1. Just now joining us, Julius?Copy !req
2. Thanks for gracing us with your presence.Copy !req
3. Please, you're going to ruin my reputation.Copy !req
4. But I am not the man called "Julius."Copy !req
5. Let's see...Copy !req
6. Perhaps I'll go by "Juli."Copy !req
7. Even if it is temporary,Copy !req
8. a man with the status of a knight
must never lower himselfCopy !req
9. to the rank of mercenary.Copy !req
10. The man you see here is not
Julius Euclius, the knight,Copy !req
11. but a simple wanderer called Juli.Copy !req
12. A proper household's code of
chivalry is a real pain, huh?Copy !req
13. Bull.Copy !req
14. It seems you're doing better than I expected.Copy !req
15. How are you feeling?Copy !req
16. Well, it was just some scratches!Copy !req
17. A little spit fixed them right up, pretty much!Copy !req
18. What about you?Copy !req
19. Been busy writing letters of apologyCopy !req
20. for fighting so seriously with an amateur?Copy !req
21. I didn't mean that.Copy !req
22. I was talking about the damage to your
honor by the mabeast subjugation.Copy !req
23. But I'm glad your wounds from
before seem to have healed.Copy !req
24. We succeeded in taking out the
White Whale thanks to all of you.Copy !req
25. But it's not over yet.Copy !req
26. I have to settle a score with the Witch's
Cult guys who picked a fight with me.Copy !req
27. Once that's done,Copy !req
28. the White Whale subjugation will be complete.Copy !req
29. The Witch's Cult is next?Copy !req
30. Can we trust the allegations that the White
Whale and the Witch's Cult are connected?Copy !req
31. We only came as reinforcements for
the White Whale's subjugation—Copy !req
32. What was that for?Copy !req
33. If you can't believe him,Copy !req
34. then you just need to believe me!Copy !req
35. I'd prefer it if you believed me, though.Copy !req
36. I don't like to recall it,Copy !req
37. but I've run up against
the Witch's Cult before.Copy !req
38. I found out then.Copy !req
39. Didn't you look into that, Old Man Wil?Copy !req
40. I wouldn't call it definitive evidence,Copy !req
41. but the distributions of Whale
appearances and Cult activitiesCopy !req
42. coincided in several respects.Copy !req
43. That makes it doubly credible!Copy !req
44. On that note,Copy !req
45. we're going to head
for the Mathers domain.Copy !req
46. The Witch's Cult is hiding in the forest there.Copy !req
47. The way to defeat them
is as simple as it gets.Copy !req
48. Raid them before they can
read our movements,Copy !req
49. and crush them!Copy !req
50. Is there a way to keep the villagers safe?Copy !req
51. I asked Anastasia-san and Russell-sanCopy !req
52. to talk to the merchants along the highway.Copy !req
53. Under the condition that Margrave Mathers
buys their cargo at the asking price,Copy !req
54. they'll ask the merchants
to evacuate the villagersCopy !req
55. of Arlam and the residents
of Roswaal's mansion.Copy !req
56. And a messenger from Crusch-san's householdCopy !req
57. is headed to the mansion
with a handwritten letter.Copy !req
58. There will be chaos if we don'tCopy !req
59. notify Emilia and the others
about the alliance and all that.Copy !req
60. Sounds like we're all ready.Copy !req
61. Yeah!Copy !req
62. We have never enjoyed such an advantage
in a battle with the Witch's Cult.Copy !req
63. Yeah.Copy !req
64. With Julius and his crew joining us, we don't
have to worry about being outnumbered.Copy !req
65. I'd like to offer one correction.Copy !req
66. My name is Juli.Copy !req
67. Please take care to use it.Copy !req
68. That's just gonna be a hassle
in informal settings!Copy !req
69. The battle with the White Whale
was so tough, I thought I'd die.Copy !req
70. Some of us did die.Copy !req
71. Some others vanished, never to return.Copy !req
72. Let's win the war without losing anyone here.Copy !req
73. Let's all go back home alive!Copy !req
74. You really managed to win?Copy !req
75. Huh?Copy !req
76. The subjugation of the White WhaleCopy !req
77. was a long-standing wish that the
Imperial Knights were to fulfill.Copy !req
78. It seems I owe you my thanks.Copy !req
79. You don't have to force it.Copy !req
80. For putting an end to a calamity that
all nations ignored for far too long,Copy !req
81. I thank you.Copy !req
82. I'm...Copy !req
83. grateful to you, too.Copy !req
84. For coming to back us up.Copy !req
85. Even after what happened.Copy !req
86. About that... I was...Copy !req
87. Oh, damn it! Crap!Copy !req
88. I know, okay?! I know it now!Copy !req
