1. Felt-sama, thank you for gracing us
with your presence.Copy !req
2. Reinhard...Copy !req
3. You bastard!Copy !req
4. You dragged me here with no explanation,
and what do you call all this?!Copy !req
5. You surprised me.Copy !req
6. What's brought on such behavior?Copy !req
7. Don't just stop my kick and ask me
that like nothing happened!Copy !req
8. I've had just about all I can take!Copy !req
9. Does the dress not suit your taste?Copy !req
10. It looks lovely on you.Copy !req
11. I'm not talking about the dress,
and I'm not embarrassed!Copy !req
12. That's the girl from...Copy !req
13. I guess it's not that easy to change
someone at their roots.Copy !req
14. And not just me.Copy !req
15. What the heck are you doing here?Copy !req
16. Hey, it's been a while. How've you be—Copy !req
17. Randaba!Copy !req
18. Looks like the hole in your gut
isn't bothering you anymore.Copy !req
19. If you were worried about that,
be nice to me!Copy !req
20. Felt-sama, if you have finished
rekindling old friendships,Copy !req
21. please step over here.Copy !req
22. So, what is it you want me to do?Copy !req
23. I would like to say,
"To act more like a lady,"Copy !req
24. but this comes first.Copy !req
25. As you can see,Copy !req
26. the dragon gem has recognized
Felt-sama as a priestess.Copy !req
27. Now that her participation has been approved,Copy !req
28. I believe it is time to begin
the royal selection in earnest.Copy !req
29. Even if the Dragon Stone has recognized her,Copy !req
30. do you not think her selection
is a bit problematic?Copy !req
31. You believe we, the Imperial Knights,
have made an error?Copy !req
32. The air's getting kind of dicey in here...Copy !req
33. Yeah, it doesn't bother me, though.Copy !req
34. It's nyo big deal to me, either.Copy !req
35. After all, I've already pledged my
loyalty exclusively to one lady!Copy !req
36. I feel the same.Copy !req
37. My sword already belongs to Anastasia-sama.Copy !req
38. Well, my feelings for Emilia won't
come in second to anyone else's!Copy !req
39. She doesn't have the self-awareness
to become a ruler.Copy !req
40. You may dress her up,
but she still lacks grace.Copy !req
41. She's uneducated, as well.Copy !req
42. Silence!Copy !req
43. Knight Reinhard,Copy !req
44. would you begin by explaining to us
what led you to her discovery?Copy !req
45. I took custody of Felt-sama about
one month ago, in the slums.Copy !req
46. She's a gutter rat from the slums?!Copy !req
47. Well, sorry for being a gutter rat!Copy !req
48. You were the ones who dragged
me here against my will!Copy !req
49. All of this long-winded blather
could not be more tedious.Copy !req
50. Of course, I suppose you lived as a gutter ratCopy !req
51. in the slums because you could only
manage tedious conversation.Copy !req
52. What? If you want a fight, you've got one.Copy !req
53. What insolence.Copy !req
54. Who do you think I am?Copy !req
55. Princess, that's not...Copy !req
56. Many pardons, Priscilla-sama.Copy !req
57. What are you thinking,
in a hallowed place like this?Copy !req
58. I was only trying to teach an
undisciplined little bitch her place.Copy !req
59. You won't even apologize?Copy !req
60. Then, will you also apologize for being born?Copy !req
61. You silver-haired half-elf.Copy !req
62. I'm not connected to the witch at all...Copy !req
63. Princess, could you drop it now?Copy !req
64. I'll be the one to suffer if you
make too many enemies, seriously.Copy !req
65. Are you all quite finished?Copy !req
66. Then, royal selection candidates,
please come forth.Copy !req
67. Priscilla Barielle-sama and her attendant, Al.Copy !req
68. This selection is pointless.Copy !req
69. I am the one suited to rule this nation!Copy !req
70. All you people need to do is
grovel at my feet and serve me!Copy !req
71. Head of the Karsten family,
Crusch Karsten-sama,Copy !req
72. and her attendant, the knight Felix Argyle.Copy !req
73. Should I become the new ruler,Copy !req
74. I will make the dragon forget
the covenant it demanded.Copy !req
75. The Dragon's Empire of Lugunica
belongs not to the dragon,Copy !req
76. but to us.Copy !req
77. Anastasia Hoshin-sama
of the Hoshin Company,Copy !req
78. and her attendant, the knight Julius Euclius.Copy !req
79. I'm a greedy gal, so I want everything.Copy !req
80. No amount of commercial
success can satisfy me.Copy !req
81. I want my own nation!Copy !req
82. Emilia-sama and the man endorsing her,Copy !req
83. Margrave Roswaal L. Mathers.Copy !req
84. I have only one wish.Copy !req
85. For all to be equal.Copy !req
86. I desire to create a nation
where all citizens are equal.Copy !req
87. Still, after the introduction of
all those knights as attendants,Copy !req
88. I feel terribly out of place here!Copy !req
89. Finally, Felt-sama and her attendant,Copy !req
90. the knight Reinhard van Astrea.Copy !req
91. Hang on! Don't get the wrong idea!Copy !req
92. I never said I'd be the next ruler!Copy !req
93. Who'd want to be in a royal selection?!Copy !req
94. Are you saying you withdraw
from the selection?Copy !req
95. Damn right I am!Copy !req
96. This is a joke!Copy !req
97. I've overlooked this because
the situation was urgent,Copy !req
98. but to drag it out this long is senseless!Copy !req
99. He's right.Copy !req
100. The Astrea family offers
a gutter rat to rule us,Copy !req
101. while Margrave Mathers endorses
a half-devil? Utter foolishness!Copy !req
102. It's not at all nice to call
a half-elf a "half-devil."Copy !req
103. That silver-haired half-devilCopy !req
104. matches the appearance of the Witch of Envy as it has been described for generations!Copy !req
