[00:06] Ryza
    On an ordinary island called Kurken,
[00:10] Ryza
    lies an ordinary village called Rasenboden.
[00:17] Ryza
    Living there is me, an ordinary girl,
[00:23] Ryza
    burning with the desire to
    change these ordinary days.
[00:37] Ryza
    My name is Reisalin Stout.
[00:40] Ryza
    I'm an ordinary farmer's daughter.
[00:43] Ryza
    Day after day, I'm wandering
    around, searching.
[00:49] Ryza
    Searching for a way to break out
    of these boring, ordinary days.
SIGN    #01 - The Alchemist
[02:53] Ryza
    Ack, I did it again.
[02:58] Ryza
    Dad, I'm really not cut out for harvesting
    Kurken Fruit. It's too squishy.
[03:05] Karl
    If you give up so easily and
    never try, you'll never get better.
[03:10] Ryza
    That might be true, but...
[03:12] Karl
    You have nimble fingers.
[03:15] Karl
    I'm sure it'll be second nature
    for you in four or five years.
[03:19] Ryza
    Four or five years...
[03:24] Ryza
    The deep blue summer sky, with
    the dry season looming nearby...
[03:29] Ryza
    hangs over me like it always does.
[03:39] Mio
    Ryza, are you slacking off again?
[03:42] Ryza
    N-No, Mom. I'm just taking a break.
[03:45] Mio
    Why can't you take after your father?
[03:49] Ryza
    Dad loves farming, doesn't he?
[03:53] Mio
    What? Are you slacking off
    because you hate farming?
[03:59] Ryza
    No, that's not it...
[04:01] Mio
    Listen.
[04:02] Mio
    The only reason you can eat
    bread every day on this island—
[04:05] Ryza
    Is because everyone worked
    hard for a hundred years
[04:07] Ryza
    so we could grow wheat
    on this barren island.
[04:09] Ryza
    Yes, I know, you've told me hundreds of times.
[04:12] Mio
    Correct. Now take this water
    to your father.
[04:18] Ryza
    Okay.
[04:23] Ryza
    Dad, don't you ever get bored
    of working on the farm?
[04:27] Karl
    Bored? No, the daily changes are so much fun.
[04:31] Karl
    See, even today.
[04:32] Karl
    Imagine you're the wheat.
[04:36] Karl
    Can you see what the wheat wants
    while being under the hot summer sun?
[04:41] Ryza
    I'm not wheat, I'm human.
[04:43] Mio
    Ryza!
[04:46] Ryza
    Right now, I care more about
    human feelings than wheat feelings!
[04:53] Mio
    Every day, you somehow find
    the energy to escape, don't you?
[04:57] Ryza
    M-Mom, today I'm a bit...
[05:02] Ryza
    I mean...
[05:03] Ryza
    I have important business
    in the Fairystone Forest...
[05:06] Mio
    The Fairystone Forest? Oh, that
    empty lot next to Kurken Port?
[05:11] Ryza
    Yes.
[05:12] Mio
    If it's just your usual pretend-adventure,
[05:16] Mio
    you should use that extra energy
    to run an errand for me.
[05:25] Ryza
    No adventure today, huh?
[05:28] Ryza
    Oh well. I must've seen everything
    there is to see on this island anyway.
[05:32] Child A
    The Demon's Field approaches from the west!
[05:36] Child B
    A dragon dwells in the castle on the east!
[05:40] Ryza
    The Demon's Field approaches from the west!
[05:45] Ryza
    I envy children. They have
    nothing to worry about.
[05:50] Ryza
    Oh.
[05:50] Ryza
    Good morning, Tao.
[05:52] Tao
    Good morning, Ryza.
[05:54] Ryza
    Did you pull an all-nighter again?
[05:58] Tao
    Yeah...
[06:00] Tao
    I found a book yesterday with diagrams
    in it that I might be able to read a little.
[06:05] Ryza
    More old books?
[06:07] Ryza
    No matter how hard you try, isn't it
    meaningless if you can't read the text?
[06:12] Tao
    What else can I do?
[06:14] Tao
    My great-grandfather died before he
    taught my grandfather how to read.
[06:18] Ryza
    But you still haven't given up
    on figuring it out for yourself.
[06:23] Tao
    I will, one day.
[06:26] Lent
    Hey.
[06:27] Ryza
    Oh, good morning, Lent.
[06:28] Tao
    Good morning. Have you finished
    your morning sword training?
[06:33] Lent
    Yeah. I don't have anything to haul around
    today, so I was going for walk.
[06:39] Lent
    What about you guys?
[06:40] Tao
    I'm on my way to Mr. Fressher's to buy
    some scratch paper to take notes on.
[06:44] Ryza
    I'm running errands.
[06:46] Lent
    I'll tag along, then.
[06:49] Tao
    Oh, check this book out, Lent!
[06:53] Lent
    Another one? What's there to take
    notes on if you can't read it?
[06:58] Ryza
    I don't understand how you
    can swing your sword every day.
[07:02] Lent
    Speak for yourself. You probably
    tried to escape farm work...
[07:07] Tao
    And your mom sent you off
    to run an errand instead, right?
[07:10] Ryza
    Ugh, how did you know?
[07:13] Lent
    Because that's how it always is with you.
[07:15] Old Man
    It's outrageous!
[07:18] Old Man
    I hope you island merchants
    aren't supporting Moritz!
