[00:04] TRAVELER2
    Stop.
[00:05] TRAVELER2
    Somebody's coming.
[00:10] TRAVELER1
    Are you serious, missy?
[00:12] TRAVELER1
    You must be crazy to travel alone.
[00:15] CELINA
    O-Oh, I'll be fine.
[00:17] CELINA
    I'm stronger than I look.
[00:20] CELINA
    Also, um, my greetings.
[00:22] CELINA
    I am a harmless little...
[00:26] TRAVELERS
    A-A lamia!
[00:29] CELINA
    Do you have to get that scared?
SIGN    A New Friend
[02:16] MAGURU
    Magical potions,
[02:18] MAGURU
    unlike regular medicine, is produced
    using magic-infused ingredients.
[02:24] MAGURU
    As such, they need extra caution to prepare.
[02:27] MAGURU
    In the worst case,
[02:28] MAGURU
    the tiniest mistake in measurement or
    magic infused can be life-threatening.
[02:35] MAGURU
    Dolan, you're not very dexterous, are you?
[02:40] DOLAN
    My apologies, master.
[02:43] AIRI
    D-Don't put yourself down, Dolan!
[02:47] AIRI
    You have a keen eye for medicinal herbs,
[02:50] AIRI
    you're very good with the kids...
[02:53] AIRI
    And you're handsome.
[02:56] MAGURU
    Oh, my.
[02:59] DOLAN
    Thanks, Airi.
[03:00] DOLAN
    But it's true that I find it hard
    to follow complicated recipes.
[03:05] DOLAN
    I'll work on my precision.
[03:06] AIRI
    I-I just... said what I thought.
[03:11] MAGURU
    There appears to be no problem with Airi's.
[03:15] AIRI
    Really? Yay!
[03:17] MAGURU
    Yes.
[03:19] MAGURU
    You're done for the day. Go play outside.
[03:23] AIRI
    Huh?
[03:24] AIRI
    Oh, I guess I'll go help Mom out, then.
[03:32] DOLAN
    As a dragon in my past life,
[03:34] DOLAN
    medicine wasn't really necessary,
[03:37] DOLAN
    which is why I'm not skilled
    with minute adjustments.
[03:41] MAGURU
    Your offensive magic is top-class,
[03:44] MAGURU
    but you just don't seem to be getting
    the hang of magical medicine.
[03:48] DOLAN
    My apologies.
[03:50] MAGURU
    Well, no need to rush.
[03:53] MAGURU
    There are no shortcuts in life.
[03:55] MAGURU
    You have the talent, so a few hurdles
    here and there should help you grow.
[04:00] DOLAN
    "Some know-how and a small
    detour," as you always say?
[04:05] MAGURU
    Right.
[04:06] MAGURU
    I suppose I'll teach you how to turn
    your poisonous failures into antidote.
[04:15] DOLAN
    I feel bad for partaking,
[04:17] DOLAN
    but thank you for the meal.
[04:19] DINA
    Don't worry about it.
    We invited you, after all.
[04:24] DOLGA
    O Goddess of Nature, Myrale.
[04:27] DOLGA
    We thank you for your generosity.
[04:29] DOLAN
    Myrale...
[04:29] DOLGA
    May you bless our daily bread and our lives.
[04:32] DOLAN
    I haven't seen her in ages.
[04:35] DOLAN
    I stayed too long.
[04:38] MIU
    Hello, Dolan.
[04:39] MIU
    Isn't today training day?
[04:42] DOLAN
    It is. That's why I'm in a rush.
[04:46] MIU
    No time to drink some fresh milk, then?
[04:51] DOLAN
    Miu, a demihuman cowperson,
[04:53] DOLAN
    shares her milk with the
    people of the village.
[04:57] DOLAN
    As for how it tastes...
[04:59] VILLAGER
    Phew! Delicious!
[05:04] DOLAN
    It is divine.
[05:07] DOLAN
    Yeah, I should hurry...
[05:09] MIU
    Here you are.
[05:18] DOLAN
    I'll have some.
[05:27] DOLAN
    Thank you.
[05:29] MIU
    Good luck!
[05:30] DOLAN
    Thank you.
