**[00:07] Ryza**
Just you wait, Bos. You think I'm all talk?
**[00:11] Ryza**
I'll make you admit I'm not!
**[00:14] Ryza**
To do that, the people in our village
need to see more amazing feats of alchemy.
**[00:20] Ryza**
But what's the best way to amaze them?
**[00:23] Klaudia**
Excuse me.
**[00:25] Ryza**
Klaudia?
**[00:26] Tao**
Ryza, Mr. Lubart wants to see us.
**[00:30] Lent**
It's a new test.
**[00:33] Ryza**
Oh! Coming!
**[00:36] Ryza**
I can think about this later!
**[00:39] Ryza**
Right, time to do my best!
**[00:52] Lyrics**
*I realized this yesterday*
**[00:54] Lyrics**
*But when I tried to walk*
**[00:55] Lyrics**
*My usual shoes were too small*
**[00:58] Lyrics**
*I might get laughed at*
**[00:59] Lyrics**
*But when you were looking out at the ocean*
**[01:01] Lyrics**
*You seemed more grown-up*
**[01:10] Lyrics**
*What are my treasures?*
**[01:11] Lyrics**
*What are the things I love?*
**[01:13] Lyrics**
*You only realize it once they're gone*
**[01:16] Lyrics**
*Somewhere under this familiar sky*
**[01:18] Lyrics**
*They're probably hidden*
**[01:22] Lyrics**
*Morning comes again*
**[01:24] Lyrics**
*I tie my ribbon up like a butterfly*
**[01:28] Lyrics**
*There's still some warmth left*
**[01:30] Lyrics**
*In the dream this girl had seen*
**[01:39] Lyrics**
*Let's go without stopping*
**[01:41] Lyrics**
*Let's head toward the light*
**[01:42] Lyrics**
*We can't turn back*
**[01:44] Lyrics**
*Let's hold hands in this golden ray*
**[01:46] Lyrics**
* You're still by my side,*
* you're still by my side*
**[01:51] Lyrics**
*Let's go without stopping*
**[01:53] Lyrics**
*Let's go the way we want to go*
**[01:54] Lyrics**
*Toward this little golden ray that we chose*
**[01:58] Lyrics**
* Because you're still by my side,*
* you're still by my side*
**[02:15] Ryza**
Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[02:16] Lubart**
No, I'm the one who should apologize
for calling you up so suddenly.
***SIGN*** #08 - Alchemy is an Explosion!
**[02:19] Moritz**
So, the brats are finally here.
**[02:22] Moritz**
How important you've become, to
make a Brunnen family member wait.
**[02:27] Ryza**
Mr. Moritz and Agatha? Why are you here?
**[02:31] Agatha**
This is technically a job
request from the village.
**[02:36] Ryza**
From the village?
**[02:38] Agatha**
It's about the trash here.
**[02:40] Lent**
This used to be a public
square. How terrible.
**[02:44] Klaudia**
These are... parts of
a stone wall and a house?
**[02:48] Tao**
Yeah. In our village, a lot of houses
are built by remodeling old ruins.
**[02:52] Tao**
Every time there's a big earthquake,
a few bits and pieces fall off.
**[02:56] Agatha**
It started with just the locals
dumping the broken pieces here.
**[03:00] Agatha**
But recently, this area became
where everyone puts their trash.
**[03:04] Moritz**
I've received complaints
saying it blocks travel.
**[03:09] Moritz**
As such, I volunteered to solve this issue
**[03:11] Moritz**
for the betterment of
the lives of the villagers!
**[03:15] Ryza**
Right, sure.
**[03:17] Ryza**
Oh, so the test is...
**[03:19] Lubart**
Yes. Please clean this place up
using your alchemy.
**[03:25] Moritz**
We have a meeting with
outside merchants in ten days.
**[03:29] Moritz**
I want this mess cleaned up before that.
**[03:34] Lent**
So that's the truth. It's not about
our livelihood, it's about appearances.
**[03:39] Moritz**
Did you say something?
**[03:41] Lent**
No sir.
**[03:43] Moritz**
Anyway, do your thing and
clean this up in a week.
**[03:49] Ryza**
The "thing" is called alchemy!
**[03:53] Moritz**
I don't care.
**[03:55] Moritz**
Can you do it or not?