[07:23] Fressher
    Oh, of course not!
[07:25] Fressher
    We don't want anybody coming in
    who's a rival for our business!
[07:28] Old Man
    That Moritz, trying to have an outside
    merchant permanently stay on our island...
[07:32] Lent
    That's the old man.
[07:33] Old Man
    Tradition says we don't leave the island,
    and we don't let people come here!
[07:34] Tao
    He seems disgruntled as always.
[07:36] Ryza
    I wonder what they're talking about?
[07:38] Fressher
    We're all aware of the traditions,
    but he does own the water.
[07:43] Old Man
    Just make sure you don't
    play into his delusions
[07:46] Old Man
    about more people coming to the island!
[07:49] Fressher
    Yes sir, please come again.
[07:52] Old Man
    These traditions have been
    upheld for many years.
[07:55] Old Man
    You must respect them. Do you understand?
[07:58] Fressher
    Y-Yes sir.
[08:02] Ryza
    Don't leave the island...
    The age-old tradition.
[08:10] Ryza
    Hello, Mr. Fressher.
[08:11] Fressher
    Hey, welcome.
[08:13] Fressher
    The three of you together again?
    You really do get along.
[08:16] Tao
    It's just a coincidence today.
[08:18] Lent
    We're not kids anymore.
    We don't always hang out together.
[08:22] Ryza
    Anyway, what were you discussing
    with the old man, Mr. Fressher?
[08:26] Fressher
    Oh yeah, the village elders are going around
[08:28] Fressher
    making sure we don't get
    too excited about tomorrow.
[08:33] Tao
    Ah, I see.
[08:34] Ryza
    Huh? What does that mean?
[08:36] Tao
    Don't you know? There's a merchant
    coming tomorrow from outside the island.
[08:40] Tao
    They're opening up shop here.
[08:42] Fressher
    With strong support from Mr. Moritz.
[08:45] Ryza
    Huh.
[08:46] Fressher
    Ryza, you must be here for
    the fertilizer your father ordered.
[08:50] Ryza
    Oh, yeah.
[08:51] Tao
    I'm looking for scratch paper.
[08:53] Fressher
    Got it.
[08:54] Fressher
    So this merchant...
[08:56] Fressher
    He's some big shot who owns a lot of caravans
[08:58] Fressher
    and does everything from buying
    to transportation.
[09:02] Ryza
    I see.
[09:04] Lent
    I'll carry that.
[09:05] Ryza
    Oh, thanks.
[09:07] Tao
    He even has a shop in the
    capital, Ashra-am Baird.
[09:11] Lent
    Wow.
[09:13] Lent
    I mean, we're too far out in the boonies to
    understand how impressive that is, but still.
[09:17] Fressher
    Here's your scratch paper.
[09:18] Tao
    Thank you.
[09:22] Tao
    Ryza?
[09:25] Ryza
    The capital... Outside the island...
[09:28] Ryza
    I wonder what that's like.
[09:29] Tao
    Who knows? We never will in our lifetimes.
[09:41] Ryza
    I don't dislike life on this island.
[09:44] Ryza
    But I want to find something
    different than this.
[09:49] Ryza
    I don't even know where to look.
[09:59] Ryza
    Hurry up, you two!
[10:02] Lent
    Oh, hey!
[10:02] Tao
    Ryza!
[10:03] Ryza
    I want to look for something and find it...
[10:07] Ryza
    something unique to me!
[10:11] Ryza
    I've decided!
[10:12] Tao & Lent
    Huh?
[10:13] Ryza
    Let's go on an adventure!
[10:14] Lent
    What's this, all of a sudden?
[10:16] Tao
    We just followed you to the coast
    by the old city last week.
[10:20] Ryza
    No more going around the island like that.
[10:23] Ryza
    A real adventure! Going outside the island!
[10:26] Lent & Tao
    What?!
[10:27] Ryza
    We leave tomorrow morning at nine.
[10:30] Ryza
    We'll meet at the waterfall and leave immediately!
[10:34] Tao
    H-Hey, wait!
[10:36] Ryza
    For starters, we'll check out
    the merchant coming to the village.
[10:39] Ryza
    Then we'll explore the opposite
    shore of the island—
[10:41] Tao
    You're going to break the tradition?!
[10:43] Ryza
    Who cares about the tradition?
[10:45] Ryza
    Being stuck on this island and not
    questioning it is what's ruining us.
[10:50] Lent
    Besides, how do we even
    get off of the island?
[10:54] Ryza
    That's obvious. We go to the port
    and secretly borrow a boat!
[11:00] Ryza
    Our first destination should be...
[11:04] Ryza
    Yes, this "Pixie Forest" sounds good.
[11:08] Ryza
    The name sounds peaceful.
[11:11] Tao
    A "Pixie" is a type of monster.
[11:14] Tao
    You saw them in the picture
    books as a kid, right?
[11:17] Ryza
    Oh, right.
[11:19] Ryza
    Well, in a pinch, we have Lent.
[11:21] Lent
    Hey.
[11:22] Ryza
    This is the first step towards a grand adventure!
[11:25] Ryza
    My adventuring spirit can't be stopped
    by anything, including monsters!
[11:31] Lent
    Yikes, this is bad. She's totally fired up.
[11:36] Tao
    I hope a good night's
    sleep extinguishes her...
[11:45] Ryza
    Tomorrow, I'll escape from this place.
