[00:00] Wolf
    I haven't introduced myself yet.
[00:03] Wolf
    I am a member of the knights' monster
    suppression force. My name is Wolfred.
[00:07] Wolf
    I'm the youngest child of a
    low-ranking noble, so please...
[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.

[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?
