[00:05] For
    My name is Valefor.
[00:07] For
    I thought I would never
    write in this diary again,
[00:10] For
    but I find myself back in this castle.
[00:12] For
    I'm doing well.
[00:15] For
    I wasn't able to run away
    from home for very long.
[00:17] For
    It seems there's no escaping an Archdemon.
[00:20] For
    I almost want to tear out
    the last page I wrote,
[00:23] For
    but I'm going to leave it
    as a reminder to myself.
[00:26] For
    When Zagan came to my rescue,
    shameful as it is to admit, I was relieved.
[00:31] For
    He and Nephy protected me.
[00:34] For
    Not only them, but the man who
    I thought killed my father, too.
[00:38] For
    I should also mention that Tail-Head
    helped, as strange as that sounds.
[00:43] For
    I think she did, anyway.
[00:45] For
    I don't yet know what
    I can do to repay them all.
[00:48] For
    But I want to show my
    gratitude, a bit at a time.
[00:51] For
    And to do that, I'll need to become strong.
[00:54] For
    That's what my goal is.
[00:56] For
    And I'm going to continue this
    diary for the time being.
[01:01] For
    I think that I'll write about the
    newest member of the household.
[01:04] For
    His name is Raphael.
[01:06] For
    He wields one of those
    wretched Sacred Swords,
[01:08] For
    and I thought he had killed my father,
[01:10] For
    but he actually respected my father a
    great deal, and lost his arm protecting me.
[01:17] For
    I still don't know how to
    feel about him, to be honest.
[01:22] For
    Raphael's cooking is delicious.
[01:25] For
    He's a good match for Nephy in that regard,
    but he knows a much wider variety of sweets.
[01:31] For
    And he always lets me try
    the things he makes first.
[01:35] For
    I do have one problem with him.
[01:37] For
    Whenever I'm trying to observe Zagan
    and Nephy's couple activities,
[01:41] For
    he tries to get in my way.
[01:44] For
    It's become a source of
    consistent conflict between us.
[01:47] For
    Today, for example...
[01:49] (Flashback) Nephy
    Mr. Raphael taught me this recipe.
[01:52] (Flashback) Nephy
    These are a confection called macarons.
[01:54] (Flashback) For
    I helped!
[01:56] (Flashback) Zagan
    I see.
[01:57] (Flashback) Zagan
    They certainly look cute.
[01:59] (Flashback) Raphael
    The name is apparently taken from
    the type of pasta called "macaroni."
[02:03] (Flashback) Raphael
    They're completely different dishes,
[02:04] (Flashback) Raphael
    but the method for making
    them has something in common.
[02:07] (Flashback) Raphael
    The ancient sorcerer known as the
    King of Feasts, Caesar Cardia,
[02:11] (Flashback) Raphael
    had an apprentice named
    Nancy de Lorraine who conceived of it.
[02:15] (Flashback) Zagan
    You're rather well-informed on
     sorcerous cooking for an Angelic Knight.
[02:18] (Flashback) Raphael
    Begging your pardon, sir.
[02:20] (Flashback) Zagan
    So... how do you eat one?
[02:22] (Flashback) Nephy
    You just take it with your hand and eat it.
[02:25] (Flashback) Zagan
    I see.
[02:26] (Flashback) Nephy
    Oh, Lord Zagan, these sweets are very
    delicate, so be gentle when picking it up.
[02:32] (Flashback) Zagan
    Gently, eh?
[02:39] (Flashback) Zagan
    Nephy! Take up the dessert!
[02:43] (Flashback) Nephy
    When you say that...
[02:47] (Flashback) Zagan
    No, never mind.
[02:49] (Flashback) Nephy
    No! I'll pick it up!
[03:02] For
    That was when he started hiding his
    presence and snuck up behind me.
[03:06] For
    It wasn't the kind of thing
    just anyone could pull off.
[03:08] For
    I was able to dodge quickly enough.
[03:11] For
    That wasn't easy, either, since I was trying
    to make sure Zagan and Nephy didn't notice.
[03:19] For
    I won that time.
[03:21] For
    My reward was a nice, toasty
    sensation inside of my chest.
[03:25] (Flashback) Nephy
    Wh-What do you think, Lord Zagan?
[03:28] (Flashback) Zagan
    It's a big world out there.
[03:30] (Flashback) Zagan
    I had no idea food with this
    kind of texture existed.
