Go get yourself some rest, miss. 00:35.350 --> 00:38.250 Please! Let me sing! 00:38.250 --> 00:39.610 Get a clue! 00:39.610 --> 00:40.690 Hey! 00:42.470 --> 00:46.570 We were told Babylon was attacked by someone dressed like a pastor. 00:47.310 --> 00:49.780 We can't trust anyone from the church! 01:19.000 --> 01:22.820 I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince 01:19.000 --> 01:22.820 so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability 2nd Season 02:39.580 --> 02:43.580 Episode 18: Escher's Will 02:55.730 --> 02:57.840 What blasphemy is this?! 03:07.140 --> 03:09.520 I'm... sorry... 03:10.980 --> 03:12.400 Anyone have any ideas? 03:12.760 --> 03:14.650 I'm not sure what you're asking, but... 03:15.260 --> 03:17.730 These are monsters. 03:17.730 --> 03:19.630 There're humans, too. 03:21.700 --> 03:26.310 You can hear what's going on up in the church pretty clearly. 03:28.200 --> 03:31.100 Considering he mentioned always hearing Escher's singing, 03:31.100 --> 03:33.530 and his desire to have more security... 03:33.940 --> 03:38.300 I believe this is that man's hideout. 03:38.780 --> 03:43.180 He doesn't seem to be home, though. Do you think he'll be coming back? 03:43.180 --> 03:47.680 I wouldn't count on it. Not after the scene he made above. 03:47.680 --> 03:50.880 It's natural to assume this place would be discovered. 03:51.560 --> 03:54.470 Sylpha! The way these are sewn together, 03:54.470 --> 03:56.880 they look just like the ghouls we fought in the sewer! 03:56.880 --> 03:58.190 You're right. 03:58.540 --> 04:01.920 Then what happened in the sewer was a part of it... 04:01.920 --> 04:04.450 But what was he doing down here? 04:05.280 --> 04:06.560 Look at that... 04:07.180 --> 04:08.460 Synthesis. 04:08.810 --> 04:12.440 This place has more of an alchemical lab than a sorcerous one. 04:12.440 --> 04:15.680 Taking the cells of living organisms and then cultivating whole limbs, 04:15.680 --> 04:16.970 before attaching them... 04:17.510 --> 04:20.210 It looks like his attempts to infuse wraiths into people 04:20.210 --> 04:22.760 was a part of that research on synthesis. 04:23.400 --> 04:26.980 All this was going on beneath the church? 04:26.980 --> 04:32.220 This makes it questionable if what we were fighting were genuine ghouls. 04:32.920 --> 04:35.620 Creatures cobbled together from various sources... 04:35.620 --> 04:38.170 In other words, chimeras. 04:39.600 --> 04:42.280 This is... horrible! 04:42.280 --> 04:46.360 Toying with lives like this? He can't get away with it! 04:46.670 --> 04:53.250 The real question being, what did he intend on doing with the chimeras he was producing? 04:53.250 --> 04:55.840 Well, whatever it is, it's bound to be nasty. 04:55.840 --> 04:59.520 Yeah. Honestly, it's just so... 04:59.870 --> 05:01.190 Wepugnant! 05:01.380 --> 05:01.880 Oh, ho... 05:01.380 --> 05:01.880 Wepugnant? 05:03.020 --> 05:04.140 Wepugnant? 05:04.360 --> 05:06.890 Oh man, this guy sure is awful! Yep! 05:07.430 --> 05:09.460 His sense of ethics might well be non-existent! 05:09.460 --> 05:12.390 Which makes it likely that he's modified his own body a lot! 05:12.650 --> 05:17.640 I want to see it. I'd wager his own body is the culmination of all his study! 05:17.640 --> 05:20.690 Let's destroy this laboratory. 05:20.690 --> 05:22.020 Damn right. 05:23.240 --> 05:24.520 This place is a nightmare! 05:24.820 --> 05:27.030 You're really gonna wreck it? All of it? 05:27.030 --> 05:31.530 After a thorough search so we can inform Prince Albert of the details, of course. 05:31.890 --> 05:35.790 I'm surprised to learn you know so much about alchemy as well, Prince Lloyd. 05:36.280 --> 05:40.540 Nah!

