[00:01] BALAN
    I brought you this hay from my shed.
[00:04] DOLAN
    Celina should be fine now.
[00:05] CELINA
    Thank you! It's wonderful!
[00:07] DOLAN
    An oracle, huh?
[00:11] DOLAN
    It appears I am in your debt now,
[00:14] DOLAN
    my good friend, Myrale.
SIGN    The Knight Girl
[02:00] DOLAN
    I haven't used my astral form
    in eons. I'm a little nervous.
[02:23] MYRALE
    My. I knew I felt a familiar presence.
[02:28] MYRALE
    It's been too long, my old dragon friend.
[02:32] DOLAN
    It has, Goddess Myrale.
[02:35] MYRALE
    "Goddess"? Somebody's been dyed
    in the ways of the earth.
[02:42] DOLAN
    Myrale, please don't tease me so.
[02:48] DOLAN
    On that note...
[02:50] MYRALE
    I know. This is about the lamia, isn't it?
[02:53] DOLAN
    Yes. I appreciate it.
[02:56] DOLAN
    There's no telling what would've
    happened without your oracle.
[03:00] MYRALE
    It take it things worked out, then?
[03:02] DOLAN
    Thanks to you, yes. You have my gratitude.
[03:05] DOLAN
    I'm impressed that you realized
    it was me, reborn as a human.
[03:10] MYRALE
    I felt your soul among the
    prayers offered to me.
[03:16] MYRALE
    And it sparkled with the joy of life.
[03:19] MYRALE
    It surprised me because you
    used to be so sick of living.
[03:25] DOLAN
    I can't deny it.
[03:27] DOLAN
    When the hero's blade pierced my heart,
[03:31] DOLAN
    I felt no despair over dying.
[03:33] DOLAN
    Only a blank realization
    that this was the end.
[03:37] DOLAN
    But my rebirth as a human changed that.
[03:41] DOLAN
    I realized that the people on the surface
    live each day like it's their last.
[03:47] DOLAN
    Their lives, as fleeting as they
    may seem to celestial beings,
[03:52] DOLAN
    burn extremely bright.
[03:56] MYRALE
    You're shining quite brightly yourself.
[04:03] MYRALE
    Lately, I've come to sense the
    pure joy in your heart and soul.
[04:10] DOLAN
    Well...
[04:11] MYRALE
    It's the same for the lamia.
[04:15] DOLAN
    I see. Thank you.
[04:22] CELINA
    Dolan!
[04:24] CELINA
    Dolan!
[04:27] CELINA
    Wake up! The day has come!
[04:30] DOLAN
    Please knock before you come in.
[04:33] CELINA
    S-Sorry. Let me start over.
[04:36] DOLAN
    It's fine.
[04:38] CELINA
    What's up? You seem happy.
[04:42] DOLAN
    Well, I had a dream where an old
    friend said some kind words to me.
[04:47] DOLAN
    Anyway, what's this about today?
[04:50] CELINA
    How could you? We promised to plant
    potatoes with Christina today.
[04:55] CELINA
    It'd make her so sad if
    she found out you forgot.
[04:59] DOLAN
    Oh, yes, that was the plan.
SIGN    Extra, extra! Get the latest on the case of the missing women!
[05:24] OLIVIA
    So it's you. I'll open the door right away.
[05:34] OFFICEWORKER
    You have mail, Headmistress.
[05:37] OLIVIA
    Thank you, as always.
    You may place them there.
[05:46] OLIVIA
    Thank you, too.
[05:47] CLERK
    Please read it at once.
    Today's mail is special.
[05:51] OLIVIA
    Oh? Could it be...
[05:53] CLERK
    It's from Christina!
[05:56] OLIVIA
    It seems like you're eager
    to have me read it at once.
[05:59] CLERK
    C-Can you blame me? It's from
    Christina, the pride of our academy!
[06:05] OLIVIA
    Fair. I'll read it right away.
