Original subtitles

I’m so sorry, Miss Elsa.

This is what she wanted, so don’t feel like you’re at fault.

She’s definitely having a great time with her father in the next world.

I hope that’s true.

Oh, um... If it’s all right with you, how about having lunch with us?

Our house has been fixed too, so...

Really? But it’s only been two days...

Many of our neighbors pitched in to help.

I-I’ve... been ordered to act as security at a meeting this afternoon...

Oh, I see...

Lisa, we’re going.

Okay.

See you next time.

Episode 11

Truth –Truth–

Why did you turn her down?

I told you, I have work...

You didn’t say a word during the visit either.

I’ve been here with Luke before.

That’s the first time I felt it.

The feeling that makes me want to know more about him even though the truth will be scary.

You gave me the right advice.

That I wouldn’t be able to turn back once I learned the truth.

But I figured I couldn’t leave it as is and that I should meet it head on without running away.

Yet, I can’t even find the right words to say to Lisa.

So they didn’t come after all...

It must be because of me—

The whole idea of them eating lunch at our place is strange to begin with.

But—

Don’t worry about it.

It’s nothing to worry about.

It’s just like how things used to be.

We’ll be fine by ourselves, just like we always have.

Do you really believe that?

Lisa...

My father used to take me here all the time.

Even after he passed away, I always came here whenever something was on my mind.

Although, I did stop coming once I met Luke and everyone.

Are you surprised that Lisa’s a demon?

Of course I am! Aren’t you, as well?

I knew from the first time I met her.

Eh?!

Since I’m a demon as well.

In actuality, magic swords are demons. Are you surprised?

Well, so much is happening to me at the same time, so I don’t even know if I’m surprised or not anymore.

I’m so confused... I’m so pathetic.

Are you scared now that you know Lisa and I are demons?

No...

Do you think you can’t hang out with us any more?

Not at all! I don’t care if you’re demons or not, you’re still my friends!

Then there’s nothing to worry about, right?

Nothing about me has changed.

And Lisa is still the same as when you first met her, right?

You’re right! You’re absolutely right, Aria!

I’m such an idiot! Nothing about you two has changed, has it?!

I’m sorry!

I’m not the one you should be apologizing to, right?

Right. I’ll go see Lisa as soon as my mission’s over.

We thought the blacksmith was our only problem, but...

Are you referring to that female knight from the Self-Defense Knight Brigade?

Yes.

Shall I dispose of her for you?

That won’t be necessary. Just keep rounding up men as you were told.

Understood.

The representative from the Empire, eh?

It’s him!

The black-clothed man!

You bastard!

I won’t forgive such an insult to Master Siegfried.

Siegfried...?

Let go of me! It’s him! He’s the black-clothed man!

I’m surprised someone wants to assassinate me, the Captain of the Imperial Battalions.

Shut up! How many lives have been lost because of you?!

What’s going on?

Commander!

This guy is the black-clothed man!

Hm?

Do you have any proof?

I can testify. I saw your face with my own eyes!

Well, I certainly have no recollection of meeting you.

Cecily, Lord Siegfried is an important person within the Empire. Refrain from making any more rash remarks!

That name is also proof!

Hm?

I heard that name from Charlotte Firobisher.

She said that he’s the one who set up the whole attempt to steal the magic sword!

Is that true?

You’ve been deceived.

What?!

She is a swindler who pretends to bear the royal name. Are you really going to believe her?

How dare you cast aspersions on Charlotte!

Stop it.

Luke?

It’s just as he says. We have no evidence.

You saw him clearly as well!

How unreliable.

This girl visits your house frequently, does she not?

Yes, it must be one of those so-called “Romantic Relationships.”

What?!

Thus, it wouldn’t be surprising if we learned that they planned this in advance.

A delusion fitting for a scumbag.

What?!

I’ll eventually kill the black-clothed man, so I have nothing further to say.

I’ll take care of all this.

I beg for your forgiveness over Cecily’s actions.

Then why don’t we have her attend the meeting as well?

That girl from the Cambell House?

Why not? It would be rude to tell her that she’s just an annoying intruder.

I understand that she’s already heard from Luke Ainsworth what the topic of today’s meeting is.

Oh?

The blacksmith is pretty loose lipped, I see.

