**[00:11] Crowd**
Lenny-chan, happy birthday!
**[00:17] Lenny**
Thank you so much everyone! Thank you!
**[00:20] Mile**
Here, this is for you.
**[00:23] Mile**
It's a birthday present
from us, the Crimson Vow.
**[00:27] Lenny**
Thank you! This makes me so happy!
**[00:30] Lenny**
I wonder what it could be.
I wonder what it could be!
**[00:36] Mile**
I tried to express your cuteness
just as it is, Lenny-chan.
**[00:40] Mavis**
Only you could do this, Mile. Your carving
skills are as amazing as ever.
**[00:44] Mavis**
But...
**[00:46] Pauline**
This one area seems to have
been slightly exaggerated.
**[00:49] Mile**
That's...!
**[00:50] Mile**
It's not like I'm envious or jealous,
**[00:52] Mile**
or wishing I was that type, too...
**[00:55] Mile**
I'm not thinking any of that at all!
**[01:04] Person A**
Lenny-chan, it seems like you've gotten used
to your role as the face of this inn.
**[01:09] Person B**
Us old guys'll keep being your fans,
so keep up the good work, okay?
**[01:13] Lenny**
Thank you!
**[01:15] Reina**
That Lenny... She looks like she's having fun.
**[01:18] Mile**
Birthdays really are fun, aren't they?
**[01:21] Mile**
Oh... Now I've started remembering what
it was like back at the academy.
**[01:26] Reina**
The Academy?
**[01:28] Mavis**
You mean the Eckland Academy
you mentioned before?
**[01:31] Mile**
Yes.

**[03:16] (Flashback) Mile**
It's amazing!
**[03:18] (Flashback) Mile**
I'm so sorry you went to all this
trouble just to celebrate my birthday.
**[03:22] (Flashback) Marcela**
Of course we'd do this, Adele-san.
**[03:24] (Flashback) Monika**
We borrowed the dormitory
kitchen to make all of this.
**[03:27] (Flashback) Monika**
I hope it tastes good.
**[03:31] (Flashback) Aureana**
Marcela-sama was so excited about everything!
**[03:34] (Flashback) Monika**
Yes, she was!
**[03:35] (Flashback) Marcela**
What? Monika-san! Aureana-san!
**[03:37] (Flashback) Marcela**
I w-wouldn't say I was especially
excited or anything.
**[03:49] (Flashback) Aureana**
What's wrong, Adele-chan?
**[03:50] (Flashback) Monika**
Are you laughing?
**[03:52] (Flashback) Monika**
Did we say something amusing?
**[03:56] (Flashback) Mile**
I'm not laughing! I'm so moved, I'm crying!
**[03:59] (Flashback) Mile**
I mean... This is the first time for me.
**[04:02] (Flashback) Mile**
Having friends who would celebrate
my birthday with me is just...
**[04:10] (Flashback) Monika**
Oh, Adele... You shouldn't
cry over something like this.
**[04:14] (Flashback) Aureana**
That's right. Of course
we'd celebrate with you.
**[04:17] (Flashback) Marcela**
After all, we are friends.
**[04:21] (Flashback) Mile**
Everyone...
**[04:26] (Flashback) Girls**
Happy birthday, Adele-san!
**[04:29] (Flashback) Mile**
Thank you!
**[04:33] Mile**
...is how it happened.
**[04:35] Mile**
We all ate cake together.
**[04:37] Mile**
Oh!
**[04:38] Mile**
That Marcela-san put whipped
cream on the end of her nose!
**[04:42] Mile**
We just couldn't stop laughing!
**[04:47] Reina**
Really. Is that so.
**[04:49] Mile**
It really was such a fun birthday.
**[04:53] Mile**
I wonder if everyone's doing okay.
***SIGN*** Baths
**[04:58] Reina**
I don't like it.
**[05:01] Reina**
What do you mean, "cream
on the end of her nose"?
**[05:03] ---**
What do you mean, "we couldn't stop laughing"?
