Hey! Gowther! Where are you?
Gowther!
Gowther, where are you?
Say, Cap'n, did you know Gowther was a puppet?
Yeah.
I also knew the person who created him.
He was a wizard so powerful even the Demon King respected him.
But because of that power, he was chosen to be the Selflessness of the Ten Commandments.
That Commandment makes anyone with selfish desires lose all memories and emotions.
Thus the Demon King confined him in prison.{isn't the Demon King the one coming up with those Commandments? seems rather silly}
He created Gowther to remain as his proxy in the outside world.
I heard he based the appearance on the woman he loved,
but made Gowther male, so he would feel no lust.
Pretty sad story.
Yeah.
I had a soul?
I don't understand.
Why did I run the moment I saw that thing in Baltra's hand?
I can't remember anything.
What am I afraid of?
The castle?
Why did I come here?
This noise!
No!
This is a bad place.
If I don't know what's wrong with me,
I have to erase everything, including my memories!
Lost World!

Episode 8
A Puppet Seeks Love
45 Years Ago
Where am I?
I...
Oh, hold on.
I-I'm sorry I startled you.
Who are you?
Hey, wait!
I'm not going to hurt you, okay?
Please, don't be scared.
Scared?
Yes, it's all right.
I'm Nadja.
m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100
Princess of the Kingdom of Liones Nadja
What's your name?
I'm Gowther.
Gowther?
That's quite a strong name for someone with such a cute face.
Oh, I mean that in a good way.
By the way, are you a boy or a girl?
Boy.
Let me take a better look at your face.
I know this. Soft boobs means girl.
Pervert!
You're scary!
Don't do that kind of thing!
So, anyway, how did you get down here?
I don't know.
I think I was here all along.
I woke up just before you showed up.
You couldn't have been here for long.
This cave is under the Liones Castle.
Liones?
What's that? There's no kingdom by the name.
What are you talking about?
Liones is a major kingdom on par with Danafor.
Oh, no!
I have to get back, or someone will notice!
I have to go, okay.
Don't leave me!
Don't make such a sad face.
Sad?
I'll come see you soon.
I promise.
Really?!
And now you smile all of a sudden.
You're like a big baby.
Sister...
Didn't you promise that you wouldn't go exploring on your own?
What if you felt ill again?
Sure, but get this!
There's a huge cave under the castle just like you saw in your dream.
So it exists...
And in there I met an interesting boy.
He's like someone from a fairy tale.
What?
My heart is still racing.
Sister...
Well, good night.
Liones, Danafor...
I don't know those names.
What is this place?
If I estimate how many years have passed since this tree fractured...
3,000 years?!
This is
the Fairy King's Forest.
Now I remember.
I was with him.
Where is he?!
Gowther, listen carefully.{that's one well preserved corpse}
That's my first and last gift to you.{ep06 @ 07:33}
I hope you can achieve the dream that I couldn't.{ep06 @ 09:00}
Gowther...
Gowther!
Nadja!
I came back, just like I promised.
There we go.
I have a present for you today.
A present?
I don't want anything.
Why?
If you give me a present, you'll go away too!
What are you talking about?
Why would I—
Oh, my.
Gowther, have you been crying?
Crying?
It's just that water was flowing out and I couldn't stop it.
Were you that lonely?
There, there.
I'm sorry.
To cheer you up, I'm giving you one of my treasures!
Here!
It's a story of adventure full of excitement and thrills.
A story?
I really love the main character, Meldor.
My health is poor, so I can't leave the castle,
which means I'm always reading books.
Reading is so much fun.
It makes you feel like you've been pulled into the world in the pages.
If you can't read, I can read it for—
I read it all!
What?
It was very interesting.
But there was one thing I couldn't make sense of.
Meldor's blonde hair goes down below his knees,
but in chapter five he goes into battle in full armor.
So much hair would be very inconvenient in full armor.
A-Awesome!
How did you do that?!
Gowther, are you a wizard?
I'm not a wizard.
I... I'm a puppet created by a wizard.
What? A puppet?
This is a magical heart that he filled up with soul magic for me.
That... Is such a thing—
Wh-What's wrong?!
Good morning, Sister.
Baltra?
What happened?
A maid found you unconscious near the basement entrance.
Did something scary happen with the boy you mentioned?
Yes, very much so.
Gowther isn't Meldor from the story, or a wizard, or even human.
Yet I'm so drawn to him it's a bit scary.
You hear that?
Nadja!
Oh no! You were listening?!
Why are you dressed in women's clothes?!
Actually, it was Gowther who carried you here.
Being dressed as a maid, he can come into your room without the soldiers getting suspicious.
What if he develops a weird habit out of it?!
I'm so glad you didn't come to hate me!
G-Gowther?!
I don't want to go back down there and feel alone—
no... feel sad!
You can't do this in front of my brother.
Meldor hugged the princess when she awoke.
A-Anyway, I'm not going to hate you, so don't worry!
This is for me?
They're Father's old clothes, but they look great on you.
You're like a real Meldor.
Princess Nadja.
Yes?
In this night beneath the shining moon,
depart on a journey with me!
You know, this is my first time riding a horse.
Actually, it's my first time too.
What?!
So, Gowther, you suddenly started acting more confident than before.