I could hear it all the time... 10:08.390 --> 10:09.740 This singing. 10:11.210 --> 10:14.060 Coming down from that pitch black ceiling... 10:14.060 --> 10:15.390 The same song. 10:16.590 --> 10:21.620 Even he would stop moving when he heard it. 10:22.870 --> 10:24.000 I remember. 10:24.410 --> 10:27.920 When it felt like the monster was going to take over my mind... 10:28.350 --> 10:30.180 I would hear this. 10:30.850 --> 10:34.170 The voice of the person who kept me from losing myself... 10:39.460 --> 10:41.130 I'm sorry. 10:42.520 --> 10:45.170 Um, I... 10:47.400 --> 10:48.850 I'm... 10:49.920 --> 10:53.770 I'm human!

You probably used to be an adventurer! 11:59.410 --> 12:02.250 That makes sense, since she could use sorcery. 12:02.250 --> 12:04.580 But even if I knew my identity, 12:04.580 --> 12:07.510 with my body like this, living a normal life is out of the question... 12:07.900 --> 12:13.740 Relax! We're from Lordost Island, and it's a place where folks like you can live happy lives. 12:13.740 --> 12:14.920 Come on down! 12:14.920 --> 12:16.770 We'll make a long skirt for you! 12:16.770 --> 12:18.360 Everyone... 12:20.020 --> 12:24.030 Just who exactly is this mysterious pastor, though? 12:24.280 --> 12:27.780 Oh, I found this in the laboratory. 12:27.780 --> 12:30.410 Do you think it'll be any help? 12:30.950 --> 12:33.550 That's certainly an old-looking rosary. 12:33.910 --> 12:38.000 I'm not sure it belongs to the person you've been calling the mysterious pastor, 12:38.000 --> 12:40.170 but I do have faint memories of him. 12:40.170 --> 12:43.280 I think he... hates the gods. 12:44.930 --> 12:49.050 I've got something for you, while we're on the subject. 12:50.780 --> 12:53.560 Those are the notes from the lab... 12:53.560 --> 12:55.490 With the research data! 12:55.490 --> 12:59.060 He snatched them the second he heard the lab was going to be destroyed. 12:59.490 --> 13:03.070 Lloyd, you can't! Having her look through this sort of thing... 13:03.290 --> 13:05.830 She can always burn it, if she wants to. 13:07.110 --> 13:11.820 But this data is the only lead we have in turning you fully human again. 13:12.470 --> 13:15.610 Your body is functioning thanks to a combination 13:15.610 --> 13:19.280 of mana signatures too complex for even me to grasp at a glance. 13:19.280 --> 13:22.360 You're the only one who can learn this data, 13:22.360 --> 13:25.850 compare it to your situation, and figure out how to change your body back. 13:25.850 --> 13:28.000 Dispose of it, and put it behind you, 13:28.000 --> 13:30.720 or push forward, without looking away from your trauma. 13:31.080 --> 13:32.420 It's your choice. 13:38.770 --> 13:42.990 Thank you! I'll do what I can! 13:50.620 --> 13:53.870 All right, and we'll help however we can. 13:53.870 --> 13:56.490 And that being the case, let's give you a name. 13:56.500 --> 14:06.260 Please enter a name. 13:56.500 --> 14:06.260 It can't be changed later. 13:56.500 --> 14:06.260 Name 13:57.120 --> 14:00.670 Make it something auspicious sounding, Prince Lloyd! 14:00.670 --> 14:02.070 P-Please. 14:02.070 --> 14:06.250 A name full of hope that she'll be human again someday! 14:06.940 --> 14:08.250 Then... 14:08.250 --> 14:11.480 How about Lami?

