[00:01] Mei
    Big news, big news!
[00:04] Mei
    Big news!
[00:06] Mei
    I managed to get into the Cartado Festival!
[00:09] All three
    Huh?
[00:10] Mei
    Once a year, the Tarkas,
    the only manufacturers
[00:13] Mei
    of Cartado in the world,
    host a Cartado Festival!
[00:16] Mei
    It's a private festival that
    outsiders can't participate in,
[00:18] Mei
    so it's a secret festival that
    most only ever read about!
[00:22] Mei
    And I...
[00:23] Mei
    got invited...
[00:24] Mei
    to attend!
[00:32] Yusha
    Uh, and who's that?
[00:34] Mei
    This is Dodo-san,
[00:36] Mei
    the Tarka I met and bonded with
     at my usual Cartado shop.
[00:40] Mei
    He's allowing me to participate!
[00:44] All three
    So cute!
[00:46] Fai
    Sit here!
[00:48] Seira
    Would you like some snacks?
[00:49] Yusha
    Have some tea!
[00:50] All three
    So cute!
[00:55] Seira
    I'm Seira. Nice to meet you!
[00:55] Mei
    Um, so about the Cartado Festival...
[00:57] Yusha
    I'm Yusha!
[00:58] Fai
    I'm Fai!
[01:00] Yusha
    Are the snacks good?
[01:02] Mei
    You've all wasted no time in making friends.
[01:06] Seira
    Do you like the snacks?
[01:06] Mei
    Yet it took me months to do that...
[01:07] Fai
    Those snacks taste good!
SIGN    Endro!
SIGN    Roll 9
    Secret Cartado Festival!
[02:55] Mei
    "This way, path to village." I see.
[02:59] Mei
    So this cave leads to Tarka Village, then.
[03:03] Mei
    Well, that means this is as
    far as you girls can come.
[03:06] All
    What?!
[03:09] Mei
    Don't "What?!" me!
[03:10] Mei
    There are lots of evil merchants
[03:12] Mei
    who'd love to know how to get to
    Tarka Village, where Cartado originate.
[03:16] Mei
    It's not a place outsiders can just waltz into.
[03:19] Mei
    It was a miracle that I received
    permission from Dodo-san,
[03:22] Mei
    so I'm going to the Tarka Village
    I've longed to see
[03:24] Mei
    and attending that Cartado Festival!
[03:28] Fai
    He says, "You girls can come, too!"
[03:31] Mei
    Fai-san! Don't say such ridiculous things
     just because you want to come.
[03:36] Mei
    "You all, come, village, welcome."
[03:40] Mei
    Wait, you're right.
[03:41] Mei
    How did you understand him?!
[03:43] Fai
    I just kind of did.
[03:44] Fai
    Wild instincts, maybe?
[03:46] Seira
    So does that mean it's okay
    for us to go to the village?
[03:49] Yusha
    Yay!
[03:51] Yusha
    Yay!
[03:58] Mei
    It is okay to be taking this so lightly?
[04:09] Fai
    Looks like this is a dead end.
[04:17] Yusha
    Wow, a huge hole!
[04:19] Seira
    Huh? What's going on?
[04:23] Fai
    Sounds like he's telling us to jump down.
[04:26] Mei
    She's right.
[04:27] Seira
    Huh?!
[04:28] Seira
    N-No way, no way, no way, no way!
[04:32] Yusha
    He really went.
[04:35] Yusha
    All right, here I go!
[04:37] Fai
    Me, too!
[04:38] Seira
    Huh?!
[04:38] Mei
    This is for the Cartado Festival!
[04:43] Seira
    Fine!
[04:49] Seira
    H-How were they able to
    jump without hesitation?!
[04:52] Seira
    Am I just fussing too much?!
[04:54] Mei
    Yusha-san and Fai-san are just special.
[04:57] Seira
    But you're not panicking, either!
[05:00] Mei
    I'm panicking quite a bit.
[05:02] Seira
    It doesn't seem that way at all.
[05:04] Mei
    I'm the type who'd drown in a river
    without anyone ever noticing.
[05:07] Seira
    That's a scary thing to just let slip!
[05:12] Seira
    What's that?
[05:14] Mei
    Probably a gate or something
    that leads to the village.
[05:18] Yusha
    Then we'll be in the village
    once we pass through!
[05:21] Fai
    Yahoo! We're there!
[05:34] Seira
    I wish it could've dropped us
    out a little more gently.
[05:41] Mei
    Those are...
[05:51] Yusha
    What odd trees.
[05:53] Fai
    It looks like they're bearing
    paper instead of fruit.
[05:56] Mei
    They are!
[05:57] Mei
    Those are the Cartado trees I've
    always, always wanted to see,
[06:02] Mei
    ever since I read about them!
