01x03 - A Gentle Death

[bunniefuu]

Doroka.

Mia.

I'm glad you're all right.

Mia, what happened?

I don't know.

The humans suddenly att*cked.

But we got along so well until recently.

We even went all the way to
the city to cure Mr. Tom's illness.

This can't be happening.

I know! We can use magic.

We can't.

What?

That machine is suppressing our magic.

What is that?

Madam Ophelia might know something.

Doroka, run.

You must tell Madam
Ophelia what's happening.

You want me to go alone?

No, let's go together.

Listen to me.

You're a good girl.

Mia, what did they do to you?

Follow the Star of Revelation,
and you'll reach Madam Ophelia's mansion.

I took you there during
the Fertility Festival.

You know the way, right?

Doroka.

You're a strong girl.

Run as quickly as you can,
and no one will be able to catch you.

You'll have crossed the mountains
before you know it.

Now go.

Okay.

Don't look back. Just run.

You're a truly strong girl.

So this is where the bitch ran off to.

Let's resume our fun.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

Wait! Don't die on me.

How do I do it?

How can I bring Chloe back to life?

Listen to me.

The witches are...

Don't screw with me, witch.

Bring Chloe back from the dead?

That's not enough for
me to know what to do.

The fiend is dead.

It's over, Director Yamato.

Don't get cocky, humans.

Fire, fire!

Cainz.

Cainz

Die.

Written-Style Summoning Magic...

Maximum
Gaine

Maximum Gaine.

Now die.

Is he for real?

Powerless insects.

Did you think you had
any chance of b*ating me?

Did you really think you could b*at magic?

Did you think you could live
in peace after k*lling Chloe?

f*ck you!

I'll wipe every last one of
you off the face of this planet.

You'll know Chloe's despair.

Hurry, Yuki.

This is the DAM...

The crown jewel of science
that once defeated the witches.

Once activated, we'll be
able to suppress his magic.

Finally...

I'll be useful to my brother.

Hurry up, you two!

S-Sorry, ma'am!

I knew the hot-blooded National
Security Bureau would show up here.

You're...

One of the Four National Bureaus of
the Redia Empire: The National Science Agency

National Science Agency Director
Theta Samanstah

Yuki, you've grown stronger
since I last saw you.

Unfortunately, I can't allow you
to activate this device.

What do you mean?

I request an explanation.

Yuki

What is it, Yuki?

Why haven't you activated the device yet?

Right now, you're about as calm
as boiling water, aren't you?

That voice... Director Theta.

Do you have a moment to speak?

Not currently.

We're in a race against time.

My phone!

Don't be so on edge, Director Yamato.

You can't activate the
Magic Photon Suppression Device.

Dear Brother

Why not?

Science is the work of humanity
that sheds light on the world.

But while we've explained
much about the world,

Dear Brother

there are still things
we don't understand...

Such as the particles emitted
by the Magic Photon Suppression Device.

So what?

Human Cellular Dysfunction Disease.

Recognize the name?

It's the illness developed by soldiers who
participated in the witch hunts ten years ago.

What's that got to do with it?

We can't say for certain due to
the large number of factors,

but we believe these particles
affected the human body.

This device kills cells.

That's news to me.

Because we hid it.

Unfortunately, there are no more witches
left to restore the natural environment.

The atmosphere that would've
cleansed these harmful rays is gone.

Nature has fallen out of grace.

As things are now, if a human body were
exposed to a massive amount of particles,

it would be destroyed.

That can't be...

You know what happened to those who fought
for humanity and stood before this device.

Then His Majesty's illness is...

Dear Brother

Now you know. You should leave now.

Yuki.

Dear Brother

Yuki! Wait!

We can't afford to worry about illnesses

when the thr*at of magic is right before us.

Yuki, it's in your hands.

This is of national importance.

Yes, sir.

All units, retreat. Quickly.

Yuki, wait!

Didn't you hear what I said?

Don't activate that device!

Even a little exposure
could have consequences.

Yuki!

This is of national importance,

Brother.

Huh?

The target has dropped the quill, Director.

What happened, Director Theta? How is Yuki?

It was nothing.

Everything's fine here.

Dear Brother

Did Yuki do something? Could it be...?

Look in front of you, kid!

Is this really someone you can't b*at
without suppressing magic?

