00:03You did it! Subaru, that was amazing!
00:05Whoever thought all this up was pure evil!
00:07Huh? That's the first thing you say?
00:10Nothing about that exam was fair!
00:12Only people who know the same sky I do would even have a chance at getting it right, so why
00:15ask it?
00:16The more I learn about this master of yours, the more I get the idea he must have been a
00:20real jerkwad!
00:21Oh, come on now, how can you say that and so seriously?
00:24It's not good to say such mean things about yourself, okay?
00:27Putting all that aside, there sure is an awful lot of books.
00:31I'm so curious to see what's inside of them.
00:33From the way Ms. Shaola described it, it's a treasure trove.
00:37One of endless wisdom, but...
00:39Based on her current reaction, this is the first time she's ever seen this archive opened.
00:45We'll have to find what we're looking for ourselves, I suppose.
00:48Subaru, the riddle was only solved by you.
00:51So is it okay for anyone other than you to touch these?
00:54Yeah, but you know, if they made it so only the one who answered could read them, would the rest
01:00of you really have been allowed to enter?
01:02Oh, you're right. For us to have gotten inside, this place must have granted us the access.
01:14Hey, look! The letters are scrambling, I can't read them at all!
01:17This one's doing the same thing over here!
01:20It's a form of cognitive obstruction.
01:22But I can still read the titles, I suppose.
01:25This one's Noah Libertus.
01:27This one says Aegon Voller.
01:29They don't appear to be in any kind of order, either.
01:32Those titles? Do you think it's possible they're all people's names?
01:37Hmm. Yes, it looks like it. How strange.
01:40Glancing them over, I don't quite recognize any of them.
01:44Of course, that may change if I look at all of them, but...
01:48This sucks.
01:49What's the point in a bunch of books if no one can read them?
01:53Huh? Hey, is this...
01:55Subaru?
01:57Subaru?
01:59Subaru?
02:01Subaru?
02:17A woman.
02:19There was a lone woman.
02:22A young woman.
02:24So young, I'd hesitate to call her a woman.
02:26But a woman nonetheless.
02:33Taifon, let's go.
02:39Her entire world was black and white, good and evil, righteous or wicked.
02:47And the one who divided them up was her father.
02:56He was in charge of punishing criminals, delivering consequences befitting of their crimes.
03:03He was the scale that decided what was good or evil in their world.
03:08A form of justice he had hoped to teach her.
03:13But she wasn't able to understand.
03:17There was no simple answer to judging good versus evil.
03:21For crime and punishment were influenced by many different factors.
03:25But then...
03:29No, wait.
03:42I'm so sorry, father.
03:45I dropped it.
03:47And it broke.
03:57You are right to confess your crime to me, as well as apologize the way you did.
04:09At that moment, she finally understood.
04:12A scale that weighed the gravity of a crime could only be found in one place.
04:17And that would be within the heart of the one who committed it.
04:23Hey mister, did you do something bad?
04:25Huh?
04:26Have you committed a sin?
04:38Did you also do something that was bad?
04:41Did you commit a sin?
04:48Oh, he has done something bad!
04:53Father, are you a sinner?
04:56Weren't some of the things you did bad, too?
05:01Taipa!
05:07She understood everything.
05:09And she was content.
05:11For now, she had at last acquired the scale.
05:15The Witch of Pride went on to question people's sins,
05:18deal punishment,
05:19and judge criminals for their wrongdoing.
05:25A-eru!
05:26You-
05:26You alright?
05:28You looked like you were really in a lot of pain.
05:31Did-
05:32Did I manage to avoid letting it take me away?
05:35I'm still actually here, right?
05:39Typhon.
05:40Is that a name you're familiar with, I suppose?
05:43Uh-yeah.
05:44Are you nuts?!
05:46What a rude thing to say. It's no different from any of the other books, I suppose.
05:51However, you experienced something else entirely. That's how I perceived it, at least.
05:56Guess so. But then what about this book is so special?
