[184]
As you've heard,

this city is under
their control now.

We're completely at the mercy
of the Witch's Cult.

And if you act carelessly,

the response won't be
a lenient one.

I'm well aware
of the Witch's Cult,

but earlier

I encountered somebody

who was claiming to be
a Sin Archbishop.

I'm sure it wasn't Lust.

She was calling herself Wrath.

Would you know
anything about this?

[184]
Yes.

You see,

many Sin Archbishops are
in Priestella at the moment.

Our husband is one of them.

Regulus?

He's one, as well?

[EMILIA]
So, when she mentioned

a wedding with
a silver-haired girl,

she was referring to me?

Then that means,

if I left

and there was never
any ceremony

this whole city
would be flooded.

Seems you understand
the situation.

[184]
Now let's get you dressed.

Hmm.

Subaru.

I noticed you mentioned

that person's name before,
as well.

Is it a man?

Yes.

[EMILIA]
Subaru is my knight.

[people screaming]

[screaming]

[roaring]

[roars]

[gasps]

[groaning]

[PRISCILLA]
You big idiot.

[gasps]

How long do you plan on keeping

that ridiculous expression
on your face?

[Subaru screaming]

Priscilla, it's you!

Well, who else would I be?

Wait, we fell
into the waterway?

So did it flood or something?

That's exactly what happened,
Mr. Natsuki!

The whole thing
gave me such a shock,

my little legs haven't stopped
shaking ever since!

[LILIANA] It looks I'm doing
some kinda new dance!

Liliana, glad you're okay!

We all heard a broadcast

only moments after
you people left the park.

Quite a boorish one,
I might add.

[PRISCILLA]
Then,

the torrent of water that was

pouring out
of the Great Watergate

washed away
every last bit of the city.

[gasps]

♪

[gasps]

My leg...is still there?

[gasps]

Is something the matter?
You okay?

Hmm?

[Liliana screams]

[LILIANA]
What the heck is that?

That's not an effective
healing magic, is it?

[gasps]

[squelches]

Now, don't scream.

[squelches]

[gasps]

[squelching]

Uh...

Eww!
Eww! Eww!

Capella was dripping some blood
on what was left of my leg.

Dragon blood!

[PRISCILLA]
Dragon blood.

That's one
of the three treasures

the Holy Dragon gave
Lugunica's royal family.

♪

[Liliana singing in Japanese]

♪

[Liliana singing in Japanese]

♪

That's a verse from
the royal family's ancient song

about their friendship with
the Holy Dragon, Volcanica.

Sure makes their blood
sound powerful.

Guess it is.

Ow!

Well, well.

Seems that wounds on places
other than your leg don't heal.

Will you please
put that thing away!

[SUBARU]
So, what happened to Garfiel,

Wilhelm, and the rest of them?

I hope they were
able to get to safety!

Crusch, too!
Is she all right?

I wish I could help.

But I don't know
anything about them.

There is a silver lining
to all this

'cause the watergate
that opened up

so quickly closed again.

And almost
everyone in this city

made it to a shelter.

A little bit earlier,

as she was
addressing Priestella,

the Sin Archbishop
of Lust announced

that she has three new demands.

But it would appear
you're oblivious to that.

Now there's three more?

[PRISCILLA]
Yes.

Along with the witch's remains,

which are purported
to be in this city,

the artificial spirit

and the Tome of Wisdom
have joined the list.

[gasps]

Also,

the upcoming wedding ceremony
with the silver-haired girl.

[gasps]

[PRISCILLA]
So, then...

what are you going to do?

God damn it!

She's not gonna win this!
There's no way in hell!

I'll kick her a*s!

[gasps]

Well, that's a surprise.

You don't feel discouraged
after everything I've told you?

Not even a little bit?

Damn right I don't!

So, I'm gonna regroup.

And this time around,

I'll make sure to run
all those b*stards outta here!

You think you can do that?

It's not about
whether I can or can't!

It's about
whether I will or won't!

[chuckles softly]

I have to commend your courage.

And for that,

I'm giving you a reward.

Huh!

[thuds]

[coughs]

The hell?
What kind of reward was...

♪

Oh, no!

Look out for those demi-beasts!

Those what?

