[00:00] Neema
    Today, we've come to the beast knight
    stables, which have lots of rare animals!
    
[00:05] Neema
    The captain of the Beast Knights Legion
    is supposed to take us around.
[00:09] Neema
    I wonder what he's like!
[00:12] Dan
    Hey, looks like he's already here.
[00:19] Les
    It's a pleasure to meet you, my lady.
[00:21] Les
    I am the captain of a special squad
    called the Beast Knights Legion.
[00:25] Les
    My name is Lestin Ogma.
[00:27] Les
    Please, call me Les.
[00:30] Neema
    Oh, he seems nice and pleasant.
[00:33] Neema
    I'm Nefertima Osphe.
[00:35] Neema
    Pweased to meet you, Mister Les.
[00:37] Les
    The pleasure is all mine.
[00:42] Les
    So this is Lady Nefertima,
    who I keep hearing about.
[00:45] Les
    She's so ordinary.
[00:46] Neema
    I can walk all by myself!
[00:48] Dan
    Well, you're gonna wander off!
[00:50] Neema
    Nuh-uh!
[00:52] Dan
    Yes, you will.
[00:52] Les
    She hardly seems as special as Dan described.
[00:53] Neema
    Nuh-uh!
[00:54] Dan
    Come on, now.
[00:55] Neema
    I won't!
[00:59] (Flashback) Dan
    Can you believe it? A dragon...
[01:02] (Flashback) Dan
    Ghizel, their leader, no less,
    let her ride on his back.
[01:06] (Flashback) Dan
    He doesn't even let me do that.
[01:09] Les
    Dan loves dragons so much that he left
    the Beast Knights for the Dragon Knights
[01:14] Les
    and even became their captain.
    Yet he's jealous of her?
[01:20] Les
    I see we have a little charmer on our hands.
[01:23] Les
    Very well. I shall accept this challenge.

[02:59] Les
    Now then...
[03:00] Les
    Welcome to the beast stables.
[03:02] Neema
    It's so big!
[03:04] Neema
    It's like a safari park!
[03:06] Dan
    This place is also maintained by magic
    so the animals can live their best lives.
[03:13] Neema
    Mister horsey!
[03:16] Les
    While we're at it, why don't we
    take a look around from horseback?
[03:21] Neema
    Can we really?!
[03:29] Neema
    Oh my gosh! He's so cool!
[03:32] Neema
    His mane is so silky smooth!
    He's so valiant yet elegant!
[03:37] Les
    This is Uwaz, the leader of the herd.
[03:41] Neema
    Yeah, he's definitely giving
    off that boss aura.
[03:45] Neema
    I'm Neema! It's a pweasure
    to meet you, Uwaz!
[03:50] Neema
    Wh-What was that just now?
[03:52] Neema
    Did he just snort at me?
[03:55] Neema
    Well, if that's how it's gonna be...
[03:58] Neema
    Uwaz! Let's play! Uwaz! Uwaz!
[04:03] Neema
    Okay... not really the friendly type.
[04:06] Les
    I do apologize, Lady Nefertima.
[04:09] Les
    Uwaz can be a bit selfish...
[04:14] Neema
    Huh?
[04:15] Neema
    H-Huh? What just... What's the matter?
[04:21] Neema
    Ah, okay. I see what's happening here.
[04:32] Neema
    That's not twue, Mister Les.
[04:34] Neema
    Uwaz isn't selfish.
[04:37] Les
    What?
[04:38] Neema
    He's the leader of the herd,
[04:40] Neema
    so he doesn't like anyone he
    doesn't know getting close.
[04:43] Neema
    Right, Uwaz?
[04:45] Les
    Then... he acts like that on purpose
[04:48] Les
    so humans don't go near the herd?
[04:50] Dan
    Horses do that?
[04:52] Neema
    Well, Uwaz is a really smart boy.
[05:02] Les
    Is that so, Uwaz? I'm sorry
    I didn't realize it sooner.
[05:17] Les
    I see you two mounted up okay.
[05:19] Les
    That horse's name is Hugh.
[05:20] Les
    He's very docile and will go
     wherever you lead him,
[05:23] Les
    so he's perfect for inexperienced riders.
