S: You are doing better,

S: but you shouldn't push yourself.

G: Yeah. I'm feeling a lot better.

G: That looks good. What is it?

Gi: Be grateful!

Gi: Bouillabaisse-style hot pot.

Gu: It'll shrivel up if you do it daily.

Gi: This is pretty good, these crab and shellfish corpses.

Gi: It's "crabinalism"!

Gi: So, where is your homeland and what's it like?

Gi: I will tell you! Elfhelm!

Gi: A utopia that lies on the Western Sea.

Gi: Flowers are always blooming, et cetera.

Gi: El... Elf Hell?

Gi: Not "hell"!

Gi: Elfhelm.

Gi: It's filled with beings like you, right?

Gi: I have heard of it from my teacher.

Gi: It is a legendary island to the west, known as Skellig.

Gi: Like the forest of the spirit tree, it belongs to the interstice,

Gi: so it isn't on any sea charts, and normal people cannot reach it.

Gi: In addition to the elves, many mages are said to live there.

Gi: I have always wanted to see it!

Gi: Um, Schierke?

Gi: I have a request.

Gi: Would you teach me magic?

G: How about that?

P: Farnese, you want to be a witch?

Gu: W-Wait a second...

Fa: Ever since the trolls, I have been thinking about it.

P: But you're an adult. You can't be an apprentice to this wimpy kid.

Fa: To be honest, I was astonished then.

Fa: The miracles, the divine power called "magic" that you used...

Fa: When the time came that even one such as I had to protect someone,

Fa: what lent me courage to do so were Casca

: and the magic dagger you gave me.

S: But that's just a silver Kn*fe.

Fa: To me, it was undoubtedly a magic dagger!

Fa: Flora told me to accept the great mysteries

Fa: and seek the truth about everything from my world.

Fa: That that was the way of magic.

Fa: If the light of a greater law can illuminate the darkness,

Fa: then please impart it to me!

Gi: Come on, this ain't a show.

Gu: Usually, they say that you cannot learn magic unless you start

Gu: at a very young age.

Gu: More than anything,

Gu: that is because, as people age, they become trapped

Gu: by their knowledge of the physical world,

Gu: so breaking free of their preconceptions is harder.

Gu: But after all the terrifying things you've seen, Farnese,

Gu: that isn't a concern, is it?

Gu: I am still training myself,

Gu: but I think I can teach you the basics.

F: Thank you, Teacher!

Gu: T-Teacher?

Gu: Lady Farnese... A w-witch?

Gu: Teacher?

F: Can we start with spells?

S: We'll start with the basics.

Title,S: Proclaimed Omens

Gi: Hey, Schierke, let's go back...

Gi: The sea's creepy at night!

G: Taking a walk?

G: It's true that this moonlight

G: makes it hard to sleep.

S: Guts...

S: I have never seen the ocean before.

S: My mistress told me that the sea is the gate to the spiritual world.

S: It's beautiful and kind,

S: eerie and terrifying,

S: a sight that touches the hearts of all who see it.

S: And that places like that are always connected to the spiritual world.

S: Back then, all I could do was imagine it.

S: But standing on the beach,

S: I understand her words for the first time.

S: I've departed on a journey from which there is no return.

G: You're too good a student.

G: It may be easier for you to keep it all inside

G: and spend your time worrying about others.

S: Th-That isn't...

G: But if you keep it inside all the time as a kid,

G: you'll end up a mess of an adult.

S: Don't worry about me!

S: To mages,

S: being parted by death from those closest to us

S: has a different meaning than to you who live in the physical world.

S: A mage places herself in both the physical and spiritual worlds.

S: And so to us,

S: it isn't an ending, but hatching into a great existence.

S: It isn't...

: It isn't...

S: a sad thing...

S: I feel a little better.

S: The salt air is stinging my eyes and nose.

G: Same here, actually...

G: My whole body.

S: I knew you were pushing yourself too hard!

Gi: I see!

Gi: I guess you're that age, huh?

Gi: But I can't believe your first time, it's an old guy...