89. It was my fault.Copy !req
90. Sorry. I... I apologize.Copy !req
91. I apologize, as well.Copy !req
92. I can't take back my words and actions,Copy !req
93. but I apologize from the bottom
of my heart for belittling you.Copy !req
94. I'm sorry, but...Copy !req
95. I hate your guts.Copy !req
96. I feel bad for what happened,
and I'm grateful you're here.Copy !req
97. But I hate your guts.Copy !req
98. I seriously hate you from
the bottom of my heart!Copy !req
99. That's as it should be.Copy !req
100. I'm quite certain I could never
befriend you, either.Copy !req
101. All right, as I say every time,
let's get this fight started.Copy !req
102. Bring it on, Fate.Copy !req
103. You must be exhausted, Lia.Copy !req
104. You should rest a bit.Copy !req
105. No.Copy !req
106. I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep.Copy !req
107. What about you? Aren't you tired?Copy !req
108. I'm fine.Copy !req
109. The forest barrier is all fixed up, too.Copy !req
110. You don't have to worry about anything.Copy !req
111. Yeah.Copy !req
112. But...Copy !req
113. This feels like the timeCopy !req
114. I found a cockroach in the
corner of a quiet room.Copy !req
115. You were drawn to the smell, huh?Copy !req
116. Perfect cockroach bait.Copy !req
117. Do I really smell that bad?Copy !req
118. Thanks for coming to meet me.Copy !req
119. Sorry to say it when you just got here,Copy !req
120. but I'd rather discuss the
details with your boss.Copy !req
121. So don't get in my way.Copy !req
122. If they'd stuck around long enough
for me to order themCopy !req
123. to gather their stuff and go home,
this would've been easier...Copy !req
124. I've been waiting for you, believer in love.Copy !req
125. I am a Sin Archbishop of the
Witch's Cult, representing sloth,Copy !req
126. Betelgeuse Romanée-Conti!Copy !req
127. I welcome you, beloved
child blessed with love!Copy !req
128. Wonderful!Copy !req
129. Wonderful!Copy !req
130. Hey.Copy !req
131. I really appreciate the unexpected welcome.Copy !req
132. But I'm not sure I really feel this
"love" you keep bringing up.Copy !req
133. It always begins suddenly.Copy !req
134. Everyone, on a certain day,Copy !req
135. realizes that they are loved.Copy !req
136. They feel the love!Copy !req
137. The love! The love! The love! The love!
The love! The love! The love!Copy !req
138. Um... And what am I supposed to do now?Copy !req
139. Ah, the generous love of the witch...Copy !req
140. You wouldn't happen to be Pride, would you?Copy !req
141. Of the six Sin Archbishops,Copy !req
142. only Pride's seat remains vacant.Copy !req
143. You haveCopy !req
144. received the Gospel, haven't you?Copy !req
145. The Gospel?Copy !req
146. My brainCopy !req
147. trembles!Copy !req
148. Presentation of the Gospel!Copy !req
149. Proof of love!Copy !req
150. Proof! Proof! Proof! Proof!Copy !req
151. Huh?Copy !req
152. There is no account of you in my Gospel.Copy !req
153. That book is the Gospel?Copy !req
154. Then why did you appear here?Copy !req
155. Why visit here?Copy !req
156. What fortune are you here to bring me?!Copy !req
157. Oh! So that's the Gospel!Copy !req
158. I see, I see!Copy !req
159. I understand, I understand.Copy !req
160. You should have just said so.Copy !req
161. Aw, darn it! I'm sorry!Copy !req
162. What?Copy !req
163. My Gospel is, well, you know...Copy !req
164. I used it as a coaster, and it got messy,Copy !req
165. so I threw it out.Copy !req
166. Proof of love!Copy !req
167. Authority of Sloth!Copy !req
168. Unseen Hand!Copy !req
169. What?!Copy !req
170. It's an "unseen hand," right?Copy !req
171. So if I can see it, I can evade it!Copy !req
172. You can see my Unseen Hand?!Copy !req
173. Okay, I'm just about done buying time!Copy !req
174. Prepare to be buried alive!Copy !req
175. Suffer as you regret all
the things you've done!Copy !req
176. How... How could this be?Copy !req
177. My fingers, so cruelly, so mercilessly,Copy !req
178. so chaotically, so arbitrarily,
so artlessly, so meaninglessly...Copy !req
179. My brain... My brain trembles!Copy !req
180. Yikes, that guy's kinda scary!Copy !req
181. I think all the Witch's Cultists are like that.Copy !req
182. Yes, of course...Copy !req
183. Fine. Fine!Copy !req
184. I understand. Let's do this!
I'm ready to do this!Copy !req
185. The time has come to learn which
of us is worthy of her love!Copy !req
186. Her love! Yes, her love!Copy !req
187. Sorry to interrupt your fun, but...Copy !req
188. —ove?!Copy !req
