1
00:00:29,083 --> 00:00:30,083
Hold on, Alto!

2
00:00:35,291 --> 00:00:38,041
I cannot let you pass.

3
00:00:45,041 --> 00:00:46,958
You will engage with me for the time being.

4
00:00:48,708 --> 00:00:49,916
How very annoying.

5
00:00:55,333 --> 00:00:56,666
Vermeil!

6
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,125
Incredible, truly incredible!

7
00:01:24,625 --> 00:01:28,625
THIS is what all my research was for!

8
00:01:56,625 --> 00:01:59,583
Black or white? Tangled up, they turn gray

9
00:01:59,708 --> 00:02:02,875
Everything always seems so ambiguous

10
00:02:02,958 --> 00:02:08,791
I walk by your side as you smile, helpless

11
00:02:09,208 --> 00:02:12,166
Admiration clear as day

12
00:02:12,333 --> 00:02:15,458
Shining out across the endless distance

13
00:02:15,458 --> 00:02:21,208
Cast a spell on this pitiful situation with an Abracada-Boo

14
00:02:21,208 --> 00:02:27,416
There's a loneliness hidden beneath the darkness in your eyes

15
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:34,208
I wish I could embrace it with a gentle song

16
00:02:35,333 --> 00:02:38,750
Even the whole world starts to shout it's all a lie,

17
00:02:38,750 --> 00:02:41,666
As long as you are as you are

18
00:02:41,666 --> 00:02:47,875
I'll sweep through with a glimmering wind and scream out the truth

19
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,458
Even if the whole world yells out that it's a sin,

20
00:02:51,458 --> 00:02:54,250
Even if I'm all on my own

21
00:02:54,250 --> 00:02:57,333
I want to keep learning to understand you

22
00:02:57,333 --> 00:03:02,833
I'm on your side, I'll protect you

23
00:03:07,666 --> 00:03:11,750
WISH

24
00:03:13,125 --> 00:03:14,500
Vermeil...

25
00:03:15,083 --> 00:03:17,333
Wh-what is that?

26
00:03:20,416 --> 00:03:21,250
Professor!

27
00:03:21,250 --> 00:03:23,750
Professor Obsidian! What's going on?

28
00:03:26,541 --> 00:03:29,125
Oh, excellent timing!

29
00:03:31,333 --> 00:03:33,166
P-Professor...?

30
00:03:33,791 --> 00:03:39,666
Come, look at this. Isn't is absolutely incredible?

31
00:03:40,750 --> 00:03:41,916
Behold!

32
00:03:49,291 --> 00:03:52,875
She's kneeling before me! A demon of her power!

33
00:03:57,291 --> 00:04:00,708
Professor, what is going on?

34
00:04:01,041 --> 00:04:04,958
Hm? What? You still haven't pieced it together?

35
00:04:05,291 --> 00:04:08,500
And here I thought you were a brilliant student.

36
00:04:09,125 --> 00:04:10,541
This was no easy task.

37
00:04:10,875 --> 00:04:13,333
I had to establish a magical means of causing madness,

38
00:04:13,666 --> 00:04:16,541
but condensing it into a liquid form

39
00:04:13,667 --> 00:04:16,541
was back-breaking labor.

40
00:04:16,541 --> 00:04:17,875
It was custom-made, after all.

41
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:29,500
Injecting it causes their powers to run amok.

42
00:04:19,001 --> 00:04:29,500
And it works on true demons, as you can see.

43
00:04:30,208 --> 00:04:34,083
Finding the right guinea pigs to test it was difficult.

44
00:04:34,416 --> 00:04:37,000
I had to use five in total.

45
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:40,583
But they served their purpose well.

46
00:04:41,875 --> 00:04:45,166
Now, my research has led me to this incredible success!

47
00:04:47,750 --> 00:04:50,291
Wh-what does all of that mean?

48
00:04:53,166 --> 00:04:55,083
You still don't understand?

49
00:05:00,375 --> 00:05:06,208
I'm the man behind everything, Alto Goldfield.

50
00:05:07,708 --> 00:05:09,708
Everything...?

51
00:05:12,250 --> 00:05:15,291
That's right. EVERYTHING.

52
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:27,458
Behold, the greatest calamity known to man!

53
00:05:20,501 --> 00:05:27,458
Who wouldn't want it in the palm of their hand?!

54
00:05:48,750 --> 00:05:52,875
Yes! Even YOU are struck with awe and wonder!

55
00:05:53,125 --> 00:05:59,333
But fret not! You will find I am a far more

56
00:05:53,126 --> 00:05:59,333
suitable master for her than you ever were!