[snarling]

[roars]

[roars]

[PRISCILLA]
Well? Ugly, aren't they?

These are
the repulsive inferiorities

that now run
rampant in this city.

Every one of them
gives the distinct impression

that their creator had
no sense of beauty.

They're nothing
more than a bad joke.

♪

Are these...

because of Capella.

♪

[grunts]

[PRISCILLA] Looking at
you pathetic creatures

is unbearable to me.

Luckily for you,

I'm prepared to be merciful

and perform your last rites!

[chuckles softly]

[squelching]

[thuds]

[fire roars]

The fiery glow
of this Yang Sword

along with my knowledge
of the demi-beasts,

that ought to be
a sufficient reward for you.

Huh?!

What the hell
are you capable of, seriously?

Keep spacing out
and I'll leave you behind,

you fool.

[PRISCILLA] My objective
is directly ahead of us.

It's time
to observe another reality now,

one that's best seen
with your own eyes.

[gasps]

[indistinct chatter]

[SUBARU] Hey, what's with
the mood in this place?

My, my, not here, either.

Damn, even I'm starting to feel
a little sick right now!

Yes, well, just leave it
to the foolish masses.

Hit them the slightest bit

and they're so easily
swallowed up.

Hang on,
it's the Authority of Wrath?

This must be its effect?

[MAN 1]
Hey, you!

Why the hell do you keep on
staring at me?

You got something
you wanna say?

You're too old to be picking
a fight with someone like me,

-Grandpa!
-Enough!

-Stop it, both of you!
-Keep your damn mouth

-quiet!
-Gotta come out sometime!

[baby crying]

-[MAN 2] Shut the hell up!
-[indistinct chatter]

This is bad.

All these people
are about to riot!

Uh!

That's nonsense.

You're beginning
to lose your composure,

like everyone else in here.

[PRISCILLA] So, keep quiet
and listen, you fool.

[gasps]

[grunts]

A song's come to me!

[LILIANA]
I'm calling it,

"Priestella,

Swaying on
the Water's Surface."

[people applauding]

You're too kind.

Thanks for
listening to my song.

[baby cooing]

Hi, there!

I'm sorry you were stuck
having to see and hear that.

Now I'm feeling pretty awkward.

Liliana.

Have you returned
to your senses yet, peasant?

The little songstress
has done well.

[PRISCILLA]
But what happened here

is an example of the ugly,
meaningless reality

occurring throughout the city.

Earlier, you called
that unpleasant mood

the "Authority of Wrath,"
right?

Yeah.

It can throw people's emotions
into complete chaos.

[SUBARU]
And a shelter like this one

is the perfect prey for her.

[PRISCILLA]
Hm.

Priscilla, you--

Whenever that happens,
then it's my time to shine!

After all, captivating others
and moving people with my songs

is the only thing
I've ever wanted to do!

You mentioned
having an "objective."

Was it bringing Liliana here
to try and calm them down?

Nonsense.

The only reason
that I came out here

-is to look for Schult.
-[smirks]

What is that witless smirk
on your face?

Nothing.

Anyway, I'm gonna head back
to the Muse Company

and join up with my friends.

Now, what are you gonna do?

I have my own matters
to attend to.

I guess you do.

Well, see you later, then.

[SUBARU]
Thanks a lot!

[Liliana giggles]

[door shuts]

[REGULUS]
Ah, very nice, indeed!

Somehow, I just had a feeling
white would suit you perfectly.

You are too kind.

You don't look happy,

and that doesn't
befit one so lovely.

If there's something
bothering you,

then I'd like to know.

[whimpering]

Tell me, number 184

did anything happen to her

while she was
putting on her clothes?

Please forgive me,

but I suspect that it may
have been Capella's broadcast.

Her broadcast?

Oh, yes, of course.

That poor meat-obsessed
woman's voice

has always grated on me.

So, I simply try
and ignore it when possible.

[REGULUS] Though,
hearing it for the first time

could be rather unsettling

Vile, isn't it?

Well, you don't need
to concern yourself

with the rantings
of a toxic woman

who's unworthy of love.

[REGULUS] You, however,
are more than worthy.

Um...

[REGULUS] You still don't
feel any better?