105. Why do you not realize that even allowing
her in the throne room is dreadful?Copy !req
106. Filthy woman!Copy !req
107. Enough of your crap!Copy !req
108. Subaru, it's all right! Stop this!Copy !req
109. I will not stop!Copy !req
110. You people are full of crap!Copy !req
111. Apologize to Emilia!Copy !req
112. Subaru!Copy !req
113. Allow me to formally introduce myself
to the honored council of elders.Copy !req
114. My name is Emilia.Copy !req
115. I am accompanied by Puck,
a great spirit who controls fire,Copy !req
116. and I am a silver-haired half-elf.Copy !req
117. A great spirit?Copy !req
118. I understand that my half-elf lineageCopy !req
119. and other similarities to the witch
subject me to prejudice.Copy !req
120. However...Copy !req
121. I adamantly refuse to let all my potential
be plucked out simply for that reason.Copy !req
122. Emilia...Copy !req
123. By the way...Copy !req
124. What, exactly, is that young man's position?Copy !req
125. Huh? Um, well, he's...Copy !req
126. It's okay, Emilia. I've made up my mind, too.Copy !req
127. Your mind? To do what?Copy !req
128. Hey... Subaru, what are you going to do?Copy !req
129. Wait!Copy !req
130. Nice to meet you, members
of the council of elders.Copy !req
131. My name is Natsuki Subaru.Copy !req
132. I am a manservant in Roswaal's mansion,
and I serve as this candidate's...Copy !req
133. Emilia-sama's best knight!Copy !req
134. Hmm... A knight, is he?Copy !req
135. Ah, he knows little of our world...Copy !req
136. Forgive me for interrupting,Copy !req
137. but there is something I must ask him...Copy !req
138. If you truly proclaim yourself
to be Emilia-sama's knight.Copy !req
139. What do you mean by that?Copy !req
140. You just declared that you are a knight.Copy !req
141. And you audaciously did so here,
before the Knights of Lugunica!Copy !req
142. That was pretty well-coordinated.Copy !req
143. Did you guys practice that
just for this meeting?Copy !req
144. Of course.Copy !req
145. To make known to all the
dignity of our empire,Copy !req
146. we are highly conscious
every day of who we are.Copy !req
147. Do you have the resolve to match that?Copy !req
148. I want to make Emilia-sama the ruler.Copy !req
149. No, I will make her the ruler!Copy !req
150. And you believe you have the
resolve and strength to do that?Copy !req
151. I don't have anything as grand as resolve,Copy !req
152. and I'm well aware that I lack strength.Copy !req
153. But I'm going to make Emilia the ruler!Copy !req
154. I'm going to make her wish come true!Copy !req
155. Do you not feel that your answer
is far too arrogant?Copy !req
156. Weakness is something to be
ashamed of, not to take pride in.Copy !req
157. Have you worked hard to earn
the right to stand here?Copy !req
158. Have you done enough service to shame us,Copy !req
159. the Imperial Knights?Copy !req
160. I'm still going to make Emilia the ruler!Copy !req
161. I don't understand.Copy !req
162. After being so denied,Copy !req
163. why do you continue to stand here?Copy !req
164. Because she's special!Copy !req
165. I understand and accept your
reason for standing there.Copy !req
166. But I do not think I can
acknowledge you as a knight.Copy !req
167. What are you...Copy !req
168. Anyone who inspires such an expressionCopy !req
169. on the face of one they wish to
stand beside is not a knight.Copy !req
170. I-Is being a knight that big a deal?Copy !req
171. You just happened to be born into the job!Copy !req
172. Don't act like a big-shot
with your daddy's name!Copy !req
173. Natsuki Subaru,Copy !req
174. that is not a beautiful look.Copy !req
175. That's enough, Subaru.Copy !req
176. I am deeply sorry to waste your time.Copy !req
177. I'll make him stand down.Copy !req
178. Emilia-sama,Copy !req
179. if nothing else, he has shown us all
