Mahoutsukai no Yome (The Ancient Magus' Bride)

What are you so angry about?

Hey!

Hey, mage!

I'm sorry for getting in the way of your experiment,

but humans are a dime a dozen as far as you're concerned.

I thought they were worthless to you.

You can just take a quick look around and snatch one right up. Easy.

Right?

How rude! I was still talking.

Come on, you!

Isabelle...

Where am I?

Isabelle, did they tease you again?

It's that man's voice.

This is the appearance that God gave me.

It's not like I can help that my hair is carrot-colored,

or that my eyes are the color of weeds.

I love you no matter what you look like.

Cheer up.

Let's see....

Ulysse?

Thanks, Ulysse!

Isabelle!

What happened, Isabelle?

A child got hit by a carriage!

This is bad!

I saw them chasing after Isabelle!

I-It's not our fault!

She ran into the street herself!

Wait.

Wait, please!

When is Isabelle waking up?

I haven't heard her voice in a long time.

Isabelle.

Isabelle!

Isabelle!

Ulysse, Isabelle is gone.

She's just sleeping.

We're going home.

No.

No, Father.

I'm waiting here.

She's going to be lonely if she wakes up alone.

Always.

Forever.

It's all right.

I woke up, didn't I?

Chise...

Elias.

Aww... Her materials cost quite a bit, you know.

Corpses aren't free, nor is managing the containers.

Cartaphilus.

Don't you dare call me by that name.

You're just a monster that found a human body.

Elias!

A freak calling another a freak, huh?

What a joke.

I've put a spell on the bullet to stop regeneration.

Chise, you're alive...

Looks like it works.

I'm in a bit...

Well, I'm in a lot of pain.

But I made it.

I'm surprised.

I'm a little surprised, too.

Chise, am I not terrifying in this form?

I'm going to turn back, so let go.

You're right.

I don't think you could get through the door being that tall.

You should probably turn back.

You're right...

Silky would be furious with me if I broke the door.

I'd apologize with you even if she was.

That's reassuring.

This girl has strange taste.

Master!

Alice.

Master...

You idiot!

Don't go darting off like that!

I thought about abandoning you when I saw your letter.

I'm sorry.

Don't overestimate your own strength.

Think about it.

But!

But...

You wouldn't have...

You're my apprentice and my bodyguard.

A bodyguard ought not to leave their master's side.

Yes, sir.

You're awful.

The brain's complicated.

It takes a lot of work to fix.

You...

I just want that dog because he'd make a good subject.

Sorcerers don't step into mage territory.

That was a tacit agreement.

Why do you go after the fairies?

Because it seems fun.

I could make something interesting if I used a fairy for a chimera.

But fairy curses are a pain to deal with.

That's why I put a collar on that sorcerer.

You monster.

I don't need a dog if it can't even run my errands.

Isn't...

that...

Isabelle?

That isn't your Isabelle.

I've seen you before.

You deceived Matthew in Ulthar and killed Mina.

Ulthar?

Oh, the cat experiment.

I think I could get some decent results if I tried it again.

What do you think?

Chise.

You won't have him.

I absolutely won't let you have him!

What an annoying brat.

Chise...

Anything?

Yup.

Truth be told, you can do anything with magic.

You can turn rocks into gold,

make fish swim through the sky, keep harvests from ever rotting.

His words fly through my mind.

But... that's something that must not be done.

I won't let you have him.

You're pretty knowledgeable for a kid.

Tarantula hawks.

They prey on spiders.

But being so small,

they're just going to get eaten.

Chise, stop this!

Your body is...

Mage!

She just ate a little of me.

Chise!

Chise!

Chise, you mustn't do that.

We must not twist the rules of this world!

Horse and Hattock!

A fairy spell, huh?

Not bad.

Why did I want that, again?

To make a chimera.

Why did I want to make a chimera in the first place?

For what purpose?

Oh, whatever.

Now, go find him with your strings.

That wretch won't come looking for us here.

Thank you, Blue Flame.