[11:58] Lubart
    We should be able to arrive before noon!
[12:01] Klaudia
    The village of Rasenboden on Kurken
    Island... I wonder what it's like?
[12:06] Lubart
    I heard it's a closed-off village that doesn't
    really deal with any of the trading companies.
[12:12] Lubart
    This truly is a remote area, as I was told.
[12:15] Lubart
    I hear monsters can attack on
    the highways as well, so stay sharp.
[12:20] Klaudia
    Yes, Father.
[12:23] Klaudia
    But this place is beautiful.
[12:30] Empel
    An island full of ruins.
[12:33] Empel
    I'd like to hit the proverbial
    jackpot for once.
[12:36] Lila
    If this doesn't work out
    we just find another one.
[12:38] Empel
    Well, that's true.
[12:43] Empel
    That was the last one.
[12:46] Lila
    Let's hope the village is prosperous
    enough to provide snacks.
[12:59] Lent
    Are unis useful against monsters?
[13:07] Ryza
    Better than throwing rocks.
[13:10] Ryza
    Anyway, Tao is late.
[13:12] Lent
    I hope he didn't oversleep
    or get lost inside his books...
[13:15] Lent
    Oh.
[13:19] Tao
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[13:20] Ryza
    You're late.
[13:22] Tao
    I'm sorry.
[13:24] Lent
    What's that big hammer?
[13:27] Tao
    This was the only thing I could
    find that I could swing around.
[13:32] Tao
    Since you'll drive off
    the monsters anyway,
[13:34] Tao
    I thought this would be good enough.
[13:36] Lent
    R-Right, you can count on me!
[13:39] Ryza
    That's the spirit!
[13:41] Tao
    Just to double-check...
[13:43] Tao
    Are we really going? Outside the island?
[13:46] Ryza
    Of course we are!
[13:47] Ryza
    Come on, enough chit-chat! Let's go!
[13:51] Tao
    Hey, Ryza!
[13:52] Lent
    Let's go, Tao.
[13:53] Tao
    Hey, wait! You two!
[13:56] Ryza
    The usual sky! This deep blue summer
    sky, with the dry season impending...
[14:01] Ryza
    It's the best day to go on an adventure!
[14:07] Ryza
    Boat boat boat, find a boat
    and cross the water fast!
[14:14] Lent
    You make it sound so easy.
[14:16] Tao
    Is it that easy to borrow a boat?
[14:19] Ryza
    Don't worry. It's like they say,
    "Nothing ventured, nothing gained..."
[14:24] Tao
    Ryza?
[14:26] Tao
    What's wrong?
[14:28] Ryza
    Quiet.
[14:35] Ryza
    It's Agatha.
[14:38] Lent
    Looks like they're going to the port.
[14:41] Ryza
    That's trouble.
[14:44] Ryza
    I thought it would be easy to borrow
    a boat once we get to the port.
[14:48] Lent
    Of course not.
[14:51] Lent
    Wait, that's the extent of your
    planning for this adventure?
[14:55] Tao
    I wonder if the Guardians
    have gathered up at the port.
[14:58] Lent
    Well, the Guardians are
    in charge of security on this island.
[15:01] Lent
    It's natural they're the ones
    to greet the guests.
[15:04] Tao
    Wait, is our adventure already over?
[15:07] Ryza
    I can't give up now, after
    coming all the way here!
[15:11] Lent
    H-Hey.
[15:12] Tao
    Where are you going?!
[15:13] Ryza
    Come on, hurry!
[15:16] Bos
    It's them again.
[15:18] Lumbar
    Mr. Bos, what is it?
[15:20] Bos
    It's nothing. Let's go.
[15:22] Lumbar
    Yes!
[15:26] Fisherman A
    I can't believe they're
    making us stop fishing too.
[15:30] Fisherman A
    That's an awful lot for just one merchant.
[15:33] Fisherman B
    I guess the merchant
    is just that important.
[15:35] Romy
    Hey, hey!
[15:37] Romy
    I didn't do anything bad!
[15:40] Guardian A
    You heard the notice. Nobody
    gets on the ships today, Romy.
[15:44] Romy
    I just wanted to sneak by on
    a quick trip for urgent business.
[15:50] Agatha
    You just wanted to be the first person
    to talk with our guest, to get on their good side.
[15:56] Romy
    Oh, you're early, Miss Agatha.
[16:00] Agatha
    I heard that there's a stowaway.
[16:02] Agatha
    It's folks like you that force
    the higher-ups to be more strict.
[16:08] Guardian 1
    Agatha, the ships are ready.
    What should we do?
[16:11] Agatha
    Let's see.
[16:14] Agatha
    We're still a bit early,
[16:16] Agatha
    but let's head over to the other shore
    and prepare to welcome them.
[16:18] Agatha
    Romy, you and I will have a long talk later.
[16:22] Romy
    Ugh.
[16:26] Ryza
    Tada!
[16:27] Ryza
    See? An impressive boat, and we
    didn't even have to go to the port!
[16:33] Lent
    What do you mean, "See"?
[16:36] Tao
    This boat doesn't have a sail!
[16:38] Ryza
    Yes. It's just a boat that
    the locals use for fishing nearby.
[16:43] Tao
    Even the kids on the island know that
    we're not supposed to cross the lake
[16:46] Tao
    on a boat with no sail!
[16:48] Ryza
    More traditions?
