[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...

[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.
