**[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.
