool out of me? -Is that so?

Then let me take care of it.

"Archpriest Corneas cannot possibly be here."

"He is spending time at his mansion, surrounded by his wives."

Wait--

The boisterous one has departed the stage.

Now we can finally talk in peace.

Can I ask one thing before that?

Just earlier, you were already dead and in pieces, right?

Could you perhaps have mistaken something?

Archpriest Corneas is not here.

So naturally, everything that he did wouldn't have happened.

This is…

I won't erase the fact that you have incorporated

the Witch Factor into yourself.

I wish to praise your actions

and the actions of the woman who returned for your sake.

Lady Fortuna.

The two of us must strike her down here.

We must do everything we can for Lady Emilia's sake.

So cold and white, it froze even the quake of time,

so great it eternally hibernates even the souls,

o' ancient, mystic ice!

My life, my duty, my love…

For all their sakes…

All for this moment!

Now, come.

Let me embrace and taste your tenacity until the better end.

Mother Fortuna, Geuse, Arch…

I must…

I must do something.

Bring the key and the seal here.

The seal?

If that's what she wants,

then she can just have it.

If I go to that place…

Oh, but…

Little fairies?

Are you showing me the way?

Will I find the seal if I go that way?

Can I save Mother and everyone else?

I want to be with everyone!

I promise I will be a good girl!

Welcome.

I have been waiting for you.
