[00:48] ---
    You did well to make it this far.
[00:50] ---
    Jess...
[00:51] ---
    Please come in.
[00:53] ---
    Along with that intelligent pig.
[01:17] ---
    The pain...
[01:18] ---
    is gone?
[01:21] ---
    Now then...
[01:22] ---
    this way, please.
[01:38] ---
    Please cleanse yourselves
    and get some rest.
[01:41] ---
    The bathroom is in the back.
[01:42] ---
    A change of clothes
    has been left for you there.
[01:44] ---
    I will come by
    to pick you up when you awaken.
[01:48] ---
    Thank you very much.
[01:53] ---
    Excuse me!
[01:57] ---
    You're worried
    about that young hunter, aren't you?
[02:02] ---
    He's safe.
[02:03] ---
    He's already left the Needle Woods.
[02:06] ---
    Is that right?
[02:13] ---
    That was exhausting, wasn't it?
[02:15] ---
    Yeah, I'm wiped out!
[02:17] ---
    Why don't I give you a bath
    and then we'll go to bed?
[02:19] ---
    Please come when I call you.
[02:21] ---
    Yeah.
[02:28] ---
    Huuuh?
[04:05] ---
    Mister Pig? Please come in!
[04:08] ---
    Uh, right!
[04:36] ---
    My bad! I saw you
    for just a split second!
[04:40] ---
    That's all right.
[04:41] ---
    You're the one who told me to stash my nudity
    for a rainy day, Mister Pig, remember?
[04:46] ---
    Now open your eyes
    and take a good look, please.
[05:00] ---
    You're beautiful.
[05:02] ---
    I'm going to bathe you properly, okay?
[05:06] ---
    So, you mustn't look away
    while that's going on.
[05:20] ---
    You have to really look at me.
[05:22] ---
    This is the utmost thanks
    I could think of to offer you.
[05:25] ---
    Please accept it.
[05:27] ---
    I see!
[05:29] ---
    Then, I'm going to have to accept it, right?
[05:33] ---
    That smile is the ultimate reward.
[05:37] ---
    It's the smile you gave me, Mister Pig!
[05:41] ---
    It's very lonely being a servant.
[05:45] ---
    I would only ever smile
    for someone else's benefit.
[05:49] ---
    It's not easy to smile spontaneously.
[05:52] ---
    But that was who I was
    before I ever met you, Mister Pig.
[05:56] ---
    Because you made me smile so often.
[06:00] ---
    Well, that's good to know!
[06:03] ---
    Like when you showed off
    that dance to Mister Kilins!
[06:07] ---
    I came this close to laughing out loud...
[06:09] ---
    so I panicked and held my breath!
[06:12] ---
    Please forget about that.
    That wasn't my finest hour.
[06:22] ---
    I've never slept
    in such a fluffy bed before!
[06:25] ---
    Neither have I.
[06:26] ---
    Well, I'm a pig, so it's no wonder.
[06:33] ---
    So warm.
[06:35] ---
    It's so reassuring.
[06:45] ---
    Of course I'm looking forward
    to becoming a human again.
[06:48] ---
    But is it really possible?
[06:50] ---
    Not to mention,
    what's the king going to do to us?
[06:55] ---
    Mister Pig...
[07:00] ---
    So, you're awake?
[07:02] ---
    I...
[07:04] ---
    Huh?
[07:05] ---
    No matter...
[07:07] ---
    what happens tomorrow...
[07:09] ---
    I feel blessed that I got to come
    on this journey with you.
[07:14] ---
    Jess...
[07:16] ---
    Mister Pig...
[07:22] ---
    Thank you.
[07:32] ---
    Good morning!
[07:37] ---
    Is it about noon?
[07:40] ---
    P-Please come in!
[07:45] ---
    Once you've changed your clothes,
    I'll take you upstairs.
[08:08] ---
    Uh, excuse me.
[08:12] ---
    Yes?
[08:12] ---
    What is it?
[08:14] ---
    You seem to be able
    to hear my inner thoughts.
[08:18] ---
    And there's something about you that...
[08:21] ---
    Are you a Yethma?
