1. Okay, finally...
Copy !req
2. Victory!
Copy !req
3. Victory!
Copy !req
4. All right, line up!
Copy !req
5. Yay!
Copy !req
6. Time for your stamps!
Copy !req
7. Okay, who's first?
Copy !req
8. The kitty's so cute!
Copy !req
9. The kitty's awesome!
Copy !req
10. The kitty's so sad!
Copy !req
11. The villagers seem to be full of life again.
Copy !req
12. Thanks to you, Subaru.
Copy !req
13. Well, I did put my life on
the line to save them all.
Copy !req
14. I went into the forest and got
bitten by dogs to save the kids,
Copy !req
15. got bitten by dogs when I tried to save
Rem after she turned into a demon,
Copy !req
16. then had to be saved by Roswaal when
I was about to be bitten by a giant dog...
Copy !req
17. Wait.
Copy !req
18. Did I even do anything at all?
Copy !req
19. Oh, come on! Don't fuss
over the small details!
Copy !req
20. There are those who know the truth.
Copy !req
21. That includes Roswaal and Ram...
Copy !req
22. And especially Rem.
Copy !req
23. And of course,
Copy !req
24. I do, too.
Copy !req
25. A dragon-drawn carriage?
Copy !req
26. Welcome home.
Copy !req
27. Please forgive me for parking
in front of your mansion.
Copy !req
28. An emissary from the capital is visiting.
Copy !req
29. Roswaal-sama is attending to them now.
Copy !req
30. Emilia-sama, please join him.
Copy !req
31. An emissary?
Copy !req
32. I believe it concerns the royal selection.
Copy !req
33. All right...
Copy !req
34. Given the circumstances,
I'll try not to do anything dumb.
Copy !req
35. Um, I'm really sorry, Subaru,
Copy !req
36. but this will be a very important discussion.
Copy !req
37. Aren't you bored waiting out here?
Copy !req
38. It tastes lovely.
Copy !req
39. I feel as though I'm
indulging in a great luxury.
Copy !req
40. It's seriously the most expensive
tea in the mansion.
Copy !req
41. If the pink-haired maid finds out we drank
it without permission, she'll flip.
Copy !req
42. And what is it you hope to gain
Copy !req
43. from this old man, using such precious bait?
Copy !req
44. I only want to know
the reason for this visit.
Copy !req
45. If you could just give me a vague idea...
Copy !req
46. As I have no idea what your
standing is in this mansion,
Copy !req
47. I cannot say anything careless.
Copy !req
48. Please understand.
Copy !req
49. However, I did see that you are
quite close to Emilia-sama.
Copy !req
50. Did it look like things were serious
between Emilia-tan and me?!
Copy !req
51. "Tan"?
Copy !req
52. It is a steep path you climb.
Copy !req
53. You are dealing with one who may
be the future queen of Lugunica.
Copy !req
54. Right now, we're just a super cute
girl and a useless servant boy.
Copy !req
55. You probably think your wife is
the prettiest girl in the world.
Copy !req
56. Isn't that what you thought
when you proposed to her?
Copy !req
57. My wife...
Copy !req
58. I see. You are indeed correct.
Copy !req
59. I believed my wife was the most
beautiful lady in the world.
Copy !req
60. I'm back, Old Man Wil!
Copy !req
61. Sorry to make you wait outside.
Copy !req
62. I bet you were bored, huh?
Copy !req
63. Not at all.
Copy !req
64. This young man has been speaking with me.
Copy !req
65. Ah, nyow I see. Of course.
Copy !req
66. You must be the boy Emilia-sama mentioned.
Copy !req
67. Emilia did?
Copy !req
68. Well, see, we're not
going there just for fun.
Copy !req
69. Let's go, Old Man Wil.
Copy !req
70. See you in the capital.
Copy !req
71. Well, see, we're not going there for fun.
Copy !req
72. I received an important summons—
Copy !req
73. If it's important, all the more reason!
Copy !req
74. You're in a battle for the throne,
right? I want to help you!
Copy !req
75. Please!
Copy !req
76. It seems there are people in the
capital who helped Subaru-kun.
Copy !req
77. This may be a good opportunity
for him to thank them.
