[00:01] Neema
    Don't hurt him!
[00:05] Teacher dressed as a knight
    A child?
[00:07] Teacher dressed as a mage
    What's going on?
[00:08] Neema
    Okay, this should—
[00:10] Sol
    This is no place for children.
[00:16] Neema
    He talks?
[00:17] Neema
    Must be one of those traditional
    long-lived dragons!
[00:19] Neema
    Maybe I can reason with him!
[00:22] Neema
    You can't hurt them either,
    Mister Fire Dwagon!
[00:24] Sol
    They forcibly summon me here,
[00:26] Sol
    then approach me with unjust malice.
[00:28] Sol
    I cannot brook this.
[00:30] Neema
    But it hurts real bad when you fight.
[00:32] Neema
    Even with your tough scales,
    if you're doused with powerful water magic...
[00:36] Neema
    Wait, scales? I wonder what they feel like...
[00:40] Neema
    I wanna give you pats.
[00:43] Sol
    You wish to touch me?
[00:46] Neema
    Oh, yeah! I wanna give you pats!
[00:49] Sol
    You do not fear me?
[00:51] Neema
    Nuh-uh!
[00:53] Sol
    What a strange child.
[00:58] Teacher dressed as a knight
    The fire dragon!
[00:59] Teacher dressed as a mage
    Prepare to attack!
[01:01] Wilhelt
    Halt!
[01:13] Neema
    Pat, pat!
[01:15] Neema
    Doesn't that feel nice?
[01:28] Sign
    Fluffy Paradise
[02:50] Sign
    Episode 2 I've Been Summoned
[02:53] Wilhelt
    I don't believe it...
[02:55] Neema
    I thought he might feel hot,
    but he's so cool and smooth!
[02:59] Sol
    Should you get older and ever need me,
[03:03] Sol
    I shall acknowledge you as my master.
[03:08] Neema
    No! Don't go bye-bye!
[03:10] Sol
    Then I will grant you this.
[03:17] Neema
    What is it?
[03:19] Sol
    An orb. It connects us.
[03:23] Sol
    Keep it with you at all times.
[03:26] Sol
    If you so desire, it shall change form.
[03:34] Neema
    How am I going to carry
    this around all the time?
[03:38] Neema
    Hmm...
[03:40] Neema
    I know!
[03:48] Neema
    There! That's nice!
[03:51] Sol
    You're rather peculiar.
[03:55] Sol
    That orb connects the two of us mentally.
[04:01] Sol
    You may use my magic through it,
[04:05] Sol
    so it will help when you're in danger.
[04:08] Neema
    Thank you!
[04:10] Neema
    What's your name, Mister Fire Dwagon?
[04:13] Sol
    You may call me Sol.
[04:16] Neema
    I'm Neema! And...
[04:18] Neema
    It's nice to meet you, Sol!
[04:22] Sol
    Farewell.
[04:34] Dayland
    Neema!
[04:35] Karna
    Are you hurt?!
[04:38] Neema
    Nope! I'm fine!
[04:39] Neema
    C-Can't bweathe...
[04:41] Karna
    Oh, I was so worried!
[04:44] Karna
    Neema!
[04:45] Wilhelt
    Honestly, you're so...
[04:48] Neema
    This again?!
[04:50] Wilhelt
    Well, I'm glad you're safe.
[04:53] Neema
    Maybe the Brute Prince was worried
    about me in his own weird way.
[04:57] Wilhelt
    Duke Osphe, have the court mages
    look into this matter.
[05:02] Dayland
    Yes, Your Highness.
[05:03] Wilhelt
    And...
[05:05] Wilhelt
    I'm sure the palace will want her.
[05:07] Wilhelt
    I trust you to find a solution.
[05:11] Dayland
    To even think of those power-hungry fiends
[05:13] Dayland
    setting their greedy eyes
     on my precious Neema...
[05:16] Dayland
    Hmm, maybe I'll just kill them all.
[05:19] Neema
    Is it just me...
    or has this turned into a huge ordeal?
[05:37] Imperial Guard
    Presenting the prime minister,
    Duke Dayland Osphe!
[05:40] Imperial Guard
    And the head of the Royal Magic Research
    Center's Engineering Department,
[05:44] Imperial Guard
    Duchess Cerulia Osphe!
[05:46] Imperial Guard
    They have arrived along with their
    youngest daughter, Lady Nefertima!
