02x07 - The b*ttlefield Decision

[bunniefuu]

It appeared as if humanity will soon
be destroyed by the demons.

But there was a mage who fought alone
and saved everyone.

He was called the Magic Emperor
and became a legend.

Vetto cast an ancient curse

on Asta's arms.

His only hope of breaking this curse

is the Witch Queen,
who lives in the Witches' Forest.

However…

Frankly, the Queen is the strongest.

Not even the tyrannical Diamond Kingdom
dares to provoke her.

Moreover, she isn't amenable to reason.

I'm going.

There's a clue there
that might help heal Asta's arms.

Meanwhile, Vanessa has returned
to her homeland, the Witches' Forest,

also to help heal Asta's arms.

That's it!

-Okay!
-Okay!

When Asta and his group arrived
before the Witch Queen,

they saw…

Take your foot off her!

Ms. Vanessa is our friend!

How stupid.

What can imperfect beings
such as yourselves possibly do?

They are faster than I had anticipated.

The Eye of the Midnight Sun.

EYE OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN

The Eye of the Midnight Sun?

Why would they come here?

That's not possible!

You're just trying to scare us!

Imperfect.

If that was my intention,

I could just as easily
take your lives right now.

Why would I need to lie?

That person was at Nairn

along with the hairy muscular man
who made my arms this way!

They're the dangerous group
called the Third Eye!

If that's true,

they're as strong as Vetto

or even stronger!

How could this happen?

Please tell me you're lying!

Whatever.

I'll use my power to perfectly
eliminate these imperfect beings.

Notify everyone.

FANA, THE HATRED
EYE OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN

Within that forest lives the Witch Queen

who stole one of the magic stones.

Those who took Vetto's life
are also there.

Yes.

Perhaps they have also discovered
the location of the magic stone.

Unforgivable.

I will destroy everything
and get the magic stone.

This will make Master Licht very happy.

They and the Queen

seem to be at the heart of the forest.

Let's burn it all
and wait for them to come out.

Fire Spirit Magic,

Salamander's Breath.

Fire!

Enemy att*ck!

-The forest!
-Such…

Such terrifyingly powerful Fire Magic!

Salamander, the Fire Spirit.

It clearly hasn't
reached its perfect form,

yet it is already so powerful.

It is stronger than I had predicted.

This is an unexpected deviation.

As fate deviates,

more anomalies follow.

Don't tell me…

There is more!

Where is that?

It's near the border
of the Diamond Kingdom.

Yes.

As I suspected.

Although I believed this future
would occur a little later,

they are another force
that is attacking this forest.

The Diamond Kingdom army.

No way! They're heading here?

Honestly!

I was taking a relaxing aromatherapy bath.

Why was there an emergency summons?

It seems that
the Eye of the Midnight Sun intends

to inv*de the Witches' Forest.

We received orders to take the chance

to seize the land
and capture the Witch Queen.

We could do that easily

even if we didn't play these tricks.

An order is an order.

That pale-faced guy is

that powerful guy I fought at the dungeon!

I see! So he's still alive!

Is this the time to be happy?

Seriously?

What's happening here?

One strong enemy is bad enough!

This is beyond terrible!

Why do I keep finding myself
in these types of situations?

Is that boy Mars?

Then the one next to him must be Ladros.

Zell.

In any case,
we need to protect the Witches' Forest!

Eye of the Midnight Sun
or the Diamond Kingdom,

I'll defeat them both!

With your arms like that?

You're right!

-We only came here to heal your arms.
-Damn it! I forgot about my arms!

Yes, you're right.

I totally forgot about it
with everything that's going on!

-Seriously.
-Seriously.

Damn it!

Captain…

Asta!

What are you doing here?

Ms. Vanessa!

Thank goodness! You're awake!

Vanessa!

Honestly.

It was reckless of you to come here alone.

Noelle and Finral.

Even the two of you are here!

Those people look familiar too.

Although, one of them is naked.

No, this--

That's his fetish.

