Regarding
**[00:24] Dahlia; previous life; narration**
The texture of the desk.
**[00:26] Dahlia; previous life; narration**
Such a trivial thing was
the last thing I saw.
**[00:32] Dahlia; previous life; narration**
I wasn't able to do a single
thing I'd wanted to.
**[00:35] Dahlia; previous life; narration**
If there was such a thing
as a next life, then...

***SIGN*** Episode 1: Dahlia's Dream
**[02:28] young Dahlia**
Dad?
**[02:34] Carlo**
You're up early, Dahlia.
**[02:38] young Dahlia**
What are you doing?
**[02:40] Carlo**
I'm working.
**[02:42] young Dahlia**
Working?
**[02:43] Carlo**
Come up here.
**[02:49] young Dahlia**
What is it?
**[02:51] Carlo**
This is a magic device.
**[02:53] young Dahlia**
A magic device?
**[02:54] Carlo**
Magic devices are tools and
objects that use magic.
**[02:59] Carlo**
In this country, everyone uses
them in their daily lives.
**[03:11] Carlo**
Magic devices make everyone's
lives a little easier.
**[03:15] Carlo**
They can cool a room, and they
can also make it warmer.
**[03:19] Carlo**
For example, using a fire magic stone
can create a light out of nowhere.
**[03:24] Carlo**
And using a water magic stone
can create a torrent of water.
**[03:28] Carlo**
With the use of a wind magic stone,
cleaning can be finished in a flash.
**[03:34] Carlo**
Combining things like magic stones in
clever ways gives you magic devices.
**[03:44] young Dahlia**
Isn't that just magic?
**[03:47] Carlo**
It's not quite the same.
**[03:49] Carlo**
There are a limited number of
people who can use magic well.
**[03:52] Carlo**
But anyone can use magic devices.
**[03:55] young Dahlia**
Even me?
**[03:56] Carlo**
That's right. Even you can use them!
**[03:59] Carlo**
Dahlia, give me your hand.
**[04:04] Carlo**
Here. That's right. Twist that bit.
**[04:18] Carlo**
Amazing, isn't it?
**[04:20] young Dahlia**
This is a magic device!
**[04:22] Carlo**
People who create these devices
are magic artificers.
**[04:25] Carlo**
That's the work I do.
**[04:27] young Dahlia**
Hey, Dad! Can I make magic devices, too?
**[04:31] Carlo**
Of course you can. As long as you study...
no, as long as you're very good.
**[04:42] young Dahlia**
I want to make them!
**[04:43] Carlo**
I see. So you're going to be a
magic artificer when you grow up?
**[04:47] young Dahlia**
I will! I'll become a magic
artificer just like you!
**[04:58] Carlo**
In that case, you have a
heap of things to learn!
**[05:01] young Dahlia**
Where should I start?
**[05:11] young Irma**
I see. Dahlia Space.
**[05:16] young Dahlia**
It's amazing, right?
**[05:19] young Irma**
It is amazing!
**[05:21] Carlo**
Oh, I didn't know you were here.
**[05:24] young Irma**
I'm sorry for coming while you're working.
**[05:27] young Dahlia**
I showed Irma my Dahlia Space!
**[05:32] Carlo**
Did you? I see.
**[05:33] Carlo**
But the thing is, I want to
focus on my work right now.
**[05:37] Carlo**
Could you go and play outside?
**[05:39] young Dahlia**
What? But I wanted to read through
the monster field guide together.
**[05:45] young Irma**
Let's go, Dahlia!
**[05:46] young Dahlia**
All right.
**[05:49] Carlo**
Be careful not to fall down!
**[05:50] Irma; Dahlia**
We will!
**[05:54] young Irma**
Dahlia, let's play over here!
**[05:57] young Dahlia**
Okay!
**[06:06] Carlo**
"Dahlia's Magic Device"?
**[06:09] Carlo**
She's getting ahead of herself.
**[06:18] Sophia**
She'll get angry if you
touch that without asking.
**[06:20] Carlo**
Miss Sophia.
**[06:22] Sophia**
"Dahlia Space." It's very important to her.
**[06:27] Carlo**
I see.
**[06:34] young Irma**
Do you really want to be a magic artificer?
**[06:37] young Dahlia**
Yeah! I'm going to be one for sure!
**[06:40] young Irma**
You seem very determined.
**[06:43] young Dahlia**
Is there a magic device you want, Irma?
**[06:47] young Irma**
A magic device I want?
**[06:49] young Irma**
Not really. I do want a refrigerator, though.
**[06:52] young Dahlia**
Not something that already exists.
Isn't there anything you want that doesn't?
**[06:57] young Irma**
When you put it that way, I don't know.
**[07:00] young Dahlia**
Then is there anything
you find inconvenient?
**[07:02] young Irma**
UInconvenient? Well... when I
grow up, I want to be a hairdresser.
**[07:08] young Dahlia**
I see.
**[07:09] young Irma**
So I use my own hair to practice...
**[07:14] young Irma**
but it's long, so drying it is a lot of work.
**[07:17] young Dahlia**
Drying hair... That's it!
**[07:21] young Irma**
Dahlia?
**[07:24] young Dahlia**
Dad! Dad!
**[07:27] Carlo**
Hey, now, what's going on, Dahlia?
**[07:30] young Dahlia**
A magical device!
**[07:32] young Dahlia**
I thought of one!
**[07:34] young Dahlia**
Irma told me she wants to be
a hairdresser when she grows up!
**[07:40] Carlo**
Really? Irma wants to become a beautician?
**[07:43] young Dahlia**
So she wants to be able
to dry her hair faster,
**[07:46] young Dahlia**
and she wishes there was a
magical device that would do that.
**[07:49] young Dahlia**
So if I use a fire magic stone
and a wind magic stone...
**[07:56] Carlo**
Interesting.
**[07:57] young Dahlia**
A warm wind would make it
easier to dry your hair, right?
**[08:01] young Dahlia**
So if I go like this and like this...
**[08:07] young Dahlia**
What do you think, Dad?
**[08:09] Carlo**
Yes, give me just a moment here.
**[08:14] Carlo**
I see. Like a warm spring breeze.
**[08:17] young Dahlia**
It's called a hair dryer!
**[08:19] Carlo**
You've already decided on a name? Impressive.
**[08:22] young Dahlia**
Dad, is it all right if I make this?
**[08:27] Carlo**
You can't yet, but one day.
**[08:30] young Dahlia**
But I want to make it now.
**[08:33] Carlo**
I do think it's a good idea,
**[08:35] Carlo**
but you need a little more
experience before you can build it.
**[08:39] young Dahlia**
Stop doing that!
**[08:52] Sophia**
Are you going out?
**[08:53] Carlo**
I'm going to stop by Orlando's briefly.
**[08:55] Carlo**
Would you look after Dahlia for me?
**[08:58] Sophia**
Of course.
**[09:07] Theodoro**
And so?
**[09:10] Carlo**
So my daughter is the most
precious in the whole world!
**[09:14] Theodoro**
And you haven't even been drinking.
**[09:17] Carlo**
Also, she may be a genius.
**[09:20] Theodoro**
Your status as a doting
father has reached its peak.
**[09:22] Theodoro**
She hasn't even started primary school,
and you've given her a workspace?
**[09:27] Theodoro**
Isn't that dangerous?
**[09:29] Carlo**
It's fine.
**[09:31] Carlo**
I've told her that she can't use
magic stones unless I'm with her.
**[09:35] Theodoro**
As a rule of thumb,
**[09:37] Theodoro**
children don't generally heed warnings
the way you think they might.
**[09:40] Theodoro**
They'll get up to things
you never even imagined.
**[09:42] Carlo**
As a man who's raised two children,
your words carry a different weight.
**[09:45] Carlo**
But she's my daughter. It won't be a problem.
**[09:48] Theodoro**
Don't start sulking if your daughter
can't become a magic artificer.
**[09:53] Carlo**
No, Dahlia will definitely
become a magic artificer.
**[09:57] Carlo**
I could see it in her eyes.
**[09:58] Theodoro**
Then perhaps one day I'll carry magic
devices made by little Dahlia in my shop.
**[10:04] Carlo**
We may be old friends, but it doesn't
mean I'll give you a discount.
**[10:07] Theodoro**
We may be old friends, but don't expect
me to buy them at a higher price.
**[10:23] Carlo**
Hello. I'm back.
**[10:25] Sophia**
My, that was fast.
**[10:28] Carlo**
Theo suddenly had some business come up.
**[10:33] Carlo**
What is Dahlia doing?
**[10:35] Sophia**
After playing in the garden, it seems
she's gone to her room to play.
**[10:40] Sophia**
I've made dinner. Please enjoy
it sooner rather than later.
**[10:43] Carlo**
Thank you.
**[10:44] Sophia**
Well, then, I'll see you tomorrow.
**[11:01] Carlo**
Dahlia? Dahlia!
**[11:38] Carlo**
Dahlia, are you all right?
**[11:40] Carlo**
Does anything hurt?
**[11:51] Carlo**
Didn't I tell you that if you're going to use
magic stones, I should be there with you?
**[11:56] young Dahlia**
I'm sorry.
**[11:58] Carlo**
It's all right.
**[12:01] Carlo**
Why did you do this?
**[12:04] young Dahlia**
I wanted to make it as a secret.
**[12:08] Carlo**
Why?
**[12:10] young Dahlia**
I wanted to surprise you.
I thought you'd praise me lots.
**[12:19] young Dahlia**
When I put magic stones in the
hair dryer, the fire just...
**[12:23] Carlo**
I see. So the mechanism works,
**[12:27] Carlo**
but as it is, the fire and
wind come out at full blast.
**[12:30] Carlo**
Oh, I haven't taught you about how to link
**[12:32] Carlo**
output calculations and
mixer circuits yet. That's why.
**[12:36] young Dahlia**
I'm sorry.
**[12:40] Carlo**
I understand how you feel.
**[12:41] Carlo**
Once you thought it up, you couldn't
stand not making it, right?
**[12:45] Carlo**
But, Dahlia, when we make magical devices,
some of the work can be dangerous.
**[12:51] Carlo**
And there are a lot of things
I haven't taught you yet.
**[12:55] Carlo**
Do you understand?
**[12:58] young Dahlia**
Yes.
**[12:59] Carlo**
But I'm still here.
**[13:01] Carlo**
So until you're skilled enough to do it alone,
let's build things together, all right?
**[13:07] young Dahlia**
Okay!
**[13:08] young Dahlia**
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
**[13:23] Carlo**
This... is not something you
can use to dry your hair.
**[13:27] Carlo**
But the build isn't bad.
**[13:29] Carlo**
If we use a magic circuit to
limit the magical energy,
**[13:32] Carlo**
it should produce a nice, warm breeze.
**[13:34] young Dahlia**
Really?
**[13:35] young Dahlia**
In that case, I want to make it blow
both a cold wind and a warm wind!
**[13:41] Carlo**
I see.
**[13:42] Carlo**
Then we can make it so that the circuit
with the fire magic stone can be switched to...
**[13:47] Carlo**
What's wrong?
**[13:50] young Dahlia**
Dad, you're amazing!
**[13:53] Carlo**
And your ideas are amazing!
**[13:55] young Dahlia**
Can we do it now?
**[13:56] Carlo**
Well, now that you've thought it up...
**[13:59] Carlo**
Let's make the barrel out
of an even better material.
**[14:01] Carlo**
Something in this range should do.
**[14:03] young Dahlia**
I want to make a weak warm
wind and a strong one.
**[14:06] young Dahlia**
Can we do that?
**[14:08] Carlo**
Of course we can!
**[14:10] Carlo**
If we adjust the output of the wind magic
stone, it shouldn't be too difficult.
**[14:53] young Dahlia**
Dad!
**[14:55] Carlo**
Yes.
**[14:59] young Dahlia**
Hurry up! Hurry up!
**[15:06] Carlo**
It's not too hot, is it?
**[15:07] young Dahlia**
It's fine! It feels nice!
**[15:09] Carlo**
Does it? I see.
**[15:11] Carlo**
Dad, the brush.
**[15:12] Carlo**
Right.
**[15:15] young Dahlia**
Ow!
**[15:16] Carlo**
Sorry! Are you all right?
**[15:18] young Dahlia**
Oh, just let me have the brush.
**[15:20] Carlo**
S-Sure. Right, then.
**[15:31] Carlo**
Is it dry?
**[15:32] young Dahlia**
Yes!
**[15:33] Carlo**
No abnormalities in the circuits.
**[15:34] Carlo**
No problems with the magic stones, either.
**[15:36] Carlo**
Which means...
**[15:41] Carlo; young Dahlia**
It's finished!
**[15:44] young Dahlia**
Cheers!
**[15:45] Carlo**
Cheers!
**[16:01] Sophia**
Good morning. You're both
up early, aren't you?
**[16:06] young Dahlia**
Miss Sophia! Miss Sophia!
We finished the hair dryer!
**[16:12] Sophia**
Miss Dahlia?
**[16:13] Carlo**
Oh, fell asleep, did she?
**[16:16] Carlo**
Well, we did stay up all night.
**[16:18] Sophia**
All night?
**[16:19] Sophia**
What is the meaning of this, Mister Carlo?
**[16:21] Carlo**
W-Well, er...
**[16:23] Sophia**
How could you make a child
this young stay up all night?
**[16:27] Carlo**
I-It's a misunderstanding!
No, it isn't, actually.
**[16:29] Carlo**
We were building a magic device
together, and before we knew it...
**[16:34] Sophia**
You ate last night's dinner
just now, didn't you?
**[16:38] Sophia**
Don't tell me that your baths also...
**[16:39] Carlo**
I'm sorry. We haven't taken them yet.
**[16:43] Sophia**
For the time being,
let's carry Miss Dahlia to her bed.
**[16:47] Carlo**
Y-Yes, you're right.
**[16:52] Carlo**
Up we go.
**[16:57] Carlo**
She's still so light.
**[17:03] Carlo**
I'm sorry, Miss Sophia.
**[17:06] Sophia**
Miss Dahlia is still a child.
**[17:09] Sophia**
If you don't act responsibly
here, then who will?
**[17:12] Carlo**
Yes, I have to act more responsibly.
**[17:15] Carlo**
I love my daughter more
than anything in the world.
**[17:17] Sophia**
Once, when I complimented
Miss Dahlia's hair,
**[17:21] Sophia**
she said that she wished it was
the same color as her father's.
**[17:25] Carlo**
She said that?
**[17:29] Sophia**
To think that she can already
create a magic device like this.
**[17:31] Sophia**
Miss Dahlia is truly impressive.
**[17:34] Carlo**
Yes. She's a ball of raw talent.
**[17:36] Carlo**
It's possible that she's
even more amazing than I am!
**[17:40] Carlo**
She won't be my little
Dahlia forever, will she?
**[17:44] Sophia**
But she'll always be your daughter,
Mister Carlo. That won't change.
**[17:48] Carlo**
That's true.
**[17:51] young Dahlia**
Dad, what kind of magic
device should we make next?
**[17:57] Carlo**
She's already thinking about
the next magic device?
**[17:59] Sophia**
Now, Mister Carlo, it's time for a scolding.
**[18:04] Sophia**
And it will be a rather long one.
**[18:07] Carlo**
R-Right.
**[18:38] Dahlia**
Oh, no. I fell asleep.
**[18:43] Dahlia**
I'd like to try making it one day,
but I guess that's still in the future.
**[18:50] Dahlia**
Dad, welcome home.
**[18:52] Carlo**
What's this? Did my daughter fall
asleep at her work station again?
**[18:56] Carlo**
You really are hopeless.
**[18:58] Dahlia**
What about you, Dad?
Did you go drinking again?
**[19:01] Carlo**
I met with an old friend.
We had a lot of fun talking, and...
**[19:05] Carlo**
Oh! Are you tackling the challenge
of the fairy crystal lantern at last?
**[19:09] Dahlia**
No, and not for a long time yet.
**[19:11] Dahlia**
I understand the construction,
**[19:13] Dahlia**
but I can't invest an object with
magical energy this uniformly yet.
**[19:16] Dahlia**
I guess I'm a long way off from
being a full-fledged artificer.
**[19:19] Carlo**
If you diligently practice conferring magic,
**[19:21] Carlo**
you'll be able to make it one day, too.
**[19:24] Dahlia**
Really?
**[19:26] Carlo**
Really. After all, you are my daughter!
**[19:32] Dahlia**
All right. Once I get better at imbuing
magic, teach me again, okay?
**[19:37] Dahlia**
Now, let's have our breakfast, Dad.
**[19:44] Carlo**
But Dahlia might get angry if I suddenly
get an apprentice who ranks above her.
**[19:51] Dahlia**
Dad!
**[19:55] Carlo**
Sorry! I'm coming!
**[20:03] Dahlia**
What is it?
**[20:04] Carlo**
Nothing. I was just thinking that you've
gotten good at chopping vegetables.
**[20:08] Carlo**
Before, I could hardly bear to watch.
**[20:11] Dahlia**
Talking about the distant past again?
**[20:14] Carlo**
Sorry.
**[20:18] Dahlia**
These days, I'm better
at cooking than you are.
**[20:21] Carlo**
I know.
**[20:22] Dahlia**
And you, Dad. You aren't young anymore,
so you shouldn't drink so much.
**[20:26] Carlo**
Yes, you're right. I'll be careful.
**[20:28] Dahlia**
Honestly...
**[20:34] Carlo**
Have you thought of any new magic devices?
**[20:37] Dahlia**
I've thought up lots of ideas, but ones
that might be detailed enough?
**[20:43] Dahlia**
Three, I think?
**[20:44] Carlo**
Outstanding! That's my daughter for you.
**[20:47] Dahlia**
Well, I am the daughter of Carlo Rossetti,
the Hot-Water Device Baron.
**[20:52] Carlo**
And you, Dahlia Rossetti, will become
**[20:55] Carlo**
a magic artificer who will leave
her name on this kingdom's history.
**[20:58] Dahlia**
I can't really imagine it.
**[21:04] Dahlia**
Hup.
**[21:07] Carlo**
You'll be home late tonight, right?
**[21:09] Dahlia**
Yeah, and I'll be having dinner
with Irma and the others.
**[21:15] Dahlia**
Well, I'm off.
**[21:17] Carlo**
Okay. Stay safe.
**[21:22] Dahlia; internal**
*A fully-fledged magic artificer, huh?*
**[21:25] Dahlia; internal**
*The path ahead is still a long one.*
**[21:27] Dahlia; internal**
*I'm still not skilled at imbuing magic.*
**[21:30] Dahlia; internal**
*Even if I have ideas, I can't give them form.*
**[21:33] Dahlia; internal**
* And I can't manipulate materials like the*
* fairy crystal I saw back then very well.*
**[21:40] Dahlia; internal**
*But I'll get there one day.*
**[21:44] Dahlia; internal**
* That shining light that Dad showed*
* me... One day, I'll create it, too.*
**[21:55] Dahlia; internal**
* I'll become a magic artificer who can*
* make people happy, like my dad.*
**[22:00] Dahlia; internal**
*That's my goal.*
**[22:02] Dahlia; internal**
* That's the dream of Dahlia*
* the magic artificer.*

**[00:12] Dahlia**
Dad, I'm home!
**[00:14] Carlo**
Welcome back.
**[00:15] Dahlia**
Today, Professor Lina showed us charmed
lanterns meant for guards on night patrol
**[00:20] Dahlia**
and the silver firefly wing scales
used to make them.
**[00:24] Dahlia**
Their color depends on the
land they come from, and...
**[00:28] Carlo**
Allow me to introduce you.
**[00:29] Carlo**
This is Tobias of the Orlando Trade Company,
your senior apprentice.
**[00:33] Dahlia**
Senior apprentice?
**[00:34] Carlo**
He's been helping me for a while now.
**[00:38] Dahlia**
He has?
**[00:40] Tobias**
I'm Tobias Orlando.
**[00:43] Dahlia**
I'm Dahlia. It's nice to
meet you, Mister Orlando.
**[00:48] Tobias**
"Tobias" is fine! I'm looking
forward to working with you.

**[02:30] Dahlia**
It wasn't raining just a bit ago.
**[02:39] Ivano**
Miss Dahlia?
**[02:40] Dahlia**
Mister Ivano!
**[02:43] Dahlia**
Thanks for always helping my father out.
**[02:45] Ivano**
Not at all.
**[02:47] Ivano**
He's the one looking out for me.
So what brings you here?
**[02:50] Dahlia**
He asked me to deliver some documents.
**[02:53] Ivano**
And now it's suddenly started raining.
**[02:59] Ivano**
Shall we wait inside for a little while?
**[03:03] Dahlia**
I think I'll take you up on that kind offer.
**[03:10] Ivano**
Here you are.
**[03:11] Dahlia**
Thank you.
**[03:13] Ivano**
Looks like it'll let up soon.
It's just a passing shower.
**[03:21] Dahlia**
That's delicious!
**[03:23] Ivano**
Knowing Mister Carlo, he'd say,
"It's nearly the season for a cold ale."
**[03:31] Dahlia**
He certainly would. He drinks far too much.
**[03:34] Ivano**
Still, he's an incredible magic artificer.
**[03:39] Ivano**
He even had a hand in these lanterns here.
**[03:44] Ivano**
Thanks to him, they're
much more convenient now.
**[03:48] Ivano**
Once, when Mister Carlo was here,
**[03:51] Ivano**
I told him what wonderful
magical devices they are.
**[03:56] Ivano**
"Magic artificers think and build and think
and build. There's never an end in sight."
**[04:04] Dahlia**
Is that your impression of my father?
**[04:07] Ivano**
Was it not good?
**[04:08] Dahlia**
I've heard him say that since I was little.
**[04:11] Dahlia**
"Make magical devices that people can
safely use to enrich their daily lives!"
**[04:17] Dahlia**
"Seek to create magical devices that
will make someone out there smile!"
**[04:20] Ivano**
Impressive! You sound just like him.
**[04:32] Dahlia**
I'm back.
**[04:36] Dahlia**
Oh?
**[04:37] Carlo**
Well, it suddenly started raining, you know?
**[04:41] Dahlia**
You could have taken shelter somewhere.
**[04:43] Carlo**
I could see that heavy
evening shower coming in.
**[04:48] Carlo**
Know what I mean?
**[04:49] Carlo**
I saw the boundary between
**[04:51] Carlo**
where it was raining and where
it wasn't raining getting closer.
**[04:55] Dahlia**
What?
**[04:56] Carlo**
So I thought if I ran, I might stay ahead of it.
**[05:00] Carlo**
Tobias and I ran as fast as we could, but...
**[05:03] Dahlia**
The rain caught up to you.
**[05:05] Carlo**
That rain sure did move fast.
**[05:09] Dahlia**
Just because you can see the rain coming
doesn't mean you can outrun it.
**[05:13] Tobias**
Thanks to the master's coats,
we didn't get too wet.
**[05:19] Dahlia**
Don't catch cold, you two.
**[05:22] Dahlia**
Oh, these are drenched!
**[05:24] Dahlia**
I'll take them to the laundry shop tomorrow.
**[05:26] Dahlia**
If these sand lizard coats aren't dried
soon, they'll start smelling rank.
**[05:32] Dahlia**
And...
**[05:37] Dahlia**
I just need to make it!
**[05:39] Dahlia**
I'll make something to keep the rain off
better than a sand lizard coat!
**[05:43] Carlo**
What?
**[05:44] Dahlia**
Yes, a fabric that's handy,
light, and can repel water...
**[05:49] Dahlia**
If I can make waterproof cloth, it's doable.
**[05:53] Dahlia**
That's it! A raincoat!
I want to make a raincoat!
**[06:01] Tobias**
Slimes?
**[06:02] Tobias**
I've never heard of slimes being
used as material for infusing magic.
**[06:07] Dahlia**
I've tested other monster materials,
but they just don't work out.
**[06:12] Dahlia**
So I thought about it,
and slimes may be magically weak,
**[06:16] Dahlia**
but they seem water-repellent, right?
**[06:19] Tobias**
But how do you plan to apply them
to cloth? They'll just run away.
**[06:25] Dahlia**
When I pierced just the core of the slime
**[06:27] Dahlia**
and ran kraken tape through the hole,
it didn't come apart.
**[06:31] Dahlia**
I'm thinking of doing that and drying them.
**[06:34] Dahlia**
I'll powder them,
then dissolve them in a liquid.
**[06:38] Dahlia**
Then, if I can affix that to fabric...
**[06:40] Dahlia**
Right?
**[06:41] Tobias**
That's a surprising approach.
**[06:44] Dahlia**
For now, I'm considering experimenting
with different varieties of slimes.
**[06:48] Dahlia**
Will you help me?
**[06:49] Tobias**
S-Sure.
**[06:54] Dahlia**
* Blue slime powder sticks to fabric,*
* but won't spread over large areas.*
**[07:02] Dahlia**
* So next, I plan to test the slime thought*
* to be the most viscous—the green slime.*
**[07:11] Lucia**
Every day, all you talk about is slimes.
**[07:13] Irma**
Are you planning to marry a slime or what?
**[07:16] Dahlia**
I'm not going to marry one.
**[07:18] Dahlia**
Still, the green slime adheres
over a large area,
**[07:22] Dahlia**
but the blue slime is more water-repellent.
**[07:26] Irma; Lucia**
Didn't we just say...
**[07:28] Dahlia**
This means the question at hand is simple!
**[07:31] Dahlia**
How far can I push the blue slime's
ability to adhere to fabric?
**[07:35] Dahlia**
To that end, next time,
I'll try a different liquid.
**[07:39] Dahlia**
What do you think? Oh, that's right!
**[07:41] Dahlia**
Will you try on this prototype for me?
**[07:45] Irma**
If you don't mind, I suppose it's fine.
**[07:48] Lucia**
But you really are obsessed with slimes.
**[07:54] Tobias**
Let's do it in shifts.
**[07:56] Dahlia**
Thank you.
**[07:58] Tobias**
What is it?
**[07:59] Dahlia**
The way you can apply magic
so evenly... It's impressive.
**[08:03] Tobias**
Please don't poke fun at me.
**[08:05] Tobias**
I'm part of a company responsible
for distributing goods,
**[08:07] Tobias**
and a magic artificer on top of that.
**[08:09] Tobias**
Some folks see me as peculiar.
**[08:17] Carlo**
Dahlia?
**[08:19] Carlo**
Oh, are you asleep?
**[08:35] Carlo**
Instead of using just one type of solvent,
you might want to try mixing them.
**[08:54] Dahlia**
It sticks to the fabric!
**[08:57] Dahlia**
What do you think?
**[08:59] Carlo**
I see. You dissolved it in a liquid
**[09:02] Carlo**
to compensate for the blue slime's lack
of viscosity, allowing it to adhere.
**[09:06] Carlo**
Yes, this is a good magical device.
**[09:09] Tobias**
Dahlia, there are still more
tests we need to do.
**[09:13] Tobias**
We don't know how evenly it
applied or how long it'll last.
**[09:17] Dahlia**
You're right.
**[09:19] Dahlia**
I'm curious as to whether it will retain
its properties under harsh conditions.
**[09:23] Tobias**
Also, the slime may be more likely to
come off at seams and attachment points.
**[09:30] Dahlia**
I've already thought of a
plan to counteract that.
**[09:33] Tobias**
What kind of plan?
**[09:35] Dahlia**
If we treat the attachment points with
a different powder in advance...
**[09:41] staff**
And it has now been officially recorded
as an invention of Dahlia Rossetti.
**[09:46] staff**
Perfectly waterproof fabric
and raincoats made of said fabric...
**[09:50] staff**
These are amazing magical devices!
**[09:52] staff**
I imagine there will be a flood of orders!
**[09:55] Dahlia**
Thank you!
**[09:57] Dahlia**
What a relief. That's that for now.
**[10:01] Dahlia**
I have to express my gratitude to you, Tobias.
**[10:03] Dahlia**
Thank you for helping me.
**[10:06] Tobias**
No, all I did was assist.
**[10:10] Tobias**
I don't have your inventiveness
or ability to focus.
**[10:15] Tobias**
Though it pains me to say.
**[10:17] Dahlia**
Huh?
**[10:17] Tobias**
Let's head back.
**[10:18] Tobias**
We have to tell the master we
registered them without issue.
**[10:25] Dahlia**
Coming!
**[10:27] staff**
We've gotten more orders, Miss Dahlia!
**[10:31] Dahlia**
*The Guild clerk's prediction came true.*
**[10:47] Dahlia**
* We got an unbelievable number*
* of orders for waterproof fabric.*
**[10:51] Dahlia**
*It was good for more than just raincoats.*
**[10:53] Dahlia**
* It proved to be very useful*
* for wagon canopies, as well.*
**[10:58] Dahlia**
* When people learned that slimes*
* were used in the waterproof fabric,*
**[11:01] Dahlia**
*I heard that it lead to overhunting.*
**[11:04] Dahlia**
* We all worked together*
* to fulfill all of the orders.*
**[11:20] Theo**
Waterproof fabric is all
anyone is talking about.
**[11:23] Carlo**
If you hadn't mediated for us throughout,
this would've been a disaster.
**[11:29] Carlo**
That's the head of the
Orlando Trade Company for ya.
**[11:32] Theo**
Are you being snide?
**[11:33] Carlo**
No, you really saved our hides.
**[11:36] Theo**
Dahlia's talent is astonishing.
**[11:40] Theo**
I can't wait to see what sort of
magic device she creates next.
**[11:44] Carlo**
Yeah.
**[11:45] Theo**
The problem is the possibility of a
proposal from someone you can't refuse.
**[11:50] Carlo**
If it's to protect Dahlia,
**[11:52] Carlo**
I could bear to stand back
and watch someone die.
**[11:55] Carlo**
But if Dahlia thinks her creations
might be of use to someone,
**[12:00] Carlo**
she could unknowingly make
something dangerous.
**[12:03] Theo**
Indeed.
**[12:05] Theo**
Actually, I haven't told anyone yet, but...
**[12:08] Carlo**
Oh, stop. Are you going to
confess your love for me?
**[12:11] Theo**
It isn't love, but I do have
a confession for a friend.
**[12:15] Theo**
My timepiece doesn't even have
a year's worth of sand left in it.
**[12:18] Carlo**
Stop making terrible jokes.
**[12:21] Theo**
I'm going to tell my wife soon.
**[12:24] Theo**
She's not in great shape either, you see.
**[12:27] Theo**
I'm not worried about Ireneo,
though there's more I wanted to teach him.
**[12:32] Theo**
The one I worry for is Tobias.
**[12:34] Carlo**
You can't be serious.
**[12:37] Theo**
If I were joking, this would be
a lot easier to laugh about.
**[12:40] Theo**
But all of this is why I've been hoping
that Tobias and Dahlia would marry.
**[12:46] Carlo**
Theo...
**[12:47] Theo**
Asking this and offering nothing in return
would disrespect the Hot-Water Device Baron,
**[12:52] Theo**
so use my company as a shield to protect
Dahlia from the things you're worried about.
**[12:59] Carlo**
Theo, you...
**[13:01] Theo**
Will you think about it?
Your friend just spilled his guts to you.
**[13:06] Carlo**
Tobias will, without a doubt,
become a capable magic artificer.
**[13:12] Carlo**
You don't have to worry about him.
**[13:13] Theo**
Carlo...
**[13:14] Carlo**
But I don't have much time left, either.
**[13:18] Theo**
If that's a joke, make it funnier.
**[13:22] Carlo**
Your idea about Dahlia's marriage...
Let's do it.
**[13:25] Theo**
Carlo, you...
**[13:28] Carlo**
This is what happens when a magic artificer
sees his will through to the end, right?
**[13:32] Theo**
Thank you.
**[13:33] Carlo**
I'm the one who should be thanking you.
**[13:41] Dahlia**
An engagement?
**[13:43] Theo**
If you fill out the required information
on this certificate of engagement
**[13:46] Theo**
and submit it to the Trade Guild,
the two of you will be betrothed.
**[13:51] Tobias**
If it means that I can protect you
and the Rossetti name, I'll marry you.
**[13:58] Carlo**
You're both magic artificers.
**[14:00] Carlo**
I'm sure you'll get along well
and support each other.
**[14:03] Carlo**
Or rather, I'd like you to
be there for each other.
**[14:08] Dahlia**
What are you even supposed
to say in a situation like this?
**[14:12] Dahlia**
Maybe... I look forward
to our future together?
**[14:15] Tobias**
You're pretty tall, aren't you?
**[14:22] Irma**
You're betrothed to Tobias?!
**[14:23] Dahlia**
Well, we're both magic artificers,
**[14:26] Dahlia**
so I thought we could carry on
the Rossetti name together.
**[14:29] Irma**
That's all well and good,
but what do you think of Tobias?
**[14:33] Dahlia**
He's from a merchant family,
so he didn't grow up around artificers,
**[14:37] Dahlia**
but he's worked hard to become proficient.
I think that's wonderful!
**[14:41] Dahlia**
Dad said the same thing.
**[14:43] Irma**
Oh... That's not really what I meant.
**[14:46] Dahlia**
And, you know, he's very
good at imbuing magic!
**[14:50] Irma**
Well, if it's fine with you,
then it's fine with me. But still...
**[15:06] (Flashback) Carlo**
Amazing, Dahlia! I'd never
have thought of that.
**[15:10] (Flashback) Carlo**
Dahlia, seek to create magical devices
that will make someone out there smile.
**[15:14] (Flashback) Carlo**
Dahlia, what kind of magic device
do you want to make next?
**[15:18] (Flashback) Dahlia**
Next, um, next...
**[15:21] Dahlia**
That's it! The idea I had before.
**[15:24] Tobias**
Dahlia, the master's asking for you.
**[15:26] Dahlia**
Oh, thanks, Tobias.
**[15:29] Dahlia**
I was just putting together that
idea I mentioned to you.
**[15:32] Tobias**
The tabletop hob?
**[15:33] Dahlia**
Yes. I'll go right after I jot down these notes.
**[15:36] Tobias**
Your hair color is a little showy, isn't it?
**[15:39] Dahlia**
What?
**[15:41] Tobias**
Your hair. And I think it would be best
to wear slightly plainer makeup, too.
**[15:47] Tobias**
After all, you're going to be
joining the Orlando Trade Company.
**[15:51] Tobias**
We can't do anything to besmirch
the Rossetti name, can we?
**[15:54] Dahlia**
Do you think so? Yes, you're right.
**[15:59] Dahlia**
Is there anything else?
**[16:00] Tobias**
Your glasses frames.
Something plainer would be better.
**[16:05] Dahlia**
Really? Are these too much?
**[16:09] Dahlia**
All right.
**[16:16] Dahlia**
Everyone in the Orlando Trade
Company is always so kind.
**[16:19] Dahlia**
It helps me feel comfortable there.
**[16:23] Dahlia**
This is delicious.
**[16:24] Tobias**
My father and older brother are always
talking about how great your creations are.
**[16:29] Dahlia**
Really? That makes me so happy!
**[16:33] Tobias**
Could you please not drink so
much alcohol while we're out?
**[16:37] Dahlia**
What?
**[16:37] Tobias**
It's unseemly.
**[16:39] Dahlia**
Do you think so?
**[16:40] Tobias**
As I've said, we are the Rossetti and Orlando—
**[16:44] Dahlia**
You're right. I'm sorry.
**[16:47] Dahlia**
I'll be more careful.
**[16:49] Dahlia**
You're from the trade company.
**[16:51] man**
The chairman has collapsed!
I'm on my way to fetch a doctor!
**[16:55] Tobias**
What?
**[16:56] Dahlia**
Let's hurry there, Tobias!
**[16:58] Dahlia**
Is he at the company?
**[16:59] man**
Yes.
**[17:02] staff**
This isn't the sort of conversation to have
right after losing the chairman, but...
**[17:07] Tobias**
What is it?
**[17:08] staff**
He was the only one with a full grasp
of the company's operations.
**[17:12] staff**
We don't know how to handle
the most pressing issues.
**[17:15] Tobias**
What about my brother?
**[17:16] staff**
He's currently abroad acquiring inventory.
**[17:20] staff**
What should we do?
**[17:24] Dahlia**
I'll help, Tobias.
**[17:27] Tobias**
What do I do?
**[17:29] Dahlia**
Let's gather everyone together as quickly as
possible and get a sense of the situation.
**[17:33] Tobias**
R-Right.
**[17:46] Dahlia**
Dad.
**[17:48] Carlo**
Dahlia! What brings you here
at this time of night?
**[17:51] Carlo**
Will you be drinking, too?
**[17:53] Dahlia**
I've been asked not to drink
too much while I'm out.
**[17:57] Carlo**
By Tobias?
**[17:59] Dahlia**
Yes.
**[18:00] Carlo**
It seems like things at the
company have been sorted out.
**[18:03] Dahlia**
In part because of your expertise. Thank you.
**[18:07] Carlo**
I didn't do anything much.
**[18:10] Dahlia**
What is it?
**[18:12] Carlo**
Oh, it's nothing.
**[18:16] Dahlia**
Come to think of it,
it was right around this time.
**[18:20] Dahlia**
"I could see that heavy
evening shower coming in."
**[18:23] Dahlia**
"I saw the boundary between
**[18:25] Dahlia**
where it was raining and where
it wasn't raining getting closer."
**[18:30] Carlo**
I thought if I ran, I might stay ahead
of it, so I ran as fast as I could.
**[18:35] Dahlia**
But it caught up to you, didn't it?
**[18:36] Carlo**
That rain sure did move fast.
**[18:40] Carlo**
The look on your face when you said
you wanted to make a raincoat...
**[18:43] Carlo**
I can still see it so clearly.
**[18:46] Dahlia**
I remembered that magical devices
should be made to make people smile,
**[18:51] Dahlia**
and the idea just came to me!
**[18:53] Carlo**
Well, whoever taught you that
must really be something.
**[18:57] Dahlia**
He is! Though he drinks a little too much.
**[19:04] Carlo**
Hey, now.
**[19:06] Carlo**
Tobias is going to be angry with you.
**[19:08] Dahlia**
You'll keep it a secret, won't you?
**[19:11] Carlo**
I couldn't possibly refuse a request
from my darling daughter.
**[19:24] Ivano**
Mister Carlo!
**[19:26] Carlo**
Nice weather, isn't it?
**[19:28] Carlo**
It's almost the season
for a delicious cold ale.
**[19:31] Ivano**
If you drink too much,
Miss Dahlia will be upset with you.
**[19:56] Ivano**
Someone, fetch a doctor! Hurry!
**[19:59] Carlo**
D-Dahlia, what kind of magic device...
do you want to make next?
**[20:07] staff**
Miss Dahlia! Miss Dahlia!
**[20:11] Dahlia**
Is something the matter?
**[20:12] staff**
It's Mister Carlo...
**[20:15] staff**
He collapsed at the Trade Guild.
**[20:28] Dahlia**
*Dad!*
**[20:38] Ivano**
Miss Dahlia... Mister Carlo
seemed just like he always did.
**[20:43] Ivano**
He said that it's nearly the season
for a delicious cold ale...
**[20:48] Ivano**
and was gazing out the window.
**[20:51] Ivano**
His expression was so gentle.
**[20:52] Tobias**
Master...

