00:01.860 --> 00:06.740
<i>I became a third-year,
 and Tia entered high school.</i>

00:06.740 --> 00:10.590
<i>However, she had begun to avoid me.</i>

00:07.500 --> 00:08.560
Tia!

00:10.590 --> 00:13.760
<i>No, "avoid me" may not be quite right.</i>

00:11.930 --> 00:12.920
Tia.

00:14.340 --> 00:16.130
<i>The correct phrase would 
be "run away from me."</i>

00:16.130 --> 00:20.220
<i>Because, you see, she did not possess 
the skills to quietly sidestep me,</i>

00:19.220 --> 00:20.280
Tia.

00:20.220 --> 00:22.800
<i>so she simply physically ran from me.</i>

00:21.030 --> 00:22.120
Tia.

00:25.470 --> 00:30.400
<i>It's possible that Miss Heronia's 
words that day were the cause of it,</i>

00:31.010 --> 00:33.700
<i>but even if I asked, I'm certain 
that Tia wouldn't answer me,</i>

00:33.700 --> 00:36.150
<i>so I've been intentionally 
abstaining from touching upon it.</i>

00:36.780 --> 00:41.810
<i>But now that things have come to this,
there is but one measure for me to take.</i>

00:42.280 --> 00:45.610
If she runs away, I have no 
choice but to catch her, right?

<b>An Observation Log of My
 Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess</b>

<b>Chapter 7</b>

02:16.000 --> 02:19.010
<b>Observation Log of a Self-Proclaimed
 Villainess and Hatred.</b>

02:21.960 --> 02:23.030
Tia!

02:28.840 --> 02:30.860
Whyever are you running from me?

02:31.120 --> 02:34.860
<i>Now then. All that's left 
is to guide her deftly.</i>

02:35.740 --> 02:36.640
Tia.

02:39.150 --> 02:40.200
Tia.

02:41.270 --> 02:42.330
Tia.

02:42.330 --> 02:44.440
Tia. Tia.

02:46.300 --> 02:47.340
Tia.

02:48.040 --> 02:52.530
This is no good at all, Tia. If you run 
to a deserted back garden like this...

02:52.530 --> 02:55.280
This is the legendary wall pin!

02:54.040 --> 02:56.500
<b>Wall Pin</b>

02:55.280 --> 02:56.510
"Wall pin"?

02:56.510 --> 03:00.290
Isn't there an option to 
simply let me get away?

03:00.290 --> 03:04.330
It's in the nature of male animals
 to chase fleeing prey.

03:04.330 --> 03:07.260
I-I am not your prey!

03:07.260 --> 03:09.190
But you do look delicious.

03:09.190 --> 03:12.920
I-I do have a little 
extra meat on my bones...

03:12.920 --> 03:16.160
but I am not delicious, 
so please don't eat me!

03:16.370 --> 03:17.650
<i>Meat?</i>

03:19.640 --> 03:20.920
<i>Your Highness!</i>

03:20.920 --> 03:22.410
<i>No, I wasn't looking.</i>

03:22.410 --> 03:23.910
<i>I did not look at all.</i>

03:23.910 --> 03:28.380
Tia, when carnivores in the 
wild chase after their prey,

03:28.380 --> 03:31.150
sometimes their goal is to play, you know?

03:31.150 --> 03:34.660
P-Please don't treat people as playthings!

03:34.900 --> 03:38.520
<i>Objecting to being treated as a plaything 
feels quite late at this point.</i>

03:38.950 --> 03:44.310
You're as lovely as a doll, so I can't 
help wanting to play with you.

03:44.310 --> 03:48.960
My! Y-You may flatter me, 
but I won't be fooled!

03:49.270 --> 03:54.640
<i>Based on her reaction, I'd say that she
does have some attachment to me at least.</i>

03:55.210 --> 04:00.200
<i>I had thought about asking the cause 
of this herself what it's all about,</i>

04:00.200 --> 04:03.300
<i>but it would certainly turn 
into troublesome business.</i>

04:03.740 --> 04:08.240
I must keep my distance 
from you now, Sir Cecil.

04:08.850 --> 04:12.340
There's roughly a year left until I am 
struck aghast and must say farewell.

04:12.340 --> 04:15.700
The compelling forces have 
already begun their work.

