[00:01] High Priestess
    Sir Takumi, Master Alan, Miss Elena.
[00:05] High Priestess
    I welcome you.
[00:10] Takumi
    She looks like Otohime from the folk tale...
[00:12] Alan/Elena
    Pretty!
SIGN    A Journey Through Another World:
    Raising Kids While Adventuring
SIGN    Mermaids! Dragons!
[01:47] Takumi
    Thank you for... the warm welcome?
[01:51] High Priestess
    There's no need to be so formal.
[01:54] High Priestess
    In fact, it is I who should
    be showing you great respect.
[01:58] Takumi
    Huh?
[01:59] High Priestess
    The retainer of the water god
    referred to you as their savior.
[02:04] Millena
    High Priestess, Sir Takumi has resolved
    the problem of the ship, as well.
[02:10] Millena
    Someone is checking on the coral as we speak.
[02:14] High Priestess
    Oh, that is truly a relief!
[02:17] High Priestess
    In that case, Sir Takumi
    is our savior, as well!
[02:21] Millena
    Indeed!
[02:24] Takumi
    What did this retainer tell them, anyway?
[02:28] Takumi
    I hope they didn't reveal
    who we really are...
[02:31] Alan/Elena
    Indeed!
[02:33] Takumi
    Um, I don't know what this
    retainer said to you,
[02:37] Takumi
    but may I ask who all knows of this?
[02:39] High Priestess
    You need not worry.
[02:41] High Priestess
    The only ones who even know
    that the retainer spoke to us
[02:45] High Priestess
    are myself and these two here.
[02:49] High Priestess
    And of course, none of
    us will tell anyone else.
[02:51] Takumi
    I see. Thank you for that.
[02:55] High Priestess
    We have been told a great deal
    about the sort of person you are!
[02:59] High Priestess
    Such as how very kind you are!
[03:02] Takumi
    Please, spare me...
[03:05] High Priestess
    It seems what the retainer
    said was right on the money!
[03:09] Galdo
    High Priestess, you are making
    Sir Takumi uncomfortable.
[03:13] High Priestess
    Oh, but Galdo, I am only speaking the truth.
[03:17] High Priestess
    I have said nothing to make
    Sir Takumi feel uncomfortable.
[03:22] Galdo
    In that case, if someone you were
    meeting for the first time said to you,
[03:25] Galdo
    "I know all about you. I've been
    told that you are quite the tomboy,"
[03:31] Galdo
    it would not make you feel
    the least bit uncomfortable?
[03:36] High Priestess
    I beg your forgiveness, Sir Takumi.
[03:39] Takumi
    Er, it's okay...
[03:41] Takumi
    The High Priestess is actually a tomboy?
[03:44] High Priestess
    I haven't introduced him yet, have I?
[03:46] High Priestess
    This is Galdo, the leader of
    the mermaids who live here.
[03:51] Galdo
    I am Chief Galdo.
[03:53] Galdo
    Please allow me to express my gratitude.
[03:56] Takumi
    There's no need.
[03:57] Takumi
    Um, I'd heard that the High Priestess
    was the head of the Azure Palace.
[04:01] Takumi
    So the one in charge is someone else?
[04:03] High Priestess
    Yes. The High Priestess is what
    you might call an honorary role.
[04:07] High Priestess
    The one possessing the highest
    affinity with the gods
[04:11] High Priestess
    is chosen from each generation.
[04:13] High Priestess
    In truth, it has little to do with ability.
[04:17] High Priestess
    It's merely a custom for the High Priestess
    to exist as a symbol of one much more sacred.
[04:22] High Priestess
    Honestly, I didn't want to be
    placed in such a stuffy position.
[04:25] Takumi
    I guess being High Priestess
    is as tough as anything, huh?
[04:29] High Priestess
    Yes, it is!
[04:31] High Priestess
    Oh, right!
[04:33] High Priestess
    I need to give you your reward!
[04:36] Takumi
    Ah, no... I really didn't do
    that much. There's no need.
[04:42] High Priestess
    We cannot have that!
[04:44] High Priestess
    If there is anything you
    desire, just name it!
[04:48] Takumi
    Uh, I don't know...
[04:53] Takumi
    Come to think of it,
    I tried a few water spells,
[04:56] Takumi
    but I couldn't use any of them that well.
[04:59] Takumi
    W-Well, then, if you wouldn't mind...
[05:02] Takumi
    Could you teach us how to use water magic?
[05:07] High Priestess
    Water magic?
[05:09] Takumi
    We have water magic skills,
[05:12] Takumi
    but we've been having trouble using them.
