03x41 - The Tilted Scale

[bunniefuu]

In Clover Kingdom

where magic decides everything,

the only boy who has no magic, Asta,

is working very hard

to become the Magic Emperor.

In this kingdom,
there are some who can use magic,

but because of their weak magical power,

they can hardly wield any decent magic.

These people, who take up a small portion
of the population,

live in the shadows.

They are still trying to survive each day.

Run!

-Mother!
-Help!

This is Clover Kingdom's

night of chaos brought
by the spirits' reincarnation.

Darling!

Mother, hang in there!

Dazu, who lived in Tiulyu,

lost her husband and mother-in-law.

Bow, who was also from Tiulyu,
visited Kabwe

from the Magic Parliament with Dazu.

Kabwe had a strong hatred for the devils.

Asta, Nero, and Marie were judged

as associates of the devil,

but their sentences were suspended
for six months.

Kabwe expressed strong discontent
with Damnatio,

so they finally took action.

Claiming the name Devil Banishers,

they kidnapped Marie in a church in Nairn.

We won't let you get away this time,
associates of the devil.

I'm not an associate of the devil.

We must bring the scale
that has tilted to darkness

back to the light.

Let's go.

Help!

Gauche!

Gauche!

At the same time,
in the base of Black Bull,

Asta and Nero, who were in a coma,
were being taken away.

Let Nero go.

Asta…

What are you doing?

Let Asta and Nero go now!

Sealing Magic, Inverse Release!

My body…

Oh no, I'm dying.

Hurry and take them.

Water Creation Magic, Sea Dragon's--

Plant Magic,

-Waterball--
-Flower on the Roadside!

Let's go.

Asta! Nero!

She's fast.

Sea Dragon's Waterball!

Luckily, Noelle showed up in time
to stop them.

But Nero was taken away.

And Asta…

Wait. Who are you?

We are the Devil Banishers.

We are people
who want to destroy the devil.

You won't get away with this.

Give Nero back.

Asta, open your eyes!

Asta!

Did it go well for you?

How about you?

Pretty good.

Where is Asta?

I'm sorry.

Someone got in our way.

Is that so?

But that kid is now…

in a deep sleep.

How is Asta?

Is he alive?

Don't worry.

He is alive.

So why is he still in a coma?

If he has been cast by the magic

that causes him to sleep
despite being alive…

Relax.

Asta is not sleeping because of magic.

Okay.

Asta keeps sleeping because…

Wait.

What happened?

Why did you bring me here?

Asta?

Is the kid still sleeping?

You said it's not magic
that makes him fall asleep.

What do you mean?

Dr. Quack.

Are you trying to say
that he is on sleeping pills?

You got me.

I'm truly surprised.

We don't know who did this,

but they formulated a very powerful drug.

But why did they choose
to use sleeping pills?

I don't understand either.

But he should wake up in time

after getting some rest.

That's good.

They spent quite a lot of effort
to make him sleep.

It means that they didn't mean
to k*ll him.

Let's see what changes
Asta's body will have.

TOWN IN THE COMMON REALM, NAIRN

Old woman, this is too much.

This is the third time.

The third time?

That's the number of times
Marie gets into danger.

The first time

was when these guys took her.

The second time
was the trial not long ago.

And now, this.

It's unforgivable.

-I must k*ll you this time.
-Gauche.

Don't be rude to the elderly.

Shut up.

It's not about my status as a senior,
it's about my dignity.

It happened when I was gone

and I don't plan to justify myself.

But I want to ask you.

Instead of interrogating an old woman,

don't you have other priorities?

Where is Marie?

You brat.

What happened to Marie?

Who are you?

Speak or I'll k*ll you!

A few people who were wearing masks

and called themselves
"Devil Banishers" took Marie.

Who are those people?

I don't know.

They said something very odd.

Just tell me now!

I remember they said,

"Bringing the scale
that has tilted to darkness

back to light."

Scale?

What is this?

Is it poison?

Your potion is incredible.

Thank you.

What a tasteless mask.

My body…

Oh no, I'm dying.

This is what happened.

I can't believe he fell
for this old trick.

Now I remember,

they didn't use any powerful magic.

Are they worried
that we will sense their magic?

That's why Henry didn't wake up.

Yami, leave me be.

They att*cked our base when I was gone

and took one of our members.

I wonder who they are.

They really look down on me.

What is that sound?

Chairman Damnatio, what was that?

Do the Black Bulls not even know
how to open a door?

Where is Marie?

Marie?

Did something happen to your sister?

Stop acting.

I know you took her again.

Is this some kind of a joke?

Are you going to act through it?

I'm not acting, but…

What you did is forbidden by the rules.

It seems I must punish you.

Stand back, both of you.

-Yes.
-Yes.

This is the…

Scale Magic, Scale Regulate.

Let me take you, an ex-convict,

to where you belong.

Try me if you can.

Mirror Magic, Reflect Ray.

Chairman Damnatio!

-Mirror Magic, Real Double.
-Mirror Magic, Real Double.

He uses a mirror to make a double himself?

Sadly, I have seen your magic
during the trial.

-The same trick won't work twice.
-The same trick won't work twice.

It seems I have underestimated you.

Kneel.

What is happening?

Seize these men.