**[05:06] Reina**
And getting all giddy over it like that...
**[05:07] Reina**
That Mile!
**[05:10] Mile**
I can't eat any more...
**[05:14] Pauline**
Oh, Reina. Are you jealous?
**[05:16] Reina**
N-No, I'm not!
**[05:18] Reina**
Whatever happened in the past,
**[05:19] ---**
Mile is officially one of us now!
Part of the Crimson Vow!
**[05:23] Reina**
I'm not getting beat by some
friends in her memories.
**[05:26] Reina**
Th-This is just a sense of rivalry! Rivalry!
**[05:29] Pauline**
Society does tend to call
that "jealousy," though.
**[05:33] Reina**
Oh, honestly!
**[05:34] Reina**
Why isn't today Mile's birthday?
**[05:38] Reina**
If it were, then we could've given
her a party that was just as fun!
**[05:42] Pauline**
Today is Lenny-chan's birthday, right?
**[05:44] Mavis**
You don't ask for much, do you?
**[05:46] Mavis**
I guess, though, even if
it's not her birthday,
**[05:48] ---**
if it were some kind of anniversary,
we could celebrate that, but...
**[05:55] Pauline**
It *is* an anniversary!
**[05:57] Girls**
Huh?
**[05:58] Pauline**
It's been nearly two hundred days since
we met Mile at the Hunter Prep School!
**[06:05] Reina**
That's it!
**[06:08] Mile**
What?
**[06:09] Mile**
You're going to celebrate the
anniversary of two hundred days
**[06:12] ---**
since we met at the Hunter
Prep School with me?
**[06:14] Reina**
Of course we will, Mile.
It's your anniversary, after all.
**[06:20] Mile**
This is the best, Reina-san!
**[06:22] Mile**
I'm so glad I joined the Crimson Vow!
**[06:30] Reina**
This'll work! It'll make Mile
super happy! I'm sure of it!
**[06:36] Mavis**
She seems to be getting
excited all on her own over there.
**[06:39] Pauline**
But Reina's right.
**[06:41] ---**
I'm sure that if we do this for her,
it will make Mile-chan very happy.
**[06:45] Mavis**
Yes, I suppose that's true.
**[06:49] Reina**
Now it's decided!
It's time to make it happen!
**[06:51] Girls**
Yeah!
**[06:58] Mile**
Let's see, let's see...
What kind of work is there today?
**[07:01] Mile**
What about this one? Hmm...
**[07:04] Mile**
This one is... not so great.
**[07:08] Mile**
Are there any quests that stand out?
**[07:11] Mile**
Which one should we make our next job, guys?
**[07:15] Reina**
Oh! Sorry, I have something
I need to do, so...
**[07:18] Pauline**
That's right. I have some minor
things to take care of today.
**[07:22] Mavis**
And I... I haven't done thorough
maintenance on my sword in a long time,
**[07:26] ---**
so I have to do that.
**[07:27] Mavis**
Yup!
**[07:32] Mile**
Guys?
**[07:35] Reina**
Fireball!
**[07:39] Pauline**
Wind Storm!
**[07:43] Mavis**
Godspeed sword! 1.3x speed!
**[07:49] Mavis**
That was a little tougher than usual.
**[07:51] Mavis**
If Mile were here, a rock lizard
would be an easy catch.
**[07:54] Reina**
What are you talking about?
**[07:56] ---**
If we don't earn the money ourselves,
there's no point, right?
**[07:59] Reina**
Celebrations mean presents!
**[08:01] Reina**
That's why we've thoroughly investigated
exactly what Mile wants!
**[08:06] (Flashback) Mile**
Oh, I like that! It's so pretty!
**[08:11] (Flashback) ---**
I wish I could have it!
**[08:19] Pauline**
But for her to want an expensive
accessory like that, of all things...
**[08:24] Pauline**
It's way over budget.
**[08:26] Mavis**
It just means Mile's like
any other girl that way.
**[08:30] Mavis**
Though she isn't normal in any other way.