05:59This Typhon person was someone you'd heard of before?
06:03It's hard to explain it. I mean, if you don't know who she is, then that must mean you didn't
06:09meet her before.
06:10It was at the graveyard.
06:12The graveyard?
06:14She was one of the witches from the past. The Witch of Pride. A tan-skinned girl as young as
06:20Beiko.
06:21And she... she was like the living manifestation of pure and innocent cruelty.
06:28That book had me experience what I think were her old memories? Her life? Or roots?
06:36Whatever it was, I experienced all of it with her. It sure didn't feel good, and that's putting it lightly.
06:41You lived someone's memories through their eyes? The more you say, the more it sounds like the trial in the
06:49graveyard.
06:50Yeah, except that time it wasn't someone else's memories. You had to face your own head on. But that was
06:55a piece of cake, really.
06:56Yeah, easy peasy. Lemon squeezy.
06:59Well, putting you two's tough act aside, you can relive someone else's memories through this book.
07:04You could also look at it as a means of retracing the past, I suppose.
07:08When you consider that, the claim you can find anything you want to know in this library...
07:15Yulius! Yulius! Hey, keep it together! You can hear my voice, can't you?
07:19Huh? Miss Anastasia? Did you...?
07:23Good. Just keep on breathing slowly and deeply. You're gonna be just fine, okay?
07:30Could your poor brain not handle these impossible books? Look at you, trying to be clever.
07:34Hey! Ow!
07:36Don't be such a butt-face! Yulius, are you sure you're going to be alright?
07:41I am. I'm very sorry for making you worry. That said, it wasn't particularly soothing for my heart.
07:48Wait, do you mean the same kind of thing happened to you?
07:51Yes.
07:54Paleroy... Teneclyph? I think... I remember there being a general with that name related to the Wallachia Empire.
08:00He was a former general, to be more precise. A remarkable and virtuous warrior of unparalleled skill.
08:07I faced him one-on-one, and somehow walked away with my life. But it was only by a hair's
08:12breath.
08:13That confirms my suspicions.
08:15Huh?
08:15One must be familiar with the author to read a book in here. Also, they contain glimpses only of lives
08:22past lived, I suppose.
08:24That seems like a fair assessment so far.
08:26Wouldn't that mean all of the books in this library are labeled with the countless names of all those who
08:32have died in this world since the very beginning?
08:35That's going to make this hard.
08:37If you're right, it's going to take forever to find the one book about whoever you wanted to look for
08:41here.
08:44Hmm...
08:45Whoever made a library like this really was the biggest jerk who ever lived.
08:53Man, oh man. This all feels so overwhelming at this point.
08:57Between this and the riddle, has enough happened that you're finally interested in being fully involved?
09:02I'm not sure about that. But basically, you're at an advantage if you know a lot of dead people.
09:08Then you'd be able to read more of these books, at least.
09:10There might be quite a few of them for me to stick my nose in, then.
09:14Books of the Dead.
09:23Oh, I can't believe you, Subaru. You're such a terrible man.
09:27That's a lot more painful coming from you. I'd much rather it come from Ram or Anastasia.
09:34This might be weird timing, but can I ask you some questions about yourself?
09:39Ugh. I think you have a few too many romantic interests, though.
09:43That's not what I meant, so can you listen to me?
09:45I'm messing with you. If there's something you really want to know about me, just go ahead and ask.
09:53I'll take you up on that offer, then.
09:56For starters, how long have you been working as an assassin?
09:59Huh?
10:01Since I first started doing this job, I figure it's been five or six years.
10:06Although in my case, I didn't exactly consider it working.
10:09It was more about my mom, the one who took me in, and following all her orders.
10:14Hang on a sec. Are you saying you were an orphan?
10:16Yep. Thrown out like trash as a kid.
10:19I was abandoned in some forest when I was too young to be aware yet, and the mobbies there raised
10:24me up big and strong.
10:25Uh, there are mobbies that would raise a human baby and not just kill it?