[05:54] Neema
    There are so many important-looking people!
[05:57] Gauldi
    I'm sorry for summoning you like this.
[06:00] Gauldi
    I'd like to discuss the events at the academy
    concerning the fire dragon.
[06:04] Gauldi
    I was informed that Nefertima
    formed a pact with the beast.
[06:08] Gauldi
    Is this true?
[06:09] Neema
    I guess we're not beating around the bush!
[06:14] Dayland
    It is not a formal pact.
[06:16] Gauldi
    But your daughter is able to use the
    fire dragon's powers, is she not?
[06:21] Dayland
    Yes, I'm sure that he will aid her
     if she so desires it.
[06:24] Dayland
    But she did not receive
     the holy beast's blessing.
[06:28] Neema
    The holy beast's blessing? What's that?
[06:31] Gauldi
    So she will not use the fire dragon's
    powers to threaten our kingdom?
[06:36] Dayland
    She will not. I, Dayland Osphe,
    swear it upon my name.
[06:41] Neema
    A True Name Vow?!
[06:43] Neema
    If he breaks that, he'll die.
[06:45] Neema
    It's the strongest oath you can swear here.
[06:47] Gauldi
    I believe you. Now, have we figured out
    the cause of what happened?
[06:51] Salzar
    Allow me to explain.
[06:53] Sign
    Royal Magical Research Center
    Director Salzar
[06:54] Salzar
    There are no doubts
     about the summoning circle used.
[06:58] Salzar
    There were protections in place in case
    the spellcaster said the wrong incantation.
[07:02] Salzar
    Therefore, the dragon would not
    have appeared with an incorrect chant.
[07:06] Gauldi
    So the spellcaster was not at fault.
[07:09] Salzar
    Indeed.
[07:10] Gauldi
    Then how do you explain
    the dragon's appearance?
[07:14] Salzar
    Perhaps it was a supernatural force...
[07:16] Salzar
    Perhaps it was the will of God.
[07:19] All
    God?!
[07:21] Neema
    That guy again*?!
[07:23] Neema
    He totally would!
[07:23] Neema
    Probably to make me interact with the*
    beings of this world or something!
[07:28] Dayland
    I see...
[07:29] Gauldi
    What say you, High Priest?
[07:32] High Priest
    Sire.
[07:34] High Priest
    I believe it was the will
    of the God of Divine Creation.
[07:34] Sign
    Church of Divine Creation
     Gaché Kingdom's High Priest
[07:39] High Priest
    Holy beasts are present in our land
[07:41] High Priest
    because he expects great
    things of you, Your Majesty.
[07:45] High Priest
    It is his hope you will usher in
     an era of tranquility
[07:48] High Priest
    in which we humans rule supreme.
[07:52] Neema
    Aha... Are these guys part of what
    God was talking about?
[07:57] Neema
    Is this the typical pattern where
    they brainwash people
[08:00] Neema
    with a "divine" message
    while butting into politics?
[08:04] Neema
    Still, I shouldn't be so quick to judge.
[08:07] Neema
    I'm sure I'll have until I die to decide.
[08:11] Neema
    And my top priority is wellness
    fueled by all the fluffy things!
[08:17] Wilhelt
    Bored already?
[08:19] Neema
    Was he watching me this whole time?
[08:21] Neema
    And he has the nerve to mock me?!
    Curse you, Brute Prince!
[08:25] Wilhelt
    If you're bored, would you like
     to go play with Lars?
[08:28] Gauldi
    Yes, this must be a rather difficult
    conversation for Nefertima to follow.
[08:32] Gauldi
    Go ahead and play.
[08:34] Neema
    Yay!
[08:35] Wilhelt
    Lars.
[08:40] Neema
    Now it's time to floof
    and pat Lars all I want!
[08:49] Neema
    So... So cute!
[08:51] Neema
    Lars!
[09:00] Neema
    We can play here?
[09:03] Neema
    Are these slabs of meat for Lars?
[09:13] Neema
    Lars, say, "Aah..."
[09:23] Neema
    He totally just looks like
    any ol' kitty right now!
[09:26] Senior Statesman 1
    Did she just feed it barehanded?!
[09:29] Neema
    Oh?
[09:30] Maid
    Lady Nefertima, here you go.
[09:33] Neema
    Thanks!
[09:36] Maid
    I-I'm not worthy, my lady!
[09:40] Neema
    I wonder what that was about.
[09:42] Neema
    Well, whatever.