Copy !req
78. Nice assist, Rem!
Copy !req
79. That's right!
Copy !req
80. Some people in the capital helped me.
Copy !req
81. I need to let them know I'm okay.
Copy !req
82. Why not?
Copy !req
83. That can be kept separate from
our royal selection business.
Copy !req
84. Subaru-kun should go to the
capital to thank everyone,
Copy !req
85. as well as to receive treatment.
Copy !req
86. Huh? Treatment?
Copy !req
87. You overused your already-exhausted
gate in the mabeast battle.
Copy !req
88. It will treat that wound.
Copy !req
89. You met the emissary earlier, did you not?
Copy !req
90. The cutesy-face with the cat ears?
Copy !req
91. That was one of the capital's most
brilliant users of water magic,
Copy !req
92. as well as healing magic.
Copy !req
93. Felix is a peculiar one,
Copy !req
94. whose cooperation was difficult
even for Emilia-sama to enlist.
Copy !req
95. Hey...
Copy !req
96. Really, Emilia-tan?
Copy !req
97. You did that for me?
Copy !req
98. W-Well, it's partly my fault that
you haven't healed yet...
Copy !req
99. So you could say I'm repaying a debt.
Copy !req
100. It's equal compensation for what you gave up!
Copy !req
101. I was surprised to see you
talking with that boy.
Copy !req
102. I thought you'd rather chop people
in half than talk to them.
Copy !req
103. That is a grave misunderstanding.
Copy !req
104. I merely took a bit of a liking
to that young man's eyes.
Copy !req
105. Those are the eyes of one who has
experienced death several times.
Copy !req
106. Hmm... Nyow you've lost me.
Copy !req
107. But if Wilhelm van Astrea,
the Sword Demon, says it,
Copy !req
108. I'm sure the boy faces quite a bumpy road.
Copy !req
109. You know, Emilia-tan...
Copy !req
110. Maybe we should stop this?
Copy !req
111. Absolutely not!
Copy !req
112. I know you.
Copy !req
113. The moment I look away, you'll
be off doing something crazy.
Copy !req
114. Oh, man! I'm seriously moved!
Copy !req
115. I'm totally fantasying right now, baby!
Copy !req
116. Subaru-kun is so cute.
Copy !req
117. Parallel worlds rul—
Copy !req
118. Subaru!
Copy !req
119. I'm really sorry for that...
Copy !req
120. But this is just treating me like a kid!
Copy !req
121. Even though you wanted to hold
hands on our "date" in the village?
Copy !req
122. I was physically and
mentally prepared for that.
Copy !req
123. This time, I'm not!
Copy !req
124. My hand is sweating like crazy!
Copy !req
125. Would you two cut out the flirting already?
Copy !req
126. You're gonna drive away my customers.
Copy !req
127. After I came to make good on my promise?
Copy !req
128. That's cold, man.
Copy !req
129. Well, I appreciate that you felt obligated
Copy !req
130. to shop here now that
you're not broke anymore.
Copy !req
131. Here are the appas I promised.
Copy !req
132. Next will be Felt and Old Man Rom.
Copy !req
133. I thought we'd wrapped things up
without blame the first time,
Copy !req
134. but then Reinhard's expression went dark,
Copy !req
135. and he took the girl away.
Copy !req
136. That makes it sound like kidnapping,
or an abduction and confinement...
Copy !req
137. Hot guys have really got it good.
Copy !req
138. If we want to contact Reinhard,
Copy !req
139. we should probably go to the guard station
in front of the noblemen's district.
Copy !req
140. Emilia-tan, about the royal selection
that starts tomorrow...
Copy !req
141. Subaru.
Copy !req
142. What did I tell you?
Copy !req
143. I brought you here to fulfill your
promises and to get you healed.
Copy !req
144. You don't have to worry about me.
Copy !req
145. Well, if it isn't Emilia-sama.
Copy !req
146. It's good to see you again.
Copy !req
147. Have you been well since we last met?
Copy !req
148. Yes, everything is basically the same.
Copy !req
149. You also seem well, Julius.
Copy !req
150. The mere fact that you
remember me is an honor.
Copy !req
151. You have only grown more
beautiful, Emilia-sama.
