02x51 - Two Miracles

[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.

The leader of Eye of the Midnight Sun?

And that sword…

Licht woke up
from centuries of deep slumber.

Asta and Yuno were overwhelmed
by his tremendous magic and power.

Yuno is…

Asta is…

-my rival!
-my rival!

Even their perfectly matched combo att*ck

had no effect on Licht.

Let's go then.

Let's get our other companions

and exterminate the human race.

Asta and Yuno
barely made it out of the base.

They rushed to the Royal Capital
with their other comrades

to save the Clover Kingdom

and the Magic Knights
that were reincarnated as elves.

However…

Poison Plant Magic,

Zofnir's Garden of Lingering Burns!

That's…

-Hage Village!
-Hage Village!

Asta and Yuno noticed that
their hometown, Hage Village,

was under att*ck.

Don't hurt her!

Nash, no!

Asta, Yuno.

You are so brave.

Nash.

-Let us handle the rest.
-Let us handle the rest.

I'm impressed that you were able
to block my att*ck. Very good.

The original host of this body
seems to be a Magic Knight too.

But what about this?

Poison Plant Magic,

Zofnir's Breath

and Zofnir's Fingers.

Do you want to be poisoned like the others

or be strung together?

Pick one.

-No way!
-No way!

They are both incredible!

This is a miracle.

They were abandoned outside
the church on the same day.

They grew up in the village.

They both wanted to be the Magic Emperor.

They left the village
and went on an adventure.

Asta and Yuno

have become very powerful.

They are saving the village.

Asta told me this before,

"If you don't give up,
you can make your dreams come true.

You can make others happy."

That's right.

Even though we haven't
seen them for so long,

we all know

how hard those two have worked for
their dream to become the Magic Emperor.

Oh my?

That's the way, Yuno!

He made it into the Magic Knights!

He made us proud!

Yuno is awesome.

Awesome!

I must let the entire village know!

Well, Sister Lily,

what else does the letter from Asta say?

His handwriting is so ugly.

Did he say when he'll be back?

We need to cheer him up when he gets back.

I think even the cheerful Asta

would feel depressed.

We need to have a super party!

He said that he passed.

-What?
-What?

Asta passed too.

-What?
-What?

-For real?
-For real?

Did he really pass?

Then that means

he's not coming back, right?

I see. So both of them passed.

All right.
I'll let the entire village know!

This is the best news
in history for Hage Village!

-The best news!
-The best news!

I see. Asta passed as well?

He passed!

After that,

the letters that Asta and Yuno sent

became something we looked forward to.

Sister Lily,
I hope this letter finds you well.

Nash, Recca, Aruru, and Hollo,

how are you guys doing?

The first assignment
after joining Black Bull

was fighting a wild boar.

I also met a really powerful
and mysterious foe.

Why persist when you don't have
any chance of winning?

If I give up, who's going to protect them?

I realized that…

I am not doing this
just because of the promise.

I want to be the Magic Emperor

because I want to protect everyone!

Asta, get ready.

Have a taste

of the magic I have left!

All I have concentrated into one blow.

Fire Magic,

Exploding Fireball!

Is that all you have left?

You've really wasted so much…

of my time.

It's not!

The decoy of blind angle.

Rebound magic.

I'm not done yet.

I can still move my body.

Wait…

Like hell I'll wait!

Although I won the combat,

I could neither stop him
from k*lling himself

nor protecting all villagers.

Judging from this,

I still have a long way to go
in becoming the Magic Emperor.

But I shall never give up.

He is second to none when it comes
to not giving up on his goal.

Asta, keep working hard.

Keep working hard.

"By the way, Sister Lily, please marry me.

Yours truly, Asta."

-Asta is still the same.
-You should give up on that already.

Let's read Yuno's letter next.

-Hurry!
-Hurry!

Yuno!

Wait, let me read it.

Let me see.

"Hi, everyone.

When I went to the headquarters
of the Magic Knights,

I met the Magic Emperor.

Yours truly, Yuno."

-That's awesome!
-That's awesome!

What else did he say?

That's all.

Yuno's letters are always very short.

Asta actually wrote a lot more about that.

Let me see.

"Yuno and I went to the headquarters
to give a report about a mission."

This is…

We didn't expect that my lord
would see us in person.

Who's the old man with all his tricks?

You fool!

This man is the current Magic Emperor,
Lord Julius Novachrono.

What?

This man is the current…

The Magic Emperor.

Whatever it is,
you've done really well this time.

Well done.

Excuse me.

Can I ask something?

What is it?

What do I have to do

-to become a Magic Emperor?
-To become a Magic Emperor?

Well. You all want to be
a Magic Emperor, right?

All members of Magic Knights
want to be one.

It's rude of you to ask the Magic Emperor
such a question.

Listen, the Magic Emperor
has a noble heart

-and he's deeply trusted by the people--
-No.

It's achievements.