You're speaking somewhat like Meldor.
You like Meldor, don't you?
What?
I want you to like me too.
I like you no matter how you are.
Baltra,
I heard that you foresaw Nadja and me meeting.
Yes, occasionally I have special dreams, called omens.
It's almost frightening how accurate they can be.
Last night I had another.
Sister was smiling with true joy,
so please stay by her side.
I'm sorry, I have to stay in bed today.
Don't worry about it. Rest as much as you need.
Next time, let's take the horse to the shore of Lake Penace.
Gowther, when we met you were like a newborn goat,
but now nobody would think you're a puppet.
Still, I'm not a person.
My body and soul are artificial.
I'll probably just continue existing.
For hundreds and thousands of years.
You should be in bed.
You're no different.
What's inside of me and what's inside of you,
they're both the same kind of soul.
Nadja, are you going to disappear?
I'm sorry, Gowther.
Your heartbeat is getting weaker all the time.
It's getting really bad.
And Gowther,
the one who made me,
he also disappeared.
He was confined for a long time.
That's why he made me.
So he could connect to the world through me.
I was his eyes and ears, his hands and legs.
And before disappearing, these are the words he left me:
"I hope you can achieve the dream that I couldn't."{like before}
But he didn't say what that dream was.
Then I think you're already achieving his dream.
To see things with your own eyes,
Nadja...
to hear with your ears,
Her small, clear voice.
to touch with your hands,
Her soft, cold skin.
to feel.
Gowther, you also fulfilled my dream.
To spend my last hours with you.
Thank you.
Nadja?
Nadja?!
No!
Don't disappear yet!
There's so much more I want you to teach me.
No! I still want to be with you!
Hey, what was that?
It came from Princess Nadja's room.
If it's for you, I don't care what happens to me.
Princess Nadja! What's the matter?
Please open the door.
Damn it! We have no choice.
Excuse the intrusion, Princess Nadja!
What's the—
Why, Nadja?
Isn't my heart able to save you?
Don't leave me behind.
Puppet Gowther!
You seduced the princess out of lust,
and after performing an indecent act, you murdered her in a cruel fashion.
You are beyond any vindication!
For this deadly sin, I sentence you to burn at the stake!
How could you do that to Sister!
Stop, Denzel.
That's not what happened.
Huh?
He's not that kind of person.
Even if you're not human,
please don't forget what you saw, Gowther.
Sister was smiling until the very end.
She was happy to her final moment that she shared with you.
If a soul is so painful, then I don't need one.
I don't want to remember anything!
I want to be a mere puppet again.
No!
What are you doing, Diane?
You were about to erase your own memories, weren't you?
That means you started to remember something, right?
I was merely doing what was necessary to remove the noise I experienced.
And what if that was your soul?
I have no soul!
Don't interfere!
Power level{was that what we use?} 15,100?
Impossible.
King?
Power level 41,600?
You too?
You can't, Gowther!
I have to erase this noise once more.
I have erased my own memories once before.
Don't let go of his hands, Diane.
Merlin!
Gowther, I finally understand the reason for your psychological instability.
Each time you start regaining your memories, you violently reject them.
This is one of the reasons.
The king told me you gave this to his sister, Nadja, who died young of heart disease.
However, it couldn't bring her back to life.
Please, break me.
Gowther...
Pull yourself together, Gowther!
If you're feeling bad, we're here for you!
All of the Seven Deadly Sins!
Even among painful memories, there are surely some that mean a lot to you!
Remember, Gowther!
I'm Nadja.{04:20}
...I'm not going to hate you, so don't worry.{11:41}
Were you that lonely?{08:31}
They're both the same kind of soul.{15:02}
I'm sorry, Gowther.{15:09}
...you're already achieving his dream.{16:00}
I looked into it a bit.
There never was any soul magic in this.
So where is Gowther's soul now?
It's inside Gowther himself.
It's always been there.
I have a soul?
Of course, Gowther.
Those tears are all the proof you need.
No matter how many times this world repeats, keep the faith
Gowther's magic power suddenly went way up!
That's probably his original power.
Regeneration
It returned to him along with his memories.
I had confined my soul by my own will.
I was forgetting the memories of the people I loved along with the pain.
I called the memories I wanted to forget "fate"
I was unable to even glimpse into the future
Seems like they didn't need our help.
Nope.
Thank goodness.
You managed to find Gowther.
Not even noticing the spread of decay in my heart (seeping into my thoughts and words)
Yes...
Wonderful...
Thank you, Diane.
For showing me the right way.{referencing the promise they made 3,000 years ago}
Without ever averting my eyes from the spiral of eternity
I'm happy we get to meet again, Gowther.
I'll rise up against all the grief
And so, everyone's here!
It's a day of celebration for us, the Seven Deadly Sins.
Seven fragments. I keep them close to my chest, and collect them when they spill
Let's drink, Captain.
Cap'n's buying!
Until my dying breath, I'll decide what I want to protect, and what I want to end
I am?!
Seven wills become one, so that they can shine light on the darkness
Say, Merlin,
what was that heart for?
No matter how many times this world repeats, keep the faith
I'm guessing it's just a keepsake meant to console a son who grieves over being a puppet.
Regeneration
I see.