Copy !req
152. Thank you. Forgive me for asking so abruptly,
Copy !req
153. but I have business here, and I'd like
you to act as my agent in the castle.
Copy !req
154. Does your business involve this young man?
Copy !req
155. His character and attitude are
ill-matched with his attire.
Copy !req
156. That's no way to conduct yourself
before one you've just met.
Copy !req
157. Thanks for the warning!
Copy !req
158. I've got a warning for you, too.
Copy !req
159. You shouldn't eat curry udon in that suit.
Copy !req
160. If the soup splatters,
the stains will really stand out.
Copy !req
161. I don't know what "curry udon" is,
Copy !req
162. but I will keep that in mind.
Copy !req
163. Now, allow me to show you
to the conference mirrors.
Copy !req
164. Conference mirrors?
Copy !req
165. It's a metia that allows you to talk
Copy !req
166. with someone through two
mirrors facing each other.
Copy !req
167. Ah, mirrors... How very magical.
Copy !req
168. Subaru, wait here.
Copy !req
169. Huh?
Copy !req
170. I don't think it would be a
pleasant experience for you.
Copy !req
171. I've already had an experience
that wasn't pleasant.
Copy !req
172. That bastard, licking all over your
cute little hand as if he owned it...
Copy !req
173. I'll try to come back before things run too long.
Copy !req
174. Be good and wait, okay?
Copy !req
175. Please?
Copy !req
176. I look so pathetic.
Copy !req
177. That's a bold thing to do in
front of the guard station.
Copy !req
178. "It's darkest at the foot
of the lighthouse," I guess.
Copy !req
179. You little...
Copy !req
180. Don't screw around with us!
Copy !req
181. Want us to mess up that pretty face of yours?
Copy !req
182. Don't make such a racket, commoners.
Copy !req
183. Fools with no character pick fights
for the most foolish reasons.
Copy !req
184. Sorry I'm late, honey!
Copy !req
185. It looks like there's been a bit of trouble,
Copy !req
186. but remember who I am
and cut me some slack.
Copy !req
187. Come on, let's go.
Copy !req
188. Do not touch me as if you know me!
Copy !req
189. Cliffhanger...
Copy !req
190. I don't want drooling commoners
following me around.
Copy !req
191. Figure out what's going on!
Copy !req
192. It was supposed to be the classic scenario
where I save a girl from hoodlums!
Copy !req
193. Wait, no way.
Copy !req
194. Are you three the only
hoodlums in the capital?
Copy !req
195. We met this guy in the alley
behind the shopping district.
Copy !req
196. It's the brat from back then?
Copy !req
197. So, for my sake, could you just let us—
Copy !req
198. Are you dumb?
Copy !req
199. This just makes it three on two,
instead of three on one.
Copy !req
200. You should correct that.
Copy !req
201. It isn't three on two,
but three on one on one.
Copy !req
202. Would you be quiet for a second?!
Copy !req
203. I have no choice.
Copy !req
204. This is the last trick
I wanted to use, but...
Copy !req
205. Just so you know, I know Reinhard-san.
Copy !req
206. If I call for him, he'll come running!
Copy !req
207. Secret Technique: Fox in Tiger's Clothing!
Copy !req
208. Been a while since I've seen you.
Copy !req
209. What're ya doing here?
Copy !req
210. Old Man Rom!
Copy !req
211. Damn you!
Copy !req
212. We won't forget this!
Copy !req
213. You saved me, Old Man Rom.
Copy !req
214. I doubt this girl and I
could've handled that alone.
Copy !req
215. Don't misunderstand.
Copy !req
216. Even without you two, I was in no trouble.
Copy !req
217. Say what?
Copy !req
218. "I didn't need your help. I'm super
strong! I was doing just fine!"
Copy !req
219. Something like that?
Copy !req
220. No.
Copy !req
221. This world is designed to operate in
the way that works best for me,
Copy !req
222. so I am never at a disadvantage.
Copy !req
223. R-Really?
Copy !req
224. Well, I shouldn't have butted in, then.
Copy !req
225. Sorry to interfere.
Copy !req
226. By the way, boy,
Copy !req
227. do ya know where Felt went off to?
