    Ms. Selma...
[00:10] ---
    We're hungry!
[00:12] ---
    Yes, yes. It's ready now.
[00:15] ---
    Yay!
[00:17] ---
    What are we eating today?
[00:18] ---
    Today is...
[00:20] ---
    Great work today as always, everyone!
[00:24] ---
    Li Ling, are you slacking off?
[00:26] ---
    No I'm not!
[00:28] ---
    It's time. You can close the front door now.
[00:33] ---
    Yes, sister.

    "Episode 12"
    "The Beginning of a New Era, with the Slimes"
[01:01] ---
    They're not coming back.
[01:03] ---
    No...
[01:04] ---
    Mr. Ryoma...
[01:05] ---
    Yes?
[01:07] ---
    I guess we're going to
    go our separate ways soon.
[01:10] ---
    Wh-What in the world
    am I supposed to say to that?
[01:14] ---
    I'm so unaccustomed to
    these types of situations...
[01:17] ---
    Um... Uh...
[01:21] ---
    I remember reading a novel
    that had a similar situation.
[01:24] ---
    What did the main character say then...?
[01:27] ---
    Uhh... Uhh...
[01:30] ---
    Right! "It's not like we're never
    going to see each other again"!
[01:35] ---
    U-Um, it's not like, uh...
[01:36] ---
    It's not like you're never going to
    see each other again, Elia.
[01:39] ---
    She beat me to it!
[01:41] ---
    Right, Ryoma?
[01:43] ---
    Yes! Exactly!
[01:45] ---
    I suppose so... Yes!
    We will see each other again!
[01:51] ---
    Mr. Ryoma, please write to me. I will for sure!
[01:56] ---
    Of course I will!
[02:00] ---
    You idiot!
[02:01] ---
    Wh-What?!
[02:03] ---
    Be a man! Go for a hug, at the very least!
[02:06] ---
    What are you talking about, Mr. Hughes?!
[02:08] ---
    You're the lady's guard!
[02:10] ---
    You're supposed to be the one
    stopping that type of thing!
[02:14] ---
    I always support what I enjoy watching!
[02:16] ---
    What...
[02:17] ---
    There's no need to be so serious,
    he's just an 11-year-old child.
[02:26] ---
    Why does it seem like Mr. Reinhart
    is the only one who is really angry...?
[02:30] ---
    Ryoma!
[02:33] ---
    Come on! Be a man, go for it, like this!
[02:37] ---
    The longer you wait,
    the more embarrassing it'll get!
[02:39] ---
    Right?
[02:45] ---
    You totally asked for that.
[02:47] ---
    So insensitive.
[02:49] ---
    As always.
[02:50] ---
    Please don't tease.
    The lady must be very uncomfortable...
[02:55] ---
    What kind of reaction is that?!
[03:01] ---
    So scary!
[03:08] ---
    They're back!
[03:13] ---
    The nightmare limour bird...
[03:15] ---
    Is it cautious of me?
[03:18] ---
    Mr. Reinhart.
[03:20] ---
    I'll step away for a little.
[03:21] ---
    Why?
[03:22] ---
    That previous interaction might have made
    the nightmare limour bird cautious of me.
[03:29] ---
    If I stay, I might interfere.
[03:31] ---
    I don't care!
[03:34] ---
    I'll never treat your presence
    near me as an excuse for my failure.
[03:41] ---
    Please stay there,
    and watch me tame those birds.
[03:46] ---
    Your presence gives me courage.
[03:49] ---
    I understand. Good luck.
[03:53] ---
    Right!
[05:43] ---
    My lady, the contract! The taming contract!
[05:46] ---
    Oh, right!
[06:01] ---
    I did it!
[06:03] ---
    You did it!
[06:04] ---
    You did great!
[06:05] ---
    Well done, Elia!
[06:07] ---
    Score!
[06:09] ---
    She got nine birds at once?!
[06:11] ---
    Congratulations!
[06:13] ---
    You did it!
[06:14] ---
    It is truly wonderful!
[06:16] ---
    You did it, my lady!
[06:18] ---
    Thank you very much! So many pretty birds!
[06:24] ---
    Right... Now it's my turn!