[03:32] (Flashback) Zagan
    The outside is crispy,
     but the inside is creamy.
[03:36] (Flashback) Zagan
    And it's incredibly sweet.
[03:37] (Flashback) Zagan
    Would you like one Nephy?
    This time, I'll hold it for you.
[03:44] (Flashback) For
    Why are you getting in the way?
[03:46] (Flashback) Raphael
    I told you before, you're still
    too young for this sort of thing.
[03:49] (Flashback) For
    I don't really see how.
[03:52] (Flashback) For
    It's obvious how those two
    barely even hold hands.
[03:56] (Flashback) For
    Can you imagine how many
    decades it'll be before they kiss?
[04:01] (Flashback) Zagan
    H-Here I come, Nephy.
[04:03] (Flashback) Nephy
    R-Right!
[04:07] For
    If we're noticed, then it's a mutual defeat.
[04:10] For
    Neither Raphael nor
    I want to interrupt them.
[04:14] For
    It's my intention to ultimately come
    out on top in this battle, however.
[04:19] Nephy
    For, it's time to go!
[04:21] Nephy
    Okay! Coming.
[04:24] For
    Additionally, Tail-Head is coming
    over to spend the night today.
[04:28] For
    Nephy is excited about
    cooking a feast for her,
[04:31] For
    so we're going into town to shop.
SIGN    Episode 12:
    Music At Night Is Lovely, But May Be
    Too Much When You're Socially Awkward
[06:17] Townsperson Man A
    Hey, it's the Archdemon.
[06:19] Townsperson Man B
    Yeah. His wife's a beauty,
    and his daughter's adorable, too.
[06:23] Townperson Woman A
    The three of them are always together lately.
     They must be getting along.
[06:28] Zagan
    Nephy has really made herself
    at home in town.
[06:35] Zagan
    Is there anything else we need?
[06:37] Nephy
    No, that should be everything.
[06:39] Nephy
    Oh, but is it all right if we stop
    by Miss Manuela's store for a bit?
[06:44] Zagan
    That's always a recipe for trouble.
[06:52] Manuela
    You made these, Nephy?! That's awesome!
[06:54] Nephy
    I wanted to repay you for
    teaching me so many recipes.
[06:58] Manuela
    Thank you so much!
    You're such an enthusiastic student!
[07:01] Manuela
    Oh, we just got some new stock in.
     Let's have you try them on!
[07:06] Manuela
    There are ones that For can try, too!
[07:08] Nephy
    We actually don't have much
    time today... Maybe next time.
[07:12] Manuela
    Aw, really?
[07:13] Manuela
    Then we had better do this fast.
[07:15] Manuela
    Leave it to me! Come on!
[07:18] Manuela
    Right this way.
[07:20] Manuela
    It won't take long!
[07:20] Zagan
    Hey!
[07:21] Zagan
    This is what I was worried about.
[07:27] Zagan
    Well, you don't see one of these every day.
[07:29] Manuela
    Oh, that thing?
[07:31] For
    What is it?
[07:33] Zagan
    It's called a phonograph.
     You use it to listen to music.
[07:36] Zagan
    There's actually a variety of sorcerers
    who deal with sounds and music.
[07:40] Zagan
    This was created by one such ancient
    sorcerer, named Victor One,
[07:43] Zagan
    the Aural Count, who had a
    fixation on quality of sound.
[07:46] Zagan
    This definitely looks like an antique.
[07:50] Zagan
    Probably held on to by some eccentric.
[07:53] For
    So it plays music?
[07:55] Maneuala
    It's actually broken, so it can't.
[07:59] Zagan
    I can tell.
[08:00] Manuela
    Some of the street kids found
    it and were hoping to sell it.
[08:06] Manuela
    But none of the stores were interested,
[08:10] Manuela
    so they ended up leaving it here.
[08:18] Zagan
    Street urchins, huh...
[08:19] Zagan
    I remember we snatched up anything
    we thought might sell, too.
[08:42] Zagan
    I'm going to buy this phonograph.
[08:48] Manuela
    But this is so much...
[08:50] Manuela
    Enough to buy hundreds of
    outfits for those kids.
[08:53] Zagan
    This is how much it's supposed to cost.
[08:55] Zagan
    The cash is yours to do with as you like.
[08:57] Manuela
    It's broken, though.