[16:50] Ryza
    Leaving the island already
    breaks the tradition.
[16:54] Ryza
    Why care about traditions now?
[16:57] Lent
    You say that, but...
[16:59] Tao
    It's not that simple.
[17:01] Ryza
    Ugh, two men complaining like this!
[17:04] Ryza
    Sail or no sail, a boat is a boat.
[17:07] Ryza
    It's up to us whether or not we want to go!
[17:10] Ryza
    This is an adventure!
[17:14] Ryza
    If we don't decide to go now,
    nothing can start!
[17:18] Lent
    Well, that's true, but...
[17:19] Tao
    If the adults find out, who knows what—
[17:21] Ryza
    Crossing to the opposing shore
    is part of the adventure...
[17:24] Ryza
    Or rather, the start of it!
[17:27] Ryza
    Going to the places
    where the locals avoid...
[17:30] Ryza
    And also, walking down the
    highway to see where it leads,
[17:34] Ryza
    and going to the west side of the highway—
[17:35] Tao
    What!?
[17:36] Tao
    The west side of the highway!?
    That's forbidden ground!
[17:39] Tao
    It's dangerous! We'll get scolded!
    There's no way!
[17:43] Ryza
    What are you talking about?
[17:45] Ryza
    Those are exactly the types of places
    where adventuring happens!
[17:49] Tao
    Um...
[17:50] Ryza
    Besides, the tower shining in the north...
[17:55] Ryza
    Wouldn't it be fun to go there too?
[18:11] Ryza
    Right, Lent?
[18:12] Lent
    Yeah...
[18:15] Lent
    Adventuring, getting stronger...
[18:18] Lent
    So that it's obvious to my dad
    and the others in the village...
[18:21] Lent
    Yeah, conquering that tower
    far off in the distance
[18:26] Lent
    and making them know how powerful I am...
[18:29] Lent
    That's my dream!
[18:31] Tao
    Ugh, this again, as always.
[18:34] Tao
    If you two are going,
    I guess I have to go too.
[18:38] Ryza
    I'm glad you understand. Let's go!
[18:48] Lent
    Hey, watch it.
[18:51] Tao
    Ryza, you jumped on too fast.
[18:54] Ryza
    Lent, you can row for us.
[18:56] Ryza
    I'll take over when you get tired.
[18:58] Lent
    I saw that coming.
[19:01] Lent
    But fine. I'll do it!
[19:04] Tao
    Please don't count on me for this.
[19:08] Ryza
    Let's go!
[19:11] Ryza
    On our great adventure!
[19:15] Ryza
    Here we go!
[19:22] Ryza
    I, an ordinary girl,
    finally take the first step today.
[19:26] Ryza
    On my search for the thing missing
    from my the humdrum life on the island...
[19:29] Ryza
    To the outside of the island!
[19:32] Ryza
    I want to change the present.
[19:34] Ryza
    I want to find something unique to me!
[19:38] Ryza
    This is my reckless first step,
    guided only by my feelings!
[19:43] Ryza
    This is the beginning of our adventure!
[19:53] Empel
    So that's Kurken Island.
[19:55] Lila
    It's bigger than I expected.
[19:58] Empel
    I've been told it has an
    overwhelming number of ruins,
[20:01] Empel
    but let's see how good they are.
[20:05] Merchant A
    Did you find her?
[20:06] Merchant B
    No, she's not on the highway side. So...
[20:10] Merchant C
    Did the lady's bad habit
    rear its head again?
[20:13] Agatha
    Please wait a moment
    for the large ship to arrive.
[20:16] Agatha
    We are preparing a welcome
    party on the island.
[20:20] Lubart
    Thank you for your hospitality.
[20:22] Lubart
    But I'm surprised to see there
    really is nothing on this shore.
[20:28] Lubart
    Are you concerned about dangerous monsters?
[20:31] Agatha
    I'm embarrassed to admit this,
[20:33] Agatha
    but we, the residents of the island,
    don't like leaving it.
[20:37] Agatha
    Nobody comes here except
    a few fishermen.
[20:42] Lubart
    I see.
[20:43] Merchant B
    Sir, Lady Klaudia is...
[20:46] Lubart
    Again?
[20:47] Agatha
    Is there a problem?
[20:49] Lubart
    Well, my daughter seems
    to have gone missing.
[20:53] Agatha
    What?!
[20:54] Lubart
    Oh, no, I'm embarrassed
    to admit this, but...
[20:57] Lubart
    My daughter often wanders
    away from the caravan.
[21:03] Agatha
    Ah...
[21:05] Lila
    You heard them.
[21:07] Empel
    If the daughter doesn't
    come back for a while longer,
[21:10] Empel
    they might pay to have her found.
[21:12] Empel
    Lila, stand somewhere where
    the merchant can see you.
[21:16] Lila
    Sure, whatever...
[21:26] Ryza
    We're finally through.
[21:28] Lent
    What do you mean, "finally"?
[21:30] Lent
    You're the one who was so sure
    this is the right direction.
[21:33] Tao
    Rushing into the forest from
    the beach is too reckless.
[21:36] Ryza
    Huh, really?
[21:38] Lent
    Well, we got in without being seen
    by the townsfolk, so let's relax.
[21:43] Ryza
    Right. So we'll take a break, and...
[21:47] Ryza
    start planning our adventure!
[21:50] Tao
    We should've done that before we left.
