[00:20] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[00:22] ---
    I found this in the forest.
[00:33] ---
    You have a friend?
[00:38] ---
    It's nice to have friends, isn't it?
[00:44] ---
    Kindness...
[00:48] ---
    ...is in all of nature.
[02:32] ---
    Another beautiful day today, isn't it?
[02:34] ---
    Beautiful...
[02:36] ---
    ...not!
[02:37] ---
    Zera!
[02:39] ---
    Weren't you going to straighten up
    the library today, Mavis?
[02:43] ---
    Oh, that's right!
[02:45] ---
    It figures you forgot.
[02:47] ---
    I'll go do it now.
[02:51] ---
    Mavis! You're not wearing shoes again!
[02:56] ---
    It feels better to go barefoot!
[03:00] ---
    Hey... have you been...
[03:04] ---
    ...hung up on that day...
[03:06] ---
    ...all this time?
[03:15] ---
    What you said then was so cruel, Zera!
[03:20] ---
    But it doesn't bother me a bit!
[03:23] ---
    After all, we're friends!
[03:25] ---
    Mavis...
[03:27] ---
    Jeez! You're adorable!
[03:29] ---
    So are you, Zera!
[03:32] ---
    Let's go!
[03:33] ---
    Right.
SIGN    Beginning of the Adventure
[03:51] ---
    Seven years ago...
[03:53] ---
    ...Blue Skull attacked
    the wizard guild Red Lizard.
[03:58] ---
    Guild members and villagers alike
[04:01] ---
    were all murdered.
[04:04] ---
    Only Zera and I survived.
[04:09] ---
    Seven years later,
[04:10] ---
    we've been living together all this time.
[04:14] ---
    Here on Tenroujima...
[04:16] ---
    Just the two of us...
[04:19] ---
    All right!
[04:21] ---
    Let's search for the Tenrou Jade!
[04:23] ---
    Search for it how?
[04:25] ---
    All we can do is split up and look around.
[04:28] ---
    Okay, I'll head this way.
[04:31] ---
    I'll go this way.
[04:34] ---
    If you find it, put out a signal.
[04:36] ---
    Gotcha!
[04:42] ---
    Where should I put these books?
[04:44] ---
    On that shelf.
[04:47] ---
    How about these?
[04:48] ---
    On this shelf.
[04:49] ---
    And these?
[04:51] ---
    Um...
[04:57] ---
    We don't have enough shelves!
[04:59] ---
    It's okay.
[05:02] ---
    Let's move these books.
[05:07] ---
    This is...
[05:09] ---
    ...a book on the art of warfare
    that I haven't read yet!
[05:12] ---
    Great, now you're studying again!
[05:15] ---
    Put that down! Cleaning comes first!
[05:24] ---
    That emblem...
[05:26] ---
    I believe it's...
[05:27] ---
    ...the wizard guild Red Lizard.
[05:31] ---
    I'll use this shelf for books
    I read over and over again.
[05:43] ---
    You're slacking off again!
[05:45] ---
    And you've read that book
    already several times!
[05:48] ---
    No matter how many times I read it,
    I always make a new discovery.
[05:51] ---
    That's very Mavis of you...
[05:52] ---
    But this is no time for me to be impressed!
[05:55] ---
    Save it until after the books are put away!
[05:58] ---
    Right!
[06:07] ---
    Zera, what's the matter?
[06:09] ---
    Someone's coming!
[06:11] ---
    Someone's on this island?
[06:16] ---
    Zera!
[06:17] ---
    I haven't talked to another
    human being in seven years!
[06:21] ---
    What should I do?!
[06:23] ---
    I've been here the whole time!
[06:27] ---
    Here they come!
[06:29] ---
    Please leave this to me.
[06:33] ---
    Mavis!
[06:37] ---
    It'll be okay.
[06:40] ---
    Okay.
[06:47] ---
    A library...
[06:57] ---
    Why did you come to this island?
[06:59] ---
    You scared me!
[07:01] ---
    I didn't hear anything
    about people living here!
[07:05] ---
    This complicates things...
[07:07] ---
    Um...
[07:09] ---
    Oh, see, actually...