189. I've got someone else lined up to take you on!Copy !req
190. I-It's over... right?Copy !req
191. He's very much dead.Copy !req
192. The most powerful healer in
the capital guarantees it.Copy !req
193. I see...Copy !req
194. Wilhelm-san, I'm sorry to ask
such an unreasonable favor.Copy !req
195. Was it unreasonable?Copy !req
196. Isn't cutting someone down
from behind without warningCopy !req
197. the worst thing a knight can do?Copy !req
198. Chivalry is long dead.Copy !req
199. You need not concern yourself with that.Copy !req
200. Hmm... Doesn't look like he's
carrying anything useful.Copy !req
201. You mini guys are ransacking his corpse
like it's the obvious thing to do...Copy !req
202. I'm not mini. I'm Tivey.Copy !req
203. I think it's our right to search
out the spoils of battle.Copy !req
204. What is this?Copy !req
205. I think that's the book Betelgeuse
called the "Gospel."Copy !req
206. Eep! This is the Gospel?!Copy !req
207. Oh, no! I touched it!Copy !req
208. I can't read it...Copy !req
209. Felis, can you read this?Copy !req
210. Whoa, nyo way! Don't point that thing at me!Copy !req
211. And don't do something as stupid
as trying to read the Gospel!Copy !req
212. Is it that dangerous?Copy !req
213. The Gospel is the proof that one
belongs to the Witch's Cult.Copy !req
214. It's basically their sacred text.Copy !req
215. Sacred text?Copy !req
216. The rumors say that one is delivered to
anyone with the potential to join the cult.Copy !req
217. And once a person gets it... Imagine that!Copy !req
218. They're nyow a devout member
of the Witch's Cult.Copy !req
219. How shady can you get?Copy !req
220. Well, I guess I'll take this with me.Copy !req
221. If I can decipher it,Copy !req
222. maybe I can figure out what
the Witch's Cult really is.Copy !req
223. Hey, hey, we've killed the enemy here,Copy !req
224. so shouldn't we go make sure the
other enemies are dead, too?Copy !req
225. You know, as adorable as you look,Copy !req
226. you say some pretty disturbing things.Copy !req
227. Aw, I'm adorable? You're makin' me blush!Copy !req
228. So the subordinates that Betelgeuse
called "fingers" number ten in total?Copy !req
229. I think one of them is pinned under there.Copy !req
230. Ten minus one is nine!Copy !req
231. So nine are left!Copy !req
232. Then, shall we go?Copy !req
233. But they really are dead, right?Copy !req
234. They're not gonna come back the
second we look away, right?Copy !req
235. Oh. fine. If you're that
worried, we'll make sure.Copy !req
236. We crushed two fingers here.Copy !req
237. A few of the cultists were skilled,
but they posed no threat.Copy !req
238. We made no errors in driving them off.Copy !req
239. I'm glad it went well for you guys, too.Copy !req
240. Given your demeanor,Copy !req
241. it seems I can assume your
news is good, as well?Copy !req
242. Yep! We took out Betelgeuse!Copy !req
243. And since this guy is such a worrywart,Copy !req
244. we blasted him to bits with one more
"kaboom" after we killed him!Copy !req
245. All to bits!Copy !req
246. So that just leaves the simple task
of mopping up the remnants, huh?Copy !req
247. We'd better hurry upCopy !req
248. and take care of 'em before
my lady turns into an old granny.Copy !req
249. Oh, that was my best joke, y'know!Copy !req
250. We rendezvous soon with the dragon-drawn
carriages you arranged.Copy !req
251. Let's eliminate the remaining fingers
and greet our victory together.Copy !req
252. Okay, Subaru-kyun, time for the bait.Copy !req
253. Put out that smell!Copy !req
254. Breathe in...Copy !req
255. And out...Copy !req
256. And out... And out... And out...Copy !req
257. Hey, hang on! Don't be crazy!Copy !req
258. So I guess...Copy !req
259. Once this is all done,Copy !req
260. we'll all go back to being friend and foe.Copy !req
261. How confident of you to worry
about what's yet to come.Copy !req
262. Hey, sue me.Copy !req
263. It's going almost too well,
so maybe I let my guard down.Copy !req
264. Get down!Copy !req
265. What is this?Copy !req
266. What's goin' on?!Copy !req
267. The Unseen Hand!Copy !req
268. Betelgeuse should be dead!Copy !req
269. So who's...Copy !req
270. Subaru-dono!Copy !req
271. Damn it!Copy !req
272. Ah!Copy !req
273. My brain... trembles...Copy !req
274. Who are you?Copy !req
275. Wh-Who the hell are you?Copy !req
276. Are you Betelgeuse's...Copy !req
277. Finger, yes!Copy !req
278. Let me go...Copy !req
279. I am a finger,Copy !req
280. one who reciprocates love.Copy !req
281. A faithful, diligent