[06:15] OLIVIA
    "Dear Headmistress Olivia, I trust
    this letter finds you in fine health.
[06:19] OLIVIA
    Some time has passed since..."
[06:19] CHRISTINA
    Some time has passed since my
    stay in Verun Village began.
[06:24] CHRISTINA
    Lying further north than Galoa, Verun faces
    harsh climes and threats to its safety.
[06:29] CHRISTINA
    As such, combat training is a
    fixture for the villagers.
[06:31] AUDIENCE1
    I haven't seen the vice captain
    on the back foot in ages.
[06:35] AUDIENCE2
    Come on, you know she ain't serious yet.
[06:39] MALIDA
    Sheesh, these people love
    to run their mouth.
[06:43] CHRISTINA
    But he's not wrong.
    You aren't serious yet.
[06:47] MALIDA
    Very well. I'll start taking this seriously.
[06:51] MALIDA
    But know that I won't be able to hold back.
[06:54] CHRISTINA
    Just the way I like it!
[07:08] MALIDA
    Your skill with the sword is extraordinary.
[07:11] MALIDA
    I've lost, and handily.
[07:12] CHRISTINA
    Please. Your sword was swift,
    sharp, and beautiful to boot.
[07:18] CHRISTINA
    I couldn't take my eyes off it.
[07:20] BALAN
    A marvelous mock battle, Christina.
[07:27] MALIDA
    Christina, we're all about
    to have lunch together.
[07:31] MALIDA
    Would you like to join us?
[07:33] BALAN
    Show Christina Verun's brand
    of hospitality, you guys!
[07:38] CHRISTINA
    While the conditions here are harsh,
[07:41] CHRISTINA
    its people are warm, and they have
    readily made me a part of their lives.
[07:50] MIU
    Please eat all you like.
[07:53] CHRISTINA
    Thank you.
[07:54] F. VILLAGER1
    Have some of this, too. I don't
    know if you'll like it, though.
[07:58] CHRISTINA
    All the food in this village is
    delicious, so I'll gladly have some.
[08:10] CHRISTINA
    Is something the matter?
[08:12] F. VILLAGER1
    Oh, my apologies!
[08:14] F. VILLAGER2
    It's just... you're so pretty.
[08:18] BALAN
    Care to join us for a drink, Christina?
[08:22] CHRISTINA
    Er...
[08:23] ALBERT
    In my opinion, you should decline.
[08:26] CLETH
    The captain doesn't know when to stop.
    You'll be drinking till morning.
[08:29] BALAN
    Not true!
[08:30] MALIDA
    Captain Balan, don't try to drag
    Christina into your nonsense.
[08:35] MALIDA
    Show some respect.
[08:36] CHRISTINA
    Huh? I don't particularly...
[08:38] BALAN
    R-Right. I apologize if I offended you.
[08:42] BALAN
    I guess...
[08:43] BALAN
    I'll make do with you guys tonight.
[08:47] BALAN
    Stop trying to run.
[08:55] ELDER
    Have a good night, then.
[09:30] CELINA
    Dolan, is that...
[09:33] DOLAN
    Yeah, looks like it.
[09:36] CELINA
    So it is Christina!
[09:39] CELINA
    Training with the sword?
[09:42] CHRISTINA
    Y-Yes.
[09:44] CELINA
    Huh? Is something the matter?
[09:48] CHRISTINA
    No, I...
[09:53] CELINA
    Christina!
[09:55] CELINA
    Would you like to come over?
[10:00] CHRISTINA
    Is this...
[10:02] CELINA
    Yes, it's my home. It's really nice.
[10:06] CELINA
    And what I like most about it...
[10:09] CELINA
    is this bed!
[10:12] CHRISTINA
    Your bed?
[10:13] CELINA
    It's really comfy! It actually
    helps me have sweet dreams.
[10:18] CHRISTINA
    Huh... So that's what a
    bed for lamia looks like.
[10:22] CELINA
    It's amazing.