[07:11] ---
    ...I've come to investigate
    the island's ecosystem.
[07:14] ---
    That's a lie.
[07:17] ---
    If you were an expert in biology,
[07:19] ---
    you'd be taking measures against the toxic pollen
    from this island's weed, Jagdrinka.
[07:24] ---
    Jagdrinka?
[07:25] ---
    I guess you didn't know, little lady.
[07:28] ---
    In the city, we have a drug
    that neutralizes Jagdrinka.
[07:34] ---
    Why are you really here?
[07:36] ---
    I told you...
[07:38] ---
    Unfortunately, Jagdrinka isn't toxic.
[07:42] ---
    That's basic biological knowledge.
[07:45] ---
    I caught you, huh?
[07:47] ---
    That's the way, Mavis!
[07:50] ---
    You're a smart little lady, huh?
[07:52] ---
    That's because I read a lot of books.
[07:55] ---
    We're treasure hunters who are searching
    for a treasure called the Tenrou Jade.
[08:00] ---
    Tenrou Jade?
[08:01] ---
    Don't tell me you don't know it.
[08:04] ---
    It's an S class treasure that's hidden
    somewhere on this island.
[08:07] ---
    Of course I know it.
[08:09] ---
    But it's a sacred symbol of this island.
[08:12] ---
    I can't let any outsiders have it.
[08:16] ---
    In that case, I'll just
    have to take it by force.
[08:30] ---
    But with a little lady like you,
    I don't feel like doing that, either.
[08:38] ---
    You seem to be a smart girl,
[08:40] ---
    so why not play a game with me
    that uses our heads?
[08:44] ---
    A game?
[08:46] ---
    If I win, you tell me
    where the Tenrou Jade is.
[08:50] ---
    If you win, I'll leave
    the island straightaway.
[08:59] ---
    Then let's do this.
[09:00] ---
    If you win, I'll let you meet a fairy.
[09:03] ---
    A fairy?!
[09:06] ---
    I'll do it!
[09:07] ---
    Of course you will.
[09:09] ---
    Idiot...
[09:11] ---
    The rules are simple.
[09:13] ---
    It's a game where we guess
    the truth about each other.
[09:16] ---
    The truth about each other?
[09:18] ---
    Yep.
[09:19] ---
    For example, if it's my turn,
    I could say you're a woman.
[09:23] ---
    If it's true, then it's your turn next.
[09:25] ---
    You're a man.
[09:27] ---
    That's right. Like that.
[09:31] ---
    Whoever guesses wrong first loses.
[09:33] ---
    And no lying, right?
[09:35] ---
    Of course not.
[09:36] ---
    However, there is one additional rule.
[09:40] ---
    The guess can't be something
    that applies to both of us.
[09:43] ---
    Applies to both of us?
[09:45] ---
    For example, "You have eyes."
[09:49] ---
    "You have a heart."
[09:52] ---
    If we went like that,
    there'd be no end to the game.
[09:55] ---
    I see...
[09:56] ---
    It's a game in which you see through the
    other person with intuition and insight.
[09:59] ---
    Naturally, each guess can only be used once.
[10:03] ---
    Can we try it once as a test run?
[10:06] ---
    Go ahead.
[10:08] ---
    You're not a biologist.
[10:10] ---
    Correct.
[10:12] ---
    You like books.
[10:14] ---
    That's correct.
[10:15] ---
    You're wearing a leather jacket.
[10:18] ---
    Correct.
[10:19] ---
    But you can only do one guess about
    the person's physical appearance.
[10:23] ---
    Otherwise, the game would never end.
[10:25] ---
    Understood.
[10:26] ---
    You're a teenager.
[10:28] ---
    That's correct.
[10:30] ---
    You're...
[10:32] ---
    ...in your 20s.
[10:34] ---
    Wrong!
[10:36] ---
    Appearance aside, I'm still a teenager!
[10:40] ---
    I win!
[10:42] ---
    That was the trial run.
[10:44] ---
    Next is the real thing.
[10:46] ---
    It's too late to drop out now.
[10:49] ---
    Oh, Mavis, you idiot...