[06:03] All three
    What?!
[06:08] Yusha
    I didn't know Cartado grew on trees.
[06:11] Seira
    I always thought some powerful mage
[06:13] Seira
    was using some kind of special magic circle
[06:16] Seira
    to raise his power and imbue
    the spells into cards.
[06:20] Fai
    Me, too!
[06:23] Mei
    Yes! That's part of what
    makes Cartado so deep!
[06:26] Mei
    Cartado aren't manufactured
    items created by man.
[06:30] Mei
    They're a product of nature
    grown from the land itself!
[06:32] Yusha
    Wow.
[06:33] Yusha
    There are all kinds of Cartado
    growing from a single tree.
[06:37] Mei
    That's another part of their mystery!
[06:39] Mei
    From what I've researched,
[06:41] Mei
    the stronger theory is
    that the earth of this land
[06:44] Mei
    produces Cartado more so than the trees.
[06:47] Fai
    Wow, that's strange.
[06:51] Fai
    Are those Tarka children?
[06:54] Yusha
    Wow! They're wearing such cute outfits!
[07:03] Mei
    What are they saying?
[07:05] Fai
    Uh, they said they're wearing that attire
    because today's the festival day.
[07:10] Mei
    I see.
[07:11] Seira
    You've just accepted Fai's intuition, huh?
[07:14] Mei
    When I thought about it,
[07:15] Mei
    it's easier having an interpreter
    than translating from a book.
[07:24] Mei
    Hey!
[07:26] Mei
    Cartado are precious!
[07:28] Mei
    You have to handle them with care!
[07:31] Mei
    My goodness.
[07:35] Fai
    He said it's no big deal,
    since they grow every year.
[07:39] Fai
    He also said you all can have
    some as well, if you want.
[07:42] Mei
    Huh?!
[07:43] Mei
    Seriously?!
[07:45] Mei
    I'll take this one!
[07:46] Mei
    This one! And that one! They're mine!
[07:51] Fai
    Calm down, Mei-chan!
[07:51] Mei
    I'll take all of the Cartado here!
[07:52] Yusha
    Calm down!
[07:54] Seira
    You'll break your staff!
[07:57] Mei
    I lost myself in this paradise.
[08:10] Mei
    So this is Tarka Village.
[08:12] Mei
    I'm finally setting foot in the forbidden
    village that keeps outsiders out!
[08:17] Mei
    Everyone, make sure you're
    not rude to the villagers.
[08:25] Mei
    They're welcoming us?
[08:27] Yusha
    They're really friendly!
[08:32] Fai
    He said everyone's really happy,
    since they rarely get any visitors.
[08:36] Seira
    They're nice people.
[08:38] Mei
    This is even more reason to make sure
    others don't find out about it!
[08:41] Yusha
    We'd better keep the way here a secret!
[08:44] Mei
    But frankly, I do want to brag about this a bit.
[08:49] Seira
    Hey, now. Keep your fanaticism in check.
[08:52] Mei
    I know!
[08:54] Mei
    My lips are sealed!
[09:00] Fai
    He says, "Let's get you changed
    into the festival attire!"
[09:04] Yusha
    Oh! We get to wear that, too?!
[09:07] Mei
    I want to wear it!
[09:09] Mei
    H-Huh?
[09:11] Mei
    It won't go up any higher.
[09:17] Fai
    It's catching at my chest.
[09:19] Yusha
    Hup!
[09:26] Yusha
    Yes! I got it on!
[09:34] Seira
    Uh...
[09:40] Fai
    He says they have larger ones!
[09:43] Yusha
    I got it on! It's so cute!
[09:47] Fai
    It fits perfectly! It's so easy to move in!
[09:51] Mei
    I was worried there for a moment.
[09:56] Seira
    The first one fit me just fine.
[10:04] Fai
    He says this is the main area for the festival.
[10:08] Fai
    He says the festival's about to start.
[10:12] Mei
    It's finally time!
[10:14] Mei
    I'm actually present at this huge event
[10:17] Mei
    that Cartado fans worldwide would
    drool over: the Cartado Festival.
[10:21] Mei
    The only harvest festival that celebrates
    and honors a crop of Cartado!
[10:32] Fai
    He says they're going to sing
    the Cartado Festival song.
[10:35] Mei
    Huh?
[10:36] Both
    Song?
[10:47] Fai
    He telling us to sing along.
[10:49] Seira
    Huh? But we don't know the words.
[10:52] Mei
    I guess it doesn't matter
    if we don't know them.
[10:57] Fai
    Yeah!
[10:58] Yusha
    Then let's just sing something!
[11:40] Fai
    He says that they're now going to compete
    to determine this year's Cartado King.