[05:40] KIDS
    One!
[05:42] KIDS
    Two!
[05:43] ALBERT
    You're nearly done. Keep at it.
[05:47] DOLAN
    Sorry I'm late, Albert.
[05:49] ALBERT
    Don't worry about it.
[05:51] ALBERT
    You were studying with old Maguru, right?
[05:55] ALBERT
    All right, kids. Take a break.
[05:57] KIDS
    Okay!
[06:00] TAURO
    Dolan, check my spear work.
[06:03] KID1
    Mine, too!
[06:04] DOLAN
    After your break.
[06:06] COLKA
    We'll be fine.
[06:08] ALBERT
    Hey, follow your instructions.
[06:10] COLKA
    What? Don't say that.
[06:12] KID1
    Come on!
[06:13] TAURO
    Why?!
[06:14] KID1
    But I worked really hard!
[06:19] DOLAN
    I just felt a monster's presence...
[06:23] ALBERT
    What's up?
[06:25] DOLAN
    Nah, it's nothing.
[06:32] DOLAN
    That presence I felt this afternoon...
[06:35] DOLAN
    It was definitely a monster.
[06:37] DOLAN
    A familiar one, at that.
[06:40] DOLAN
    But they shouldn't be here.
[07:00] DOLAN
    So it was you after all, Celina.
[07:04] CELINA
    Huh? D-Dolan?!
[07:12] DOLAN
    What are you doing here, Celina?
[07:16] CELINA
    Dolan... Oh—
[07:18] CELINA
    D-Don't look!
[07:21] DOLAN
    Wow, beautiful.
[07:24] DOLAN
    Oh, pardon me. My lack of
    vocabulary is truly vexing.
[07:29] CELINA
    Close your eyes!
[07:31] DOLAN
    Why? You're very pretty.
[07:34] DOLAN
    And being seen won't reduce your beauty.
[07:36] CELINA
    Maybe so, but it's still embarrassing!
[07:39] CELINA
    How can you be so unaffected, anyway?
[07:42] CELINA
    Have some shame, will you?
[07:45] DOLAN
    Craving beautiful things
    is a natural instinct.
[07:49] DOLAN
    There is nothing shameful about that.
[07:54] DOLAN
    My apologies. That was tactless of me.
[07:59] CELINA
    It's fine. Forget it already.
[08:01] DOLAN
    So, what are you doing here?
[08:04] DOLAN
    I thought you headed south
    in search of a husband.
[08:08] CELINA
    That was the plan, yes...
[08:15] DOLAN
    I see. Most would run away, I guess.
[08:19] DOLAN
    So you came looking for me?
[08:22] CELINA
    I-I find making contact
    with humans scary, too.
[08:26] CELINA
    Still, I worked up my courage to greet them,
[08:28] CELINA
    only for them to run away terrified.
[08:32] DOLAN
    I was hoping to see you again,
    so I'm glad you're here.
[08:38] CELINA
    You mean it?
[08:39] DOLAN
    I do. I'll do anything I can to help.
[08:45] DOLAN
    Hmm, this might be a good idea, actually.
[08:50] CELINA
    What do you mean?
[08:52] DOLAN
    What do you say, Celina?
    Do you want to live together?
[08:56] CELINA
    Huh?
[08:58] CELINA
    What?!
[09:01] CELINA
    Me? Live in your village?
[09:04] DOLAN
    I have a plan that'll help you to.
[09:08] CELINA
    B-But I'm a monster, you know?
[09:11] CELINA
    I'll only end up scaring all the humans.
[09:14] DOLAN
    Oh, many beastkin and demihumans
    already live in the village.
[09:18] DOLAN
    They're part of our community.
[09:20] CELINA
    B-But a lamia?
[09:23] DOLAN
    Sure, they may be wary of you at first,
[09:26] DOLAN
    but with your gentle personality
    and lamia powers,
[09:30] DOLAN
    they'll soon welcome you with open arms.
[09:34] CELINA
    I can... be friends with humans?
[09:38] DOLAN
    I think your presence would make life
    that much more enjoyable for me.
[09:42] DOLAN
    Hm? Why does it sound
    like I'm courting her?