[10:52] ---
    There's no way she'll win
     that goofy game.
[10:57] ---
    Little lady...
[10:58] ---
    Yes. Let's do it, the real deal.
[11:01] ---
    Gotcha.
[11:06] ---
    What is that?
[11:08] ---
    An A class treasure, Judgment Field.
[11:11] ---
    You can't tell a lie within this space.
[11:13] ---
    Anyone who does is judged
    to be the game's loser.
[11:17] ---
    It's a magic item.
[11:18] ---
    Magic?!
[11:20] ---
    Yeah.
[11:22] ---
    Since we can't tell any lies,
[11:23] ---
    that means you can't
    go back on your word, either.
[11:27] ---
    My word?
[11:28] ---
    The agreement to tell me where
    the Tenrou Jade is if I win.
[11:32] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[11:35] ---
    The game is so interesting
    that I forgot that part.
[11:37] ---
    That's right! If I win,
    I get to meet a fairy!
[11:41] ---
    Nice.
[11:43] ---
    This magic works in my favor, too.
[11:48] ---
    After all, I actually won the
    test run before, didn't I?
[11:52] ---
    What?
[11:54] ---
    According to the rules, we can't ask
    about something that applies to us both.
[11:57] ---
    I'm a teenager,
    so if you're a teenager too,
[12:01] ---
    you lost for saying something
    that applies to us both.
[12:05] ---
    I feel confident knowing
    the magic will judge the next one.
[12:10] ---
    This brat is sharper than I thought.
[12:14] ---
    But...
[12:16] ---
    ...there's a trick to this game.
[12:16] ---
    Fairy! Fairy!
[12:19] ---
    The power of information.
[12:21] ---
    With sports, they say the
    home team has the advantage.
[12:24] ---
    But in this game, it's exactly the opposite.
[12:27] ---
    Too much information is
    out in the open at home.
[12:29] ---
    Favorite color, today's meal...
[12:32] ---
    Interests aside from books...
[12:34] ---
    I can imagine it all.
[12:37] ---
    On the other hand, there's hardly
    any information about myself.
[12:39] ---
    There's no way she'll be able
    to see through me.
[12:42] ---
    So, shall we begin?
[12:44] ---
    Let's decide on who goes first.
[12:46] ---
    You can choose whichever way you like.
[12:49] ---
    What?!
[12:51] ---
    Whether I go first or second in this game,
[12:55] ---
    I'm going to win in one turn.
[12:59] ---
    This was my first meeting with Yuri.
[13:03] ---
    Fairy Tail would be
    established 95 days later.
[13:25] ---
    Hey, hey, little lady.
    Do you understand the rules?
[13:29] ---
    Yes, of course.
[13:31] ---
    Your magic force field detects lies, right?
[13:35] ---
    Yeah.
[13:36] ---
    And since you bragged you'd
    win this in one turn,
[13:38] ---
    if you don't follow through,
    that'll become a lie.
[13:41] ---
    So I should keep in mind that
    lying results in losing, right?
[13:44] ---
    Yeah.
[13:48] ---
    I don't believe this...
[13:49] ---
    I've been playing this game
    since I was a kid.
[13:52] ---
    I've never won a match on the first turn.
[13:56] ---
    Is she bluffing?
[13:58] ---
    Just to rattle me?
[14:02] ---
    Interesting.
[14:03] ---
    This game definitely won't be won
    on the first turn.
[14:08] ---
    So you don't care who goes first, huh?
[14:10] ---
    That's correct.
[14:11] ---
    Then I'll go first.
[14:14] ---
    She's a bird-lover. That's obvious.
[14:18] ---
    And with that, the game
    won't be over in one turn.
[14:21] ---
    Here I go.
[14:24] ---
    You're a bird...
[14:25] ---
    Incorrect!
[14:28] ---
    You made a mistake, so I win, yes?
[14:31] ---
    Wait a second!
[14:33] ---
    I didn't get to finish!
[14:36] ---
    Huh?
[14:37] ---
    Was there a rule about having to listen
    to the end of the opponent's statement?
[14:42] ---
    You said, "You're a bird,"
[14:45] ---
    so I, being human, declared it incorrect.
