[00:07] Guido
    Father was called to the royal
    palace first thing this morning.
[00:10] Guido
    He was most disappointed that he
    wouldn't get to see you, Wolfred.
[00:13] Guido
    I'm sorry, but would you mind
    talking to me in his stead?
[00:18] Wolf
    No, I don't mind. I asked to talk because
[00:21] Wolf
    the Rossetti Company, for which
    I've recently become a guarantor,
[00:24] Wolf
    will soon be doing business with the
    knights' monster suppression force.
[00:29] Wolf
    I wanted to let him know.

[02:02] Guido
    I see.
[02:04] Guido
    You've clearly fostered
    some very good relationships.
[02:06] Wolf
    Yes. I'm very grateful for them.
[02:10] Guido
    Father asked me to tell you that this villa
    and its staff are yours to do with as you wish.
[02:16] Guido
    He doesn't mind if you use them
    to help the Rossetti Company.
[02:20] Guido
    Also, if you ever need water or ice
    magic stones, I can accommodate you.
[02:26] Guido
    Should you have difficulty with anything
     else, don't hesitate to tell me.
[02:30] Guido
    I'll do everything I can for you.
[02:32] Wolf
    Thank you. That's a tremendous help.
[02:36] Guido
    Changing the subject, Wolfred,
    are you considering marriage at all?
[02:43] Wolf
    Not at the moment. I'm fine as I am.
[02:46] Guido
    Are you still keeping
    company with Lady Gastoni?
[02:49] Wolf
    Yes, she's kind enough
    to treat me very well.
[02:54] Guido
    I see.
[02:57] Guido
    Wolfred, I heard that this is the first
    time you've ever contacted our father.
[03:04] Wolf
    Is it? I haven't been inconvenienced
    in any way before now,
[03:09] Wolf
    so I suppose I've had no need.
[03:13] Wolf; internal
    I hardly have any memories
    of even speaking with him.
[03:16] Wolf; internal
    What am I supposed to want from him?
[03:18] Wolf; internal
    He's allowing me to live without worry
    for food, shelter, or clothing.
[03:22] Wolf; internal
    He also permitted me to join the monster
    suppression force. That's enough for me.
[03:28] Guido
    Are you thinking of leaving the
    Scalfaratto family in the future?
[03:34] Guido
    I thought this might be part of such a plan.
[03:37] Wolf
    I...
[03:38] Wolf
    I would like to be independent someday,
[03:41] Wolf
    but the company is a
    completely unrelated matter.
[03:44] Guido
    Is it? In that case, is there
    anything you need or want?
[03:50] Wolf
    Not at the moment.
[03:52] Guido
    Have you given any thought to employment
    outside the monster suppression force?
[03:57] Wolf
    I can't say I have.
[03:59] Guido
    Then you don't plan to
    renounce the Scarlet Armor?
[04:03] Wolf
    No, not at present.
[04:06] Wolf; internal
    We don't have the sort of relationship
    where we talk like this,
[04:09] Wolf; internal
    so why is he forcing himself to
    act like an older brother now?
[04:16] Wolf
    Is something wrong, brother?
[04:21] Guido
    I'm sorry.
[04:23] Guido
    I know that you've avoided me.
[04:26] Guido
    I've used the lack of opportunities to talk
    as an excuse to run from you until now.
[04:31] Wolf; internal
    So that's what it is.
[04:33] Wolf; internal
    All of his unexplained behavior
    springs from a sense of guilt.
[04:37] Wolf; internal
    Most likely over that day...
[04:40] (Flashback) Man
    Don't let them get away!
[04:41] (Flashback) Woman
    Who put you up to this?!
[04:47] (Flashback) Guido's mom
    Guido!
[04:53] (Flashback) bandit
    Don't let your guard down!
[04:55] (Flashback) bandit 2
    They're tough!
[04:56] (Flashback) bandit 3
    Surround them! Surround them!
[04:58] (Flashback) Wolf; young
    Mother...
[05:29] Guido
    I've regretted it all this time.
[05:37] Guido
    If you and Dame Vanessa
    hadn't protected us that day,
[05:42] Guido
    both my mother and I would have died.