**[00:07] Dahlia**
Okay.
**[00:12] Dahlia**
I'm off.
**[00:30] Dahlia**
Sorry to intrude.
**[00:31] Tobias**
Oh, Dahlia.
**[00:35] Dahlia**
You're early! I didn't think
you'd be here already.
**[00:37] Tobias**
What about the marriage papers?
**[00:40] Dahlia**
Sorry. I haven't signed them yet.
**[00:43] Tobias**
Wait!
**[00:44] Dahlia**
What?
**[00:45] Tobias**
I'm sorry, Dahlia.
**[00:47] Tobias**
I want to break off our engagement.
**[00:52] Tobias**
I've found true love!
***SIGN*** Dahlia in Bloom:
Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools
***SIGN*** Episode 3: True Love?
**[02:32] Dahlia**
With whom?
**[02:34] Tobias**
Emilia. Emilia Tallini.
**[02:38] Dahlia**
Emilia...
**[02:40] Dahlia; internal**
* Oh, the receptionist at the*
* Orlando Trade Company.*
**[02:44] Tobias**
I plan to marry her.
**[02:47] Dahlia**
I see.
**[02:48] Tobias**
Dahlia, you...
**[02:50] Dahlia**
All right.
**[02:52] Dahlia**
I accept the dissolution of our engagement.
**[02:54] Tobias**
I'm sorry.
**[02:56] Dahlia**
As for the forms, let's have them
validated at the Trade Guild tomorrow.
**[03:00] Dahlia**
Will two o'clock work?
**[03:02] Tobias**
Yes.
**[03:04] Dahlia**
Is there something else?
**[03:06] Tobias**
It's just... Emilia is...
**[03:12] Irma; Marcella**
What?!
**[03:15] Marcella**
He's living in your new house?
**[03:17] Irma**
With the woman he had an affair with?
**[03:19] Marcella**
Is he stupid? What does he
even mean by "true love"?!
**[03:22] Irma**
You've been engaged for two years,
and he does this? Talk about low!
**[03:26] Dahlia**
I'm grateful that you're angry on my behalf.
**[03:29] Dahlia**
But it's all right. We hadn't
submitted our marriage papers yet.
**[03:34] Irma**
We should consider it a stroke of good luck.
**[03:36] Irma**
I'm so glad you didn't marry a man like that!
**[03:39] Marcella**
I can't believe he made you cry!
**[03:41] Marcella**
I'm never drinking with him again!
**[03:44] Dahlia**
He didn't make me cry.
**[03:49] Irma**
You know, Dahlia, you don't need to hold back.
**[03:52] Irma**
Shall we have a drink? We can close the shop.
**[03:55] Dahlia**
It's all right.
**[03:56] Dahlia**
Actually, after this, I'm going to the
Trade Guild to formalize the dissolution.
**[04:01] Dahlia**
And I have to move my things
out of the new house.
**[04:05] Marcella**
You can leave that to us
at the Transport Guild.
**[04:08] Marcella**
You wouldn't want to run
into him there, would you?
**[04:11] Marcella**
If you leave a key with us,
we'll move all your furniture for you.
**[04:15] Dahlia**
That would be a huge help!
You really wouldn't mind?
**[04:19] Marcella**
Sure! Just leave it to us!
**[04:20] Marcella**
If there's anything we can
do to help, we will.
**[04:24] Irma**
That's right. You can come
by anytime, you hear?
**[04:28] Dahlia**
Yeah. Thank you so much, you two!
**[04:32] Irma**
Oh, right. Once things settle down,
be sure to tell Lucia.
**[04:36] Irma**
She's always been worried about you and him.
**[04:39] Dahlia**
Yeah, I will.
**[04:43] Lucia**
What? He's breaking off the engagement?
**[04:46] Lucia**
I was wondering why you
dropped by out of the blue...
**[04:48] Lucia**
I never would've seen that coming.
**[04:51] Dahlia**
I'm sorry to bother you at work.
**[04:53] Dahlia**
I wanted you to be among the first to know.
**[04:55] Lucia**
Never mind that. Are you sure you're all right?
**[05:00] Dahlia**
Yes, I'm fine.
**[05:05] Lucia**
I suppose I'm a bit surprised,
but that also makes sense.
**[05:08] Dahlia**
What makes sense?
**[05:10] Lucia**
I mean, even if you'd gotten married,
you weren't in love with him, right?
**[05:15] Dahlia**
Is that how you saw it?
**[05:16] Lucia**
Yeah. You two seemed like family,
but you never spoke fondly of him.
**[05:21] Lucia**
And when you were having fun talking,
**[05:23] Lucia**
it was always about magic
devices or monster materials.
**[05:26] Dahlia**
Now that you mention it, you might be right.
**[05:29] Lucia**
This time, it just wasn't meant to be.
**[05:32] Lucia**
You just need to find
someone better next time!
**[05:35] Dahlia**
I can't even think about that right now.
**[05:39] Lucia**
Then for the time being, our work together
will be your top priority, right?
**[05:43] Lucia**
I know! Can I ask you to imbue the
fabric for some raincoats with magic?
**[05:48] Lucia**
We'll have some new patterns ready soon.
**[05:51] Dahlia**
Leave it to me! I have no other plans.
**[05:56] Dahlia**
It's already this late?
**[05:59] Dahlia**
I should go. I have a meeting
at the Trade Guild.
**[06:03] Lucia**
Okay, I'll see you later.
**[06:05] Dahlia**
Yeah.
**[06:15] Ivano**
We will now begin the voiding of the contract
**[06:19] Ivano**
and settling of any joint accounts per
the terms of your betrothal agreement.
**[06:23] Ivano**
As witnesses, we have...
**[06:25] Ivano**
the vice chair of the Guild,
Gabriella Jedder.
**[06:28] Ivano**
Myself, Ivano Badoer,
the administrator of the contract.
**[06:32] Ivano**
And also...
**[06:33] Dominic**
Dominic Kaempfer. I'll be the
notary public for the proceedings.
**[06:39] Ivano**
Now, to start...
**[06:40] Ivano**
Your joint accounts have
been closed and liquidated.
**[06:45] Ivano**
Next, as the party responsible
for the breaking the engagement,
**[06:48] Ivano**
Mister Tobias will pay Miss Dahlia
twelve gold coins in reparations.
**[06:56] Tobias**
Agreed.
**[06:57] Ivano**
Next, regarding the house
held in both your names
**[07:00] Ivano**
that was built during your betrothal...
**[07:03] Tobias**
I would like to take ownership!
**[07:07] Ivano**
I see.
**[07:08] Ivano**
In that case, please repay Miss Dahlia the
fifty gold she contributed to its purchase.
**[07:14] Tobias**
Of course.
**[07:19] Tobias**
I have a total of twenty-eight here.
**[07:22] Tobias**
Dahlia, please wait a bit for the rest.
**[07:25] Tobias**
I'll return it to as soon as I have it!
**[07:28] Dahlia; Ivano**
What?
**[07:32] Dominic**
Changing the name on a deed prior
to payment in full leads to trouble.
**[07:38] Dominic**
I wouldn't recommend it,
but what would you like to do?
**[07:41] Dahlia**
We'll make the change after payment.
**[07:43] Tobias**
You're putting me out here!
**[07:45] Tobias**
I promised Emilia we could
start living there right away!
**[07:51] Tobias**
Pardon my outburst.
**[07:52] Gabriella**
We trust you, Mister Orlando,
so the Trade Guild can lend you the money.
**[07:59] Gabriella**
If you plan to live there
with your new woman,
**[08:02] Gabriella**
you need to settle your affairs neatly
lest you end up despised.
**[08:07] Tobias**
Thank you. I would appreciate that.
**[08:20] Dahlia**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
If you would, please.
**[08:23] Ivano**
I hereby acknowledge receipt.
You did good.
**[08:26] Ivano**
Now, just leave the rest to me!
**[08:29] Dahlia**
Thank you.
**[08:31] Ivano**
By the way, it may be rude
of me to ask, but...
**[08:36] Dahlia**
Please, you can ask me anything.
**[08:38] Ivano**
Has Mister Tobias always been like that?
**[08:41] Dahlia**
I've never seen him act that way
before today myself.
**[08:44] Dominic**
Miss Dahlia, you performed admirably today.
**[08:47] Dahlia**
Oh, no. I couldn't have done
it without your help.
**[08:50] Gabriella**
What are you doing after this?
**[08:53] Gabriella**
If you need help moving,
I can call someone for you.
**[08:56] Dahlia**
Thank you, but I've already put in
a request with the Transport Guild.
**[09:00] Gabriella**
I see.
**[09:05] Ivano**
Pretty thin walls around this
meeting room, you know?
**[09:08] Dahlia**
Indeed. I'll soon be a juicy bit
of gossip to enjoy over drinks.
**[09:14] Gabriella**
Oh, that's right.
**[09:15] Gabriella**
Let me say just one thing.
**[09:17] Gabriella**
Congratulations on your
beneficially broken engagement.
**[09:22] Marcella**
Mena, take that box, would you?
**[09:24] Mezzena**
Sure.
**[09:26] Marcella**
That's the last box. Is there anything
else you want us to move out of here?
**[09:31] Dahlia**
Yes, over here.
**[09:33] Dahlia**
I bought this bed, but I
already have one at the tower,
**[09:37] Dahlia**
so I wasn't sure what I wanted to...
**[09:41] Marcella**
Dahlia, what's wrong?
**[09:43] Dahlia**
Nothing, just...
**[09:45] Marcella**
May I look inside?
**[09:48] Dahlia**
Sure.
**[09:54] Marcella**
Don't worry. I'll make that idiot
buy this bed off of you.
**[09:59] staff**
Excuse me! Mister Marcella, Miss Dahlia,
**[10:03] staff**
could you come take a look at something?
**[10:05] Marcella**
Sure. What is it?
**[10:09] Marcella**
These aren't yours, are they, Dahlia?
**[10:12] Dahlia**
No. Like I said, I left the
closet and dresser empty.
**[10:21] Marcella**
Those two just went and made
a mess wherever they pleased!
**[10:26] Marcella**
It's a little more work,
**[10:28] Marcella**
but it would be wise to have a notary
verify what you're taking, just in case.
**[10:33] Marcella**
We can give you a written receipt
for everything we've already moved.
**[10:37] Dahlia**
You're right.
**[10:39] Dahlia**
There's no telling what might happen,
so I'll do exactly that.
**[10:43] Dahlia**
If possible, I'd like it to be
Mister Dominic Kaempfer.
**[10:47] Marcella**
Sure thing. I'll have him come right away.
**[10:50] Dahlia; internal**
* After going over my things and*
* having a notarized list drawn up,*
**[10:53] Dahlia; internal**
* I'll return my key to this*
* place to the Trade Guild*
**[10:56] Dahlia; internal**
*and move my things into the tower.*
**[10:58] Dahlia; internal**
* Oh! I forgot to ask how*
* long all this would take.*
**[11:02] Dahlia; internal**
* I wonder if I'll be able*
* to finish unpacking today.*
**[11:47] girl**
It lit up!
**[12:04] Dominic**
You can consider this key returned.
**[12:07] Dahlia**
I'm sorry to ask you to
handle that for me, too.
**[12:10] Dominic**
If you went now, someone dying
of curiosity might catch hold of you.
**[12:14] Dominic**
Please, leave this to me.
**[12:16] Dahlia**
I will, thank you.
**[12:19] Dominic**
Your father left us before I could
repay my debt of gratitude to him.
**[12:24] Dominic**
If you're ever in need,
come talk to me anytime.
**[12:28] Dominic**
Don't try to take everything upon yourself.
**[12:31] Dahlia**
Okay.
**[12:33] Dominic**
I hope that your future is full
of happiness and good fortune.
**[12:37] Dahlia**
Thank you, Mister Dominic.
**[12:45] Marcella**
That's everything.
If you could just sign here, please.
**[12:49] Dahlia**
Of course. Truly, you've helped
me in so many ways today.
**[12:52] Marcella**
You haven't had dinner, right?
Want to come to our place?
**[12:56] Dahlia**
Thank you, but I have some preserved foods,
and I want to finish unpacking tonight.
**[13:02] Marcella**
I see. Could you wait here a minute for me?
**[13:08] Marcella**
Here.
**[13:10] Dahlia**
What is this?
**[13:12] Marcella**
Irma said to give it to you
if you refused to come over.
**[13:16] Dahlia**
She thinks of everything.
**[13:19] Dahlia**
Thank you. She's a wonderful wife, isn't she?
**[13:23] Marcella**
She's a good friend.
**[13:24] Marcella**
Right?
**[13:26] Dahlia**
Yes.
**[13:28] Dahlia**
I'll get things tidied up soon.
**[13:30] Dahlia**
Once I've settled in,
bring Irma over to eat sometime.
**[13:32] Marcella**
Sure! We'll hold you to that.
**[13:35] Dahlia**
Thanks to Irma, I feel like I can
keep going a little longer!
**[13:48] Dahlia**
It's all done...
**[13:52] Tobias; flashback**
* If it means that I can protect Dahlia*
* and the Rossetti name, then I'll marry her.*
**[13:58] Dahlia; internal**
* Our engagement was always something*
* our parents had decided.*
**[14:02] Dahlia; internal**
*Now that I've lost Dad and his backing,*
**[14:04] Dahlia; internal**
* if Tobias found a woman he loves,*
* maybe it's only natural that this happened.*
**[14:09] Dahlia; internal**
Surprisingly, I can't really cry about it.
**[14:14] Dahlia; internal**
* In my previous life, my last memory*
* was of the texture of an office desk.*
**[14:20] Dahlia; internal**
* I lived with my head down*
* and died the same way.*
**[14:25] Dahlia; internal**
* Which is why, in this life,*
* to prevent that from happening again,*
**[14:29] Dahlia; internal**
*I tried to become a good wife.*
**[14:31] Dahlia; internal**
* I worked so hard to make sure*
* I wouldn't end up alone.*
**[14:39] Dahlia; internal**
*And this is the result.*
**[14:49] Dahlia; internal**
*Enough of this.*
**[14:54] Dahlia; internal**
*I'm not keeping my head down anymore.*
**[15:02] Dahlia; internal**
* From now on,*
* I'll say what I like and don't like.*
**[15:07] Dahlia; internal**
* Fortunately, I love my*
* work as a magic artificer.*
**[15:11] Dahlia; internal**
* I don't have to force myself*
* to be with anyone.*
**[15:14] Dahlia; internal**
*I'm going to live this second life of mine*
**[15:17] Dahlia; internal**
*the way I want to live it, as best I can.*
**[15:28] Dahlia**
If Dad were here...
**[15:29] Dahlia**
I'm sure he'd have been with me, getting angry,
drinking, and helping me laugh it all off.
**[15:35] Dahlia**
If he saw me like this, he'd have
ruffled my hair and said, "Eat up!"
***SIGN*** Eat this and cheer up
**[15:47] Dahlia**
Lucia...
**[15:49] Dahlia**
That's right. I have people
who are there for me.
**[16:03] Dahlia**
*Cheers.*
**[16:15] Irma**
So, basically,
**[16:17] Irma**
Emilia Tallini is a noble,
**[16:19] Irma**
and she deliberately left her pendant
there just so you'd know?
**[16:23] Dahlia**
I don't know if it was deliberate,
**[16:26] Dahlia**
but judging from the crest on the pendant,
**[16:28] Dahlia**
she's apparently related to Viscount Tallini.
**[16:33] Irma**
It had to be deliberate.
There's no other way to take that!
**[16:36] Irma**
Women who steal men are all very calculating.
**[16:40] Irma**
The bed, the pendant...
**[16:42] Irma**
You have every right to be furious, Dahlia.
**[16:46] Dahlia**
You may be right,
**[16:48] Dahlia**
but amid all the running around to file
the paperwork, I sort of stopped caring.
**[16:52] Dahlia**
I'd rather forget it as quickly as possible.
**[16:55] Irma**
Well, that's fair enough.
**[16:57] Irma**
Any man with so little confidence that
**[16:59] Irma**
he'd force a woman to look plainer
should be forgotten immediately.
**[17:03] Irma**
You'll find someone far better soon enough!
**[17:08] Dahlia**
I'm not interested in romance at the moment.
**[17:10] Irma**
Really?
**[17:13] Irma**
There, all done! What do you think?
**[17:15] Dahlia**
It feels so much lighter. It's great.
**[17:18] Dahlia**
It's been a while, so I'm not
used to this color, though.
**[17:21] Irma**
Strawberry Candle is definitely
your color! It looks lovely on you.
**[17:26] Dahlia**
Thanks.
**[17:28] Irma**
Say, do you have a bit more time?
**[17:31] Irma**
Want some coffee before you go?
**[17:33] Dahlia**
Sure, I'll have some.
**[17:53] Irma**
I'd like to say you can drop by again anytime,
**[17:56] Irma**
but you'll be holing up in
the tower for a bit, huh?
**[17:58] Dahlia**
Yeah. For the first time in a while,
there are so many things I want to make!
**[18:01] Dahlia**
Though, tomorrow, I was thinking of going
gathering in the forest for a change.
**[18:05] Irma**
You're going to the forest alone?
You'd better be careful.
**[18:09] Dahlia**
Don't worry. I'll be back before it gets dark.
**[18:13] Dahlia**
Besides, I've thought of safety measures.
**[18:16] Irma**
That face says you're having fun.
**[18:18] Irma**
If anything happens, let me know.
**[18:20] Dahlia**
I will. Thanks, Irma.
**[18:22] Dahlia**
See you later.
**[18:30] Dahlia**
I look like I'm having fun, huh?
**[18:46] Dali**
Good. The voice-shifting magic device is a go.
**[19:01] Dali**
A magic throwing stone meant for monsters,
**[19:04] Dali**
bandit deterrent,
**[19:08] Dali**
and just in case, I have this, too.
**[19:10] Dali**
I'm all set.
**[19:15] Dali**
Move out!
**[19:26] Dahlia; internal**
*This area certainly is peaceful.*
**[20:11] Dali**
Hey! Are you all right?
**[20:13] Wolf**
W-Water... please...
**[20:23] Dali**
Drink this.
**[20:32] Wolf**
I feel alive again. Thank... you...
**[20:36] Dali**
Stay awake!
**[20:38] Dahlia; internal**
*He's covered in blood from head to toe!*
**[20:41] Dahlia; internal**
*And the gravest concern...*
**[20:43] Dahlia; internal**
*is that deep wound on his left shoulder.*
**[20:45] Dali**
Hang in there a second.
**[20:58] Dali**
Have another mugful.
**[21:00] Wolf**
Thank you.
**[21:06] Wolf**
This... is a potion, isn't it?
**[21:09] Dali**
Yes. And I've already opened it,
so be sure to drink it to the last drop.
**[21:34] Wolf**
I'm sorry. Once I get back to the royal
capital, I'll be sure to pay you.
**[21:37] Dali**
Oh, no. Please don't concern
yourself with that.
**[21:44] Wolf**
I haven't introduced myself yet.
**[21:46] Wolf**
I am a member of the knights' monster
suppression force. My name is Wolfred.
**[21:51] Wolf**
I'm the youngest child of a
low-ranking noble, so please...
**[21:54] Wolf**
Just call me Wolf.