Copy !req
228. You didn't hear?
Copy !req
229. Apparently, Reinhard took her away.
Copy !req
230. Reinhard...
Copy !req
231. It had to be an Astrea, eh?
Copy !req
232. Something wrong?
Copy !req
233. Nah, just talkin' to myself.
Copy !req
234. You try not to cause any
more trouble, y'hear?
Copy !req
235. S-Sure.
Copy !req
236. I finally found you!
Copy !req
237. Oh, Emili—
Copy !req
238. Wait, wait, wait!
Copy !req
239. You can't just pick up
Emilia-tan while I'm away!
Copy !req
240. Looks like your buddy's got
a screw loose, little lady.
Copy !req
241. He's more worried about losing you to
another man than happy to see you.
Copy !req
242. A man's heart is so complex,
it's a thrill to watch.
Copy !req
243. You've got a pretty messed-up
fashion sense yourself!
Copy !req
244. Now, that's no way to talk to someone.
Copy !req
245. I can overlook that since I'm
a cool, good-natured man,
Copy !req
246. but some might lop off your head for that.
Copy !req
247. Relax, Subaru. His outfit surprised me, too.
Copy !req
248. Yeah, well...
Copy !req
249. I was surprised when she asked for my help
while I was looking for a lost child, too.
Copy !req
250. Emilia-tan, you're too soft-hearted.
Copy !req
251. Most would think a guy dressed like this
Copy !req
252. who's looking for a lost
child is gonna kidnap them.
Copy !req
253. My, how attentive of you to wait
where you knew I would be.
Copy !req
254. I commend your dedication, Al.
Copy !req
255. You were the lost child?!
Copy !req
256. Well, it looks like we both found
who we were looking for. Let's go.
Copy !req
257. Wait.
Copy !req
258. What is in that bag?
Copy !req
259. They're appas.
Copy !req
260. Haven't you ever seen one?
Copy !req
261. Don't make me laugh.
Copy !req
262. Appas have white flesh.
Copy !req
263. Well, yeah, the insides are white...
Copy !req
264. Wait, so you've never
seen an unpeeled appa?
Copy !req
265. For you.
Copy !req
266. Don't go skipping off after
any bad guys again, okay?
Copy !req
267. Subaru...
Copy !req
268. That girl from before...
Copy !req
269. Huh?
Copy !req
270. Where did you meet that girl?
Copy !req
271. And how?
Copy !req
272. What's this, Emilia-tan? Are you jealous?
Copy !req
273. Are you actually getting jealous over me?
Copy !req
274. Subaru...
Copy !req
275. H-Huh? Emilia-tan, why the serious face?
Copy !req
276. N-Nothing... If you don't know, it's fine.
Copy !req
277. Forget about it.
Copy !req
278. Oh! It really is an appa!
Copy !req
279. What? I have to stay here tomorrow?!
Copy !req
280. Of course you do.
Copy !req
281. That was our agreement all along.
Copy !req
282. Yeah, but we never got in
touch with Reinhard, right?
Copy !req
283. So if we go to the castle tomorrow,
we might see him...
Copy !req
284. I'll be sure to ask about Felt.
Copy !req
285. But I should go in person to—
Copy !req
286. This is exactly why I can't take you with me.
Copy !req
287. If I do, you'll push yourself too hard again.
Copy !req
288. I don't want to let you do that. Understand?
Copy !req
289. You're the one who doesn't understand!
Copy !req
290. If I have to push myself to help you, I will.
Copy !req
291. I want to push myself!
Copy !req
292. Absolutely not.
Copy !req
293. Until your body fully heals,
Copy !req
294. no using magic or pushing yourself!
Copy !req
295. Promise me, Subaru.
Copy !req
296. All right. I promise.
Copy !req
297. I won't use magic.
Copy !req
298. So let me go with you!
Copy !req
299. I can't bring an outsider into this.
Copy !req
300. So please, just wait here
with Rem, all right?
Copy !req
301. I'm asking you, Subaru.
Copy !req
302. Give me reason to trust you.
Copy !req
303. I know there are those in the capital
who consider Emilia an enemy.