[05:15] Takumi
    Also, these two have never
    actually used magic before.
[05:19] Galdo
    I see. In that case, I shall teach them.
[05:23] High Priestess
    But this will be separate from the reward!
[05:26] Takumi
    No, just teaching us would
    be more than enough.
[05:30] Takumi
    Anything more would be too much.
[05:31] High Priestess
    No!
[05:32] High Priestess
    I am asking you to please accept our offer!
[05:35] Takumi
    Well, now what?
[05:37] Millena
    High Priestess...
[05:40] High Priestess
    Oh, of course!
[05:42] High Priestess
    Sir Takumi, how about something
    that is of no use to us?
[05:46] Takumi
    No use to you?
[05:48] High Priestess
    I realize it is rude to
    give such a thing to you,
[05:52] High Priestess
    but I'm certain it will be
    of use to the three of you!
[05:58] Takumi
    All of this?
[05:59] High Priestess
    Yes! Please, have a look!
[06:05] Takumi
    Appraise.

    it an effective ingredient

    fevers and soothe burns."

[06:28] Takumi
    Huh, there's a lot of interesting stuff here.
[06:34] Alan
    Taku!
[06:35] Elena
    What are these?
[06:38] Takumi
    Pearls?! They're huge!
[06:39] Alan
    Pearls!
[06:40] Elena
    They're so shiny!
[06:42] Takumi
    And in so many colors...
[06:44] Takumi
    I've never seen pearls like these.
[06:46] High Priestess
    To be honest...
[06:48] High Priestess
    This place is our garbage dump.
[06:51] Takumi
    What? A garbage dump?!
[06:54] Takumi
    You mean all of this is just trash?!
[06:57] High Priestess
    I-I'm sorry! It was rude to
    offer these to you, wasn't it?!
[07:01] Takumi
    Er, no, I didn't mean it that way...
[07:03] Alan/Elena
    Their trash is pretty!
[07:06] Takumi
    Isn't it?
[07:07] Takumi
    Wait, no!
[07:08] Takumi
    These are pearls!
[07:10] High Priestess
    They're rocks that we occasionally
    find in the shellfish we eat.
[07:14] Elena
    I found another one!
[07:14] Takumi
    They're a type of precious jewel...
[07:15] Alan
    Oh, yeah!
[07:16] High Priestess
    Are they?
[07:17] High Priestess
    I do love jewels,
[07:19] High Priestess
    but jewels are much more
    transparent and lustrous.
[07:23] Alan
    Transparent?
[07:24] Elena
    Lustrous?
[07:26] High Priestess
    They have no value to us,
[07:28] High Priestess
    but I just remembered the retainer telling us
[07:31] High Priestess
    that humans find them attractive.
[07:36] Takumi
    You guys like them, huh?
[07:38] Takumi
    In the end, I accepted the
    items in the cave as my reward,
[07:42] Takumi
    and we were allowed to spend
    the night in the Azure Palace.
[07:51] Millena
    Sir Takumi, please eat as much as you'd like.
[07:54] Takumi
    I will. Thank you.
[08:06] Takumi
    Is it just me, or are they treating
    me like Urashima Taro?
[08:09] Takumi
    I'm not gonna turn into an old man
    when I get back to land, am I?
[08:12] Alan
    Taku!
[08:14] Elena
    This is yummy!
[08:16] Takumi
    Oh, yeah...
[08:17] Takumi
    If I'd be an old man, these two would be...
[08:21] Takumi
    No, no! It's too soon!
[08:26] Alan/Elena
    Aren't you going to eat?
[08:27] Takumi
    I will.
[08:35] Alan/Elena
    How cool!
[08:38] Takumi
    It really is.
[08:39] Alan
    Fish!
[08:41] Elena
    Should we fight them?
[08:42] Takumi
    Let's just watch them, okay?
    Think of it as an aquarium.
[08:46] Alan/Elena
    Huh?
[08:47] Takumi
    Oh, yeah, you wouldn't know...
[08:49] Takumi
    Look there. That's a ray.
[08:52] Elena
    What are those?
[08:53] Takumi
    Jellyfish.
[08:54] Elena
    They're cute!
[08:56] Alan
    What's that?
[08:57] Takumi
    That's, uh...
[08:59] Takumi
    I don't know that one.
[09:04] Galdo
    You can use magic to your
    hearts' content here.
[09:08] Takumi
    Thank you for the lesson.
[09:10] Alan/Elena
    Lesson!
[09:11] Takumi
    Don't forget "thank you."