04:16.000 --> 04:17.790
By "compelling forces,"

04:17.790 --> 04:21.080
you mean powers that try to return 
everything to the original scenario?

04:21.390 --> 04:22.280
Yes.

04:22.870 --> 04:25.700
Since it's you, Sir Cecil, I'll tell you.

04:26.470 --> 04:28.110
The truth is that I...

04:29.890 --> 04:31.220
have grown fatter.

04:33.240 --> 04:34.070
Hm?

04:34.510 --> 04:37.020
I said, I've grown fatter!

04:37.020 --> 04:40.740
Ever since the end of the culture fair, 
I've been steadily gaining weight!

04:40.740 --> 04:43.370
And so, I've realized...

04:43.370 --> 04:46.270
this must be the work of 
those compelling forces!

04:46.270 --> 04:50.280
<i>There are so many things I want 
to point out, but first...</i>

04:50.280 --> 04:54.240
Why would your weight gain be 
connected to those compelling forces?

04:54.240 --> 04:57.910
Because the Bertia in the
original work is chubby!

04:57.910 --> 05:01.660
A character trait I thought I'd 
changed is starting to change back!

05:01.660 --> 05:04.630
So, because your outward
appearance is nearing hers,

05:04.630 --> 05:06.580
you think it's compelling forces.

05:06.580 --> 05:11.320
<i>She's very serious about this, so I 
shouldn't laugh about it, should I?</i>

05:11.320 --> 05:12.410
Tia.

05:12.410 --> 05:18.000
I think the cause of your weight gain is 
probably what's in your dress pocket.

05:18.000 --> 05:18.850
What?

05:18.850 --> 05:20.830
You mean this gift?

05:20.730 --> 05:21.770
<b>Bertia has pulled
 out some sweets.</b>

05:20.730 --> 05:21.770
<b>Sweets


Cookie x 5



Cupcake x 3


Marzipan x 5



Calorie Count: 300Kcal</b>

05:21.770 --> 05:23.400
I heard that after the culture fair,

05:23.400 --> 05:26.250
you've started to receive 
a lot of sweets as gifts.

05:26.250 --> 05:29.910
It's true that even people I'm not 
particularly friendly with have...

05:29.910 --> 05:33.100
Could it be that even back then 
the compelling forces were...

05:33.100 --> 05:34.370
<i>It's not that.</i>

05:34.690 --> 05:37.610
At the culture fair, it became common 
knowledge that you are wonderful.

05:38.130 --> 05:39.970
That's why the number of people

05:39.970 --> 05:42.390
who want to be closer to you 
and gave you sweets increased.

05:42.390 --> 05:45.030
No! That's the work of 
the compelling forces!

05:45.030 --> 05:48.810
No, you merely need to reduce the 
volume that you eat, that's all.

05:49.290 --> 05:52.600
But not eating them when others went 
to the trouble of giving them to me...

05:52.600 --> 05:54.590
What if you shared them 
with your attendants?

05:54.990 --> 05:56.970
My snacks?

05:56.970 --> 05:59.990
You're aiming to become a first-rate 
villainess, aren't you?

06:01.480 --> 06:06.200
And if you mean to become the best, 
then you'll need to stay by my side.

06:06.200 --> 06:07.900
But why?

06:07.900 --> 06:12.220
Sir Cecil, you're about to plunge into 
your lovey-dovey period with the heroine.

06:12.220 --> 06:17.130
I have to try to prevent that and race 
down the path to becoming a villainess.

06:17.130 --> 06:18.390
And that's the reason.

06:19.080 --> 06:22.260
In order for you to become 
a magnificent villainess,

06:22.260 --> 06:25.840
you must become desperate 
to keep me all to yourself.

06:25.840 --> 06:30.550
Only then will you at last become someone
who stands squarely in the heroine's way.

06:30.550 --> 06:33.630
But if I become any closer 
to you than this.

06:34.210 --> 06:37.260
in the end, when you treat me 
coldly and I have to leave...

06:37.260 --> 06:39.560
I don't think I'll be able to endure it.

06:39.810 --> 06:44.030
<i>Oh, so that's why she's been 
avoiding interacting with me.</i>

06:44.710 --> 06:49.550
<i>It's possible that letting her go 
here would be the best for her.</i>

06:50.480 --> 06:54.740
In that case, Tia, I won't treat 
you coldly, even at the end.