that you are not one to be feared.Copy !req
180. You have a fine attendant.Copy !req
181. Subaru isCopy !req
182. not my attendant.Copy !req
183. Natsuki Subaru-dono, please leave the room.Copy !req
184. Now, let us discuss how the
royal selection will proceed.Copy !req
185. What's going on?!Copy !req
186. What are you doing?Copy !req
187. Old Man Rom!Copy !req
188. I don't know who you are,Copy !req
189. but for stealing into
the castle, you must die.Copy !req
190. Stop! Let him go!Copy !req
191. Unfortunately, I cannot comply.Copy !req
192. You have publicly declared thatCopy !req
193. you have no intention of participating
in the royal selection.Copy !req
194. I am not obligated to obey your orders.Copy !req
195. Fine!Copy !req
196. I'll do your stupid royal selection!Copy !req
197. You want me to try to be
the next ruler, right?Copy !req
198. Wh-What're you sayin', Felt?Copy !req
199. That old man is my family.Copy !req
200. So let him go right now.Copy !req
201. Treat him with care!Copy !req
202. Very well.Copy !req
203. Felt... I...Copy !req
204. We'll talk later, Old Man Rom.Copy !req
205. Hey, Reinhard,Copy !req
206. was this all part of your plan, too?Copy !req
207. Certainly not.Copy !req
208. This was something far greater,
guided by fate.Copy !req
209. Are you a slave to fate or something?Copy !req
210. No.Copy !req
211. From now on, I am your knight.Copy !req
212. Fine, then.Copy !req
213. I'll work you to death.Copy !req
214. Now, Felt-sama and her knight, Reinhard,Copy !req
215. may we conclude that you both intend
to participate in the royal selection?Copy !req
216. Sure, I'm in.Copy !req
217. But let me just say one thing.Copy !req
218. I hate the nobility!Copy !req
219. I hate knights!Copy !req
220. I hate this kingdom!Copy !req
221. I hate everything about it!Copy !req
222. So I'm planning to tear it all down!Copy !req
223. How about that?Copy !req
224. Wh-What are you saying?!Copy !req
225. If I become the next ruler,Copy !req
226. I'll destroy everything! I'll take
down every last one of you,Copy !req
227. and bring a little fresh
air into this country!Copy !req
228. Your mistress is quite the intense lady.Copy !req
229. Felt-sama's words will one
day reach the ears of all.Copy !req
230. In any case,Copy !req
231. all of the candidates are here at last.Copy !req
232. The royal selection will now begin!Copy !req
233. And so, the royal selection
has finally begun, Subaru.Copy !req
234. Subaru-kyun, you're Emilia-sama's
knight, aren't nya?Copy !req
235. Let's both do our best.Copy !req
236. Forgive me for interrupting.Copy !req
237. What the hell are you doing here?Copy !req
238. I wish you wouldn't make
such an unpleasant face.Copy !req
239. I didn't expect you to warmly welcome me,Copy !req
240. but if you take that attitude—Copy !req
241. If I do, then what?Copy !req
242. The respectability of those in your
company will come into question.Copy !req
243. Do be careful.Copy !req
244. Now, you asked me why
I'm here, did you not?Copy !req
245. I came to see you, of course.Copy !req
246. I'd like you to come with me for a bit.Copy !req
247. Julius, you shouldn't do this.Copy !req
248. It's not like you.Copy !req
249. He insulted us knights in front of the
candidates to be our future ruler,Copy !req
250. and he made light of the
chivalry we practice.Copy !req
251. I admit that he said some
things that went too far.Copy !req
252. But for such a matter, he need
only be warned and corrected.Copy !req
253. No, this is not only my problem.Copy !req
254. I hereby administerCopy !req
255. the death penalty to this insubordinate man
who has sullied the knighthood's honor!Copy !req
256. Normally, it wouldn't be unusual
for you to be slain for insolence.Copy !req
257. However, much to my dismay,
you are Emilia-sama's attendant.Copy !req