Did you divulge it during some pillow talk? If only I were young again.

Let’s leave it at that and start the meeting.

Luke Ainsworth, did you bring the sacred sword?

You finally completed it, eh?

No, it’s still unfinished.

Eh?!

Oh my... Making us wait this long, and yet it’s still not complete?

Do you have any motivation at all?!

If I could forge a sacred sword with just motivation, then it wouldn’t take this long.

Don’t be smart with us, kid! Why do you think we let you keep that demon for so long?!

Now, now... Lisa, was it? The name of your pet demon...

“Pet...!”

Couldn’t you forge the sacred sword quickly if you just used that demon’s ability?

It would be fragile and easily broken. We wouldn’t be able to use it to seal anything.

What are you trying to do by making nothing but useless swords?

Lisa Oakwood.

He’s not satisfied with simply killing his childhood friend. Apparently, he now wants to destroy the world.

You mean that stupid girl who challenged Valbanill and was killed in an instant?

How pitiful.

All she got for believing in your poorly-made trash was being turned into a demon?

What a pathetic tale.

How could you...!

Keep quiet.

Like anyone could keep quiet about something like this!

How long do you plan on letting them spew this nonsense?!

They’re dishonoring your precious Lisa!

This has nothing to do with you!

Stop this, you two. We’re in the middle of an important meeting.

You call this excuse for slander a meeting?!

Using the word “slander” is a tad misleading.

Didn’t you know? He turned his girlfriend into a demon just so he could save himself.

It seems she already knew that.

There’s no way he’d do something like that!

Then why does he have a fake left eye?

It’s because he offered his girlfriend’s life and his left eye to form a Demon’s Contract.

That’s true, isn’t it?

Yes.

Luke!

I don’t remember much about that day.

Both my father and Lisa died, and I was left alive.

That should be evidence enough.

Luke...

You see, he has a heart like a demon.

And giving that demon the same name as the girl whose flesh you used to create it...

I get it. Lisa and Lisa... He probably uses her as his slave, too.

Luke is not that sort of man at all!

You don’t even know how much he cared for them!

Get out.

Yes, you, Cecily Cambell! Get out of here!

I just...

What do you know about me?! Nothing. So don’t act like you do!

Please, Miss Cecily, leave at once.

It’s better this way.

Was I wrong in bringing her here,

Sir Blacksmith?

I may not know anything about him, but I know this:

Luke, no matter what happened, you wouldn’t turn Lisa into a demon!

That was fast.

Oh? Miss Cecily!

Please, sit d—

I’m sorry, Lisa.

Eh?

I’ve been avoiding you these past few days.

No, I should be sorry... It must have surprised you to learn that I’m a demon...

It makes no difference. You are who you are, Lisa.

It doesn’t change the fact you were, and always will be, my friend.

Right, Lisa?

Yes!

Hand Luke over?

The empire isn’t as lenient as this city. We’ll make sure he forges a decent sword.

I humbly refuse.

You’re the one who said we need absolute cooperation to seal away Valbanill!

Then why don’t we use a blacksmith from the military state?

I would never give the girl I’ve raised so carefully to thieves like yourselves. Yup.

What did you say?!

Everyone, calm down! Let’s take a recess.

What a worthless meeting, is it not? All they can do is think of their own country.

Wouldn’t it be much better if they were all just overthrown?

They talked about that in the meeting...?

Luke is Luke! Why wouldn’t he fight back?

I think it’s my fault...

Huh?

I’m a demon, so normally I’m not even allowed to be here. Since they’re kindly overlooking that fact, he...

I want to protect her. I’ll do anything to protect her.

I’ll put up with anything.

For Lisa, huh?

Even so, why would he take it that far?

Miss Cecily?

Ah, I’m sorry.

I simply don’t believe their story that Luke used Lisa’s body to perform a Demon’s Contract.

But, I’m pretty sure that I was born from Lisa’s body.

Why?

Apparently, I look exactly like Lisa did when she was little.

But despite that, I don’t have any of Lisa’s memories and our personalities are completely different.

That’s why Luke regrets naming me after Lisa.

Don’t be stupid! He’d never...!

It’s true...

Lisa...

I’m sure it’s hard on Luke.

Whenever he looks at me, he’s forced to remember what happened to Lisa.

Yet, Luke still takes such good care of me...