**[00:07] Wolf**
I'm the youngest child of a

**[00:10] Wolf**
Just call me Wolf.
**[00:11] Dali**
I'm Dali, just a regular citizen.
**[00:13] Wolf**
Mister Dali, I know this
is a lot to ask of you,
**[00:17] Wolf**
but if you are traveling to the
capital, may I ride along?
**[00:20] Dali**
Of course. Please, come and take a seat.
**[00:23] Wolf**
Thank you.
**[00:25] Dali**
Um... Do your eyes hurt?
**[00:27] Wolf**
I got some monster blood in them,
so they feel a bit strange.
**[00:31] Dali**
It would be best to rinse them
out as soon as possible.
**[00:35] Dali**
There's a river nearby.
Would you like to stop there?
**[00:38] Wolf**
If you don't mind.
**[00:39] Dali**
Sorry the driver's bench is all I have,
but you're welcome to sit beside me.
**[00:43] Wolf**
I couldn't. I'll get it dirty.
**[00:45] Dali**
It's covered in waterproof fabric,
so you needn't worry about that.
***SIGN*** Dahlia in Bloom:
Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools
***SIGN*** Episode 4: An Encounter with a Knight
**[02:27] Wolf**
This waterproof fabric
certainly is useful, isn't it?
**[02:30] Dali**
You think so?
**[02:32] Wolf**
Yes.
**[02:33] Wolf**
Back when I was just starting out,
we had to wax our tents.
**[02:37] Wolf**
It was a lot of work.
**[02:40] Wolf**
Now that we have waterproof fabric,
life is so much easier.
**[02:43] Dali**
I see!
**[02:45] Wolf**
The raincoats made out of it
are nice because they're light.
**[02:49] Dali**
Seems like they'd be even better
if they had more ventilation.
**[02:53] Wolf**
That would be nice.
**[02:55] Wolf**
But durability is also an important factor,
so I imagine that would be difficult.
**[03:00] Dali**
Durability...
**[03:02] Dahlia; internal**
*Then perhaps with a new material...*
**[03:05] Wolf**
My apologies! I'm being so familiar with you.
**[03:08] Dali**
Oh, I don't mind.
**[03:12] Dali**
We're here.
**[03:18] Dali**
You can use this if you'd like.
**[03:20] Wolf**
Thank you.
**[03:30] Wolf**
While we're here,
I'll wash the blood off me, as well.
**[03:33] Dali**
O-Of course! Please take your time!
**[03:38] Dali**
You can hang your clothes here.
**[03:40] Dali**
And you can use this coat until they dry.
**[03:43] Dali**
It was my father's,
so it may be a bit snug on you.
**[03:47] Wolf**
You've thought of everything.
I'm sorry to put you up to all this.
**[03:50] Dali**
It's nothing much.
**[03:59] Wolf**
Mister Dali?
**[04:02] Dali**
Help yourself to some food.
**[04:04] Wolf**
Thank you. I'll take you up on that.
**[04:10] Wolf**
It's been so long since I last ate
anything that tasted this good!
**[04:16] Dali**
How are your eyes?
**[04:18] Wolf**
The pain is gone, but my vision
is still a little blurry.
**[04:23] Dali**
It would be wise to have
a doctor look at them.
**[04:26] Wolf**
Yes, I'll do that.
**[04:31] Dahlia; internal**
*A red breastplate...*
**[04:34] Dali**
Mister Wolf, might you happen
to be one of the Scarlet Armor?
**[04:37] Wolf**
Yes. Being quick on my feet
is one of my few skills,
**[04:40] Wolf**
and this armor is good for
drawing monsters' attention.
**[04:43] Dahlia; internal**
* In the monster suppression force,*
* the only ones who wear red armor*
**[04:47] Dahlia; internal**
* are those who lead the initial charge*
* toward the monsters—the vanguard.*
**[04:52] Dahlia; internal**
* Since they stand out so much,*
* they're often used as a distraction.*
**[04:56] Dahlia; internal**
* All of the monster suppression*
* force does dangerous work,*
**[04:59] Dahlia; internal**
*but they are the most likely to die.*
**[05:03] Dahlia; internal**
*That is the role of the Scarlet Armor.*
**[05:12] Wolf**
By the way, I was thinking...
**[05:15] Dali**
Yes?
**[05:16] Wolf**
If I forget that this is all I'm wearing
**[05:18] Wolf**
and take it off in front of a lady
in town without thinking,
**[05:21] Wolf**
they might call the guards
to take me away as a pervert.
**[05:25] Dali**
D-Don't say things like that
while someone's drinking!
**[05:28] Wolf**
My apologies. I couldn't help myself.
**[05:33] Wolf**
I appreciate your concern for me,
**[05:36] Wolf**
but my job isn't as dangerous
as the rumors say.
**[05:38] Wolf**
You just looked so sad.
**[05:41] Wolf**
I'm sorry. I just had to say something silly.
**[05:44] Dali**
No, I'm the one who should apologize.
**[05:47] Wolf**
This is how I normally am.
Maybe this is better?
**[05:51] Wolf**
So I'd like it if you'd be more
candid with me, as well.
**[05:54] Dali**
All right.
**[05:56] Wolf**
Mister Dali, do you like magic devices?
**[05:59] Dali**
I love them! I even work
with them for a living.
**[06:02] Wolf**
Then there's something I'd like to ask you.
**[06:04] Wolf**
I've never seen one, but among the magic
devices available to private citizens,
**[06:08] Wolf**
are there any swords?
**[06:10] Dali**
I don't think there are swords.
**[06:12] Dali**
The only people who can imbue weapons
with magic are mages and alchemists.
**[06:16] Dali**
But I think magic artificers do make knives.
**[06:20] Wolf**
What kinds of magic get imbued in knives?
**[06:24] Dali**
The most common is anti-rust magic.
**[06:26] Dali**
There's also ever-sharp magic, though.
I wonder which is more common.
**[06:30] Wolf**
Anti-rust and ever-sharp?
**[06:32] Wolf**
Those would be incredibly useful on a sword!
**[06:35] Dali**
What's your sword imbued with?
**[06:37] Wolf**
Most swords in our unit have
hardening magic in them.
**[06:41] Wolf**
I still managed to break mine, though.
**[06:44] Wolf**
Have you ever seen a magic sword?
**[06:47] Dali**
I've seen the Magic Sword of Flame
at the Trade Guild.
**[06:50] Dali**
Only in its scabbard, though,
since no one can draw it.
**[06:53] Wolf**
The Magic Sword of Flame?
I wish I could've seen that!
**[06:57] Dali**
Do you encounter a lot of magic swords?
**[06:59] Wolf**
The one I see the most is the captain of the
monster suppression force's magic sword.
**[07:04] Wolf**
It's called Ashhand. Anything it impales
burns and instantly turns to ash.
**[07:09] Wolf**
No one else can draw it,
**[07:11] Wolf**
and if anyone other than the captain touches
it while it's drawn, they get burned!
**[07:15] Dahlia; internal**
*I bet he knows that from experience.*
**[07:18] Wolf**
There are also two famous magic swords
with no masters at the castle.
**[07:23] Wolf**
No one's a good match for them,
so no one can draw them.
**[07:26] Wolf**
When I first joined the knights, I tried
my hand, but I couldn't draw either one.
**[07:30] Dali**
Is it a matter of magical compatibility?
**[07:32] Dali**
Or is there some other kind
of special requirement?
**[07:37] Wolf**
For the two at the castle,
they say it's things like nobility of spirit
**[07:40] Wolf**
or a strong sense of duty.
**[07:44] Dahlia; internal**
*Magic swords...*
**[07:46] Wolf**
I wish I had the social standing
to be able to show them to you.
**[07:51] Dali**
It's all right. Just talking about
them is fun. I appreciate it.
**[07:56] Dali**
It'll serve as a seed for my work.
**[07:58] Dali**
We should get moving.
**[08:00] Dali**
We're still quite a ways
from the royal capital.
**[08:06] Dali**
It's going to be a while,
so you should sleep until we get there.
**[08:09] Wolf**
I'm all right.
**[08:11] Wolf**
Is something wrong?
**[08:13] Dali**
I completely forgot that I hadn't
finished this white wine.
**[08:18] Wolf**
May I have a sip?
**[08:21] Dali**
I'm sorry it's an opened bottle.
**[08:23] Dali**
If you're thirsty,
you can have the rest of it.
**[08:26] Wolf**
No, I'm sorry for scrounging it off of you.
**[08:37] Wolf**
The truth is... white wine is my weakness!
**[09:01] Dali**
We don't want you catching
a cold, so keep that on.
**[09:04] Dali**
It's sand lizard,
so it's good against the rain.
**[09:07] Wolf**
Thanks. I'll borrow it for now.
**[09:09] Wolf**
Thank you for today! You really saved me.
**[09:13] Wolf**
Tell me where you live.
I'll come by and pay you for all this later.
**[09:16] Dali**
That's all right.
**[09:17] Dali**
I already reap the benefits of
your monster suppression work.
**[09:20] Dali**
Think of it as civilian support.
**[09:23] Wolf**
At least let me treat you
to a drink somewhere.
**[09:29] Dali**
If you see me around town, come and say hi.
**[09:31] Dali**
I'll definitely take you up
on that offer then.
**[09:35] man**
Hey! Hurry it up, will you?
**[09:36] Dali**
Well, they're waiting back there, so I'll be off!
**[09:42] Wolf**
See you again, Dali!
**[10:03] Dahlia; internal**
*What an eventful day.*
**[10:06] Dahlia; internal**
*But...*
**[10:08] Dahlia; internal**
*I'm glad I could help him.*
**[10:14] Dahlia; internal**
* The capital is so big,*
* we probably won't meet again.*
**[10:19] Dahlia**
I hope Mister Wolf's eyes heal properly.
**[10:26] Ivano; staff (female)**
We're so very sorry!
**[10:28] Dahlia**
The sales contract for the small
magic hob is in Tobias's name?
**[10:32] staff (female)**
Yes. Mister Tobias said that
you'd consented to it,
**[10:37] staff (female)**
so I assumed you were putting it in his name.
**[10:43] Gabriella**
I've heard the situation.
**[10:44] Gabriella**
Miss Dahlia Rossetti,
**[10:46] Gabriella**
in the guild master's absence and as
a representative of the Trade Guild,
**[10:50] Gabriella**
I offer you my deepest apologies.
**[10:52] Dahlia**
Miss Vice Chair, please, raise your head!
**[10:56] Gabriella**
Should you wish it, we could bring a
suit against him for contract fraud.
**[11:01] Dahlia**
If he were to void the
contract of his own accord,
**[11:04] Dahlia**
would it be possible to avoid penalties
for Mister Orlando and the artisans?
**[11:10] Gabriella**
If you'd be satisfied
with that, we'll not argue.
**[11:15] Dahlia**
I'll go discuss the matter
with Mister Orlando.
**[11:18] Ivano**
Truthfully, no one would say a word
if she decked him, but she's...
**[11:21] Ivano**
Is this just how fellow apprentices are?
**[11:25] Gabriella**
No.
**[11:26] Gabriella**
The person she's trying to protect is Carlo.
**[11:30] Gabriella**
If his senior apprentice makes trouble,
it'll damage his name.
**[11:34] Gabriella**
And even if not, it would sadden Carlo.
**[11:36] Gabriella**
I believe that's what she's
subconsciously thinking.
**[11:39] Ivano**
Ah, I see.
**[11:41] Gabriella**
Honestly...
**[11:42] Gabriella**
That man should have lived another
twenty years. At least another decade.
**[11:50] Tobias**
I'm sorry.
**[11:51] Tobias**
I forgot to explain that.
It's just a misunderstanding.
**[11:56] Dahlia**
What's the meaning of this? My magic
device is registered under your name.
**[12:02] Dahlia**
Apparently the Guild staff was told
that you had my permission to do it.
**[12:07] Tobias**
Well, um, after we married,
we were going to start a new company.
**[12:13] Tobias**
So I thought all of our registrations
should be under one name.
**[12:17] Dahlia**
Does that mean you intended to do
the same with all of my magic devices?
**[12:22] Tobias**
Yeah. Since we'd be producing
them as a company,
**[12:24] Tobias**
the registrations would be either
under my name or ours jointly.
**[12:28] Dahlia**
When you create a device that will
go into the hands of the people,
**[12:31] Dahlia**
you must carve your name into it
**[12:33] Dahlia**
and take responsibility for it by
watching over it to the very end.
**[12:35] Dahlia**
My father taught me that.
**[12:38] Tobias**
Well, of course, I also...
**[12:40] Dahlia**
It would have been better if
you'd done a joint registration.
**[12:43] Dahlia**
But with it solely in your name,
**[12:46] Dahlia**
if there were any problems or accidents,
I wouldn't hear a word about them.
**[12:50] Tobias**
I thought I could just tell you about them.
**[12:54] Dahlia**
Void the contract for the small
magic hob by the end of the day.
**[12:58] Dahlia**
I'll reregister it.
**[13:00] Tobias**
That's... something you made
while we were engaged.
**[13:05] Tobias**
Could we leave the registration as-is,
**[13:06] Tobias**
and I buy the rights to the
small magic hob from you?
**[13:10] Tobias**
Of course, you can set the price!
My company will pay for it!
**[13:14] Dahlia**
I refuse.
**[13:16] Dahlia**
And any contracts the Trade Guild finds
objection with are subject to disposal.
**[13:21] Dahlia**
I've been told that, should I wish it,
I could bring a suit against you.
**[13:25] Tobias**
But you wouldn't do that, would you?
**[13:29] Tobias**
Do you resent me because
I broke off our engagement?
**[13:33] Dahlia**
As a magic artificer, I find the fact that
you changed the registration more lamentable.
**[13:38] Dahlia**
I've always thought of you as
my father's senior apprentice.
**[13:43] Tobias**
I see. More than your fiancé,
I was a senior apprentice.
**[13:48] Tobias**
You were always like that.
**[13:53] Dahlia**
Tobias?
**[13:54] Tobias**
So, you have absolutely no intention of
selling me the rights to the small magic hob?
**[13:59] Dahlia**
None whatsoever.
**[14:00] Tobias**
Not even if the Orlando Trade Company
ceases doing business with you?
**[14:05] Dahlia**
That's right.
**[14:07] Tobias**
Dahlia...
**[14:10] Dahlia**
Please submit the appropriate paperwork
at the Trade Guild before the day's end.
**[14:22] Tobias**
Emilia...
**[14:24] Emilia**
I'm sorry, Mister Tobias.
**[14:27] Tobias**
You haven't done anything wrong!
This is all my fault.
**[14:32] Tobias**
It's just that I was never anything
other than a fellow apprentice to her.
**[14:38] Dahlia**
And so, once Mister Orlando
has voided the contract,
**[14:42] Dahlia**
I'd like to reregister the device.
**[14:44] Ivano**
Understood.
**[14:46] Dahlia**
Also, the Orlando Trade Company
will no longer be doing business with me,
**[14:51] Dahlia**
so I'm hoping you can
introduce me to a new partner.
**[14:54] Ivano**
What? Did Mister Tobias tell you that?
**[14:58] Dahlia**
Yes, it came directly from Mister Orlando.
**[15:01] Ivano**
I'm sorry! Let me go check
with the vice chair!
**[15:08] Marcella**
Oh, Dahlia! Hello there.
**[15:10] Dahlia**
Mister Marcella!
**[15:12] Marcella**
Red hair really does suit you better.
**[15:15] Dahlia**
Thank you. I have Irma's
wonderful skills to thank.
**[15:18] Marcella**
Are you here for a meeting?
**[15:21] Dahlia**
Yes. I'm looking for a different
company to be my new supplier.
**[15:27] Dahlia**
It seems I won't be able to work with
the Orlando Trade Company anymore.
**[15:32] Marcella**
Hey, Dahlia! You should make
your own Rossetti Company!
**[15:36] Marcella**
If you did, you could buy and
sell as much as you want!
**[15:38] Dahlia**
My own company? The security deposit aside,
I'd never find four guarantors!
**[15:44] Gabriella**
What a lovely idea. I agree with him.
**[15:47] Dahlia**
Madam Gabriella!
**[15:49] Gabriella**
Miss Dahlia, given the circumstances,
why not found the Rossetti Company?
**[15:54] Marcella**
If you do, I'll be one of your guarantors.
**[15:57] Dahlia**
Hold on, Mister Marcella!
What are you talking about?
**[16:01] Dahlia**
You haven't even spoken to Irma about it.
**[16:03] Marcella**
Irma would say, "Why didn't you just make
the move while you were there?" I know it.
**[16:08] Mezzena**
I'm in, too!
**[16:10] Mezzena**
If I can serve as a guarantor,
I'd very much like to!
**[16:14] Mezzena**
Ah, I haven't introduced myself.
I'm Mezzena Greave.
**[16:18] Dahlia**
Why would you do that for someone like me?
**[16:21] Mezzena**
Purely as an investment.
**[16:24] Mezzena**
After all, that waterproof fabric made
the transport business a lot easier.
**[16:29] Mezzena**
If you're going to make more stuff
like that, I'll happily invest.
**[16:32] Ivano**
I'd like to be a guarantor, as well!
**[16:35] Ivano**
I'm in this purely for profits,
so I hope you'll help me make a fortune.
**[16:39] Dominic**
Unfortunately, a notary public
cannot serve as a guarantor,
**[16:43] Dominic**
but my son or grandson could do it.
**[16:45] Gabriella**
There'll be no need for that, Mister Dominic.
**[16:49] Gabriella**
I will serve as the final guarantor,
albeit in my husband's name.
**[16:53] Ivano**
Having the guild master, Viscount Jedder,
as a guarantor? That's wonderful!
**[16:58] Gabriella**
Now, let's head to the meeting
room to bring this plan together.
**[17:01] Dahlia**
Please, wait, everyone!
**[17:03] Dahlia**
Are you really sure about this?
**[17:06] Dahlia**
It's all so sudden that I
haven't prepared anything,
**[17:09] Dahlia**
and I'm only just starting out as a magic
artificer, so there may not be much profit.
**[17:13] Ivano**
The moment you created waterproof fabric,
**[17:15] Ivano**
you were already fully qualified, Miss Dahlia!
**[17:18] Dahlia**
But still...
**[17:19] Marcella**
Think about it, Dahlia.
**[17:21] Marcella**
All those materials you said
you wanted to try...
**[17:24] Marcella**
This could be how you get them!
**[17:26] Marcella**
Things like fire or wind dragon scales!
Even sea serpent hide!
**[17:32] Ivano**
I heard a gryphon was slain
in a neighboring country.
**[17:35] Ivano**
If you create the Rossetti Company,
you might be able to get its materials.
**[17:41] Gabriella**
Now, let's go to the meeting room
to draw up the company contract.
**[17:46] Dahlia**
Let's!
**[17:51] Gabriella**
Now, Miss Dahlia,
**[17:53] Gabriella**
shall we go over how to act
more like a company chairman?
**[17:57] Dahlia**
Um, I may be the chairman,
but I'm the only one in the company.
**[18:01] Gabriella**
Yes. All the more reason.
**[18:03] Gabriella**
To prevent being underestimated based
on looks, I think it's best to dress properly.
**[18:09] Dahlia**
Really?
**[18:11] staff A**
Welcome. We've been expecting you.
**[18:14] Gabriella**
Clothes like these serves as a letter
of introduction when meeting people.
**[18:19] Gabriella**
Clothes are critical in making
a good first impression.
**[18:23] staff A**
Indeed!
**[18:24] staff A**
Miss, you simply must change
into something that suits you better!
**[18:29] staff B**
You have beautiful skin,
**[18:31] staff B**
so I think that doing your brows, eyeliner,
lipstick, and blush will be enough.
**[18:36] staff B**
Lately, more monster materials
are being used for this.
**[18:38] Dahlia**
What sorts of monster materials?
**[18:41] staff B**
Red slimes are used to make
a translucent red dye.
**[18:46] Dahlia**
I see!
**[18:47] staff B**
They've succeeded in making
it completely nontoxic.
**[18:49] Dahlia**
That's wonderful!
**[18:53] Gabriella**
Starting today,
I shall simply call you Dahlia.
**[18:55] Gabriella**
I'd like you to call me by my name, as well.
**[18:59] Gabriella**
Generally, fellow chairpersons
address each other without titles.
**[19:03] Dahlia**
All right, Madam Gabri— Gabriella!
**[19:08] Gabriella**
Oh, and I forgot to mention something.
**[19:11] Gabriella**
Have your eyes examined at a temple and
stop wearing your glasses if possible.
**[19:15] Dahlia**
What? Stop wearing glasses?
**[19:18] Gabriella**
Yes. They'll be an impediment for you.
**[19:21] Dahlia**
I understand.
**[19:23] Dahlia**
Thank you, Gabriella. Sorry to have
you do so much for me today.
**[19:27] Gabriella**
Please, don't worry. I'm simply
repaying you what I owed Carlo.
**[19:32] Dahlia**
What you owed my father?
**[19:35] Gabriella**
He was the one who introduced
me to my husband.
**[19:39] Gabriella**
So the both of us owe him a great debt.
**[19:42] Dahlia**
I hadn't heard about that.
**[19:44] Gabriella**
Carlo told me, "If Dahlia ever has trouble,
either as a magic artificer or as a woman,
**[19:49] Gabriella**
please give her advice.
**[19:51] Gabriella**
And if she never does, then keep
this a secret until the day you die."
**[19:55] Dahlia**
My father said that?
**[19:57] Gabriella**
Carlo always patiently listened to the
troubles of others and gave advice.
**[20:01] Gabriella**
Everyone relied on him.
**[20:03] Dahlia**
I had no idea. I thought he just
wandered around and drank.
**[20:08] Gabriella**
Dahlia, do you know of Carlo's hobbies?
**[20:12] Dahlia**
No. Aside from magic devices...
I guess there was booze.
**[20:17] Gabriella**
He *was* a heavy drinker, wasn't he?
**[20:19] Gabriella**
But his favorite hobby was getting people to
owe him favors, then make them keep quiet.
**[20:29] Gabriella**
Speaking of which, there was one
time when Carlo had my husband...
**[20:36] Wolf**
This concludes my report.
**[20:38] Grat**
Since you took down a wyvern,
you've earned the title of Dragon Slayer.
**[20:43] Wolf**
No, the unit wounded it first. It was
already weakened. That's why it fell.
**[20:48] Grat**
You're the one who finished it off.
There shouldn't be a problem.
**[20:52] Grat**
In fact, I'd say it's high time
you earned the title.
**[20:54] Grat**
Should I write a letter recommending
you to the royal guard?
**[20:57] Wolf**
Thank you, but no.
**[21:01] Wolf**
And the next time I'm caught by a wyvern,
please strike it down with no thought for me.
**[21:07] Grat**
You idiot!
**[21:12] Grat**
Enough of this. Take some leave
until your eyes are fully healed.
**[21:17] Wolf**
Yes, sir.
**[21:18] Wolf**
Captain, I have one favor to ask.
**[21:23] Wolf**
May I have a letter of introduction
to the Trade Guild?
**[21:27] Wolf**
I want to thank the person
who saved me with a potion.
**[21:31] Grat**
You don't know the name of their shop?
**[21:33] Wolf**
No. He said that since he
benefits from our monster hunts,
**[21:37] Wolf**
he needed no other thanks.
**[21:38] Grat**
You sure he just didn't want you
to meet his sweetheart or wife?
**[21:44] Wolf**
I... don't think that was the reason.
**[21:50] Grat**
Wait just a moment. I'll write
that introduction for you.
**[21:56] Wolf**
If Mister Dali has a sweetheart...
**[21:59] Wolf**
it should be all right if we meet at a
restaurant or tavern somewhere, right?

**[00:11] Dahlia**
I didn't know the church
could restore eyesight.
**[00:14] Dahlia**
I should have had this done sooner.
**[00:17] Dahlia**
It was a little expensive, though.
**[00:30] Wolf**
Please pardon me for
interrupting your leisure time.
**[00:33] Wolf**
Is it possible that you are
a relative of Mister Dali?
**[00:36] Dahlia**
What? Um...
**[00:39] Wolf**
Or could it be...
**[00:41] Wolf**
It's you?

**[02:17] Dahlia**
It's incredible that you
recognized me as me.
**[02:20] Wolf**
The way you averted your eyes seemed odd,
plus there's the color of them.
**[02:24] Wolf**
And the smell.
**[02:25] Dahlia**
Smell?
**[02:26] Wolf**
It's the same smell as
when I was on the cart.
**[02:29] Dahlia**
What?
**[02:31] Wolf**
May I sit with you?
**[02:33] Wolf**
Though, if you're waiting for
your sweetheart, I'll relent.
**[02:36] Dahlia**
Please, sit! I'm here alone.
**[02:43] Wolf**
I was on my way to the Trade Guild...
**[02:47] Wolf**
to look for you.
**[02:48] Dahlia**
Huh?
**[02:49] Wolf**
I planned to ask if they knew
anyone who fit the description.
**[02:52] Wolf**
I wanted to repay the cost of the
potion, and to return your coat.
**[02:56] Wolf**
So will you allow me to treat you today?
**[02:58] Dahlia**
I-I, um...
**[03:01] Wolf**
"If you see me around town, come say hi.
I'll take you up on your offer then."
**[03:09] Dahlia**
All right.
**[03:12] Wolf**
If you have this wine chilled, we'll have that.
**[03:15] Wolf**
If not, we'll have a wine
cooler. Two glasses.
**[03:18] Wolf**
Also a cheese assortment
and a baguette, please.
**[03:21] Wolf**
Miss Dali?
**[03:22] Dahlia**
Yes?
**[03:24] Wolf**
When we met in the forest, I didn't
realize you were so beautiful.
**[03:30] Dahlia**
Thank you for the lovely
conversation-starting compliment.
**[03:35] Wolf**
If you know of
conversation-starting compliments,
**[03:37] Wolf**
does that mean you're a noble, too?
**[03:39] Dahlia**
My father was an honorary baron.
**[03:41] Dahlia**
It must be tiring to have to
compliment women you don't know.
**[03:45] Wolf**
Yes, it can be difficult.
**[03:49] Wolf**
I was wondering, why were you
dressed as a man back then?
**[03:53] Dahlia**
A woman alone in the
forest isn't very safe.
**[03:56] Wolf**
That's true.
**[03:58] server; male**
Thank you for waiting.
**[04:02] Wolf**
Well, let's make a toast.
**[04:05] Wolf; Dahlia**
To our reunion.
**[04:08] Dahlia**
Are your eyes all right now?
**[04:11] Wolf**
Thankfully, I can see with perfect clarity.
**[04:13] Dahlia**
I'm glad to hear that!
**[04:17] Wolf**
That's crimson cattle.
It's very popular lately.
**[04:23] Dahlia**
It's so rich!
**[04:25] Dahlia**
To pair with this, we'd need
another wine. A red, maybe?
**[04:29] Wolf**
You're right! Let's order a red next!
**[04:34] Wolf**
You didn't get yelled at
about the coat, did you?
**[04:36] Dahlia**
No. My father has passed away.
**[04:40] Wolf**
Then it's a memento? I'm so sorry!
**[04:42] Dahlia**
Please, don't be.
**[04:44] Wolf**
I'll return it after I've washed it.
I didn't realize the lining was wyvern.
**[04:48] Dahlia**
I just stuck some leftovers inside, that's all.
**[04:50] Dahlia**
My father often caught it on things,
so I wanted to reinforce it.
**[04:53] Wolf**
Leftover wyvern?
**[04:55] Dahlia**
It was just scrap material due for
disposal! It wasn't expensive.
**[04:59] Wolf**
Miss Dali, do you work in clothing
or something to do with materials?
**[05:04] Dahlia**
I haven't introduced myself properly, have I?
**[05:08] Dahlia**
I'm Dahlia Rossetti, and I'm just
starting out as a magic artificer.
**[05:11] Wolf**
S-So I did all that talking about waterproof
fabric to an expert in the field?
**[05:16] Dahlia**
I was so happy to hear from
someone who's using it!
**[05:19] Dahlia**
You see, I'm the one who developed
that waterproof fabric.
**[05:22] Wolf**
You developed the waterproof fabric?
**[05:25] Dahlia**
Next, I'm thinking of one that will be
lighter and allow for more airflow.
**[05:29] Wolf**
That would make camping much easier!
**[05:31] Wolf**
O gods! Thank you for my
meeting with Dahlia Rossetti!
**[05:42] Wolf**
I'll go order more wine.
**[05:44] Dahlia**
Oh, I can do that!
**[05:46] Wolf**
Don't get up.
**[05:57] Tobias**
Dahlia?
**[06:04] Emilia**
Miss Dahlia!
**[06:05] Dahlia**
Huh?
**[06:06] Emilia**
I'm sorry! I've wanted to
apologize all this time.
**[06:10] Tobias**
Emilia! There's no need for that!
**[06:13] Emilia**
But it's my fault you
broke off your engagement!
**[06:15] Emilia**
I'm truly so very sorry.
**[06:17] ---**
It's not your fault, so just...
**[06:19] ---**
I'm so sorry.
**[06:21] Wolf**
Any lingering feelings?
**[06:22] Dahlia**
None at all.
**[06:26] Wolf**
Lady Dahlia.
**[06:27] Tobias; background**
Please, don't cry.
**[06:30] Wolf**
If your engagement has been broken,
**[06:32] Wolf**
then you are currently unattached, yes?
**[06:35] Wolf**
I give my thanks to the Goddess of Fortune.
**[06:37] Wolf**
As you had not accepted my invitation,
I was quite dismayed.
**[06:41] Wolf**
But now, meeting you once more
brings me heartfelt joy.
**[06:46] Tobias**
Dahlia, who is he?
**[06:48] Dahlia**
H-He's, um...
**[06:52] Wolf**
Apologies.
**[06:54] Wolf**
I am Wolfred Scalfaratto of
the Knights of the Royal Palace.
**[06:58] Tobias**
Scalfaratto?
**[07:00] Emilia**
The house of the Earl of Water?
**[07:01] Wolf**
Allow me to ask once more:
Lady Dahlia, will you accompany me?
**[07:10] Dahlia**
Thank you.
**[07:12] Wolf**
More importantly, my dealing with things
that way won't cause trouble for you, will it?
**[07:16] Wolf**
He said he was from the
Orlando Trade Company.
**[07:20] Dahlia**
No trouble at all.
**[07:22] Dahlia**
I was surprised by how
smoothly you said all that.
**[07:25] Wolf**
I didn't lie.
**[07:27] Wolf**
You turned me down at the
gates when I invited you out,
**[07:30] Wolf**
and when your cart left, I said
I wanted to speak with you again.
**[07:33] Dahlia**
I couldn't hear you over the rain.
**[07:35] Dahlia**
And I feel bad for doing what
amounts to deceiving you.
**[07:39] Wolf**
If I'd known you were a lady, I probably
would have injured my eyes further.
**[07:44] Wolf**
And I wouldn't have been
able to taste the food.
**[07:46] Wolf**
I wouldn't have been able to
enjoy that white wine, either.
**[07:50] Wolf**
Anyway, I'm worried that I've made
you come with me against your will.
**[07:54] Dahlia**
Not at all. He and I were engaged, but it
was something our fathers arranged.
**[07:58] Dahlia**
And before we got married,
he said he'd found true love.
**[08:02] Wolf**
True love? I don't think I
understand what that means.
**[08:07] Dahlia**
I'm the same.
**[08:10] Wolf**
I'm stuck with the feeling of having
good food and conversation interrupted.
**[08:13] Wolf**
Would you like to accompany
me to another place?
**[08:16] Dahlia**
Actually, I hadn't eaten my fill yet, either.
**[08:24] Wolf**
Do you mind if I activate this?
**[08:27] Dahlia**
It's an anti-eavesdropping device, isn't it?
**[08:30] Wolf**
I use it when I want to be able to speak freely.
**[08:33] Dahlia**
I'm happy you feel that way,
**[08:35] Dahlia**
but the son of an earl speaking freely?
**[08:38] Wolf**
I suppose... it's the Great Water Reforms.
**[08:40] Dahlia**
Yes, even first-years in primary
school know of that accomplishment.
**[08:45] Wolf**
I don't mean to deny my family's history,
**[08:48] Wolf**
but I didn't contribute anything to it myself.
**[08:50] Wolf**
And as the youngest, I've been left on my own,
with no one guarding or shadowing me.
**[08:55] Wolf**
I'm not comfortable with
formality. Is that all right?
**[08:59] Dahlia**
I don't know noble manners, so please
speak however it's easiest for you.
**[09:04] Wolf**
Thanks.
**[09:06] Dahlia**
How is this anti-eavesdropping
device built, I wonder?
**[09:10] Wolf**
I've heard that it covers sounds with
other sounds, so they offset each other.
**[09:14] Wolf**
Do you make things like this, too?
**[09:16] Dahlia**
I only make magical devices
used in everyday life.
**[09:20] Dahlia**
That device would fall to mages.
**[09:22] Wolf**
Is that how it goes?
**[09:26] Dahlia**
What is it?
**[09:27] Wolf**
Nothing. You just seemed so happy
looking at the magic device.
**[09:32] Dahlia**
W-Well, your manner changed so
drastically earlier. It surprised me!
**[09:37] Wolf**
I thought I could use that
to stop the conversation.
**[09:40] Wolf**
But it's exhausting to keep it up for long.
**[09:43] Wolf**
I wish my looks matched the casualness
of my personality better.
**[09:47] Dahlia**
You do look like someone a lot
of people would try to speak to.
**[09:50] Wolf**
Yes, I suppose so.
**[09:53] Wolf**
Normally, I wear a coat with a hood or glasses.
**[09:58] Wolf**
Today, I was hoping you would
find me, so I tried to stand out.
**[10:02] Dahlia**
I should have told you my name and arranged
it so you could contact me through the Guild.
**[10:08] Wolf**
I'm not criticizing you!
**[10:11] Wolf**
It's really only that I truly
wanted to speak with you again.
**[10:19] Wolf**
When you imbue a device with
magic, is it only one kind?
**[10:22] Dahlia**
Normally, it's one kind per device.
**[10:25] Dahlia**
Casting more than one kind at once falls
under the purview of mages and alchemists.
**[10:30] Wolf**
What happens with multiple types?
**[10:32] Dahlia**
I think they layer the magics on top of each
other, ensuring they won't repel each other.
**[10:38] Wolf**
I thought that maybe strengthening and
cleaning could both be cast on a sword.
**[10:42] Wolf**
And something like weight reduction, too.
**[10:45] Dahlia**
Mister Wolf!
**[10:46] Dahlia**
Can a sword's guard and
scabbard be changed out?
**[10:49] Wolf**
Yes, because sometimes they break.
**[10:51] Dahlia**
Wouldn't that mean they could
be treated as separate items?
**[10:54] Dahlia**
Couldn't you take them apart,
cast strengthening on the blade,
**[10:57] Dahlia**
add a cleaning function to the
guard with water or wind magic,
**[11:00] Dahlia**
and cast weight-reducing
magic on the scabbard,
**[11:02] Dahlia**
then put it all back together?
**[11:04] Wolf**
That sounds amazing! It'd be
like a fabricated magic sword!
**[11:10] Wolf**
And it would make things
easier for my unit.
**[11:13] Dahlia**
You really love magic swords, don't you?
**[11:16] Wolf**
Yeah.
**[11:16] Wolf**
Things like magic swords and magic-imbued
weapons have such dreams attached to them.
**[11:20] Wolf**
Even just thinking about them is fun.
**[11:22] Dahlia**
I'm the same! I love magic devices so much
that just thinking about them is fun!
**[11:30] Wolf**
Would it be all right
if I called you "Dahlia"?
**[11:32] Wolf**
I'd like for you to call me Wolf.
**[11:34] Dahlia**
I don't mind if you call me that,
but calling you that will be difficult.
**[11:38] Wolf**
I'll have a notary public draw up papers that
say nothing you call me will be disrespectful.
**[11:43] Dahlia**
You're joking, right?
**[11:45] Wolf**
I'm from the House of Scalfaratto,
**[11:48] Wolf**
but I can't use the five fundamental
magics, let alone water magic.
**[11:51] Wolf**
One day, I'll be living in
town with everyone else.
**[11:54] Wolf**
You could say this is practice for that.
**[11:57] Wolf**
Never mind that.
**[11:58] Wolf**
If I brought you a sword,
could you test that imbuing of magic?
**[12:01] Dahlia**
Let's start with an
inexpensive short sword.
**[12:04] Dahlia**
And as for your name, for now....
**[12:07] Dahlia**
I'll use it when it's just the two of us, Wolf.
**[12:12] Wolf**
I'm glad to know you,
magic artificer Dahlia.
**[12:20] Dahlia**
You ended up walking me all
the way home. I live there.
**[12:24] Wolf**
I've seen it from afar.
**[12:26] Wolf**
That's your house?
**[12:28] Dahlia**
People call it the Green Tower.
**[12:31] Dahlia**
Long ago, there was a wall for
the royal palace near here.
**[12:34] Dahlia**
When they tore it down, my grandfather was
allowed to take the stones, and he built this.
**[12:37] Wolf**
It's a house fit for a magic artificer.
**[12:41] Wolf**
Here.
**[12:43] Dahlia**
That's too much!
**[12:44] Wolf**
No, I'd like you to accept it.
**[12:47] Wolf**
If you don't, my unit will get mad at me.
**[12:50] Dahlia**
All right.
**[12:52] Wolf**
May I come the day after
tomorrow to return your coat?
**[12:55] Wolf**
When I do, would you like to go to the magic
device shop in the north district with me?
**[12:59] Dahlia**
Yes, I'd like that!
**[13:00] Wolf**
I'll come before noon.
**[13:02] Wolf**
The shop is in the noble quarter.
It's called the Right Eye of the Goddess.
**[13:05] Dahlia**
You can't enter that shop
without an invitation.
**[13:09] Wolf**
I'll be there with you,
so we'll be able to go in.
**[13:12] Dahlia**
All right.
**[13:14] Dahlia**
Goodnight. Sweet dreams.
**[13:20] Wolf**
Goodnight, Dahlia. Sweet dreams.
**[13:27] (Flashback) Dahlia**
Honestly! Why do you leave
your clothes everywhere?
**[13:30] (Flashback) Dahlia**
Haven't I asked you to hang your things
up after you've taken them off?
**[13:33] (Flashback) Carlo**
Yeah, sorry.
**[13:35] (Flashback) Dahlia**
You're so slovenly in everything
that isn't your work.
**[13:50] Gabriella**
You had a dream like that?
**[13:52] Gabriella**
It sounds just like Carlo.
**[13:53] Gabriella**
I'm certain he must be
exasperating the gods right now.
**[13:57] Dahlia**
It may be because I drank
ale with Lord Wolfred.
**[14:01] Gabriella**
That gentleman certainly
does catch one's eye.
**[14:04] Gabriella**
He's famous even among the nobility.
**[14:06] Dahlia**
I think I understand why.
**[14:08] Gabriella**
And you'll be going somewhere
with Lord Scalfaratto?
**[14:11] Dahlia**
He said he'd take me to the
Right Eye of the Goddess.
**[14:15] Gabriella**
They deal in magic devices meant for nobles,
so I think it will be educational.
**[14:19] Gabriella**
Take care on your excursion.
**[14:21] Dahlia**
I will.
**[14:32] Dahlia**
Good morning!
**[14:34] Dahlia**
If I recall correctly,
we were meeting before noon?
**[14:37] Wolf**
I left early because it's a
bit of distance to cover,
**[14:39] Wolf**
and then I seem to have
walked very quickly.
**[14:42] Dahlia**
I'll go and get ready.
Would you mind waiting a moment?
**[14:45] Wolf**
It's my own fault for arriving too early.
**[14:48] Wolf**
Here's the coat I borrowed.
**[14:50] Wolf**
Thank you so much.
**[14:52] Dahlia**
I'm glad it was useful to you.
**[15:03] Dahlia**
I'm all right. I can get down by myself.
**[15:06] Wolf**
I did it reflexively. I'm so sorry.
**[15:09] Dahlia**
No, if that's the case, then thank you.
**[15:15] Wolf**
I think I'll switch to glasses now,
though they don't have much of an effect.
**[15:20] girl 1**
Look! Isn't he gorgeous?
**[15:21] girl 2**
Is that Lord Wolfred?
Wait, who is that with him?
**[15:24] girl 2**
Why would he be with...
**[15:25] Wolf**
I'm sorry.
**[15:26] Dahlia**
It doesn't bother me.
**[15:28] Wolf**
Shall we go?
**[15:35] Wolf**
The owner of the Right Eye of the Goddess
is both a magic artificer and a baron.
**[15:40] Dahlia**
Really? What's his name?
**[15:42] Wolf**
Oswald Zola.
**[15:44] Dahlia**
He developed the cold wind
delivery device, didn't he?
**[15:47] Dahlia**
My father taught me about that.
**[15:48] Wolf**
I had no idea.
**[15:50] Dahlia**
That magic device has existed
since I was a child.
**[15:52] Dahlia**
He's been a magic artificer
for quite a long time.
**[15:56] Wolf**
Within the shop, we abide by the
way of the nobility, Lady Dahlia.
**[15:59] Wolf**
Will you permit me to escort you?
**[16:01] Dahlia**
If you would, please.
**[16:09] Oswald**
Welcome and thank you for
coming, Lord Wolfred.
**[16:13] Oswald**
And what a beautiful young
lady you have with you.
**[16:16] Wolf**
Lady Dahlia Rossetti. A magic artificer
to whom I am deeply indebted.
**[16:20] Oswald**
I am Oswald Zola.
Please, call me Oswald.
**[16:25] Dahlia**
I am Dahlia Rossetti.
**[16:27] Dahlia**
As I'm just starting out,
I would appreciate your tutelage.
**[16:30] Oswald**
Pardon me for asking, but was
your father Lord Carlo Rossetti?
**[16:35] Dahlia**
You knew my father?
**[16:37] Oswald**
Yes, from secondary school.
**[16:39] Oswald**
I saw him at gatherings
of barons as well, but...
**[16:43] Oswald**
I hope you don't find
yourself too disheartened.
**[16:46] Dahlia**
Thank you.
**[16:48] Oswald**
Please, look around at
your leisure, both of you.
**[16:54] Wolf**
That's a new anti-eavesdropping
device, isn't it?
**[16:57] Oswald**
It's fashioned as a set of cufflinks.
**[17:00] Oswald**
It's also possible to match
the color to your wardrobe.
**[17:03] Dahlia**
A tri-casting of anti-poison,
anti-petrification, and anti-confusion?
**[17:08] Oswald**
Many people such as knights and
adventurers seek lighter items,
**[17:12] Oswald**
so we have an alchemist
create those for us.
**[17:16] Dahlia**
That's a fairy crystal lamp, isn't it?
**[17:19] Oswald**
It uses a magic crystal matrix.
**[17:21] Oswald**
And perhaps to help the
fairies hide themselves,
**[17:24] Oswald**
it has a perception-blocking effect.
**[17:29] Dahlia**
My father once imbued the window
in my room with fairy crystal magic.
**[17:34] Oswald**
I see.
**[17:35] Dahlia**
Three gold coins went missing in one day.
**[17:37] Dahlia**
It made me realize how difficult it was, even
for my father, who'd made a fairy crystal lamp.
**[17:46] Oswald**
I've grown much too absorbed in
our conversation, Lady Dahlia.
**[17:49] Oswald**
Please forgive me.
**[17:51] Dahlia**
I-I'm sorry!
**[17:53] Oswald**
Lord Wolfred, would you like to see
the support accessories you ordered?
**[17:58] Wolf**
Yes, please.
**[18:00] Oswald**
A chain anklet with anti-poison,
anemia prevention,
**[18:04] Oswald**
as well as anti-petrification
and anti-confusion. Two in total.
**[18:07] Oswald**
We can adjust the sizing in
the other room if you'd like.
**[18:10] Wolf**
Yes.
**[18:11] Wolf**
Lady Dahlia, I'll be right back.
**[18:18] Oswald**
Lady Dahlia.
**[18:20] Oswald**
From now on, please use this.
**[18:23] Dahlia**
What is it?
**[18:24] Oswald**
With this, you may come
here whenever you please.
**[18:29] Dahlia**
Why are you giving this to me?
**[18:31] Oswald**
I owe a debt to Mister Carlo.
**[18:34] Oswald**
He once said, "If my daughter
ever comes to your shop,
**[18:37] Oswald**
I hope you'll show her your magic devices."
**[18:40] Oswald**
"But if she never does, then keep
it a secret until you die."
**[18:44] Dahlia**
My father said that?
**[18:45] Oswald**
I'm so glad to have met you.
**[18:48] Oswald**
When I make my way to the other side, I can
tell Mister Carlo that I've repaid my debt.
**[18:54] Dahlia**
May I ask about that?
**[18:58] Oswald**
When I was young, my wife eloped with a worker
from this shop and took our money with her.
**[19:04] Oswald**
As I was debating whether I should close
the shop or take on a large amount of debt,
**[19:09] Oswald**
Mister Carlo came by.
**[19:11] Dahlia**
I see.
**[19:12] Oswald**
He took me drinking at a little stall.
**[19:15] Dahlia**
Did he?
**[19:17] Oswald**
The two of us had a grand time,
each with an ale in hand.
**[19:20] Oswald**
I told him absolutely everything.
**[19:23] Oswald**
That my wife had left me.
That she'd taken our money with her.
**[19:28] Oswald**
Then, Mister Carlo lectured me.
**[19:32] (Flashback) Carlo**
Let me teach you the best thing
to do at times like this!
**[19:35] (Flashback) Carlo**
Find a new woman!
**[19:38] Dahlia**
A new woman?
**[19:40] Oswald**
He bragged about how he had a
beloved young lady of his own.
**[19:44] Dahlia**
*What sort of boast is that?*
**[19:48] Oswald**
After having quite a lot to drink,
he invited me to the Green Tower.
**[19:54] Oswald**
I met a little girl there.
**[19:57] Oswald**
"A beloved young lady." He wasn't wrong.
**[20:01] Oswald**
And it made me laugh.
**[20:06] Oswald**
So you see, I met you
when you were very young.
**[20:11] Oswald**
He said his daughter was prone to heat rashes
because a lack of airflow made the tower hot,
**[20:15] Oswald**
and that since he'd treated me to alcohol,
I should come up with a magic device for that.
**[20:19] Oswald**
The device I made was the
cold wind delivery device.
**[20:23] Oswald**
Thanks to that, I was able to rebuild my shop.
**[20:27] Oswald**
It's unfortunate that I was only able to drink
with Mister Carlo at the barons' gatherings.
**[20:32] Oswald**
Had I known this would happen,
I would have invited him out myself.
**[20:36] Oswald**
Though, perhaps it was only I
and not he who felt this way.
**[20:41] Dahlia**
Not at all.
**[20:42] Dahlia**
In the summer, my father would drink in
front of the cold wind delivery device.
**[20:47] (Flashback) Carlo**
Gratitude to Oswald Zola!
**[20:50] Dahlia**
I'm certain he did that to feel
like he was drinking with you—
**[20:54] Dahlia**
with his friend, Mister Oswald.
**[20:57] Oswald**
Mister Carlo did that?
**[21:01] Oswald**
Mister Carlo...
**[21:04] Oswald**
Pardon me.
**[21:08] Oswald**
Thank you.
**[21:10] Oswald**
A weight has been lifted from my heart.
**[21:13] Dahlia**
No, thank you. It made me happy
to hear stories of my father.
**[21:16] Oswald**
Please come to my shop again one day.
**[21:20] Dahlia**
I will.
**[21:29] Dahlia**
My father's handwriting.
**[21:32] Dahlia**
He'd always leave his coat
wherever he took it off.
**[21:35] Dahlia**
Even if I polished his
shoes, he never noticed.
**[21:38] Dahlia**
No matter how many times I warned
him, he always drank too much.
**[21:42] Dahlia**
And I told him so many
times to sleep in his bed.
**[21:46] Wolf**
Dahlia?
**[21:51] Dahlia**
It's not fair to show me your
good side after you're gone.