[08:59] Zagan
    Come on. It's a simple enough sorcerous tool.
[09:02] Zagan
    I'll be able to fix it easily.
SIGN    An Archdemon's Dilemma:
    How to Love Your Elf Bride
[09:13] Chastille
    I guess we're early.
[09:15] Raphael
    Oh, they'll be back shortly.
[09:17] Raphael
    Just be patient.
[09:23] Chastille
    It's still remarkable that
    Sir Raphael's a butler now.
[09:28] Chastille
    Well... it's been a while
    since we've met, too.
[09:35] Chastille
    Forgive me. I've been a
    bit sleep-deprived lately.
[09:42] For
    We're back!
[09:46] Nephy
    Miss Chastille! It's good to have you.
[09:48] Chastille
    Nephy! Welcome back!
[09:50] For
    It's been a while, Chastille...
[09:52] For
    Tail-Head.
[09:53] Chastille
    Why did you correct yourself?
[09:55] Chastille
    Well, thank you for having me over today.
[09:58] Zagan
    Hey. You seem to be doing well.
[10:01] Chastille
    Yeah.
[10:02] Chastille
    But I've been so busy, I haven't
    had time to go home lately.
[10:05] Chastille
    Cardinal Clavwell's death
    was declared an accident,
[10:09] Chastille
    which has led to me taking on nearly
    all his unfinished clerical work.
[10:14] Zagan
    I see.
[10:19] Zagan
    You realize, Barbatos,
    that you weren't invited?
[10:22] Barbatos
    It wouldn't kill you to feed me, too!
[10:24] For
    Do we have enough food for the minion?
[10:28] Barbatos
    Hey, dragon shrimp!
[10:29] Barbatos
    How many times do I gotta tell
    you I'm nobody's minion?!
[10:33] Zagan
    Watch your mouth.
[10:36] Zagan
    I don't have a lot of incentive to not kill
    you if you start insulting my daughter.
[10:40] Barbatos
    But I've known you longer!
[10:45] Nephy
    Miss Chastille, Lord Barbatos,
    please, make yourselves at home.
[10:49] Nephy
    I'm going to prepare the meal.
[10:51] Chastille
    Oh, I'll help.
[10:53] Nephy
    That's all right. You must be tired.
[10:55] Nephy
    You're our guest today.
[10:57] Chastille
    It's fine. I want to help you.
[10:59] Nephy
    Thank you very much, then.
[11:05] For
    Can you cook, Tail-Head?
[11:07] Chastille
    Yeah, not as well as Nephy,
    but I can handle most dishes.
[11:11] Chastille
    Now, what do you need me to do?
[11:23] Zagan
    The second she shows up, there's a ruckus.
[11:25] Zagan
    Let's see...
[11:27] Zagan
    There we go.
[11:34] Barbatos
    Hey, Zagan...
[11:35] Zagan
    Are you still here?
[11:37] Zagan
    Don't touch anything.
[11:39] Zagan
    There are barriers up that
    could blow your arm off.
[11:41] Barbatos
    I'm not that stupid!
[11:43] Barbatos
    What the hell are you fiddling with there?
[11:45] Zagan
    Never seen one before?
     Granted, I hadn't, either.
[11:49] Zagan
    Fixing these kinds of things
    can be pretty interesting.
[11:51] Zagan
    Ancient sorcery can be simplistic,
    but very informative.
[11:56] Barbatos
    You've got weird hobbies, y'know that?
[11:57] Barbatos
    More importantly, you gotta do something
    about that knucklehead chick!
[12:01] Barbatos
    She's gonna die at this rate!
[12:03] Zagan
    You mean Chastille?
[12:04] Zagan
    Are there are still people in
    the Church trying to kill her?
[12:07] Barbatos
    This goes way beyond that!
[12:09] Barbatos
    It's a whole comedy of errors
    with her, every damn night!
[12:16] (Flashback) Chastille
    There's still so much left.
[12:18] (Flashback) Chastille
    This is gonna take until morning.
[12:23] (Flashback) Chastille
    Okay, time for some tea!
[12:31] (Flashback) Chastille
    I had finally organized it...
[12:35] (Flashback) Barbatos
    Ugh, this klutz! I can't bear to watch!
[12:42] (Flashback) Chastille
    Huh?
[12:55] Barbatos
    I can't get a wink of sleep!
[12:57] Barbatos
    At this rate, either she's
    gonna die or I will!