[10:24] CELINA
    Sleep on it, and I bet you'll
    be feeling warm and fuzzy, too!
[10:29] CELINA
    Come!
[10:32] DOLAN
    Celina, it may be great for lamia,
[10:35] DOLAN
    but that may not necessarily
    be the same for humans.
[10:40] CELINA
    Sorry...
[10:51] CELINA
    How is it?
[10:53] CHRISTINA
    It's very comfortable, yes.
[10:57] CELINA
    Right?
[10:59] CELINA
    It was Balan's idea!
[11:02] CHRISTINA
    Captain Balan?
[11:04] CELINA
    As a lamia, I was honestly worried if
    the villagers here would accept me.
[11:11] CELINA
    But the more I get to know this village,
    the more I love the people here.
[11:17] CELINA
    Did you know? Balan loves
    the milk his wife produces,
[11:22] CELINA
    and he and the villagers compete over
    who can drink the most in one sitting.
[11:27] CHRISTINA
    That explains why everyone
    headed to his house earlier.
[11:31] CELINA
    Dolan's older brother is a skilled fisher.
[11:33] CELINA
    He's fished a sharke this big
    out of the river once before.
[11:38] CHRISTINA
    I didn't know that river
    even had fish of that size.
[11:41] DOLAN
    The other villagers have
    their lovable quirks, too.
[11:43] DOLAN
    Malida is a soldier on the outside,
    but she loves her sweets.
[11:47] DOLAN
    And Albert...
[11:48] CELINA
    Dolan...
[11:50] CELINA
    Why are you standing over there?
[11:52] DOLAN
    Huh? Oh...
[11:53] CHRISTINA
    Yes, why? You should join us on the bed.
[11:58] DOLAN
    No, I'll pass.
[12:14] MIU
    Well? Do you like it?
[12:16] DOLAN
    Yeah, it's great. Thanks as always.
[12:18] BALAN
    You got that right!
[12:20] BALAN
    Who's gonna step up and drink more
    of my wife's milk than I can?
[12:24] BALAN
    Will it be you? Or you?
[12:26] ALBERT
    Uh, maybe not today.
[12:28] CELINA
    This is the place, Christina.
[12:31] BALAN
    Oh, if it ain't Christina!
[12:33] CHLES
    Please, join us here.
[12:35] CHRISTINA
    Thank you.
[12:37] BALAN
    What brings you here today?
[12:40] CHRISTINA
    I thought I'd try some of the
    milk you're so proud of.
[12:44] MIU
    Such a lovely thought.
    I'll bring some right away.
[13:00] CHRISTINA
    It's as delicious as they say.
[13:03] MIU
    Very glad to hear it!
[13:05] BALAN
    Could it be that you're quite the drinker?
[13:10] CHRISTINA
    I can certainly drink more than most.
[13:12] BALAN
    Care to see if that includes me?
[13:16] CHRISTINA
    Don't blame me if I empty out
    the village's milk supplies.
[13:21] BALAN
    Cheers!
[13:26] CHRISTINA
    More!
[13:27] BALAN
    More!
[13:34] CHRISTINA
    More!
[13:37] BALAN
    More!
[13:38] ALBERT
    Whoa. Captain Balan's our champion,
    and he's having trouble keeping up.
[13:58] DOLAN
    Are you okay? You're not forcing yourself?
[14:01] CHRISTINA
    I could go for some more, if anything.
[14:04] MIU
    Um, Christina?
[14:06] MIU
    Could you taste something for me?
[14:10] DOLAN
    Wait, is that Mir's...
[14:12] MIR
    Yep.
[14:14] MIU
    I was hoping to have my
    husband try it first,
[14:18] MIU
    but look at him now.
[14:21] MIU
    So if you could, Christina...
[14:34] CHRISTINA
    It's great.
[14:37] CHRISTINA
    It's sweet and goes down smoothly.
[14:39] CHRISTINA
    Could I have another jug?
[14:45] MIR
    Thank you!
