**[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.*

Episode 3 A Lovely Gift
**[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.

Remember to study.
**[21:24] Neema**
Thank you very much, everyone!
**[21:27] Neema**
This was the best birthday ever!
**[21:36] Neema**
*Today was so much fun.*
**[21:38] Neema**
*So many people came to celebrate my birthday.*
**[21:41] Rain Hawk**
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**
From now on, you're Nox.
**[21:55] Nox**
Cheep!
**[21:56] Neema**
Let's be great fwiends, Nox!