[05:44] Guido
    The fact that I couldn't save Dame Vanessa...
[05:47] Guido
    that I stole your mother from you...
[05:49] Guido
    I know apologizing now
    won't make any difference,
[05:52] Guido
    but please know how sorry I am.
[05:55] Wolf
    Please raise your head.
     You've done nothing to apologize for.
[05:59] Guido
    If I had fought, then maybe
    Dame Vanessa wouldn't have died.
[06:04] Guido
    No, as a man, as your older brother...
[06:07] Guido
    I should have died to protect
    you and Dame Vanessa!
[06:11] Wolf
    Please take that back, brother.
[06:15] Wolf
    That day, my mother fought
    because she chose to.
[06:19] Guido
    But I can use magic. If I'd gone out first...
[06:23] Wolf
    She fought to protect you.
    Saying that you should have died instead
[06:27] Wolf
    is no way to repay the knight
    Dame Vanessa Scalfaratto.
[06:30] Wolf
    So please take those words back.
[06:35] Guido
    I'm sorry. I take it back.
[06:39] Wolf
    Thank you. I apologize for
    speaking with such disrespect.
[06:55] Guido
    I thought that you resented me and
    that avoiding me was only natural.
[07:01] Wolf
    I don't resent you, nor have I avoided you.
[07:04] Wolf
    We simply haven't had the
    opportunity to meet. That's all.
[07:06] Guido
    I'm sorry. I should have spoken
    with you like this sooner.
[07:11] Wolf
    It's all right.
[07:12] Guido
    That day, when you fought,
    I was frozen with fear.
[07:24] (Flashback) Guido's mom
    Guido, you mustn't go out there!
[07:25] Guido
    My mother clung to me to protect me,
     and I couldn't throw her off.
[07:41] Guido
    When I stepped out of the carriage,
     everything was red...
[07:52] Guido
    To this day, I see Dame Vanessa
    and the fallen knights in my dreams.
[08:02] Wolf; internal
    I don't know how many times
    I've had that nightmare.
[08:06] Wolf; internal
    Is my brother the same way?
[08:11] Guido
    I am truly sorry that I'm such
    a contemptible older brother.
[08:15] Wolf
    Not at all. I've had similar dreams.
[08:20] Wolf
    It'd be nice if there were a way to
    be spared the dreams we don't want.
[08:24] Guido
    In that case, I recommend marriage.
[08:27] Guido
    It may not rid you of them completely,
    but I think you'll have less of them.
[08:30] Wolf
    I feel that would be difficult to implement,
    but I'll keep it in mind.
[08:37] Guido
    I haven't been able to do anything
    for you as your older brother.
[08:40] Guido
    Please allow me to make it up to you.
[08:43] Guido
    Whether it concerns business or the palace,
     please come to me for anything.
[08:47] Wolf
    Thank you.
[08:50] Wolf
    I don't know anything about business relations,
     so I'd appreciate your advice on that.
[08:57] Wolf
    And if you're willing to indulge me,
[09:00] Wolf
    I'd like to ask for materials used
    to imbue items with magic.
[09:04] Guido
    Of course. I'll procure whatever I can.
[09:07] Guido
    What are you looking for?
[09:09] Wolf
    Fairy crystal.
[09:11] Guido
    All right. If I find any, I'll send it to you.
[09:14] Wolf
    Thank you.
[09:17] Guido
    In the meantime, I think you
    should try speaking with our father.
[09:21] Wolf
    If the opportunity presents itself...
[09:23] Guido
    I feel bad because I only
    go a few times a year,
[09:27] Guido
    but I believe he visits
    Dame Vanessa's grave monthly.
[09:33] Wolf
    I see.
[09:36] Wolf; internal
    Perhaps my father loved
    my mother more than I knew.
[09:45] Guido
    I will pray that your dreams
    of that day go away, Wolfred.
[09:50] Wolf; internal
    I hadn't even realized it.
[09:54] Wolf; internal
    The nightmares that haunted
    me for so many years...
[09:56] Wolf; internal
    Since the day I met her,
    I haven't had it even once.