06:54.740 --> 06:57.740
Is there a way to strike 
me speechless without that?

06:57.740 --> 06:58.660
Of course.

06:58.660 --> 07:01.420
Would you be willing to 
leave all of that to me?

07:03.180 --> 07:04.890
In that case,

07:04.890 --> 07:08.580
I'll work my hardest not to run from 
this feeling for a little while longer.

07:08.580 --> 07:11.670
I <i>am</i> a first-rate villainess after all!

07:12.040 --> 07:13.930
<i>I'm sorry, Tia.</i>

07:13.930 --> 07:17.930
<i>I have no intention of letting go of the
one who brings so much color to my life.</i>

07:18.400 --> 07:21.740
<i>But I will be sure to keep my promise.</i>

07:25.570 --> 07:28.190
<i>A way to strike Tia speechless 
without being cold.</i>

07:28.190 --> 07:32.590
<i>In short, I simply need to strike 
someone else speechless, don't I?</i>

07:33.190 --> 07:35.100
Say, Courtgain.

07:35.100 --> 07:40.920
I hear that lately Heronia has been
a frequent visitor of yours.

07:40.920 --> 07:43.920
Yes, she is already irritating,

07:43.920 --> 07:47.930
but lately, she's been asking 
about Lady Bertia and her family.

07:47.930 --> 07:51.420
Asking if they've committed 
any wrongdoings, perhaps?

07:52.490 --> 07:55.550
Yes. She's asked numerous times.

07:57.440 --> 07:58.790
<i>I thought as much.</i>

07:59.270 --> 08:03.220
<i>The fall of House Noches and the
"struck speechless" event are inseparable.</i>

08:03.850 --> 08:07.790
What's this? Are you discussing 
some fun, wicked plot?

08:07.790 --> 08:11.610
She's caused me some unpleasantness 
as well, so I'll help you.

08:11.990 --> 08:18.610
<i>Now that he mentions it, she did quietly 
mention his womanizing to Miss Anne.</i>

08:18.610 --> 08:20.870
<i>And when he's so earnestly 
devoted to just one woman, too.</i>

08:20.870 --> 08:22.820
If that's the case, then I'm the same.

08:22.820 --> 08:25.620
When she bad-mouthed 
Silica, it made me angry.

08:25.620 --> 08:30.470
I don't like ganging up on someone,
but she's not my favorite either.

08:30.700 --> 08:33.730
She's gotten in the way of my 
dates with Cynthia so many times!

08:33.730 --> 08:37.960
Me, too! And she's always saying 
hurtful things about Miss Joanna.

08:38.280 --> 08:43.990
<i>Well, given her pushy approach,
it's natural that they're all sick of it.</i>

08:43.990 --> 08:46.480
So, what's this sinister plot of yours?

08:46.480 --> 08:48.620
You make me sound awful.

08:48.620 --> 08:52.480
I'm merely thinking of a plan to 
defend my fiancée, that's all.

08:52.480 --> 08:55.010
If we're defending 
against the same person,

08:55.010 --> 08:58.060
then isn't working together
 the most logical thing to do?

08:58.610 --> 09:00.210
Indeed.

09:00.210 --> 09:05.500
All of us attacking a delicate lady 
together violates the laws of gallantry,

09:05.500 --> 09:09.500
but if an enemy gets caught 
in a defensive trap,

09:09.500 --> 09:12.500
then we must exercise our right 
to self-defense, mustn't we?

09:14.120 --> 09:18.570
Courtgain, the next time she calls 
on you, don't affirm or deny.

09:18.570 --> 09:20.660
Would you simply let her 
go on her way for me?

09:20.660 --> 09:23.470
I shouldn't deny her unjust suspicions?

09:23.700 --> 09:27.550
Tia and the marquis haven't committed 
a single underhanded act,

09:27.550 --> 09:29.110
so there shouldn't be a problem, right?

09:29.990 --> 09:32.860
I see. Astounding as 
always, Your Highness.