**[04:00] Ryza**
Hmm...
**[04:06] Ryza**
Got it!
**[04:08] Ryza**
I'm on it!
**[04:11] Moritz**
Are you sure she can handle this?
**[04:16] Lubart**
Yes.
**[04:16] Lubart**
She was able to fix the leak
in our home with alchemy.
**[04:22] Lubart**
Let's count on them.
**[04:24] Moritz**
If you say so.
**[04:27] Moritz**
You! Don't disappoint me.
**[04:31] Ryza**
I'll do my best!
**[04:33] Lent**
First fixing a leak, now cleaning up trash.
**[04:37] Tao**
We're really settling in as handymen.
**[04:40] Klaudia**
I'm sorry about this.
**[04:42] Ryza**
It's fine. If that's what it takes
to get Mr. Lubart to accept us—
**[04:46] Agatha**
Hey! This area is dangerous!
**[04:49] Agatha**
Go play somewhere else!
**[04:51] Kid A**
Oh, it's Agatha!
**[04:54] Kid B**
Retreat! Escape!
**[04:57] Agatha**
The merchant meeting is one thing, but
I wanted this cleaned up as soon as possible
**[05:02] Agatha**
since kids like to play here.
**[05:05] Agatha**
Hmm? What's wrong?
**[05:07] Ryza**
I know you weren't yelling at me, but...
**[05:11] Lent**
You were the main target of her
yelling until recently, after all!
**[05:14] Ryza**
Same to you too, Lent and Tao.
**[05:17] Tao**
I was just being dragged along unwillingly.
**[05:21] Klaudia**
That's easy to imagine.
**[05:23] Ryza**
What?! Klaudia, you too?!
**[05:27] Agatha**
But seriously, Ryza, can you handle this?
**[05:31] Ryza**
You're going to doubt my alchemy too?
**[05:35] Agatha**
Doubt? I've never seen this "alchemy" thing.
**[05:41] Ryza**
Oh, right. Well, then!
**[05:44] Ryza**
This is my chance to show everyone
what my alchemy can do!
**[05:50] Agatha**
I see. Well, good luck.
**[05:54] Lent**
But Ryza, Agatha's right to be worried.
**[05:59] Lent**
You do have an actual plan, right?
**[06:02] Tao**
Yeah. This is too much
to carry away in a week.
**[06:08] Ryza**
Oh, you underestimate me,
Reisalin Stout the Alchemist.
**[06:13] Klaudia**
Do you have a plan?
**[06:14] Ryza**
Of course!
**[06:17] Ryza**
If it's too heavy to carry quickly,
**[06:20] Ryza**
I just have to pulverize it all!
**[06:23] Ryza**
My Bombs can easily blow
stones like these into smithereens!
**[06:29] Lent**
You were seriously going to set off
that huge bomb around these houses?
**[06:35] Ryza**
Hmm.
**[06:37] Tao**
Any explosion strong enough
to break apart stone
**[06:40] Tao**
would send shrapnel everywhere
and cause huge damage!
**[06:43] Ryza**
I see.
**[06:46] Klaudia**
Ryza...
**[06:47] Ryza**
Yes.
**[06:50] Ryza**
What should I do?
**[06:55] Ryza**
They're right. I can't use Bombs there.
**[07:01] Ryza**
It's like what Empel said. I have to
think about how to use alchemy
**[07:05] Ryza**
and what effects it could cause.
**[07:09] Empel**
Did you call for me?
**[07:11] Ryza**
Empel!
**[07:13] Ryza**
Actually... Oh.
**[07:15] Empel**
Hmm?
**[07:16] Ryza**
It's nothing.
**[07:19] Ryza**
I took on the job myself.
I have to take care of it.
**[07:24] Empel**
Ryza.
**[07:26] Empel**
We were a bit busy and forgot,
but I wanted to give you this.
**[07:30] Ryza**
Huh?
**[07:31] Empel**
This book contains
high-level alchemy recipes.
**[07:34] Empel**
Take a look if you want to advance further.
**[07:37] Ryza**
Thank you! This might give me a hint!
**[07:41] Empel**
I see.
**[07:51] Ryza**
Oh, leaving again?
**[07:53] Empel**
I just came back to get something. Goodbye.
**[07:59] Ryza**
Right!