[06:28] ---
    You're going to try, too!
[06:30] ---
    I'm not as good as you, but I'll see
    if I can get a share of your luck.
[06:36] ---
    It's similar to a violin, but I've never
    seen that instrument before.
[06:40] ---
    Good luck, Ryoma.
[06:42] ---
    What will his performance sound like?
    I'm excited to hear it!
[06:45] ---
    Good luck!
[06:47] ---
    Yes!
[07:28] ---
    I've never heard that tune before.
[07:30] ---
    The scale he's playing in is quite rare.
[07:32] ---
    It's very comforting for some reason.
[07:37] ---
    Why are you crying?
[07:38] ---
    I have no idea...
[07:55] ---
    What?!
[07:56] ---
    So many?!
[08:02] ---
    You...
[08:04] ---
    I thought you were cautious of me.
[08:09] ---
    Mr. Ryoma! The contract! The contract!
[08:11] ---
    Oh, right!
[08:21] ---
    Contract... complete...
[08:27] ---
    Hey, you...
[08:35] ---
    Congratulations, Mr. Ryoma!
[08:38] ---
    Great!
[08:40] ---
    Impressive.
[08:42] ---
    Seriously awesome!
[08:44] ---
    Good job!
[08:46] ---
    That was a great experience.
[08:49] ---
    Taming a limour bird, huh?
[08:53] ---
    I wish we could share in his luck.
[08:55] ---
    I'm glad you both succeeded, Elia, Ryoma.
[08:58] ---
    Congratulations, Mr. Ryoma!
[09:01] ---
    Taming a limour bird is very difficult.
[09:04] ---
    Taming multiple at once,
    that's incredibly impressive, both of you!
[09:10] ---
    My lady.
[09:11] ---
    Yes?
[09:13] ---
    Could you perform
    a monster appraisal on this bird?
[09:16] ---
    Yes!
[09:22] ---
    What?
[09:23] ---
    What's wrong?
[09:25] ---
    This one! This one is an advanced species, too!
[09:28] ---
    What?!
[09:29] ---
    Its color is different from mine.
[09:32] ---
    Oh, it's not a nightmare,
    it's a "phantom limour bird," apparently.
[09:37] ---
    It can cast light magic, not dark magic!
[09:41] ---
    There's a species like that?!
[09:43] ---
    Light magic...
[09:45] ---
    Incredible...
[09:46] ---
    The phantom is even more rare
    than the nightmare.
[09:51] ---
    I never thought I'd be able to see
    both at once during my lifetime.
[10:02] ---
    He did mention that he isn't compatible
    with bird-type monsters,
[10:06] ---
    but I didn't think he would get
    a warning just by getting close...
[10:10] ---
    A new mode of transportation!
[10:12] ---
    A little too conspicuous, though...
[10:16] ---
    Yes, please take me to Mr. Ryoma!
[10:23] ---
    That night, a huge banquet was held.
[10:29] ---
    It was both a celebration of the lady
    successfully taming the limour birds,
[10:33] ---
    and a farewell party to me.
[10:56] ---
    Yes, my travels with
    the lady and her family are...
[11:02] ---
    ...almost...
[11:13] ---
    The party is still going strong.
[11:15] ---
    I wonder if they're going to
    keep going all night.
[11:18] ---
    I hope nobody gets a hangover.
[11:21] ---
    Yes, since you're leaving tomorrow morning.
[11:24] ---
    Yes...
[11:38] ---
    Mr. Ryoma, you'll be living
    near the mines from tomorrow, right?
[11:45] ---
    Yes. If I'm going to patrol there frequently,
    I might as well live there.
[11:49] ---
    I can also train magic there
    without bothering anyone.
[11:53] ---
    I'll build some rooms over time.
[11:57] ---
    I see...
[12:03] ---
    My lady, you're going to enter
    the school dormitories, right?
[12:13] ---
    Children of nobles are supposed to go to
    the school in the capital from age 12.
[12:20] ---
    There's no law or anything...
[12:23] ---
    But it just looks bad unless
    there is a special reason.
[12:29] ---
    I see.
[12:31] ---
    Also...
[12:33] ---
    Also?