[14:48] CHRISTINA
    Thanks to Dolan and Celina,
[14:51] CHRISTINA
    I got to grow closer to the villagers.
[14:55] OLIVIA
    "Verun Village is starting to become
    a place that's dear to my heart."
[15:02] OLIVIA
    I see.
[15:03] CLERK
    Wow, she's friends with a lamia?
[15:07] CLERK
    That's our Christina, all right.
[15:12] OLIVIA
    Oh? Please come in.
[15:19] NOBLELADY
    Have you heard?
[15:21] NOBLELADY
    It seems a student of the Magic Academy
    has grown friendly with a lamia.
[15:24] OLDNOBLELADY
    A lamia?!
[15:26] OLDNOBLE
    Can humans and monsters even be friends?
[15:29] BARON
    It's Christina, yes?
[15:31] BARON
    Her exploits are the talk
    of the town in Galoa.
[15:35] NOBLELADY
    They say that lamia is young and no
    less beautiful than Christina herself.
[15:41] OLIVIA
    Word sure gets around quickly, huh?
[15:45] KEIREN
    Could you tell me more about this lamia?
[15:52] OLIVIA
    Keiren?
[15:53] OLIVIA
    Why do you care about a mere lamia?
[15:55] OLIVIA
    You're a mage employed by
    the government-general.
[15:59] KEIREN
    Why wouldn't I?
[16:01] KEIREN
    Even alone, we mustn't discount
    the threat it poses.
[16:04] KEIREN
    Humans aren't meant to live with
    monsters as dangerous as lamia.
[16:09] KEIREN
    We have yet to resolve the recent
    string of disappearances, too.
[16:13] KEIREN
    We have enough bad news.
    I don't want any more.
[16:16] OLIVIA
    While those incidents are
    cause for concern...
[16:18] OLIVIA
    The lamia is said to be gentle and kind,
[16:21] OLIVIA
    and an oracle from Goddess Myrale told
    people to live together with her.
[16:26] KEIREN
    Still, we must be prepared for the worst.
[16:29] KEIREN
    She should be summoned to Galoa at once.
[16:32] KEIREN
    Whose jurisdiction does
    Verun Village fall under?
[16:35] GOUDA
    That would be me.
[16:38] GOUDA
    We must make the first move here.
[16:41] GOUDA
    I'll send an envoy at once.
[16:49] CELINA
    I'm done, Dolan!
[16:51] DOLAN
    You've certainly planted them with care,
[16:55] DOLAN
    but you should probably
    space them out more evenly.
[16:59] DOLAN
    As for Christina...
[17:02] DOLAN
    Well, that's an impactful sight.
[17:06] CHRISTINA
    Was that a tad too much force?
[17:10] CLETH
    Dolan! And you too, Celina!
[17:12] DOLAN
    Cleth? What's the matter?
[17:16] CLETH
    Come to the village gates at once!
[17:26] DOLAN
    Elder, what's going on here?
[17:28] ELDER
    This way, Christina.
[17:32] GOUDA
    All hands, get in position!
[17:36] GOUDA
    I'm Gouda, Commissioner
    of the Northern Frontier.
[17:40] GOUDA
    Would you be Dolan?
[17:41] DOLAN
    Yes.
[17:42] GOUDA
    I hear you brought the lamia into this
    holy land given to you by our king.
[17:48] GOUDA
    Is this true?
[17:50] DOLAN
    Yes, that is correct.
[17:53] PARAMYS
    Commissioner Gouda, must I repeat myself?
[17:56] PARAMYS
    Our Goddess Myrale's oracle has already
    proven that she isn't an evil monster.
[18:04] GOUDA
    Priestess Paramys, I'm not saying I doubt
    our great goddess Myrale's judgment.
[18:11] GOUDA
    But I am responsible for these lands.
[18:14] GOUDA
    I must eliminate any threats
    to it surely and swiftly.
[18:18] DOLAN
    I was afraid they'd sent a lamia-elimination
    squad, but apparently not.