[10:10] Gabriella
    Are you ready?
[10:11] Dahlia
    Yes.
[10:16] Fermo
    I'm here from the Gandolfi
    workshop. My name is Fermo.
[10:19] Fermo
    Pleasure doing business with you.
[10:23] Dahlia
    The item I wanted to consult with
    you about is this foam pump bottle.
[10:31] Fermo
    That's...
[10:33] Fermo
    Does it hold a special kind of foam inside?
[10:36] Dahlia
    No, it's regular soap and water.
[10:38] Fermo
    Washing your face or hands,
    in barber shops, children's toys...
[10:42] Fermo
    It seems like this would
     have a number of uses.
[10:44] Dahlia
    The people who've tested it for me said
     it's been useful for shaving facial hair.
[10:49] Fermo
    I see! I'd like to try that once myself.
[10:53] Gabriella
    Ivano.
[10:54] Ivano
    Right.
[10:55] Ivano
    Mister Fermo, this way, please.
[10:59] Fermo
    Huh? For what?
[11:01] Gabriella
    Since you have the opportunity,
    why not tidy yourself up?
[11:08] Fermo
    This is great! If these pump bottles
     become widespread,
[11:12] Fermo
    maybe we'll see less razor burn
     and stray whiskers around.
[11:16] Dahlia
    I'm glad you like it.
[11:19] Fermo
    Is the mechanism for creating
    the foam in the pump section?
[11:23] Dahlia
    Yes. These documents contain
    the specifications.
[11:27] Dahlia
    The parts come off the top.
[11:32] Fermo
    May I have a look?
[11:34] Dahlia
    Of course.
[11:38] Fermo
    I see.
[11:40] Fermo
    We can make this.
[11:42] Gabriella
    If possible, we'd like to rush
    production in the first month.
[11:45] Gabriella
    We'll need over fifteen
     hundred units monthly.
[11:48] Gabriella
    For every hundred, you'll receive two
    gold coins and three large silvers.
[11:52] Gabriella
    What do you say?
[11:53] Fermo
    All right. We'll take the job.
[11:57] Fermo
    But...
[11:58] Fermo
    If we're making these for shaving,
    this top is too small for a man's hands.
[12:04] Fermo
    A larger one would be easier for children
    and the elderly to use, as well.
[12:13] Fermo
    If they'll be in places where
     lots of people will use them,
[12:16] Fermo
    it'd be better to have the center
    of mass in the base for stability.
[12:19] Fermo
    Folks will also be happier if it holds more.
[12:22] Fermo
    It might also be good to affix it
    to a pedestal to deter theft.
[12:26] Dahlia
    I hadn't thought that far.
[12:30] Fermo
    Is this unrelated to the codevelopment
    project you mentioned in your letter?
[12:34] Dahlia
    No. I'd like you to work with
    me to improve this bottle.
[12:39] Dahlia
    If the improved version goes to market,
[12:41] Dahlia
    I'll rewrite the profit contract
     under both of our names.
[12:47] Fermo
    Why?
[12:48] Dahlia
    Huh?
[12:49] Fermo
    If you want to make improvements,
    you can just tell me to fix certain parts.
[12:56] Fermo
    There's no point in listing
    both our names, is there?
[12:59] Fermo
    Vice Chair.
[13:00] Fermo
    Is this your way of showing
    pity on our workshop?
[13:04] Gabriella
    It's exactly as my letter stated.
[13:06] Garbiella
    "A promising, talented magic artificer
    is seeking an artisan to codevelop with."
[13:13] Fermo
    A codeveloper would be on board
    from the very beginning of the project!
[13:19] Fermo
    This product's already complete!
[13:21] Dahlia
    But the Gandolfi workshop can make
    further improvements to it, right?
[13:26] Fermo
    We can.
[13:27] Dahlia
    And that's why.
[13:33] Fermo
    So we each contribute ideas
     and start by making what we can?
[13:37] Fermo
    If something good comes of it,
    would we make that our next product?
[13:41] Dahlia
    I'd be grateful if we did.
