I'm glad you're here.
This time, you won't get away.
Why is she here? It's still light out.
Wait, if she hadn't been with me, would she have arrived this early?
You never quit, do you?
I'm telling you, just give up already!
Sorry, but this is something I cannot give up on.
If you do as I say, I won't hurt you.
I have only one demand. Return my insignia.
It's very important to me.
If she were just another magic user, I wouldn't back down,
but this one's trouble...
What's with you, Old Man Rom?
Admitting defeat before we even fight?!
Young lady, you're an elf, ain't ya?
Not exactly.
I'm only a half-elf.
A half-elf?
And with silver hair... Wait, are you...
It's an accidental resemblance! Really, it's bothersome to me.
You set me up, didn't you?
Huh? No, I didn't do anything...
After you said you'd return it to its owner, I thought you were suspicious!
What do you mean? You two aren't working together?
Her nature never changes, no matter how many times I start over in this world.
Hey! What are you laughing about?!
Come on, isn't that enough? Return her insignia.
And, Sat— you, hurry and get out of here.
Try not to let anyone steal it again.
Why are you suddenly being so nice?
I don't understand at all.
I don't understand you, either!
What's up with you?
Puck! Shield her!
That was a bit closer than I expected.
You saved us!
Nice one, Puck!
Thank goodness it was before five, while you're still on duty.
Thanks!
A spirit... That is a spirit, yes?
How wonderful.
I have never dissected a spirit's stomach before.
Hey, what do you mean by that?
We can hardly negotiate, if the item's original owner is here.
So I have changed my plans.
I shall slaughter everyone here.
You failed to see your job through to the end.
You talk a good game, but you do terrible work.
You really are just another slum dweller.
You bitch...
Cut the crap!
Don't get your kicks from picking on a little kid!
You guts-loving sadist!
Felt is doing her best to live strong...
Just because your plan was thrown off, you think it's over and flip tables?
Are you a little kid?!
You should value life more!
Do you know how much having your belly cut open hurts?
Well, I do!
What are you talking about?
I'm in the process of letting the justice and chivalry I never knew I had
denounce all the world's unfairness!
And what I consider "unfair" is you, this situation, and...
Stay tuned, folks.
There!
All done buying time...
Get her, Puck!
A brilliant display of awkwardness, which I hope survives through the ages.
I'd better live up to your expectations!
We haven't introduced ourselves, have we?
My name's Puck.
Remember my name
after you die!
Did they get 'er?!
Don't trigger that flag, old man!
One should always be prepared.
Don't underestimate a user of the spiritual arts.
For a girl, you're well accustomed to battle.
My, it's been a while since I was regarded as a simple girl.
Well, from my perspective, all opponents are basically babies.
Still, you're so strong, I almost pity you.
I'm deeply touched to be praised by a spirit.
If this turns into a battle of attrition, we should have a chance.
No, fer a spirit, the real battle is how long they can stay corporeal.
That's right, it must be almost five...
Oh, and just when we were having such fun. What a bore.
That's what sucks about being a ladies' man.
The girls just won't let you sleep.
But you know, staying up late is bad for your skin, so we should wrap this up!
I wasn't just randomly throwing those around.
Does this mean I've been had?
Goodnight!
My, how lovely...
I thought I was going to die.
But you're a girl, so I don't find that sort of thing very impressive.
Puck, can you keep going?
Sorry, I'm really sleepy...
I underestimated her a bit...
My mana's gone, so I have to disappear.
I'll take care of things here, so you can rest. Thank you.
If anything happens to you, I'll act according to my contract.
If it comes to it, call me, even if you have to squeeze me out of my odo.
You're going away?
Well, that is very unfortunate.
We can't keep just sitting around, watchin', Felt.
Yeah, I know.
If we're going to run, we should get moving now.
About before, well...
I guess you kinda saved me.
But just a little.
Also, don't call me a little kid!
I'm fifteen, you know!
That can't be much younger than you!
I'll be eighteen this year...
No way! You're totally a kid!
You need to live a life that shows on your face more!
Here I come!
Ah, but isn't it a bit boorish to cut in on a dance?
If you wanna dance, I'll show you the best dancin' you've ever seen!
Here we go... Round an' round!
Eh? What in the—
You're so strong, I was able to do this.
Not gonna happen!
Old Man Rom!
You bad girl...
You have neither the resolve nor strength to fight.
You should have at least stayed in the corner, making yourself small...
Damn, we're done for... There's really nothing I can do.
I guess I'll have to Return by Death and start over.
No, I don't want to feel that pain again.
I don't wanna die...
I guess, as long as I have life,
all I can do is fight with all my might.
Haidara!
Are you okay?
Why did you...
Listen to me, Felt. I'm going to buy us time.
I'll give you an opening somehow. So when I do, run as fast as you can!
What? You're telling me to tuck my tail between my legs and run?!
Yes... Stick out your butt, tuck in your tail, and run.
You're fifteen, and I'm eighteen.
That means you're probably the youngest one here.
So it's a given we'd pick the method most likely to keep you alive.
It's a given!
Give me a break. A minute ago, you were cowering in fear!
That was then. This is now.
I'm not cowering now, so it's fine.
Take this!
Now! Go, Felt!
You think I'll let her go?
Whoa, I'm awesome!
But that hurt the tips of my toes more than I expected.
You let one get away...
For once, I did feel a tiny bit annoyed.
Don't forget about me.
I've grown quite tired of that game by now.
Do you think you can still keep me amused?
If you've got some hidden true power,
now would be a good time to use it.
I do have a trump card.
But if I use it, I'll be the only one left standing.
No exploding yourself, please...
Don't do anything hasty, okay?
I won't use it.
Not when you're still here,
doing your best.
Just now, I didn't see anything...
Huh?
None of that whole conversation ever happened!
I finally remembered why I'm here, to begin with.
I'll kill you, you shitbag!
I won't let you play your trump card!
I'll blow you away and get
a happy ending!
It looks like you have a bit too much energy.
You black widow!
Well, there's no doubt you'll be the first caught in my web.
Nice cover!
Ouch, damn it! How do you like this?!
I caught you.
That's enough.
It looks like that was a close call,
but I'm glad I made it in time.
Now...
You're...
Shall we put an end to this?
Someone!
Anyone! Is anyone here?!
Damn it! Please... Please, someone...
Someone help!
Very well.
I'll help.
Reinhard?
That's right, Subaru.
We meet again. Sorry I'm late.
Black hair, black clothes,
and a blade unique to the northern provinces.