[21:53] Tao
    Besides, this map has the port
    and a part of the highway,
[21:59] Tao
    but only shows the entrance to the forest.
[22:02] Lent
    The people on the island are
    too afraid to set foot here.
[22:07] Ryza
    If there was a complete map of the place,
    then what would be the point of adventuring?
[22:12] Ryza
    We're going to draw our own map!
[22:16] Ryza
    Hey, is that a path?
[22:18] Tao
    You're right. It's the remains
    of a road, at the very least.
[22:23] Ryza
    Right, let's follow it.
[22:33] Tao
    Hey, there are monsters here, right?
[22:37] Lent
    Don't be so scared.
[22:39] Lent
    The port is close by, so the monsters
    here can't be that strong.
[22:43] Ryza
    You've trained so hard for this.
[22:47] Ryza
    We're counting on you, Lent!
[22:49] Lent
    Yeah! I'll do it!
[22:51] Ryza
    Tao, you brought that thing too.
    Put it to good use.
[22:55] Tao
    Will I be able to?
[22:58] Ryza
    Alright, let's go!
[23:00] Ryza
    Let's find out where this path leads!
[23:03] Tao
    I hope we don't get lost.
[23:05] Ryza
    How could we get lost? We're
    just going along this road.
[23:08] Lent
    Good point.
[23:09] Tao
    Really?
[23:51] Lent
    Watch your step.
[23:53] Tao
    Hey, this isn't a road anymore.
[23:57] Ryza
    Our adventure is finally getting serious.
[24:01] Ryza
    Oh?!
[24:01] Tao
    What?!
[24:04] Ryza
    A mushroom I've never seen before! It's so big!
[24:07] Lent
    Mushrooms are dangerous. Don't touch it!
[24:09] Lent
    And how many things have you
    "never seen before"?
[24:12] Tao
    Haven't we had enough
    adventuring? Let's go home.
[24:16] Ryza
    It hasn't been that long yet. I think.
[24:22] Ryza
    Besides, we haven't encountered
    a truly adventurous event yet...
[24:32] Ryza
    Whoa!
[24:37] Lent
    What's this!?
[24:38] Tao
    A-A girl?!
[24:40] Ryza
    Ouch...
[24:41] Klaudia
    Oh, I'm sorry!
[24:43] Klaudia
    A monster... Oh!
[24:45] Lent
    Monsters?!
[24:49] Ryza
    Come at me if you dare!
[24:59] Lent
    Those are monsters, right?
[25:02] Tao
    What should we do?
[25:04] Ryza
    W-We'll just have to fight them!
[25:07] Ryza
    Ow!
[25:09] Lent
    What are you doing? I'll handle this!
[25:16] Ryza
    Come on! Stay still!
[25:21] Tao
    You're both missing!
[25:23] Ryza & Lent
    I know!
[25:27] Ryza
    Can you run?
[25:29] Klaudia
    Y-Yes!
[25:31] Ryza
    Both of you! Let's run!
[25:34] Lent
    Got it.
[25:37] Lent
    Take this!
[25:45] Lent
    I did it!
[25:46] Tao
    Lent, hurry!
[25:48] Lent
    Y-Yeah.
[25:54] Ryza
    The monsters?
[25:57] Tao
    I don't think they followed us.
[26:03] Lent
    Yeah, I blew them away with that last swing.
[26:06] Ryza
    Your daily training paid off!
[26:08] Ryza
    Are you hurt? Everything okay?
[26:11] Klaudia
    Yes, I'm fine.
[26:13] Klaudia
    Um, thanks for saving me.
[26:17] Klaudia
    I'm Klaudia Valentz.
[26:19] Ryza
    You're welcome.
[26:21] Ryza
    I'm Reisalin Stout. Just call me Ryza.
[26:25] Ryza
    That's Lent and Tao over there.
[26:28] Ryza
    We live on the island up ahead.
[26:31] Klaudia
    Is that Kurken Island?
[26:34] Ryza
    Yes, we've come all the way to this forest
    from there, on an adventure!
[26:39] Klaudia
    Adventure...?
[26:40] Ryza
    Yes, adventure!
[26:42] Ryza
    We're trying to find something we've never
    seen before, something totally impressive!
[26:46] Lent
    Across that lake!
[26:49] Tao
    For no good reason, yes.
[26:52] Klaudia
    I see.
[26:54] Ryza
    Klaudia, what are you doing
    out here in the forest?
[26:57] Klaudia
    Well, I came with a caravan, but
    I got separated from them in the forest...
[27:04] Ryza
    Is that the merchant
    everyone was talking about?
[27:07] Klaudia
    I don't know, but my father is a merchant.
[27:12] Tao
    In that case, we might avoid
    getting scolded because we saved her.
[27:17] Lent
    Aww, don't be so negative.
[27:19] Lent
    But really, didn't we do
    pretty well just now?
[27:23] Ryza
    Saving a girl from being attacked
    by a monster, helping her get home...
[27:28] Ryza
    Yes, that's a great result
    for a first adventure!
[27:32] Klaudia
    You all are really impressive.
[27:35] Ryza
    Really? Well, we did
    prepare a lot for this day.
[27:40] Tao
    You barely did anything.
[27:43] Ryza
    Don't say that!
[27:46] Klaudia
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[27:48] Ryza
    Don't worry. I guess we'll
    wrap it up here and head home.
[27:52] Tao
    Yes! We're going home!