09:33.100 --> 09:36.040
<i>I was told that the struck speechless 
event would be at the graduation ceremony.</i>

09:36.040 --> 09:39.460
<i>If she's going to make a move, 
that's the most likely time.</i>

09:39.980 --> 09:43.650
<i>Well then. I'm looking forward 
to seeing how this turns out.</i>

09:46.930 --> 09:53.080
<i>Tia's reason she keeps trying to pair me
with the heroine must lie with me somehow.</i>

09:53.480 --> 09:58.290
<i>And the most likely cause of them all is 
the fact that I'm from the royal family.</i>

09:58.780 --> 10:01.850
<i>If the answer exists amidst
the information passed down</i>

10:01.850 --> 10:04.260
<i>orally from king to king...</i>

10:07.770 --> 10:12.030
It is rare for you to ask me 
to make time for you, Cecil.

10:12.280 --> 10:14.910
I apologize for asking 
when you're so busy.

10:14.910 --> 10:17.000
Dispensing with the formalities, Father,

10:17.000 --> 10:20.530
do you have any idea what a 
"maiden of destiny" might be?

10:21.830 --> 10:25.280
What a very romantic idea 
to express an interest in.

10:25.280 --> 10:29.380
It's a phrase that appeared when I was 
researching a topic for personal reasons.

10:29.380 --> 10:31.790
It seems to have something 
to do with the royal family,

10:31.790 --> 10:34.020
so I thought you must 
know about it, Father.

10:40.050 --> 10:44.030
I thought I might try to find out 
why you're asking such a thing,

10:44.030 --> 10:46.310
but your smile is absolutely 
impregnable, isn't it?

10:46.310 --> 10:49.570
The truth is, I've been given 
a rather nonsensical prophecy.

10:49.900 --> 10:54.560
Someone has told me that they are my 
maiden of destiny who holds sway over me.

10:56.370 --> 10:59.530
I'm sorry, but nothing 
specific comes to mind.

10:59.840 --> 11:04.210
There are legends of saints and battle
 maidens involved with the royal family,

11:04.210 --> 11:06.280
but there isn't anything specific to this.

11:06.280 --> 11:07.790
Really?

11:07.790 --> 11:09.830
Yes, really.

11:09.830 --> 11:12.910
<i>I don't believe that my father is lying.</i>

11:13.220 --> 11:17.380
I see. Then they must have 
been simply thoughtless words.

11:17.380 --> 11:19.710
You're giving up quite easily.

11:19.710 --> 11:23.130
Despite the fact that this prophecy
 sparked your interest.

11:23.370 --> 11:25.870
A prophecy that sounds like nonsense.

11:25.870 --> 11:28.390
But she's your maiden 
of destiny, isn't she?

11:28.390 --> 11:32.030
I have Bertia, my fiancée.

11:33.770 --> 11:36.200
Why are you so surprised?

11:36.200 --> 11:38.270
You're the one who decided 
that, aren't you?

11:39.200 --> 11:42.420
Is that so? I suppose it is.

11:43.720 --> 11:45.420
Say, Cecil...

11:45.420 --> 11:46.780
What is it?

11:47.880 --> 11:50.540
Is your life fun right now?

11:50.820 --> 11:52.900
Yes, it is fun.

11:52.900 --> 11:56.540
My fiancée always entertains me, you see?

11:56.540 --> 11:58.490
I'm glad to hear it.

11:58.490 --> 12:02.800
Then that means I wasn't 
mistaken when I picked her.

12:03.360 --> 12:06.850
<i>What is this uncomfortable feeling?</i>

12:07.370 --> 12:11.300
I suppose this is where I should 
say, "Amazing as always, Father."

12:11.300 --> 12:14.310
You're free to praise 
me further, you know?

12:14.710 --> 12:17.300
Well, I'll take my leave now.

12:17.300 --> 12:18.650
Cecil.

12:18.940 --> 12:21.890
You are incredibly brilliant 
and a son that brings me pride.

12:22.380 --> 12:26.290
Still, I'm sure that doesn't mean that 
you are without your own worries.

12:26.600 --> 12:29.320
I may not seem very reliable,

12:29.320 --> 12:32.030
but if you're ever in trouble, 
come and speak with me, any time.

12:35.540 --> 12:36.560
I will.

12:36.560 --> 12:39.220
When such a time comes, I will 
rely on you without hesitation.

12:39.220 --> 12:41.050
Please prepare yourself for that.