[09:44] Neema
    I'm gonna enjoy all the floofing
    time I can right now!
[09:49] Neema
    That tickles!
[10:03] Dayland
    Oh, Neema... How can you be
     so cute when you snooze?
[10:10] Dayland
    And yet...
[10:12] Senior Statesman 2
    She's fast asleep next to a sky tiger!
[10:13] Senior Statesman 3
    She really is no ordinary girl!
[10:15] Dayland
    Thank goodness Lars helped
    her fall fast asleep.
[10:18] Noble 1
    The fire dragon will bring
    great fortune to our land!
[10:21] Senior Statesman 1
    Yes. Of course it'll help the people,
[10:23] Senior Statesman 1
    but also prove a great boon in battle.
[10:25] Senior Statesman 2
    We should definitely have
    her form a formal pact.
[10:29] Senior Statesman 3
    But then we'd have to keep
    Lady Nefertima under our supervision.
[10:34] Dayland
    I hope she never hears
    such selfish blathering.
[10:39] Dayland
    Now then... How are we going
    to get out of this situation?
[10:42] Olive
    Is Neema all right?
[10:44] Sign
    Minister of Internal Affairs
     Olive Wise
[10:44] Olive
    Has not having magical powers
    affected her physically?
[10:47] Dayland
    Not yet.
[10:49] Olive
    I wonder if the sky tiger's attachment to her
    is also because of the dragon.
[10:54] Gouche
    Perhaps we should assign Neema
     a personal guard.
[10:57] Sign
    Head of the Royal Knighthood and Royal Guard
    General Gouche Zelnan
[10:57] Gouche
    There's a chance her life may be in danger.
[11:00] Gouche
    Let me know if I may be of assistance.
[11:03] Dayland
    A most reassuring offer.
    There's just so much we don't know yet.
[11:07] Dayland
    I'd be much obliged for your help, General.
[11:11] Dayland
    That's the descendants of the founding heroes for you.
[11:13] High Priest
    Duke Osphe.
[11:15] High Priest
    I would be honored if you let the Church
[11:17] High Priest
    look after your precious daughter...
[11:20] High Priest
    We have experience educating
    holy maidens, after all.
[11:26] Dayland
    Oh, no. That wouldn't suit our Neema...
[11:29] Dayland
    Or rather,
[11:30] Dayland
    the Church of Divine Creation's
    so-called "education" is just indoctrination.
[11:35] Dayland
    What gives you the right to call girls
    forced into playing puppets "holy maidens"?
[11:39] High Priest
    If you leave Lady Nefertima in our hands,
[11:42] High Priest
    I promise you she will grow
    into a fine holy maiden.
[11:48] Dayland
    I do beg your pardon,
[11:49] Dayland
    but she's so loved by all creatures
    because she is innocent and carefree.
[11:55] Dayland
    If we give her to you
     and she becomes no more than a doll,
[11:59] Dayland
    I highly doubt the fire dragon and
    His Highness's holy beast would approve.
[12:04] High Priest
    A doll...? I won't stand for such insult.
[12:10] High Priest
    A-And I beg your pardon, but is Lady
    Nefertima even your daughter?
[12:15] Dayland
    Why— And what do you mean by that?
[12:18] High Priest
    Oh, nothing.
     I just thought I'd heard otherwise.
[12:23] High Priest
    Still, I must say...
[12:26] High Priest
    She doesn't bear much of a resemblance
    to your other two children.
[12:31] Cerulia
    Gracious.
[12:32] Cerulia
    My husband and I have exchanged
    the True Name Vow.
[12:36] Cerulia
    If broken, we'd face divine wrath
[12:39] Cerulia
    and bear the mark of the fallen our foreheads.
[12:41] Cerulia
    Good sir, do you see it on mine?
[12:44] High Priest
    Well, it's well known how much
    the duke fancies you, my lady...
[12:48] High Priest
    But perhaps only Duke Osphe
    took the True Name Vow.
[12:52] Cerulia
    His Majesty was present when
    we exchanged our vows.
[12:56] Cerulia
    You'd cast doubt upon the king, too?
[13:01] Noble
    But truly, if we are to think
    of Lady Nefertima's future,
[13:05] Noble
    I agree with the High Priest.
[13:06] Dayland
    In the end,
[13:07] Dayland
    with the help of my wife, her mentor, Salzar,
    and her fellow mentee, the king,
[13:12] Dayland
    we were able to shut down
    those who opposed us.
