The Ancient Magus’ Bride Season 2 Episode 17 English Dubbed Episode Title: Gather ye rosebuds while ye may. Episode Description: Alexandra borrows Chise’s limitless Sleigh Beggy magic to help the students all drained of magic. Chise is grabbed by a student, allowing a creature inside his mind to begin draining her magic. Her Cartaphilus fragment protects her, destroying the students arm. Based on the inefficiency of the attack Elias theorises either the missing Grimoire is controlling the unwilling attacker or the attacker is an amateur. The sick students all recover for no reason. Elias believes receiving so much magic from Chise so suddenly broke the Grimoire’s link with its victims. Rian tries to see Philomena to apologise but she avoids him. Alcyone is curious of Elias’ closeness with Chise, compared to Philomena who hasn’t needed her for some time. Elias compares this to a child no longer needing parents as they grow up, causing Alcyone to wonder if she is worthy to be Philomena’s mother. After weeks without an attack students grow restless, resulting in an argument where Kevin accuses Lucy of being the attacker, referencing the Webster tragedy, so she knocks him out. Philomena has not felt well in weeks and grows sicker as her feelings of fear grow worse, especially around Veronica whose motives grow more mysterious and sinister.