**[08:33] Reina**
Okay! On to the next quest!
**[08:35] Reina**
We're gonna earn a ton and surprise Mile!
***SIGN*** The Next Day
**[08:41] Mile**
Um, Reina-san, about work today...
**[08:44] Reina**
Sorry, I've got other plans today, too.
**[08:46] Mile**
Huh?
**[08:47] Mile**
Pauline-san!
**[08:48] Pauline**
I'm sorry, Mile-chan. I've got something, too.
**[08:53] Mavis**
Oh, right! I have to do some
maintenance on my sword!
**[08:56] Mile**
Mavis-san! You just did maintenance
on your sword yesterday!
**[08:59] Mavis**
Oh! Busy, busy!
**[09:04] Mile**
Very suspicious...
**[09:05] Mile**
Honestly! Sudden business!
Minor matters! Sword maintenance!
**[09:08] ---**
Lately, everyone's been going off somewhere!
**[09:11] Mile**
Do they not need me anymore?
**[09:12] ---**
Are they leaving me out?
**[09:13] ---**
Am I going back to being all alone?
**[09:16] Nano**
If it bothers you so much,
why don't you look into what they're doing?
**[09:19] Nano**
You can use that detection
magic you excel at.
**[09:21] Mile**
Oh, right!
**[09:23] Mile**
For Mile's Devil Ears hear all!
**[09:25] Mile**
But...
**[09:26] Mile**
I can't do that. It'd be
a violation of privacy.
**[09:29] Nano**
You do seem to be very honest
in these sorts of situations.
**[09:32] Nano**
You don't have any idea at
all what might be going on?
**[09:35] Nano**
A reason they might be leaving you out.
**[09:38] Mile**
How would I have any idea wha—
**[09:40] Mile**
Could it be...
**[10:01] (Flashback) Mile**
Yummy!
**[10:02] Mile**
Pauline-san found out I've been
snacking on the sweets she hid?
**[10:12] (Flashback) Mile**
Okay!
**[10:14] (Flashback) Mile**
Whoops! Little too soon
to wake up there, baby.
**[10:18] (Flashback) Mile**
No one's won this contest yet!
**[10:20] Mile**
Or maybe Reina-san's realized I've
been measuring her chest
**[10:22] ---**
while she's sleeping, then feeling relieved?
**[10:35] (Flashback) Mile**
Her art is the best!
**[10:37] Mile**
It couldn't be that Mavis-san knows I've
been secretly reading her picture diary?
**[10:41] Nano**
You're guilty of quite a bit,
aren't you, Mile-sama?
**[10:44] Mile**
What do I do? At this rate, I'll...
**[10:50] Reina**
Don't hit the face.
**[10:51] Reina**
Go for the body.
**[10:53] Pauline**
Gotcha, boss.
**[10:55] Pauline**
Hey! Whaddaya think you're lookin' at?
You think you're better than us?
**[10:58] Mile**
Wh-What have I done?
**[11:01] Mile**
I haven't done anything to make you angry...
**[11:04] Mile**
Oh! I just need to jump, right? I'll jump.
**[11:10] Mile**
You see? I don't have any money.
**[11:14] Mavis**
We've never liked you.
**[11:16] Mavis**
Going around, acting like an honors student...
Who d'you think you are?
**[11:19] Reina**
Don't go getting cocky just 'cuz you're
the only one who's got a previous life!
**[11:23] Girls**
Don't get cocky!
**[11:24] Reina**
Let's go.
**[11:29] Mile**
Why is this happening to me?
**[11:32] Mile**
O God! I can't see your face for the tears!
**[11:38] Nano**
What a handful.
**[11:40] Nano**
Then why don't you just
go and ask them directly?
**[11:49] Mile**
*How am I supposed to ask them anything?*
**[11:51] Mile**
* I can't just say, "Hey guys!*
* Why are you leaving me out?"*
**[11:56] Reina**
*What is this strange sense of tension?*
**[11:59] Mavis**
*This is why I'm no good with secrets.*
**[12:02] Pauline**
*We just need to hang in there until next week.*
**[12:04] Pauline**
* We have to stay strong until we*
* have enough money for her present!*
**[12:09] Mile**
U-Um!