But that’s...

He must be trying to atone for not protecting Lisa!

Atone for...

I couldn’t protect her.

He couldn’t protect her?

But, I’m sure Lisa wanted to protect Luke as well.

Even so, I still want to be with Luke.

I want to keep helping Luke forever! Doing the cooking, the laundry, helping out around the house...

“Keep helping...”

“Forever...”

That’s it!

I get it!

Miss Cecily...

I have something to say.

We don’t have time for your drivel.

No, you’ll listen.

The truth about what happened three years ago.

“The truth about what happened three years ago,” you say?

Yes.

Luke never turned Lisa into a demon three years ago.

Then just who did create the demon, “Lisa?”

Lisa, herself.

How dare you say something like that! Get the hell out of here!

Shut up and listen, Luke.

Demon’s Contracts can only be made by the person involved.

That’s because that person is the only one who can recite their own Death Verse.

Well, that is true...

Couldn’t she just have been made to chant it, like that soldier from before?

That couldn’t have happened.

How can you be so sure?

Because Luke wanted to protect Lisa, and she in turn, wanted to protect him.

Stop this bullshit.

So she performed the Demon’s Contract in order to protect Luke.

I see. But, do you have any evidence?

My evidence is the fact that the demon “Lisa” was created.

What do you mean?

If he wanted to protect himself from Valbanill, why didn’t he make a more powerful demon?

Why would he need to make it take the form of a small, cute girl?

How should we know?!

There’s only one answer: Because she wanted to protect Luke forever.

Even if she were to die, she would still be able look after him forever...

That’s why her name’s Lisa!

That’s why she’s a normal, everyday girl who you could find anywhere.

One who cooks,

does the laundry,

and helps out around the house.

She even picked up the ability to forge swords to help out.

Lisa entrusted Lisa with the task of looking after the person who was most important to her.

That’s why Lisa was born from that Demon’s Contract.

This is what really happened three years ago.

That’s just what you want to believe!

What do you know about this?!

I can understand because of who I am!

Lisa also wanted to be a knight, didn’t she?

She swore to protect this city and all of the people in it, right?

That’s why she asked you to make her a sword!

I’m the same way, I understand how she feels because I think like her.

You’re not the same as Lisa! I’ll never accept that!

There’s no way I will!

There was nothing I could do back then.

My useless sword broke into pieces on the first swing!

Neither I nor my sword could protect Lisa.

That’s why I swore to protect Lisa no matter what!

For her sake, I’d do—

Wake up, Luke Ainsworth!

You understood how Lisa felt. You understood, yet chose to look the other way!

So that you could bear the guilt of not being able to protect her.

And using that as a constant warning, you swore to never make the same mistake again.

With the next sword you made, it had to be perfect.

It would have to be a sword that could protect the one you love!

You’re not doing this so you can seal Valbanill away.

You’re doing this to protect the one you love from any enemy, even Valbanill!

It has to be a sword without compromise!

Your sacred sword... is one made with Lisa and Lisa’s love!

“Love,” you say?

What good is that in the face of Valbanill?

Then try to break this sword.

Break it with your pathetic sword!

Fine.

Let me use this.

I’m sorry, Luke.

I’m sorry I spoke for Lisa.

But I don’t think I got anything wrong.

Don’t do that anymore. Don’t look away.

I won’t ask you to believe everything I said right away.

But you can’t lose sight of what’s most important.

Lisa...

“Love,” she says? Don’t be stupid!

That’s disgusting!

That’s horrifying... I want to vomit.

Die! Die! Die! Die!

Luke Ainsworth, Cecily Cambell, I hope you fall into the pits of Hell.

Let's go!

Oh!

Yeah!

Oh!

sotto sotto soba ni imasu soyokaze no you ni

Softly, softly, by my side, like a gentle breeze.

shun to suru namida nante kawakaseru you ni

The tears that flowed out were blown dry, just like that.

POKKETTO no naka no chiisa na negai wa

Because the tiny wish inside my pocket

anata no egao dakara

is your smile.

Yeah!

Run, run, even faster.

Even when something sad happens,

let's dash down this road.

Things like maps are always in our hearts.

Tomorrow is a happy day.

Happy day.

Sparkle, miraculous, happy day.

Oh!

Yay!