[11:45] Seira
    Cartado King?
[11:47] Mei
    I've read about this before.
[11:49] Mei
    It's the main event of the festival.
[11:51] Mei
    Every year they compete to collect
[11:53] Mei
    Cartado from the wild Cartado
    trees growing around the village,
[11:56] Mei
    and not the cultivated ones,
[11:58] Mei
    and whoever manages to harvest
    the most wonderful Cartado
[12:02] Mei
    becomes that year's Cartado King...
[12:05] Mei
    the star of the festival!
[12:08] Yusha
    Really? That sounds fun!
[12:10] Seira
    You do like that sort of thing.
[12:14] Fai
    He says anyone can participate.
[12:16] Yusha
    All right! Let's do it!
[12:18] Mei
    Of course!
[12:21] Fai
    "Ready," he says.
[12:25] Fai
    "Start," he says.
[12:27] Mei
    I got that!
[12:31] Yusha
    All right, let's do our best!
[12:33] Seira
    If we're doing this, let's aim to be King!
[12:35] Fai
    Of course!
[12:37] Mei
    Let's do it!
[12:53] Yusha
    There's one!
[12:57] Yusha
    Huh?
[12:58] Fai
    He says you can't become King
    with the ones found around here.
[13:02] Fai
    You need to find rarer ones.
[13:04] Mei
    I see. I read about this before.
[13:07] Mei
    The rarer a Cartado is,
     the more difficult it is to harvest.
[13:10] Mei
    And even in the wild,
     they grow only on trees in difficult places.
[13:14] Seira
    I guess everything's been written in books.
[13:17] Mei
    That's right!
[13:18] Mei
    Generations of Cartado fans have
[13:20] Mei
    continued their unyielding
    pursuit to record it all!
[13:25] Fai
    He says to go this way.
[13:31] Seira
    Are you saying we have to climb this?
[13:34] Fai
    He says so.
[13:36] Seira
    Of course...
[13:46] Fai
    I'm great at this stuff! Yahoo!
[13:49] Yusha
    That looks fun!
[13:53] Seira
    Those two really are full of energy,
     aren't they, Mei?
[13:58] Seira
    Mei?
[13:59] Mei
    Seira-san!
[14:00] Mei
    My heart's dancing so hard
    at this opportunity
[14:03] Mei
    to experience harvesting
    rare Cartado in the wild!
[14:07] Mei
    Also, if I manage to become Cartado King
     at the legendary Cartado Festival,
[14:11] Mei
    I'll be able to brag for life among fans!
[14:15] Seira
    I guess so.
[14:17] Seira
    Uh, the Cartado tree is...
[14:21] Seira
    Oh, there!
[14:22] Mei
    No!
[14:23] Mei
    That's not a rare one!
[14:25] Seira
    Huh? You can tell from this far away?
[14:27] Mei
    Of course!
[14:29] Mei
    I can tell Cartado apart even from so
    far away that they look like specks!
[14:33] Mei
    By the way, that's a "Toad Voice."
[14:36] Seira
    Y-You can even tell that much?
[14:38] Seira
    By the way, what kind of spell is that?
[14:40] Mei
    One that makes your voice
    sound like a frog's.
[14:42] Seira
    What would you even use that for?
[14:45] Yusha
    Oh, I found one!
[14:47] Yusha
    Is that rare?
[14:51] Mei
    Yusha-san! That's a legendary rare Cartado!
[14:55] Yusha
    Huh? Really?!
[14:57] Yusha
    All right! Here I go!
[15:02] Fai
    Leave it to me!
[15:07] Fai
    I got it!
[15:12] All
    Fai-chan!
[15:12] All
    Fai-san!
[15:18] Fai
    That was close.
[15:24] Mei
    They're taking it!
[15:25] Seira
    Too bad.
[15:26] Fai
    Not yet! Dodo!
[15:45] Seira
    I guess this makes that person Cartado King.
[15:49] Yusha
    Really?
[15:50] Seira
    I mean, it was a legendary rare, right?
[15:52] Seira
    You aren't going to find two or three of them.
[15:55] Fai
    But it looks like Mei-chan
    hasn't given up yet.
[15:59] Mei
    That's a common. That's a common, too.
[16:03] Mei
    That's... an ordinary rare.
[16:06] Seira
    Mei, are you looking for legendary rares?
[16:08] Yusha
    Oh! Maybe we can find a mythic rare
     like the one Rona-chan has!
[16:13] Mei
    Impossible.
[16:14] Mei
    There are only a few mythic
    rares in the entire world.
[16:17] Mei
    They're all said to be given from God
[16:20] Mei
    and passed down for
    generations since long ago.
[16:24] Mei
    There's no written record of any
    being found growing on trees.