A solid gold rosary. 17:00.770 --> 17:04.340 There are only twelve people allowed to carry those... 17:04.340 --> 17:09.760 Including the Pope, the twelve bishops who oversee the central church. 17:10.010 --> 17:13.240 You're saying one of the twelve bishops is the bad guy?! 17:14.040 --> 17:15.690 That's absurd! 17:15.690 --> 17:19.160 These are great holy people, they would never do such a thing! 17:19.160 --> 17:20.510 Yeah, that's right... 17:19.160 --> 17:20.920 For one thing, none of them resemble him! 17:21.160 --> 17:27.910 No. Based on Babylon's description, he can likely change his form freely. 17:29.290 --> 17:34.400 Th-Then suppose the rosary is a forgery, or was stolen from one of the bishops... 17:34.400 --> 17:38.440 Whatever the case, there's no way that one of them could be the culprit! 17:38.680 --> 17:42.190 Oh, Babylon made Escher sad. 17:42.580 --> 17:46.930 You suck! Go get your soul cleansed with some purification magic. 17:47.250 --> 17:49.400 Then we'll have a nice Babylon! 17:51.230 --> 17:52.360 Squeak!!! 17:51.310 --> 17:52.360 Squeak! 17:52.570 --> 17:54.060 I can sing! 17:54.060 --> 17:57.310 Don't! I don't need purification— 17:58.690 --> 17:59.980 Luxa. 18:01.470 --> 18:06.600 He didn't need a ritual to use divine sorcery. 18:07.130 --> 18:08.450 He had a pass. 18:11.540 --> 18:16.570 Ever since Prince Lloyd arranged it for us, we've been taking it for granted... 18:17.100 --> 18:20.280 Usually, divine sorcery requires a ritual. 18:20.280 --> 18:23.210 Like Escher's singing, or dancing, 18:23.210 --> 18:25.960 which makes it magic that's a bit more complicated to execute. 18:28.920 --> 18:31.480 That makes it certain, then. 18:31.480 --> 18:36.980 Having a pass that makes divine sorcery possible without a ritual... 18:41.440 --> 18:44.240 It could only be the 12 bishops. 18:54.440 --> 18:56.010 I found a chess board! 18:56.010 --> 18:57.360 I wanna play! 18:57.360 --> 18:59.990 Hey, I have one of those— 18:59.990 --> 19:01.640 Shut up before you complicate things. 19:03.050 --> 19:04.480 Is that all true? 19:04.480 --> 19:07.650 Broadly, but not quite. 19:07.650 --> 19:11.960 I only gave access to a pass to the Pope, Guitane. 19:11.960 --> 19:15.460 The other eleven individuals are people he trusts. 19:16.670 --> 19:20.700 Similar to the relationship between Prince Lloyd and the Lordost Island people. 19:20.700 --> 19:22.890 I trust you, Prince Lloyd! 19:22.890 --> 19:25.080 I endorse these guys. 19:25.080 --> 19:26.880 Then I trust them too! 19:28.100 --> 19:30.910 Rare to hear you having anything good to say about a dude... 19:30.910 --> 19:33.670 Then again, I guess Prince Lloyd is one, too. 19:34.150 --> 19:37.040 And Guitane is a fair comparison. 19:39.930 --> 19:44.240 Given the Church's total rejection of Babylon's testimony, 19:44.240 --> 19:49.760 I doubt they'll be willing to cancel the Advent Festival no matter what we tell them. 19:49.760 --> 19:50.650 Oute! 19:50.650 --> 19:52.200 Maybe if we were playing shogi! 19:52.200 --> 19:55.960 And more importantly, if the enemy really has infiltrated the central church, 19:53.490 --> 19:55.030 Good point... 19:55.960 --> 20:00.820 then His Holiness' life would still be in danger regardless of any cancellation. 20:00.820 --> 20:05.330 True. And most pressingly, there's very little time left until the festival. 