**[00:01] Dahlia**
I'm truly sorry to have caused
you so much trouble.
**[00:05] Wolf**
Please, don't worry about it.
So that's what happened?
**[00:09] Dahlia**
Yes. I never imagined I'd hear stories
about my father in a shop like that.
**[00:14] Dahlia**
And it's already been a year since he passed...
**[00:17] Wolf**
Maybe it's more like it's *only* been a year.
**[00:19] Wolf**
This is difficult to ask after all that,
**[00:23] Wolf**
but if possible, would you allow me to
accompany you to that shop in the future?
**[00:26] Dahlia**
Is it because I did something inappropriate?
**[00:29] Wolf**
No, but you and Oswald seemed to get on
very well, and the way he treated you...
**[00:34] Wolf**
I fear my introducing you may have created
an opportunity for your father to despise me.
**[00:39] Dahlia**
You're saying...
**[00:41] Wolf**
As a noble, he has no qualms with
taking multiple marriage partners.
**[00:44] Wolf**
He already has two wives around your age.
**[00:47] Wolf**
I'm afraid he may try to woo you, as well.
**[00:51] Dahlia**
That's not happening!

Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools
**[02:23] Wolf**
Is there anything in particular
you'd like for lunch?
***SIGN*** Episode 6: Fairy Crystal Eyeglasses
**[02:26] Dahlia**
How about an ale from a roadside
stall in the central district?
**[02:30] Wolf**
That sounds great.
And the weather's nice. I'm all for it!
**[02:35] Dahlia**
Do you like porchetta?
**[02:38] Wolf**
I've never had it from a roadside stall.
It smells delicious.
**[02:41] Dahlia**
Then I'll go get us some.
**[02:44] Wolf**
In that case, I'll go buy the ale.
**[02:53] Dahlia**
Both the porchetta and
the crespelle look delicious!
**[02:57] Wolf**
They do.
**[02:58] Wolf**
Oh, right. Here.
**[03:02] Wolf**
When we eat together,
I'd appreciate it if you'd wear this.
**[03:06] Wolf**
If anyone did something terrible
to your food in order to hurt me...
**[03:12] Dahlia**
But don't you need this?
**[03:14] Wolf**
I've built a resistance to most things,
and I'm wearing my anklet.
**[03:18] Dahlia**
In that case, I will borrow it.
**[03:21] Wolf**
If you wanted to keep it for research
into multi-casting, I wouldn't mind.
**[03:30] Wolf**
I might like this even better than
what you get in a restaurant!
**[03:33] Dahlia**
I'm so glad.
**[03:35] Dahlia**
My father loved them,
so I grew to like them, too.
**[03:39] Wolf**
Shall we get another round?
What about a red ale next?
**[03:42] Dahlia**
Sounds good! I'll go get it.
**[03:45] Wolf**
No, I can—
**[03:46] Dahlia**
Don't worry about it. I'll be right back.
**[03:50] Wolf**
Now she feels like she has to accommodate me...
**[03:52] Wolf**
Looking like this, I guess it makes sense.
**[03:54] boy**
Mom, hurry up!
**[03:57] mom**
Don't rush, now.
**[03:59] boy**
I'm going first!
**[04:08] Dahlia**
Please stop. I have no
intention of accompanying you.
**[04:11] man**
Come on. Come with me.
**[04:12] Dahlia**
Please let go of my wrist.
**[04:14] Dahlia**
If you don't, I will defend myself.
**[04:17] man**
Why don't you try it? I'm sure any fight
you put up is bound to be adorable.
**[04:25] Wolf**
Dahlia!
**[04:35] man**
You're a mage?!
**[04:36] Dahlia**
I'm a magic artificer.
**[04:39] Dahlia**
I'm terribly sorry for the trouble.
**[04:41] stall woman**
Not at all! I'm sorry we couldn't stop him.
**[04:45] stall woman**
You're pretty amazing!
**[04:47] stall woman**
Here's a sample for two on the house.
**[04:50] stall woman**
Next time, come and buy something
with your boyfriend over there.
**[04:54] Dahlia**
Huh?
**[04:55] Dahlia**
Thank you. My friend and I
will come together next time.
**[04:59] Wolf**
Let me carry those.
**[05:01] stall woman**
Keep it up, young man!
**[05:04] Wolf**
Thank you...
**[05:07] Wolf**
I'm really sorry.
I should have gone after all.
**[05:10] Dahlia**
Please don't worry about it.
**[05:12] Dahlia**
I've been wanting to test
this freezing ring anyway.
**[05:16] Wolf**
It was pretty powerful.
**[05:18] Dahlia**
Perhaps this could be used to
add freezing magic to a sword.
**[05:23] Wolf**
That sounds great!
**[05:24] Wolf**
I'll get a short sword from a
weapon shop on the way back.
**[05:27] Dahlia**
May I go with you?
**[05:29] Dahlia**
My father never let me go to a weapon shop,
so I've always wanted to see one.
**[05:33] Wolf**
That's surprising.
**[05:34] Wolf**
Given the image I have of him,
I figured he would have encouraged you.
**[05:38] Dahlia**
Back when I was attending the academy,
I got burned by a slime.
**[05:42] Wolf**
Oh, was this while you were
developing waterproof fabric?
**[05:45] Dahlia**
Yes.
**[05:45] Dahlia**
Ordinarily, I'd have used a
glass spatula to stir it,
**[05:48] Dahlia**
but my mind wandered,
and I mixed it by hand instead.
**[05:52] Dahlia**
It was a black slime.
**[05:53] Wolf**
A black slime?!
**[05:55] Dahlia**
It has numbing venom.
**[05:58] Dahlia**
Thanks to that, it didn't hurt at all,
**[06:01] Dahlia**
but my father wrapped my hand in a sheet
and carried me straight to a church.
**[06:05] Dahlia**
So I didn't really know how
bad the burn was, either.
**[06:09] Wolf**
Dahlia, what kind of donation
did the church ask for?
**[06:12] Dahlia**
Um, I'm pretty sure it was two gold coins.
**[06:16] Wolf**
Then it was no burn. For that much,
your bones were probably visible.
**[06:20] Dahlia**
What?
**[06:21] Wolf**
Some people die of shock
upon seeing such severe injuries.
**[06:24] Wolf**
Your father never let you look at it, did he?
**[06:27] Wolf**
Slimes even take out knights sometimes.
**[06:30] Wolf**
Black slimes are resistant
to fire, water, and wind,
**[06:34] Wolf**
so they're especially difficult to remove.
**[06:36] Dahlia**
I see... I didn't know they had such traits.
**[06:39] Wolf**
Dahlia, I didn't mean to talk about all that.
**[06:43] Wolf**
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gotten so serious.
**[06:46] Dahlia**
No, it's all right.
I'm simply reflecting on my actions.
**[06:50] Wolf**
I'm only just now understanding...
**[06:53] Wolf**
how you must have felt when
I spoke of the Scarlet Armor.
**[07:00] Wolf**
So when I get worried,
I get rambling and critical?
**[07:06] Wolf**
You aren't doing dangerous
things like that now, are you?
**[07:09] Dahlia**
No, I'm not.
**[07:12] Dahlia**
Help yourself. Consider it thanks for today.
**[07:16] Wolf**
Why did I never know of this before now?
**[07:18] Wolf**
It's so incredibly delicious!
**[07:20] Dahlia**
As long as you have cheese, wine,
and bread, you can make it.
**[07:24] Wolf**
Then maybe I can try it while camped out.
**[07:26] Dahlia**
What do you usually eat while on a campaign?
**[07:28] Wolf**
We're fairly well supplied.
It's all very healthy and...
**[07:32] Dahlia**
You didn't have to wash the dishes.
**[07:35] Wolf**
It's all right. I'm used to it from camping.
**[07:38] Dahlia**
Do you have to worry about a curfew?
**[07:41] Dahlia**
If you don't, then I could
open another bottle.
**[07:45] Wolf**
There aren't any regulations about it...
**[07:47] Wolf**
But, to be honest, I'm of two minds.
**[07:50] Wolf**
Part of me wants to talk more,
**[07:53] Wolf**
and part of me doesn't want to impose.
**[07:55] Dahlia**
I really don't mind.
**[07:57] Wolf**
I know it's odd to say after you've already let
me in, but I don't think you're wary enough.
**[08:03] Dahlia**
That's not true.
**[08:04] Wolf**
In that case, tie me up and toss me out.
**[08:08] Wolf**
You stay in the tower and I'll be outside.
We can talk through an open window.
**[08:12] Dahlia**
Are you planning on shouting
the whole conversation?
**[08:14] Wolf**
As long as I can have a nice, long chat
with you, I don't care how it happens.
**[08:18] Dahlia**
If that's the case, just behave
yourself and stay here.
**[08:21] Wolf**
But I really think...
**[08:22] Dahlia**
I'll have you know I'm perfectly wary.
**[08:25] Dahlia**
But, you wouldn't think
to flirt with me, would you?
**[08:29] Wolf**
No, I wouldn't.
**[08:30] Dahlia**
It's the same for me.
That's why I invited you in.
**[08:34] Wolf**
I'm sorry.
**[08:35] Wolf**
The truth is, I wasn't sure whether to be happy
or not when you said I didn't have to leave.
**[08:41] Dahlia**
I'm sorry, too.
**[08:43] Dahlia**
I didn't think you were, but I did consider
that you might be dangerous.
**[08:47] Dahlia**
I've always been more absorbed
in magic devices than romance.
**[08:51] Dahlia**
I've never really been the type for it.
**[08:54] Wolf**
Really? I'm the same way.
**[08:57] Dahlia**
Then shall we continue to be friends
who talk about magic devices and swords?
**[09:02] Wolf**
Yes, I'd love that.
**[09:05] Wolf**
The truth is, you're the first woman
I've been able to speak with like this.
**[09:09] Wolf**
And there aren't many
people I can call friends.
**[09:11] Dahlia**
Really?
**[09:13] Dahlia**
Being a noble does seem like it would
make one cautious about relationships.
**[09:16] Wolf**
Well, in my case, my friendships tend to
collapse because of issues involving women.
**[09:22] Dahlia**
I'm sure standing out visually the way
you do makes things difficult.
**[09:25] Wolf**
A girl a friend of mine liked turned out to be
in love with me, and our friendship fell apart.
**[09:31] Wolf**
Another friend's girlfriend declared she
loved me, and our friendship fell apart.
**[09:37] Wolf**
Another friend's little sister kept making
moves on me, even though she had a fiancé.
**[09:41] Wolf**
When I turned her down,
she lied and said *I'd* pursued *her*.
**[09:44] Wolf**
My friend believed her and punched me.
Our friendship fell apart.
**[09:48] Dahlia**
Just how many times has this happened?
**[09:51] Wolf**
These days, I attend parties with a dowager
duchess, and we help protect each other.
**[09:59] Dahlia**
Is she a relative of yours?
**[10:01] Wolf**
No. My mother was a knight who
served in the lady's husband's guard.
**[10:06] Dahlia**
Wouldn't you say she's a friend, then?
**[10:09] Wolf**
We aren't related by blood,
but she's like an aunt...
**[10:12] Wolf**
or a teacher who taught me
about being a noble.
**[10:15] Wolf**
She's always looked out for me.
**[10:20] Dahlia**
Do you really hate your own face that much?
**[10:24] Wolf**
Yes. I loathe it.
**[10:26] Wolf**
At the church, I was told my eyes
are a blessing from the gods.
**[10:30] Wolf**
They say golden eyes attract people's favor.
**[10:34] Wolf**
But I think what they meant was "greed."
**[10:37] Dahlia**
If you could hide your eyes
from others, would you do so?
**[10:41] Wolf**
Of course I would. You know,
you speak like a witch sometimes.
**[10:45] Dahlia**
Would you come with me for a moment?
You can bring your drink if you like.
**[10:50] Wolf**
What's going on?
**[10:53] Dahlia**
I'm not a witch. I'm a magic artificer.
**[10:57] Dahlia**
So I might be able to grant your wish,
if only a little, with a magic device.
**[11:02] Wolf**
Glasses?
**[11:04] Dahlia**
Yes.
**[11:06] Dahlia**
I'll try imbuing them with this fairy crystal.
**[11:10] Wolf**
A fairy crystal? Like that lamp
we saw at the shop today?
**[11:13] Dahlia**
Yes. Fairy crystal has the
ability to block perception.
**[11:18] Dahlia**
I think it'll be able to change
the way others see your eyes.
**[11:21] Wolf**
I'm grateful, but won't that be difficult?
**[11:24] Dahlia**
Yes, so expect the likelihood
of failure to be high.
**[11:28] Dahlia**
I'm sorry to say so after
bringing you down here,
**[11:31] Dahlia**
but please think of this as an experiment.
**[11:34] Wolf**
May I watch from here?
**[11:36] Dahlia**
Yes, that'd be fine.
**[11:43] Dahlia**
I'll get started.
**[11:54] Dahlia**
*If the fairy crystal isn't properly aligned,*
**[11:56] Dahlia**
* the perception blocking will*
* affect both sides of the lens,*
**[11:59] Dahlia**
*and they won't work as glasses.*
**[12:04] (Flashback) Carlo**
Dahlia, you must speak with the
materials as you cast with them.
**[12:08] (Flashback) Dahlia**
Speak with them?
**[12:10] (Flashback) Carlo**
Yes.
**[12:11] (Flashback) Carlo**
Ask where they want to go,
what angle they prefer...
**[12:15] (Flashback) Carlo**
If you do that, sometimes you and the magic
device or material will understand each other.
**[12:23] fairy**
What is your wish?
**[12:25] Dahlia; internal**
* I want, for his sake, for his*
* eyes to be less conspicuous.*
**[12:30] fairy**
Why is that your wish?
**[12:33] fairy**
They're so pretty, and you'd hide them?
**[12:35] Dahlia; internal**
*I want to protect him from greed and malice.*
**[12:44] Dahlia; internal**
* I want you to protect him,*
* to protect Wolf, so he can smile.*
**[12:49] Dahlia; internal**
*I don't want him to get hurt.*
**[12:52] fairy**
We'll protect him for you as long
as you get us to the rainbow.
**[13:19] Wolf**
Dahlia!
**[13:21] Wolf**
Maybe it would be best to take a break.
**[13:23] Dahlia**
Quiet.
**[13:29] Dahlia; internal**
*It was... a success?*
**[13:32] Dahlia; internal**
* In that case, I have to do the*
* other before I lose focus.*
**[13:57] Dahlia**
All right.
**[14:01] Dahlia**
Wolf.
**[14:03] Dahlia**
Please try these on.
**[14:07] Wolf**
I can see everything clearly.
Nothing is too bright.
**[14:10] Dahlia**
Now please look in the mirror.
**[14:14] Dahlia**
What do you think?
**[14:16] Wolf**
Is this...
**[14:17] Dahlia**
I'm sorry. A little of my father's image snuck in.
**[14:22] Dahlia**
With those, do you think you'll be able
to walk through town without a hood?
**[14:26] Wolf**
Yes, I think I will.
**[14:30] Wolf**
Thank you!
**[14:32] Wolf**
I must thank you appropriately
for what these are worth.
**[14:34] Wolf**
I don't care what price you name!
**[14:36] Dahlia**
Oh, I couldn't! Those are a prototype
made with leftover materials.
**[14:40] Dahlia**
Please, raise your head.
**[14:44] Wolf**
If you made a new pair,
how much would it cost?
**[14:47] Dahlia**
The glasses with lenses plus creation costs
would come to around three large silvers.
**[14:52] Dahlia**
But given that the fairy glass
costs three gold coins...
**[14:56] Wolf**
All right. I'll have it for you soon.
**[14:58] Dahlia**
No! As I said, those are a prototype.
**[15:02] Dahlia**
Would you prefer to have a
second pair just in case?
**[15:05] Wolf**
I'd be happy to have another pair,
**[15:07] Wolf**
but I don't want you to have
to go through all that again.
**[15:11] Dahlia**
When you have to fight a monster twice,
**[15:13] Dahlia**
isn't the second time easier?
**[15:16] Wolf**
Yes, it is.
**[15:18] Dahlia**
Making magic devices is the same way.
**[15:20] Dahlia**
And unlike fighting monsters,
if I fail, I simply fall unconscious.
**[15:25] Dahlia; internal**
*Though I'm nearly out of magical energy...*
**[15:29] Dahlia**
It was a success! Shall we make a toast?
**[15:32] Dahlia**
Yes!
**[15:42] Wolf; internal**
* At last, I feel I've gotten used*
* to this one section of the capital.*
**[15:53] Wolf; internal**
*I came here without thinking.*
**[16:02] (Flashback) guard**
Don't let him get away!
**[16:03] (Flashback) guard 2**
Stay alert!
**[16:07] Wolf; internal**
* My mother rushed into battle to protect*
* her friends and me when I was younger.*
**[16:13] Wolf; internal**
*She died.*
**[16:16] Wolf; internal**
* After losing her, I grew up*
* in an unstable environment.*
**[16:19] Wolf; internal**
* The way people looked*
* at me began to change.*
**[16:22] Wolf; internal**
* I devoted myself to the sword*
* in an effort to break free.*
**[16:24] Wolf; internal**
* After joining the monster suppression force,*
* the unit least concerned with social standing,*
**[16:29] Wolf; internal**
*things got a little easier for me.*
**[16:31] Wolf; internal**
* Even now, with relationships and a life*
* that are good enough for what they are,*
**[16:36] Wolf; internal**
* like a blessing and a curse,*
* I still have the same dream.*
**[16:43] Wolf; internal**
* If I had a magic sword, would I be*
* able to save my mother in that dream?*
**[16:49] Wolf; internal**
* Even if all I inherited was her appearance*
* and not her outstanding magic?*
**[16:59] Wolf**
*Dahlia really is incredible.*
**[17:04] Wolf**
* We've only met three times,*
* and she's changed my life.*
**[17:09] Wolf**
* Her face as an artisan, serious,*
* covered in sweat, makeup coming off,*
**[17:13] Wolf**
*is the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.*
**[17:15] Wolf; internal**
*But this isn't love.*
**[17:18] Wolf; internal**
*She doesn't want that.*
**[17:20] Wolf; internal**
* I want to stay by her side with*
* simple camaraderie and respect,*
**[17:25] Wolf; internal**
*as one of her friends.*
**[17:27] Wolf; internal**
*And I'll do all I can to make that happen.*
**[17:33] Ireneo**
I've heard everything.
**[17:35] Ireneo**
You made quite a mess while I was away.
**[17:38] Tobias**
I'm sorry.
**[17:39] Ireneo**
Tobias, what was it about
Dahlia you were unhappy with?
**[17:43] Tobias**
For me, Emilia was just...
**[17:45] Ireneo**
If it's just a matter of taste
in women, then so be it,
**[17:47] Ireneo**
but don't count on getting
any ties to the nobility.
**[17:51] Tobias**
What do you mean?
**[17:53] Ireneo**
Emilia is the child of the previous Viscount
Tallini's younger brother and a maid.
**[17:59] Ireneo**
The viscount's family paid her
a tidy sum at the time.
**[18:02] Ireneo**
Officially, they've cut all ties.
**[18:05] Ireneo**
Here's proof.
**[18:10] Tobias**
I don't care. Emilia is still Emilia.
**[18:13] Ireneo**
If you don't mind,
then neither do I. However...
**[18:17] Ireneo**
don't underestimate the nobility.
**[18:19] Ireneo**
If you get embroiled in some
controversy with her house,
**[18:21] Ireneo**
it will be the end of our company.
**[18:23] Tobias**
Surely you're exaggerating!
**[18:25] Ireneo**
Did ever you learn why our father and
Carlo wanted you to marry Dahlia?
**[18:31] Tobias**
No...
**[18:32] Ireneo**
Then it's time you did.
It may sound harsh, but I'll tell you.
**[18:36] Ireneo**
It was our father who asked
Carlo for the marriage.
**[18:41] Ireneo**
Because there isn't anyone here who
can carry you as a magic artificer.
**[18:46] Tobias**
That can't be...
Then why would Master agree to it?
**[18:50] Ireneo**
Self-interest on his part.
**[18:52] Ireneo**
A skilled magic artificer with no family
would be a constant target for unsavory types.
**[18:57] Ireneo**
So they contrived a way
**[18:59] Ireneo**
for our company to protect you both
so that you wouldn't stand out.
**[19:03] Tobias**
But that means I was basically just a
smokescreen for Dahlia the magic artificer!
**[19:08] Tobias**
It didn't have to be me. Anyone could've...
**[19:10] Ireneo**
Carlo often said...
**[19:13] (Flashback) Carlo**
Tobias is an earnest fellow.
**[19:15] (Flashback) Carlo**
He does good, conscientious work.
**[19:18] (Flashback) Carlo**
He was born into a merchant family,
**[19:19] (Flashback) Carlo**
but with hard work,
he's become a magic artificer.
**[19:23] (Flashback) Carlo**
He'll be a better one than me one day.
**[19:25] (Flashback) Carlo**
I can't wait to see what kind
of magic devices he'll make!
**[19:29] Ireneo**
He wanted you and Dahlia,
as fellow magic artisans,
**[19:34] Ireneo**
to support each other all your lives.
**[19:37] Carlo**
Why didn't anyone... Father and
Master never told me any of this.
**[19:42] Ireneo**
If they had, you wouldn't have married
Dahlia out of sheer stubbornness.
**[19:47] Ireneo**
And I'm just as guilty
for not stopping any of it.
**[19:50] Ireneo**
So let's shoulder the responsibility
for scrapping their promise together.
**[20:00] Wolf**
I'm sorry for dropping in on you.
**[20:02] Wolf**
I wanted to deliver payment for the glasses,
**[20:04] Wolf**
and this, as soon as I could.
**[20:08] Dahlia**
"Dahlia Rossetti, as a
friend of equal standing,
**[20:11] Dahlia**
may speak freely and never
be charged with disrespect."
**[20:16] Dahlia**
I never dreamed you'd
actually have this drawn up.
**[20:18] Wolf**
After consideration, I thought it best
to have it done properly by a notary.
**[20:23] Wolf**
I consulted Mister Dominic
and asked him to handle it.
**[20:26] Dahlia**
Thank you.
**[20:28] Wolf**
That's what I want to say.
**[20:31] Wolf**
Truly, Dahlia, thank you
from the bottom of my heart.
**[20:36] Wolf**
Between the capital and here,
I didn't feel anyone looking at me.
**[20:40] Wolf**
No one asked my name.
No one treated me with hostility.
**[20:44] Wolf**
It's the first time I've walked so freely!
**[20:46] Dahlia**
I'm glad.
**[20:48] Dahlia**
I shouldn't keep you standing while
we talk. Would you like a cup of tea?
**[20:52] Wolf**
No, from your appearance,
you're working, aren't you?
**[20:55] Wolf**
I don't want to get in the way.
**[20:57] Wolf**
I'll come another time.
**[20:59] Dahlia**
All right.
**[21:07] Dahlia**
Then...
**[21:08] Dahlia**
next time, shall we try
casting on the short sword?
**[21:13] Wolf**
Yes! I'm really looking forward to it!

* Sometimes people make fun of me*
* for being "just a magic artisan."*
**[21:25] Dahlia; internal**
*I can't use showy magics like mages can.*
**[21:29] Dahlia; internal**
* I can't make rare metals or recovery*
* potions like an alchemist can.*
**[21:34] Dahlia; internal**
*Development is done through trial and error,*
**[21:37] Dahlia; internal**
* and even if you create a good magic device,*
* there's no guarantee anyone will need it.*
**[21:41] Dahlia; internal**
* Even so, the magic devices I make might come*
* in handy for someone, or make them smile.*
**[21:48] Dahlia; internal**
* "Seeing that moment is so much*

**[21:52] Dahlia; internal**

*And today was that day.*

*I'm sorry this is so sudden.*
**[00:03] Wolf**
*I've been scheduled to deploy on a campaign.*
**[00:06] Wolf**
* I hope you'll allow me to keep*
* our promise at a later date.*
**[00:13] Dahlia**
* This kraken tape is working nicely!*
* There may be even more ways to use it.*
**[00:28] Dahlia**
*I hope Wolf's all right.*
**[00:38] Dahlia**
Oh, dear.
**[00:42] Dahlia**
Ah, it's solid ice...
**[00:49] Dahlia**
I think it's going to rain after all.