I've said it's not.

It's been a long time, Vanessa.

We were also searching for a way
to break the curse on Asta's arms

and ended up coming here too.

That's right!

Asta, just wait a bit longer.

I'll get the Queen to agree
to heal your arms.

No, thank you!

It would be in exchange
for your freedom, right?

I won't agree to those terms!

What?

Why are you deciding that on your own?

This is the only way, idiot!

Aren't you the one who is
deciding things on your own, Ms. Vanessa?

Why were you going to secretly
keep yourself confined here,

you alcoholic?

What else can be done,

shorty?

-Okay, you two.
-There has to be another way!

-Calm down.
-How could there be?

-Shut up!
-Shut up!

Even Asta too?

I'm your senior.

Even if you don't do this,

I still have my last resort.

Hold on, Asta!

He looks a bit deranged, doesn't he?

I have a bad feeling.

What are you planning on doing?

This!

That sword.

That hurts!

-Asta!
-Asta!

What are you doing, idiot?

The curse reaches deep into your arms.

Even if you try to hurt yourself,

you can't always overcome
the fate that befalls you.

Is it my fate to be unable to heal my arms

unless I sacrifice my friends?

Who would want to comply
with that kind of fate?

Even if I have to b*at fate,

I'm going to fight with these arms!

My fate is to stay right here?

Sure. Mr. Fate, is it?

I hate that guy.

Who would want to comply with that?

Even if I have to destroy fate,
I'm going to do whatever I want.

This kid said
the same thing as Captain Yami did.

I'll try again!

Idiot!

Stop this at once!

Friends don't exist to be sacrificed!

They're to help you win against a fate
that you can't b*at on your own!

I don't want to sacrifice myself
for you either.

I had planned to use the Queen

to heal your arms,

then use your Anti Magic

to escape this hellish place!

Crap.

What? You should've said so earlier.

No, you absolutely shouldn't
say that sort of thing out loud.

Hey. Your Highness.

If you have a way of breaking
the curse on Asta's arms, do it quickly.

Your forest is facing
imminent catastrophe.

He's thinking of helping
the people outside.

He might be an idiot but he's very strong.

He can be useful to you if you heal him.

Moreover,

when he fights,

all of us fight with him.

The enemy is very strong.

You could use all the manpower
you can get, right?

If you're a queen,

then make the choice
that best protects your forest!

Indeed, the Witches' Forest's
current combat power

is imperfect
in fighting off foreign enemies.

All right.

I will heal that brat's arms.

I'll even make them sturdier than before.

Even sturdier than before?

Really?

Will I be as buff as Captain Yami?

I don't think so.

Sturdy doesn't mean buff.

What? Can't you help me out here?

There's no point in asking me.

Noelle, you're so brave!

Yes, I've never seen anyone

talk down to Her Majesty before!

I'm royalty too.

Even now, my legs are still trembling!

Be happy while you still can.

But in the end,

Vanessa and the power
of that brat's Anti Magic Sword

will be mine.

Blood Healing Magic,

Curse-Breaking Blood Cocoon.

My arms feel so light!

This feels amazing!

She performed
such a high-level spell in an instant.

This is the power of the Queen.

Awesome!

They're completely healed!

Look!

-Asta!
-Asta!

When my back itches,

I won't have to rub against a pillar!

I can even pick my nose!

Best of all, I can work out again!

-Asta.
-Goodness.

He sure is an idiot.

Well, I don't know
if they're any sturdier,

but I can feel my power surging!

All right. Let's go, everyone!

-Okay!
-Okay!

All right. Let's go, everyone!

-Okay!
-Okay!

-Wait!
-Wait!

Is that what you should be saying?

Do you know how worried we all were?

You're a reckless idiot!

You were about to become handicapped!

-Damn you, brat!
-Take this!

Here, this is your robe!

-Thank you, everyone.
-Take this!

-Sorry for the trouble!
-Take this!

No effect!

It's so hard.

What's this? A strengthening spell?