**[08:05] Empel**
Will this do?
**[08:07] Klaudia**
Yes, thank you!
**[08:11] Lent**
Ryza is totally diving into the book already.
**[08:13] Tao**
I hope that gives her a good idea.
**[08:16] Lila**
You didn't wait even a full day
before helping her. How soft.
**[08:22] Klaudia**
I'm the reason Ryza is being tested,
so I wanted to help however I could.
**[08:27] Empel**
Well, giving her that book is no guarantee
that she can put the content to use—
**[08:32] Ryza**
This is it!
**[08:36] Ryza**
By adding this "Luft" item that
creates a wind, I can improve the Bombs...
**[08:41] Ryza**
I'll test it first, and...
**[08:44] Ryza**
Yes!
**[08:46] Ryza**
Time to get busy!
**[08:53] Ryza**
Got it!
**[08:56] Lent**
Morning!
**[08:58] Tao**
You came first again.
**[09:00] Klaudia**
You're working hard every day.
**[09:05] Ryza**
You could say that!
**[09:06] Tao**
Whoa! You made that many Bombs?
**[09:10] Empel**
This is almost enough to
blow up the whole area.
**[09:13] Lent**
Hey, is that safe?
**[09:16] Ryza**
It's fine, as long as you don't toss them all
into an open fire or something.
**[09:19] Ryza**
More importantly, Tao, can you
teach me how to take notes?
**[09:23] Ryza**
When I write stuff...
**[09:26] Tao**
You can't just write everything
that comes to mind.
**[09:29] Tao**
You have to clean it up in your head first.
**[09:32] Lent**
I'll go back to my training then.
**[09:35] Klaudia**
I should practice archery too.
**[09:37] Klaudia**
Ryza, I brought lunch.
Let's eat together later.
**[09:41] Ryza**
Okay!
**[09:45] Ryza**
Hmm, what should the ratio be?
**[09:50] Tao**
Empel, is this an imperative form?
**[09:52] Empel**
Yes. Don't confuse it with an exclamatory.
**[10:03] Lila**
You're starting to land some hits.
**[10:06] Lila**
From here, just keep shooting until you can
feel the arrows' trajectory in your mind.
**[10:10] Klaudia**
Got it!
**[10:15] Lent**
I think I'm starting to become stable.
**[10:18] Lent**
Yeah!
**[10:23] Lila**
Lent, stop losing your
concentration so quickly.
**[10:25] Lila**
Habits built during training
will come out in battle.
**[10:27] Lent**
Understood!
**[10:31] Lent**
Yum!
**[10:34] Klaudia**
Hey Ryza, how's the synthesis going?
**[10:39] Ryza**
It's coming along well. I've got
the knack of the synthesis itself,
**[10:43] Ryza**
so now I have to experiment to get
the right effect and power level.
**[10:45] Tao**
You're going to test all of that?
**[10:48] Ryza**
Just some of it.
**[10:49] Ryza**
It's an experiment. I have to
test quickly and thoroughly!
**[10:53] Empel**
That's correct.
**[10:55] Lent**
These alchemists...
**[10:57] Lila**
That's just how they are.
**[11:07] Ryza**
Mmm, so close...
**[11:10] Ryza**
Ingredients, synthesis...
**[11:41] Ryza**
I did it!
**[11:43] Ryza**
Big success...
**[11:48] Ryza**
So, the whole area is about this big...
**[11:52] Ryza**
I guess two would be just right.
**[11:54] Agatha**
Ryza.
**[11:56] Ryza**
Agatha.
**[11:58] Agatha**
The deadline is soon.
How is your alchemy coming along?
**[12:04] Ryza**
I think it's going alright.
**[12:07] Agatha**
That's not reassuring.
**[12:10] Agatha**
If you can't make it,
I can apologize with you—
**[12:12] Pat**
Ryza can handle it.
**[12:15] Ryza**
Oh, Mr. Pat.
**[12:17] Pat**
I heard that you're going to
clean that place up with alchemy.
**[12:22] Pat**
Here's a bit of encouragement.
**[12:24] Ryza**
Wow!
**[12:26] Ryza**
Thank you so much!
**[12:28] Agatha**
Mr. Pat, do you know about Ryza's alchemy?
**[12:33] Pat**
Yes, she helped me with a few things.