Dignity alone can't protect people.

Trust comes naturally
when you have achievements.

There's only one requirement we ask
of a Magic Emperor.

It's what we called
the strongest achievement.

Bring out your achievements.

The effort to accumulate achievements.
That is all.

People who can't do that
can't be at the top.

-Just what I like.
-Just what I like.

Accumulating the "strongest" achievements

may sound simple.

But it is an onerous task.

I need to accumulate my achievements.

Asta and Yuno are doing their best
in a world that

we who live on the outskirts
of the Forsaken Realm could never imagine.

Their achievements

brought us courage and hope.

But…

Hage Villagers,

my next assignment

is exploring the Seabed Temple.

After receiving that letter,

we had not received
any other letter from Asta.

Although some say that
no news is good news,

ever since Asta stopped
sending us letters,

we've been worried about his safety.

But after a long while,
we received a really long letter.

It was so long, it was as if
he was trying to fit everything in.

Everybody was shocked.

Hage Villagers,

I'm so sorry for not writing to you
for quite some time.

It was because even if I wanted to,

I couldn't.

Asta's letter mentioned that

when he was fighting an organization

called the Eye of the Midnight Sun
at the Seabed Temple,

curse magic was placed on his arms.

According to the diagnosis,
he'd never be able to write letters,

let alone hold a sword.

Once his comrades in the Black Bull
found out about this,

they frantically went to look for a cure.

And then,

under the magic treatment
of the Witch Queen

at the Witches' Forest, he was healed.

My magic is in

never giving up!

It looks like you have undergone
a major transformation.

What are you trying to prove
by doing that?

I won't let you get away!

Damn it!

What's going on?

Who the hell are you?

Get out of my sight!

Why?

I have kicked everyone down
to get to the top!

What's with you?

Compared to you who kick others down,

I am stronger because I have people

who pull me up!

Black Meteorite!

Not long after that,

both Asta and Yuno's letters mentioned

they have been acknowledged

by the people at the Royal Capital

at the Star Awards Festival
for their achievements.

What an astounding entrance.

He's the most active
new member of Black Bull,

-Asta.
-That's nothing.

Thank you. Hi, everyone.

-Yuno and Asta placed first and second
-Thank you for rooting for me.

-in obtaining stars among all the rookies.
-Gosh! I'm looking forward to it.

It's been less than half a year
since they joined the squad,

but they have obtained
great achievements already.

They also come from the same town
and grew up together.

Both are roughly years old.

They are both very impressive youngsters.

I wonder which noble houses they are from.

No, it seems that they are both peasants!

Haha!

And that guy named Asta

has no magic at all.

Peasants?

Really?

He has no magic.

Did they really gain
their achievements fair and square?

Gosh! What's with these people?

Belle.

What is it?

Full force.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Yuno, what are you doing?

Asta.

Do you remember the training
that we did when we were kids?

Why do you always do a surprise att*ck?

Besides, we're not kids anymore!

Are you going to k*ll me
on this big stage, you prick?

If you lose your life just like that,
you're not good enough.

-Thankfully, you're still alive.
-What did you say?

That magic was shockingly powerful.

He even blocked it!

They are in a different league from mine.

After seeing their power,

if there's anyone suspecting
their achievements,

please come forward.

True, they are peasants.

But they work harder than anyone

to reach here.

Proud citizens of the Clover Kingdom,

please give a round of applause
to the new Magic Knights.

Let us overlook the difference in status,

unite together
and lead this kingdom to success!

Magic Emperor.

The peasants are pretty impressive.

That's right.
Status is not important these days.

Let's work together!

Yuno.

Yes.

We…

actually made it this far.

Hage Villagers,

I…

I…

-will become the Magic Emperor!
-will become the Magic Emperor!

It grows back again no matter
how much we chop them off.

This will never end.

Father!

Hang in there!

Please don't die.

Poison?

If it's the Demon-Slayer Sword,

maybe they can be cured like before.

Yuno!

You can take him on alone
for a while, right?

Of course!

I actually want to defeat him on my own!

Okay, take over for now.

Father!

Asta, Father tried to protect us.

Please work!

Damn it. It's not working?

It's not a spell anymore.

The magic has taken effect

and the poison's circulating
through his body.

-Father.
-Am I beyond help?

Father, hang in there!

Is that you, Asta?

I got to see you and Yuno
after you've grown so much.

That made me really happy.

This must be a reward from God.

What are you talking about?

To think that little Asta

has become so reliable.

Please

take care of the rest.

-Father!
-Father!

Father!

Not yet.

Father, I'm not done yet!

No, you can't die!

You still need to see how much more I…

How much more we can grow!

This sword…

At the base of the Eye
of the Midnight Sun, that guy used it too.

When did it get into my grimoire?

This sword might work.

I used to change those boys' diapers.
They've grown so much!

You two are my precious sons!

Just so you won't misunderstand,
they are my adopted children.