258. Therefore, we will fight using wooden swords.Copy !req
259. Shall we begin?Copy !req
260. Sure! I'm not gonna hold back!Copy !req
261. It appears you truly have no pride.Copy !req
262. What a simple, vulgar way to live.Copy !req
263. Reporting!Copy !req
264. The knight Julius and Natsuki
Subaru-dono are having a mock battleCopy !req
265. with wooden swords in the training ring!Copy !req
266. How did that happen? I have to—Copy !req
267. I just wanna know one thing.Copy !req
268. Which one of 'em issued the challenge?Copy !req
269. I'm told it was the knight Julius.Copy !req
270. Natsuki Subaru-dono accepted,Copy !req
271. leading to this fight.Copy !req
272. Well, I'm against stopping them, then.Copy !req
273. But your knight and my,
um... friend are fighting!Copy !req
274. Aren't you worried?Copy !req
275. Worried? About what?Copy !req
276. That Julius will go too far,Copy !req
277. and I'll have to pay for your boy's treatment?Copy !req
278. If we're questioning their mock battle,Copy !req
279. I can't agree with stopping it
before they finish, either.Copy !req
280. If they're just duking it out,Copy !req
281. you could've waited until it ended
and told us who won.Copy !req
282. Yes, ma'am! But the fight was, well...Copy !req
283. It was just so one-sided that I...Copy !req
284. I have to stop it!Copy !req
285. We should go, too.Copy !req
286. You like watching weak creatures be
tormented by vicious beasts, don't you?Copy !req
287. Don't misjudge me with your
own unfounded imaginings, Al.Copy !req
288. But yes, I do love that.Copy !req
289. Why don't you admit that
you've reached your limit?Copy !req
290. I'm sure you've now realized
to a painful extentCopy !req
291. just what the knights that you insulted
and made light of really are!Copy !req
292. I believe continuing would endanger your life.Copy !req
293. Damn it.Copy !req
294. I'll break...Copy !req
295. that nose of yours!Copy !req
296. I'll crush you!Copy !req
297. Subaru!Copy !req
298. Don't, Subaru!Copy !req
299. Shamac!Copy !req
300. This was the ace up your sleeve?Copy !req
301. Your skill level is far too low.Copy !req
302. Such low-level magicCopy !req
303. will only work on unintelligent beasts!Copy !req
304. You are irredeemably powerless.Copy !req
305. You aren't worthy to stand at her side.Copy !req
306. Subaru!Copy !req
307. So I didn't die, then...Copy !req
308. Subaru.Copy !req
309. That talk with the royal candidates...Copy !req
310. Subaru.Copy !req
311. I see.Copy !req
312. Let's head straight back, then.Copy !req
313. We need to work out a plan for the selec—Copy !req
314. Subaru.Copy !req
315. Let's talk, okay?Copy !req
316. I have some things I want to ask you.Copy !req
317. A lot of things.Copy !req
318. Yeah, I guess you do...Copy !req
319. Why did you end up, well...
fighting with Julius?Copy !req
320. There must have been a reason, right?Copy !req
321. Knowing you, it must've been important—Copy !req
322. I wanted to get him back.Copy !req
323. Huh?Copy !req
324. I was being stubborn.Copy !req
325. He said I was pathetic, powerless,
and not worthy of you.Copy !req
326. He was trying to distance me
from you, and I hated it.Copy !req
327. That's why I fought him.Copy !req
328. Just for that?Copy !req
329. Emilia-tan...Copy !req
330. Emilia, you wouldn't understand.Copy !req
331. I see.Copy !req
332. Roswaal and I will be heading
back to the mansion tomorrow.Copy !req
333. You will stay in the capital to recover.Copy !req
334. Wait a minute...Copy !req
335. Huh?Copy !req
336. That was our agreement, wasn't it?Copy !req
337. But wait a—Copy !req
338. You came to the capital so Felis
could heal your exhausted gate.Copy !req
339. No, wait a minute!Copy !req
340. How can you suddenly... I...Copy !req
341. Because...Copy !req
342. When I'm with you, you always push