disciple who will carry outCopy !req
282. the Ordeal, following love's guidance!Copy !req
283. A copy?Copy !req
284. A replica of... the original Betelgeuse?Copy !req
285. If so, this couldn't
possibly get any worse!Copy !req
286. Sniff, sniff.Copy !req
287. The love that cloaks you does not
compare to that of a mere follower.Copy !req
288. It is equal to that of a Sin Archbishop!Copy !req
289. It is exceedinglyCopy !req
290. displeasing, dissatisfying, disagreeable,
discomforting, disproportionate, discordant!Copy !req
291. But that is the proof that you are Pride!Copy !req
292. Don't make me keep saying it!Copy !req
293. I'm not even close to Pride!Copy !req
294. I've never even gotten a free
book as a membership perk!Copy !req
295. My! Are you being stubborn?Copy !req
296. Still, soon enough, you will quite readily...Copy !req
297. The Gospel...Copy !req
298. My love's guidance!Copy !req
299. The Gospel that allows me, though
inexperienced, to reciprocate love!Copy !req
300. It is not with me now!Copy !req
301. Was it you?Copy !req
302. You? You? You? You? You? You? You? You?!Copy !req
303. Did you steal it?!Copy !req
304. Wha...Copy !req
305. A spirit?Copy !req
306. A spirit!Copy !req
307. Spirit! Spirit! Spirit!Copy !req
308. Damn it.Copy !req
309. Is that all you can do?Copy !req
310. If so...Copy !req
311. Be dismayed! Disappointed! Dejected!Copy !req
312. Are you two slothful?!Copy !req
313. My life is spilling out...Copy !req
314. My blood is running dry.Copy !req
315. My diligent pulse, my life's support,Copy !req
316. is stopping... disappearing...Copy !req
317. Ah, my brain... trembl—Copy !req
318. So the first Sloth we defeated was a double,Copy !req
319. and this was the real one?Copy !req
320. No,Copy !req
321. this may not even be a matter
of which is the real one.Copy !req
322. You mean that there may be more
than one Sin Archbishop of Sloth?Copy !req
323. Either that,Copy !req
324. or all hundred followers,
including the fingers,Copy !req
325. are the Sin Archbishop of Sloth.Copy !req
326. I dragged you all into this.Copy !req
327. If I'd realized it sooner,
I could have avoided this.Copy !req
328. I knew what kind of power it was, so I...Copy !req
329. Subaru-dono.Copy !req
330. I'm sure many thoughts are going
through your mind right now.Copy !req
331. And I'm certain none of
them are superficial.Copy !req
332. But while it may be inelegant
of me, I must say this.Copy !req
333. Fight!Copy !req
334. Even if you have regrets,Copy !req
335. even if you are remorseful, you must fight.Copy !req
336. If you have made the decision for
yourself to fight, to struggle,Copy !req
337. then fight with all you have.Copy !req
338. Don't give up for one second,
one moment, or one instant.Copy !req
339. Cling greedily to the victory
you have within your sight.Copy !req
340. If you can still stand,
if your fingers still move,Copy !req
341. if all your teeth haven't broken...Copy !req
342. Stand and fight.Copy !req
343. You must fight.Copy !req
344. You're telling me to get stronger?Copy !req
345. No.Copy !req
346. I'm telling you to be strong.Copy !req
347. Ready to go?Copy !req
348. Yeah. Let's go.Copy !req
349. Lend me your wisdom and strength!Copy !req
350. We're gonna start evacuating
the mansion and village!Copy !req
351. Don't waste a single second!Copy !req
352. Right now,Copy !req
353. the Witch's Cult hasn't noticed yet
that the plain is wide open.Copy !req
354. We can get Emilia and the others in carriages,Copy !req
355. and get them to safety in plain sight.Copy !req
356. With Emilia-sama and the others safe,
we won't have to worry about them,Copy !req
357. so we can focus on
subjugating the Witch's Cult.Copy !req
358. It's not easy to fight when you
know you have a weak point.Copy !req
359. You're making my ears hurt...Copy !req
360. But that's exactly right.Copy !req
361. While I'm at it, let me say one more thing.Copy !req
362. Subaru-kyun, you should really
make up with Julius soon.Copy !req
363. Soon? We already reconciled after our fight.Copy !req
364. Didn't you see?Copy !req
365. That was just for starters, wasn't it?Copy !req
366. You're still subconsciously
harboring some resentment.Copy !req
367. You can rely on Julius.Copy !req
368. Though I admit he's a bit unapproachable
and incomprehensible.Copy !req
369. Go on, hurry up.Copy !req
370. Okay, fine!Copy !req
371. Uh...Copy !req
372. So, hey, there's something
I wanted to say to you...Copy !req
373. A Flash of SlothCopy !req