Gi: I mean, older person...

Gi: But I guess he is a lot better than the other two.

s: What are you talking about?

Gi: A young girl's first love is for a wild older man!

Gi: It tickles!

: Lovely!

S: Wh-What's wrong?

Gi: We have company.

Gi: I guess you survived.

Apostle,Gu: I might return those words to you.

S: Lately, I've been creating one debt to you after another.

S: Well, that's nothing new.

S: But thank you, I guess.

S: So what do you want today?

Apostle,Gu: The eyes will lose color,

Apostle,Gu: the tongue its sense of taste,

Apostle,Gu: and fingertips will tire from shaking.

Apostle,Gu: These are omens.

Apostle,Gu: If you continue to fight in that armor,

Apostle,Gu: then light, voice, warmth...

Apostle,Gu: You will lose many things.

S: No...

G: I don't like it...

G: As always, you act like you know everything.

G: Thanks for the warning,

G: but I ain't ever letting that happen again.

G: Next time, I'll master this thing and stay in control.

S: That's right.

S: I shall not let that happen.

S: Thank you for what you have done for us.

S: I'm sorry to ask,

S: but what was your relationship to my mistress?

S: Did this armor originally belong to you, perhaps?

Apostle,Gu: We were friends.

Apostle,Gu: Just as you two are now.

Apostle,Gu: The od in that armor is like a flame that will never be extinguished.

Apostle,Gu: Even if you master it once,

Apostle,Gu: the embers will continue to smolder.

Apostle,Gu: Given the chance, they will become raging flames.

Apostle,Gu: Even with the talisman protecting you,

Apostle,Gu: you must never lower your guard.

Apostle,Gu: Not if you wish to remain human.

G: Thanks for the kind tip.

G: While you're being kind, can you tell me something else?

G: Why did they...

: Why did the Apostles att*ck the old lady's mansion?

Apostle,Gu: The hawk now places himself

Apostle,Gu: beyond the laws that govern the physical world.

Apostle,Gu: Where nothing in the human world can thr*aten him.

Apostle,Gu: It would be as if the character in a story

Apostle,Gu: challenged the story's author.

Apostle,Gu: If any can challenge the hawk and stand a chance,

Apostle,: it is another who is placed outside the story, as well.

S: That's why they went after my mistress?

Apostle,Gu: They saw a single mage as a greater thr*at than an army, , strong.

S: No...

S: I can't accept it!

Apostle,Gu: If you would continue your journey,

Apostle,Gu: you will see the Apostles again, soon.

G: What?

Apostle,Gu: And when that happens, their leader will most likely be

Apostle,: the hawk.

S: Guts...

Gu: He's... coming.

S: Guts!

Apostle,Gu: To protect or to challenge?

Apostle,Gu: You will continually ask your soul this question.

Apostle,Gu: That is your destiny, as a human who stands within the interstice.

Apostle,Gu: Lastly, I give you one hope.

Apostle,Gu: The fairyland to which you travel,

Apostle,Gu: and the fairy king who waits there...

Apostle,Gu: Their name is Hanafubuku.

S: I've heard of him.

S: He is a very strong fairy king, sung of in legend.

S: His name appears not only in grimoires,

S: but also in poems and stories.

gu: That bastard didn't say a word.

S: That was my mistake.

S: That the king of Puck's home would be so powerful...

Apostle,Gu: With their power, it is possible.

Apostle,Gu: Your comrade, the girl of the brand,

Apostle,: may yet regain her mind.

S: Is that true?

Apostle,Gu: I shall not repeat myself.

S: She can

: come back?

S: Seriously?

Apostle,Gu: But do not forget.

Apostle,Gu: Your hope may not

Apostle,Gu: always be her hope.

Gu: Casca will...

Gu: Seriously?

S: Yes.

S: Hanafubuku is a great fairy king, so strong he features in legends.

S: I think we can be certain.

Gu: Wow, your king is amazing.

Gi: Why didn't you say anything?!

Gu: Don't tell me...

Gi: He didn't know?

F: That's great news, Guts.