**[12:36] Pat**
Not just me, but Barbara,
Bascila, and Jonna too, I think?
**[12:41] Agatha**
So many?
**[12:43] Ryza**
Thank you for that.
**[12:44] Ryza**
Agatha, I'll show you too,
**[12:47] Ryza**
just how great alchemy is.
**[12:49] Ryza**
Look forward to it!
**[12:51] Ryza**
See you.
**[12:53] Pat**
Sad to see the brat leave
your protection, Big Sister?
**[13:00] Agatha**
Who knows?
**[13:01] Agatha**
But perhaps that will
happen this time around.
**[13:20] Lent**
Please don't go past
this rope. It's dangerous!
**[13:24] Tao**
Please hold on to your children!
**[13:51] Ryza**
Thanks for waiting! I'm starting.
**[13:56] Ryza**
Please, both of you,
step back behind the rope.
**[14:00] Ryza**
Lent! Tao!
**[14:02] Lent**
Ready!
**[14:03] Tao**
Me too!
**[14:08] Ryza**
Klaudia, you too, just in case.
**[14:11] Klaudia**
Yes. Good luck, Ryza!
**[14:18] Ryza**
The setup is good...
**[14:24] Ryza**
Now...
**[14:26] Ryza**
Go!
**[14:51] Villager A**
What was that?! What happened?!
**[14:54] Villager B**
Such a huge explosion,
but no shrapnel at all?
**[15:03] Ryza**
Yes!
**[15:06] Klaudia**
Ryza, great job!
**[15:09] Lent**
Hey, you did it!
**[15:11] Tao**
Huge success!
**[15:18] Villager C**
Wow, this is "alchemy"?
**[15:20] Villager D**
The stone blocks were blown to bits!
**[15:25] Ryza**
How's that? The junk is gone,
with no damage to the surroundings.
**[15:30] Ryza**
Now it's easy to move everything out!
**[15:33] Moritz**
Yes, indeed...
**[15:35] Lubart**
Impressive, Miss Reisalin Stout.
**[15:38] Lubart**
You pass the second test as well.
**[15:41] Ryza**
Yes!
**[15:43] Ryza**
Wait, second? So that wasn't the final test.
**[15:47] Lent**
It's not easy for a parent to
accept their children's achievements.
**[15:57] Tao**
Getting praise like that feels good.
**[16:01] Klaudia**
It sure does!
**[16:03] Lent**
I'm glad it worked out.
**[16:05] Ryza**
We ran so many experiments
and made sure it was fine.
**[16:09] Ryza**
Just sit back and rely on me!
**[16:13] Bos**
Are you happy because
people liked your fireworks?
**[16:17] Bos**
You really are in over your heads.
**[16:19] Tao**
Bos!
**[16:21] Lent**
Who's over whose head?
**[16:23] Bos**
Hmph.
**[16:27] Ryza**
What's the issue? Alchemy
did help the village.
**[16:33] Ryza**
Bos, did you enjoy the fireworks too?
**[16:43] Lent**
Bos couldn't say anything back.
Suits him well!
**[16:47] Tao**
Lent...
**[16:49] Klaudia**
"Alchemy helped the village"...
**[16:52] Klaudia**
Did my father set up the test to
demonstrate that to the village?
**[16:56] Ryza**
What's wrong, Klaudia?
**[16:59] Klaudia**
Oh, nothing.
**[17:04] Ryza**
I'm exhausted.
**[17:08] Agatha**
Ryza.
**[17:09] Ryza**
Oh, Agatha.
**[17:11] Ryza**
Did you see my alchemy?
**[17:14] Agatha**
Yes. I'm quite impressed.
**[17:17] Ryza**
It's just something I do now. Haha.
**[17:21] Agatha**
I heard from Romy that your alchemy
can fix things. Is that correct?
**[17:27] Ryza**
Yeah, but it has to be simple enough
for me to understand how it's put together.
**[17:32] Agatha**
I see. Well, do you think you can fix this?
**[17:36] Ryza**
Huh?
**[17:38] Ryza**
Wow, so pretty... Is this an ornament?
**[17:41] Agatha**
Something like that, yes.
**[17:44] Agatha**
It's precious to me. What do you think?
**[17:47] Ryza**
Well, it doesn't look very complex.