[18:25] DOLAN
    What are they after?
[18:27] GOUDA
    We'll take the lamia to the government-general
    to confirm that she is truly safe.
[18:35] DOLAN
    Why do that if you do not
    doubt the goddess's judgment?
[18:39] GOUDA
    Whatever the goddess may say,
[18:41] GOUDA
    if she is to live in Verun Village,
[18:43] GOUDA
    she must complete the procedures
    Kingdom law deems necessary.
[18:47] GOUDA
    Such are the laws of our society.
[18:49] GOUDA
    Surely even you can understand, lamia.
[18:52] CELINA
    Right...
[18:54] DOLAN
    Commissioner, I'm the one
    who brought Celina in.
[18:57] DOLAN
    Therefore I would like to accompany her.
[19:00] DOLAN
    May I have your permission to do so?
[19:03] GOUDA
    Very well.
[19:04] GOUDA
    After all, we can't have her
    acting out along the way.
[19:07] GOUDA
    That would force us to take
    the necessary measures.
[19:17] CHRISTINA
    I'm worried about those two.
[19:20] CHRISTINA
    I should go ahead and talk to
    the headmistress about this.
[19:24] CHRISTINA
    She has considerable influence
    with the government-general.
[19:27] CHRISTINA
    Hear me, the laws of wind.
[19:31] CHRISTINA
    Give me the means to traverse your path.
[19:35] CHRISTINA
    Sylphied Boost!
[19:44] DOLAN
    This must be your first time
    riding a carriage for so long.
[19:48] DOLAN
    Do you feel any pain?
[19:50] CELINA
    I'm fine.
[19:52] CELINA
    Aren't you cold?
[19:55] CELINA
    I brought my blanket, so you can share it.
[19:59] DOLAN
    Allow me, then.
[20:03] CELINA
    Special case, okay?
[20:08] DOLAN
    Don't worry, Celina. You'll be fine.
[20:11] DOLAN
    The procedures won't take long.
[20:14] CELINA
    I'm more worried about the
    trouble I caused everyone.
[20:18] CELINA
    Because of me, even you had to...
[20:22] DOLAN
    Celina.
[20:29] DOLAN
    I'm taking a page out of my mother's book.
[20:31] DOLAN
    Whenever I was anxious, she would
    pull me in and comfort me.
[20:39] DOLAN
    It'll be okay.
[20:42] DOLAN
    Don't worry about a thing.
[20:44] DOLAN
    If you feel bad about being a lamia,
[20:51] DOLAN
    then I'll have to give a talking-to
    that lasts all night.
[20:54] CELINA
    What?!
[21:03] CHRISTINA
    Excuse me, Headmistress!
[21:08] CHRISTINA
    I would like to discuss the commissioner's
    visit to Verun Village.
[21:12] OLIVIA
    That tells me all I need to know.
[21:16] OLIVIA
    Take a seat first. I'll make some tea.
[21:20] OLIVIA
    First things first.
[21:22] OLIVIA
    Celina will not be eliminated.
    She has Goddess Myrale's blessing.
[21:28] CHRISTINA
    Then why was she taken away?
[21:31] OLIVIA
    It wasn't Commissioner Gouda
    who decided to bring her here.
[21:35] OLIVIA
    It was someone higher up the
    ladder—the mage, Keiren.
[21:39] CHRISTINA
    Higher than the commissioner?
    So, part of the government-general?
[21:43] OLOVIA
    Keiren sees her as a threat,
[21:47] OLOVIA
    and that she may be involved
    in the recent disappearances.
[21:51] CHRISTINA
    Celina would never...
[21:52] OLIVIA
    Of course not. It'd be impossible
    for her, living out in Verun.
[21:57] OLIVIA
    But if Keiren says so,
    suspicion may very well fall on her.
[22:03] CHRISTINA
    What?!
[22:16] SOLDIER
    Up. Commissioner Gouda has called for you.