12:42.430 --> 12:46.610
<i>Just now, Father's words made 
me feel definite relief.</i>

12:47.420 --> 12:49.100
<i>I hadn't realized.</i>

12:49.100 --> 12:54.770
<i>Inside me, there was a feeling, anxiety, 
that I've never experienced before.</i>

12:55.260 --> 12:58.730
<i>There should be no issues with the 
scenario I've thought of moving forward.</i>

12:58.730 --> 13:00.510
<i>My preparations are perfect.</i>

13:00.940 --> 13:02.610
<i>And yet...</i>

13:02.610 --> 13:04.920
<i>Oh, I am pathetic, aren't I?</i>

13:09.190 --> 13:12.090
Thank you, Father.

13:15.250 --> 13:19.380
<i>There are only three months 
left until my graduation.</i>

13:23.410 --> 13:27.140
Tia, what color would you like your 
dress to be for the graduation party?

13:28.820 --> 13:31.800
My dress for the graduation party...

13:31.800 --> 13:35.830
When someone has a betrothed, generally, 
the betrothed to accompanies them.

13:35.830 --> 13:38.230
I'd like to give the dress 
to you as a present.

13:38.230 --> 13:42.510
B-But wouldn't it be better to gift 
a dress to the heroine instead of me?

13:42.510 --> 13:43.260
Tia.

13:43.770 --> 13:47.280
I am asking my partner: you.

13:49.660 --> 13:51.240
Honestly, you are so...

13:51.570 --> 13:56.000
<i>This is no good. Lately, my 
mood has been highly unstable.</i>

13:56.000 --> 14:00.370
<i>Every single action she takes leaves 
me shaken without my realizing it.</i>

14:01.580 --> 14:04.620
Yes, this is quite the delicious treat.

14:07.880 --> 14:09.570
Shall we go outside?

14:17.450 --> 14:18.810
Now then, Tia.

14:18.810 --> 14:20.900
What color would you 
like your dress to be?

14:20.900 --> 14:22.000
The color...

14:22.460 --> 14:27.900
I'd like the design to match my 
outfit, so I'll decide on that.

14:28.210 --> 14:30.400
A calm sort of yellow...

14:31.660 --> 14:34.780
No! Actually, blue would—No!

14:34.780 --> 14:40.780
I know! That's it! Something more 
befitting a villainess, like red or black.

14:42.330 --> 14:46.000
Why won't your usual yellow do?

14:47.250 --> 14:50.300
Have you already grown tired of yellow?

14:51.560 --> 14:53.110
<i>I'm such an idiot.</i>

14:53.110 --> 14:55.670
<i>Why am I scared of the 
words I myself spoke?</i>

14:56.150 --> 14:58.250
I love yellow.

14:58.970 --> 15:03.770
And a soft blue, like a clear night 
sky... I love that color, too.

15:04.490 --> 15:07.110
But that's exactly why I 
don't want to wear them.

15:07.780 --> 15:10.610
Those colors have so many precious 
memories locked inside them...

15:11.040 --> 15:13.900
I don't want to paint 
over that with sadness.

15:19.300 --> 15:21.160
Say, Tia.

15:21.160 --> 15:24.920
If that's true, then why don't you 
stop this struck speechless incident?

15:24.920 --> 15:27.180
I can't do that.

15:27.180 --> 15:29.420
Sir Cecil, I want you...

15:29.420 --> 15:33.090
and everyone else to be happy, you see?

15:33.090 --> 15:37.340
Then, will you tell me 
why this is necessary?

15:37.640 --> 15:40.940
Together, the two of us may 
be able to find a better way.

15:40.940 --> 15:42.600
I can't do that!

15:42.600 --> 15:47.720
Because... I just love everyone so much.

15:48.170 --> 15:50.480
And that's why the only ones to get hurt

15:50.850 --> 15:54.240
should be me and my father, 
who committed the crimes.

15:54.240 --> 15:58.000
<i>Crimes. He hasn't committed any, though.</i>

15:58.000 --> 16:00.940
Could you bring me what I asked for?

16:00.940 --> 16:01.810
Of course.

16:03.150 --> 16:04.200
What is this?

16:04.560 --> 16:06.660
The diary where I wrote 
down the villainous deeds

16:06.660 --> 16:08.770
I've committed in the last few years.

16:08.770 --> 16:11.490
Please take it as evidence, just in case.