57
00:06:14,583 --> 00:06:18,208
VERMEIL, NO!

58
00:06:41,750 --> 00:06:42,875
Alto?

59
00:06:46,833 --> 00:06:51,208
I felt as if I were adrift in deep water.

60
00:06:52,833 --> 00:06:58,000
Dark, cold, nothingness...

61
00:06:59,791 --> 00:07:03,875
Though it was something I so desired...

62
00:07:35,250 --> 00:07:36,416
Yes, that's right...

63
00:07:45,125 --> 00:07:46,416
I...

64
00:07:49,333 --> 00:07:50,458
I...

65
00:07:54,208 --> 00:07:58,583
I...

66
00:08:24,458 --> 00:08:26,250
She's growing even more vicious...

67
00:08:27,958 --> 00:08:28,916
This can't be!

68
00:08:42,291 --> 00:08:44,000
You can't.

69
00:08:50,375 --> 00:08:51,916
Vermeil.

70
00:08:54,041 --> 00:08:55,083
Alto...

71
00:09:07,625 --> 00:09:08,833
Alto...

72
00:09:11,083 --> 00:09:12,458
Why?

73
00:09:14,833 --> 00:09:18,541
Why? I don't know...

74
00:09:19,375 --> 00:09:22,083
I moved without really thinking.

75
00:09:23,833 --> 00:09:25,250
Besides...

76
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:28,791
...I'm...

77
00:09:30,625 --> 00:09:34,000
...your master, Vermeil.

78
00:09:40,833 --> 00:09:45,416
Alto, I... I...

79
00:09:47,375 --> 00:09:50,750
It's all right.

80
00:09:52,791 --> 00:09:59,958
I'm right here. Everything is all right.

81
00:10:09,791 --> 00:10:10,708
Alto?

82
00:10:14,458 --> 00:10:17,541
No... Is he dead?

83
00:10:18,458 --> 00:10:19,375
I've got him.

84
00:10:23,875 --> 00:10:25,083
Alto...

85
00:10:29,083 --> 00:10:30,500
I won't let you die.

86
00:10:32,708 --> 00:10:35,791
You're the one person I'll never let go.

87
00:10:52,833 --> 00:10:55,916
Golden mana...

88
00:11:17,041 --> 00:11:18,375
It can't be!

89
00:11:20,875 --> 00:11:23,208
Even death is no match for them...

90
00:11:24,333 --> 00:11:26,750
Is that what a real demon can do?

91
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:30,291
A real demon... A real demon... A real demon!

92
00:11:30,541 --> 00:11:32,875
A real demon, a real one...

93
00:11:33,250 --> 00:11:36,541
What the hell?! Why did this happen?!

94
00:11:36,708 --> 00:11:41,375
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it all to Hell!

95
00:11:41,791 --> 00:11:43,208
Wh-what's that?

96
00:11:43,333 --> 00:11:44,958
I won't be fooled!

97
00:11:45,125 --> 00:11:49,416
"Real" demons don't mean shit!

98
00:12:10,125 --> 00:12:11,583
Don't take me for a fool!

99
00:12:12,375 --> 00:12:15,958
I'd steeled myself for this long before!

100
00:12:18,541 --> 00:12:23,208
Behold! This is my creation, the demon hybrid!

101
00:12:23,416 --> 00:12:28,083
The ultimate demon,

102
00:12:23,417 --> 00:12:28,083
fed upon hundreds of low-level demons!

103
00:12:28,458 --> 00:12:32,291
And with your rampage ended, I can crush you easily!

104
00:12:33,375 --> 00:12:34,875
This is my research!

105
00:12:35,375 --> 00:12:37,250
Feast your eyes upon me, plebians!

106
00:12:37,250 --> 00:12:39,583
This is my true power!

107
00:12:41,458 --> 00:12:45,291
I'd planned on keeping you as my pet, but no more!

108
00:12:47,458 --> 00:12:53,500
I'll slice you, crush you, and assimilate you into my being!

109
00:13:03,500 --> 00:13:04,208
Huh?

110
00:13:07,666 --> 00:13:10,125
N-no! How?! With one strike?!

111
00:13:18,041 --> 00:13:19,750
Damn it! Damn it all to Hell!

112
00:13:19,750 --> 00:13:21,791
Damn it! Damn everything!

113
00:13:22,625 --> 00:13:25,916
Damn it all!

114
00:13:26,750 --> 00:13:29,000
I'll make my escape into the sky!

115
00:13:33,833 --> 00:13:34,458
What?!