[08:48] ---
    The king is waiting for you in there.
[09:16] ---
    That's... this country's...
[09:19] ---
    Mesteria's... great king?
[09:28] ---
    Sit down.
[09:30] ---
    You, too, Wyss.
[09:53] ---
    Have something to eat.
    You must be hungry.
[09:56] ---
    Thank you very much.
[09:59] ---
    Since he's a king, I thought
    he'd be lording it over us on his throne.
[10:05] ---
    If it'll make you happy, I can certainly
    lord it over you on my throne...
[10:09] ---
    but isn't it easier to talk this way?
[10:11] ---
    He read my mind!
[10:13] ---
    Please forgive me!
[10:14] ---
    That was so rude!
[10:16] ---
    Don't give it another thought.
[10:18] ---
    After all, not many people know
    that mages can read minds.
[10:24] ---
    Are you all mages?
[10:27] ---
    Indeed we are.
[10:28] ---
    I am both a mage
    and the king of this country.
[10:31] ---
    My name is Eavis.
[10:33] ---
    That's my grandson, Shravis, over there.
[10:37] ---
    And that's his mother, Wyss.
[10:41] ---
    Now then...
[10:42] ---
    I'm told that there's something
    you'd like to ask me, Jess.
[10:45] ---
    Go ahead and tell me what it is.
[10:47] ---
    Yes!
[10:49] ---
    Um...
[10:51] ---
    You see...
[10:53] ---
    I'd like you to turn Mister Pig
    back into a human.
[11:01] ---
    Fine.
[11:03] ---
    But there is one condition.
[11:07] ---
    No matter what method is used to turn
    that young man from a pig back into a human,
[11:11] ---
    you're to watch until the end.
[11:15] ---
    All right.
[11:16] ---
    Very well.
[11:17] ---
    I'm going to hold you
    to your promise.
[11:21] ---
    Is this really okay?
[11:23] ---
    I'm not so sure about this.
[11:27] ---
    You will turn him back, then?
[11:31] ---
    I could do it right this minute, but...
[11:34] ---
    let's see.
[11:36] ---
    I'll make sure it's done by sunset.
[11:39] ---
    Will you be using magic
    to turn him back?
[11:41] ---
    No, not with magic.
[11:52] ---
    Then, how are you going to do it?
[11:56] ---
    It's quite simple.
[11:57] ---
    I'll just have to kill that pig.
[12:04] ---
    Kill... him?
[12:06] ---
    By killing that pig, that young man's consciousness
    will return to its rightful body,
[12:10] ---
    which is asleep now
    in the world he came from.
[12:15] ---
    The world... he came from...
[12:18] ---
    While that young man's consciousness
    was floating between the two worlds,
[12:23] ---
    it was drawn by powerful magic...
[12:25] ---
    and took up residence
    inside a pig in this world.
[12:31] ---
    Why that happened is something
    you ought to tell him yourself, Jess.
[12:42] ---
    Then...
[12:43] ---
    if Mister Pig goes back to being human...
[12:46] ---
    It means that he'll no longer
    exist in this world.
[12:58] ---
    Mister Pig and I...
[13:00] ---
    can't be together.
[13:02] ---
    That's the only way to return
    that young man to human form.
[13:08] ---
    If his consciousness remains here,
[13:11] ---
    the young man's body will eventually die...
[13:14] ---
    and he'll never be able
    to return to his own world.
[13:18] ---
    That might make you sad,
    but I do have a proposal.
[13:22] ---
    Let me welcome you into the royal family.
[13:25] ---
    We've been waiting for a mage like you.
[13:31] ---
    Mage...
[13:33] ---
    Just as I thought.
[13:34] ---
    Yethmas are really...
[13:36] ---
    mages.
[13:40] ---
    Indeed.
[13:42] ---
    Jess...
[13:42] ---
    You seem to be
    an extremely talented mage.
[13:46] ---
    Of course, at this time...
[13:49] ---
    you're still what's commonly
    known as a "Yethma."
[14:11] ---
    And now, you're no longer a Yethma, Jess.