[09:13] Alan/Elena
    Thank you!
[09:14] Galdo
    Yes, of course.
[09:16] Galdo
    First, I will teach you how to use your
    magic power when performing spells.
[09:22] Takumi
    How to use it?
[09:23] Galdo
    Yes. Broadly speaking,
    there are two ways to do so:
[09:28] Galdo
    manipulating and creating.
[09:31] Galdo
    When using magic on land,
[09:33] Galdo
    using magic involves manipulating
    the nearby air and earth.
[09:38] Takumi
    Right.
[09:39] Galdo
    But when you wish to use water or fire magic,
[09:43] Galdo
    you must first create it yourself.
[09:47] Galdo
    When using water magic in an
    area where there is no water,
[09:50] Galdo
    this is a prerequisite.
[09:53] Takumi
    That makes sense...
[09:54] Alan/Elena
    Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
[09:56] Galdo
    Which means, while you stand here,
[09:59] Galdo
    you should be able to use water
    magic as readily as wind magic.
[10:03] Galdo
    Give it a try.
[10:05] Takumi
    Okay.
[10:11] Takumi
    Water Pillar!
[10:16] Galdo
    Very good.
[10:17] Galdo
    Now, Master Alan and Miss Elena.
[10:21] Galdo
    You have never used magic before, correct?
[10:24] Galdo
    So I will start by teaching you
    about the flow of magic power.
[10:27] Takumi
    Please do.
[10:29] Galdo
    Your hands, please.
[10:38] Galdo
    Did you feel that?
[10:40] Alan/Elena
    It's warm...
[10:41] Galdo
    Yes. That is magic power.
[10:44] Alan/Elena
    Magic power?
[10:45] Galdo
    It is the source of all magic.
[10:48] Galdo
    It flows within each of you, as well.
[10:50] Galdo
    Can you feel it?
[10:56] Takumi
    Try looking inside your body for
    that warm feeling you just felt.
[11:01] Alan/Elena
    Okay.
[11:08] Takumi
    I've been using magic as if it
    was just ingrained in my body,
[11:12] Takumi
    so I never even thought about magic power...
[11:15] Takumi
    So this is it, huh?
[11:17] Takumi
    Yeah. I can feel it.
[11:20] Alan/Elena
    I found the warm feeling!
[11:23] Galdo
    It appears you can indeed feel it.
[11:26] Galdo
    Now, scoop up some water and gather
    a bit of magic power in your hand.
[11:30] Galdo
    Like so.
[11:36] Galdo
    Do this to practice controlling the
    amount of magic power you put out.
[11:45] Alan/Elena
    We did it!
[11:48] Takumi
    Alan, Elena, it's amazing that
    you did it on the first try!
[11:51] High Priestess
    Remarkable!
[11:53] High Priestess
    This is not an easy thing to get the hang of!
[11:56] Takumi
    It's not?
[11:58] Galdo
    Even the most talented
    children in our village
[12:01] Galdo
    take about half a day before they
    can produce a perfect sphere.
[12:05] Takumi
    Huh...
[12:06] Takumi
    Man, my kids are amazing!
[12:08] Galdo
    Next, we'll try using Water Ball.
[12:12] Galdo
    Perhaps you should show them
    how it's done, Sir Takumi.
[12:15] Takumi
    Huh?
[12:16] Galdo
    Could you fire a shot at that rock for us?
[12:20] Takuim
    A-All right.
[12:26] Takumi
    Water Ball!
[12:34] Takumi
    I did it!
[12:37] Alan
    I wanna do it, too!
[12:38] Elena
    Me, too!
[12:40] Galdo
    Then let us give it a try.
[12:43] Alan/Elena
    Water Ball!
[12:50] Alan/Elena
    We did it!
[12:51] Takumi
    You're both great at this!
[12:54] Galdo
    They picked it up so easily...
[12:56] High Priestess
    This is beyond anything I had imagined.
[12:58] Takumi
    After that, even after the others
    returned to the Azure Palace,
[12:59] Takumi
    Water Ball!
[13:01] Alan/Elena
    Water Ball!
[13:02] Takumi
    we stayed behind a bit longer to practice.
[13:03] Alan/Elena
    Water Arrow!
[13:05] Takumi
    That's it! You're both doing great!
[13:08] Takumi
    Learning Water Wall might come in handy, too.
[13:13] Takumi
    What is it? What's wrong?
[13:15] Alan
    Taku...
[13:17] Elena
    Look...
[13:21] Takumi
    Is something there? Detect.