Apostle,Gu: Your hope may not

Apostle,Gu: always be her hope.

G: Fog...

S: Guts?

P: What's wrong?

S: Something's coming, hiding in the fog.

Gu: Is it the usual ghouls?

Gu: Sounds fun!

Gu: Been a while since a good fight!

S: This od is closer to

: that of the monsters that att*cked the mansion than of ghouls.

S: They're coming!

P: What is this thing?

Gu: A magical life form created by putting a spirit into an animal,

Gu: a type of familiar.

Gu: Who made these?

Gu: This isn't good!

S: Ivalera!

I: On it!

I: Yep.

I: Okay!

S: It's the full moon tonight,

S: when the power of magic is strongest.

S: Even if this isn't holy ground,

S: I can post talismans for the kings of the four cardinal points.

S: Buy me a little time to finish the spell.

Gu: Right.

S: Farnese, please take care of Casca.

Gu: Yes!

S: Guts, you can't fight like that...

G: It's the perfect chance to get my body back into fighting shape.

G: But we can't exit with those things outside the door.

P: Then let's give them a snack!

P: Taste my power!

P: It knew what I was going to do!

Gu: You just rolled right into its mouth.

P: Fine!

P: Okay, let's just keep it out!

P: Holy sh*t... You're back in business.

G: I can feel it.

G: He smells blood,

G: waiting for a chance to be unleashed.

G: Stay focused.

G: Freeze the core of your mind.

G: Draw only a minimum of power from the armor.

G: Just limit the pain enough so your body can move.

G: I'm the one who holds the reins!

Gi: It's here! It's here!

Gi: Do something!

Gu: Flashy, as always!

Gu: When you see it at night, it looks like an aurora.

S: You're all safe, aren't you?

S: For now, the area around this shack is safe.

S: But they have physical bodies,

S: which means there's a limit to the shield's effectiveness.

S: There must be someone nearby who is controlling this horde.

S: If you can defeat them...

G: Where is he?

S: I'm looking now.

P: Figure it out fast, Miss Witch!

P: Wait! Wait!

G: Are you done yet?

S: Follow the flow of od.

S: I found them!

S: Behind the rocks on the beach.

P: Okay!

P: Now it's time to bail!

S: Wait!

S: Not yet...

S: These are Kushans?

S: Fog?

S: Everyone, get out of there now!

S: What the hell is that?

S: It's bigger than an ogre!

S: Oh, sh*t!

S: My shield cannot stop something so big!

Gu: If I aim for the eye...

Gu: Serpico!

Gu: I lowered my guard...

S: The caster commanding it...

: is at sea?

S: No, it's too far away!

P: He's so strong.

S: Guts!

S: No, you can't fight more now!

S: He really is amazing.

S: I bet he can do it, right?

S: No.

P: Watch out!

P: Wait.

P: This time, I'll go get him!

P: Come on, damn it!

P: He used it...

P: He's so strong...

S: But his wounds will reopen!

S: I will bring him back!

G: The roar of the sea.

G: It's drawing me to the bottom of a deep sea.

G: A rumbling like an animal's roar.

P: Wow...

Gu: According to legends,

Gu: Berserkers were objects of fear not only to enemies,

Gu: but to their allies, as well.

P: Yeah, the way he's fighting...

Gu: That isn't all.

Gu: It's also because they slew all around them,

: whether friend or foe.

S: Stay away!

Apostle,Background: m*rder. Destroy. Shatter.

S: Stay away!

S: Stay away!

: Stay...

P: Y-You're kidding me...

P: Hey, are you done yet?

Gu: Everyone, get back!

Gu: What do we do?

Gu: I don't know.

S: Look.

S: Listen.

G: Light.

G: The water's surface.

S: Reach out your hand,

S: Guts!

F: Teacher!

Gu: Are you yourself again?

Gu: Are you all right?

Gu: Damn it!

Gu: In the end, it's just like he said.

S: If you keep it inside all the time,

S: you'll end up a mess of an adult.

S: Right?

G: You're right...