10:30Well, not any normal baby.
10:32But I was born already having the ability to befriend mobbies, so it was different for me.
10:37At least I'm pretty sure that's what saved my life.
10:40Though honestly, I think my divine protection was the reason my family dumped me in the first place.
10:46Kinda hard to know if it was a good or bad thing, you know?
10:52Hey, Mei-Li, I'm just being hypothetical here, but...
10:55What's up?
10:57It's just, if your parents' books were here, would you read them?
11:02My parents, huh?
11:04And by that you don't mean my mom, right? Like my actual parents?
11:08Yeah.
11:09No interest in that at all.
11:12Really?
11:13Don't get the wrong idea about my reasons.
11:16First of all, I don't feel any anger towards them for dumping me or anything like that.
11:21To be honest with you, they're not even worth that much to me, so...
11:27Anyway...
11:28If I'd said that I was interested in reading their death books, then what would you have done?
11:32I would've looked for them, obviously.
11:34I mean, I can't promise I would be able to find them right away or anything,
11:37but if you want to look into it and find their names, I could, I don't know, make time to...
11:41You really are the biggest idiot on the whole planet, aren't you?
11:44What was that for?
11:47So, I had a thought.
11:49Huh?
11:51How do you think that more books get added to the shelves?
11:56Let's say, like, if something were to happen and you drop dead right here and now,
12:00would a book with your name just suddenly appear?
12:02Out of thin air?
12:03Now that piques my interest for sure.
12:06Sorry, but I can't exactly test that out for your entertainment's sake!
12:09Sounds like you two are having fun.
12:11So, did you find something?
12:14Unfortunately, no, we didn't.
12:15How about you guys?
12:17No, I'm really sorry.
12:19We've taken a look around, but the books aren't arranged in any sort of order we figured out.
12:24There's certainly not an order of name or date at the very least.
12:27Put simply, all we were able to find out is that we still don't understand a thing.
12:34Yes, that's it.
12:36At least for the time being, this archive is more than we can deal with.
12:41Even if we try our best to find a name we recognize,
12:44that person might not even have the information we're searching for,
12:47and that makes a difficult situation really difficult.
12:51In that case, we should turn our attention elsewhere.
12:54Perhaps we're better off taking the next exam for entry into the second level.
12:57Yes, I agree.
12:59But we've explored a lot of this area, so where is the stairway leading to the next level?
13:04Good point. I haven't seen one.
13:06Considering the jerk responsible, it seems possible finding the stairs as part of the exam.
13:12A jerk, huh?
13:14Shella! Come here!
13:16Oh, master! Roger! I'm on my way!
13:20What's the dealio? Is there something that you'd like me to do for you, master?
13:24If it may come up right to me with your eyes all sparkling wide like that, it makes me feel
13:27bad, but...
13:28Well, we've been looking for the stairway to the second level. Do you know where we might...
13:32Not a clue! I ain't ever been up higher than the fourth floor before!
13:36In four hundred years? Wow, that's really surprising!
13:39Shaola, can I ask you something?
13:41You've been kept in charge of watching over this place for all this time.
13:45You're the keeper of the Great Pleiades Library, right?
13:49Exactamundo!
13:50All right, then. If I had to make a guess, I'd say...
13:54There's four... No, maybe five?
13:57Hmm?
13:59I'm talking about the number of secret rules you were given to make sure you properly protected this tower.
14:04It's five, ain't it?
14:06What do you mean?
14:08And there's secret ones at that. What's all this about?
14:11It's not what you're thinking, master! I'm not trying to be sneaky or hide anything from you!
14:15I just didn't mention it because you didn't ask before!
14:18I want to get that in writing right away so you can't go after me, okay?
14:21Whatever, just spill it!
14:22Well, this is just a hypothetical example, but if you tried to leave this tower at any time without telling
14:28me first, then...
14:29I'd show no mercy in killing you and your companions!
14:32That escalated quickly!
14:33It's not like I want to kill you or anything, it's just an example!