[05:27] Neema
    I wonder if this is the kind of white horse
    fairy tale princes ride!
[05:34] Neema
    He'd be perfect for my brother.
[05:36] Les
    All right, let's go.
[05:38] Les
    The beast stables are quite large.
[05:51] Neema
    What are they doing?
[05:53] Dan
    That's a giant boar.
[05:55] Les
    They're looking for bugs to eat underground.
[05:59] Neema
    Ah, so it's lunchtime.
[06:07] Neema
    Wha...
[06:08] Neema
    What the?!
[06:10] Les
    Er, looks like they've spotted us...
[06:13] Les
    Baby giant boars want someone to play with,
    so they'll charge at you.
[06:17] Les
    A number of beast knights
    get injured every year.
[06:20] Neema
    What?! Really?!
[06:22] Neema
    Help me!
[06:40] Les
    You saved us, Uwaz.
[06:42] Neema
    Thank you, Uwaz!
[06:53] Les
    Over there, you can see a flock of wakkas.
[06:56] Les
    They are the fastest animals on land.
[06:59] Les
    Here, we use them as messengers
     and in emergencies.
[07:02] Neema
    The fastest animals on land?
[07:04] Neema
    I wanna ride one!
[07:06] Dan
    Saw that coming...
[07:07] Les
    I'm afraid you need a great deal of training
    to handle the wakkas' speed.
[07:12] Neema
    Wanna ride! I wanna ride one!
[07:14] Les
    Very well, then.
[07:17] Les
    If we're both going to ride one,
[07:18] Les
    let's go with Yoshu here.
     He's quite energetic.
[07:23] Les
    Does your safety rope feel too tight?
[07:25] Les
    When you hold on to Yoshu,
    lean forward and hug him.
[07:30] Neema
    Can't... reach...
[07:32] Les
    A little lower.
[07:34] Neema
    So smooth! That feels nice!
[07:37] Les
    If you grab too hard, he'll stop,
     so please be careful.
[07:41] Neema
    Yay! I'm so excited now!
[07:43] Neema
    I wonder how fast he'll go!
[07:46] Les
    He's very, very fast.
[07:48] Neema
    Mister Yoshu, pwease go as fast as you can!
[07:51] Les
    I really mean it when I say he's fast.
[07:54] Les
    I can't believe she's not
    scared in the slightest.
[07:56] Les
    All right, here we go.
[08:05] Neema
    What's with this speed?!
[08:07] Neema
    It really hurts! I can't breathe!
[08:17] Les
    Block the wind flow and make it fade.
[08:23] Neema
    Huh? The wind's gone?
[08:27] Les
    I'm terribly sorry.
[08:28] Les
    I accidentally forgot to cast the spell.
[08:32] Neema
    Are you sure it was an accident?!
[08:35] Les
    Please hold on.
[08:36] Neema
    Huh?
[08:37] Les
    We're going to speed up a bit.
[08:52] Neema
    I weally wespect people who wide wakkas...
[08:56] Les
    That was about 50 percent of its top speed.
[09:04] Dan
    You good? You can barely walk.
[09:08] Neema
    It's not that funny!
[09:26] Neema
    Wow!
[09:28] Dan
    That's a gleyhawk.
    We use them to exchange letters.
[09:33] Neema
    No fair...
[09:34] Neema
    I want one on my arm, too. But I guess
    it's out of the question in this body.
[09:42] Les
    Ah...
[09:47] Les
    Wha—
[09:48] Les
    I'm terribly sorry. One of my subordinates
    has caused some trouble.
[09:51] Les
    I must get back immediately.
[09:53] Dan
    Got it. Guess we'll call it a day, then.
[09:56] Neema
    Aw... Can we come back and play really soon?
[10:00] Les
    Yes. If I'm free,
    I'll be happy to show you around.
[10:05] Neema
    When the captain's free, huh?
[10:08] Neema
    Well, so much for today.
[10:10] Neema
    Mister Dan, let's go see Ghizel!
[10:12] Dan
    Right now?!
[10:16] Les
    What do you mean a white moose escaped?