[14:17] ---
    If I may be so presumptuous...
[14:18] ---
    I have a favor to ask of you.
[14:20] ---
    I truly regret that this has happened
    to you. Ask me anything.
[14:24] ---
    I'm grateful to you for telling us
    how I can be turned back into a human.
[14:28] ---
    I am resigned to do whatever you decide.
[14:35] ---
    But there's one thing
    that I still find unacceptable.
[14:38] ---
    And I'd like you to explain it
    to Jess and me if you're so inclined.
[14:44] ---
    Why it is that in this country,
    there has to be a social class called "Yethma."
[14:53] ---
    Not many people know
    what I'm about to tell you.
[14:59] ---
    However, having peered
    inside your mind...
[15:02] ---
    I can see that you've more or less
    arrived at the correct answer.
[15:06] ---
    Very well, then.
[15:07] ---
    As a parting gift to you
    and as a show of good faith toward Jess,
[15:12] ---
    let me reveal the truth to you.
[15:14] ---
    I appreciate that.
[15:24] ---
    Now then, young man...
[15:26] ---
    where do you want me to start?
[15:31] ---
    All I know about the Yethma race...
[15:34] ---
    is what I've gathered
    over the last few days.
[15:37] ---
    The silver collars.
[15:39] ---
    Their work as servants.
[15:41] ---
    That they can read minds
    and work miracles with black ristae.
[15:46] ---
    That there are only females.
[15:47] ---
    That they're sold at age eight...
[15:48] ---
    and risk their lives traveling
    to the royal capital at 16.
[15:51] ---
    And that they're not allowed
    to ride in vehicles.
[15:54] ---
    That they're not to be sexually assaulted,
    according to your laws.
[15:59] ---
    You seem to have a clear grasp
    on the main points.
[16:02] ---
    There's a reason
    behind all of these things.
[16:05] ---
    They mean something to you all.
[16:07] ---
    Am I right?
[16:08] ---
    It would be misleading
    to say "to us all,"
[16:11] ---
    but I won't deny
    that they do mean something.
[16:13] ---
    Isn't the Yethma system a way
    to ensure the survival of the mage race?
[16:25] ---
    What do you know about the mages?
[16:29] ---
    That they possess formidable powers.
[16:31] ---
    That they've repeatedly gone to war
    vying for supremacy...
[16:33] ---
    and that they're the ones
    who brought on the dark ages.
[16:36] ---
    Then, what do you think caused
    the mages to decline to this point?
[16:41] ---
    Because you wielded too much power
    and were too aggressive.
[16:45] ---
    That's more or less my own understanding.
[16:48] ---
    Magic power that was an ill fit
    for physical bodies and excessive egocentrism.
[16:53] ---
    Because of those two factors, the mages began
    to kill each other off and brought on the dark ages.
[16:58] ---
    That's why my great ancestor, Lady Vatis, placed
    a silver collar on every surviving mage but herself...
[17:05] ---
    and sealed off
    that magic power and egocentrism.
[17:09] ---
    As a result, they were left with only
    some of their powers and neutralized.
[17:13] ---
    And that brought the dark ages to an end.
[17:17] ---
    Then, how did the collared mages
    come to be treated as slaves?
[17:22] ---
    It turned out to be far more effective
    than first imagined.
[17:25] ---
    With their egos sealed by those collars,
    the Yethmas stopped rebelling at all...
[17:32] ---
    even if they were treated as slaves
    or discriminated against.
[17:37] ---
    But how does that...
[17:39] ---
    give anyone the right
    to treat them so unjustly?
[17:44] ---
    So long as humans exist,
    there will always be some kind of toll.
[17:49] ---
    Someone or other must bear
    the brunt of injustice.
[17:51] ---
    Society has started to gain stability by having
    the slave race called Yethmas take on that burden.
[17:57] ---
    But don't you think
    the current system's taking it too far?
[18:04] ---
    Why are Yethmas who've turned 16 forced to head
    to the royal capital at the risk of their lives?
[18:10] ---
    In order to keep their numbers down.
[18:14] ---
    Only the most competent Yethmas who can make it
    to the royal capital are allowed to survive.