**[17:52] Ryza**
Yeah, I think I can fix this.
**[17:54] Agatha**
Wonderful. The village blacksmith
couldn't, so I had given up.
**[18:00] Agatha**
Can you do this for me?
**[18:02] Ryza**
Of course!
**[18:06] Agatha**
You've changed.
**[18:09] Agatha**
I'm counting on you.
**[18:15] Ryza**
Agatha's counting on me.
**[18:19] Ryza**
Alright, one more push!
**[18:24] Romy**
And yes, it was a great feat of alchemy!
**[18:30] Villager E**
I see.
**[18:31] Villager F**
I should have gone to see too.
**[18:33] Romy**
It's most unfortunate that you missed it!
**[18:36] Romy**
But just for you, this Blessing Ointment!
**[18:40] Villager G**
What's the commotion?
**[18:40] Romy**
This is another facet of
the miracle that is alchemy...
**[18:42] Villager H**
It's that alchemy thing that Ryza
and the other kids are getting into.
**[18:48] Villager H**
I wonder if they can
solve our fishing problem.
**[18:51] Villager G**
Is alchemy that powerful?
**[18:54] Villager H**
Yeah. I heard...
**[18:59] Samuel**
Hmph. Brats.
**[19:04] Mio**
Samuel, are you drunk at this hour again?
**[19:08] Samuel**
Ugh, Mio.
**[19:11] Samuel**
So many annoying encounters
so early in the morning.
**[19:16] Mio**
Is it that upsetting for you
that Lent is getting praise?
**[19:21] Samuel**
Speak for yourself. You
don't look too happy either.
**[19:35] Ryza**
Agatha, your ornament is fixed.
**[19:39] Agatha**
Already? That was fast.
**[19:42] Ryza**
Yeah, but I did a thorough job.
**[19:45] Ryza**
Here you go.
**[19:47] Agatha**
Yes.
**[19:52] Agatha**
Unbelievable. It's completely fixed.
**[19:57] Agatha**
Thank you, Ryza.
**[19:59] Ryza**
Alchemy is pretty cool, huh?
**[20:03] Ryza**
By the way, is that a gift
from someone special?
**[20:07] Agatha**
It's not like that.
It was indeed a gift, though.
**[20:12] Ryza**
Oh. Well, you're always function over form,
**[20:16] Ryza**
so I thought that pretty ornament
had to be something special.
**[20:21] Agatha**
This is used like this.
**[20:25] Ryza**
Wow!
**[20:28] Ryza**
What is it?
**[20:30] Agatha**
It's proof that I'm an esquire.
**[20:33] Ryza**
Esquire?
**[20:34] Agatha**
A knight that hasn't been officially appointed.
**[20:38] Agatha**
I received this in the royal capital.
**[20:40] Ryza**
You've been to Ashra-am Baird before?!
**[20:45] Ryza**
And you used to be a knight?!
**[20:47] Agatha**
An esquire.
**[20:49] Agatha**
Well, when I left the island,
I wanted to become a full knight.
**[20:53] Ryza**
You've left the island before too?
**[20:56] Ryza**
Did you fail the test to become a knight?
**[20:58] Agatha**
No, I did pass the test.
**[21:00] Ryza**
Wow, awesome!
**[21:02] Ryza**
But wait, why are you
a guardian on the island then?
**[21:06] Agatha**
After passing the test, I realized
how the people there were all about
**[21:10] Agatha**
bloodlines, status, promotions, factions,
and bothersome things like that.
**[21:16] Agatha**
As I listened to them,
the city felt so cramped.
**[21:20] Agatha**
I started to miss the island, so I came back.
**[21:24] Ryza**
Hmm. I think the royal capital
would be better than this tiny island.
**[21:30] Ryza**
Everyone here is so stubborn, and
Mr. Moritz is so self-important.
**[21:35] Agatha**
Now that you've gotten closer
to everyone through alchemy,
**[21:39] Agatha**
has your opinion changed from
back when you were a brat?
**[21:41] Ryza**
Ugh... Well, you're right,
they're not as bad as I thought.
**[21:47] Agatha**
Mr. Moritz does actually
take his work seriously.
**[21:51] Ryza**
Huh?
**[21:54] Agatha**
You still have much to learn,
like how to judge people.
**[21:59] Ryza**