[13:31] Neema
    Lars?
[13:33] Dayland
    The meeting is over.
[13:35] Neema
    Papa, Mama...
[13:37] Dayland
    No one's in trouble.
[13:39] Neema
    Really? So no one's gonna yell at me?
    Nothing scawy will happen?
[13:42] Cerulia
    That's right. Because your power
    appears to be the will of God.
[13:47] Gauldi
    Nefertima.
[13:49] Neema
    Mister King!
[13:51] Gauldi
    From now on, you may go anywhere
    you'd like in the palace,
[13:54] Gauldi
    though you'll need supervision
     in certain areas.
[13:57] Neema
    Really?!
[13:58] Gauldi
    Yes. You like animals, don't you?
[14:01] Neema
    Yes!
[14:02] Wilhelt
    There are plenty of animals
     you're bound to like in the palace.
[14:06] Neema
    Huh?
[14:08] Wilhelt
    For example...
[14:14] Wilhelt
    Why don't you calm down a bit?
[14:16] Neema
    Huh?! B-But...
[14:20] Wilhelt
    They're here. You may enter.
[14:23] Gwynn
    Gwynn Fields of the second
    brigade of the royal guard...
[14:28] Gwynn
    At your service.
[14:31] Neema
    Wow, he's so pretty!
[14:34] Wilhelt
    At ease. This is Duke Osphe's
     daughter, Nefertima.
[14:39] Gwynn
    Pleased to meet you, my lady.
[14:43] Neema
    I'm Dayland Osphe's second daughter, Nefertima.
[14:47] Neema
    I saw you before in the throne room!
[14:51] Wilhelt
    Neema, if anything ever happens
     in the palace, you can rely on Gwynn.
[14:56] Neema
    Okay!
[14:56] Neema
    Nice to meet you, Gwynn!
[14:59] Gwynn
    The pleasure is all mine.
[15:01] Wilhelt
    I have a favor to ask today.
[15:04] Wilhelt
    Take Neema to the dragon stables.
[15:07] Gwynn
    Par... don?
[15:15] Gwynn
    Why must I do this?
[15:17] Gwynn
    And why take her to the stables where he is?
[15:21] Neema
    You're thinking out loud there, dude.
[15:24] Neema
    Though I'm sure the last thing
    a brigade leader wants to do is babysit.
[15:29] Neema
    But more importantly,
[15:30] Neema
    today, I want to give some actual fantasy
    world dragons all of the head pats!
[15:34] Neema
    And for that, I need you
    to tag along with me...
[15:38] Dan
    Oh, there you are.
[15:41] Dan
    His Highness filled me in.
[15:43] Dan
    Is this the little lady who wants
    to see the stables?
[15:50] Neema
    He actually stooped down to make
    eye contact with a child.
[15:52] Neema
    That's really rare in this world.
    He must be a nice guy!
[15:55] Neema
    I'm Dayland Osphe's second daughter, Nefertima.
[15:59] Dan
    Look at you! So prim at your age.
[16:03] Dan
    Nice to meet ya! I'm the captain
    of the dragon knights, Dan Yates!
[16:06] Dan
    Good to have you.
[16:07] Gwynn
    My, I see you never change.
[16:10] Dan
    Huh?
[16:11] Gwynn
    At the palace,
[16:12] Gwynn
    you could run into a superior anytime.
[16:14] Gwynn
    You should dress accordingly.
[16:16] Dan
    When you're tending to dragons,
    you need to prioritize mobility.
[16:23] Neema
    Wh-What the...?
[16:25] Squad Member 1
    There they go again.
[16:27] Squad Member 2
    They were in the same class
    at the royal academy.
[16:31] Squad Member 3
    They've apparently been competing
    with each other ever since.
[16:34] Gwynn
    You sure that's not just
    an excuse to play around?
[16:37] Dan
    Playing around with dragons is my job.
[16:39] Dan
    You can't even ride them
    if they don't like you.
[16:41] Dan
    You know that!
[16:43] Gwynn
    Well, if you're working,
    then clean up properly.
[16:46] Gwynn
    It always reeks of animal stench here.
[16:48] Dan
    What'd you say?
[16:49] Neema
    Oh, come on! What am I even here for?!
[16:53] Neema
    Hey, hey! Can I see the dwagons now?
[16:57] Dan
    Oh, yes. Sorry about that. Right this way.