[10:21] Les
    Of course it had to be a rare breed...
[10:24] Beast Knight
    I'm terribly sorry, sir!
[10:26] Les
    We're going to form a plan immediately.
[10:28] Les
    We will track it down with hounds and then,
     before it can put its guard up,
[10:33] Les
    we're going to capture it together.
[10:35] Beast Knights
    Yes, sir!
[10:38] Les
    Honestly, what were they even thinking?
[10:43] Les
    Today's been one unpleasant
    thing after another.
[10:47] Les
    Of course, that includes the moose escaping,
[10:50] Les
    but also Uwaz taking a liking
    to Lady Nefertima...
[10:54] Les
    and then Yoshu obediently obeying orders.
[11:00] Les
    Anyway, right now, the white
    moose takes precedence.
[11:08] Les
    Seriously...
[11:09] Les
    How in the world did this happen?!
[11:12] Neema
    Lessee... I was twying to get back from
    visiting Ghizel, and she seemed lost.
[11:18] Les
    So you found her, Lady Nefertima?
[11:21] Neema
    Nuh-uh. The elemental spiwits noticed
    she was lost and protected her.
[11:25] Neema
    Then Lars told me, so we went and found her.
[11:30] Les
    To think she'd also find the white moose...
[11:33] Les
    I underestimated Lady Nefertima.
[11:37] Les
    From now on, if something like this happens
    again, could you contact us first?
[11:43] Neema
    Okay!
[11:44] Les
    The power to be loved by
    any kind of animal...
[11:47] Les
    I never thought such a thing existed,
[11:51] Les
    yet I have no choice but to accept it now.
[11:53] Les
    I'm rather jealous.
[11:55] Neema
    So warm!
[11:55] Les
    I'd love that power myself,
    as I also adore animals.
[12:05] Cerulia
    Neema, happy birthday.
[12:07] Neema
    Thank you very much!
[12:09] Dayland
    To celebrate your birthday,
    we'll grant you one wish.
[12:12] Dayland
    What would you like?
[12:13] Neema
    Hmm...
[12:16] Neema
    I wanna go to the city!
[12:17] Dayland
    Wha— N-No, absolutely not! It's dangerous!
[12:21] Cerulia
    Dear, she'll be fine as long as
     she's with someone.
[12:24] Neema
    I'll go with Karna!
[12:25] Dayland
    You girls going alone is just as bad!
[12:28] Cerulia
    Then we'll just send Paul with them.
[12:32] Dayland
    S-So be it. I suppose I can accept that.
[12:35] Neema
    Yay!
[12:37] Cerulia
    Isn't that great, honey?
     Now let's get you ready for your outing.
[12:42] Neema
    Okay!
[12:43] Neema
    Hooray! My first shopping trip!
[12:51] Neema
    Wow! It's so lively here.
[12:53] Karna
    Well, this is the commercial district.
[12:56] Karna
    The royal capital is split
    into four distinct areas.
[12:58] Sign
    Palace
[12:59] Sign
    Noble District
[12:59] Sign
    Palace
[13:00] Sign
    Noble District
[13:00] Sign
    Commercial District
[13:01] Sign
    Industrial District
    (Workshops & Schools)
[13:01] Neema
    Ah, it almost looks like a baumkuchen!
[13:02] Sign
    Commercial District
[13:02] Sign
    Noble District
[13:02] Sign
    Common District
[13:05] Karna
    Apparently, the first king wanted the city
    to look beautiful even from the sky.
[13:11] Karna
    I'm so happy that I get to go
    shopping with you, Neema!
[13:15] Karna
    So let's get to it!
[13:17] Neema
    W-Wait for me!
[13:24] Shopkeeper
    Step right up!
[13:26] Neema
    It's like a street festival!
[13:27] Neema
    It looks so fun!
[13:33] Neema
    Hey, hey! Can you teach me how to use money?
[13:36] Karna
    Sure.
[13:39] Karna
    The smallest unit of currency is a rye.
[13:41] Karna
    Ten ryes are equal to one copper ingot.
[13:44] Karna
    The drinks at that stall cost eight ryes.
[13:48] Karna
    Enjoying drinks at a café will probably
    cost you around three copper ingots.