[13:43] Dahlia
    I'll pay for the materials and
    labor required for prototyping.
[13:47] Fermo
    I don't need either of those.
[13:50] Fermo
    There's no need to list me as a codeveloper!
[13:54] Fermo
    Instead, I'd rather you commission any
    new items you make from our workshop.
[13:59] Dahlia
    That won't do!
[14:00] Dahlia
    If we're going to collaborate
    and create something together,
[14:03] Dahlia
    then please name yourself a codeveloper!
[14:06] Fermo
    All of the renown and profits
    should go to the original inventor!
[14:13] Dahlia
    You're right.
[14:16] Fermo
    You understand now?
[14:18] Dahlia
    I'm new to this, so I didn't realize.
    Please register it as a new item in your name.
[14:24] Fermo
    Why would I do that?!
[14:26] Dahlia
    I apologize for asking you to place
    the name of a novice like me
[14:31] Dahlia
    next to yours on a contract.
[14:34] Fermo
    You've got it wrong!
[14:35] Fermo
    I didn't make the original, so I don't want
    to make any money via the profit contract!
[14:40] Fermo
    I admit that the workshop is
    running a little sideways,
[14:43] Fermo
    but I'm not accepting charity from anyone!
[14:46] Dahlia
    That wasn't my intention!
[14:55] Fermo
    When I took that bottle apart, you
    instantly came up with several ideas.
[15:01] Dahlia
    You considered the product's users
     and what would make them happy.
[15:07] Dahlia
    And when you looked at the bottle, that gleam
     in your eyes was that of my ideal artisan.
[15:14] Dahlia
    So please.
[15:15] Fermo
    You're saying you want to develop with me
    because you see me as an experienced artisan?
[15:21] Dahlia
    Yes.
[15:29] Fermo
    All right.
[15:31] Fermo
    You can put my name on the profit
    contract as a codeveloper!
[15:36] Fermo
    I'll be in your debt to start,
    but remember this!
[15:40] Fermo
    One day, I'll come up with something
    that'll really bring in the money!
[15:48] Dahlia
    Of course!
[15:49] Dahlia
    I'm looking forward to it!
[16:02] Dahlia
    I did it!
[16:10] Dahlia
    And finally, I'll increase its durability.
[16:19] Dahlia
    In that case, I'll make it lighter.
[16:26] Dahlia; internal
    Maybe unicorn horn has some quality
    that cuts through magical energy.
[16:32] Dahlia
    Come to think of it...
[16:43] Dahlia
    All right.
[16:50] Wolf
    Sorry to drop by without notice.
    Are you sure you aren't too busy?
[16:54] Dahlia
    Yes. My company meeting schedule
    has settled down for the time being.
[16:59] Wolf
    You've been working hard.
[17:01] Wolf
    Oh, right. Here.
[17:03] Wolf
    I brought my mother's book and her notes.
[17:05] Wolf
    She wrote about etiquette in conversations
    with nobles. I think it'll be useful.
[17:09] Dahlia
    Thank you. Please come inside.
[17:17] Wolf
    Oh? Dahlia, did you hurt your leg?
[17:21] Dahlia
    Huh?
[17:25] Wolf
    Who did this to you?!
[17:27] Dahlia
    No, this was...
[17:29] Wolf
    Let me see.
[17:31] Wolf
    You have a bruise on your right cheek
    and medicine patches on your neck...
[17:34] Wolf
    Your shoulder, too?
[17:36] Dahlia
    The result of my own carelessness. That's all.
[17:39] Wolf
    Only your right side is injured, isn't it?
[17:41] Wolf
    That wouldn't happen by simply falling.
[17:44] Wolf
    Dahlia, tell me the truth!
[17:46] Dahlia
    Really, no one else was involved!
[17:50] Dahlia
    I was trying to imbue using sköll,
    and I got blown back! That's all!
[17:58] Wolf
    I see.
[18:00] Wolf
    I'd love to hear every single detail.
[18:03] Dahlia
    Of course.
[18:06] Wolf
    What's this?
[18:07] Dahlia
    It's a bracelet I imbued with a sköll fang.