No, it's pure muscle!

This is great, Asta.

Yes, I also have to thank you, Zell.

I have held up my end of the deal.

Now show me the power that you guys have.

Yes, leave it to me.

Thank you for healing my arms.

Asta, let me handle
the Diamond Kingdom warriors.

I have a history

with Mars and Ladros.

Okay, Old Man Zell. Don't die.

Right.

Also, please put on a shirt.

Right.

You too.

Burn!

Have all of you surrendered
after one strike from Lady Fana?

You're so weak.

Look there!

Are they the enemy that you pointed out?

How dare they do this!

-Let's go, Akimo!
-Yes!

We have to protect the forest!

What is this thing?

Don't be cowards.

It's Her Majesty's Golem.

Who are these people?

The Third Eye sends thrills through me.

Not only is she unbelievably strong

but she's also beautiful.

If possible,

I really wish to have a go with her.

But…

I'll have to settle
for those lowly witches today.

att*ck!

-Yes!
-Yes!

Capture those who look rather lively.

Witches that are expert magic users

will make wonderful slaves, after all.

No!

Are you okay?

How awful! A man saved me!

Muscles are so gross!

What was that for?

Witches all believe

that they, women, are the best.

I'm sorry that happened
even though you saved her.

I'll put out the fire.

Please do, Noelle.

I'll save the witches.

I'm counting on you, Finral.

The audacity they have!

Even though this is a hellish place,
it's still my homeland.

I will protect it!

Let's go, Asta!

Okay!

It's coming into sight. I can't wait.

We are prepared to att*ck.

You sure are full of spirit.

But, no.

Not yet.

There's no fun in taking on small fries.

Let's wait a bit and then enjoy

the ones who survive.

Right.

Are they here?

Even with witches on our side,

those forces still greatly outnumber us.

But it still depends on how they're used.

Right, Mr. Fanzell?

Yes.

Let's split up.

But I promised that I'll protect you.

Thank you, Zell,

but now isn't the time to say that.

As a genius commander,

you should've
already known the answer, right?

That's the only way to win this.

I understand.

I caught so many different slaves.

Let go of me!

That bastard!

How dare he touch my lovely ladies!

Judging by
the number of mages protecting him,

he must be the commander.

Ms. Vanessa!

Please use your threads

to toss me up towards him!

But at that distance,

I won't be able to support you.

Do you want to fight in the air
in circumstances you can't control?

It's okay.

If you say so, then I trust you.

What is that guy doing?

What an idiot!

He's actually flying straight for us.

Take this!

No, you take this!

He's the Anti Magic brat
who defeated Lord Vetto!

k*ll him.

What? He used the enemy
as stepping stones!

What a reckless boy.

Well, that's just how Asta is.

You guys are always causing trouble!

Who is this boy?

When Asta is like this,

he's unstoppable!

Stop it already!

Take this chance to run!

You're a man! Don't give me orders!

I won't thank you!

Let's get out of here!

What?

Found you.

How dare you k*ll Vetto!

Crap, I'll die!

Hell, I'm not afraid of you!

I made it just in time.

Thank you very much!

You keep getting in my way
again and again.

I'll k*ll you this time.

No matter how many att*cks
you throw at me,

I'll send them right back to you!

-Petite Clover!
-Petite Clover!

Not Yet!

CUP O' MAGIC NOODLES

When watching the battle,

nothing is better than eating
a Cup o' Magic Noodles!

But, no.

It's not ready yet!

After pouring in magic,
you have to wait three minutes

for it to be ready!

Ladros, it should be time.

Not yet!

I like my noodles to be firm.

No, not yet!

-No.
-Not yet!

-I can do what I want.
-Not yet!

-Hey!
-Not yet!

Not yet!

Done!

I'm digging in!

I'm full.

So fast?

Asta, it's great
that your arms are healed!

The Witch Queen is powerful,
albeit a bit scary.

She's even quite beautiful too.

Older ladies have their charm too.