14:37Besides, I don't have any say in the matter, it's one of those things I just can't get around!
14:42It's seriously exhausting!
14:44If you hate it that much, why not refuse?
14:47Hold on, don't tell me you have some kind of contract!
14:51If that's true, then does that mean you're a spirit like Beacote?
14:54Come on, that's obviously not the case!
14:56Honestly, it's insulting that you go and compare me to flaky little things like fairies!
15:00Why ain't you gotta do me like that?
15:01No, I am absolutely...
15:04Huh?
15:06You're all really freaking me out right now!
15:08Just so you know, about 80% of us here have connections to fairies, by the way.
15:12But if you're not a fairy, then what are you?
15:14If you're not a spirit, what reason could you possibly have to cling so desperately to a contract like that?
15:20What are you saying, Subaru?
15:21Huh?
15:21Even if she isn't a spirit or spirit user, that wouldn't change the fact that she still has to keep
15:26her word.
15:27Okay, I admit that I could have worded that better, but it's just a figure's...
15:31Promises are important.
15:32And go!
15:34Promises are important. Promises are important. Promises are important.
15:36Oh, damn it! I got yelled at by Mealy!
15:39This is all your fault for being so dodgy! Out with it!
15:42Wow! Heck of a false accusation! Well, that's my master for ya!
15:47Alright, I'll talk!
15:49Okay, I will now give you a simple explanation of the orders I was given, so listen up!
15:54First, challengers to the Great Pleiades Library cannot be allowed to leave after they start.
15:59So that means we're all stuck here right off the bat!
16:02However, if you pass all the exams and reach the first floor, it's no problem.
16:06You can come and go as you please!
16:08Yay!
16:09Oh, Gucci!
16:10Huh?
16:11Just so you know, if anyone messes up and violates these terms,
16:14I'll be forced to transform into a heartless killing machine instantly!
16:18And the promise I made to you before will be voided.
16:20I'll have to kill ya.
16:22I guess your rules rank higher than making me a promise.
16:24Man, that hurts.
16:26Wowee! I managed to hurt my master!
16:28I guess I've leveled up, no doubt about it.
16:30I've become stronger! No, I've evolved!
16:32This is my final form!
16:33It's sarcastic!
16:34Yeah! Same here!
16:35Anyway, moving on.
16:37I'm bored now, so I'll make this quick.
16:40Rule 1.
16:41Leaving before completing the exams is forbidden.
16:442.
16:44Violating any of the rules in any of the exams is forbidden.
16:483.
16:49Disrespecting the archive is forbidden.
16:514.
16:53Actions intended to damage the tower are forbidden.
16:565.
16:58Uh...
16:58There is no 5!
17:00So all in all, there are 4 rules then.
17:02But, well...
17:03Still can't help but be suspicious of the one about violating the rules of the exams.
17:07There are likely more rules we don't know about.
17:10Once that fall under rule 2, but are hidden.
17:13Sure, that's all the rules you were given?
17:15Everything else is fair game then, ain't it?
17:17Yeah, I swear.
17:18And there was no lying.
17:21Also, as long as none of these rules are broken, then, well...
17:25My body belongs to me!
17:26It's all mine!
17:28Oops!
17:28No!
17:29I mean belongs to you!
17:30Uh, nah.
17:31Oh, what?
17:32You don't want me?
17:33But my heart belongs to you forever, so take it!
17:36Don't want that either.
17:37Either way, if we aren't able to leave the tower unless we pass all the exams...
17:41It's a lot.
17:42Like the trial at the graveyard.
17:45Hm?
17:47Hardly.
17:48If it comes down to it, we can still leave if we defeat her, right?
17:51Easier than the graveyard.
17:52My master would never do that to me!
17:54No!
17:55For he was kinder and more big-hearted than anyone else in the whole world!
17:59Oh, crap!
18:00This is bad!
18:01Lying made me itchy all over!
18:02Gah!
18:03Okay then, Meili, you're up!