-Yes.
-Yes.

It seems you are taking care
of my members again.

I know you don't like him,

but it's over the line.

And you ordered my errand boy around.

Do you know how much magical power it took
to get myself here?

Didn't you say it was nothing?

Why did you do it?

This guy with a mole on the chin

took Marie again!

Are you done?

Who else would have done it?

Those masked people
who took Marie said something like,

"Bringing the scale
that has tilted to darkness

back to light."

It sounds exactly like what you'd say.

Did you say, "masked people"?

So what?

You said it, right?

I didn't see them.

I didn't see them myself.

What did you say?

Besides Marie, there was…

They didn't only take the kid, Nero too…

You are the criminal indeed.

I don't understand
what you mean by "indeed."

Marie, Asta, and Nero.

You didn't punish them back then,

so you used force this time, right?

I'll leave Asta and Nero to you.

You can't!

Return Marie to me!

Marx, show them my memories.

Understood.

Once I've proven my innocence,

you must take responsibility
for your rude actions.

There are no memories related
to the kidnapping.

So it proves my innocence.

You are not only rude,

but you accused me of being a kidnapper.

I'll make you pay for it.

Fine.

You do whatever you want,

but only after I've saved Marie.

I don't recall promising you that.

Wait.

The guy that argued with you doesn't seem

to be here.

Is he really this ruthless
to not come to visit?

Lord Julius.

What happened?

Sorry to interrupt.

I want to show something
to Yami and the others.

I don't have the time--

He should arrive at any moment now.

Excuse me.

Nozel.

The signal is from

the bracelet-like device installed

to keep track
of Asta's location at all times.

Right now,
the signal is continuously delivered

from Tiulyu in the Common Realm.

So it means…

Someone else took it?

Only a few people

who were present know about the bracelet.

And to be able to remove it,

it must be Nero.

She took the bracelet

to let us know her location.

That means it's very probable
that Marie is in this town too.

-Finral--
-Finral, let's go.

Excuse me.

I've never been to Tiulyu.

So must we ride on the brooms?

Captain.

I'll come with you.

My friend's sister

is my sister too.

What? Who is whose sister now?

Wait, it may be a trap--

-Shut up, Mushroom Head.
-Mushroom…

A trap or not,

it's the only clue.

Gauche is right.

Let's move.

Wait.

I'm not done with the criminal.

-What--
-Can't you see the timing?

Stop being petty.

-My members are--
-Yami.

Didn't I ask Black Bull to take charge
of monitoring Nero?

So?

They are Devil Banishers, right?

If we don't take her back from them

and continue the mission,
we will be in trouble.

I hope the trial
will be postponed until then.

Damnatio, would you agree?

I understand.

Yami, I'm counting on you.

Okay.

May I ask you for another favor?

What is it?

I know having a member kidnapped

is troubling your heart.

But this situation is a different one
from the trial.

Your reckless action

will bring danger
to your kidnapped member.

I know it.

Good.

Brats, let's go.

-Yes.
-Yes.

-I'll come with you.
-What?

Nozel?

Nozel.

Why are you helping us?

I can't let this stupid thing

cost us a necessary power
against the devil.

That's it.

You are just worried about your sister.

Stop acting cool.

You and your complex self-esteem.

Shut up or
you will be in big trouble, Foreigner.

Why are you
cutting the necessary power yourself?

Is it there?

TOWN OF TIULYU

This town…

This is where the hideout of
Eye of the Midnight Sun passed by, no?

Marie, please wait for me.

This is…

What's wrong?

It's the same as this one.

Is there a magic tool
to disrupting magic-sensing?

They shouldn't sense it

in this remoteness.

But it seems…

They're staying cautious
and using disruptive means.

Did they find out about the bracelet?

Perhaps.

Regardless,

it's always better to be careful.

I agree,

but do we have to land this far away?

Are you stupid?

Not only Marie and Nero,

but there are also
a bunch of people they have captured.

What do you think will happen

if we force our way in?

-Gauche.
-What?

Do you have a photo of your sister?

What do you want to do with it?

Come on, how can we look for clues
without any photos?

True.

-You must return them to me.
-Okay.

We don't know what will happen,

so we should stay cautious.

Don't go to the town alone.

Gau-Go-Buddies are alive.

I don't remember partnering up with you.

There is nothing to be embarrassed about.

-Noelle, let's go.
-Yes.

Then I will…

Do you have any problems with me?

That's impossible.

There is barely any progress
on reconstruction.

There is limited manpower
to help with this.

The damage in this area
seems to be particularly severe.

But this is too…

Yami.

Yes, I wonder how many graves were added

after the Eye of the Midnight Sun's riot?

-Petite Clover!
-Petite Clover!

Devil Banishers.

Hey, you!

You must bring Nero and Marie back

from those whatever people.

Let's see, their name is…

Devil Dentist-ers.

It's "banishers."

Devil Needlers.

It's "banishers."

Devil Four-Batters.

It's "banishers."

Devil Night Containers.

It's "banishers."

Devil News Reporters.

It's "banishers"!

Devil Publishers.

It's "banishers"!

Devil Banishers.

I said it's…

Wait, that's correct.

I hate devils.

But this country needs Asta's power.

will soon be destroyed.