[27:54] Klaudia
    Which way should we go?
[27:57] Ryza
    Probably that way.
[27:57] Lent
    That way, I think.
[27:57] Tao
    Isn't it that way?
[28:02] Ryza
    Alright... This way, then!
[28:06] Ryza
    You said you got lost, but you did
    head pretty deep into the forest.
[28:11] Klaudia
    Yes. Well...
[28:14] Ryza
    It's terrible that you ran into a monster.
[28:18] Klaudia
    Yes, but it wasn't all bad.
[28:20] Klaudia
    I got to see a lot of pretty flowers.
[28:23] Ryza
    Flowers, huh? I guess
    I never paid attention to those.
[28:27] Klaudia
    See, over there.
[28:30] Klaudia
    That's a Blue Clover.
[28:32] Ryza
    Blue Clover!
[28:34] Ryza
    It's pretty.
[28:35] Klaudia
    Yes, I saw many other flowers
    along the highway as well.
[28:39] Klaudia
    Some small white flowers and
    cute blue flowers, among others.
[28:45] Ryza
    I see.
[28:47] Klaudia
    I pressed them, so you can see them later.
[28:49] Ryza
    Really? Thanks!
[28:52] Ryza
    But what do you mean, pressed them?
[28:55] Klaudia
    Oh, well, you take some flowers and
    put them in between sheets of paper...
[28:58] Lent
    This adventure's turning into a picnic.
[29:05] Tao
    Hey, are we really on the right path?
[29:08] Ryza
    Trust my instincts. We're getting
    closer to the forest exit...
[29:14] Ryza
    ... Don't you think?
[29:22] Lent
    We really should get going.
[29:25] Ryza
    Lent!
[29:27] Tao
    W-What...
[29:28] Klaudia
    Over there!
[29:37] Ryza
    More monsters?
[29:39] Tao
    These are the Pixies we saw
    in the picture books!
[29:42] Tao
    W-What do we do!?
[29:56] Lent
    Damn it, I let my guard down...
[30:02] Lent
    Idiot, what can you do with that thing?
[30:05] Ryza
    But...
[30:05] Tao
    They're coming!
[30:10] Lent
    Ow, hey!
[30:26] Rent
    Focusing on Lent? You...
[30:32] Lent
    I'll hold them off! You guys run!
[30:35] Tao
    I can't do that!
[30:39] Ryza
    I have to... I have to do something...
[30:42] Lent
    Stop wasting time!
[30:44] Lent
    I swear I'll stop them, so...
[30:47] Lila
    No, you can't.
[30:58] Empel
    Don't move.
[31:31] Lent
    Such strong monsters, so quickly...?
[31:34] Lila
    Strong? I'm surprised you
    made it this far with your skills.
[31:41] Empel
    Target in custody.
[31:44] Empel
    But first, we should tend to their wounds.
[31:48] Empel
    There's an open area up ahead. Let's move.
[31:51] Klaudia
    Y-Yes.
[31:53] Klaudia
    Let's go, Ryza.
[31:57] Klaudia
    Ryza?
[32:04] Tao
    What's this place doing
    in the middle of the forest?
[32:08] Empel
    Most likely a forest guard cabin
    built on a ruin from the Klint Kingdom.
[32:12] Empel
    Klint Kingdom? The one
    that fell a long time ago?
[32:17] Empel
    Yes.
[32:17] Klaudia
    This language too?
[32:19] Empel
    Yes.
[32:22] Empel
    It says, "A safe place
    where monsters don't come".
[32:26] Tao
    Those characters...
[32:32] Tao
    He can read them!
[32:35] Lila
    Take care of your wounds already.
[32:38] Lent
    Um...
[32:41] Lila
    You didn't even bring any medicine?
[32:45] Empel
    Wow. Hey, show me your arm.
[32:49] Lent
    O-Okay.
[32:50] Lent
    Ouch!
[33:01] Tao
    W-What?
[33:02] Klaudia
    The wound! It disappeared!
[33:05] Lent
    It doesn't even hurt. It's really healed!
[33:09] Empel
    Let's go.
[33:19] Tao
    I've never seen anything
    like that before...
[33:21] Klaudia
    Me neither...
[33:29] Empel
    That is an Exorcism Brooch.
[33:31] Empel
    Hold it up properly, so that
    the monsters don't approach.
[33:35] Lent
    G-Got it.
[33:39] Lent
    Her strength was unbelievable.
[33:42] Lent
    So that's what real fighting
    technique looks like...?
[33:54] Ryza
    Are you a wizard?
[33:56] Empel
    Hmm?
[33:57] Ryza
    That bomb you used on the monster,
    that medicine you used on Lent,
[34:01] Ryza
    that lamp with the blue flame,
[34:03] Ryza
    and that brooch over there...
[34:05] Ryza
    Is that all your magic?
[34:08] Empel
    Ah, so you really don't know anything.
[34:13] Empel
    I am an alchemist.
[34:15] Empel
    Those are all made through alchemy.
[34:19] Ryza
    Alchemy...?
[34:25] Ryza; Lent; Tao
    We're sorry!
[34:28] Agatha
    You brats!
[34:30] Agatha
    Not only did you break our traditions,
    you caused trouble for our visitors!
[34:38] Klaudia
    Please don't blame them. If it
    weren't for them, the monsters—
[34:42] Lubart
    If the two I hired to
    find you hadn't made it in time,
[34:45] Lubart
    all four of you would have been in danger.