yourself to do impossible things.Copy !req
343. That's not what I'm saying! I just...Copy !req
344. "Just"?Copy !req
345. I just wanted to do something for you, so I...Copy !req
346. For me?Copy !req
347. It was for you, wasn't it?Copy !req
348. No... I just wanted to do something for you...Copy !req
349. Stop telling lies about how
everything is for my sake!Copy !req
350. Coming to the castle,
fighting Julius, using magic...Copy !req
351. Are you saying that was all for me?Copy !req
352. I never asked you to do any of that!Copy !req
353. Hey, do you remember
what I asked you to do?Copy !req
354. I...Copy !req
355. I asked you to wait at the lodging with Rem.Copy !req
356. I asked you not to use magic because
using any more would endanger you.Copy !req
357. I'm sorry I didn't do as you asked.Copy !req
358. B-But you're wrong. You're wrong!Copy !req
359. I didn't do it for myself...Copy !req
360. You won't believe me, Emilia?Copy !req
361. I want to.Copy !req
362. I want to believe you, Subaru.Copy !req
363. I want to...Copy !req
364. But you're the one who won't
give me a reason to!Copy !req
365. You promised me...Copy !req
366. But you threw it away, just like that,
and came all the way here!Copy !req
367. You won't keep your promise to me,Copy !req
368. and you ask me to believe you?Copy !req
369. I can't do that! I can't!Copy !req
370. Hey, Subaru...Copy !req
371. Why do you keep trying to help me like this?Copy !req
372. Because you helped me.Copy !req
373. I... helped you?Copy !req
374. Yes.Copy !req
375. You don't even realizeCopy !req
376. how the things you've done
for me have saved me.Copy !req
377. No, I don't, Subaru.Copy !req
378. I don't expect you to!Copy !req
379. But it's true! You saved me!Copy !req
380. So everything I've done has been to repay you!Copy !req
381. I told you, I don't understand!Copy !req
382. Maybe you don't, but please listen to me!Copy !req
383. It's the truth!Copy !req
384. You were the...Copy !req
385. When I first came to this world, you were the—Copy !req
386. Once again, you won't tell me anything.Copy !req
387. Why won't you understand?Copy !req
388. I thoughtCopy !req
389. if anyone could understand,Copy !req
390. it'd be you...Copy !req
391. The version of me that lives within
you must be amazing.Copy !req
392. She can understand everything,Copy !req
393. even if you don't explain it to her.Copy !req
394. She can feel all your pain, sadness,
and anger as her own.Copy !req
395. I can't understand if you
don't tell me, Subaru.Copy !req
396. I've...Copy !req
397. All this time,Copy !req
398. I've made everything work
out all right, haven't I?!Copy !req
399. When your insignia was stolen, I saved you
from an insane killer at the loot house!Copy !req
400. I risked my life!Copy !req
401. All because you were important to me!Copy !req
402. At the mansion, too!Copy !req
403. Things worked out because of me!Copy !req
404. Without me, it would've been a lot worse!Copy !req
405. All of it, all of it, all of it!Copy !req
406. All of it was because I was there!Copy !req
407. You should have a greater debt to me
than you could ever repay!Copy !req
408. You're right.Copy !req
409. I owe you so many debts, Subaru.Copy !req
410. Yeah, that's right! That's why I...Copy !req
411. So I'll repay all of them now,Copy !req
412. and we'll end this.Copy !req
413. You've done enough, Natsuki Subaru.Copy !req
414. You know, I had hope for you.Copy !req
415. I thought maybe you,Copy !req
416. only you, wouldn't give
me special treatment.Copy !req
417. That you'd look at meCopy !req
418. in the exact same way you
look at everyone else.Copy !req
419. I can't do that.Copy !req
420. I can't look at you the way I look at others.Copy !req
421. It's impossible.Copy !req
422. Self-Proclaimed Knight
Natsuki SubaruCopy !req