**[02:22] Wolf**
We can't use fire, and they aren't
in a spot the wind will reach easily.
***SIGN*** Episode 7: A Premonition of Pandemonium
**[02:26] Grat**
I'd like to say we'll handle them in one
go with water, but we can't do that.
**[02:30] Wolf**
It seems goats have been taken
from a village nearby.
**[02:33] Wolf**
It's only a matter of time
before people are taken, too.
**[02:36] Grat**
It's more work, but our only option
is to encircle them and attack.
**[02:40] Wolf**
Captain.
**[02:42] Wolf**
If I take point and break away from our force,
I should be able to draw the goblins out.
**[02:48] Grat**
It's rare for you to suggest a strategy.
**[02:51] Wolf**
I'd like to finish this quickly if we can.
**[02:55] Grat**
All right. We'll move at sunset.
**[02:57] Grat**
Get ready.
**[02:58] Wolf**
Yes, sir.
**[03:01] Grizelda**
For Wolfred to suggest a strategy like
that shows how much he's grown.
**[03:06] Grad**
He was in such a hurry to
get himself killed before.
**[03:09] Grad**
One day, I'd like to promote him
to a leadership role in our unit.
**[03:18] Wolf**
*All right. Let's get this over with...*
**[03:21] Wolf**
...and get home!
**[03:39] Drino**
Wolf, you like white wine, right?
**[03:41] Wolf**
Actually, I'd prefer red today.
**[03:44] Drino**
Sure thing! Just a minute.
**[03:45] Grizelda**
Well, that's a mission safely wrapped up.
**[03:48] Alfio**
To think Wolf calculated his actions so
the offensive would take less time...
**[03:53] Grat**
Indeed.
**[03:55] Grat**
I'm truly looking forward
to seeing what he does next.
**[03:58] Wolf; internal**
*Now I'll have the second of the month off.*
**[04:02] Wolf**
Hello!
**[04:04] Wolf**
I'm here!
**[04:07] Dahlia**
W-Welcome. What have you got there?
**[04:11] Wolf**
Meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit.
I also have wine and cheese.
**[04:17] Wolf**
Since I ate so much last time,
I brought all this as thanks.
**[04:22] Dahlia**
It's far too much.
**[04:24] Wolf**
There's an ice magic stone attached,
so it should be all right for a few days.
**[04:29] Dahlia**
Thank you.
**[04:31] Wolf**
Is this your refrigerator?
**[04:33] Dahlia**
Yes. It's still just a prototype, though.
**[04:36] Wolf**
It's unusual to see one with two tiers.
**[04:38] Dahlia**
Actually, one of them freezes things.
**[04:41] Wolf**
A refrigerator and freezer in one?
**[04:47] Dahlia**
That's the theory.
**[04:49] Wolf**
Have you already decided on a vendor?
**[04:52] Dahlia**
This is just a prototype, so I'm going
to try it out in my kitchen upstairs.
**[04:56] Dahlia**
But it's heavy, so I plan to ask my friend
in the Transport Guild to move it for me.
**[05:01] Wolf**
Why don't I carry it up now? It looks like
it could hold everything I bought for you.
**[05:06] Dahlia**
Really, it's quite heavy.
**[05:08] Wolf**
It's lighter than I thought.
**[05:11] Dahlia**
Wow...
**[05:12] Dahlia**
I'll go get us something to drink.
You just relax here.
**[05:15] Wolf**
Thank you.
**[05:33] Dahlia**
What's this?
**[05:35] Wolf**
Wine glasses. I thought you
might need them during meals.
**[05:40] Dahlia**
This is high-quality crystal that's
been imbued with magic.
**[05:44] Dahlia**
How much did these cost?
**[05:45] Wolf**
Four gold coins.
They weren't terribly expensive.
**[05:52] Dahlia**
Wolf, I don't know how I feel about
you gifting me such nice glasses.
**[05:56] Wolf**
You say that, but you're trying
to give me my glasses for free.
**[06:01] Dahlia**
That's because they're just a prototype.
**[06:04] Wolf**
But I've been using them without issue.
**[06:07] Wolf**
I think you should regard them
as a finished product.
**[06:11] Dahlia**
I appreciate the thought.
**[06:14] Dahlia**
However, as your friend,
**[06:16] Dahlia**
I'd rather not be in the position of
simply receiving without reciprocating.
**[06:25] Wolf**
I'm sorry.
**[06:27] Wolf**
When you say it like that,
I finally understand.
**[06:30] Dahlia**
It's all right.
**[06:31] Dahlia**
I appreciate the sentiment.
**[06:34] Dahlia**
And I'll sell you the glasses
at two gold coins a pair,
**[06:39] Dahlia**
so I'll take a wine glass as payment.
**[06:42] Dahlia**
And since you gave me two,
**[06:43] Dahlia**
I'll be sure do my best on
your next pair of glasses.
**[06:49] Wolf**
Thank you.
**[06:51] Wolf**
I'm happy to compensate you
at a fair price for your fine skills.
**[06:55] Dahlia**
Very well, then.
**[06:59] Dahlia**
I'm surprised you can cook.
**[07:02] Wolf**
Dressing meat and grilling it is all I can do.
**[07:05] Wolf**
We eat animals and monsters while
on campaigns, so I know the basics.
**[07:11] Wolf**
What's that?
**[07:12] Dahlia**
A foam pump bottle with soap in it.
**[07:15] Dahlia**
It's another prototype of mine.
I have some friends testing it for me.
**[07:19] Wolf**
Oh, so this is a magic device, too?
**[07:22] Dahlia**
Actually, it's...
**[07:24] Dahlia**
I'll be working on creating a magic sword
this afternoon, so I'll abstain from wine.
**[07:29] Wolf**
That makes sense.
**[07:30] Wolf**
I've been looking forward to this meal,
but I've been looking forward to that, too!
**[07:39] Dahlia**
Could it be that you brought
really good quality meat today?
**[07:43] Wolf**
But it's the precise heat control of this
burner that's made the most of it!
**[07:48] Wolf**
Dahlia, your small magic hob is criminal.
**[07:52] Dahlia**
Huh?
**[07:53] Wolf**
If had this while on campaigns, I think many
of my comrades would still be with me.
**[07:58] Dahlia**
Did something bad happen?
**[08:00] Wolf**
No, nothing like that.
**[08:02] Wolf**
There are guys who left the force
because the food didn't agree with them.
**[08:06] Wolf**
When I thought that this might have
kept them around, it just slipped out.
**[08:12] Dahlia**
So, um... Shall we fry up the kraken?
**[08:15] Wolf**
Oh... Yeah.
**[08:26] Wolf**
I didn't think they'd shrink by half.
How unbearably sad.
**[08:32] Dahlia**
That look in your eyes...
**[08:34] Dahlia**
I don't think it's the kind you
direct at slices of kraken, Wolf.
**[08:40] Wolf**
This seems like it'd be good
with azuma liquor.
**[08:42] Wolf**
It makes me want the proper glasses for that.
**[08:45] Dahlia**
Then shall we go and shop for some together?
**[08:47] Dahlia**
That way, we'll be able to
get each other's opinions.
**[08:50] Dahlia**
Oh? Wolf, you haven't eaten
a single green pepper.
**[08:55] Wolf**
The thing is... green peppers hate me.
**[09:01] Dahlia**
If you don't eat them,
you won't grow big and strong.
**[09:04] Dahlia**
At least, that's what I'd like to say.
**[09:06] Dahlia**
But it'd be a problem if you
got any taller, wouldn't it?
**[09:09] Wolf**
I have an acquaintance who's taller than me,
**[09:11] Wolf**
and he says it's rough because
he hits his head on door frames.
**[09:15] Wolf**
Which is why I'd rather
not grow any taller myself.
**[09:18] Wolf**
So I avoid peppers.
**[09:19] Dahlia**
Yes, that makes sense.
**[09:21] Dahlia**
Plenty of children dislike
green peppers, don't they?
**[09:32] Dahlia**
Listen, Wolf, I know it sounds silly to say
this now, but everyone's tastes are different.
**[09:38] Dahlia**
Don't force yourself to—
**[09:39] Wolf**
No! I must overcome this!
**[09:42] Wolf**
It's a wall blocking my path!
**[09:52] Wolf**
Huh? I can eat it.
**[09:53] Dahlia**
People's tastes change,
**[09:55] Dahlia**
so even if you didn't like something before,
you might find it delicious now.
**[09:59] Wolf**
It is delicious. Maybe I've been
missing out all this time!
**[10:10] Wolf**
I'd like to take one of these
hobs with me on campaigns,
**[10:13] Wolf**
but if I ate like this on my own,
the other troops would annihilate me.
**[10:16] Dahlia**
The smell of cooking meat
does tend to attract people.
**[10:21] Dahlia**
Well, I'd say it's time to
clean up and get to business.
**[10:25] Wolf**
You mean...
**[10:26] Dahlia**
Yes. Let's start crafting a magic sword.
**[10:31] Dahlia**
Now, let us begin.
**[10:33] Wolf**
I've been waiting for this moment!
**[10:37] Dahlia**
That sounds like something you'd say
upon encountering some grand destiny.
**[10:41] Dahlia**
Wolf, for starters, could you take
the sword apart for me, please?
**[10:44] Wolf**
All right.
**[10:46] Dahlia**
Which would be better on the blade,
hardening or ever-sharp?
**[10:50] Wolf**
A short sword like this has a fairly thick blade,
so I think ever-sharp might be best.
**[10:54] Dahlia**
All right.
**[11:06] Dahlia**
Next, a water magic stone
on the guard for cleansing,
**[11:09] Dahlia**
a wind magic stone on the hilt for swiftness,
and weight reduction on the scabbard.
**[11:13] Dahlia**
Is that right?
**[11:15] Wolf**
Yes, if you would.
**[11:42] Dahlia**
This is rather tricky.
**[11:44] Wolf**
The scabbard might be just fine as it is.
**[11:47] Wolf**
After all, you imbued everything else.
**[11:50] Dahlia**
I'll keep at it just a little longer.
**[11:54] Wolf**
Dahlia, it looks to me like the scabbard
is taking a lot more magic than the rest.
**[11:59] Dahlia**
Putting a magic stone on the scabbard
would make it too unwieldy.
**[12:02] Dahlia**
I'm extracting magic from stones and
imbuing it with that, so it'll take a while.
**[12:08] Dahlia**
Also, I'm bad at weight reduction.
**[12:12] Dahlia**
My father was good at it, though...
**[12:15] Dahlia; internal**
*I think he used go like this...*
**[12:27] Dahlia**
It seems I needed to wrap it in magic
instead of pouring magic into it!
**[12:31] Wolf**
I'm glad it worked.
**[12:32] Wolf**
This was really interesting to watch,
but aren't you tired?
**[12:36] Dahlia**
I'm fine.
**[12:38] Dahlia**
But putting it back together takes
physical strength, so would you mind?
**[12:41] Wolf**
No problem.
**[12:42] Dahlia**
It will be heavier because of the magic stones.
**[12:46] Wolf**
It's perfect like this.
**[12:47] Wolf**
If this is the finished weight,
it could even be a little heavier.
**[12:51] Wolf**
Huh? Imbuing magic wouldn't
change the size of a piece, would it?
**[12:56] Dahlia**
No.
**[12:57] Wolf**
Then I just need to put a
little more strength into it...
**[13:04] Dahlia**
Are you all right?
**[13:06] Wolf**
I'm fine.
**[13:07] Wolf**
I never imagined it
wouldn't fit back together.
**[13:10] Dahlia**
There must be a reason no one
has done this before now.
**[13:14] Dahlia**
It could be an issue with magical affinity,
or that magic changes the materials somehow.
**[13:19] Dahlia**
We'll just have to try different methods.
**[13:22] Wolf**
Creating something is a difficult task, isn't it?
**[13:25] Wolf**
I suppose our journey to make
a magic sword has only just begun.
**[13:30] Wolf**
If it's a matter of magical affinity,
**[13:32] Wolf**
does that mean the castings
were interfering with each other?
**[13:35] Dahlia**
Magical interference caused them to repel.
**[13:38] Dahlia**
In that case...
**[13:39] Dahlia**
maybe we just need to wedge a material
that'll cut the magic between them.
**[13:42] Wolf**
Cut the magic?
**[13:47] Dahlia**
You once told me about a material that's
resistant to fire, water, and wind
**[13:51] Dahlia**
that's also hard to remove, didn't you?
**[13:54] Wolf**
I do recall mentioning something...
**[13:55] Dahlia**
That might be the solution to this!
**[13:59] Dahlia**
If we use black slime powder—
**[13:59] Wolf**
Let's not do that.
We should prioritize safety first.
**[14:04] Dahlia**
These gloves can withstand acids.
And you're here, Wolf, so I'm not worried.
**[14:09] Wolf**
All right.
**[14:11] Wolf**
If anything happens, I'll use all my
strength to get you to the church.
**[14:22] Dahlia**
The powder has adhered. Can I ask you
to try putting the sword together again?
**[14:27] Wolf**
I have a feeling it'll work this time.
**[14:31] Dahlia**
It's starting to look less
"magical" and more "demonic."
**[14:34] Wolf**
But this is cool in its own way, isn't it?
**[14:37] Wolf**
Like something a demon king's
subordinate might carry!
**[14:40] Dahlia**
Should a knight be so happy about that?
**[14:43] Wolf**
It's done.
**[14:46] Wolf**
Yes, it's far easier to use now!
Each of the magic castings is working!
**[14:51] Dahlia**
I'm glad.
**[14:55] Dahlia**
It's eaten away at your gloves.
**[14:59] Dahlia**
One wrong step and it could melt your hands.
**[15:14] Dahlia**
Right! On to the next one!
**[15:16] Wolf**
No, wait! If I used durable gloves, then—
**[15:19] Dahlia**
Absolutely not. We'll put it in a magic sealing
box and have a specialist dispose of it.
**[15:24] Wolf**
Couldn't I test it on just one monster?
**[15:26] Dahlia**
For the first time ever,
I feel sympathy for the monsters.
**[15:31] Wolf**
Dahlia!
**[15:32] Wolf**
Listen, I understand that it's dangerous,
**[15:35] Wolf**
but can't we put it in the magic sealing
box and just keep it for a while?
**[15:40] Dahlia**
Keep it?
**[15:41] Wolf**
Yeah. It's our first magic sword. I want to
hold on to it for a bit to remember this.
**[15:48] Dahlia**
All right.
**[15:49] Dahlia**
This is magic sword version 1.
**[15:52] Wolf**
We'll call it the Short Sword
of a Demon King's Subordinate!
**[15:56] Wolf**
Good work today.
**[15:57] Dahlia**
Thank you for your help.
**[16:02] Wolf**
Next time won't be until after my campaign.
**[16:04] Wolf**
In two days, we start hunting big frogs
as we always do at this time of year.
**[16:08] Dahlia**
Big frogs? I've heard that they
spawn in very large numbers,
**[16:14] Dahlia**
but how many are we talking?
**[16:15] Wolf**
Last year, there were about five hundred.
**[16:18] Dahlia**
What? Thank you for your service.
**[16:20] Wolf**
What's even worse than that is the heat.
**[16:24] Dahlia**
Even though summer's just begun?
**[16:25] Wolf**
There's no wind in the marshland, and we
use fire magic, so it gets unbelievably hot.
**[16:30] Wolf**
Not to mention how swampy our shoes get.
**[16:32] Wolf**
A lot of soldiers end up
with fungal infections.
**[16:35] Dahlia**
You don't cast drying magic on your shoes?
**[16:39] Wolf**
We only have strengthening cast on them.
**[16:41] Wolf**
We never know what we'll be stepping on.
**[16:43] Dahlia**
That's true.
**[16:47] Dahlia**
Wait right there!
**[16:48] Wolf**
Sure.
**[16:52] Wolf**
This is...
**[16:53] Wolf**
How much are they? I want to repay
you properly next time I come.
**[16:56] Dahlia**
Um, instead of payment, could I ask you
for a report on the prototype's performances?
**[17:02] Wolf**
A report?
**[17:03] Dahlia**
Yes.
**[17:03] Wolf**
All right. I'll write one up in detail.
**[17:07] Wolf**
You can count on me!
***SIGN*** It's been three weeks, hasn't it, Wolfred? Has anything fun happened?
**[17:17] Wolf**
I used a wyvern to take a vacation.
***SIGN*** That does sound thrilling and quite fun, but do be careful.
**[17:25] Wolf**
How have you been, Lady Althea?
***SIGN*** I may be asking you to see me to a soiree quite soon.
**[17:33] Wolf**
The little birds are flocking again, are they?
***SIGN*** Something like that. And what about you?
**[17:39] Wolf**
A lot has happened, but now I can
walk around town on my own.
***SIGN*** My. Well, I won't ask you how you managed that, but I'm very happy to hear it.
**[17:50] Wolf**
Returning home from my vacation,
I met a wonderfully delightful woman.
***SIGN*** It's rare to hear you say such things.
***SIGN*** Have you already spent the night together?
**[18:00] Wolf**
We stayed up until dawn
just having fun talking.
***SIGN*** How lovely.
***SIGN*** Then you've found yourself a lovely friend.
**[18:08] Wolf**
Yes, I'm very lucky to have met her.
**[18:11] Wolf**
I'm deploying on a campaign tomorrow.
***SIGN*** Be careful on your way, Wolfred.
**[18:16] Wolf**
I will, thank you.
***SIGN*** I wonder when he'll realize that he's on the verge of catching a deathly fever.
***SIGN*** Will it cool quickly? Will it break him?
***SIGN*** Or will it be something he takes to his grave?
***SIGN*** I look forward to seeing, don't you, Vee?
**[18:40] (Flashback) Dahlia**
These are five-toed socks.
**[18:44] (Flashback) Dahlia**
They wick away sweat from your feet,
so I thought they might make things better.
**[18:48] (Flashback) Dahlia**
I've imbued them with drying magic.
**[18:50] (Flashback) Wolf**
They're a very peculiar shape.
I've never seen anything like it.
**[18:54] (Flashback) Dahlia**
These insoles have wind magic imbued in them.
**[18:58] (Flashback) Dahlia**
They're green because
of the green slime powder.
**[19:01] (Flashback) Wolf**
I see. Are you planning
to sell them somewhere?
**[19:05] (Flashback) Dahlia**
No. My father often grumbled, "It's so hot
in summer, I don't want to wear socks!"
**[19:11] (Flashback) Dahlia**
So I came up with these
prototypes to try to help.
**[19:14] (Flashback) Wolf**
Your father must have been very happy.
**[19:17] (Flashback) Dahlia**
I didn't finish them until after he'd passed,
so I never got to show him.
**[19:21] (Flashback) Dahlia**
But since I made them,
I'd be happy if you could use them.
**[19:25] (Flashback) Dahlia**
They may even help prevent foot fungus.
**[19:29] Drino**
Wolf, what are those bizarre things?
**[19:33] Wolf**
These? They're five-toed socks.
**[19:35] Drino**
Five... what?
**[19:37] Wolf**
See? Each toe is separate.
**[19:41] Wolf**
And these are drying insoles.
**[19:43] Wolf**
A friend gave them to me when I
mentioned how humid the marshland is.
**[19:47] Wolf**
I'm testing them out.
**[19:49] Drino**
The insoles are one thing,
but those socks are really creepy.
**[19:53] Drino**
They look hard to put on.
**[19:54] Wolf**
They do take time to put on.
**[19:57] Wolf**
But even after walking all this way,
my socks and feet are dry.
**[20:01] Drino**
No way! Mine are already drenched in sweat!
**[20:06] Wolf**
Want to try them, Drino?
**[20:10] Drino**
They look like a monster's shed skin, but it's
so much cooler without my toes stuck together!
**[20:14] Drino**
I can't even tell I'm sweating!
**[20:16] Wolf**
I'm glad we're the same size.
Let me know what you think of them later.
**[20:20] Drino**
You got it!
**[20:20] Wolf**
Also, there's a chance this combination
may prevent foot fungus.
**[20:25] Alfio**
Wolf! What did you just say
about preventing foot fungus?
**[20:28] Wolf**
U-Um, that this combination of socks
and insoles might serve as a preventative.
**[20:35] Alfio**
I see. And where are they sold?
**[20:38] Wolf**
Oh, these are prototypes.
**[20:41] Alfio**
So they can't be purchased?
**[20:42] Wolf**
I have extras if you'd like to try them.
**[20:45] Alfio**
I would!
**[20:47] Wolf**
Please let me know what you think later.
**[20:49] Alfio**
Thanks. I'll give you my impression
in as much detail as I can muster.
**[20:53] Grat**
If they work against foot fungus,
I'd like to try them, as well.
**[20:58] Dino**
So would I. I'm willing to pay
the cost of the finished product.
**[21:01] Wolf**
I was told that they're still prototypes,
**[21:03] Wolf**
and we don't yet know
if they'll prevent fungus.
**[21:06] Wolf**
Is foot fungus really
so terrible to deal with?
**[21:10] Dino**
When sweat gets into it, it gets even
itchier and robs you of your focus!
**[21:14] Dino**
At its worst, every step is uncomfortable!
**[21:20] Wolf**
That sounds just like heat rash.
I didn't realize it was that bad.
**[21:24] Grat**
You can only say that
because you're young, Wolfred!
**[21:29] Grat**
Once you're over 35,
it'll hit you all at once!
**[21:31] Dino**
What are you talking about, Captain?!
**[21:34] Dino**
It's even worse when you're young
because you sweat more!
**[21:38] Grat**
When you get older,
you heal slower, which makes it worse!
**[21:41] Grat**
My feet are itching even as we speak!
**[21:43] Dino**
That may be true, but—
**[21:46] Randolph**
Wolf, may I have a moment?
**[21:47] Wolf**
Randolph.
**[21:49] Randolph**
If possible, I'd like a pair, too.
**[21:52] Wolf**
Randolph...
**[21:53] soldier A**
Wolf!
**[21:54] soldier B**
Wolf! Over here, too!
**[21:55] soldiers**
We want some, too!
**[21:56] soldiers**
We heard everything!
**[21:57] soldiers**
Please give us some!
**[21:58] soldiers**
I'm begging you!
**[22:00] Wolf; internal**
* Dahlia, it looks like this is going*
* to turn into something huge...*

**[00:15] soldier A**
I've never been so utterly able to banish
all thoughts of foot fungus from my mind!
**[00:20] soldier A; background**
I could focus entirely on the big frogs!
**[00:20] Wolf**
Banish all thoughts... of foot fungus...
**[00:24] soldier B**
No sweat!
**[00:24] soldier A**
And no itch!
**[00:25] soldier C; background**
Even when I plant my feet, I don't slip!
**[00:25] Wolf**
They don't get itchy...
**[00:27] soldier D**
Wolfred, write faster!
**[00:29] Wolf**
Just a moment, please. My notes...
**[00:29] soldier C; background**
The heel needs more reinforcement.
**[00:31] soldier A**
If possible, a knee-high pair would be great!
**[00:33] Wolf**
Knee-high...
**[00:33] soldier B**
Mass-produce these as soon as possible!
**[00:35] soldier A**
I'd like more sizes!
**[00:37] soldier D**
We'll write the notes ourselves!
Go fetch some parchment!
**[00:39] Wolf**
Mass production as soon
as possible... Sizes...