[12:38] ---
    I don't have anyone
    close enough to call a friend.
[12:45] ---
    Most people are afraid of either
    my status or my magical power.
[12:52] ---
    Status aside...
[12:55] ---
    You do indeed hold a huge
    amount of magical power,
[13:00] ---
    but is that really enough to
    scare people away like that?
[13:05] ---
    I made a mistake a while ago.
[13:10] ---
    When I was five years old,
[13:12] ---
    an older boy visited my house
    and offered to teach me magic.
[13:20] ---
    I couldn't control the magic well,
    and ended up freezing the boy.
[13:28] ---
    Of course, we unfroze him immediately.
[13:33] ---
    He was fine, and his family forgave us, but...
[13:37] ---
    But?
[13:39] ---
    It seems like that boy said that I did it
    on purpose, or I attack those who cross me.
[13:53] ---
    Exaggerated rumors spread
    amongst the nobles,
[13:59] ---
    which scared people off.
[14:03] ---
    That's... quite terrible.
[14:06] ---
    But it's true that I made a mistake.
[14:11] ---
    I can't deny that, but... um...
[14:17] ---
    Mr. Ryoma, are you...
[14:20] ---
    ...um...
[14:24] ---
    ...all right?
[14:29] ---
    I mean, hearing that,
    are you afraid of me, or...
[14:34] ---
    Oh, of course I'm fine.
[14:37] ---
    It is a fact that I lost control of
    my magic and hurt someone.
[14:45] ---
    I wouldn't say you have no blame at all.
[14:49] ---
    But that type of thing is bound to happen
    once or twice to anyone.
[14:57] ---
    Mr. Ryoma?
[15:00] ---
    I mean, um, please rest assured.
[15:03] ---
    No matter what happens,
    I will never be afraid of you, my lady!
[15:08] ---
    Thank you.
[15:09] ---
    On the other hand, do you... think I'm...
[15:14] ---
    Please don't worry.
[15:17] ---
    I won't ever be afraid of
    you either, no matter what.
[15:26] ---
    I almost forgot, I wanted you to take something.
[15:30] ---
    Hmm?
[15:34] ---
    What is this?
[15:36] ---
    Please open it.
[15:43] ---
    A ruby...?
[15:46] ---
    This is a necklace I received
    from my mother on my 10th birthday.
[15:52] ---
    Magic power...?
[15:53] ---
    You noticed! Impressive as always.
[15:57] ---
    The ruby is a magic stone.
[15:58] ---
    Doesn't that make this
    a very rare and expensive item?
[16:04] ---
    Indeed it does.
[16:05] ---
    Wait, I can't take this then! It's too precious!
[16:09] ---
    I want you to take it.
[16:13] ---
    But no, it's too precious!
[16:16] ---
    I'm not giving it to you.
    I want you to hold on to it.
[16:21] ---
    Hold on?
[16:23] ---
    It's a good luck charm!
[16:25] ---
    Exchanging precious items
    with a friend before parting ways
[16:30] ---
    will help you see them again.
    It's an old saying.
[16:39] ---
    This must be very precious to you. Are you sure?
[16:45] ---
    If I wasn't, I wouldn't have brought it up.
[16:49] ---
    I understand. I will take good care of this.
[16:53] ---
    Yes!
[16:54] ---
    So does that mean I should
    hand her something, too...?
[17:01] ---
    What's precious to me...?
[17:04] ---
    Money? Furs? No...
[17:09] ---
    Mr. Ryoma?
[17:15] ---
    Please take these, my lady.
    These are precious to me.
[17:20] ---
    I also think these two
    would be very helpful to you.
[17:26] ---
    I failed somehow!
[17:28] ---
    Um, I'm sorry, I'm just not very used to this...
[17:32] ---
    No, I'm sorry. I just thought it was
    very much in character for you.
[17:41] ---
    Thank you for letting me
    take your precious familiars.
[17:44] ---
    I will take good care of them.
[17:46] ---
    Thank you.
[17:52] ---
    And thus, the final night with
    the lady and the others passed...
[18:00] ---
    ...and morning came.
[18:05] ---
    Ryoma, when you have some
    free time, come visit our town.