[09:46] CELINA
    I-I think life with you
    would be very fun, too!
[09:50] CELINA
    It would be wonderful if
    we could make it happen.
[09:53] CELINA
    Besides...
[09:55] DOLAN
    Besides?
[09:57] CELINA
    There's another reason
    I was looking for you.
[10:00] CELINA
    I was kind of hoping you would share
    some of your life energy with me again.
[10:06] DOLAN
    Oh, I'm glad you liked it.
[10:10] CELINA
    I've never had such a delicious and
    nourishing life energy before.
[10:14] DOLAN
    Once we start living together,
    you can have it anytime.
[10:18] DOLAN
    Just like this...
[10:31] CELINA
    It's so delicious...
[10:34] DOLAN
    Listen up. Here's my plan.
[10:44] SOLDIER 1
    Captain, it happened again.
[10:46] BALAN
    Hmm... That's three days in a row now.
[10:50] MALIDA
    This pit on the ground...
[10:52] MALIDA
    Doesn't it look like it was
    made by a large snake?
[10:56] KATINA
    That half-human, half-creature shadow
    we saw last night was no illusion.
[11:01] BALAN
    A lamia, a powerful and dangerous monster.
[11:05] BALAN
    But why did it leave its prey here?
    For what purpose?
[11:11] VILLAGE CHIEF
    Are you certain?
[11:13] BALAN
    Yes.
[11:15] LEADER 1
    They're said to be rare.
    Why would one show up here?
[11:19] GOLAON
    But would an evil monster leave
    an offering for us every day?
[11:23] MALIDA
    That sharke was delicious.
[11:26] CHRISTINA
    Yes, it was marvelous.
[11:30] BALAN
    Ahem!
[11:32] MALIDA
    Excuse me.
[11:34] BALAN
    Anyway, we must put together a
    squad to eliminate it at once.
[11:38] BALAN
    We must strike before anything bad happens!
[11:40] LEADER 2
    Calm down, Balan.
[11:42] LEADER 2
    A lamia is extremely
    dangerous even by itself.
[11:44] VILLAGE CHIEF
    And this village only has you
    and a few stationed soldiers.
[11:49] VILLAGE CHIEF
    I suggest we call for reinforcements
    from the capital.
[11:52] BALAN
    We should send a messenger
    out at once, then.
[11:59] DOLAN
    I didn't know there was such a deep
    divide between humans and monsters.
[12:05] DOLAN
    But they should understand once they
    get to know Celina herself...
[12:08] MAGURU
    Stop panicking!
[12:11] MAGURU
    Balan, it is clear to everyone just
    how much you care for this village.
[12:16] MAGURU
    And we're ever grateful for it.
[12:19] MAGURU
    But think about it.
    It's leaving offerings for us.
[12:23] MAGURU
    There must be a reason for that.
[12:25] MAGURU
    And just wait a moment. She'll be here soon.
[12:32] AIRI
    Excuse me. It's Airi.
[12:35] MAGURU
    Come on in.
[12:41] AIRI
    Grandmother, the results of
    the fortune-telling are in.
[12:46] MAGURU
    There we go.
[12:48] MAGURU
    Now show me the results, Airi.
[12:52] AIRI
    Here.
[12:56] MAGURU
    It's the same result I got.
[12:59] VILLAGE CHIEF
    What does it say, Maguru?
[13:02] MAGURU
    "The appearance of a snake
    is a sign of good fortune."
[13:07] MAGURU
    We should wait and see what it does.
[13:17] DOLAN
    Great. Now we can proceed to
    the final phase of the plan.
[13:23] CELINA
    The final phase of the plan, you say?
[13:26] DOLAN
    Yes.
[13:27] DOLAN
    The villagers seem a lot less wary now.
[13:31] DOLAN
    And the biggest threat, an elimination
    squad, is looking unlikely.
[13:34] DOLAN
    The offerings strategy worked out.
    You did well, Celina.
[13:38] CELINA
    Oh, no, I only did as you said.
[13:41] CELINA
    You even helped me hunt, too.
[13:45] DOLAN
    Anything to help you out.