***SIGN*** Episode 8: The Rossetti Company
**[02:13] Dahlia**
Eighty sets?!
**[02:16] Dahlia**
Of the five-toed socks and drying insoles?
**[02:19] Wolf**
I'd like to order them immediately.
**[02:20] Dahlia**
I only asked for a report on
your experience using them.
**[02:25] Wolf**
I have the report, too. Here you go.
**[02:29] Dahlia**
Just how much did you put
yourself through to get all this?
**[02:31] Wolf**
I'm the one who's going to be
putting you through too much.
**[02:35] Wolf**
This is our implementation plan.
**[02:38] Dahlia**
"After the initial eighty sets,
continued procurement..."
**[02:42] Dahlia**
How did things get this far?
**[02:44] Wolf**
That's included in the report, too.
**[02:50] Dahlia**
Partway through, this turns
into letters of thanks.
**[02:53] Wolf**
Many of the men have been
concerned about foot fungus.
**[02:56] Dahlia**
This is packed with admiration for
the idea and the skill to bring it to life.
**[03:00] Dahlia**
This is your handwriting, isn't it, Wolf?
**[03:03] Wolf**
As the unit's representative,
I was permitted to record the consensus.
**[03:12] Dahlia**
I don't know how to handle this many orders.
**[03:15] Dahlia**
I'll go to the Trade Guild
for advice tomorrow.
**[03:18] Dahlia**
What about you, Wolf?
**[03:20] Wolf**
I'll go with you. The captain
wants me to hurry things along,
**[03:23] Wolf**
so I'd love to help in any way if I can.
**[03:26] Wolf**
I'd also like to get advice
on what I should do next.
**[03:29] Dahlia**
In that case, I'll see when
Mister Dominic is free.
**[03:32] Dahlia**
Let's consult with the vice chair, too.
**[03:36] Wolf**
Could I become a guarantor, too,
so that I can provide support?
**[03:39] Wolf**
That would increase our chances
of being able to procure materials.
**[03:44] Dahlia**
Thank you so much!
**[03:46] Wolf**
Although it may only lead to
rumors of indecorous behavior.
**[03:51] Dahlia**
You mean ones suggesting
there's something between us?
**[03:56] Wolf**
I'm sorry it took me so long
to consider the possibility.
**[04:00] Wolf**
Would it be better for me to keep a
certain distance when we're in public?
**[04:03] Dahlia**
I don't care what other people think of me.
**[04:06] Dahlia**
Not as long as I can produce results
**[04:08] Dahlia**
and deal with people who
acknowledge my successes.
**[04:11] Wolf**
Dahlia...
**[04:12] Dahlia**
But those are just my own
thoughts on the matter.
**[04:15] Dahlia**
If you'd prefer to change
the way we interact,
**[04:18] Dahlia**
then it's not my place to stop you.
**[04:20] Dahlia**
If that's what you'd like to do,
don't hesitate to tell me so.
**[04:26] Wolf**
I'm sorry.
**[04:27] Wolf**
I don't want to change our relationship.
**[04:29] Wolf**
As your friend, I want to say proudly that
I support your work creating magic devices.
**[04:35] Wolf**
I don't want to hide that from anyone.
**[04:40] Dahlia**
Thank you.
**[04:43] Dahlia**
In that case, please stay my friend!
**[04:46] Dahlia**
I'll do my best to make sure our friendship
isn't an embarrassment to you!
**[04:58] Ivano**
We've been waiting for you, Lord Scalfarotto,
Lady Chair of the Rossetti Company.
**[05:05] Gabriella**
I am the vice chair of the
Trade Guild, Gabriella Jedder.
**[05:09] Gabriella**
I act as the guildmaster's representative.
**[05:12] Gabriella**
Lord Wolfred Scalfarotto,
you'd like to proceed with becoming
**[05:15] Gabriella**
a guarantor for the Rossetti
Company, correct?
**[05:18] Gabriella**
Ivano.
**[05:19] Ivano**
I'll make the arrangements immediately.
**[05:21] Gabriella**
Dominic is standing by,
so he should be here promptly.
**[05:25] Gabriella**
Lord Scalfarotto,
I'll ask you to meet with him.
**[05:28] Wolf**
Of course.
**[05:30] Gabriella**
Dahlia, while he's doing that,
may I speak with you a moment?
**[05:34] Gabriella**
Will you come to my chambers?
**[05:38] Dominic**
For now, this should be everything you need.
**[05:42] Wolf**
Thank you for teaching me about all of this.
**[05:46] Dominic**
If you're going to continue your work
as a knight while serving as a guarantor,
**[05:50] Dominic**
I recommend that you inform
House Scalfarotto of your intentions.
**[05:55] Wolf**
So you do think that's necessary?
**[05:57] Dominic**
With an eye to the future, yes.
**[06:00] Dominic**
Besides, they say victory favors
the first to make a move, don't they?
**[06:06] Gabriella**
The Guild received a notice.
**[06:08] Gabriella**
It came under the name of the captain
of the monster suppression force.
**[06:12] Gabriella**
He said he'd be sending someone
and asked us to look out for him.
**[06:15] Dahlia**
Did he mean Wolf?
**[06:17] Gabriella**
That part doesn't matter.
**[06:19] Gabriella**
What's more important is that he said he
wanted to provide support for the inventor.
**[06:25] Gabriella**
This has never happened before.
**[06:27] Dahlia**
Gabriella, I don't know how to handle
this. Please tell me what to do.
**[06:31] Gabriella**
Will you tell me the particulars?
**[06:33] Dahlia**
Yes. The drying five-toed
socks and insoles are...
**[06:39] Gabriella**
How many can you imbue in a day?
**[06:43] Dahlia**
Probably fifteen or twenty pairs.
**[06:48] Gabriella**
You can't do more?
**[06:49] Dahlia**
I can't do more than that by myself.
**[06:52] Gabriella**
In that case, we should hire someone.
**[06:55] Gabriella**
This will work out somehow.
It'll be fine. Just fine.
**[06:58] Dahlia**
Please don't say that like you're
praying for it to be true!
**[07:03] Gabriella**
Now, let me offer a suggestion.
**[07:06] Gabriella**
Dahlia, write up a profit agreement
for the five-toed socks and drying insoles.
**[07:12] Gabriella**
I'll assign an assistant to you.
**[07:14] Dahlia**
All right.
**[07:16] Gabriella**
As for the manufacturing... Let's send
a messenger to the Clothing Guild.
**[07:20] Gabriella**
Lord Wolfred, would you like to be present?
**[07:23] Wolf**
Yes, of course.
**[07:25] Dahlia**
Instead of making such formal,
**[07:27] Dahlia**
grand arrangements, can't we
speak to a workshop directly?
**[07:31] Gabriella**
It would be best not to.
**[07:34] Dominic**
Lord Wolfred, do the knights and soldiers
of the palace wear leather shoes?
**[07:39] Dominic**
And what about the civilian officials?
**[07:41] Wolf**
I think most of them wear leather shoes.
**[07:44] Dominic**
Then it's fair to assume that they're
common throughout the palace.
**[07:48] Dominic**
This may catch on with the nobility
and even commoners from there.
**[07:52] Wolf**
I see. Anyone who wears
leather shoes would also...
**[07:55] Dominic**
Which is why I don't think a
single workshop will be enough.
**[07:59] Dominic**
Also, I believe we'll need to source
green slimes, which are used in the insoles.
**[08:03] Gabriella**
Then we should bring in
the Adventurers Guild.
**[08:06] Gabriella**
In addition to catching the slimes,
we'll recommend cultivating them.
**[08:09] Dahlia**
We won't need that many!
**[08:12] Dahlia**
One small slime is enough to imbue five pairs.
**[08:15] Ivano**
The insoles are disposable, aren't they?
**[08:18] Ivano**
Hunting slimes won't be sufficient.
We really should be cultivating them.
**[08:25] Gabriella**
Welcome to the Trade Guild.
**[08:27] Gabriella**
For these negotiations, our Guild
will be acting as an intermediary.
**[08:33] Gabriella**
Those are the specifics of the matter.
**[08:36] Fortunato**
I understand the situation,
**[08:38] Fortunato**
but if you're asking us to participate,
**[08:40] Fortunato**
does that mean you don't intend
to keep the technology a secret?
**[08:43] Dahlia**
That's right. We want it
to spread as far as possible.
**[08:47] Fortunato**
The Rossetti Company could
build its own workshop.
**[08:51] Dahlia**
At our current size, that isn't realistic.
**[08:54] Fortunato**
Assistant Manager Ferno,
with your workshop at full operation,
**[08:59] Fortunato**
how many socks could you make in a day?
**[09:02] Lucia**
Their structure is unique, so twenty
pairs would be our maximum.
**[09:06] Fortunato**
There's no way to set things
up for mass production?
**[09:09] Lucia**
If we modified the knitting machines used
for gloves to automate part of the process...
**[09:13] Fortunato**
Let's arrange for technicians
to come in immediately.
**[09:16] Fortunato**
We'll start the knitting by hand and strive
to increase early-stage production.
**[09:20] Fortunato**
We'll have cobblers make the insoles.
**[09:23] Fortunato**
Shall we deliver the finished
items to the Trade Guild?
**[09:26] Fortunato**
Or will magic artisans here be
handling the imbuing process?
**[09:30] Dahlia**
I'll entrust that to you.
**[09:32] Fortunato**
Then shall we say the Rossetti Company
**[09:34] Fortunato**
will be paid the profit agreement
plus 20% of any net profit?
**[09:38] Gabriella**
The Trade Guild would prefer 25%.
**[09:42] Fortunato**
Please, consider the time the
Clothing Guild will be investing.
**[09:46] Ivano**
Pardon my interjection.
**[09:48] Ivano**
While 20% will suffice,
**[09:50] Ivano**
we'd ask that you send us reports
on the numbers being produced.
**[09:54] Ivano**
We'd also ask that the Rossetti
Company retains the right
**[09:58] Ivano**
to decide which customers get priority.
**[10:01] Fortunato**
Yes, we can accommodate those conditions.
**[10:04] Ivano**
Does that suit the Rossetti
Company chairwoman?
**[10:07] Dahlia**
Yes! Um...
**[10:09] Wolf**
I agree with these conditions, as well.
**[10:12] Dahlia**
Please proceed with them.
**[10:14] Fortunato**
The Rossetti Company is welcome
to assign an overseer, if you'd like.
**[10:19] Dahlia**
No, I trust you, Lord Fortunato.
I'll leave everything to you.
**[10:25] August**
Now it's our turn.
**[10:26] August**
Regarding the use of green
slimes for the insoles...
**[10:30] August**
How many can be made per slime?
**[10:32] Dahlia**
One small slime makes five pairs.
**[10:35] August**
Which means we'd need two
hundred for a thousand sets.
**[10:38] August**
Jean, what do you think?
**[10:41] Jean**
The Rossetti family has been
good to us in the past.
**[10:43] Jean**
During Mister Carlo's time, he sent
us out for krakens and sand lizards.
**[10:49] Jean**
What fond memories.
**[10:52] Jean**
Not to mention the blue slimes for the
Rossetti Company chair's waterproof fabric.
**[10:55] Jean**
We owe you a lot.
**[10:58] Jean**
And the potential this time seems
orders of magnitude greater!
**[11:01] Jean**
My whole body is rapt with anticipation.
**[11:04] Dahlia**
B-Both my father and I are deeply
grateful for all you've done for us.
**[11:17] Lucia**
Dahlia!
**[11:19] Dahlia**
Lucia! Thank you for everything.
**[11:22] Lucia**
What's the meaning of all this,
**[11:24] Lucia**
sending a messenger to the Clothing Guild?
My father nearly passed out.
**[11:29] Lucia**
My mother said, "You made them, so you go!"
**[11:31] Lucia**
Then she made me the assistant
manager on the spot.
**[11:33] Lucia**
The workshop is just our family of five.
**[11:35] Lucia**
Who needs an assistant manager?
**[11:38] Dahlia**
I'm sorry. I didn't think it'd lead to all this.
**[11:42] Lucia**
I only made them to make Mister Carlo laugh.
**[11:46] Lucia**
Who'd have thought it would go this far?
**[11:48] Lucia**
Oh, right! Could you send me
the raincoat fabric by cart?
**[11:53] Lucia**
I wanted to make some cute ones,
but I have no idea when I'll be able to.
**[12:00] Wolf**
I'm glad things seem to
have worked out for now.
**[12:03] Dahlia**
Have they really?
**[12:05] Wolf**
I don't mean to upset you,
but I think you should learn
**[12:10] Wolf**
how to avoid interacting with nobles.
**[12:14] Dahlia**
Did I say something disrespectful?
**[12:16] Wolf**
You said, "I trust you, Lord Fortunato.
I'll leave everything to you."
**[12:22] Dahlia**
Y-Yes, I did.
**[12:24] Wolf**
When a single lady says that to a nobleman,
it can be taken as an expression of love.
**[12:28] Dahlia**
I meant that I trust the way he does business,
so I'd leave those decisions to him!
**[12:34] Wolf**
He knows that you're not a noble,
**[12:37] Wolf**
and if anything were to happen,
I'd intervene, so don't worry.
**[12:41] Dahlia**
Oh, how could I be so tactless?
**[12:44] Wolf**
There was a line in an old opera.
**[12:45] Wolf**
"I trust you, Lord Orpheno.
I'll leave everything to you."
**[12:51] Dahlia**
I see.
**[12:53] Wolf**
Quoting it became fashionable.
**[12:56] Wolf**
Noblewomen would say it to men
on the first night they spent together.
**[13:02] Dahlia**
I don't know anything about that...
**[13:07] Gabriella**
You understand what I'm saying, don't you?
**[13:13] Gabriella**
You understand what I'm saying, don't you?
**[13:17] Ivano**
Yes, completely.
**[13:20] Gabriella**
"We ask that the Rossetti Company retains the
right to decide which customers get priority"?
**[13:26] Gabriella**
It's true that that would be of the
utmost importance for a company.
**[13:30] Ivano**
I'm terribly sorry.
**[13:32] Ivano**
I prioritized my interests as guarantor of
the Rossetti Company over the Trade Guild's.
**[13:39] Gabriella**
May I ask why?
**[13:42] Ivano**
Vice Chair... No, Lady Gabriella, please accept
my resignation from my post at the Trade Guild.
**[13:49] Gabriella**
I figured that must be it.
**[13:51] Gabriella**
Though it happened sooner than I expected.
**[13:54] Gabriella**
Please raise your head.
**[13:59] Ivano**
I thought I'd finish out my career
here under your guidance.
**[14:03] Gabriella**
But you're giving that up,
aren't you? For Dahlia's sake.
**[14:06] Ivano**
It's for myself. I really
do love being a merchant!
**[14:11] Gabriella**
After seeing that smile, I can hardly argue.
**[14:15] Gabriella**
Before you quit, why don't you
ask Dahlia if she'll hire you?
**[14:19] Ivano**
That wouldn't be fair.
**[14:21] Ivano**
Please allow me to write my letter
of resignation here and now.
**[14:32] Gabriella**
I'll hold on to this.
**[14:34] Ivano**
You aren't accepting it?
**[14:35] Gabriella**
If Dahlia turns you down, come back.
**[14:39] Gabriella**
You should speak with Lord Wolfred first.
**[14:42] Gabriella**
If he recommends you,
Dahlia won't be able to refuse.
**[14:46] Ivano**
Aren't you setting the bar a little high?
**[14:49] Gabriella**
You can take the opportunity to see
what kind of man he is on my behalf.
**[15:01] Gabriella**
Honestly. Dahlia's stolen a good man from me.
**[15:10] Ivano**
Thank you for taking time out for me.
**[15:12] Wolf**
Not at all.
**[15:14] Ivano**
Lord Scalfarotto, what do
you think of Miss Dahlia?
**[15:18] Wolf**
She's an amazing magic artificer
and my good friend.
**[15:22] Wolf**
What does that have to do with my being
a guarantor of the Rossetti Company?
**[15:28] Ivano**
You're standing right where Mister Carlo died.
**[15:32] Ivano**
I ran to him, but there
was nothing I could do.
**[15:48] Wolf**
Thank you for telling me that.
**[15:50] Ivano**
No... Perhaps I only told you because
I was hoping to see you react so.
**[15:55] Ivano**
To me, Miss Dahlia appears as a
goddess clad in golden prosperity.
**[15:59] Wolf**
What do you mean?
**[16:01] Ivano**
I think the Rossetti Company
is capable of great things.
**[16:05] Ivano**
I want to stand at Miss Dahlia's
side and help to grow the company.
**[16:09] Ivano**
I've just submitted my letter of
resignation to the Trade Guild.
**[16:14] Wolf**
Why are you telling me this?
**[16:16] Ivano**
Please recommend me to her, Lord Wolfred.
**[16:21] Wolf**
Why should I recommend you to Dahlia?
**[16:24] Ivano**
I'm the eldest son of a storied
merchant company,
**[16:28] Ivano**
and I've worked at the
Guild for sixteen years.
**[16:31] Ivano**
I take pride in my company
management and trade skills.
**[16:35] Wolf**
Then you should take over
your family's business.
**[16:37] Ivano**
We lost it all during my father's time.
**[16:41] Ivano**
I ran to the royal capital as if
I was trying to escape that,
**[16:44] Ivano**
and the work I found for myself
was at the Trade Guild.
**[16:48] Ivano**
Miss Dahlia's company
is incredibly attractive.
**[16:51] Ivano**
But a merchant company
with no merchants in it?
**[16:54] Ivano**
She'd just be fodder for all the others!
**[16:57] Ivano**
I cannot stand that thought.
**[16:59] Wolf**
Yet it's not even your own company?
**[17:02] Ivano**
She envisions golden dreams that might
have the power to change the world.
**[17:07] Ivano**
There isn't a merchant out there
who wouldn't be roused by that!
**[17:11] Ivano**
So is there any way you would
recommend me to her?
**[17:16] Wolf**
Will you promise me two things?
**[17:19] Wolf**
Use covenant magic at a
church to make it binding.
**[17:22] Wolf**
First, you will not intentionally
disadvantage Dahlia or her company.
**[17:25] Ivano**
Of course, if that will earn your trust.
What's the other promise?
**[17:28] Wolf**
I want you to protect Dahlia above all else.
**[17:31] Wolf**
If anything happens, I want Dahlia's
protection to come before the company,
**[17:36] Wolf**
before everything else.
**[17:40] Ivano**
As a man, you have my word.
**[17:44] Wolf**
Here. Take this to make your preparations.
**[17:48] Ivano**
This is a gold coin commemorating
the coronation!
**[17:51] Wolf**
I've heard that it takes
money to change professions.
**[17:54] Wolf**
Please accept it, but don't tell Dahlia.
**[17:57] Ivano**
Understood. Then I shall accept
it without reservation.
**[18:00] Ivano**
Also, from now on, please call me Ivano.
**[18:16] Gabriella**
Yesterday was tough, wasn't it?
**[18:18] Dahlia**
Without your guidance,
I would have been helpless.
**[18:22] Dahlia**
Thank you so much.
**[18:24] Gabriella**
Dahlia, let me apologize in advance.
**[18:27] Dahlia**
Huh?
**[18:28] Gabriella**
That foam pump bottle...
**[18:29] Gabriella**
It was so wonderful to use that
I recommended it to a friend.
**[18:33] Gabriella**
And now we've just received an
order for two hundred of them.
**[18:37] Gabriella**
It'll keep us quite busy.
**[18:39] Dahlia**
I'm so grateful, I think I might cry.
**[18:42] Gabriella**
Also, a request came in from the chair
of the Orlando Trade Company for you,
**[18:45] Gabriella**
as chair of the Rossetti Company,
asking to be a distributor.
**[18:49] Gabriella**
Will you meet with him?
**[18:51] Gabriella**
I suspect he wants to apologize.
**[19:03] (Flashback) Dominic**
They say victory favors the
first to make a move, don't they?
**[19:09] Dahlia**
Raise your head. It's all in the past.
**[19:13] Ireneo**
I appreciate you saying that.
**[19:16] Dahlia**
Please, can't you speak to
me the way you used to?
**[19:20] Ireneo**
Thank you for being so kind.
**[19:24] Ireneo**
Here. There are twelve gold coins inside.
**[19:28] Dahlia**
I've already received reparations!
**[19:30] Ireneo**
I want to leave some kind of proof
that I've apologized to you.
**[19:33] Ireneo**
Purely for my own gratification.
**[19:36] Gabriella**
You should accept it.
**[19:38] Gabriella**
Unless you'd like to pressure the
Orlando Trading Company, that is.
**[19:42] Dahlia**
All right. I accept.
**[19:46] Ireneo**
I have one request.
**[19:48] Ireneo**
I hope you won't sue Tobias over
the magic device registration.
**[19:53] Ireneo**
Of course, I can't force your hand.
This is only my own personal hope.
**[19:58] Ireneo**
In exchange, I have a proposal for you.
**[20:02] Ireneo**
For the next three years, we will give your
materials orders the highest priority.
**[20:08] Ireneo**
And we won't make exempt any materials,
even the most unusual or rare.
**[20:14] Gabriella**
What do you think, Dahlia?
**[20:15] Dahlia**
I have one request.
**[20:18] Ireneo**
Please, ask anything of me.
I'll do whatever is in my power.
**[20:21] Dahlia**
I'd like to procure fairy crystal
as quickly as possible.
**[20:26] Ireneo**
Fairy crystal? All right. I'll arrange
to contact all of our suppliers.
**[20:33] Ireneo**
Gabriella, would you grant me a little
time to speak with Miss Dahlia alone?
**[20:38] Gabriella**
My, Ireneo! Are you planning to woo her?
**[20:41] Ireneo**
I wouldn't do anything so unbecoming.
**[20:51] Ireneo**
Miss Dahlia, I wasn't sure if
I should give this to you.
**[20:55] Ireneo**
I intended it to be a wedding gift,
**[20:57] Ireneo**
but consider it compensation
for the trouble I've caused you.
**[21:00] Ireneo**
It's small, but I'm told it's
the horn of a female unicorn.
**[21:04] Ireneo**
I can't tell if it's real or not, though.
**[21:06] Ireneo**
I heard that it can be used to nullify
any toxin and ease any pain.
**[21:11] Dahlia**
Why are you giving this to me?
**[21:13] Ireneo**
Mister Carlo asked me to.
**[21:16] Ireneo**
It took far longer than I thought,
**[21:18] Ireneo**
but will you accept it so that
I can keep my promise to him?
**[21:24] Dahlia**
All right.
**[21:25] Ireneo**
I regret that you're not my sister-in-law.
**[21:29] Ireneo**
But I think that's probably best for you.
**[21:32] Ireneo**
This is the last time I
will call you "Miss Dahlia."
**[21:35] Ireneo**
From now on, I hope our relationship
will be that of two company leaders,
**[21:39] Ireneo**
Lady Chair of the Rossetti Company.
**[21:41] Dahlia**
Of course, Mister Ireneo.
**[21:43] Dahlia**
No... Chairman of the
Orlando Trading Company.
**[21:48] servant**
Lord Wolfred, Lord Guido has arrived.
**[21:52] Wolfred**
I'll be right there.
**[21:58] Guido**
It's been a while, hasn't it, Wolfred?
**[22:01] Wolf**
Indeed it has, brother.

**[00:07] Guido**
Father was called to the royal
palace first thing this morning.
**[00:10] Guido**
He was most disappointed that he
wouldn't get to see you, Wolfred.
**[00:13] Guido**
I'm sorry, but would you mind
talking to me in his stead?
**[00:18] Wolf**
No, I don't mind. I asked to talk because
**[00:21] Wolf**
the Rossetti Company, for which
I've recently become a guarantor,
**[00:24] Wolf**
will soon be doing business with the
knights' monster suppression force.
**[00:29] Wolf**
I wanted to let him know.

**[02:02] Guido**
I see.
**[02:04] Guido**
You've clearly fostered
some very good relationships.
**[02:06] Wolf**
Yes. I'm very grateful for them.
**[02:10] Guido**
Father asked me to tell you that this villa
and its staff are yours to do with as you wish.
**[02:16] Guido**
He doesn't mind if you use them
to help the Rossetti Company.
**[02:20] Guido**
Also, if you ever need water or ice
magic stones, I can accommodate you.
**[02:26] Guido**
Should you have difficulty with anything
else, don't hesitate to tell me.
**[02:30] Guido**
I'll do everything I can for you.
**[02:32] Wolf**
Thank you. That's a tremendous help.
**[02:36] Guido**
Changing the subject, Wolfred,
are you considering marriage at all?
**[02:43] Wolf**
Not at the moment. I'm fine as I am.
**[02:46] Guido**
Are you still keeping
company with Lady Gastoni?
**[02:49] Wolf**
Yes, she's kind enough
to treat me very well.
**[02:54] Guido**
I see.
**[02:57] Guido**
Wolfred, I heard that this is the first
time you've ever contacted our father.
**[03:04] Wolf**
Is it? I haven't been inconvenienced
in any way before now,
**[03:09] Wolf**
so I suppose I've had no need.
**[03:13] Wolf; internal**
* I hardly have any memories*
* of even speaking with him.*
**[03:16] Wolf; internal**
*What am I supposed to want from him?*
**[03:18] Wolf; internal**
* He's allowing me to live without worry*
* for food, shelter, or clothing.*
**[03:22] Wolf; internal**
* He also permitted me to join the monster*
* suppression force. That's enough for me.*
**[03:28] Guido**
Are you thinking of leaving the
Scalfaratto family in the future?
**[03:34] Guido**
I thought this might be part of such a plan.
**[03:37] Wolf**
I...
**[03:38] Wolf**
I would like to be independent someday,
**[03:41] Wolf**
but the company is a
completely unrelated matter.
**[03:44] Guido**
Is it? In that case, is there
anything you need or want?
**[03:50] Wolf**
Not at the moment.
**[03:52] Guido**
Have you given any thought to employment
outside the monster suppression force?
**[03:57] Wolf**
I can't say I have.
**[03:59] Guido**
Then you don't plan to
renounce the Scarlet Armor?
**[04:03] Wolf**
No, not at present.
**[04:06] Wolf; internal**
* We don't have the sort of relationship*
* where we talk like this,*
**[04:09] Wolf; internal**
* so why is he forcing himself to*
* act like an older brother now?*
**[04:16] Wolf**
Is something wrong, brother?
**[04:21] Guido**
I'm sorry.
**[04:23] Guido**
I know that you've avoided me.
**[04:26] Guido**
I've used the lack of opportunities to talk
as an excuse to run from you until now.
**[04:31] Wolf; internal**
*So that's what it is.*
**[04:33] Wolf; internal**
* All of his unexplained behavior*
* springs from a sense of guilt.*
**[04:37] Wolf; internal**
*Most likely over that day...*
**[04:40] (Flashback) Man**
Don't let them get away!
**[04:41] (Flashback) Woman**
Who put you up to this?!
**[04:47] (Flashback) Guido's mom**
Guido!
**[04:53] (Flashback) bandit**
Don't let your guard down!
**[04:55] (Flashback) bandit 2**
They're tough!
**[04:56] (Flashback) bandit 3**
Surround them! Surround them!
**[04:58] (Flashback) Wolf; young**
Mother...
**[05:29] Guido**
I've regretted it all this time.
**[05:37] Guido**
If you and Dame Vanessa
hadn't protected us that day,
**[05:42] Guido**
both my mother and I would have died.
**[05:44] Guido**
The fact that I couldn't save Dame Vanessa...
**[05:47] Guido**
that I stole your mother from you...
**[05:49] Guido**
I know apologizing now
won't make any difference,
**[05:52] Guido**
but please know how sorry I am.
**[05:55] Wolf**
Please raise your head.
You've done nothing to apologize for.
**[05:59] Guido**
If I had fought, then maybe
Dame Vanessa wouldn't have died.
**[06:04] Guido**
No, as a man, as your older brother...
**[06:07] Guido**
I should have died to protect
you and Dame Vanessa!
**[06:11] Wolf**
Please take that back, brother.
**[06:15] Wolf**
That day, my mother fought
because she chose to.
**[06:19] Guido**
But I can use magic. If I'd gone out first...
**[06:23] Wolf**
She fought to protect you.
Saying that you should have died instead
**[06:27] Wolf**
is no way to repay the knight
Dame Vanessa Scalfaratto.
**[06:30] Wolf**
So please take those words back.
**[06:35] Guido**
I'm sorry. I take it back.
**[06:39] Wolf**
Thank you. I apologize for
speaking with such disrespect.
**[06:55] Guido**
I thought that you resented me and
that avoiding me was only natural.
**[07:01] Wolf**
I don't resent you, nor have I avoided you.
**[07:04] Wolf**
We simply haven't had the
opportunity to meet. That's all.
**[07:06] Guido**
I'm sorry. I should have spoken
with you like this sooner.
**[07:11] Wolf**
It's all right.
**[07:12] Guido**
That day, when you fought,
I was frozen with fear.
**[07:24] (Flashback) Guido's mom**
Guido, you mustn't go out there!
**[07:25] Guido**
My mother clung to me to protect me,
and I couldn't throw her off.
**[07:41] Guido**
When I stepped out of the carriage,
everything was red...
**[07:52] Guido**
To this day, I see Dame Vanessa
and the fallen knights in my dreams.
**[08:02] Wolf; internal**
* I don't know how many times*
* I've had that nightmare.*
**[08:06] Wolf; internal**
*Is my brother the same way?*
**[08:11] Guido**
I am truly sorry that I'm such
a contemptible older brother.
**[08:15] Wolf**
Not at all. I've had similar dreams.
**[08:20] Wolf**
It'd be nice if there were a way to
be spared the dreams we don't want.
**[08:24] Guido**
In that case, I recommend marriage.
**[08:27] Guido**
It may not rid you of them completely,
but I think you'll have less of them.
**[08:30] Wolf**
I feel that would be difficult to implement,
but I'll keep it in mind.
**[08:37] Guido**
I haven't been able to do anything
for you as your older brother.
**[08:40] Guido**
Please allow me to make it up to you.
**[08:43] Guido**
Whether it concerns business or the palace,
please come to me for anything.
**[08:47] Wolf**
Thank you.
**[08:50] Wolf**
I don't know anything about business relations,
so I'd appreciate your advice on that.
**[08:57] Wolf**
And if you're willing to indulge me,
**[09:00] Wolf**
I'd like to ask for materials used
to imbue items with magic.
**[09:04] Guido**
Of course. I'll procure whatever I can.
**[09:07] Guido**
What are you looking for?
**[09:09] Wolf**
Fairy crystal.
**[09:11] Guido**
All right. If I find any, I'll send it to you.
**[09:14] Wolf**
Thank you.
**[09:17] Guido**
In the meantime, I think you
should try speaking with our father.
**[09:21] Wolf**
If the opportunity presents itself...
**[09:23] Guido**
I feel bad because I only
go a few times a year,
**[09:27] Guido**
but I believe he visits
Dame Vanessa's grave monthly.
**[09:33] Wolf**
I see.
**[09:36] Wolf; internal**
* Perhaps my father loved*
* my mother more than I knew.*
**[09:45] Guido**
I will pray that your dreams
of that day go away, Wolfred.
**[09:50] Wolf; internal**
*I hadn't even realized it.*
**[09:54] Wolf; internal**
* The nightmares that haunted*
* me for so many years...*
**[09:56] Wolf; internal**
* Since the day I met her,*
* I haven't had it even once.*
**[10:10] Gabriella**
Are you ready?
**[10:11] Dahlia**
Yes.
**[10:16] Fermo**
I'm here from the Gandolfi
workshop. My name is Fermo.
**[10:19] Fermo**
Pleasure doing business with you.
**[10:23] Dahlia**
The item I wanted to consult with
you about is this foam pump bottle.
**[10:31] Fermo**
That's...
**[10:33] Fermo**
Does it hold a special kind of foam inside?
**[10:36] Dahlia**
No, it's regular soap and water.
**[10:38] Fermo**
Washing your face or hands,
in barber shops, children's toys...
**[10:42] Fermo**
It seems like this would
have a number of uses.
**[10:44] Dahlia**
The people who've tested it for me said
it's been useful for shaving facial hair.
**[10:49] Fermo**
I see! I'd like to try that once myself.
**[10:53] Gabriella**
Ivano.
**[10:54] Ivano**
Right.
**[10:55] Ivano**
Mister Fermo, this way, please.
**[10:59] Fermo**
Huh? For what?
**[11:01] Gabriella**
Since you have the opportunity,
why not tidy yourself up?
**[11:08] Fermo**
This is great! If these pump bottles
become widespread,
**[11:12] Fermo**
maybe we'll see less razor burn
and stray whiskers around.
**[11:16] Dahlia**
I'm glad you like it.
**[11:19] Fermo**
Is the mechanism for creating
the foam in the pump section?
**[11:23] Dahlia**
Yes. These documents contain
the specifications.
**[11:27] Dahlia**
The parts come off the top.
**[11:32] Fermo**
May I have a look?
**[11:34] Dahlia**
Of course.
**[11:38] Fermo**
I see.
**[11:40] Fermo**
We can make this.
**[11:42] Gabriella**
If possible, we'd like to rush
production in the first month.
**[11:45] Gabriella**
We'll need over fifteen
hundred units monthly.
**[11:48] Gabriella**
For every hundred, you'll receive two
gold coins and three large silvers.
**[11:52] Gabriella**
What do you say?
**[11:53] Fermo**
All right. We'll take the job.
**[11:57] Fermo**
But...
**[11:58] Fermo**
If we're making these for shaving,
this top is too small for a man's hands.
**[12:04] Fermo**
A larger one would be easier for children
and the elderly to use, as well.
**[12:13] Fermo**
If they'll be in places where
lots of people will use them,
**[12:16] Fermo**
it'd be better to have the center
of mass in the base for stability.
**[12:19] Fermo**
Folks will also be happier if it holds more.
**[12:22] Fermo**
It might also be good to affix it
to a pedestal to deter theft.
**[12:26] Dahlia**
I hadn't thought that far.
**[12:30] Fermo**
Is this unrelated to the codevelopment
project you mentioned in your letter?
**[12:34] Dahlia**
No. I'd like you to work with
me to improve this bottle.
**[12:39] Dahlia**
If the improved version goes to market,
**[12:41] Dahlia**
I'll rewrite the profit contract
under both of our names.
**[12:47] Fermo**
Why?
**[12:48] Dahlia**
Huh?
**[12:49] Fermo**
If you want to make improvements,
you can just tell me to fix certain parts.
**[12:56] Fermo**
There's no point in listing
both our names, is there?
**[12:59] Fermo**
Vice Chair.
**[13:00] Fermo**
Is this your way of showing
pity on our workshop?
**[13:04] Gabriella**
It's exactly as my letter stated.
**[13:06] Garbiella**
"A promising, talented magic artificer
is seeking an artisan to codevelop with."
**[13:13] Fermo**
A codeveloper would be on board
from the very beginning of the project!
**[13:19] Fermo**
This product's already complete!
**[13:21] Dahlia**
But the Gandolfi workshop can make
further improvements to it, right?
**[13:26] Fermo**
We can.
**[13:27] Dahlia**
And that's why.
**[13:33] Fermo**
So we each contribute ideas
and start by making what we can?
**[13:37] Fermo**
If something good comes of it,
would we make that our next product?
**[13:41] Dahlia**
I'd be grateful if we did.
**[13:43] Dahlia**
I'll pay for the materials and
labor required for prototyping.
**[13:47] Fermo**
I don't need either of those.
**[13:50] Fermo**
There's no need to list me as a codeveloper!
**[13:54] Fermo**
Instead, I'd rather you commission any
new items you make from our workshop.
**[13:59] Dahlia**
That won't do!
**[14:00] Dahlia**
If we're going to collaborate
and create something together,
**[14:03] Dahlia**
then please name yourself a codeveloper!
**[14:06] Fermo**
All of the renown and profits
should go to the original inventor!
**[14:13] Dahlia**
You're right.
**[14:16] Fermo**
You understand now?
**[14:18] Dahlia**
I'm new to this, so I didn't realize.
Please register it as a new item in your name.
**[14:24] Fermo**
Why would I do that?!
**[14:26] Dahlia**
I apologize for asking you to place
the name of a novice like me
**[14:31] Dahlia**
next to yours on a contract.
**[14:34] Fermo**
You've got it wrong!
**[14:35] Fermo**
I didn't make the original, so I don't want
to make any money via the profit contract!
**[14:40] Fermo**
I admit that the workshop is
running a little sideways,
**[14:43] Fermo**
but I'm not accepting charity from anyone!
**[14:46] Dahlia**
That wasn't my intention!
**[14:55] Fermo**
When I took that bottle apart, you
instantly came up with several ideas.
**[15:01] Dahlia**
You considered the product's users
and what would make them happy.
**[15:07] Dahlia**
And when you looked at the bottle, that gleam
in your eyes was that of my ideal artisan.
**[15:14] Dahlia**
So please.
**[15:15] Fermo**
You're saying you want to develop with me
because you see me as an experienced artisan?
**[15:21] Dahlia**
Yes.
**[15:29] Fermo**
All right.
**[15:31] Fermo**
You can put my name on the profit
contract as a codeveloper!
**[15:36] Fermo**
I'll be in your debt to start,
but remember this!
**[15:40] Fermo**
One day, I'll come up with something
that'll really bring in the money!
**[15:48] Dahlia**
Of course!
**[15:49] Dahlia**
I'm looking forward to it!
**[16:02] Dahlia**
I did it!
**[16:10] Dahlia**
*And finally, I'll increase its durability.*
**[16:19] Dahlia**
In that case, I'll make it lighter.
**[16:26] Dahlia; internal**
* Maybe unicorn horn has some quality*
* that cuts through magical energy.*
**[16:32] Dahlia**
*Come to think of it...*
**[16:43] Dahlia**
All right.
**[16:50] Wolf**
Sorry to drop by without notice.
Are you sure you aren't too busy?
**[16:54] Dahlia**
Yes. My company meeting schedule
has settled down for the time being.
**[16:59] Wolf**
You've been working hard.
**[17:01] Wolf**
Oh, right. Here.
**[17:03] Wolf**
I brought my mother's book and her notes.
**[17:05] Wolf**
She wrote about etiquette in conversations
with nobles. I think it'll be useful.
**[17:09] Dahlia**
Thank you. Please come inside.
**[17:17] Wolf**
Oh? Dahlia, did you hurt your leg?
**[17:21] Dahlia**
Huh?
**[17:25] Wolf**
Who did this to you?!
**[17:27] Dahlia**
No, this was...
**[17:29] Wolf**
Let me see.
**[17:31] Wolf**
You have a bruise on your right cheek
and medicine patches on your neck...
**[17:34] Wolf**
Your shoulder, too?
**[17:36] Dahlia**
The result of my own carelessness. That's all.
**[17:39] Wolf**
Only your right side is injured, isn't it?
**[17:41] Wolf**
That wouldn't happen by simply falling.
**[17:44] Wolf**
Dahlia, tell me the truth!
**[17:46] Dahlia**
Really, no one else was involved!
**[17:50] Dahlia**
I was trying to imbue using sköll,
and I got blown back! That's all!
**[17:58] Wolf**
I see.
**[18:00] Wolf**
I'd love to hear every single detail.
**[18:03] Dahlia**
Of course.
**[18:06] Wolf**
What's this?
**[18:07] Dahlia**
It's a bracelet I imbued with a sköll fang.
**[18:11] Dahlia**
Their fangs have an effect on wind magic,
**[18:14] Dahlia**
but when used as a material in imbuing,
**[18:16] Dahlia**
they demand a tremendous
amount of magical energy.
**[18:19] Wolf**
Is it similar to when you
made my glasses for me?
**[18:24] Dahlia**
No, it's not like that.
**[18:27] Dahlia**
I secretly tried this before, and it drained
my magic so badly I nearly fainted.
**[18:31] Dahlia**
I ended up vomiting.
**[18:32] Wolf**
Yet you dared such recklessness again?
**[18:35] Dahlia**
Well, that was four years ago,
and it wasn't anything so serious.
**[18:41] Dahlia**
Besides, I'm certain my skills and my
magical reserves have improved since then.
**[18:47] Dahlia**
And just in case I didn't succeed,
**[18:49] Dahlia**
I made this second attempt in my bedroom.
**[18:55] Dahlia**
As I began imbuing the bracelet, it felt
easier and easier to put magic into it.
**[19:00] Dahlia**
Then the feeling changed, as though all
of my magic was being sucked away.
**[19:08] Dahlia**
It took a lot of my magic,
but the imbuing itself was a success.
**[19:13] Wolf**
Then how did you get injured?
**[19:17] Dahlia**
After I succeeded,
I suppose I let down my guard.
**[19:20] Dahlia**
When I put the bracelet on, I sent
the tiniest amount of magic into it.
**[19:35] Dahlia**
And that's how I ended up as you see me now.
**[19:40] Wolf**
Dahlia, you have two choices.
**[19:43] Wolf**
Either you drink a potion, or I take you
to a church right this moment.
**[19:47] Dahlia**
It isn't anything so dire!
**[19:50] Dahlia**
Besides, before I made the sköll bracelet...
**[19:54] Dahlia**
I made this.
**[19:56] Dahlia**
Thanks to the unicorn's ability to reduce
pain, it doesn't hurt all that much.
**[20:01] Wolf**
I see. In that case, are you up to going
somewhere with me right now?
**[20:06] Dahlia**
Um, I'm getting the feeling that
you doubt me for some reason...
**[20:18] Dahlia**
All right! I'll drink a potion!
**[20:22] Dahlia**
When I think about how many bottles of my
usual wine I could buy for what this cost...
**[20:26] Dahlia**
What a waste.
**[20:28] Wolf**
All right. Then next time,
I'll bring you potions.
**[20:31] Dahlia**
Please don't!
**[20:36] Dahlia**
Um... I'm sorry I made you worry about me.
**[20:41] Wolf**
No, I'm the one who should apologize.
**[20:44] Wolf**
I'm sorry for touching you
without permission earlier.
**[20:47] Dahlia**
Please don't let it trouble you.
I knew it was out of concern for me.
**[20:53] Dahlia**
I thought that even if I failed, the worst
that would happen was that I'd faint.
**[20:58] Dahlia**
And since I live alone now,
**[21:01] Dahlia**
I thought that, even then,
I wouldn't worry anyone.
**[21:05] Wolf**
The fact that you think like that
makes me worry even more.
**[21:09] Dahlia**
But I'll be more careful from now on!
**[21:12] Dahlia**
After all, an accident like
that may happen again,
**[21:16] Dahlia**
and if I do faint, I have a feeling
you'd be very worried for me.
**[21:22] Wolf**
Yes, I'd be grateful if you'd do that.
**[21:29] Dahlia**
Then I'll go put this away.
**[21:32] Wolf**
What are you going to do with it?
It isn't something you'd use, is it?
**[21:37] Dahlia**
That's right. It's dangerous,
so I thought I'd seal it up.
**[21:41] Wolf**
It's such a beautiful color. What a shame.
**[21:44] Dahlia**
Yes, but accidentally putting magic
into it sends you flying, so...
**[21:49] Wolf**
Then couldn't someone like me,
with no usable magical energy,
**[21:52] Wolf**
touch it without issue?
**[21:55] Dahlia**
Yes, but...
**[21:56] Wolf**
Dahlia, would you mind...
**[22:00] Wolf**
if I tried this bracelet out for a while?