[13:01] Zagan
    I don't actually mind if you die.
[13:04] Barbatos
    You don't?!
[13:06] Zagan
    Look, I'll treat you to
    all the drinks you want.
[13:09] Barbatos
    You big jerk!
[13:11] Zagan
    Knock it off.
[13:17] Nephy
    Miss Chastille, how did the soup turn out?
[13:19] Chastille
    I think this should do it.
[13:21] Chastille
    Care to try, Nephy?
[13:23] Nephy
    Sure.
[13:28] Chastille
    Is something wrong?
[13:32] For
    Is it that bad?
[13:34] Nephy
    It's worse than the muddy water
    I had to drink when I was young.
[13:38] For
    Didn't she try it herself, though?
[13:42] Nephy
    This is a threat to our home's dinner table!
[13:44] Nephy
    I'll have to do something!
[13:47] Nephy
    L-Let's leave this right here for now!
[13:50] Nephy
    I'll... probably find a way to serve
    it with tomorrow's breakfast.
[13:55] Nephy
    So why don't you rest in your
    guest room, Miss Chastille?
[13:58] Chastille
    Find a way? But...
[14:01] Nephy
    Please don't steal my job. Okay?
[14:08] For
    Is it fixed?
[14:09] Zagan
    Yeah.
[14:20] Chastille
    That's lovely music.
[14:22] Nephy
    It really is.
[14:23] Zagan
    Yes. The interesting part
    of this device is that
[14:26] Zagan
    you can choose different songs
    depending on the occasion.
[14:29] For
    Good atmosphere.
[14:31] Zagan
    Classy in a way that doesn't suit an
     Archdemon's dinner party, I'd say.
[14:34] Raphael
    I believe I once visited a dance hall
    in a port town that had one of these.
[14:40] For
    A dance hall?
[14:41] Raphael
    The ladies and gentlemen danced hand-in-hand
    to the music from the phonograph.
[14:47] Zagan
    Really? You're pretty worldly.
[14:51] Raphael
    But then, the sorcerers present attacked me,
[14:53] Raphael
    which led to me being banned
    from the premises.
[14:58] Raphael
    Now then, everyone, please be seated.
[15:02] Everyone
    Time to eat.
[15:04] Chastille
    Wow, Nephy's cooking is as good as ever.
[15:08] Chastille
    It's so refreshingly fragrant,
    with a complex flavor profile.
[15:14] Barbatos
    What the hell does a knucklehead
     like you know about complex flavors?!
[15:18] Chastille
    I don't see where you get
    off making that criticism.
[15:23] Barbatos
    If you don't like it, maybe grow up enough
    to stop sleeping with a stuffed animal!
[15:28] Chastille
    H-How do you know about Poco?!
[15:31] Barbatos
    Poco?!
[15:33] Zagan
    Are you drunk already?!
[15:35] Rapahel
    Forgive me. He said you
    gave him permission.
SIGN    Empty
[15:39] Zagan
    The whole bottle?!
[15:41] Chastille
    W-Wait, have you been peeping
    on me from the shadows?!
[15:47] Barbatos
    Why would anyone wanna peep
    on you of all people?!
[15:49] Barbatos
    I'm not a babysitter, dammit!
    Why am I stuck watching out for you?!
[15:55] Chastille
    I don't recall you looking out for me!
[15:58] Zagan
    Oh, Chastille, he's just drunk.
    Pay him no mind.
[16:02] Zagan
    The way things are going, I definitely
    can't tell her that he's been guarding her.
[16:05] Nephy
    Oh, Miss Chastille?
[16:07] Nephy
    When you collapsed from the poison,
[16:09] Nephy
    it was Lord Barbatos who brought you here.
[16:12] Zagan
    Nicely done, Nephy! Good save.
[16:15] Chastille
    Wait, really?
[16:17] Chastille
    I-I see. I don't really
    remember what happened.
[16:21] Chastille
    I appreciate what you did. Thank you.
[16:23] Barbatos
    Save the thanks until after
    you've grown into a finer woman!
SIGN    Huh?!
[16:28] Barbatos
    My ideal woman is someone older and
    open-minded who'll spoil me rotten!
[16:34] Zagan
    No one asked!
[16:37] Chastille
    I notice you never actually
    denied peeping on me.
[16:41] Chastille
    And then you revealed Poco's existence...