**[12:14] Mile**
Uh... The weather was nice today, wasn't it?
**[12:18] Reina**
Y-Yes, it was. Very nice weather.
**[12:27] Lenny**
Thank you for your patronage!
**[12:29] Lenny**
Hope you come to see us again soon!
**[12:33] Mile**
Hey! Hey, Lenny-chan!
**[12:34] Mile**
Have Reina-san or the others
said anything about me?
**[12:38] Lenny**
Reina-san or the others? About you, Mile-san?
**[12:42] Mile**
Yes!
**[12:43] Mile**
If you tell me, I promise
I won't say anything, Lenny-chan.
**[12:46] Mile**
Complaints, insults,
or anything else! Just tell me!
**[12:50] Mile**
Please?
**[12:50] Lenny**
Complaints?
**[12:52] Lenny**
I haven't heard anything...
**[12:55] Lenny**
*What should I do?*
**[12:57] Lenny**
* They made me swear not to say anything,*
* no matter what Mile-san asked.*
**[13:02] Mile**
Oh! Do you not want to say
because you feel bad for me?
**[13:05] Mile**
Don't worry! I'm fine!
**[13:07] Mile**
Despite how I look,
I'm pretty strong emotionally.
**[13:09] Lenny**
* That's a lie. She doesn't*
* seem like that type at all!*
**[13:14] Mile**
Bring it on!
**[13:16] Lenny**
What are you saying?
**[13:17] Lenny**
I wouldn't hide things from you, would I?
**[13:23] Lenny**
Well... I'll just be going now.
**[13:26] Mile**
Lenny-chan, we've been friends since before
I went to the Hunter School, right?
**[13:30] Mile**
And I was the one who said we should
make this our base after graduation.
**[13:34] Mile**
I was the one who taught everyone how
to behave while working in a maid café.
**[13:37] Mile**
And the baths!
**[13:38] Mile**
We could have just moved to a different inn,
**[13:40] Mile**
but I convinced everyone
that we should build baths
**[13:43] ---**
at this inn with our earnings
from working as the Crimson Vow!
**[13:46] Mile**
Pauline-san is so opinionated about money.
**[13:48] ---**
Do you have any idea how hard that was?
**[13:50] Lenny**
No!
**[13:51] Lenny**
I'm sorry! I'm busy with work!
**[13:55] Mile**
Even Lenny-chan is...
**[13:56] Nano**
Mile-sama, what on earth are you doing?
**[14:00] Mile**
Oh! Could it be...

**[14:13] Pauline**
There you have it. Thank you for
your service thus far, Mile-chan.
**[14:16] Mile**
What?
**[14:17] Mavis**
Congratulations.
**[14:18] ---**
Starting today, you're an average girl,
just like you always wanted.
**[14:22] Mile**
W-Wait! Why am I suddenly
graduating from the group?
**[14:26] Mile**
Even adding Lenny-chan, couldn't we
just work as a group of five?
**[14:30] Reina**
Isn't it obvious?
**[14:31] Reina**

**[14:47] Mile**
Everything's gone white...
**[14:50] Mile**
Burned through with nothing left...
but white ash.
**[14:54] Mile**
Old man... Hey, old man...
**[14:56] Nano**
Who are you calling "old man"?
**[14:58] Mile**
Help me get my gloves off...
**[15:00] Nano**
You're not wearing any.
**[15:02] Mile**
Is Youko here?
**[15:03] Mile**
I want you to take these guys...
I want you to have them.
**[15:08] Nano**
Who are you talking to?
**[15:16] Mavis**
Once we obtain this cockatrice,
our mission will finally be complete.
**[15:21] Pauline**
We managed to make it in time for today.
**[15:24] Pauline**
And as for the accessory we were eyeing...