[13:30] Takumi
    The sea just... Wh-What is that?!
[13:34] Syl
    Well? What is the meaning of this?
[13:36] Maya
    Well... um...
[13:39] Syl
    Head retainer of the water
    god Wyndell... er...
[13:43] Maya
    I'm Maya.
[13:44] Syl
    Maya. So?
[13:46] Maya
    Well... when I checked the surface to see
    how Master Alan and Miss Elena were doing,
[13:52] Maya
    I learned of the problem
    in the mermaid village.
[13:56] Syl
    Oh, yeah, that.
[13:58] Syl
    It must've been a shock when
    that big ship sank there.
[14:01] Syl
    Yeah, that had to be rough.
[14:04] Syl
    And?
[14:06] Maya
    I thought the problem could be
    solved with Sir Takumi's help...
[14:10] Syl
    So you gave them an oracle?
[14:12] Maya
    Yes...
[14:15] Syl
    Well, oracles are one of
    the few ways that we gods
[14:20] Syl
    and our retainers can intervene
    in the humans' world,
[14:24] Syl
    but why did you drag Takumi into it?
[14:27] Syl
    We've done nothing but incur debt
    with him, and continue to now!
[14:32] Syl
    Yet you sought his help again?!
[14:34] Syl
    You know he'd never refuse a
    request once he'd been told
[14:37] Syl
    it was from the water god's retainer!
[14:39] Syl
    Even if it's a problem he can easily solve,
[14:42] Syl
    we shouldn't just turn to him for everything!
[14:45] Syl
    I'll let it go this time because
    he gained more from it than we did,
[14:49] Syl
    but next time, go through me first!
[14:52] Maya
    U-Understood! I'm so sorry!
[15:00] Vint
    It's unusual to see you so angry.
[15:06] Syl
    It's all Wyndell's fault for just wandering
    around and neglecting everything!
[15:12] Syl
    I know those girls have had it rough, but...
[15:15] Vint
    I thought the reason you scolded her
[15:18] Vint
    was because you're backing Takumi.
[15:22] Syl
    I am backing him, yes.
[15:25] Syl
    I'm the one who brought him
    to this world, after all.
[15:28] Syl
    How could I have done something so stupid?!
[15:32] Syl
    No good?
[15:33] Vint
    No. Takumi possesses something
    crucial beyond compare, after all.
[15:41] Vint
    No one would complain about you backing him.
[15:45] Syl
    I thought so!
[15:47] Vint
    Incidentally, Lord Sylphyryll...
[15:49] Syl
    What?
[15:50] Vint
    Takumi and the children
    seem to be in some sort of pinch...
[15:52] Syl
    Huh?!
[15:55] Takumi
    Th-The sea is...
[15:57] Takumi
    Hold on tight to me, guys!

    A dragon?
[16:19] Takumi
    It's... not gonna attack us?
[16:23] Kaiser
    I sensed something unusual
    and came to investigate,
[16:26] Kaiser
    and I've found a retainer of the wind god.
[16:28] Takumi
    I-It spoke?! With Telepathy?
[16:31] Kaiser
    And these two with you appear
    to be children of the water god.
[16:36] Kaiser
    Hm... The children from that time, eh?
[16:39] Takumi
    Do you know these kids?
[16:42] Takumi
    And... they really are children
    of the water god, then?
[16:45] Kaiser
    Hm? You were not aware?
[16:47] Takumi
    I had a hunch, but...
[16:50] Kaiser
    When they were born,
    I was asked to care for them.
[16:54] Takumi
    What? Why didn't you?
[16:57] Kaiser
    Why?
[16:59] Kaiser
    If I were to move into human
    lands and take in two children,
[17:03] Kaiser
    can you imagine the chaos it would cause?
SIGN    Roarrrrrr
[17:05] Takumi
    Yeah, it'd probably take out half the town...
[17:08] Kaiser
    Still, it's clear fate has
    brought us together here.
[17:11] Kaiser
    Should hardships befall you,
    I will lend you my aid.
[17:14] Takumi
    Oh... Thank you.
[17:16] Kaiser
    Now, give me a name. That will
    be our provisional contract.
[17:20] Takumi
    Give you... a name?
[17:22] Kaiser
    Yes. A contract not to bind us as
    master and servant, but to connect us.
[17:28] Kaiser
    This will give you the ability to summon me,
[17:32] Kaiser
    although whether I consent
    to appear is up to me.
[17:35] Takumi
    I see. A name...
[17:37] Takumi
    How about "Kaiser," then?