[16:28] Mei
    But there's still a chance that
    we might find a legendary rare.
[16:32] Mei
    Besides, even if I don't become Cartado King,
[16:36] Mei
    I'm getting to participate in the
    Cartado Festival I dreamed of!
[16:39] Mei
    I'm going to keep at it until time's up
[16:41] Mei
    and enjoy this moment I dreamed of,
     for as long as possible!
[16:46] Yusha
    Mei-chan...
[16:48] Seira
    Mei...
[16:49] Yusha
    Then I'll help you now, Mei-chan!
[16:52] Seira
    Yeah.
[16:53] Seira
    I've never seen Mei this passionate before.
[16:55] Fai
    What should we do? Ask away!
[17:00] Fai
    Dodo says he'll help, too!
[17:03] Mei
    Everyone...
[17:04] Mei
    Thank you!
[17:32] Mei
    Let's call it quits.
[17:35] Fai
    Huh?
[17:37] Yusha
    You're giving up?
[17:38] Mei
    I'm searching for something
     we're not likely to find anyway.
[17:42] Mei
    And the sun's about to set,
     so we're getting close to the end.
[17:46] Mei
    Thank you all for coming along with me today.
[17:53] Mei
    That's...
[17:57] Fai
    Mei-chan?
[18:03] Fai
    Oh! It's a Cartado!
[18:05] Mei
    It is.
[18:07] Mei
    It must have gotten buried
    in a landslide or something.
[18:10] Mei
    But this is...
[18:16] Mei
    Th-This is...
[18:17] Seira
    Huh?!
[18:19] Yusha
    It's a huge Cartado!
[18:23] Mei
    I wonder if it's a mutation.
[18:25] Seira
    How are you so calm with such
    a rare Cartado before you?!
[18:30] Seira
    You might be able to become
    King with this one!
[18:34] Mei
    It's rare, all right,
[18:36] Mei
    but this is just a one-star common.
[18:40] Yusha
    Still!
[18:41] Yusha
    We should try entering with it,
     since we found it!
[18:44] Fai
    It'll stand out, at least!
[18:48] Mei
    Well, in that case...
[18:58] Mei
    Huh? What?
[19:06] Fai
    He says he sees legendary rares
    about once every few years,
[19:09] Fai
    but he's never seen a Cartado this big!
[19:12] Fai
    It's wonderful!
[19:14] Seira
    We did it!
[19:15] Yusha
    Mei-chan, you're Cartado King!
[19:21] Mei
    I-I'm Cartado King?
[19:31] Yusha
    What kind of bonus do you get
    for becoming Cartado King?
[19:35] Fai
    He says that's it.
[19:36] Seira
    Huh? We worked so hard just for that?
[19:40] Fai
    Well, who cares?
[19:42] Fai
    Mei-chan seems happy.
[19:43] Yusha
    Uh-huh!
[19:45] Seira
    I suppose.
[19:53] Fai
    He says it's time for the festival's finale.
[19:56] Yusha
    Are those Cartado?
[19:57] Mei
    They're the wild Cartado
    everyone picked today.
[20:01] Mei
    They do that to offer them up to the gods.
[20:06] Seira
    I see. It is a harvest festival, after all.
[20:09] Mei
    I can't wait to see what the finale is!
[20:18] Mei
    Huh?!
[20:20] Yusha
    They lit them on fire?!
[20:22] Fai
    Wh-What's going on, Dodo?!
[20:28] Fai
    Uh, he says they do this
    to offer all the Cartado
[20:31] Fai
    everyone's gathered to the heavens as
    a prayer for a good harvest next year.
[20:37] Seira
    Huh?! Even that legendary rare Cartado?!
[20:40] Seira
    What a waste!
[20:41] Yusha
    Mei-chan's jumbo Cartado
    is going to burn up, too!
[20:44] Fai
    Can we take that one back, at least?!
[20:49] Mei
    No!
[20:51] Mei
    As a Cartado fan,
     I have respect for the Cartado,
[20:55] Mei
    and thus I must respect the Cartado Festival
    and Tarka Village, where they're produced!
[21:00] Mei
    If this is part of this village's culture,
[21:02] Mei
    we have no right to stop them!
[21:06] Yusha
    Mei-chan...
[21:09] Yusha
    Yeah, you're right!
[21:10] Yusha
    That's our Mei-chan!
[21:42] Mei
    Ah... It's so beautiful.
[21:45] Mei
    I'm really glad I got to come here.
[21:49] Mei
    The world of Cartado is truly deep.
[21:59] Mei
    But still,
[22:02] Mei
    it's such a waste.
SIGN    Snowy Mountain Dream!
[23:36] Seira
    "Snowy Mountain Dream!"