**[15:25] ---**
After we clear this quest,
we should be able to buy it.
**[15:29] Reina**
I wonder what Mile's face will look
like when we throw her a celebration.
**[15:33] Reina**
You think she'll be so moved she starts crying?
**[15:41] Mile**
Hmph...
**[15:42] Mile**
Fine, then.
**[15:43] Mile**
If they're going to ignore me,
then I'll do things on my own, too.
**[15:46] Mile**
I'll do this!
**[15:51] Mile**
How d'you like that? I've made
your Nendonaroids super ugly.
**[15:55] Mile**
You get it now? You! You! You!
**[16:00] Mile**
What am I doing?
**[16:03] Nano**
Exactly what I was wondering.
**[16:05] Nano**
Instead of pointlessly fleeing from reality,
**[16:07] Nano**
if it bothers you, shouldn't you
go talk with them?
**[16:10] Mile**
I told you! I can't ask them that!
**[16:13] Nano**
Mile-sama...
**[16:15] Mile**
I'm scared. What if Reina-san and the
others really say they don't need me?
**[16:22] Mile**
What if they're out there right now,
having fun, just the three of them...
**[16:26] Mile**
What do I do?
**[16:37] Nano**
What are you talking about?
**[16:39] Nano**
That will never happen.
**[16:41] Mile**
Y-You think so?
**[16:43] Nano**
Yes!
**[16:44] Nano**
There's no way Reina-dono and the
others could possibly abandon
**[16:48] ---**
such an unpredictable and comedic character.
**[16:49] Mile**
I don't think that's a compliment.
**[16:59] Mavis**
We're not getting beaten now,
not after we've come so far!
**[17:01] Pauline**
Of course not!
**[17:02] Pauline**
We need to complete this
quest for the gift budget!
**[17:06] Reina**
Wait for us, Mile!
**[17:12] Mile**
Guys?
**[17:22] Reina**
We did it!
**[17:23] Mavis**
Yeah!
**[17:25] Girls**
Mission complete!
**[17:27] Mile**
Guys!
**[17:31] Reina**
Mile!
**[17:32] Mile**
Th...
**[17:33] Mile**
That's so mean!
**[17:35] Mile**
How could you go take jobs
as Hunters without me?
**[17:37] Mile**
You're leaving me behind! Just the three
of you, laughing and giggling...
**[17:42] Pauline**
Laughing and giggling?
**[17:44] Reina**
I-It's not like that, Mile.
**[17:46] Reina**
We have reasons for...
**[17:48] Mile**
You really don't need me?
**[17:51] Mile**
Is this the problem of the rotten mikan?
**[17:53] Mile**
Are you firing me and calling it "graduation"?
**[17:55] Reina**
I have no idea what you're talking about!
**[17:58] Pauline**
It's okay, just calm down.
**[17:59] Mavis**
Mile, behind you! Behind you!
**[18:01] Mile**
Is having bigger boobs really so much better?
**[18:03] ---**
Is being flat so wrong?
**[18:09] Mile**
Pipe down!
**[18:15] Mile**
I trusted you!
**[18:18] Mile**
I'm part of the Crimson Vow, too, aren't I?
**[18:23] Pauline**
Oh dear... She's crying.
**[18:26] Reina**
This isn't what I was hoping for.
**[18:35] Mile**
Oh, is that what it was?
**[18:38] Mile**
You were doing all that for me?
**[18:40] Mile**
You should have just said
so from the beginning.
**[18:43] Reina**
If we did that, we wouldn't be
able to surprise you, would we?
**[18:47] Mavis**
But since Mile burned that
cockatrice to a crisp,
**[18:50] ---**
all our work so far went up in smoke.
**[18:52] Pauline**
It's too bad.
**[18:54] ---**
Just a little more, and we'd have
been able to buy that accessory.
**[18:57] Mile**
Accessory? What are you talking about?
**[19:01] Girls**
Huh?
**[19:02] Reina**
See? It's that, right?