[13:47] DOLAN
    Anyway, we just need to put
    the finishing touches now.
[13:50] DOLAN
    Listen up. Here's what we're doing.
[13:58] BALAN
    As you may have heard,
    we've sighted a lamia.
[14:02] BALAN
    It must still be nearby.
[14:04] BALAN
    As remote settlers, it falls upon us to
    learn how to defend our own villages!
[14:10] BALAN
    Therefore, we will be holding our
    outdoor training session as planned!
[14:14] COLKA
    Balan's so cool.
[14:14] BALAN
    Make sure you don't run off alone, kids!
[14:16] TAURO
    Right? That's my dad for you.
[14:20] ALBERT
    Looks like most of the village's
    big names are here.
[14:23] DOLAN
    Yes, they form the core of
    the village's defenses.
[14:27] DOLAN
    They must really be on edge.
[14:29] DOLAN
    However, they're just the people
    we need for our plan's finale.
[14:34] DOLAN
    The garrison is Verun Village's biggest force,
[14:36] DOLAN
    and its Captain Balan and
    Vice Captain Malida are here.
[14:40] LETICIA
    Goddess Myrale,
[14:40] DOLAN
    Then there's the priestess Leticia,
[14:42] DOLAN
    follower of the Goddess of Nature Myrale.
[14:43] LETICIA
    please offer these villagers
[14:44] DOLAN
    She holds immense value for her ability
    to use healing and antidote miracles.
[14:45] LETICIA
    your blessings and protection.
[14:48] DOLAN
    But she's also considered
    the goddess's messenger.
[14:51] DOLAN
    If we're not careful, she may declare
    Celina evil with no consideration.
[14:56] DOLAN
    It's up to you now, Celina.
    If this works out,
[14:59] DOLAN
    you'll be welcomed into the village.
[15:02] CELINA
    I'm so nervous...
[15:05] (Flashback) CELINA
    I have to save you?
[15:09] (Flashback) DOLAN
    That's right.
[15:10] (Flashback) DOLAN
    Tomorrow's training venue happens
    to be in piercing bunny territory.
[15:15] (Flashback) DOLAN
    I'll run into their den on purpose.
[15:17] (Flashback) DOLAN
    When I give the sign, come out and save me.
[15:20] (Flashback) DOLAN
    Once they see you do that, nobody will
    take you to be a malicious monster.
[15:25] CELINA
    When do I go? Not yet?
[15:29] BALAN
    Now, Malida and I will each lead a squad.
[15:33] BALAN
    What's wrong?!
[15:35] SOLDIER 1
    Captain! I-It's here!
[15:37] BALAN
    The lamia? All hands, alert!
[15:41] DOLAN
    Celina? I haven't given the sign yet!
[15:44] CELINA
    Huh? There's another lamia?!
[15:47] DOLAN
    No, this presence is...
[15:49] SOLDIER 1
    No! Not a lamia!
[15:54] SOLDIER 1
    An armored bear!
[15:57] BALAN
    Impossible.
[15:58] BALAN
    What's an armored bear doing
    at the edge of the forest?
[16:05] BALAN
    Don't even think about attacking it!
[16:07] BALAN
    It can kill you with one hit!
[16:09] BALAN
    Keep your distance!
[16:19] BALAN
    Tauro!
[16:20] TAURO
    D-Dad...
[16:23] DOLAN
    He won't escape in one piece unless
    I use my dragon powers, huh...
[16:27] CELINA
    Watch out!
[16:28] DOLAN
    Ce...?!
[16:35] DOLAN
    Celina!
[16:36] BALAN
    Wh-What's going on?
[16:38] MALIDA
    The lamia saved them?
[16:41] CELINA
    You're okay now...
[16:44] TAURO
    M-Miss...
[16:48] CELINA
    Back to the forest with you.
[17:02] MALIDA
    The armored bear...
    is going back into the forest.
[17:05] LETICIA
    Those must be the famed
    cursed eyes. So powerful...
[17:09] CELINA
    Are you all right?
[17:11] TAURO
    Y-Yes.
[17:12] CELINA
    And you, Dolan?
[17:14] DOLAN
    Not a scratch. But what about you?