Copy !req
304. That's why I have to stay close to her.
Copy !req
305. What's the matter?
Copy !req
306. I'm going to save Emilia.
Copy !req
307. And to do that...
Copy !req
308. Stare...
Copy !req
309. Wh-What is it, Subaru-kun?
Copy !req
310. It makes me uncomfortable when you
stare at me with such imposing eyes...
Copy !req
311. Stare...
Copy !req
312. It's at the castle.
Copy !req
313. There will likely be heavy security, though.
Copy !req
314. Security isn't the problem.
Copy !req
315. I can't stand not being involved
in Emilia's important affairs.
Copy !req
316. Subaru-kun...
Copy !req
317. I'm only of any use when something happens.
Copy !req
318. So I want to be with her when
important things are going on!
Copy !req
319. I am now going to set about making a new
appa recipe that I just came up with.
Copy !req
320. It will require intense concentration,
Copy !req
321. so if someone were to leave his room,
Copy !req
322. I most likely wouldn't notice.
Copy !req
323. I'm such a scumbag for relying
on Rem all the time...
Copy !req
324. But the problem is how I'm
gonna get into the castle.
Copy !req
325. I guess times like this call for that...
Copy !req
326. Hitchhiking!
Copy !req
327. You sure are lucky, bro.
Be grateful for this coincidence.
Copy !req
328. We just happened to be on our
way to the castle, too.
Copy !req
329. The castle? What for?
Copy !req
330. There is only one reason to
head to the castle today.
Copy !req
331. Oh, you didn't know?
Copy !req
332. This young lady here
Copy !req
333. is one of the candidates to succeed
to the throne of Lugunica,
Copy !req
334. Priscilla Barielle-sama herself.
Copy !req
335. For real? So why did you pick me up?
Copy !req
336. For no other reason than it seemed amusing.
Copy !req
337. A mere lark.
Copy !req
338. Taking you to the castle will
make things interesting.
Copy !req
339. Interesting?
Copy !req
340. This world is designed to operate in
the way that works best for me,
Copy !req
341. so it's a given that all things
will work in my favor.
Copy !req
342. It's only a matter of choosing whether
something amuses me or not.
Copy !req
343. However, if I had to name a reason
other than amusement...
Copy !req
344. Your appa handler?
Copy !req
345. Indeed. He is something of a wretched clown
Copy !req
346. whose sole priority is to bring
me bittersweet red appas.
Copy !req
347. Everyone is waiting inside.
Copy !req
348. Make haste, please.
Copy !req
349. It is my privilege as their superior
to keep the masses waiting.
Copy !req
350. Subaru?
Copy !req
351. Um... Emilia, I...
Copy !req
352. Is there a reason you're staring
at my manservant, half-wit?
Copy !req
353. Get off! You'll give
Emilia-tan the wrong idea!
Copy !req
354. My, how nice to see you, Priscilla-sama!
Copy !req
355. Do forgive my servant for troubling you so.
Copy !req
356. Why are you here, Subaru?
Copy !req
357. Didn't I tell you to be good and wait for me?
Copy !req
358. Don't you remember?
Copy !req
359. The council of wise men will now enter.
Copy !req
360. The wise men...
Copy !req
361. They're the people managing the country
in the king's absence, right?
Copy !req
362. Hey. That's where we're supposed to stand.
Copy !req
363. I can stand there, too?
Copy !req
364. Well, now...
Copy !req
365. It sounds amusing, so you
may accompany him.
Copy !req
366. Wait, Roswaal!
Copy !req
367. If Subaru is allowed to stay, he'll—
Copy !req
368. Emilia-sama, the conference is beginning.
Copy !req
369. To the center.
Copy !req
370. You're going to explain this to me later!
Copy !req
371. So those are the participants
in the royal selection...
Copy !req
372. The candidates to be the future ruler?
Copy !req
373. So you came after all, Subaru.
Copy !req
374. When I heard Emilia-sama would be here,
Copy !req
375. I suspected you'd be here, as well.
Copy !req
376. Reinhard, I've been looking for you!
Copy !req
377. Hiya, Subaru-kyun!
Copy !req
378. You!
Copy !req
379. Oh, Subaru, you know him?
Copy !req
380. Huh? "Him"?
Copy !req
381. Yes. He is a knight, Felix Argyle.
Copy !req
382. Despite appearances, he is male.
Copy !req
383. What's the point in having those looks,
and even cat ears, if you're a guy?!