20:09.260 --> 20:13.430 If the mysterious pastor is among these eleven people... 20:13.430 --> 20:17.310 We'll have to separate the Pope from his bishops on the day in question, 20:17.310 --> 20:22.080 while we watch them closely, under the pretext of providing security. 20:25.220 --> 20:28.960 That should at least allow us to prevent the Pope's assassination 20:28.960 --> 20:31.190 on the day of the Great Advent Festival. 20:31.690 --> 20:34.640 That might be the only option we really have. 20:35.230 --> 20:40.400 I'll do what I can, but given the situation, we can't turn to the Adventurer's Guild. 20:40.820 --> 20:43.230 Those of us here are the only ones we can really trust. 20:43.680 --> 20:45.930 If you notice anything suspicious with the bishops, 20:45.930 --> 20:48.170 use your own judgment to try and secure them. 20:48.170 --> 20:51.220 We need to make sure the Great Advent Festival ends safely, no matter what! 20:57.290 --> 20:58.170 Wait right there. 21:00.170 --> 21:01.880 Bishop Anastasia. 21:02.750 --> 21:05.330 What's that letter you have there? 21:05.330 --> 21:10.230 Well, it's... a message from the second prince, Albert. 21:10.690 --> 21:11.960 Let me see it. 21:11.960 --> 21:16.090 But I was told to give it directly to His Holiness... 21:23.750 --> 21:26.070 B-Bishop Anastasia? 21:48.740 --> 21:52.120 This is a letter sent from the second prince to the pope. 21:53.470 --> 21:57.350 He wants to inspect the church's facilities, 21:57.350 --> 22:00.220 with the Pope and the bishops in separate groups. 22:00.450 --> 22:05.230 I see. Intel gained from the artificial lamia, I presume. 22:05.500 --> 22:10.590 Yes. It's likely that underground facility was destroyed by the second prince. 22:10.980 --> 22:15.490 But from the contents of the message, it seems he didn't learn much— 22:16.960 --> 22:22.080 There was nothing left of Civil War, apart from this arm. 22:22.630 --> 22:27.290 Granted, his actual cause of death was the Luma Maxima I provided him with... 22:27.290 --> 22:30.090 But his left arm had already been severed. 22:30.090 --> 22:35.820 It's likely he was engaged in battle with something even he couldn't react to. 22:35.820 --> 22:38.140 As for what that could be... 22:38.640 --> 22:42.140 I may have overlooked something rather significant. 22:44.840 --> 22:50.520 However, nothing the second prince could concoct at this point 22:50.520 --> 22:53.150 should pose any kind of problem. 22:55.800 --> 23:02.290 If he thinks that shutting down a mere branch laboratory could impede me even the slightest... 23:02.290 --> 23:06.980 No. Even if he knows exactly what I intend to do... 23:06.980 --> 23:08.550 it won't matter. 23:12.810 --> 23:15.290 The time has come. 23:17.050 --> 23:23.060 There is no one who can stop us at this point. 23:26.140 --> 23:27.270 Now... 23:27.750 --> 23:29.350 Let the curtain rise... 23:30.630 --> 23:32.960 on the Great Advent Festival. 23:35.650 --> 23:39.050 The mastermind is among the twelve bishops?! 23:39.050 --> 23:41.570 My vases... I need to polish my vases to calm down! 23:42.050 --> 23:44.420 Next time, Episode 19: 23:44.420 --> 23:46.190 "The Great Advent Festival." 23:44.420 --> 23:50.010 Episode 19 23:44.420 --> 23:50.010 m 0 0 l 436 0 l 456 24 l 436 48 l 20 48 l 0 24 l 20 0 23:44.420 --> 23:50.010 The Great Advent Festival 23:46.190 --> 23:49.810 You will witness the depths of sorcery.