[17:20] BALAN
    Get away from Tauro and Dolan, lamia!
[17:25] DOLAN
    Run along, Tauro.
[17:26] TAURO
    Huh? O-Okay...
[17:34] BALAN
    You come too, Dolan.
[17:38] DOLAN
    She saved me. Don't hurt her.
[17:42] CELINA
    Oh, don't worry about me...
[17:45] MALIDA
    Yes, she did seem to save him and Tauro.
[17:48] BALAN
    But lamia are dangerous monsters.
[17:50] BALAN
    I cannot let her be. I'm responsible
    for the village's safety.
[17:55] DOLAN
    I wasn't taught to
    return kindness with spite.
[17:58] DOLAN
    So I won't be moving from here.
[18:02] BALAN
    Lamia!
[18:03] BALAN
    Are you the one who has been leaving
    offerings for the village?
[18:08] CELINA
    Yes, that's right.
[18:10] CELINA
    It wash me.
[18:13] CELINA
    I misspoke.
[18:14] MALIDA
    Sh-She misspoke...
[18:20] BALAN
    Wh-Why would you do that?
[18:22] BALAN
    And why did you save Tauro and Dolan?
[18:25] CELINA
    I am Celina the lamia.
[18:30] CELINA
    I have a request!
    Please let me live in your village!
[18:33] CELINA
    I followed the rules of my kind
    and left my home on a journey.
[18:38] CELINA
    But traveling alone has been far more
    lonely than I ever imagined.
[18:43] CELINA
    I'm not asking to stay forever!
[18:45] CELINA
    But please let me live with
    you for a little while!
[18:51] CELINA
    Also, I saved Do—these two
[18:55] CELINA
    because their families would
    be saddened by their deaths.
[19:00] CELINA
    My dad was a human, and he and my
    mom loved each other very much.
[19:05] CELINA
    So I have no intention of
    harming any humans, either.
[19:10] CELINA
    Please, I beg of you!
[19:12] SOLDIER 2
    Uh, she's not scary at all.
[19:15] SOLDIER 4
    Kinda cute, if anything.
[19:17] MALIDA
    So Maguru's fortune-telling was right?
[19:20] BALAN
    Leticia, what do you say?
[19:24] ALBERT
    Wh-What's happening?
[19:26] DOLAN
    Wait, could it be...
[19:33] BALAN
    What's the matter?
[19:34] LETICIA
    Yes... Yes!
[19:37] MALIDA
    Leticia?
[19:42] LETICIA
    I have received an oracle
    from Goddess Myrale.
[19:46] BALAN
    Huh? From Goddess of Nature Myrale?
[19:50] LETICIA
    Yes, there's no mistaking it.
[19:52] LETICIA
    A divine judgment.
[19:54] LETICIA
    "The lamia before you is not evil.
[19:58] LETICIA
    She is a child of nature, just like you.
[20:01] LETICIA
    Live together in harmony," she says.
[20:04] LETICIA
    You're keeping your eyes closed to allay
    our fear of your cursed eyes, aren't you?
[20:12] LETICIA
    You may open your eyes now, kind lamia.
[20:17] CELINA
    Thank you so...
[20:21] DOLAN
    This is bad. Let's get her to the village!
[20:24] BALAN
    R-Right! Let's hurry!
[20:31] CELINA
    A home for me...?
[20:34] BALAN
    Yes, but I'm sure lamia and humans
    need very different things.
[20:38] BALAN
    Check inside and see if it's acceptable.
[20:41] AIRI
    Aren't you glad, Celina?
[20:43] CELINA
    I am!
[21:07] CELINA
    So soft.
[21:10] MALIDA
    The many cushions were Captain Balan's idea.
[21:15] AIRI
    It seems you like it, huh?
[21:17] CELINA
    Thank you so much for giving
    me such a lovely home.
[21:23] BALAN
    I'm sorry for pointing my weapon at you.
[21:28] BALAN
    You saved my son's life.
[21:30] BALAN
    Allow me to express my gratitude.
[21:33] BALAN
    Thank you, really.
[21:36] CELINA
    P-Please raise your head!
