[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!

[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!
[21:21] Dahlia; internal
    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
    fun I can't get enough of it."
[21:52] Dahlia; internal
    "This is why I can't stop
    being a magic artificer."
[21:57] Dahlia; internal
    I knew I'd come to feel that way one day.
[21:59] Dahlia; internal
    And today was that day.