18:05Keep a nice tight hold on Shaola's reins, will ya?
18:08You can count on me!
18:13You know, I've had some time to think a little bit now...
18:17About how the person who built this tower wasn't a very honest person...
18:20When I start looking through that lens...
18:22The way you phrased that was just too adorable.
18:25But you're right.
18:27Go on.
18:27It's about the possible location of the stairway.
18:31I have a hunch.
18:40See?
18:40There they are!
18:41Not that I had any doubts, but whoever made this tower was an absolute scumbag!
18:46I'm impressed you managed to figure it out, Miss Amelia.
18:48It wasn't on the third floor, you know?
18:50So that's why I figured that it had to be hiding in a place we'd already been.
18:54Right, but then...
18:55Was this stairway not actually here when we were down on this floor before?
18:59It's also possible it had been hidden using a form of cognitive obstruction, I suppose.
19:07Great!
19:08I say it's time we take this thing on, show it who's boss, and finish this!
19:12Let's go, vehicle!
19:14Superoo, hold on, wait!
19:16Get down!
19:21Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha!
19:23That's a bomb!
19:24Stop, I suppose!
19:25Come on, I suppose!
19:26Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha!
19:45So, it's another blindingly white room, huh?
19:49I suppose.
19:50This again?
19:52If this is the second floor I was expecting, then...
19:56The next exam should be beginning shortly.
19:58In fact, I'm guessing that will be the trigger, I suppose.
20:05I'm assuming that's supposed to be some kind of sort of selection I need to pull out.
20:14Here goes.
20:31Fool who has attained the heavenly sword, he must now earn his pardon.
20:49Fool who has attained the heavenly sword, you must now earn his pardon.
21:03Emilia?
21:04I understand.
21:06Fool who has attained the heavenly sword, you must now earn his pardon.
21:13Fool who has attained the heavenly sword, you must now earn his pardon.
21:20Huh?
21:23Fool who...
21:24Heavenly sword...
21:26What the...
21:27What's happening?
21:36Master! Master! Master! Master! Help me!
21:39Shut the hell up!
21:41I've got a massive hangover, my head's pounding.
21:44Quit your screeching.
21:49You gotta be kidding me.
21:55You are no ordinary man, that is plain to see.
21:58Huh?
21:59Who the hell are you?
22:00And where am I anyway, huh?
22:02Are you messing with me or what?
22:03I'm not, I can assure you.
22:06You appeared before us suddenly.
22:08Please understand that we can't help but be wary.
22:11The hell's your problem, kid?
22:12Who do you think you are talking to me like you're my follower or something?
22:16Are you my follower? No, didn't think so.
22:18So quit making everything so damn complicated for no reason, asshole!
22:24Hmm?
22:26Hot chick. Hot chick.
22:28Sexy chick.
22:30Brat brat follower wuss.
22:31I must apologize, but I am not one of your followers.
22:34Ha! Every time you open your mouth, you sound more like my follower.
22:38Quit imitating them!
22:40Ah, well. Let's go then.
22:42Hang on! You've been yapping too much. Would you just slow down a little bit?
22:45Oh, shut your trap.
22:47I already explained every damn thing you need to know about this test to you before.
22:50You ought to learn to listen better, kid.
22:53What's that supposed to mean?
22:54Fool who's attained the heavenly sword, you must now earn his pardon.
22:58Ha!
22:59Man, this hot chick's way ahead of the wuss, clearly.
23:02Ooh, now that I look closer, you're really hot.
23:05The hell's with that face?
23:06It's way too radiant to be legal.
23:09Radiant?
23:09All right, so then you're the examiner this time.
23:11Am I right to assume that?
23:13Dunno.
23:13I don't really give a shit what labels other people give me.
23:17But if you're interested in having a conversation, then come try and make me move one measly little step.
23:24I am a proud part of the Lagunica Imperial Knights, Julius Eucleus.
23:30Afraid I ain't got no name to give you, kid.
23:32You can call me a stick swinger.
