[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.
