**[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...

***SIGN*** Episode 8: The Rossetti Company
**[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.