[14:48] ---
    Y-You little...
[14:50] ---
    How devious...
[14:52] ---
    That doesn't count!
[14:54] ---
    Doesn't count! Doesn't count!
[14:55] ---
    One more time! Do-over!
[14:57] ---
    One more rule! We have to hear
    the person's entire statement!
[15:01] ---
    Fine.
[15:03] ---
    We'll restart with you making
    the first guess, little lady.
[15:06] ---
    Okay.
[15:07] ---
    After this, I'm going to
    beat you with certain words.
[15:11] ---
    On the first turn.
[15:16] ---
    Please keep your promise.
[15:18] ---
    To leave this island.
[15:20] ---
    And to let me meet a fairy!
[15:24] ---
    What's with this girl, insisting
    she'll beat me on the first turn?
[15:28] ---
    And by the makeup of the game,
[15:30] ---
    the person making the guess
    can lose, but not win.
[15:36] ---
    If you make a correct guess,
    we switch and the game continues.
[15:40] ---
    But if you make an incorrect statement,
    you lose, little lady.
[15:44] ---
    Yes.
[15:45] ---
    You realize it's physically impossible for the
     person who guesses to win on the first turn?
[15:50] ---
    That hypothesis
[15:52] ---
    is an inference based on an accumulation
[15:54] ---
    of your knowledge and experience.
[15:56] ---
    The essence is simpler.
[16:00] ---
    Here I go.
[16:04] ---
    Magic words like that don't exist!
[16:08] ---
    You've blinked 57 times since the game began.
[16:14] ---
    Wh-What the hell is that?!
[16:16] ---
    Like I said, you've blinked
    57 times since the game began.
[16:21] ---
    How the hell would you know...
[16:26] ---
    S-She was counting?!
[16:29] ---
    That's ridiculous...
[16:30] ---
    No...
[16:32] ---
    That applies to both of us!
[16:34] ---
    You broke the rule!
[16:35] ---
    No.
[16:37] ---
    I haven't blinked once since the game began.
[16:41] ---
    It's starting to hurt a little.
[16:45] ---
    No way...
[16:47] ---
    Who is this brat?!
[16:49] ---
    Wait...
[16:50] ---
    If I calmly think this through,
    I have a 50-50 chance of winning.
[16:54] ---
    Is she right or not?
[16:59] ---
    No. If I answer without knowing the answer,
[17:03] ---
    then it automatically becomes a lie?!
[17:04] ---
    Then my answer is I can't answer
    whether it's correct or incorrect?!
[17:09] ---
    She could do that?!
[17:14] ---
    This is frustrating!
    This is totally frustrating...
[17:17] ---
    It feels like my eyes are going to explode!
[17:19] ---
    ...but this girl is incredible!
[17:25] ---
    Yuri, what are you doing
    screwing around here?
[17:28] ---
    Oh, this is a marvelous library.
[17:31] ---
    Now more people are here...
[17:33] ---
    Precht, Warrod...
[17:36] ---
    Our business on this island
    is done. We're going home.
[17:39] ---
    What?!
[17:40] ---
    What about the Tenrou Jade?
[17:41] ---
    I won't tell you where it is!
[17:43] ---
    We found the location.
[17:46] ---
    Then what was the point of that game?
[17:52] ---
    We found the location...
[17:55] ---
    ...but it's already been stolen.
[17:59] ---
    We were beaten to the punch.
[18:00] ---
    By either treasure hunters
    like us or thieves...
[18:05] ---
    For now, we'll return to the continent.
[18:08] ---
    Let's gather information again.
[18:10] ---
    It would be a shame to give up
    on that treasure now.
[18:13] ---
    I may know who stole the Tenrou Jade.
[18:18] ---
    What?
[18:19] ---
    Seven years ago, the wizard guild
    Blue Skull attacked this island.
[18:25] ---
    I think they probably stole it then.
[18:28] ---
    A wizard guild?
[18:30] ---
    That spells trouble.
[18:32] ---
    But we have to go.
[18:34] ---
    Your names are Yuri, Precht,
    and Warrod, right?
[18:38] ---
    I'm Mavis Vermillion.