[13:53] Neema
    I see...
[13:54] Neema
    Okay, I think I got it down. Time to shop!
[13:59] Neema
    I'd like three, pwease.
[14:01] Turkey shop owner
    Oh? You've got good taste, little lady!
[14:04] Turkey shop owner
    We've got the world's most
    delicious turkey here.
[14:07] Neema
    Yeah, this is it!
[14:09] Turkey shop owner
    Three legs will be three copper ingots.
[14:12] Neema
    One... two... three.
[14:16] Neema
    Here!
[14:17] Turkey shop owner
    Be careful. They're hot.
[14:19] Neema
    Okay!
[14:21] Neema
    My first shopping trip was a success!
[14:25] Neema
    Karna!
[14:27] Neema
    Here you go!
[14:30] Karna
    Thanks.
[14:31] Neema
    You too, Paul!
[14:33] Paul
    What? But I'm on the clock...
[14:35] Neema
    I'm trying to bribe you
    into holding my stuff.
[14:40] Paul
    Thank you very much.
[14:41] Neema
    Here, Dee.
[14:43] Neema
    Just for today, though.
    It's my birthday, so you get a special treat.
[14:49] Paul
    The bone can be dangerous, so allow me.
[14:52] Neema
    Thanks!
[14:54] Neema
    Hmm? I wonder what that is.
[14:56] Neema
    Now I smell something nice and sweet...
[15:05] Neema
    Wh-What's that?!
[15:07] Paul
    It's a confection called pepe.
[15:09] Paul
    When they fry the boiled dough,
     it puffs up like that.
[15:13] Neema
    I-I'mma go buy some!
[15:16] Neema
    I'd like three, pwease!
[15:18] Pepe shop owner
    My, what a cute little girl.
[15:20] Pepe shop owner
    Will three be enough?
[15:21] Pepe shop owner
    If you buy twenty,
    I'll throw in an extra three.
[15:25] Neema
    Twenty?! How many are you
    trying to get me to buy, lady?!
[15:28] Neema
    Oh, but...
[15:30] Neema
    Could you make it four, pwease?
[15:32] Pepe shop owner
    Sure thing.
[15:34] Neema
    I wanna give one to Dee, too!
[15:37] Pepe shop owner
    Oh my. You two must be close.
[15:40] Pepe shop owner
    All right. For twenty and four,
    that'll be one copper coin.
[15:44] Neema
    So cheap!
[15:46] Neema
    Heave-ho, heave-ho...
[15:48] Karna
    Neema! Neema!
[15:50] Karna
    What are you going to do with all of that?
[15:53] Neema
    Well, I bought some for Mama and Papa
     and everyone at home!
[16:01] Karna
    You're... You're...
[16:05] Karna
    Such a sweet little girl!
[16:08] Karna
    Goodness! You're so adorable!
[16:10] Neema
    I can't bweathe...
[16:12] Paul
    L-Lady Karna...
[16:14] Paul
    You're going to crush both
    Lady Neema and the pepes.
[16:17] Karna
    O-Oh, sorry.
[16:23] Karna
    Neema, why don't we stop by this place?
[16:25] Karna
    I come here all the time. I just love it.
[16:30] Friend A
    My, Lady Karnadia.
    How do you do this fine day?
[16:34] Karna
    Ack...
[16:35] Neema
    Did she just say, "Ack"?
[16:37] Karna
    Good day to you.
[16:38] Friend A
    It's quite rare for us to bump
    into each other here.
[16:43] Karna
    I was just shopping with my sister.
[16:47] Friend A
    Ah, the one I keep hearing about.
[16:49] Neema
    Huh? She's heard of me?
[16:51] Friend A
    It must be hard having such
    a failure for a sister.
[16:54] Neema
    Wha—?!
[16:55] Friend A
    She has no magical power and
    doesn't even look like your parents.
[16:58] Friend A
    Not to mention those creepy black eyes...
[17:01] Friend A
    How could she possibly be a noble?
[17:09] Karna
    I see none of you can appreciate
     how wonderful my sister is.
[17:14] Karna
    Anyone who's clever can tell immediately.