The thing you want, Mile.
**[19:06] Mavis**
That's why we worked so hard to earn money.
**[19:09] Mavis**
It's quite a costly item.
**[19:11] Mile**
Y-You've got it all wrong!
**[19:13] Mile**
That's not my taste at all!
**[19:15] ---**
That shiny, ostentatious display of wealth...
**[19:18] Pauline**
What? Really?
**[19:19] Mile**
I think, probably, what I was looking at was...
**[19:23] Mile**
Over here!
**[19:25] Pauline**
What pretty pendants. And
priced quite reasonably too.
**[19:29] Mile**
Right?
**[19:30] Mile**
I thought, if it were these, we might
all be able to get matching ones.
**[19:37] Reina**
Mile...
**[19:39] Reina**
Honestly, you should have just
said so from the beginning!
**[19:42] Mile**
I'll do that next time.
**[19:46] Nano**
These ladies sure like making
things difficult, don't they?
**[19:52] Reina**
Now...
**[19:54] Reina**
In celebration of the 200th day
since Mile met the three of us...
**[19:59] Reina**
Cheers!
**[20:00] Girls**
Cheers!
**[20:06] Mavis**
Wow! This is pretty lavish.
**[20:08] Pauline**
We worked hard and went all-out today.
**[20:11] Lenny**
Don't hold back on the food!
Eat as much as you want!
**[20:14] Lenny**
Today's a special anniversary
for all of you, after all!
**[20:17] Mile**
Thank you, Lenny-chan!
**[20:19] Mavis**
That's right.
**[20:21] Mavis**
If it's the anniversary of
Mile meeting us, then...
**[20:24] Mavis**
It also means it's the anniversary
of the four of us meeting, right?
**[20:29] Pauline**
Why are you saying something
so obvious now, of all times?
**[20:31] Mavis**
Well, somehow, I didn't realize that.
**[20:35] Mavis**
I got completely swept up in Reina's fervor
about throwing a celebration for Mile.
**[20:39] Pauline**
I got swept up in Reina's fervor, too.
**[20:42] Reina**
What are you talking about?
You guys were excited, too!
**[20:46] Mile**
Reina-san!
**[20:47] Mile**
This celebration is all
thanks to you, isn't it?
**[20:52] Mile**
I'm so moved!
**[20:54] Reina**
Wha? Wait! Mile! Cut that out!
**[20:55] Pauline**
I'm so happy for you, Reina.
**[20:57] Mavis**
She's crying with joy, just as you'd hoped.
**[21:00] Reina**
Okay! I get it already!
**[21:02] Reina**
Honestly...
**[21:05] Mile**
But, you know, I was really
anxious there for a while.
**[21:09] Mile**
I thought maybe Reina-san had realized
I've been measuring her chest
**[21:11] ---**
in the middle of the night.
**[21:13] Reina**
What?
**[21:14] Mile**
I was so worried that's
why you all hated me now.
**[21:19] Mile**
The way I steal the snacks
Pauline-san's hidden away...
**[21:23] Mile**
Or maybe Mavis-san had found out
I read her picture diary...
**[21:28] Mile**
But I'm so glad it was all
just a misunderstanding.
**[21:31] Mile**
This is what they mean when they
say "adversity builds character."
**[21:36] Mile**
To think that Pauline-san, who immediately
notices when money goes missing,
**[21:39] ---**
didn't notice cookies going missing.
**[21:42] Mile**
It's a weakness I never expected!
**[21:45] Lenny**
Dad! Mom! Hold the food!
**[21:48] Nano**
This is certain to become the
anniversary of a tragedy.
**[21:52] Reina**
What do you mean by that?
**[21:54] Pauline**
Perhaps you'd like to tell us in detail.
**[21:57] Mavis**
Tonight looks to be a long night.
**[22:00] Mile**
Huh?
**[22:03] Girls**
Mile!
**[22:05] Mile**
I'm so sorry!
***SIGN*** Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities
Average in the Next Life?!