[18:19] ---
    And then we have them
    bear children as mothers...
[18:21] ---
    or else welcome them
    into our royal bloodline.
[18:26] ---
    Why are there only female Yethmas?
[18:29] ---
    As one never knows when males might produce
    children, we dispose of them before they're born...
[18:33] ---
    and when females are born,
    we control them with those collars.
[18:35] ---
    To prevent them from bearing children
    capable of magic without our knowledge.
[18:43] ---
    I have one final question.
[18:45] ---
    This society exists thanks to its ability
    to supply Yethmas and ristae.
[18:49] ---
    You don't really think
    it's going to last forever, do you?
[18:58] ---
    Of course not.
[19:00] ---
    All societies eventually collapse.
[19:04] ---
    That said, I firmly believe that this is
    a far more ethical era than the dark ages.
[19:10] ---
    At the very least, I have no intention
    of changing the status quo during my reign.
[19:16] ---
    And should anyone try to change it...
[19:20] ---
    I'll be sure to resist
    with all of my might.
[19:28] ---
    Time to bring this to an end.
[19:32] ---
    Come to the Golden Cathedral
    a half hour before sunset.
[19:36] ---
    You may do as you please until then.
[19:45] ---
    Mister Pig...
[19:47] ---
    What's up?
[19:48] ---
    I'd like to see Mesteria
    from somewhere up high.
[19:52] ---
    Keep Rewards
    for When They Really Count
[20:06] ---
    You don't have that collar on anymore.
[20:08] ---
    You can take that off now.
[20:11] ---
    I want to keep this scarf on.
[20:14] ---
    Because you chose it for me, Mister Pig.
[20:20] ---
    I see.
[20:24] ---
    Hey, Jess...
[20:27] ---
    Is that Kiltyrie over there?
[20:28] ---
    I think so, yes!
[20:30] ---
    Our journey was over before we knew it,
    but we walked a pretty long way, huh?
[20:34] ---
    Yes!
[20:35] ---
    I was able to come this far
    thanks to you, Mister Pig!
[20:39] ---
    Hey, all I did was give you
    some simple advice.
[20:42] ---
    That's not true!
[20:44] ---
    Because if it hadn't been for you,
    I would've been killed near the mansion!
[20:49] ---
    If it hadn't been for me,
    you wouldn't have had to go buy another rista.
[20:53] ---
    So, there wouldn't have been
    any reason to kill you.
[20:57] ---
    If it hadn't been for you, Mister Pig...
[20:59] ---
    I would've declined
    to have Mister Naut join us.
[21:02] ---
    And then, our journey
    would've been a lot more dangerous!
[21:07] ---
    Not only that, but it was you who realized
    they were using Miss Blaise to trap us!
[21:11] ---
    Also...
[21:13] ---
    I only made it inside the royal capital because
    you realized what the heckripons really were!
[21:19] ---
    Please acknowledge it!
[21:20] ---
    I... I...
[21:23] ---
    I would've died for sure
    if it hadn't been for you, Mister Pig!
[21:27] ---
    You're right.
[21:29] ---
    I guess I did make
    a good travel companion.
[21:32] ---
    But I'm the one
    who should be thanking you.
[21:35] ---
    You're the one who saved me
    and tried to turn me back into a human.
[21:40] ---
    That's not really what happened.
[21:43] ---
    What do you mean?
[21:45] ---
    I'm sure you've wondered
    about it, haven't you?
[21:48] ---
    The fact that I'd bought a black rista
    before I met you.
[21:53] ---
    Um...
[21:54] ---
    I'd like one black rista
    for my personal use.
[21:57] ---
    I need another one now.
[22:00] ---
    The reason why I kept that a secret...
[22:07] ---
    I used the rista I'd bought
    to ask for a selfish wish to be granted.
[22:14] ---
    Wish?
[22:15] ---
    That night...
[22:17] ---
    I prayed...
[22:22] ---
    "I'm afraid to set off on my journey
    to the royal capital alone."
[22:25] ---
    "Please let me meet
    someone who can help me."