**[00:00] Dahlia**
Since it's you, I'm sure it'll be fine,
**[00:03] Dahlia**
but please do be careful.
**[00:06] Wolf**
I will.
**[00:09] Wolf**
Indeed, nothing happened.
**[00:12] Wolf**
If it was blood-fixed,
do you think I could fly, too?
**[00:15] Dahlia**
Even without external magic energy,
you might be able to a little.
**[00:20] Wolf**
If you're just going to seal it away,
could you blood-fix it to me instead?
**[00:25] Wolf**
I'll pay for the bracelet, of course.
**[00:28] Dahlia**
What? But...
**[00:30] Wolf**
It'll only work for me that way,
**[00:33] Wolf**
but if I train my physical abilities,
I think I could make good use of it.
**[00:38] Dahlia**
By which you mean...
**[00:40] Wolf**
If all I can do is jump up and drop down,
**[00:42] Wolf**
then if I use strengthening magic,
I'll be fine when I fall.
**[00:45] Dahlia**
Even so, I can't possibly
use you as a test subject.
**[00:50] Wolf**
Don't you want to know what this can do?
**[00:54] Wolf**
Plus, we'll be testing the synergy between
strengthening magic and sköll fangs!
**[01:00] Dahlia**
I don't need payment for the bracelet.
I look forward to testing it with you.
**[01:26] Dahlia**
Now this bracelet is yours alone.
**[01:34] Wolf**
Thank you, Dahlia!
Let's go test it right now.
**[01:39] Dahlia**
Sure.

**[03:16] Wolf**
Dahlia, stay back just in case!
**[03:35] Dahlia**
Are you all right?! You don't feel sick?
**[03:39] Wolf**
No. It's so much fun!
**[03:43] Dahlia**
Huh?
**[03:45] Wolf**
It's like it gives my strengthening
a little extra push.
**[03:49] Wolf**
It feels easier to jump than before.
**[03:52] Wolf**
I'm going to try it a bit more!
**[04:05] Dahlia**
Incredible...
**[04:07] Dahlia**
Wolf! I know you're having fun,
but let's leave it at that!
**[04:12] Dahlia**
It would be bad if anyone saw you!
**[04:15] Wolf**
All right. I'll make this my last one.
**[04:23] Wolf**
Dahlia, won't you please sell
this to me officially?
**[04:30] Dahlia**
Then consider it a token of gratitude
for being a guarantor of my company.
**[04:38] Wolf**
There you go again, trying to give me things.
**[04:41] Dahlia**
It's thanks to you that I was even
able to discern its effects.
**[04:45] Wolf**
But if that's all, this is a
net loss for you, isn't it?
**[04:48] Dahlia**
In that case, why not meet in the middle?
Would you give me two potions?
**[04:53] Wolf**
Yes, with pleasure.
**[04:55] Wolf**
Oh, but if possible,
**[04:57] Wolf**
I'd prefer that you not perform any
dangerous experiments by yourself.
**[05:01] Wolf**
It'd be terrible if something happened
while you were alone.
**[05:05] Dahlia**
Yes, that's true.
**[05:07] Dahlia**
And the front gate can only be opened
by those who are magically registered.
**[05:13] Wolf**
Then, if it's all right with you,
would you register me?
**[05:17] Dahlia**
Yes, of course!
**[05:20] Dahlia**
I'd feel very reassured having you registered.
**[05:30] Wolf**
So it isn't the type where you perform the
magic registration on the gate itself?
**[05:34] Dahlia**
That's right. Can I ask you to place
your hand in the center, please?
**[05:37] Wolf**
All right.
**[05:45] Dahlia**
It's done.
**[05:46] Wolf**
Thank you, Dahlia.
**[05:48] Dahlia**
I'm the one who should be thanking you.
**[05:51] Dahlia**
I feel awkward asking you to do this,
**[05:56] Dahlia**
but if ever you can't reach me
for an extended period
**[05:58] Dahlia**
or if you suspect the worst,
I'd appreciate it if you called in the guard.
**[06:04] Wolf**
I hope the need for that never arises,
**[06:07] Wolf**
but I do feel a little better about things now.
**[06:11] Wolf**
I suppose all that's left is this.
**[06:13] Dahlia**
Conversational manners of the nobility?
**[06:17] Dahlia**
I didn't realize there was so much to it.
**[06:20] Wolf**
Yes. Things you should avoid saying would be...
**[06:24] Wolf**
starting right here.
**[06:26] Dahlia**
"Please remove your gloves for me."
**[06:30] Dahlia**
Oh, this is like what you told me about before!
**[06:34] Dahlia**
"Please allow me to hold your coat."
**[06:38] Dahlia**
Why would you ever leave
your coat with someone else?
**[06:41] Dahlia**
"I'm so tired from dancing,
I don't think I can move."
**[06:44] Dahlia**
In that case, I feel like it'd be
best to hurry home and rest.
**[06:50] Dahlia**
"Would you come look at the stars
from the west window with me?"
**[06:54] Dahlia**
Does it have to be the
west window specifically?
**[06:57] Wolf**
I'm sorry, Dahlia!
**[07:00] Wolf**
If you could possibly refrain
from saying them aloud, please...
**[07:05] Dahlia**
I'm sorry!
**[07:08] Dahlia**
I-It seems I have a visitor. I'll go and see.
**[07:13] Wolf**
I'm saved...
**[07:21] Marcella**
Hey!
**[07:22] Dahlia**
Mister Marcella!
**[07:24] Dahlia**
What brings you here?
**[07:26] Marcella**
This.
**[07:28] Dahlia**
What is it?
**[07:30] Dahlia**
Oh, clams! They look delicious.
**[07:33] Marcella**
It's the perfect season for them, right?
**[07:35] Dahlia**
Thank you. I'm delighted.
**[07:38] Marcella**
They're heavy. Shall I carry them up?
**[07:40] Dahlia**
Oh, I actually have company today.
**[07:46] Dahlia**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[07:49] Wolf**
Welcome back.
**[07:52] Wolf**
What's this?
**[07:54] Dahlia**
Wolf, do you like clams?
**[07:57] Dahlia**
A friend brought me these.
Shall we have them for dinner?
**[08:01] Wolf**
Yes, I'd love that!
**[08:04] Wolf**
I brought this. Would it be
difficult to pair with the clams?
**[08:10] Dahlia**
Is that whiskey?
**[08:12] Wolf**
I think it's apple brandy
that's been slightly aged.
**[08:16] Wolf**
The ducal Lady Althea gave it to me
and said to share it with a friend.
**[08:21] Dahlia**
Oh, thank you!
**[08:25] Dahlia**
Since you've brought it,
shall we have some after dinner?
**[08:29] Wolf**
All right. In that case, let's have the
usual white wine with the clams.
**[08:35] Wolf**
To the Rossetti Company's prosperity
and the good fortune of tomorrow.
**[08:39] Dahlia**
To peaceful hearts and minds.
**[08:41] Wolf; Dahlia**
Cheers!
**[08:46] Wolf**
This is astoundingly delicious!
**[08:48] Dahlia**
Maybe because they're so fresh.
**[08:51] Wolf**
To make sure we don't miss out on a drop
of this, we may have to eat from the pan.
**[08:57] Dahlia**
Eating straight from the pan
isn't very good manners.
**[09:01] Dahlia**
Better not do that just anywhere.
**[09:03] Wolf**
Then I'll limit it to clams steamed
in white wine at the Green Tower!
**[09:12] Dahlia**
Oh, that goes down easy!
**[09:15] Dahlia**
The flavor and aroma are wonderful.
**[09:18] Wolf**
She said the queen enjoys it as well,
so she sends her some every year.
**[09:23] Dahlia**
To Her Majesty?
**[09:25] Wolf**
The queen is Lady Althea's younger sister,
though they aren't related by blood.
**[09:30] Dahlia**
Er, I feel like I just heard
something rather incredible.
**[09:35] Wolf**
It's somewhat well-known.
**[09:39] Dahlia; internal**
* I don't know how many times in my life*
* I'll have the chance to drink this.*
**[09:48] Dahlia**
Is something wrong?
**[09:50] Wolf**
You looked like a squirrel,
and it made me laugh.
**[09:53] Dahlia**
A squirrel?
**[09:54] Dahlia**
I was just making sure to savor it, that's all.
**[09:57] Wolf**
It's so good that it makes me
wish we had brandy glasses.
**[10:02] Dahlia**
Let's go shopping for them together sometime.
**[10:05] Wolf**
Sure, though it probably won't be until
after things with the company settle down.
**[10:11] Dahlia**
Yeah. I actually have a meeting with Mister
Ivano tomorrow to discuss what comes next.
**[10:17] Wolf**
Oh, speaking of which...
**[10:19] Wolf**
I know my recommending Ivano
for employment was sudden.
**[10:23] Wolf**
You didn't mind, did you?
**[10:24] Dahlia**
Quite the opposite. I was grateful.
**[10:27] Dahlia**
That said, our first project has
been a rather difficult one.
**[10:31] Wolf**
I suppose, yes.
**[10:34] Wolf**
But I think it will end up
helping a lot of people.
**[10:38] Dahlia**
I'm glad to hear you say that.
**[10:42] Dahlia**
On the subject, are any countermeasures
applied to your boots themselves?
**[10:47] Dahlia**
Like purification magic, for example?
**[10:49] Wolf**
I've never heard of anyone using that.
**[10:52] Wolf**
Leather boots don't dry quickly,
so I try not to wash them very often.
**[10:57] Dahlia**
Using a dryer wouldn't work?
**[10:59] Wolf**
I've tried it, but the heat
damages the leather.
**[11:05] Dahlia**
If all you need is to lower the heat,
I can adjust that in no time.
**[11:09] Dahlia**
I'll go and try it right now!
**[11:13] Wolf**
Can I go with you?
**[11:16] Dahlia**
If the wind is no warmer than the touch of a
hand, it shouldn't damage the leather, right?
**[11:22] Wolf**
I think that'd be fine.
**[11:27] Dahlia**
How about this?
**[11:32] Wolf**
Yes, that seems perfect.
**[11:37] Wolf**
Is there a way to make sure it
reaches all the way to the toes?
**[11:41] Dahlia**
If I attach a hose from a water heater...
**[11:44] Dahlia**
then poke some holes along its length,
I think it should reach everywhere.
**[11:50] Wolf**
Good idea! That does seem like
it'd dry all the way to the toes.
**[11:53] Dahlia**
For the moment, shall we test it with these?
**[12:01] Dahlia**
There's something inside.
**[12:04] Dahlia**
Honestly, Dad!
**[12:07] Wolf**
Um, are you going to keep that as a memento?
**[12:13] Dahlia**
I'm going to burn it!
**[12:20] Dahlia**
I'm done.
**[12:22] Wolf**
It's dry all the way through to the
toe... and there's no damage.
**[12:26] Wolf**
If we had just one of these,
everyone would be able to use it!
**[12:30] Dahlia**
Yes, but if you're going
to be sharing the device,
**[12:33] Dahlia**
it's probably best to stick
to freshly washed pairs.
**[12:37] Dahlia**
It spreads, you see?
**[12:40] Wolf**
It spreads?
**[12:41] Dahlia**
I'm sure you'll be fine
so long as you take care.
**[12:44] Dahlia**
Wash thoroughly between your toes.
**[12:47] Dahlia**
After you've bathed, dry them
carefully and apply medicine.
**[12:52] Dahlia**
Also...
**[12:53] Wolf**
Just a moment! Let me write this down.
**[12:57] Dahlia**
Here.
**[13:05] Wolf**
Thank you. I'll share all this
with my friends, too.
**[13:08] Wolf**
But I have to say, Dahlia, you're very
knowledgeable about foot fungus.
**[13:13] Dahlia**
My father had it.
**[13:15] Wolf**
Your father did?
**[13:18] Dahlia; internal**
*In my previous life.*
**[13:20] Dahlia; internal**
*I'm sorry, Dad!*
**[13:22] Dahlia**
Oh, would you like to try this
at the barracks to test it out?
**[13:27] Dahlia**
I'd be grateful if you'd tell
me your thoughts on it later.
**[13:31] Wolf**
Of course, and thank you. But I feel as if
something like this just happened recently...
**[13:39] Wolf**
If I use this at the barracks,
**[13:40] Wolf**
won't it be like the five-toed
socks and insoles all over again?
**[13:45] Dahlia**
This is just a minor modification,
so I wouldn't think so...
**[13:51] Dahlia**
But I'll consult with Mister Ivano,
just in case.
**[13:55] Wolf**
Good.
**[13:57] Ivano**
I am truly, from the bottom of my heart,
glad that you came to me first.
**[14:03] Dahlia**
Do you really think it will sell that well?
**[14:06] Ivano**
It will. And I'll push it
with everything I've got.
**[14:10] Ivano**
Just given the market
that comes to mind offhand,
**[14:12] Ivano**
I think we can make a massive profit.
**[14:15] Ivano**
When did you start developing this?
**[14:18] Dahlia**
Yesterday.
**[14:19] Ivano**
What?
**[14:20] Dahlia**
I think it took about
twenty minutes to make.
**[14:24] Dahlia**
Oh, but I've done the proper safety checks!
Please don't worry on that account.
**[14:29] Ivano**
Miss Dahlia, if there are other items you're
considering creating or prototyping,
**[14:34] Ivano**
or if there's anything you'd like to make,
please tell me as soon as you have the idea.
**[14:39] Ivano**
I'd like to be able to brace myself...
I mean, consider future sales avenues.
**[14:45] Dahlia**
Let's see... Other than the items
that are already in progress,
**[14:49] Dahlia**
I'd like to make the small
magic hob even smaller,
**[14:52] Dahlia**
and I'd like to make my
waterproof fabric lighter.
**[14:54] Dahlia**
The only item I'm prototyping is a
refrigerator with a freezer attached.
**[14:59] Dahlia**
Other things I'd like to make include
a magic device for drying clothes
**[15:03] Dahlia**
and a pot that would be handy for cooking.
**[15:05] Dahlia**
Oh, I'm also thinking about
a home heater for the winter.
**[15:10] Dahlia**
Also, I'm not planning on selling them,
**[15:13] Dahlia**
but I'm prototyping a faux magic sword.
**[15:16] Ivano**
I see.
**[15:18] Ivano**
Leave the logistics of mass production
and sales avenues to me.
**[15:21] Ivano**
I'll register every single
item and sell them all.
**[15:25] Ivano**
But that last one, the faux magic sword...
**[15:29] Ivano**
I recommend not letting word of that get out.
**[15:31] Dahlia**
So you do think that's a bad idea?
**[15:34] Dahlia**
A magic artificer making weapons, I mean...
**[15:36] Ivano**
No, that's not the problem.
**[15:40] Ivano**
One wrong move and you might be taken away
by bad people or important personages.
**[15:47] Dahlia**
Me?
**[15:49] Ivano**
If your magic swords reach the point where
they could increase our military might,
**[15:54] Ivano**
it's entirely possible.
**[15:56] Ivano**
And in that case, they could be
exported to countries with few mages.
**[16:01] Dahlia**
I hadn't thought that far ahead.
**[16:05] Dahlia**
Oh!
**[16:06] Dahlia**
U-Um...
**[16:09] Dahlia**
I also made a magic device
imbued with wind magic.
**[16:12] Dahlia**
It's been blood-fixed, so only Wolf can use it,
**[16:15] Dahlia**
but it has potential in battle.
**[16:17] Ivano**
Oh, if only a specific individual
can use it, that's fine.
**[16:21] Ivano**
From now on, if you're ever
worried about anything, come to me.
**[16:25] Ivano**
That's what I'm here for.
**[16:28] Dahlia**
I'm afraid I'll be troubling you quite often.
**[16:31] Ivano**
Also, here you are.
**[16:33] Ivano**
A copy of my church-sworn contract.
**[16:36] Ivano**
I'd like for you to keep it, Miss Dahlia.
**[16:40] Dahlia**
"Ivano Badoer will not intentionally
**[16:44] Dahlia**
disadvantage Dahlia Rossetti
or the Rossetti Company."
**[16:49] Ivano**
I thought it might help you feel more
at ease entrusting everything to me.
**[16:54] Ivano**
I want you to feel free to make
whatever you want to make.
**[16:59] Dahlia**
All right. I'll be sure to keep this safe.
**[17:02] Ivano**
I'm looking forward to seeing you register
more items than Mister Carlo did.
**[17:09] Dahlia**
Thank you, Mister Ivano.
**[17:13] Dahlia**
I'll do my best to catch up to my father.
**[17:16] Ivano**
Very good. Now, let's draw up the
paperwork for your new magic device!
**[17:25] Gabriella**
This shouldn't be a problem.
**[17:26] Gabriella**
If Ivano has checked it, I can't
imagine there are any errors.
**[17:30] Gabriella**
Just leave the rest to me.
**[17:34] Dahlia**
Um, about Mister Ivano...
**[17:39] Gabriella**
He chose this for himself.
**[17:41] Gabriella**
I imagine you're about to become very
busy, so I'd say the timing was perfect.
**[17:45] Gabriella**
Ivano will be able to handle
the areas where you're lacking.
**[17:51] Gabriella**
What is it? Does it still bother you?
**[17:54] Dahlia**
No, it's just...
**[17:57] Dahlia**
I feel bad for being such an
undependable company chair.
**[18:01] Dahlia**
It's a little late for that, though.
**[18:04] Gabriella**
Still, there's no need to be in a hurry.
I still feel Carlo owes me a debt, anyway.
**[18:10] Gabriella**
You could rely on me a little more.
**[18:14] Dahlia**
A debt...
**[18:16] Dahlia**
Gabriella, I have a favor to ask.
**[18:19] Dahlia**
Please call off my father's debt to you.
**[18:22] Gabriella**
What could you possibly mean?
**[18:25] Dahlia**
I'm the one who owes you a debt.
**[18:28] Dahlia**
I don't know how many years it will take,
**[18:30] Dahlia**
but I promise I'll repay you.
**[18:34] Gabriella**
Oh, honestly.
**[18:36] Dahlia**
I'm sorry. I know I'm being impertinent, but...
**[18:40] Gabriella**
That isn't what I meant. There's
more to what I told you before.
**[18:46] (Flashback) Carlo**
Gabriella,
**[18:48] (Flashback) Carlo**
if Dahlia ever has trouble,
either as a magic artificer or as a woman,
**[18:52] (Flashback) Carlo**
please give her advice.
**[18:55] (Flashback) Carlo**
Granted, my Dahlia is the type who'll
want to repay her debts herself.
**[19:02] Dahlia**
My father said that?
**[19:03] Gabriella**
It was like a prophecy.
**[19:05] Gabriella**
I would hate to not have you
indebted to me anymore,
**[19:08] Gabriella**
so I will continue to meddle as I have been.
**[19:11] Gabriella**
If you think you can repay me, go right ahead.
**[19:15] Dahlia**
Thank you!
**[19:19] Ivano**
Apologies for interrupting.
**[19:24] Ivano**
The captain of the monster suppression
force, Marquis Grat Bartoloni,
**[19:29] Ivano**
has sent a messenger to see
the head of the Rossetti Company.
**[19:32] Ivano**
He says he's their vice captain,
Sir Grizelda Lanza.
**[19:36] Dahlia**
What?
**[19:38] Gabriella**
Dahlia, what have you done this time?
**[19:43] Grizelda**
Pleased to meet you.
**[19:45] Grizelda**
I am the vice captain of the
Ordine Kingdom's monster suppression force.
**[19:49] Grizelda**
My name is Grizelda Lanza.
**[19:52] Grizelda**
The captain of the monster
suppression force, Grat Bartoloni,
**[19:56] Grizelda**
has entrusted me with a missive
for the head of the Rossetti Company.
**[20:04] Grizelda**
A verbal answer will suffice,
**[20:06] Grizelda**
so would it be possible to have
your reply here and now?
**[20:10] Dahlia**
Thank you for delivering this.
Allow me to read it over.
**[20:20] Dahlia**
What?
**[20:22] Grizelda**
May I read it, as well?
**[20:25] Dahlia**
Y-Yes.
**[20:26] Gabriella**
An invitation to the palace, is it?
**[20:30] Grizelda**
Madam Chair of the Rossetti Company,
have you any plans tomorrow?
**[20:35] Dahlia**
I d-don't.
**[20:39] Dahlia**
Why did I receive something like this?
**[20:42] Ivano**
The palace seems likely to work
on a more leisurely schedule.
**[20:48] Gabriella**
So they're either in a hurry or they
very much want to see Dahlia.
**[20:54] Gabriella**
In any case, we must prepare in all haste.
**[20:57] Gabriella**
Dahlia and I will go to a clothing lender.
**[20:59] Gabriella**
After that, we'll make an
appointment for hair and makeup.
**[21:02] Dahlia**
Right.
**[21:04] Gabriella**
Ivano, you will accompany her
to the palace as her attendant.
**[21:08] Gabriella**
Also, gather up any five-toed
socks and insoles we have.
**[21:14] Ivano**
Right away!
**[21:15] Gabriella**
After that, the two of you will study.
**[21:18] Gabriella**
I'll drill the bare minimum of
greetings and etiquette into you.
**[21:22] Gabriella**
We have my husband's and Lord
Wolfred's reputations to consider,
**[21:25] Gabriella**
so you'll be memorizing everything.
**[21:26] Dahlia; Ivano**
Thank you for your tutelage!
**[21:35] Dahlia**
I've crammed so much into my head,
I don't know what's what.
**[21:38] Ivano**
I know what you mean.
**[21:43] Gabriella**
Your break is over.
**[21:48] Gabriella**
Now, let's continue.
**[21:51] Dahlia; Ivano**
Yes, ma'am!
**[22:00] Ivano**
Well, let's go!
**[22:02] Dahlia**
I'll be counting on you.

**[00:03] Ivano**
Miss Dahlia?
**[00:04] Ivano**
Are you nervous?
**[00:06] Dahlia**
Somewhat? No, quite a lot?
**[00:10] Ivano**
Do you realize you're asking, not answering?
**[00:12] Dahlia**
You're rather calm.
**[00:14] Ivano**
Me? I'm nervous, too.
**[00:18] Dahlia**
You seem much more like the
head of a company than I do.
**[00:21] Ivano**
Pardon?
**[00:22] Dahlia**
Oh, nothing!

