**[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!
**[21:38] AIRI**
We don't know anything about lamia,
**[21:42] AIRI**
so I'm sure there's a lot were missing.