Should we really be having
this much trouble with that boy?

What should you be doing?

Quickly exterminating
those who harm the empire.

Yes.

We are Redia, the indestructible empire.

All units, charge!

Aim!

Hey, stay out of the line of fire!

How dare you harm our nation.

Stay away from him.

Thermo blade on!

Witch's apprentice, my ass!

Am I going to die?

I get to die?

Finally, I can be with you.

Is that soldier all right?

I can't see because of all the smoke.

Hey, look.

I did it.

I k*lled the witch's apprentice.

All right! He's dead!

What forces are you with?

Nice work.

They defeated the witch's apprentice?

This is the power of Redia!

Serves you right!

This is Yamato of the NSB.

Well done, everyone.

Good work defeating the witch's apprentice.

But don't celebrate yet.

Collect his body and confirm
the damage done to each area of the city.

Link up with the rescue crews,
and help the victims.

It was that soldier who k*lled him.

She's so young.

I believe she's a new recruit
of the armored foot soldiers.

I'll look into it.

Don't bother.

See how Director Theta
and Vice-Director Yuki are doing.

On the double.

Yes, sir.

You're right, Director Theta.

We are... This nation is strong.

Magic survived.

Those abominable occult arts
still remained in this world.

That boy we took from the witch's hands ten
years ago has been unleashed upon the world.

It's the worst possible outcome.

This is truly a disaster.

Long-term prisoner
and witch's apprentice, Adonis.

Despite being human like us,

that fiend was a remnant of
the terrible old world enthralled by magic.

Even after ten years, we've failed to
determine how he used magic as a human.

Looking back, I cannot help
but feel enraged that I allowed him to live.

But fear not, my people.

This is Redia, the pinnacle of the world.

The power of science we've acquired

and our iron-willed troops
will yield to no evil.

Let the flames of pride burn in our hearts.

Be proud you were born
human in the Redia Empire.

The old world is gone. God is dead.

This nation is now God.

[Disaster] Memorial Service Speech
His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Goethe
of the Redia Empire

A few of our students d*ed,
and I know things haven't been easy,

But the national mock exams start tomorrow.

Let's move past this.

Got it?

Okay, homeroom is over.

Sir.

Why did the witch's apprentice side
with the witches if he's human?

Who knows?

He was probably brainwashed or something.

Oh, first period is PE. Get changed quickly.

I saw you.

I saw what you did.

What?

What's your problem? You're so annoying.

That was a normal reaction
to that situation.

Eri, hurry up.

Yamane's a drag if you're late.

Die, you ugly bitch.

Disaster, my ass.

Do your damn jobs and protect the citizens.

Sorry, Takuma.

You must hate me.

Eri! Eri!

Eri, I'm screwed! Pull me out!

What are you doing, Takuma?

Huh?

Eri?

I'm so sorry.

What? Wait, Eri!

You're abandoning me?

You're the one who said
you had feelings for me!

I suck.

I abandoned my boyfriend,

and I think this guy using magic...

is kinda hot.

Now that's shameful.

Sorry, sorry. Looks like I scared you.

He's with the government.

It's okay.

You don't have to delete those.

You like those photos, right?

But don't tell anyone about them.

The witch's apprentice is the heinous
criminal who caused that disaster.

Don't be so scared.

I won't snitch on you.

R-Right. I'm sorry.

I'd better go.

It's me, Oz.

There's a high school girl running
down Gran Road from Section 6-2.

She seems to have been
influenced by the t*rror1st.

Seize her.

I don't know.

Let the National Security
Bureau handle the rest.

She'll probably either be ex*cuted
or imprisoned for treason.

Chief Oz, there you are.

We've completed the final check.

Then I'll head back now.

Inspecting the disaster area
is pretty exhausting.

National Intelligence Agency Deputy Director
Chief Oz Gorgeous

Give me a hug and kiss
when I get back, Ms. Charmy.

Chief Oz...

Could you please address
my transfer request soon?

If you don't, I'm contacting
the Labor Standards Office.

Overtime every day and a boss who abuses
their power and sexually harasses me.

Why is our department the one
with terrible working conditions?

Anyway, some unbelievable
analysis just came in.

National Intelligence Agency
Chief Investigator Charmy

If you could return right away, please.

What's the gist?

Roger that.

The witch's apprentice's body...

is a fake.