[34:48] Lubart
    Do you understand that?
[34:50] Lubart
    You have to stop wandering off on your own.
[34:55] Klaudia
    Yes. I'm sorry, everyone!
[34:58] Merchants
    Nah, it's fine, you're safe.
    That's what matters.
[35:01] Lubart
    We must hurry. We can't keep
    the people on the island waiting.
[35:07] Agatha
    Yes. Do you have business
    in the village as well?
[35:10] Empel
    Yes. We're researching the
    ruins of the Klint Kingdom.
[35:16] Lila
    I am his bodyguard.
[35:19] Empel
    It would be great if we could
    stay on the island for a while.
[35:24] Empel
    I can also offer my services
    as an alchemist to make various items.
[35:29] Ryza
    Alchemist, making items...!
[35:32] Agatha
    Oh, that's quite rare.
[35:34] Agatha
    At any rate, you saved our precious guest.
[35:38] Agatha
    We will welcome you accordingly.
[35:40] Empel
    I am grateful. I am Empel, she is Lila.
[35:45] Empel
    We thank you for your hospitality.
[35:52] Lubart
    Ryza, is it?
[35:54] Ryza
    Yes.
[35:56] Lubart
    I couldn't say this
    in front of everyone earlier,
[35:59] Lubart
    but thank you for saving my daughter.
[36:02] Ryza
    Oh, no, that's fine.
[36:04] Lubart
    It might be a short stay, but please
    be good to my daughter.
[36:11] Ryza
    Okay!
[36:15] Moritz
    Welcome to the village of Rasenboden!
[36:19] Moritz
    I am Moritz Brunnen. I take
    care of things in this town.
[36:24] Moritz
    If you need anything, please
    don't hesitate to ask me.
[36:28] Lubart
    Thank you, Mr. Moritz. I am Lubart Valentz.
[36:32] Lubart
    I hope we can establish
    a good business relationship.
[36:32] Klaudia
    That loud person speaking to my
    father, is that the village mayor?
[36:36] Moritz
    I heard you wanted to trade
    for our Kurken Fruit?
[36:37] Ryza
    No, he's more like... the face
    of the village? He's Mr. Moritz.
[36:40] Lubart
    Yes. It's a rarity in the capital,
    and highly sought after.
[36:43] Lent
    He's a self-important man who likes
    to stick his nose in everything.
[36:47] Klaudia
    Is he rich?
[36:49] Ryza
    He has money, but more
    importantly, he has water.
[36:54] Ryza
    His mansion is on a hill on the island,
    and the water source is on his property.
[36:59] Tao
    On this island, the person
    who has the water has the power.
[37:03] Tao
    Very backwards, right?
[37:05] Klaudia
    Backwards? This place is beautiful!
[37:09] Klaudia
    I've never seen such a beautiful sunset.
[37:13] Ryza
    Hmm, really?
[37:16] Ryza
    Well, in any case, nice to meet you, Klaudia!
[37:20] Klaudia
    Yes, likewise, Ryza!
[37:23] Klaudia
    And Lent and Tao!
[37:26] Lent
    Yeah!
[37:27] Tao
    Yes.
[37:33] Ryza
    We're all glad we went, right?
[37:39] Ryza
    On the adventure.
[37:43] Tao
    Well, we ran into trouble,
    but in the end, yeah.
[37:48] Lent
    I agree.
[37:49] Ryza
    Right!
[37:50] Bos
    Glad you went? Sheesh.
[37:55] Ryza
    Bos, Lumbar...
[37:58] Bos
    You ran off
    the island with barely a plan
[38:01] Bos
    and immediately got taken down by a monster.
[38:03] Bos
    You had to get a drifter to save you, right?
[38:05] Lent
    What? How did you know!?
[38:07] Lumbar
    The Guardians were complaining.
[38:10] Lumbar
    That they had to waste time dealing
    with a bunch of kids with no self-awareness.
[38:16] Lumbar
    It ended up delaying the merchant's arrival,
    so we had to rearrange everything.
[38:22] Bos
    Hmph, seems like you don't
    even regret what you did, Ryza.
[38:27] Lumbar
    Get out of the way.
    Mr. Bos is busy, unlike you.
[38:43] Ryza
    No self-awareness, huh?
[38:49] Ryza
    But without taking the first step,
    we can't get anywhere.
[38:56] Ryza
    Yes. Because I took my
    first step today, I...
[39:10] (Flashback) Empel
    I am an alchemist.
[39:13] (Flashback) Empel
    Those are all made through alchemy.
[39:17] Ryza
    I was able to encounter...
[39:18] Ryza
    alchemy!
[39:25] Ryza
    What's up, you two?
[39:28] Lent
    What do you mean, "What's up?"
[39:30] Tao
    You're going to see them, right?
[39:33] Lent
    We are too.
[39:37] Ryza
    I knew it! Let's go!
[39:49] Ryza
    Thank you for yesterday!
[39:52] Lent & Tao
    Thank you!
[39:54] Lila
    Don't mention it.
    It was just part of the job.
[39:57] Empel
    So, what do you want?
[39:59] Ryza; Lent; Tao
    Please! We need you to...
[40:04] Lent
    Teach me the basics of fighting!
[40:09] Tao
    Read this book for me!
[40:13] Rya
    Teach me alchemy!