[16:45] Nephy
    P-Please don't cry!
[16:48] Zagan
    It must've broken down.
[16:50] For
    No fighting during meals!
[16:55] Zagan
    For's right.
[16:57] Zagan
    Barbatos, you're at fault here. Apologize.
[17:00] Barbatos
    Hell no!
[17:04] Barbatos
    Hey, this soup tastes wild!
    The bitterness is real strong.
[17:08] Barbatos
    I think I could get used to it!
[17:10] Nephy
    Soup? I didn't serve any soup.
[17:14] For
    That's the one that Tail-Head made.
[17:16] For
    I put it out for the minion.
[17:18] Nephy
    You did?!
[17:20] Nephy
    A-Are you alright Lord Barbatos?
    Do you feel strange at all?
SIGN    Huh?
[17:29] Nephy
    Lord Barbatos!
[17:30] Chastille
    Nephy! Was the soup I made really that bad?!
[17:35] Nephy
    Uh, well, that's...
[17:37] For
    Quit crying, Tail-Head!
[17:39] Nephy
    Miss Chastille...
[17:41] Chastille
    Why?! Why?!
[17:46] Chastille
    Nephy, seconds...
[17:57] Zagan
    Nephy? You must be tired.
[18:00] Nephy
    A bit.
[18:02] Nephy
    But I had a good time.
[18:04] Nephy
    I've never had a meal with
    such a large group before.
[18:07] Nephy
    And everyone ate so much.
[18:10] Zagan
    The power of good food
    shouldn't be trifled with.
[18:14] Nephy
    Lord Zagan, why did you buy that phonograph?
[18:19] Zagan
    Just a whim, but... I also
    wanted you to enjoy some music.
[18:24] Nephy
    Thank you.
[18:26] Zagan
    Just wait a bit. It's almost fixed.
[18:28] Nephy
    Lord Zagan, when you reminisce about the past,
     you always look so sad.
[18:33] Nephy
    But today seemed different.
[18:36] Zagan
    Did it?
[18:39] Zagan
    I'm not sure, but when
    I lived on the street,
[18:42] Zagan
    I didn't have a home or a
    regular source of food,
[18:44] Zagan
    but I did have friends to share bread with.
[18:46] Zagan
    Maybe back then, I was less
    lonely than I thought.
[18:51] Zagan
    And I'm only now realizing...
[18:53] Zagan
    Ever since I shut myself in this castle,
    I've never gone back.
[18:56] Zagan
    I wonder if anyone I knew is still around.
[18:59] Zagan
    I hope they all managed to survive.
[19:02] Zagan
    Say, Nephy...
[19:03] Nephy
    Yes?
[19:04] Zagan
    Would you mind if I returned
    this to the streets?
[19:08] Nephy
    Not at all.
[19:23] Zagan
    I had no idea that singing
    could sound so beautiful.
[19:28] Zagan
    It's the same shock I felt the
    first time I heard Nephy's voice.
[19:32] Zagan
    Nephy... shall we dance?
[19:35] Zagan
    I only meant to say that
    her singing was nice!
[19:38] Nephy
    Yes.
[19:39] Zagan
    Y-Yes?!
[19:41] Zagan
    O-Okay.
[19:50] Zagan
    How does... one dance?
[20:00] Raphael
    My lord, I can instruct you
    on the necessary steps.
[20:06] Narrator
    In the deep, deep forest
    known as the Lost Woods,
[20:11] Narrator
    a man who was once alone, was not any longer.
[20:17] Raphael
    My lord, you need to actually
    move for it to be practice.
[20:24] For
    They're such a handful.
[20:29] Narrator
    The next day...
[20:30] Narrator
    The citizens of Kianoides
    experienced a shock.
[20:35] Narrator
    Music was playing from a back alley,
[20:38] Narrator
    with children happily dancing to it.
[20:42] Narrator
    It was like a spontaneous
    festival that lasted all day.
[20:57] Narrator
    But now, let's roll time
    back to this evening.
[21:02] Narrator
    The night that the two of them danced
    together for the first time.
[21:06] Narrator
    His name is Zagan.
[21:09] Narrator
    Her name is Nephy.
[21:11] Narrator
    And their very, very long
    story has only just begun.
[21:25] Zagan
    I wouldn't mind staying like this.
[21:28] Nephy
    That's no fair, Lord Zagan.
