03x25 - Clues

[bunniefuu]

In Clover Kingdom

where magic determines everything,

the only boy who cannot use magic

is called Asta.

With hard work and determination,
he joins the Magic Knights.

Despite being wounded and bruised,
he is still determined

to keep fighting towards his goal
with all his might.

Peasants or nobles,

poor or rich,

anyone in this world can shine.

He's working hard to prove that

and to become the Magic Emperor.

What?

My home?

You are scary.

Like the prickly ice queen said,

you are from a family
renowned for Curse Magic.

Can you ask them about
the curse of Forbidden Magic?

The curse of Forbidden Magic?

Yes, the curse of Forbidden Magic relies
on the power from the other realm

to intervene in this world
or the forms of lives.

The "other realm"

should be the world the devils live in.

I thought that maybe
you could get some information.

If there is no progress
to the investigation on devils,

my best friend Asta will…

I…

I was going to try to go again,
even though I think I'll fail.

This is for Asta.

Family of Curse Magic mages.

Because my family business
is to curse people,

I couldn't make any friends.

And my family…

When Asta was under the ancient
Curse Magic of the Third Eye,

I wrote to them
to ask how to lift the curse.

They refused to tell me.

But it's different now.

I have reliable companions by my side.

My arms are getting numb!

But it's not over!

My muscles are crying with pleasure!

Shut up!

My back is for Marie only.

Shut up and hold on tight!

It's embarrassing to meet strangers.

Reliable companions.

Thank you for all these efforts
to help me!

Why must I come with you?

It seems that
Noelle is in the Royal Capital.

Since you all look so sleepy,
you guys can head out too.

You are friends, right?

I don't want to go though.

I'll k*ll whoever refuses.

Our captain who abuses his power.

By the way, Gordon's family is renowned
for being Curse Magic mages.

But what are Curse Magic mages?

They are mages

who curse others

and use the misfortune of others
to earn money.

I don't like that.

I prefer to get along with people

than to curse them.

So I left my family like a runaway.

I see.

Since you ran away from home,

can we get anything out of your family?

Also, they're not going
to curse us, are they?

Being cursed by strangers

is so embarrassing!

Don't you care about being cursed?

No.

I suppose.

-Suppose?
-Suppose?

-I want to go back.
-I want to go back.

Let's go.

It's like a haunted house.

It's embarrassing
to meet ghosts I don't know of.

Grey, don't cling to me!

I wonder what Gordon's family is like.

I'm back.

It's me.

Gordon, you are back.

My brother.

You have finally returned home.

-They all look the same!
-They all look the same!

Let me introduce,

First, Nathan, my father.

Jonna, my mother.

Nilenia, my grandmother.

Roxanne, my little sister.

And…

It hurts!

…our beloved puppy, Nanalee.

-Even the dog looks alike.
-Even the dog looks alike.

-You can't do that to our guest.
-No, Nanalee.

Don't come close all at once.

Asta, are you okay?

Yes.

Please excuse me. I'm Asta.

They are Gauche and Grey.

They are my friends in Black Bull

that I have mentioned in my letter.

I see. You have come this far.

Please stay for dinner too.

Weren't you two strangers
before you got married?

Why are you all so alike?

Gordon, it's been a while since
you tasted your mother's dishes.

It must taste good.

The snake eyeballs are delicious.

I recommend you to try
the raw frog platter as well.

Bread? Where is my bread?

Grandmother, it's in your hands.

It was on the plate.

Where is the bread?

It's in your mouth.

Father, I have something to tell you.

I see. Do you want more?

No, Father.

They are mumbling here and there.

I can't hear anything they say.

This is so awkward.

What is this situation?

It's not easy to push me this far.

Say something.

Aren't we looking for information
on the curse of Forbidden Magic?

It's impossible.

Gordon, stop shivering. Ask them!

Hey, that's his grandmother!

This

looks disgusting,

but it's actually tasty!

Delicious!

Why are you having fun all by yourself?

I think we can be good friends.

Are you giving me something?

What is this?

Nathan.

You have grown.

You must protect the Agrippa Family.

Old lady…

Mother, you should go to bed now.

Nathan, I'm counting on you.

For the sake of our ancestor
who made the contract…

The Megicula's curse…

Okay.

Meggy?

I'm full.

It's suddenly quiet.

Okay.

Gordon, it's time to raise your question.

Father, I have something to say.

I basically abandoned the family,

so I probably have no right to ask,

but now I have a companion
whom I'll do everything to save.

For that companion,

could you tell me about

the curse of Forbidden Magic and devils?

Sure.

-It was that easy?
-It was that easy?

To not disgrace the century-long
reputation of our family,

please let me present to you our studies

on curses, poisons, diseases,

and arcane magics that control death.

Are you ready?

It's scary!

What is this?

Isn't it beautiful?

It's a research workshop for curses.

We study everything related to pain here.

Father, so you really were researching
such evil things.

Gordon, I have been looking forward
to see you come home.

That Poison Magic…

Your talents are qualified
to inherit my research.

I'm only here to ask

about the devils' curse for Asta.

Not for inheritance.

Don't say that.

I'll teach you everything about how
to k*ll with curses, poisons, and dr*gs

if you wish.

What do you think a person's life is?

Humans have short lives.

Your companion too.

Life is unpredictable.

Black Oil Creation Magic,

Curse-Filled Nails.

Everyone!

No!

-Asta!
-Asta!

Nothing happened?

Your temperature is normal. . degrees.

I don't see any physical abnormalities.

You really have no magical power.

Father, what is…

How is it?

The knowledge of poison to harm people

and curse-k*lling that are passed
through generations

can be used for
health maintenance and healing.

However,

However, this endeavor
starts with my generation.