[17:17] Friend A
    And what do you mean by that?!
[17:19] Karna
    I'm talking about the people who see
    just how incredible my little sister is.
[17:25] Karna
    Like, say...
[17:26] Karna
    The royal family.
[17:33] Karna
    Belittling someone you've just met
    is most unbecoming for a noblewoman.
[17:40] Karna
    I'd be sullying my good family's name
    to associate with someone like you.
[17:46] Karna
    Let's go home.
[17:49] Neema
    Okay, Karna!
[17:51] Karna
    Have a lovely day, ladies.
[18:01] Karna
    Neema, you must be tired.
[18:03] Neema
    I slept in the carriage, so I'm fine.
[18:05] Neema
    Man, that was so much fun.
[18:08] Neema
    Those people we ran into at the café
    were annoying, but my sister was so cool.
[18:13] Neema
    What a great birthday.
[18:19] Dayland and Ralf
    Happy birthday, Neema!
[18:23] Crowd
    Happy birthday! Happy birthday!
[18:28] Dayland
    We kept this a secret
    so we could surprise you.
[18:32] Neema
    Huh? Everyone's so busy...
[18:35] Neema
    But they all got together
    to prepare this for me?
[18:39] Gauldi
    Looks like it was a big success.
[18:41] Gauldi
    The adorable little princess
    is clearly surprised.
[18:47] Neema
    Fank you sho much...
[18:51] Gauldi
    Oh no. We made the little princess cry.
[18:54] Cerulia
    She just must be that happy.
[19:00] Will
    You sure do look ugly when you cry.
[19:02] Neema
    You shut up!
[19:06] Dayland
    All right, let's eat.
[19:10] Olive
    To Nefertima growing up healthy!
[19:13] All
    Cheers!
[19:18] Relena
    Neema, come here.
[19:22] Relena
    This is a gift from the king and myself.
[19:29] Relena
    It's a necklace with magical stones.
[19:31] Relena
    I've included some very powerful ones.
[19:34] Gauldi
    You need a certain spell to use this.
[19:38] Neema
    A spell?
[19:38] Gauldi
    The magical chant is "Help me, Uncle Gauldi!"
[19:43] Relena
    Goodness.
[19:44] Will
    What nonsense are you going on about, Father?
[19:51] Will
    Here. This is from me.
[19:53] Will
    Unlike the gift from my mother
     and father, it'll protect you.
[19:57] Will
    Make sure you always keep it on you.
[19:59] Neema
    So he's basically saying what
    they gave me is useless?
[20:04] Olive
    I got you clothes, a hat, and some shoes!
[20:07] Olive
    They've been altered so you can
    wear them when you're bigger.
[20:10] Gouche
    Here's a blade to protect you.
[20:12] Gwynn
    An encyclopedia of the animals in all regions.
[20:15] Gwynn
    From the imperial guard.
[20:17] Dan
    This is a hair clip made from the scales
    of dragons at the stables.
[20:21] Dan
    Neck scales, even. They're the hardest.
[20:24] Dan
    The dragons cooperated
     when I collected them, too.
[20:27] Neema
    Scales from the place
    they hate being touched the most?!
[20:32] Neema
    The next time I see them, I'm going
    to give them so many head pats!
[20:35] Les
    And this is from me.
[20:39] Les
    This little one is related to the
    gleyhawk. It's called a rain hawk.
[20:42] Les
    She's the cleverest and strongest
    that was born this earth season.
[20:49] Rain Hawk
    Cheep.
[20:49] Neema
    She's so fluffy!
[20:51] Neema
    I can keep her?
[20:53] Les
    We raised her to grow up indoors,
    and your parents gave their blessing.
[21:00] Les
    You were looking so intently
    at the gleyhawk the other day.
[21:05] Les
    Gleyhawks are far too big for you still,
    so please take care of this rain hawk instead.

    Cheep.
[21:43] Neema
    Oh, yeah. I haven't given you a name yet.
[21:46] Neema
    Hmm... What should I call you?
[21:48] Rain Hawk
    Cheep... Cheep?
[21:51] Neema
    Nox.
[21:53] Neema