Copy !req
384. I don't knyow what to tell you.
Copy !req
385. You're the one who made the
wrong assumption, Subaru-kyun.
Copy !req
386. Subaru, what's the matter?
Copy !req
387. Where I'm from, this is the face you
make when you see a romantic rival!
Copy !req
388. Now, if I may be so forward,
Copy !req
389. I, Marcos, leader of the Imperial Knights,
Copy !req
390. will direct today's proceedings.
Copy !req
391. It all happened about half a year ago,
Copy !req
392. when members of the royal family,
starting with the king,
Copy !req
393. went into hiding one by one, causing—
Copy !req
394. Listen...
Copy !req
395. I get that you wanna talk up a good
show here, but I'm busy, y'know.
Copy !req
396. As we say in Kararagi, "Time is money."
Copy !req
397. Wait, the Kansai dialect? Are you kidding me?
Copy !req
398. If you're just gonna repeat
what we already know,
Copy !req
399. then why did y'all even gather us here?
Copy !req
400. Evidently, everyone in western
Kararagi talks that way.
Copy !req
401. I agree.
Copy !req
402. Crusch-sama, should the head of the
Karsten family say such a thing?
Copy !req
403. It is important to observe formality,
Copy !req
404. but it is also a fact that our time is limited.
Copy !req
405. It would be wise to immediately
inform us why we are here.
Copy !req
406. Naturally, I do have a general idea.
Copy !req
407. You already know the purpose of this meeting?
Copy !req
408. Yes, Lord Miklotov.
Copy !req
409. For a drinking party, correct?
Copy !req
410. One day, we will face each other as rivals,
Copy !req
411. but by sharing drinks at the same table,
Copy !req
412. we will learn more about one another.
Copy !req
413. No, that is not correct.
Copy !req
414. Felis, this isn't what you told me.
Copy !req
415. Oh, come on.
Copy !req
416. All I said was, "Maybe
it'll be a drinking party."
Copy !req
417. I see. I jumped to conclusions.
Copy !req
418. Forgive me. Allow me to retract
everything I just said.
Copy !req
419. Hey, now!
Copy !req
420. Even if she backs down,
my opinion ain't gonna change.
Copy !req
421. No need to explain the royal selection now.
Copy !req
422. We already know.
Copy !req
423. Right?
Copy !req
424. I think we should hear the—
Copy !req
425. Sorry, but I wasn't askin' for your opinion.
Copy !req
426. Why, you—
Copy !req
427. Hey!
Copy !req
428. I don't know what's up with the royal
selection, so I'd kinda like to hear the rest.
Copy !req
429. Priscilla-sama, I'm told
this man is your knight.
Copy !req
430. Have you explained the selection to him?
Copy !req
431. Whether I have or not, you men
will still ramble on about it, yes?
Copy !req
432. Continue, Marcos.
Copy !req
433. Then...
Copy !req
434. The reason we've gathered you who are
qualified to be the dragon's priestess
Copy !req
435. is because a new prophecy has been
engraved in the Dragon Stone.
Copy !req
436. It says, "From the five capable of
becoming the nation's new leader,
Copy !req
437. choose one priestess to enter into
a covenant with the dragon."
Copy !req
438. Five?
Copy !req
439. Yes, five.
Copy !req
440. Currently, there are only four candidates.
Copy !req
441. The royal selection hadn't even begun yet.
Copy !req
442. But today,
Copy !req
443. history is set in motion.
Copy !req
444. Knight Reinhard van Astrea, come forward.
Copy !req
445. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
446. Honored members of the council of wise men,
Copy !req
447. I, Reinhard van Astrea
of the Imperial Knights,
Copy !req
448. would like to announce the
completion of my mission.
Copy !req
449. The dragon's priestess, the fifth and
final candidate for the throne,
Copy !req
450. has been located.
Copy !req
451. The one I, myself, revere as queen...
Copy !req
452. Her name...
Copy !req
453. is Felt-sama.
Copy !req
454. Return to the Capital
Copy !req