[18:10] ---
    I'm sure you can travel super quick.
[18:11] ---
    Yes, I will visit you for sure.
[18:14] ---
    Good luck, my boy.
[18:17] ---
    Stay sharp, Ryoma.
[18:19] ---
    I very much enjoyed the time
    I spent with you, Mr. Ryoma.
[18:23] ---
    I wish you success in your future endeavors.
[18:27] ---
    Thank you. Mr. Hughes, Mr. Zeph,
[18:31] ---
    Ms. Jill, Ms. Araune, and Ms. Lillian.
[18:35] ---
    Please be well.
[18:36] ---
    Yeah. Hey, they're waiting.
[18:44] ---
    Stay safe. But I guess given
    who you are, you should be fine.
[18:49] ---
    Yes. You, too, Mr. Camil.
[18:51] ---
    Yeah.
[18:52] ---
    Remember to rest occasionally.
[18:55] ---
    Please let us know right away
    if you need anything at all.
[18:59] ---
    Don't push yourself too hard.
[19:02] ---
    And like we promised,
    you have to write us letters.
[19:07] ---
    Try to take care of yourself.
    And don't hesitate to rely on us.
[19:12] ---
    Sir Reinhart, Madam Elise,
    Sir Reinbach, Mr. Sebas,
[19:18] ---
    thank you so much for everything.
[19:21] ---
    And... my lady.
[19:31] ---
    Um, Mr. Ryoma.
[19:33] ---
    Yes, what is it, my lady?
[19:36] ---
    That.
[19:38] ---
    "That"?
[19:40] ---
    I've been wondering for a while,
[19:44] ---
    but is it correct to assume we are friends?
[19:48] ---
    Yes.
[19:50] ---
    Then please, don't call me "my lady"
    as if we're strangers.
[19:55] ---
    Please call me "Elia."
[19:58] ---
    That's what my family and those close to me do.
[20:02] ---
    I see... Yes.
[20:06] ---
    Um... Elia.
[20:09] ---
    Yes! Mr. Ryoma!
[20:11] ---
    No matter whatever happens at school,
    I won't let it get me down.
[20:16] ---
    I'll study hard and improve my magic
    by the time we meet again!
[20:22] ---
    Yes, and the same for me, too!
[20:25] ---
    Also, please don't forget our promise
    to meet again in three years!
[20:29] ---
    Of course, I won't forget.
[20:31] ---
    If you get too caught up in work and forget,
[20:34] ---
    I will have to remind you by giving you
    a taste of my magic training.
[20:39] ---
    Th-That I would like to avoid...
[20:43] ---
    I heard that my mother did that in the past
[20:47] ---
    to remind my father of a promise he forgot.
[20:50] ---
    I-I see...
[20:52] ---
    I'm glad Mr. Reinhart survived that...
[20:56] ---
    I won't say goodbye.
[21:00] ---
    Instead, Mr. Ryoma, I'll see you again.
[21:02] ---
    Yes, Elia. I'll see you again.
[21:23] ---
    See you!
[21:28] ---
    See you... again.
[21:32] ---
    Right... Let's go! No time to waste!
[21:47] ---
    Mr. Ryoma... I will see you again.
[22:28] ---
    They're really going to miss each other.
[22:33] ---
    It's only natural.
[22:35] ---
    They were almost family,
    and now they're separate.
[22:39] ---
    Sometimes you meet people, sometimes you
    part ways. Then you meet more people.
[22:44] ---
    Ryoma will be fine.
[22:47] ---
    I'm sure he'll meet many more
    new friends from now on.
[22:51] ---
    Yes, I'm sure.
[22:55] ---
    May Ryoma's future be full of good fortune.
[22:57] ---
    Good fortune!
[22:59] ---
    Live your life to the fullest.
[23:02] ---
    We will continue to watch over you.
[23:08] ---
    First I'll stop by Bamboo Forest,
[23:10] ---
    then off to the mines.
[23:12] ---
    I have to build a place to sleep!
[23:16] ---
    Elia said she'll work hard.
[23:19] ---
    I have to work hard, too.
[23:22] ---
    In order to make my life
    a bit different from yesterday.