16:13.130 --> 16:20.270
<b>May 4th, 
Clear Skies</b>

16:13.130 --> 16:20.270
<b>Tea Lesson</b>

16:14.290 --> 16:16.360
<i>May the fourth, clear skies.</i>

16:16.360 --> 16:20.260
<i>Today at our tea lesson, 
I bullied Lady Heronia!</i>

16:20.260 --> 16:22.840
<i>I said so many mean things.</i>

16:20.260 --> 16:23.770
<b>Pick up the cup with just one hand.</b>

16:20.260 --> 16:23.770
<b>Are you keeping your arms close to your sides?</b>

16:20.260 --> 16:23.770
<b>You must keep to a relaxed manner.</b>

16:20.260 --> 16:23.770
<b>Don't forget to smile.</b>

16:20.260 --> 16:23.100
<b>No elbows on the table.</b>

16:22.840 --> 16:26.270
<i>Lady Heronia turned bright red and 
got angry and teary-eyed.</i>

16:23.770 --> 16:28.020
<b>Such a scary expression doesn't suit you at all.</b>

16:23.770 --> 16:27.310
<b>Don't you understand?</b>

16:23.770 --> 16:28.020
<b>Your tea will get cold, you know?</b>

16:23.770 --> 16:27.400
<b>Please correct your posture.



You should pick up your cup with your right hand.</b>

16:24.190 --> 16:28.020
<b>It's best not to eat everything all at once.</b>

16:26.270 --> 16:28.150
<i>It felt so refreshing!</i>

16:28.380 --> 16:33.110
<i>I heard about this from Miss Silica, 
who attended the same lesson.</i>

16:33.110 --> 16:37.270
Even the teacher was exasperated with 
Lady Heronia's atrocious manners.

16:37.590 --> 16:40.470
Bertia volunteered when no one else 
wanted to form a pair with her,

16:40.470 --> 16:42.790
and she taught her everything 
politely and thoroughly.

16:42.790 --> 16:46.840
And yet, at the end, she said, 
"I know it's because you hate me."

16:46.840 --> 16:48.800
She started criticizing Lady Bertia.

16:49.520 --> 16:53.300
What's your problem? 
Why are you doing this?

16:49.520 --> 16:53.300
Everyone around looked at Lady 
Heronia with such disdain.

16:53.630 --> 16:57.790
<i>No matter how much I read, most of 
her "villainous deeds" are like this.</i>

16:58.260 --> 17:01.420
<i>Normally, Tia's actions would 
be so entertaining, but...</i>

17:02.540 --> 17:07.620
<i>She gave this to me as a secret weapon 
to successfully turn the tables on her.</i>

17:08.390 --> 17:11.300
<i>This is no good. Calm down.</i>

17:11.870 --> 17:16.140
Tia, do you hate being 
by my side so much?

17:16.140 --> 17:18.380
Sir Cecil?

17:18.380 --> 17:20.920
<i>Do not say any more of what you feel.</i>

17:20.920 --> 17:25.910
You say that my being with the 
heroine will bring me happiness,

17:25.910 --> 17:27.850
but is that really true?

17:27.850 --> 17:28.780
<i>Stop it!</i>

17:28.780 --> 17:31.610
I just can't see how it can be.

17:31.610 --> 17:34.290
<i>Those words will do nothing but hurt her!</i>

17:34.290 --> 17:36.750
That's... But still...

17:36.750 --> 17:41.270
The truth is that you just want 
to get away from me, don't you?

17:44.250 --> 17:47.340
Th-That isn't true at all!

17:47.770 --> 17:50.020
Then why do you try to run from me?

17:50.020 --> 17:55.110
I am not running away! It's just, 
Sir Cecil, you're so dear to me...

17:55.530 --> 17:56.840
Tia...

17:57.230 --> 18:00.060
what do you think my happiness is?

18:01.730 --> 18:03.190
For you and the heroine...

18:04.310 --> 18:06.260
to be together.

18:06.740 --> 18:08.250
<i>I hate you.</i>

18:08.250 --> 18:10.620
<i>For the first time since I 
was born, I find someone...</i>

18:10.620 --> 18:14.790
<i>I find you, to be infinitely detestable.</i>

18:15.880 --> 18:19.710
Why do you still believe 
something so ridiculous?

18:20.230 --> 18:23.550
Because I know the destiny that 
befalls you in the future.