[40:18] Lila
    I'm very busy right now.
[40:20] Empel
    No.
[40:22] Ryza
    B-But, we're—
[40:25] Empel
    We don't have that much free time.
[40:28] Empel
    Especially on this island,
    with so many ruins.
[40:31] Empel
    So, I'm sorry to say, please leave—
[40:34] Empel
    This is a book on structural mechanics...
[40:38] Tao
    Um, can you read it?
[40:40] Empel
    Of course I can.
[40:44] Empel
    Where did you find this book?
[40:47] Tao
    We have many books in
    the underground library at my house!
[40:52] Empel
    I see. Lila, we may have
    hit that proverbial jackpot.
[40:56] Lila
    I see.
[41:01] Lila
    I'll teach you the basics of fighting
    if you can show us around this area.
[41:08] Lent
    Yes! I'll do anything!
[41:11] Ryza
    So, for me too...
[41:12] Empel
    I'm sorry, but I can't teach you alchemy.
[41:15] Ryza
    Why not...?
[41:17] Empel
    Alchemy is all about innate aptitude.
[41:20] Empel
    And it's a rare aptitude
    that not everyone has—
[41:23] Ryza
    Then...
[41:25] Ryza
    Test me! Check if I have that aptitude.
[41:33] Empel
    What's your name?
[41:35] Ryza
    Reisalin Stout!
[41:37] Empel
    Okay, Ryza. Let's see
    if you can gather materials.
[41:41] Ryza
    Gather... materials?
[41:43] Empel
    Being able to identify materials
    is the basic foundation of alchemy.
[41:47] Empel
    Find me more of this.
[41:52] Ryza
    Understood. I'll do it!
[41:57] Ryza
    That said, where have I seen this herb?
[42:01] Ryza
    Where...
[42:03] Ryza
    I can't remember!
[42:05] Klaudia
    Ryza!
[42:07] Ryza
    Klaudia?
[42:11] Klaudia
    Good morning. We meet again!
[42:14] Ryza
    Huh? Why are you here?
[42:16] Klaudia
    We'll be staying here for a
    while, so we rented a house.
[42:19] Klaudia
    See? That one.
[42:21] Klaudia
    Please come visit whenever you want.
[42:23] Ryza
    Okay! I'll show you around the island too.
[42:26] Ryza
    The Fairystone Forest,
    the Rainbow Grape Grove...
[42:30] Ryza
    Huh? Oh, right! The Fairystone Forest!
[42:34] Ryza
    Thanks, Klaudia!
[42:37] Klaudia
    Huh?
[42:40] Ryza
    This is it! I'm certain!
[42:43] Ryza
    I did it!
[42:48] Ryza
    The herbs that I saw all
    throughout my childhood...
[42:53] Ryza
    These are actually materials for alchemy!
[43:05] Ryza
    So maybe, all of those other
    things are materials too?
[43:20] Empel
    This is indeed Nameless Grass...
[43:22] Empel
    But this was a material identification
    test. Why grab so much?
[43:26] Lila
    She was faster than we expected.
[43:28] Lent
    Well, we explored every corner
    of this island when we were kids.
[43:33] Ryza
    Yeah.
[43:34] Empel
    So, how was your first gathering?
[43:38] Ryza
    It was fun!
[43:39] Ryza
    There are so many interesting things
    in the world, I just never noticed it!
[43:45] Empel
    I see. "Interesting things"?
[43:48] Empel
    If you can feel that way, perhaps...
[43:52] Empel
    Never mind. Next is "Synthesis".
[43:55] Ryza
    Y-Yes!
[43:59] Empel
    First, watch what I do.
[44:02] Empel
    What we're making is
    the most basic alchemy item...
[44:07] Empel
    The "Supplement".
[44:11] Empel
    First, we convert these materials into
    a different type of matter in the alchemy pot.
[44:19] Empel
    Then we create an object.
[44:23] Empel
    It's all done by envisioning the completed
    recipe strongly in your mind.
[44:40] Empel
    And thus, this "Supplement" has been
    created from Nameless Grass and water.
[44:46] Ryza
    Wow...
[44:48] Empel
    Now you try.
[44:50] Ryza
    W-What!? So soon!? I just saw it for the first time!
[44:54] Empel
    This is easy to do.
[44:57] Empel
    If you have the aptitude, that is.
[45:01] Ryza
    Right!
[45:04] Ryza
    Um, this much, I think. And next...
[45:14] Ryza
    And then, this...
[45:18] Ryza
    To make that green thing!
[45:25] Ryza
    There, how's that!?
[45:36] Ryza
    Wow.
[45:39] Ryza
    Did it work?
[45:42] Empel
    Looks like I hit another jackpot...
    Or rather, this might be the real jackpot.
[45:48] Ryza
    So, do you mean...
[45:51] Empel
    You pass the test.
[45:54] Lent
    Wow!
[45:54] Tao
    Yes!
[45:55] Empel
    Ryza, you can become an alchemist.
[45:59] Empel
    Or rather, you already are an
    alchemist, though only a beginner.
[46:06] Ryza
    Yes!
[46:09] Lent
    Wow, you actually pulled it off!
[46:12] Tao
    You're already an alchemist!
    That's awesome, Ryza!
[46:16] Ryza
    Yes, yes!
[46:19] Lent
    It's unbelievable!
[46:20] Tao
    Ryza, an alchemist!