Our wedding's just
around the corner,

so what can I do
to lift my bride's spirits?

Hmm.

You look so bitter.

You don't have an answer yet?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I think I may be
getting a bit tired.

May I rest now?

[REGULUS]
I see.

It appears
my own negligence was to blame.

Apologies.

My wives and I will be
preparing the venue.

So, you don't have
to worry about a thing.

The venue?
[door opens]

There's a temple
that's rather close by.

And all of my brides
are working together

to have it ready
for our wedding.

[REGULUS]
I have 229 of them in total.

Sadly,
many have already perished.

But 53 are
still very much alive

and adding you to their ranks
will make 54.

I love each one
with all my heart

and I'll adore you
the same way.

Oh, thank you.

I won't forget that.

Ah, good girl!

[REGULUS] By the way,
I've been ruminating a bit.

Although, failing
to notice my bride's exhaustion

was surely my own blunder.

Wouldn't you agree

that the one person
who's closest to me

should've been
aware of it as well?

-[gasps]
-Because I certainly do.

[EMILIA]
Watch out!

[thuds]

Oh, please forgive me!
I must have lost my head.

Well, I'm afraid
I have to leave you.

[REGULUS] Ah, there are
so many things to do.

[groans]

Did he just...

Thank you for saving me.
I do appreciate it.

[gasps]

Hold on!

Do you realize what happened?

If I hadn't been here,
he would've k*lled you.

[184] I've already
expressed my gratitude

for what you did.

But it isn't within my rights

to ask for anything further.

I'm not just
talking about rights.

This is something
even more important!

Do all the wives at the temple
have to act this way, too?

Do they make themselves
as small as possible

because they're afraid
of Regulus?

[EMILIA]
Do they quietly accept it

when he tries to k*ll them?

[184] That's how
some relationships work.

[rocks clatter]

You'll get used to it
before long.

No, that's not right!

Shouldn't marriage
be a beautiful thing,

where two people
who love each other

can find happiness?

[184] It can also exist
without happiness.

You have to do
as our husband commands.

But, how could I?

It's wrong.

Hey, stay back there!
Don't you come near me!

Julius!

Subaru,
I'm so glad you're okay.

Yeah, by the skin of my teeth.

Looks like you're okay, too.

Where are the others?

Now, that I'm able
to confirm your well-being,

all who fought
for the government office

came back alive.

That said...

the Muse Company
was recently attacked.

[gasps]

There were a lot
of injured people out there!

Where's Beatrice?

-And where is--
-Just calm down.

We relocated
our base of operations

to the government office.

The government office?

[SUBARU]
So, we got it back?

[door opens]

[FELIX]
Useless piece of garbage!

[thwacks]

I hope
one day you'll forgive me.

Make an excuse!

I want you to convince me
there was some reason

why all this
couldn't be avoided!

[FELIX] [sobbing]
Why is...

Why is everyone...

You made it back too, huh?

[RICARDO]
Here you forgot something.

Whoa, where did you find this?

It was used for
restraining the duchess

and to keep
the black dragon reined in.

Oh, so,

tell me
what happened to Crusch.

[JULIUS]
She did make it back,

but, she...

[sighs]

[FELIX]
I'm gonna go see Crusch.

[footsteps receding]

I wouldn't walk up there.

She was such
a pretty young woman.

It'll hurt for you
to see her now.

Lust has to
be responsible for this.

[JULIUS] There was some
kind of unknown substance

that entered her body,

and it's made her
suffer from the inside.

[EMILIA]
I see.

The four towers were
taken at the same time

and that's why nobody can move.

[EMILIA] Since the temple's
right next door

this has to be
the Third District.

With all
the Sin Archbishops here

if I can figure out
which one is in which tower,

I know that would help Subaru
and the rest of them.

[REGULUS] You still
don't seem to understand.

All I want to do is

have a wedding ceremony
with my destined bride.

I can assure you
I don't have any interest

in what you guys are doing.

With the exception
of the watergate.

Opening it was unacceptable.

Your self-serving actions
made my bride feel uneasy

and tainted
my glorious nuptials,

which should be the brightest
moment in my entire life!

This is a grave
violation of my rights!

[wind whooshing]

[REGULUS]
Your tower just happens to be

clearly visible
from my location.