18:23.550 --> 18:26.170
Is that truly my destiny?

18:26.170 --> 18:29.680
It is. It must be.

18:32.190 --> 18:35.190
Then I'll destroy that destiny for you.

18:35.190 --> 18:37.950
No! You absolutely must not do that!

18:37.950 --> 18:40.100
You will surely regret it!

18:40.100 --> 18:44.860
I'm afraid I've rarely 
ever experienced regret.

18:45.170 --> 18:47.830
Why won't you just do as I say?

18:47.830 --> 18:50.200
You'll find happiness if you do!

18:50.200 --> 18:52.860
Then why won't you tell me your reasons?

18:53.310 --> 18:55.700
If you don't, I have no 
means to make a decision.

18:55.700 --> 18:57.180
That's because...

18:57.720 --> 19:00.960
<i>I know. You can't answer.</i>

19:00.960 --> 19:06.480
<i>That's how you always shatter 
my wish for you to rely on me.</i>

19:07.180 --> 19:09.400
<i>How foolish.</i>

19:09.790 --> 19:12.790
<i>In my head, I'm thinking quite logically,</i>

19:12.790 --> 19:15.940
<i>but these variables 
called "emotions" get in the way.</i>

19:16.560 --> 19:19.120
Let's end this discussion here.

19:19.120 --> 19:21.760
I'll choose the dress myself.

19:21.760 --> 19:22.990
Sir Cecil!

19:22.990 --> 19:25.850
You're the one who started this game, Tia.

19:27.020 --> 19:30.070
<i>That day when you and I first met...</i>

19:30.070 --> 19:34.800
<i>Ever since that day, when you 
proclaimed yourself a villainess...</i>

19:36.060 --> 19:38.090
Whatever conclusion this matter comes to,

19:38.090 --> 19:40.090
you'll see it through to
the end, won't you?

19:41.260 --> 19:45.040
I'm begging you, please find happiness.

19:45.040 --> 19:47.520
Yes, I will.

19:48.040 --> 19:49.110
So...

19:49.610 --> 19:51.000
please don't run away.

19:58.690 --> 20:02.820
<b>The Day of the 
Graduation Party</b>

20:02.820 --> 20:05.450
You look incredibly beautiful, Tia.

20:05.720 --> 20:08.490
The dress I sent suits you very well.

20:10.210 --> 20:14.450
<i>With the afternoon's ceremony 
concluded, all of us are now waiting.</i>

20:14.800 --> 20:17.060
<i>According to her attendants,</i>

20:17.060 --> 20:21.090
<i>after much deliberation, she 
decided to wear this dress for me.</i>

20:21.670 --> 20:24.550
Um, Sir Cecil...

20:24.550 --> 20:25.750
Today is...

20:26.470 --> 20:28.460
We're about to enter the hall.

20:28.460 --> 20:33.470
I'll be on the stage, so you may feel a 
little lonely, but please wait for me.

20:35.800 --> 20:39.420
<i>I don't want to hear you say things 
to put distance between us.</i>

20:40.810 --> 20:42.230
<i>It's all right.</i>

20:42.230 --> 20:47.130
<i>Tonight, I'll destroy every 
future that would make you sad.</i>

20:47.770 --> 20:49.070
<i>And that's why...</i>

20:49.070 --> 20:53.490
<i>I ask that you please not rattle my 
emotions any more than you already have.</i>

20:54.320 --> 20:57.070
It's time to enter the hall.

21:05.080 --> 21:06.620
Sir Cecil.

21:06.960 --> 21:08.230
What is it?

21:10.510 --> 21:13.090
Sir Cecil, do I...

21:13.860 --> 21:15.870
Wh-What do I mean to you?

21:16.380 --> 21:17.300
Tia?

21:22.750 --> 21:26.240
Tia, I think you are adorable.

21:26.240 --> 21:27.860
You are so lovely to me that—

21:27.860 --> 21:30.490
Graduates, enter!

21:33.160 --> 21:35.590
We'll continue this later.

21:37.890 --> 21:39.130
Sir Cecil.

21:39.820 --> 21:42.150
Thank you for everything 
you've done for me.

21:47.860 --> 21:50.020

21:50.670 --> 21:51.620
Yes.

<i>I won't let it end here, Tia.</i>

21:57.570 --> 21:59.640