[18:41] ---
    For the past seven years, I've been studying
    military tactics in order to fight wizards.
[18:45] ---
    I'm sure I would be useful.
[18:47] ---
    Hey, Mavis, what are you saying?
[18:50] ---
    Please take me with you.
[18:55] ---
    The Tenrou Jade is a symbol of this island,
[18:57] ---
    and we citizens of Tenrou
[18:59] ---
    have protected that jewel for generations.
[19:02] ---
    Please!
[19:03] ---
    I want to take back the jewel
    of Tenroujima with my own hands!
[19:08] ---
    Mavis...
[19:10] ---
    We're treasure hunters.
[19:12] ---
    Even if we get the Tenrou Jade, I can't
    guarantee we would return it to you.
[19:17] ---
    When that time comes,
    let's have another contest over it.
[19:21] ---
    Until then, we have the same goal.
[19:24] ---
    Besides, you promised I would meet a fairy.
[19:27] ---
    You haven't forgotten, have you?
[19:37] ---
    Does Yuri really intend
    to take that girl with us?
[19:42] ---
    She does seem like a clever girl.
[19:44] ---
    She could actually be useful to us.
[19:48] ---
    Mavis, eh?
[19:50] ---
    She lives alone on this island.
[19:54] ---
    I'm suspicious.
[20:00] ---
    What are you really after?
[20:03] ---
    I want to get the Tenrou Jade back.
[20:06] ---
    You didn't even realize it
    was gone for seven years.
[20:09] ---
    Is it really that important to you?
[20:11] ---
    To us, it's an S class treasure.
[20:14] ---
    Of course it's important!
[20:15] ---
    I just didn't notice.
[20:18] ---
    Besides, I think this would be a good
    opportunity to see the outside world.
[20:22] ---
    Zera and me both.
[20:24] ---
    Zera?
[20:26] ---
    Why don't you introduce yourself, Zera?
[20:30] ---
    Come on!
[20:32] ---
    All right, fine.
[20:34] ---
    She's really shy around strangers.
[20:36] ---
    Who are you, my parent?
[20:41] ---
    You get ready to go too, Zera.
[20:43] ---
    Wait... I'm going, too?!
[20:45] ---
    Forget it! I don't want to travel
    with an old man I don't even know!
[20:48] ---
    Uh... listen...
[20:51] ---
    This is important to both of us,
[20:53] ---
    Zera!
[20:55] ---
    Important how?
[20:56] ---
    If we just stay on this island forever,
    we'll never get to see anything.
[21:00] ---
    Muster up courage,
     because we're going to see the world!
[21:08] ---
    N-Nice to meet you...
[21:11] ---
    It's officially nice to meet you, too.
[21:15] ---
    Um... about how old is Zera?
[21:19] ---
    Do you usually ask someone's age
    the first time you meet them?
[21:21] ---
    She's the same age as me.
[21:23] ---
    And I didn't give you permission
    to release my personal information!
[21:26] ---
    I see...
[21:29] ---
    Nice to meet you, Zera.
[21:33] ---
    I bet we're going to have a great time!
[21:55] ---
    It'll be okay.
[21:57] ---
    Yeah.
[21:58] ---
    This is the beginning of an adventure!
[22:03] ---
    This strange girl has
    captivated me with her charm.
[22:08] ---
    But...
[22:10] ---
    ...when I think that if I'd refused
    to let her come on the journey,
[22:14] ---
    that would never have happened,
[22:17] ---
    my heart aches.
[23:56] ---
    Mavis was born and raised on Tenroujima,
    and now she's leaving it.
[23:59] ---
    The ship she's on carries her across the sea.
[24:02] ---
    She'd only read about the
    denizens of the sea in books,
[24:05] ---
    but now she meets them face to face.
[24:07] ---
    Mavis is deeply moved by the new experiences.
[24:10] ---
    During the voyage, she learns
    of her companions' misgivings
[24:15] ---
    and takes certain actions for their sakes.
[24:18] ---
    Next time: Treasure Hunt.
SIGN    Treasure Hunt
[24:21] ---
    Adventure lies in the sea.