From this distance,

it would be so easy
to blow it all away.

Really?

So, you aren't even
the one who opened it?

Oh, come on!

Am I supposed
to believe that excuse?

You, meat-obsessed woman!

[knocking on door]

[WIFE 1]
Dear husband,

may I have a word with you?

Hmm.

Yes, of course.

[door opens]

It's regarding the temple.

We'll be starting
on the interior soon.

[REGULUS] Oh, I had no idea
it was about to begin.

I'll be right there.

[footsteps receding]

[door opens]

[sighs]

That was a close one.

Since this is
the Third District

that has to be
the First District tower.

[EMILIA] And after hearing
what he just said

the one inside it
is the Sin Archbishop of Lust.

I have to tell
Subaru about this.

[wind whooshing]

[ANASTASIA] Why don't we get
straight to the point?

Beatrice is
an artificial spirit, right?

[gasps]

That's right.

She is an artificial spirit,
yeah.

[ANASTASIA] You admitted that
with little hesitation.

[SUBARU] What matters
is who our enemy's after.

And trying to hide it now

would only benefit them.

I suppose it could.

Yeah, I agree.

You are absolutely right.

Keeping that in mind,

there's one other thing
I need to say.

It's regarding
the Tome of Wisdom,

another one
of their conditions.

Okay, let's hear it.

'Cause this has been
k*lling me,

it is the one thing
that I knew nothing about.

Within the Witch's Cult,

this tome served as
the prototype of their Gospels.

It's the complete version
they were based on.

Who did you hear
all of that from?

[SUBARU]
The witch who made it.

You spoke with one directly?

Is that actually
how you learned of this?

Believe me, it is.

[grunts]

[SUBARU]
I met her, talked to her,

got deceived
and trapped by her.

[SUBARU]
She put me through a lot okay.

Now, there were two
Tomes of Wisdom originally,

but both of them
burned to ashes.

[SUBARU]
Which means neither one

should be around anymore.

[ANASTASIA]
There's a distinct possibility

that the Witch's Cult doesn't
know they were destroyed.

Yeah, you're right.

But there's still
the last condition,

the one about the "wedding
with the silver-haired girl."

Those nut jobs are
in for a big surprise!

[SUBARU]
I'm making sure they don't get

a single damn one!

Natsuki is absolutely right.

We can't give in
to the Witch's Cult's demands.

Kiritaka entrusted me
with this city

and all the people in it.

And where is he?

I heard he's missing.

So, I have to fulfill
his request.

I always repay my debts.

My pride as
a merchant of Kararagi

demands nothing less.

[JULIUS]
Now then,

all residents are
currently taking refuge

in shelters
throughout the city.

Many people staying
in them are filled with unrest

and in some cases,
it's brought out

their darker impulses.

Which could lead
to dangerous outbursts.

We're doing everything we can

to prevent as much harm
as possible but still...

Some shelters are a lost cause.

People are going
to end up dying.

In this case, I think
it's cowardly to mince words.

[JULIUS]
Anastasia.

[ANASTASIA]
There are already casualties

and there'll be more.

When your goal
is to save a majority,

suffering loss is inevitable.

I hear
what you're saying Anastasia

but you're wrong about this.

[ANASTASIA]
Hmm?

Because I never said anything
about ignoring small sacrifices

just to save
the larger majority.

There you go,
being silly again.

Then, it'd be no different

from what happened
that first time at the castle.

I mean, some didn't make it

when we defeated
the White Whale, too.

[ANASTASIA] If you're
a full-fledged knight now--

The ones who lost their lives
fighting in that battle

were all prepared for it.

That said,

doubting the resolve of people

whose city turned into
a w*r zone just isn't right.

And all those
who've made up their minds

need to be met by others

with the same level
of determination.

[SUBARU]
Never once forgetting that,

and always being ready
for what it means,

is the noble responsibility
of every knight.

That's why I won't
let anyone become a casualty.

'Cause those things matter.

And I'll never allow myself
to disregard them.

I am Emilia's knight

and I'm prepared
to go and fight for her.

But it doesn't mean

she's the only person
in this city

that I need to protect.

Because that wouldn't be
enough for me!