[18:11] Dahlia
    Their fangs have an effect on wind magic,
[18:14] Dahlia
    but when used as a material in imbuing,
[18:16] Dahlia
    they demand a tremendous
    amount of magical energy.
[18:19] Wolf
    Is it similar to when you
    made my glasses for me?
[18:24] Dahlia
    No, it's not like that.
[18:27] Dahlia
    I secretly tried this before, and it drained
    my magic so badly I nearly fainted.
[18:31] Dahlia
    I ended up vomiting.
[18:32] Wolf
    Yet you dared such recklessness again?
[18:35] Dahlia
    Well, that was four years ago,
    and it wasn't anything so serious.
[18:41] Dahlia
    Besides, I'm certain my skills and my
    magical reserves have improved since then.
[18:47] Dahlia
    And just in case I didn't succeed,
[18:49] Dahlia
    I made this second attempt in my bedroom.
[18:55] Dahlia
    As I began imbuing the bracelet, it felt
     easier and easier to put magic into it.
[19:00] Dahlia
    Then the feeling changed, as though all
    of my magic was being sucked away.
[19:08] Dahlia
    It took a lot of my magic,
    but the imbuing itself was a success.
[19:13] Wolf
    Then how did you get injured?
[19:17] Dahlia
    After I succeeded,
     I suppose I let down my guard.
[19:20] Dahlia
    When I put the bracelet on, I sent
    the tiniest amount of magic into it.
[19:35] Dahlia
    And that's how I ended up as you see me now.
[19:40] Wolf
    Dahlia, you have two choices.
[19:43] Wolf
    Either you drink a potion, or I take you
     to a church right this moment.
[19:47] Dahlia
    It isn't anything so dire!
[19:50] Dahlia
    Besides, before I made the sköll bracelet...
[19:54] Dahlia
    I made this.
[19:56] Dahlia
    Thanks to the unicorn's ability to reduce
    pain, it doesn't hurt all that much.
[20:01] Wolf
    I see. In that case, are you up to going
    somewhere with me right now?
[20:06] Dahlia
    Um, I'm getting the feeling that
    you doubt me for some reason...
[20:18] Dahlia
    All right! I'll drink a potion!
[20:22] Dahlia
    When I think about how many bottles of my
    usual wine I could buy for what this cost...
[20:26] Dahlia
    What a waste.
[20:28] Wolf
    All right. Then next time,
    I'll bring you potions.
[20:31] Dahlia
    Please don't!
[20:36] Dahlia
    Um... I'm sorry I made you worry about me.
[20:41] Wolf
    No, I'm the one who should apologize.
[20:44] Wolf
    I'm sorry for touching you
    without permission earlier.
[20:47] Dahlia
    Please don't let it trouble you.
     I knew it was out of concern for me.
[20:53] Dahlia
    I thought that even if I failed, the worst
    that would happen was that I'd faint.
[20:58] Dahlia
    And since I live alone now,
[21:01] Dahlia
    I thought that, even then,
    I wouldn't worry anyone.
[21:05] Wolf
    The fact that you think like that
    makes me worry even more.
[21:09] Dahlia
    But I'll be more careful from now on!
[21:12] Dahlia
    After all, an accident like
    that may happen again,
[21:16] Dahlia
    and if I do faint, I have a feeling
    you'd be very worried for me.
[21:22] Wolf
    Yes, I'd be grateful if you'd do that.
[21:29] Dahlia
    Then I'll go put this away.
[21:32] Wolf
    What are you going to do with it?
    It isn't something you'd use, is it?
[21:37] Dahlia
    That's right. It's dangerous,
    so I thought I'd seal it up.
[21:41] Wolf
    It's such a beautiful color. What a shame.
[21:44] Dahlia
    Yes, but accidentally putting magic
    into it sends you flying, so...
[21:49] Wolf
    Then couldn't someone like me,
    with no usable magical energy,
[21:52] Wolf
    touch it without issue?
[21:55] Dahlia
    Yes, but...
[21:56] Wolf
    Dahlia, would you mind...
[22:00] Wolf
    if I tried this bracelet out for a while?
