**[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**