So I can only cure simple illnesses.

I wasn't able to help
when your arms were afflicted

with an ancient curse.

What?

Wait. You said you use
curse-k*lling knowledge

for health maintenance and healing.

So are you a Healing Magic mage?

Yes.

Starting with my generation.

I didn't know.

I thought our family business
is cursing and k*lling.

You should communicate more!

It's not hard to misunderstand you
with these around.

You can't judge someone
based on their appearance.

Are you willing to help us, Father?

Of course.

What do you want to know about devils
and the curse of Forbidden Magic?

Tell me the details
of what happened first.

Okay!

Good.

Now I've sent most of the large debris

into my dreams.

It's actually done in an instant.

As expected from
the captain of Coral Peacock.

Thank you very much, Lady Dorothy.

I'm glad that you are awake.

Oh my.

Aren't you the youngest girl
of House Silva?

How may I help you?

I'm here to look for some answers.

About the truth behind my mother's death.

Did Nozel tell you to ask me?

Yes.

Yesterday, when I went to visit
Solid and the others…

Nozel, what did you say?

You said our mother didn't die
giving birth to me?

What?

When she was pregnant with you,

she already had a death thr*at
that was difficult to escape.

It was not an injury or an illness.

It was a death that
should not happen in this world.

"Should not happen in this world"?

But that sounds like

the work of the devils we're currently--

Your life will be in danger

if I keep going.

If you still want to take this risk
to find out the truth,

find Dorothy Unsworth,
the captain of Coral Peacock.

Tell me.

Why couldn't my mother escape
that death thr*at?

Okay.

I can never reject a cute girl.

So frivolous.

I'm counting on you all for the rest.

-Yes, Captain Dorothy.
-Yes, Captain Dorothy.

But there is nothing left to do.

Captain Dorothy's amazing
when she's actually awake!

May I know if my mother's death

involves the devil--

Didn't Nozel tell you?

You can't say it out loud

or you will be cursed.

At least, when you're in this world.

This is…

Welcome.

Dream Magic, Glamour World.

This is the world of dreams.

It's a space where I can do
whatever I want.

Please have some tea.

I use this place to punish
the bad guys I caught,

or like today,

to deliver buildings or injured people.

What in the world
is this large-scale spell?

So this is Glamour World?

Do whatever you want?

You're exaggerating.

It tastes good.

Noelle.

Hi.

Asta? Why are you here as well?

By the way,

you look cute today, Noelle.

What? Wait…

I want to look at your cute face forever.

You are too close!

That's the boy I created

from your thoughts.

That's right, I'm the boy that you love.

What? I'm not in love with you!

What?

But aren't you here for that kid too?

No, not at all!

After all, this is the best place
to talk about secrets.

Secrets?

Do you mean…

The thing about our mother.

This time, it's Nozel?

This is the Nozel I made from my memories.

You asked the real him
before coming to me, right?

Nozel has never told his other siblings

about your mother, Acier Silva.

She d*ed because of some devil's curse.

My mother?

But why didn't my brother tell anyone?

Whoever says it will die in the same way.

That was the curse that

your mother was under.

This is why Nozel didn't tell
your other siblings.

The curse can only be mentioned
in an isolated place like this one,

so you must come to me.

I'm sorry it took me so long
to tell you this, Noelle.

I don't want you to face any danger.

Noelle.

Nozel?

Noelle.

My lovely Noelle.

I have always loved you, my baby sister.

Noelle.

Nozel!

Wait, don't fool around with my brother.

But that's how Nozel always seems to me.

Why did I have a sudden shiver
down my spine?

Now that that Nozel has flown away,

let's continue.

The devils in the underworld

will not come to our world

unless there is an irregularity.

Mages can use forbidden magic, contract
them by paying a price of some sort,

and use their power in a limited way,
but that's it.

That's how it should be.

But the shadow is lurking around
in our world.

The devil's name is Megicula.

Megicula.

The devil that m*rder*d my mother

and the key to save Asta too.

I'm sorry to make you wait.

After listening to
what you said yesterday,

I've looked into

what our ancestors had to say
about the magic that collects curses.

Our family is the best

at searching curses.

Black Oil Creation Magic,

Curse Candle Ritual Desk.

Is this…

The Clover Kingdom?

So cool!

The fire symbolizes curse

and its intensity shows
depth and viciousness.

This is the map

that shows the disease
that's eroding this kingdom.

That flame is insanely fierce!

Wait.

Isn't that our base?

So there is someone in Black Bull
who is cursed too?

The only one in our squad
who's not normal is…

Well, Luck only thinks about fighting.

Finral only thinks about girls.

Vanessa only thinks about booze.

Captain Yami spends oddly
a long time pooping.

The point is

-everyone is abnormal.
-Everyone is abnormal.

No!

Pooping too long?
What kind of curse is that?

Speaking of which,

everyone here is undoubtedly unique too!

Being called unique is too embarrassing!

A skull!

I'm normal.

You are the one who has no magic
and only thinks about muscles.

You're not one to talk!

Speaking of magical power,

could this reaction to a curse

maybe come from Henry?

I see. The body that absorbs magical power

must have been cursed.

He is cursed.

He is cursed indeed.

There's a huge flame
in the Royal Capital as well.

We can't figure out
who exactly are cursed yet,

but if you include the smaller flames,
that's quite a few.

Can't we look at it on a bigger scale?

If it's too far,

the accuracy will be lowered.

This is…

There's one in Heart Kingdom!

There's a very big fire coming from there.

It might be a clue to the devil
we are looking for.

You're my father, Nathan.

We found some clues
on devils because of you.

Thank you, my father Nathan.

My best friends are happy.

Black Clover, Page ,

"To the Heart Kingdom!"

What? I have to stay behind?