[17:02] Dan
    You can only look though, okay?
[17:03] Dan
    Stick your hand out and they'll eat ya.
[17:05] Neema
    Okay!
[17:22] Dan
    The smaller flying dragons are lindblooms.
[17:24] Dan
    And those without wings are a subspecies
     of earth dragon called lindrakes.
[17:29] Dan
    We're currently in the grasslands,
[17:31] Dan
    but we also have desert,
    forest, and lake areas.
[17:34] Neema
    Wow! This place is so big!
[17:36] Dan
    It's all maintained with magic,
[17:38] Dan
    so the deserts are actually hot,
    and the forests are cool.
[17:41] Neema
    They don't run away?
[17:43] Dan
    They're bound by their true names,
    so there's no need to worry.
[17:48] Neema
    They're so cute.
[17:52] Dan
    Right?
[17:54] Neema
    Dan must really love dragons.
[17:59] Neema
    I wanna give them head pats...
[18:01] Neema
    But he'll probably say no if I ask.
[18:04] Neema
    I wonder how I can touch them...
[18:07] Neema
    Mmgh...
[18:23] Dan
    This way!
[18:32] Dan
    No! They're gonna get her!
[18:35] Dan
    Lady Nefertima!
[18:39] Neema
    Your name is Ghizel?
[18:42] Neema
    My name is Neema.
[18:45] Neema
    Yup. I have Sol's orb.
[18:48] Neema
    Ghizel, can I give you head pats?
[18:55] Neema
    Mister Dan, can I play with them?
[18:59] Dan
    S-Sure...
[19:00] Neema
    Yay!
[19:09] Neema
    Okay!
[19:14] Neema
    See you later!
[19:19] Neema
    Wow! This feels great!
[19:23] Ghizel
    Human child.
[19:25] Ghizel
    I sense the fire dragon's presence in you,
[19:28] Ghizel
    yet you have no pact with him, do you?
[19:30] Neema
    Nuh-uh. Guess not.
[19:32] Neema
    I heard Sol's voice from the orb earlier.
[19:35] Neema
    He said that if I have the orb,
    I can talk to all the dragons.
[19:39] Ghizel
    Yes. Our pack shall welcome
    you as a dragon maiden.
[19:57] Lindrake child 1
    Yummy!
[19:59] Neema
    H-Hey!
[20:01] Neema
    Come back here!
[20:03] Lindrake child 2
    Wait, are we playing tag?
[20:05] Lindrake child 3
    I wanna play, too!
[20:15] Neema
    This feels so nice.
[20:22] Neema
    Take that!
[20:32] Neema
    Counterattack!
[20:40] Dan
    The one whose name Lady Nefertima guessed,
[20:42] Dan
    Ghizel, is that pack's leader.
[20:44] Dan
    He's extremely proud and won't
    let anyone onto his back.
[20:48] Dan
    So what the heck's going on? He was
    so calm around Lady Nefertima.
[20:52] Dan
    Man, I'm never gonna get over this!
[20:54] Gwynn
    You heard about the fire dragon, didn't you?
[20:57] Dan
    Yeah.
[20:58] Dan
    He was summoned during
     an exam at the academy, right?
[21:01] Dan
    I could see him flying back to
    the northern mountains from here.
[21:05] Dan
    I wish we could've been there, though!
[21:08] Dan
    I heard there was some girl who formed
    a pact with the fire dragon, too...
[21:11] Dan
    Wait. Didn't Lady Nefertima
    mention something about an orb?
[21:17] Dan
    It's a legendary magical item that allows
    you to communicate with dragons.
[21:20] Dan
    If she's in possession of an artifact
    that only primordial dragons can create...
[21:25] Gwynn
    Lady Nefertima is now said to be
     the fire dragon's master.
[21:29] Dan
    I knew it!
[21:31] Gwynn
    Except they haven't formed a formal pact.
[21:35] Dan
    Still, a little girl like her?
     I can't believe it.
[21:38] Gwynn
    I wasn't convinced myself, but...
[21:41] Neema
    I'm back!
[21:45] Gwynn
    Why is Sir Lars here?!
[21:49] Neema
    He came to pick me up!
[21:51] Dan
    She commands His Highness's holy beast
     as well as the lindblooms and lindrakes...
[21:56] Dan
    Just who is this little girl?
[21:59] Neema
    I got to give lots of head pats
    and floofings! It was so much fun!