**[02:00] Ivano**
You can do this!
**[02:06] knight; female**
Someone from the monster suppression
force will come to escort you.
**[02:09] knight; female**
Please wait here for the time being.
**[02:11] Dahlia**
Oh, of course.
**[02:21] Wolf**
I'm here to escort you.
**[02:23] Dahlia**
Wolf!
**[02:26] Wolf**
Sorry. We can talk in the carriage.
**[02:32] Wolf**
I only heard this morning that the
captain had called you to the palace.
**[02:36] Wolf**
If I'd known sooner,
I could have sent a messenger.
**[02:39] Dahlia**
Please don't let it trouble you.
**[02:42] Dahlia**
But... do you know why I've been summoned?
**[02:46] Wolf**
He said he wanted to express his
gratitude for the socks and insoles.
**[02:49] Wolf**
The captain is a marquis, so I think
he meant it as a casual invitation.
**[02:55] Dahlia**
I feel a little better now.
**[03:01] Wolf**
Welcome to the monster
suppression force, Miss Dahlia.
**[03:07] Dahlia**
Thank you, Lord Wolfred.
**[03:14] Dahlia**
I am Dahlia Rossetti,
representing the Rossetti Company.
**[03:18] Dahlia**
Thank you for inviting me
here on this occasion.
**[03:23] Grat**
Grat Bartoloni, knight of Ordine
**[03:25] Grat**
and captain of the monster suppression force.
**[03:28] Grat**
Thank you for coming,
chairman of the Rossetti Company.
**[03:32] Dahlia**
Please, you needn't thank me.
It's an honor to be invited to the palace.
**[03:38] Dahlia**
As I am unaccustomed to such things,
**[03:40] Dahlia**
I hope you will forgive
any impropriety on my part.
**[03:44] Dahlia; internal**
* I'm going to trip over my words!*
* I just know it!*
**[03:47] Grat**
These are the men who tested the
five-toed socks and drying insoles.
**[03:52] Grat**
They're here to offer their thanks
to the head of the Rossetti Company.
**[03:56] Grat**
Just think of this as a simple introductory
chat and speak freely.
**[04:00] Dahlia**
That is most kind. Thank you.
**[04:02] Dahlia**
And thanks to all of you for writing such
detailed reports when you're so busy.
**[04:09] Dahlia**
These are the five-toed socks and insoles
that we're now producing large-scale.
**[04:14] Dahlia**
I'll send finished products as a token
of my appreciation at a later date,
**[04:19] Dahlia**
but please accept these
for today's discussion.
**[04:22] Grat**
We're grateful to have them.
**[04:24] Nikola**
It's great to have spares!
**[04:26] Dino**
Now I'm looking forward
to our next campaign.
**[04:31] Alfio**
Pardon my rudeness,
**[04:33] Alfio**
but this is the first time I've
heard of the Rossetti Company.
**[04:37] Alfio**
When were you established?
**[04:40] Dahlia**
We were only just founded.
**[04:43] Alfio**
Impressive! To think that these
are your first products...
**[04:47] Alfio**
I look forward to your future projects.
**[04:49] Dahlia**
Thank you.
**[04:53] Grat**
Are these methods you've listed to combat
foot fungus actually effective?
**[04:58] Dahlia**
Yes. And once the infection has cleared,
**[05:01] Dahlia**
they serve to prevent recurrences, as well.
**[05:04] Grat**
This says to wash thoroughly
using soap when bathing.
**[05:08] Dahlia**
Yes, clean carefully between each toe.
**[05:13] Grat**
"After bathing, towel dry the area
and apply medicine. Dry thoroughly."
**[05:19] Grat**
Would this still apply following
healing from the church?
**[05:23] Dahlia**
Yes. When receiving healing from the church,
**[05:26] Dahlia**
I recommend bringing a clean pair of shoes
**[05:29] Dahlia**
to change into after the treatment.
**[05:31] Grat**
You're saying to change shoes?
**[05:33] Dahlia**
Yes. Sometimes the fungus can
linger in your shoes, you see.
**[05:41] Grat**
It lingers, does it?
**[05:43] Nikola**
I always wear the same pair!
**[05:46] Dino**
I never knew that stuff
could be in your shoes!
**[05:49] Alfio**
Miss Chairman, what about sharing
boots meant for the battlefield?
**[05:53] Dahlia**
I think it would be best not to.
**[05:56] Drino**
But there are some guys who
never get foot fungus, right?
**[06:00] Dahlia**
Probably so, but there are also cases
where people just don't notice it.
**[06:04] Grat**
You get blisters that start itching.
Who wouldn't notice that?
**[06:10] Dahlia**
Actually, even without the blisters, if the skin
on the toes grows soft and doesn't recover,
**[06:15] Dahlia**
that can be the early stages of foot fungus.
**[06:18] Wolf**
What?
**[06:22] Dahlia**
Um, foot fungus can spread
in group living situations,
**[06:27] Dahlia**
so it's probably best if all of
you take preventative measures.
**[06:31] Dahlia**
And not just with your shoes.
Anything your bare feet might touch...
**[06:35] Dahlia**
For example, floor mats used after bathing
**[06:38] Dahlia**
or shared towels can all spread the fungus.
**[06:42] Dino**
Wh-What?!
**[06:44] Randolph**
Captain!
**[06:45] Grat**
To the baths! At once!
**[06:47] Grat**
Burn all of the floor mats and towels!
**[06:50] knights**
Sir!
**[06:51] Dahlia**
Please, wait! Just wash them!
**[06:54] Dahlia**
If you properly wash them and stop
sharing them, it should be just fine!
**[06:58] Grat**
No, Chairman Rossetti.
**[07:01] Grat**
We will tear this evil out by the root!
It must be done!
**[07:05] Grat**
Now, to the baths!
**[07:07] Drino**
Captain Grat!
**[07:09] Grat**
What is it?
**[07:10] Drino**
If you think about it, the root of
this evil is our own feet, right?
**[07:13] Grat**
Well, yes, that's true.
**[07:15] Drino**
I've just thought of the perfect plan!
**[07:19] Grat**
You have permission to speak. What is it?
**[07:21] Drino**
We'll cut off our feet, then go to the church
and have them regenerate new ones for us!
**[07:28] Drino**
That way, we can kill it completely!
**[07:31] Grat**
That makes sense.
**[07:33] Dahlia**
Absolutely not!
**[07:36] Dahlia**
Please get a hold of yourselves!
If you follow that list, your feet will heal!
**[07:41] Wolf**
I'm sorry.
**[07:42] Dahlia**
Huh?
**[07:44] Wolf**
You must have suffered so much.
**[07:46] Dahlia**
What?
**[07:47] Wolf**
The five-toed socks,
the drying insoles, and this list...
**[07:53] Wolf**
I should have realized it sooner.
**[07:58] Dahlia**
No! It isn't like that!
**[08:01] Wolf**
Don't worry. No one here
will say a word about it.
**[08:04] Dahlia**
Um, Lord Wolfred...
**[08:08] Wolf**
I swear I'll never bring it up again.
**[08:10] Wolf**
I believe I understand what's going on here.
**[08:16] Dahlia**
You don't understand at all!
**[08:21] Grat**
Wolfred.
**[08:24] Wolf**
I deeply regret my actions!
**[08:25] Grat**
No matter how close you may be,
**[08:27] Grat**
what you said earlier
should never be said aloud!
**[08:30] Alfio**
Captain, pardon the presumption,
but we may have been in the wrong, as well.
**[08:34] Alfio**
I wonder if we weren't overzealous
with our questions.
**[08:38] Grat**
Yes, I agree.
**[08:40] Drino**
But it's good we asked, right?
**[08:43] Drino**
If we hadn't, we'd still be happily
passing foot fungus between us.
**[08:50] Grat**
This is an order from your captain.
**[08:52] Grat**
Never breathe a word on the matter
with the Rossetti chairman.
**[08:54] Grat**
Take it to your graves.
**[08:56] knights**
Sir!
**[08:57] Grat**
As for you, Wolfred...
**[08:59] Grat**
You are to sincerely reflect and repent.
**[09:02] Wolf**
Yes, sir.
**[09:03] Nikola**
If I were Chairman Rossetti,
I'd have been in tears.
**[09:07] Dino**
That was uncalled for,
no matter what the situation.
**[09:10] Alfio**
If that's how you tease her,
she's going to leave you.
**[09:13] Wolf**
Oh, we aren't friendly in that way.
**[09:16] Dino**
Then she might start avoiding you.
**[09:19] Wolf**
Huh?
**[09:20] Nikola**
When you offend someone,
the effects can be lasting.
**[09:22] Dino**
Yes, indeed.
**[09:23] Nikola**
We have our future relationship to consider.
**[09:28] Grat**
We don't want this to negatively affect
any future business dealings.
**[09:31] Grat**
Choose something at your discretion
and go apologize to her.
**[09:34] Wolf**
Er, do you have any recommendations?
**[09:37] Jesmond**
You know her better than we do, don't you?
**[09:40] Jesmond**
For starters, how about a bouquet made with
**[09:44] Jesmond**
some of Chairman Rossetti's favorite flowers?
**[09:46] Wolf**
I don't know her favorite flowers.
**[09:49] Jesmond**
Then some sweets that she likes.
**[09:50] Wolf**
I don't know that, either...
**[09:52] Drino**
You should've asked her at least that much.
**[09:55] Wolf**
You're right. I should have asked.
**[10:01] Alfio**
Go to a popular flower shop and ask them
for a bouquet made for a young woman.
**[10:06] Alfio**
Tell them to use lots of red.
**[10:08] Alfio**
Then go into town and buy choux à la
crème and some decorative sugar for tea.
**[10:12] Alfio**
Those won't outstay their welcome.
**[10:14] Alfio**
With that combo, you should be fine.
**[10:16] Nikola**
Impressive. You're certainly
used to dealing with ladies.
**[10:18] Alfio**
That's because I have
four daughters at home.
**[10:22] Grat**
Wolf, given most shops' hours,
you may leave early.
**[10:26] Wolf**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[10:32] Grat**
That Wolf...
**[10:34] Nikola**
I'm certain I've never seen him
make a face like that before.
**[10:37] Drino**
But the chairman of the Rossetti Company
**[10:39] Drino**
acted perfectly normal
sitting next to him, didn't she?
**[10:42] Grat**
Don't say such things.
**[10:44] Jesmond**
A person's first love is like a fever.
**[10:47] Jesmond**
The older you are, the harder it hits,
and the stronger its aftereffects.
**[10:50] Jesmond**
That's the saying.
**[10:51] Grat**
Stop it.
**[10:53] Grat**
Do not speak of this matter to anyone, either.
**[10:55] Grat**
In both cases, it would be boorish of us.
**[10:58] Knights**
Yes, sir.
**[11:13] Wolf**
I'm sorry! I deeply regret what I did!
**[11:18] Dahlia**
All right. I'll let it slide this once.
**[11:22] Wolf**
Thank you.
**[11:24] Dahlia**
But the next time you give people
the impression that I have foot fungus,
**[11:27] Dahlia**
I'll call you "Lord Wolfred"
even here at the tower.
**[11:30] Wolf**
I'll never do it again!
**[11:31] Wolf**
Also, here.
**[11:33] Wolf**
Choux à la crème. For you, if you'd like.
**[11:36] Dahlia**
Thank you.
**[11:41] Dahlia**
Since you've brought them,
would you like to have them with me?
**[11:49] Dahlia**
These are delicious!
**[11:50] Wolf**
I'm glad you like them.
Why don't you have another?
**[11:55] Dahlia**
I don't know if I should.
**[11:58] Wolf**
What kind of sweets and snacks do you like?
**[12:01] Dahlia**
Choux à la crème and cheesecake.
What about you?
**[12:05] Wolf**
Salted butter cookies, shrimp crackers...
oh, and things like zabaione.
**[12:11] Dahlia**
Those are all things you have with alcohol!
**[12:15] Wolf**
What are your favorite flowers?
**[12:17] Dahlia**
I like all flowers, but I particularly
like ones that smell nice,
**[12:22] Dahlia**
such as roses and gardenias.
**[12:26] Dahlia**
What's going on?
**[12:27] Dahlia**
Why are you asking about my
favorite sweets and flowers?
**[12:31] Wolf**
It's nothing. I was just thinking
that I don't know much about you.
**[12:40] Wolf**
Were you named after the dahlia flower?
**[12:43] Dahlia**
Yes, my father chose it. It's an old spelling.
**[12:48] Wolf**
Do you like dahlias?
**[12:50] Dahlia**
I've heard that...
**[12:52] Dahlia**
in another country,
**[12:55] Dahlia**
they call a single bloom "dahliya"
and multiple blooms "dahlia."
**[12:59] Dahlia**
But with my mother and
father gone, I'm all alone.
**[13:03] Dahlia**
The name hardly suits me, does it?
**[13:12] Dahlia**
It's a little unorthodox,
but would you like some of this?
**[13:15] Wolf**
That's white wine, isn't it?
**[13:18] Dahlia**
I've chilled it to the point that
it's nearly ice, so it's frozen wine.
**[13:21] Dahlia**
The aroma suffers a little, but...
**[13:24] Wolf**
I'll have some!
**[13:27] Wolf**
To this first wine and the prosperity
of the Rossetti Company!
**[13:31] Wolf**
Cheers!
**[13:32] Dahlia**
Cheers!
**[13:34] Dahlia**
Do you ever drink at the barracks?
**[13:37] Wolf**
We do. While we're talking about nonsense.
**[13:41] Wolf**
And when everyone's having fun,
it tends to turn into a disasradu.
**[13:46] Dahlia**
Disasradu?
**[13:47] Wolf**
Basically, people start confessing things.
**[13:50] Wolf**
One by one, people spill their secrets.
**[13:53] Wolf**
And no one present will speak a word
of it to anyone else. That's the rule.
**[13:57] Dahlia**
It seems like it would take courage
both to speak and to listen.
**[14:01] Wolf**
But sharing secrets that
you can't anywhere else
**[14:05] Wolf**
can heighten the sense of
camaraderie and solidarity.
**[14:10] Dahlia**
I see.
**[14:11] Wolf**
Want to try it?
**[14:12] Dahlia**
Huh?
**[14:13] Wolf**
Disasradu. Anything goes.
**[14:17] Dahlia**
I accept your challenge!
**[14:19] Wolf**
The person going first declares the disasradu.
**[14:22] Wolf**
The listener then places the palm of their
dominant hand on the table or floor.
**[14:28] Dahlia**
What is that for?
**[14:29] Wolf**
A sign that if you speak of it to outsiders,
they can cut that hand off.
**[14:33] Dahlia**
That's a terrifying rule.
**[14:38] Wolf**
You're first.
**[14:40] Wolf**
Go ahead.
**[14:42] Dahlia**
In that case, disasradu.
**[14:45] Dahlia**
My mother went to her parents'
home to give birth to me.
**[14:49] Dahlia**
She never returned to my father.
**[14:53] Dahlia**
After having me,
**[14:55] Dahlia**
she gave me to my father and
went on to marry someone else.
**[14:59] Dahlia**
So I've never known my mother.
**[15:04] Dahlia**
I suppose she loved her parents a great deal.
**[15:08] Wolf**
I'm sorry. I feel like I
forced you to tell me that.
**[15:12] Dahlia**
Not at all.
**[15:14] Dahlia**
I thought it would be better if you heard
it from me instead of someone else.
**[15:19] Dahlia**
I'm told my mother loved my father
enough to push him into marrying her.
**[15:24] Dahlia**
Perhaps giving birth to me
broke the spell of that love.
**[15:28] Dahlia**
But my father never once
spoke ill of her to me.
**[15:34] Dahlia**
When I was little, I saw him cry just once.
**[15:42] Dahlia**
He'd fallen asleep slumped over his workbench.
**[15:54] Dahlia**
There was a letter informing him
that my mother, about whom I knew
**[15:57] Dahlia**
nothing but her name, had died.
**[16:01] Dahlia**
She'd died of illness.
Her funeral had already been held.
**[16:05] Dahlia**
That and the location of her grave
were the only contents of the letter.
**[16:10] Dahlia**
I thought, "You can't be serious!"
I considered ripping it up.
**[16:16] Dahlia**
But...
**[16:22] Dahlia**
Then I wondered if my father had wanted
to keep me from seeing him cry.
**[16:27] Dahlia**
I wondered if he cried in secret sometimes.
**[16:32] Dahlia**
I wondered if maybe...
**[16:34] Dahlia**
maybe he was still in love with my mother.
**[16:41] Dahlia**
I have no memory of ever meeting her,
**[16:43] Dahlia**
but I'm told I have the exact
same color hair she did.
**[16:47] Dahlia**
The same color as my mother,
the woman who abandoned my father...
**[16:52] Wolf**
You're you, Dahlia.
**[16:54] Wolf**
Children don't follow their parents forever.
**[17:00] Dahlia**
That's true.
**[17:04] Wolf**
I don't know if it will match your story,
but I'll talk about my family, too.
**[17:09] Wolf**
With the exact sort of dirt
you'd expect from nobility.
**[17:15] Wolf**
My mother was a knight
who guarded a duke's wife,
**[17:19] Wolf**
but perhaps thanks to her
beauty and her ice magic,
**[17:22] Wolf**
she became my father's third wife.
**[17:25] Wolf**
And then they had me...
someone who can hardly use magic at all.
**[17:30] Wolf**
Apparently, my father took no interest in me.
**[17:33] Wolf**
I learned the sword from my mother,
**[17:35] Wolf**
joined the monster suppression
force, and here I am.
**[17:41] Wolf**
Now, disasradu!
**[17:44] Wolf**
When I was ten, we were attacked and
twenty people died, including my mother.
**[17:50] Wolf**
She and the other knights
protected my father's first wife,
**[17:53] Wolf**
my older brother, and me, so we survived.
**[17:57] Wolf**
After spending several days
undergoing treatment at the church,
**[18:01] Wolf**
I returned to our mansion
and everything was over.
**[18:04] Wolf**
All of the second wife's relatives had died.
**[18:07] Wolf**
And she herself had joined
a convent in mourning.
**[18:14] Wolf**
People are terrifying.
**[18:15] Wolf**
Losing my mother was painful.
**[18:17] Wolf**
Interacting with people made
it hard for me to survive.
**[18:20] Wolf**
That's how I came to feel.
**[18:22] Wolf**
But not long ago, I learned that my older
brother had suffered even more than me.
**[18:27] Wolf**
I'd never once considered
my brother's feelings.
**[18:32] Wolf**
I'm still such a child.
**[18:36] Wolf**
I'm glad I found out.
**[18:38] Wolf**
If I hadn't, I'd have gone on thinking I was the
only one who suffered and kept running away.
**[18:44] Dahlia**
Wolf...
**[18:47] Wolf**
I want a magic sword because I'm weak.
**[18:52] Wolf**
I can't use magic, so I believed a magic
sword would grant me strength.
**[18:56] Wolf**
No, that's just me posturing again.
**[19:00] Wolf**
I wanted the nightmares to stop.
**[19:03] Wolf**
My mother lying on the ground...
**[19:06] Wolf**
Me, unable to save her...
I never wanted to see that again.
**[19:10] Wolf**
But now, even more than that, I want to get
stronger so that I can best my mother.
**[19:15] Wolf**
That's why I want a magic sword.
**[19:17] Dahlia**
You want to best your mother?
**[19:20] Wolf**
My mother was a knight who used ice
magic. She was incredibly strong.
**[19:25] Dahlia**
You don't think you could
do it as you are now?
**[19:29] Wolf**
Even in my imagination,
I've never beaten her.
**[19:33] Dahlia**
In that case, we'll have to
develop an excellent sword!
**[19:37] Dahlia**
Let's do our best to make magic swords!
**[19:41] Wolf**
Thank you. I'm expecting
great things from you.
**[19:45] Wolf**
I'm thinking of visiting my mother's grave.
**[19:49] Wolf**
There's a favor I'd like to ask of her.
**[19:53] Dahlia**
I'm thinking of visiting
my father's grave, too.
**[19:57] Dahlia**
There are many things I need to tell him.
**[20:02] Wolf**
Like what?
**[20:04] Dahlia**
That's a secret.
**[20:08] Dahlia**
I have nightmares, too.
**[20:11] Wolf**
What about?
**[20:14] Dahlia**
Even though there are people nearby,
I don't ask any of them for help.
**[20:18] Dahlia**
I just slump over my desk and die.
That's my nightmare.
**[20:23] Wolf**
The next time you have that
nightmare, I'll come and save you!
**[20:27] Wolf**
With everything I have!
**[20:29] Dahlia**
How will you get into my dream?
**[20:33] Wolf**
That's... Well, if you make a
magic device for that, then—
**[20:38] Dahlia**
I've never even heard of such a magic device.
**[20:40] Wolf**
But you could make one! I'm certain of it!
**[20:43] Dahlia**
Please don't ask for the impossible!
**[20:51] Dahlia**
In my dream, the last thing I see is my desk.
**[20:57] Dahlia**
Face down against it, it's all I can see.
**[21:02] Dahlia**
Maybe that's why I've decided to live
without hanging my head anymore.
**[21:09] Wolf**
You said earlier that your
name didn't suit you because
**[21:14] Wolf**
a single flower is "dahliya"
and more than one is "dahlia."
**[21:20] Wolf**
You may be alone, but I believe
you have people around you.
**[21:24] Dahlia**
Wouldn't that mean I'm not alone?
**[21:27] Wolf**
What? Oh, you're right.
**[21:29] Wolf**
I'm trying to say that you're you.
No one can take your place.
**[21:34] Wolf**
There's only one of you,
but there are people with you...
**[21:37] Wolf**
I can't explain it very well.
**[21:41] Wolf**
Disasradu.
**[21:46] Wolf**
I think your name suits you
much better than you think.
**[21:53] Wolf**
Standing tall, not hanging her head,
blossoming up toward the sky...
**[21:57] Wolf**
That's who you are, Dahlia.
**[22:02] Dahlia**
Thank you, Wolf.

Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools
***SIGN*** Episode 12: Dahlia in Bloom
**[01:47] Wolf**
It feels like it's been ages
since I last came here.
**[01:51] Dahlia**
For me, too. We've both been so busy.
**[01:56] Dahlia**
How did your campaign go?
**[01:58] Wolf**
It was a flock of harpies.
**[02:00] Wolf**
They were after the sheep in a nearby village.
**[02:03] Wolf**
They took some children while
we were there hunting them.
**[02:05] Wolf**
I'm glad it all ended well.
**[02:07] Dahlia**
Were the children all right?
**[02:10] Wolf**
Yes. The injuries they sustained from
the harpies were all healed with magic.
**[02:16] Dahlia**
I'm glad both you and the children are safe.
**[02:19] Wolf**
This was a huge help.
**[02:22] Wolf**
When the abducted children
fell from the sky,
**[02:25] Wolf**
I couldn't have reached
them in time without it.
**[02:28] Dahlia**
Really?
**[02:31] Dahlia**
I'm so glad.
**[02:36] Dahlia**
Well, let's get to prototyping a magic sword.
**[02:39] Wolf**
All right.
**[02:40] Dahlia**
Last time, thanks to the black slime,
**[02:43] Dahlia**
we ended up with a short sword
we couldn't hold barehanded.
**[02:47] Dahlia**
This time, we'll try a yellow slime,
which uses earth magic.
**[02:51] Wolf**
Earth magic, huh?
**[02:53] Wolf**
But given enough time,
a yellow slime can melt metal.
**[02:58] Dahlia**
Yes, but unlike black slimes,
when rendered into powder,
**[03:02] Dahlia**
they lose their solvent property.
**[03:05] Dahlia**
The particles are very fine,
so please wear a mask.
**[03:08] Dahlia**
And gloves, too.
**[03:11] Wolf**
All right.
**[03:20] Dahlia**
Please stir this very slowly.
**[03:23] Wolf**
Got it.
**[03:25] Dahlia**
While you're doing that, I'll imbue the sword.
**[03:28] Dahlia**
So... I was thinking of using
the same magics as last time,
**[03:33] Dahlia**
but is there anything you'd like to change?
**[03:35] Wolf**
No, that's good. I'd like to be able
to compare it to the last one.
**[03:39] Dahlia**
Then I'll use the same magics.
**[03:49] Wolf**
It's all right. There's no resistance.
**[03:52] Wolf**
I can put it back together like this.
**[03:54] Wolf**
Oh, so close, yet so far.
**[03:56] Dahlia**
What's wrong?
**[03:58] Wolf**
The guard isn't emitting water,
and the sheath isn't lighter.
**[04:02] Wolf**
Probably because of the earth magic.
**[04:04] Wolf**
It's shut down everything
imbued into the sword.
**[04:08] Dahlia**
So this one's a flop.
**[04:10] Wolf**
I suppose we'll just have
to test different materials.
**[04:13] Dahlia**
Which means... maybe the unicorn horn?
**[04:17] Dahlia**
I'll try powdering a bit of it for next time.
**[04:21] Wolf**
Looking back on it, maybe our first attempt
**[04:23] Wolf**
with the Short Sword of a Demon King's
Subordinate went a little too well.
**[04:28] Wolf**
It was our first try, but we were
able to assemble and activate it.
**[04:32] Dahlia**
Yes, you're right.
**[04:37] Dahlia**
If we could just touch that
sword with our bare hands,
**[04:41] Dahlia**
that would mean the process we used
to make it wasn't wrong, wouldn't it?
**[04:45] Wolf**
Even if the process wasn't wrong, I still have
to say it's wrong from a safety perspective.
**[04:51] Dahlia**
Earth magic works on black slimes, right?
**[04:55] Dahlia**
So if we use this yellow slime solution
**[04:58] Dahlia**
on the Short Sword of a
Demon King's Subordinate...
**[05:01] Dahlia**
What do you think would happen?
**[05:04] Wolf**
Well...
**[05:06] Dahlia**
Let's try it!
**[05:18] Dahlia**
I'll start by placing some meat on it.
**[05:23] Dahlia**
It seems to be safe!
**[05:27] Wolf**
I'll do it!
**[05:29] Wolf**
I won't let you take this responsibility,
so just give up that idea.
**[05:38] Wolf**
This is...
**[05:39] Dahlia**
Are you all right?
**[05:41] Wolf**
Yes. No problems at all.
**[05:43] Wolf**
It emits water, and the sheath is lighter!
**[05:46] Wolf**
It's a success!
**[05:48] Dahlia**
If this method works,
**[05:50] Dahlia**
we should have no issue
applying it with a longer sword.
**[05:53] Wolf**
All right! That makes this
our magic sword, version 1!
**[06:05] Dahlia**
If my eyes aren't deceiving me...
that's moving, isn't it?
**[06:11] Wolf**
It's definitely moving. As if it's alive.
**[06:16] Dahlia**
No, it can't be alive... surely...
**[06:20] Wolf**
But it really looks that way.
It's like it's crawling around.
**[06:26] Dahlia**
It's just a conflict between
the types of magic.
**[06:28] Wolf**
I have an odd question.
**[06:30] Wolf**
Is it possible for magic
devices to gain something
**[06:33] Wolf**
like a living spirit of their own,
by some chance?
**[06:37] Dahlia**
I've never heard of that happening...
**[06:40] Dahlia**
but ghosts and spirits of the fallen can
reside in weapons and armor, right?
**[06:45] Wolf**
Yes, that's what people say.
**[06:47] Dahlia**
You don't think something has
come to dwell in this, do you?
**[06:51] Wolf**
I don't think so. We're here in the tower.
**[06:56] Wolf**
If anything inhabited this,
it would be your fam—
**[06:58] Wolf**
No, never mind!
**[07:00] Dahlia**
My father and ancestors would
never come to haunt anything!
**[07:13] Wolf**
What is that?
**[07:16] Dahlia**
The scale of a mirror snake.
**[07:19] Dahlia**
It's effective in deceiving the eye.
**[07:21] Wolf**
Really? I didn't know mirror
snakes were this beautiful.
**[07:26] Dahlia**
A client was kind enough to send it
to me specially because it's so unusual.
**[07:32] Dahlia**
It was the first time I'd seen one, too.
The shine was so beautiful
**[07:36] Dahlia**
that I thought it was from a rainbow serpent.
**[07:38] Wolf**
A rainbow serpent?
**[07:39] Dahlia**
Yes, it's a very rare monster,
**[07:42] Dahlia**
and people say a lantern imbued with one
of its scales allows you to see the future.
**[07:48] Dahlia**
It might just be a coincidence, though.
**[07:51] Wolf**
I see. But a mirror snake scale is
impressive enough in itself, isn't it?
**[07:57] Wolf**
If it can deceive the eye, it might
be useful in escaping monsters.
**[08:02] Dahlia**
In that case, shall we try
imbuing something with it?
**[08:05] Wolf**
But it's a rare material, isn't it?
**[08:08] Dahlia**
It so happens that I've been
wanting to test it out.
**[08:15] Dahlia**
Huh?
**[08:20] Wolf**
Dahlia!
**[08:34] Wolf**
Lady Chair of the Rossetti Company...
**[08:37] Wolf**
May I have the honor of escorting you?
**[08:40] Dahlia**
Huh?
**[08:41] Dahlia**
Y-Yes!
**[08:44] Dahlia**
Thank you for the kind offer.
**[08:49] Dahlia**
I'm sorry. My shoes have narrow heels,
so it will probably hurt if I step on you.
**[08:55] Wolf**
Please, go right ahead.
**[08:57] Wolf**
After all, I'm certain
you're as light as a feather.
**[09:24] Wolf**
Are you all right?
**[09:26] Dahlia**
Yes... Was that...
**[09:30] Wolf**
An illusion?
**[09:32] Wolf**
Ysou don't think it was...
**[09:35] Dahlia**
Oh, um... I'm not sure.
**[09:39] Dahlia**
If that was from a rainbow serpent
and not a mirror snake,
**[09:42] Dahlia**
then was that... a glimpse of the future?
**[09:46] Wolf**
Dahlia?
**[09:47] Dahlia**
Y-Yes?
**[09:49] Wolf**
Do you want to dance?
**[09:51] Dahlia**
N-No. Not in the least.
**[09:55] Wolf**
Then it must have been just a hallucination.
**[09:58] Dahlia**
That's right! Definitely just a hallucination.
**[10:02] Wolf**
Does that mean you saw the same thing I did?
**[10:05] Dahlia**
I think I might have.
**[10:07] Wolf**
I see. If, by chance, that was the future...
**[10:12] Dahlia**
If it was?
**[10:14] Wolf**
Then I'll need to practice my dancing.
**[10:25] Wolf**
Well, goodbye.
**[10:28] Dahlia**
Goodnight.
**[10:30] Dahlia**
Sweet dreams.
**[10:32] Wolf**
Sweet dreams.
**[10:43] Wolf**
If that was the future...
**[10:47] Wolf**
Just forget it!
**[10:52] Ivano**
That's everything.
**[10:54] Ivano**
Do you have any questions?
**[10:56] Gabriella**
I don't see any issues.
**[10:58] Dahlia**
I'm fine.
**[11:02] Gabriella**
Dahlia, how have things been
with Lord Wolfred since then?
**[11:07] Dahlia**
Pardon?
**[11:09] Dahlia**
Nothing in particular has changed.
**[11:12] Gabriella**
Once the production of the five-toed
socks finds its proper course,
**[11:17] Gabriella**
you may begin to receive
various offers of marriage.
**[11:21] Dahlia**
While I appreciate the thought,
**[11:22] Dahlia**
I'm not considering romance
or marriage right now.
**[11:25] Gabriella**
So if we do receive any such offers,
**[11:28] Gabriella**
you're comfortable declining all of them?
**[11:30] Dahlia**
Yes. Please do that.
**[11:35] Ivano**
Madam Gabriella,
this is just a bit of small talk.
**[11:40] Ivano**
If the son of an earl went to live in town,
**[11:43] Ivano**
would it even be possible for him
to marry into a merchant's family?
**[11:47] Gabriella**
That would be difficult
for the son of an earl.
**[11:50] Gabriella**
Especially if his family was due to become
the family of a marquis in the near future.
**[11:55] Gabriella**
It would attract trouble in droves.
**[11:58] Gabriella**
Jealousy and harassment...
**[12:00] Gabriella**
And it would all be directed at the woman.
**[12:03] Ivano**
What if the merchant were to grow her company
**[12:06] Ivano**
and become an official supplier to the palace,
**[12:09] Ivano**
or she gained a high-ranked noble as
a guardian and became a baroness?
**[12:13] Ivano**
Would he be able to marry her then?
**[12:16] Gabriella**
In that case, I suppose it would be possible.
**[12:20] Ivano**
Then I'll consider that the minimum
goal in my plan for the company.
**[12:27] Gabriella**
How ambitious of you.
**[12:29] Gabriella**
It will be a rather thorny path.
**[12:32] Ivano**
Knowing our chairwoman, she'll invent a
magic device to cut through those thorns.
**[12:43] Dahlia**
Sorry. Did I keep you waiting?
**[12:45] Lucia**
No, not at all!
**[12:47] Irma**
Dahlia, you've gotten so pretty!
You look great.
**[12:52] Dahlia**
Thank you. And that dress
suits you very well, Irma.
**[12:58] Irma**
You think so? Marcella bought it for me.
**[13:03] Irma**
Come on, Marcella. Say something.
**[13:08] Marcella**
Dahlia, you've really blossomed.
**[13:13] Marcella**
You're so beautiful.
**[13:14] Dahlia**
Hey, Irma, Marcella is really forcing
himself. Please stop him.
**[13:20] Irma**
Marcella, I won't get jealous, so you just
keep showering Dahlia with compliments!
**[13:25] Lucia**
Mister Marcella, while you're at it,
I'd like some compliments, too, please!
**[13:31] Marcella**
Sure thing! You look lovely, too, Lucia!
**[13:34] Marcella**
I'm a lucky guy, getting to drink
with so many beauties tonight!
**[13:39] Lucia**
Where does this go?
**[13:40] Dahlia**
Oh, on the desk, please.
**[13:43] Marcella**
All right. Let's get started.
**[13:52] Dahlia**
Irma, Lucia, Mister Marcella...
**[13:56] Dahlia**
From being there for me when my betrothal
was broken to becoming my guarantors,
**[13:59] Dahlia**
and even selling our new socks...
Thank you so much for everything.
**[14:04] Irma**
Oh, stop that. I haven't done anything.
**[14:07] Marcella**
And as for being a guarantor, well,
that's something I'd have asked for myself.
**[14:12] Lucia**
That's right.
**[14:14] Lucia**
And thanks to you, I'll be able to save
up funds for the workshop quickly.
**[14:19] Dahlia**
I couldn't have done anything on my own.
**[14:22] Dahlia**
So today, eat and drink
to your hearts' content.
**[14:26] Irma**
All right.
**[14:28] Marcella**
I'll enjoy the feast without reservation!
**[14:30] Lucia**
I didn't eat lunch today
so I'd be ready for this!
**[14:33] Marcella**
To the founding of the Rossetti Company,
**[14:35] Marcella**
to Irma's beauty salon,
and to the prosperity of Lucia's workshop...
**[14:39] Marcella**
With hope that we all find
good fortune tomorrow!
**[14:42] Marcella**
Cheers!
**[14:43] Dahlia; Irma; Lucia**
Cheers!
**[15:19] (Flashback) young Dahlia**
Dad! Dad!
**[15:22] (Flashback) Dahlia; while engaged**
You stayed up late again, didn't you?
**[15:25] (Flashback) Carlo**
An idea struck me.
**[15:27] (Flashback) Carlo**
I think of things, then create them.
Think. Create. Over and over again.
**[15:31] (Flashback) Carlo**
I've never been able to see an end to it.
**[15:34] (Flashback) Carlo**
But Dahlia...
**[15:37] (Flashback) Carlo**
I know you'll be able to do it.
**[15:40] (Flashback) young Dahlia**
Dad!
**[15:42] Dahlia**
What magic device should we make next?
**[16:05] Wolf**
Is the color of your bouquet all right?
**[16:10] Dahlia**
Yes, thank you.
**[16:13] Wolf**
I'm glad the weather is nice today.
**[16:16] Dahlia**
Yeah. It's been raining a lot lately.
**[16:24] Dahlia**
Wolf, a friend of mine said the other day...
**[16:39] Dahlia**
Well, this is where we part ways.
Our grave is over there.
**[16:44] Wolf**
All right. Then let's meet back here later.
**[17:02] Wolf**
Mother, it's been quite some time.
**[17:06] Wolf**
The other day, I spoke with
my older brother, Guido.
**[17:10] Wolf**
I also learned that Father
has been coming here.
**[17:14] Wolf**
I've been such a child.
**[17:17] Wolf**
If I had been able to speak with you,
I'm certain you would have scolded me.
**[17:28] Wolf**
I've made a friend that I want to protect.
**[17:31] Wolf**
She rescued me from my aimless wandering.
**[17:36] Wolf**
She's made magic devices to protect me.
**[17:40] Wolf**
And one day, we might create
an incredible magic sword.
**[17:45] Wolf**
Right now, all I ever do is cause her trouble,
**[17:48] Wolf**
but I hope that one day,
I'll be able to protect her.
**[17:53] Wolf**
To do that, I'll have to be
able to beat you, Mother.
**[18:06] Dahlia**
Dad, things are over between me and Tobias.
**[18:11] Dahlia**
But if you saw how it came to this,
I know you wouldn't be angry with me.
**[18:18] Dahlia**
I've founded the Rossetti Company.
**[18:20] Dahlia**
Mister Ivano has joined the company,
and he's helping me so much.
**[18:25] Dahlia**
Also, I've even visited the palace.
**[18:28] Dahlia**
My first products ended up being
five-toed socks and drying insoles,
**[18:33] Dahlia**
but people are pleased with them.
**[18:37] Dahlia**
I'd made them for you.
It's a strange feeling.
**[18:42] Dahlia**
I didn't know you'd made it a hobby
to have people owe you favors.
**[18:48] Dahlia**
The head of the Trade Guild,
Gabriella, Mister Oswald...
**[18:52] Dahlia**
There may yet be others I don't know about.
**[18:56] Dahlia**
You were always so slipshod
and casual about everything.
**[18:59] Dahlia**
Playing gallant out of my sight wasn't fair.
**[19:03] Dahlia**
But... thank you, Dad.
**[19:12] Wolf**
You asked me something when I was little.
**[19:16] Wolf**
You asked what kind of
knight I wanted to be.
**[19:19] Wolf**
I'd always thought you were asking about
strength or speed. My style in battle.
**[19:30] Wolf**
My answer is late,
but the kind of knight I want to be...
**[19:36] Wolf**
is one who can protect that
which he desires to protect.
**[19:41] Wolf**
That may be the wrong answer
as a knight, but it is my wish.
**[19:51] Wolf**
This is your sword, Mother.
**[19:53] Wolf**
They say that when someone
dies protecting someone else,
**[19:57] Wolf**
they continue to protect
their beloved beyond death.
**[20:01] Wolf**
I am choosing to believe that.
**[20:05] Wolf**
I can fight on my own.
**[20:08] Wolf**
If possible, I'd ask that you grant your
protection not to me, but to my friend, Dahlia.
**[20:16] Dahlia**
I'm glad you were looking out for me,
**[20:19] Dahlia**
but I don't think I can keep going this way.
**[20:22] Dahlia**
If I do, I'll always be the daughter you
worried for and not a full-fledged artisan.
**[20:33] Dahlia**
I lack magical power and technical skills,
**[20:36] Dahlia**
and I don't know how many
decades it will take,
**[20:40] Dahlia**
but even so... I want to become a
magical artificer who surpasses you.
**[20:47] Dahlia**
I've made dear friends who support me.
**[20:52] Dahlia**
I'm not alone anymore,
so I know I'll be all right.
**[21:11] Dahlia**
One day, I'll be an even more
amazing magic artificer than you were.
**[21:16] Dahlia**
You can look forward to it!
**[21:27] Wolf**
What are you doing next?
**[21:28] Dahlia**
I'm going to the Trade Guild.
**[21:30] Wolf**
About the magic sword from the other day?
**[21:32] Dahlia**
I can't take something that could be
mistaken for a monster to the Guild.
**[21:37] Wolf**
You're right. If it started moving on its own,
**[21:41] Wolf**
people might start calling it
the Crawling Magic Sword.
**[21:43] Dahlia**
It's unlikely, but if it did attack someone,
it'd be no laughing matter.
**[21:47] Wolf**
If that happened, they'd likely brand one
of us the Demon Lord for birthing a monster.
**[21:53] Dahlia**
I'll let you have that distinction, Wolf.
**[21:55] Wolf**
Then you would be the
witch at my side, Dahlia.
**[22:03] Dahlia**
Oh! The carriage is already here.
**[22:06] Wolf**
Let's hurry!
**[22:06] Dahlia**
Yes.