116
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,583
N-no!

117
00:13:46,583 --> 00:13:50,000
D-don't kill me!

118
00:14:31,333 --> 00:14:32,916
I won't kill you.

119
00:14:33,583 --> 00:14:36,333
Not after Alto saved your precious life.

120
00:14:49,833 --> 00:14:51,916
Huh? I...

121
00:14:53,875 --> 00:14:55,916
Alto!

122
00:14:55,916 --> 00:14:57,666
L-Lilia?!

123
00:14:57,666 --> 00:15:00,583
You're alive, you're alive!

124
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,125
I thought you'd never wake up again!

125
00:15:06,125 --> 00:15:08,625
Please, calm down, Lilia...

126
00:15:11,166 --> 00:15:13,791
The wound's healed up...

127
00:15:21,375 --> 00:15:22,791
Vermeil?

128
00:15:31,166 --> 00:15:33,166
One day, we'll meet again.

129
00:15:45,708 --> 00:15:47,500
There you are.

130
00:15:48,083 --> 00:15:49,875
How are your injuries?

131
00:15:49,875 --> 00:15:55,625
Oh! I was shocked, they're mostly fine.

132
00:15:49,876 --> 00:15:55,625
Even the doctor was stunned.

133
00:15:56,333 --> 00:15:57,250
I see.

134
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:00,083
Good, then.

135
00:16:02,750 --> 00:16:06,125
Um... Vermeil, when I-

136
00:16:06,125 --> 00:16:11,541
I pierced your heart with my attack.

137
00:16:12,125 --> 00:16:13,541
You were dead.

138
00:16:13,541 --> 00:16:17,041
S-so you healed me, Vermeil?

139
00:16:22,166 --> 00:16:23,250
Not quite.

140
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,916
Your heart only beats because my mana

141
00:16:28,001 --> 00:16:33,916
has been knit together as one with you.

142
00:16:43,458 --> 00:16:44,583
I'm sorry.

143
00:16:45,833 --> 00:16:46,666
Huh?

144
00:16:47,333 --> 00:16:49,916
Why are you apologizing, Vermeil?

145
00:16:50,166 --> 00:16:53,083
I don't care how you did it, you saved my life!

146
00:16:53,541 --> 00:16:56,875
And my momentary death wasn't your fault!

147
00:16:56,875 --> 00:16:59,958
Look, I'm walking around, right as rain!

148
00:16:59,958 --> 00:17:00,583
You're not.

149
00:17:00,750 --> 00:17:01,416
Huh?

150
00:17:02,458 --> 00:17:05,583
You are, but you aren't.

151
00:17:06,916 --> 00:17:10,791
The heart beating in your chest is my heart.

152
00:17:11,958 --> 00:17:15,750
The heart of a true demon.

153
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,750
This means if I die, you die, too.

154
00:17:26,833 --> 00:17:29,625
H-hold on, does that mean-

155
00:17:30,041 --> 00:17:36,041
Yes. If you die, then I die, too.

156
00:17:38,041 --> 00:17:39,791
Why did you do that?!

157
00:17:39,958 --> 00:17:46,291
I mean, you're a demon, Vermeil!

158
00:17:39,959 --> 00:17:46,291
You should live forever! Centuries, millennia!

159
00:17:50,958 --> 00:17:54,750
And I'll die like every other human...

160
00:17:58,666 --> 00:18:00,083
I'm sorry.

161
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,875
That was all Vermeil had to say.

162
00:18:13,166 --> 00:18:17,666
I heard the student council president

163
00:18:13,167 --> 00:18:17,666
fought against a co-conspirator,

164
00:18:18,041 --> 00:18:19,708
but we haven't any clues about them...

165
00:18:20,541 --> 00:18:24,166
Professor Obsidian was hauled away

166
00:18:20,542 --> 00:18:24,166
by the Ortigia City Guard.

167
00:18:25,250 --> 00:18:32,166
Though many mysteries still hung in the air,

168
00:18:25,251 --> 00:18:32,166
the incident was, for the moment, resolved.

169
00:18:39,458 --> 00:18:40,333
Ow!

170
00:18:41,125 --> 00:18:43,625
Dammit, what the hell's going on...?

171
00:18:56,500 --> 00:19:00,458
The students in comas all woke up and were feeling fine.

172
00:19:06,291 --> 00:19:08,333
Alto, it's time.

173
00:19:08,666 --> 00:19:11,250
Oh, I didn't realize it was this late.

174
00:19:13,666 --> 00:19:17,541
A few things have changed since then.