[17:40] Kaiser
    Yes, very well.
[17:53] Kaiser
    The contract is complete.
[17:56] Kaiser
    I am Kaiser. Call me by
    this name from now on.
[18:00] Alan/Elena
    Kaiser?
[18:01] Takumi
    Glad to have you on our side, Kaiser.
[18:04] Kaiser
    Indeed. And I shall call you "Takumi."
[18:07] Kaiser
    That aside...
[18:09] Kaiser
    They certainly have taken to you.
[18:11] Kaiser
    It's as if they are your own children.
[18:14] Takumi
    Yeah, I guess so.
[18:16] Takumi
    They seem to think of me as a big brother.
[18:22] Takumi
    Um, is something...
[18:24] Kaiser
    Children, accompany me.
[18:29] Kaiser
    You have grown enough to stay
    at my side without issue.
[18:33] Kaiser
    I will arrange a place for
    you to live in safety.
[18:36] Takumi
    Huh? But...
[18:38] Kaiser
    What? I am clearly better
    suited to protect them.
[18:43] Takumi
    Better suited...
[18:45] Takumi
    That might be true, but...
[18:48] Alan/Elena
    No! We're staying with Taku!
[18:52] Kaiser
    It's not as if you'll never see him again.
SIGN    Squeeze
[18:54] Alan/Elena
    No!
[18:56] Kaiser
    You do not wish to leave his side?
[18:58] Kaiser
    You love your brother that much?
[19:01] Alan/Elena
    Yes!
[19:02] Takumi
    Alan... Elena...
[19:04] Kaiser
    Good. It seems you have built
    an excellent relationship.
[19:08] Takumi
    Huh?
[19:09] Kaiser
    Forgive me for startling you.
[19:13] Kaiser
    Hearing what these two
    said has put me at ease.
[19:18] Takumi
    He never had any intention
    of taking them, did he?
[19:22] Takumi
    He just wanted to find out how they felt.
[19:25] Takumi
    It's okay, you guys.
[19:28] Takumi
    Kaiser, it may be true
    that I'm weaker than you,
[19:32] Takumi
    but I won't let go of their
    hands, no matter what happens.
[19:37] Kaiser
    Hm. I see.
[19:39] Kaiser
    I cannot give you advice on child-rearing,
[19:42] Kaiser
    but I can come to your aid in other ways.
[19:45] Kaiser
    It has not been long since you came
    to this world yourself, has it?
[19:50] Takumi
    Huh?
[19:51] Takumi
    You know that I came
    here from another world?
[19:55] Kaiser
    I have lived a long life.
[19:57] Kaiser
    My wisdom will surely be useful to you.
[20:01] Kaiser
    Should trouble arise,
    contact me using Telepathy.
[20:04] Kaiser
    Even at a distance,
    I will be able to respond.
[20:07] Takumi
    I appreciate it.
[20:08] Kaiser
    Take this.
[20:12] Takumi
    A scale?
[20:13] Alan
    It's pretty!
[20:14] Elena
    And big!
[20:15] Kaiser
    It is imbued with my magic power.
[20:18] Kaiser
    So long as you are wearing it,
    I will always know where you are.
[20:24] Takumi
    Got it.
[20:25] Kaiser
    Now, I will be on my way.
[20:28] Kaiser
    I will give you a ride.
[20:30] Takumi
    What? You will?
[20:32] Kaiser
    Climb on my back.
[20:35] Alan
    Ride you?
[20:35] Elena
    Can we?
[20:37] Takumi
    He says we can. So let's hitch a ride.
[20:43] Kaiser
    Now...
[20:45] Kaiser
    Children, make sure you hold on tight.
[20:56] Alan
    It's sparkly!
[20:58] Elena
    Pretty!
[21:00] Takumi
    It's marine snow...
[21:16] Takumi
    Wow...
[21:19] Kaiser
    I am clearly better suited to protect them.
[21:26] Alan/Elena
    Huh?
[21:35] Alan/Elena
    Bye-bye!
[21:36] Takumi
    We'll see you again.
[21:38] Kaiser
    Indeed. Be well.
[21:45] Alan
    That was amazing!
[21:47] Elena
    And so pretty!
[21:52] Takumi
    Hey, are you sure this is what you guys want?
[21:56] Alan/Elena
    What do you mean?
[21:57] Alan
    I'm hungry!
[21:59] Elena
    We played lots!
[22:03] Takumi
    Right.
[22:04] Alan
    Taku!
[22:05] Elena
    Let's go!
[22:07] Takumi
    Yeah. Let's go!