175
00:19:18,416 --> 00:19:22,708
Now my heart needs Vermeil's mana to function.

176
00:19:25,041 --> 00:19:28,166
How are you feeling? Anything feel off?

177
00:19:28,416 --> 00:19:30,583
Oh, no, I feel fine.

178
00:19:31,458 --> 00:19:36,750
And Vermeil stopped talking to me.

179
00:19:37,291 --> 00:19:38,708
Hey, Vermeil!

180
00:19:39,416 --> 00:19:43,375
Hm? What is it? Is there something

181
00:19:39,417 --> 00:19:43,375
you wish to tell me after all?

182
00:19:43,541 --> 00:19:46,000
Why are you acting so cold?!

183
00:19:47,125 --> 00:19:50,000
"Why?" You know why.

184
00:19:50,458 --> 00:19:53,833
I'm a monster they call a scourge, a living disaster.

185
00:19:54,125 --> 00:19:58,166
I shouldn't be around a being like you.

186
00:19:59,208 --> 00:20:01,166
Are you not afraid of me?

187
00:20:02,083 --> 00:20:08,791
You saw how terrifying my true form is.

188
00:20:02,084 --> 00:20:08,791
I'm an ugly, vile monster.

189
00:20:09,375 --> 00:20:10,958
Th-th-that's not true!

190
00:20:11,625 --> 00:20:15,458
Don't worry, I'll accept responsibility

191
00:20:11,626 --> 00:20:15,458
for turning you into this.

192
00:20:16,041 --> 00:20:21,875
I'll return the mana you give me

193
00:20:16,042 --> 00:20:21,875
into demon mana to feed your heart.

194
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:29,958
It may take decades for the heart to properly take hold,

195
00:20:22,501 --> 00:20:29,958
but once it does, my role in your life will be over.

196
00:20:30,375 --> 00:20:31,083
Huh?

197
00:20:31,916 --> 00:20:34,875
Did you not just hear me? I shouldn't be around you.

198
00:20:35,708 --> 00:20:38,083
I'll go hide away in another book.

199
00:20:40,166 --> 00:20:42,333
That'll be better for you, too.

200
00:20:42,333 --> 00:20:43,583
Vermeil...

201
00:20:45,208 --> 00:20:46,666
...you're making me angry.

202
00:20:48,583 --> 00:20:52,708
You don't get it, do you?

203
00:20:48,584 --> 00:20:52,708
We can't live this "normal" life together anymore!

204
00:21:06,041 --> 00:21:08,000
Wh-what are you doing?!

205
00:21:10,875 --> 00:21:13,916
He didn't take any mana...

206
00:21:18,250 --> 00:21:19,250
Why would I...?

207
00:21:21,083 --> 00:21:23,291
Why would I be scared of you?!

208
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,041
But I...

209
00:21:30,333 --> 00:21:32,500
No "ifs," "ands," or "buts" about it!

210
00:21:32,875 --> 00:21:35,250
You are my familiar, Vermeil!

211
00:21:36,083 --> 00:21:39,833
I need you by my side, now and always!

212
00:21:41,333 --> 00:21:43,250
V-very well.

213
00:21:50,625 --> 00:21:53,375
S-So you get it, then!

214
00:21:58,750 --> 00:22:06,083
A-anyway, I think you should only

215
00:21:58,751 --> 00:22:06,083
k-kiss someone you're in love with!

216
00:22:20,625 --> 00:22:27,583
Does it get easier with time for the immortal?

217
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:38,291
If I was born normal, if I become normal, can I stay close?

218
00:22:38,875 --> 00:22:43,708
With the children, we link our arms

219
00:22:44,916 --> 00:22:48,916
Make a circle and sing a song

220
00:22:49,250 --> 00:22:55,666
Knowing there was no chair for me all along

221
00:22:55,875 --> 00:23:00,958
You locked me into the dark, I'm your preserved flower

222
00:23:00,958 --> 00:23:04,625
The world is too slow to understand

223
00:23:04,625 --> 00:23:08,208
Not all blossoms spark, And spikes may be sharp

224
00:23:08,333 --> 00:23:12,750
They only want to see the beautiful parts

225
00:23:12,750 --> 00:23:16,125
Sitting in a shower of scarlet rain

226
00:23:16,125 --> 00:23:20,458
It all used to be ours, I'm counting the hours

227
00:23:20,458 --> 00:23:23,916
Hours that stood between us like a river

228
00:23:23,916 --> 00:23:25,916
Once I crawled through the water

229
00:23:25,916 --> 00:23:31,458
All I ever knew have become distant past
