[00:01] Masato
    Then we're at an impasse.
[00:04] Jaccoi
    If you have a problem with the
    Neutscheland Company's prices,
[00:08] Jaccoi
    then you can go elsewhere.
[00:11] Masato
    That so?
[00:13] Masato
    We're outta here, Elch.
[00:15] Elch
    H-Hey!
[00:16] Elch
    And where are we supposed to go?!
[00:18] Jaccoi
    Elch.
[00:21] Jaccoi
    If you happen to find another buyer
    in Dormundt, I hope you'll tell me.
[00:28] Jaccoi
    We'd have to report anyone doing business
    here without one of these permits.
[00:39] Elch
    Hold on!
[00:40] Elch
    I told you, didn't I?
[00:42] Elch
    That's the only trading company
    in this town!
[00:45] Elch
    They're the only ones we can sell to!
[00:47] Masato
    No way.
[00:49] Masato
    I enjoy fleecing people,
[00:51] Masato
    but I hate it when they try to fleece me.
[00:55] Elch
    What are you saying?
    You're not making any sense!
[00:57] Masato
    Neither are you.
[00:59] Masato
    A deal is a means of
    achieving your objective.
[01:04] Masato
    Any deal that doesn't help you reach your goal
    is one that's not worth making.
[01:08] Masato
    Could you achieve your goals
    at the prices he was offering?
[01:11] Elch
    I mean, yeah...
[01:13] ---
    At those prices, our village
    wouldn't make it through the winter.
[01:16] Elch
    Even I understand that.
[01:19] Elch
    But we can't do anything about it!
[01:22] Masato
    A life spent going along with the flow
    and letting yourself be used is worthless.
[01:29] Masato
    He was so condescending to you.
[01:31] Masato
    You can't take that lying down.
    It's not right.
[01:33] Elch
    Y-You're... angry on our behalf?
[01:38] Masato
    Of course I am.
[01:39] Masato
    We owe you all our lives.
[01:42] Masato
    Hey, Elch, let me take charge
    of this business trip.
[01:48] Masato
    If you do, I'll earn you a fortune
    and teach them a lesson.
[01:54] Masato
    And while I'm at it,
[01:57] Masato
    I'll also crush this shitty company in a week.

[03:34] Akatsuki
    Come on, come all!
[03:36] Akatsuki
    What I hold here before you is nothing
    more than an ordinary handkerchief,
[03:40] Akatsuki
    a simple piece of cloth.
[03:42] Akatsuki
    Yet this cloth is about to undergo
    a miraculous transformation,
[03:46] Akatsuki
    so watch closely, everyone.
[03:49] Akatsuki
    Here we go.
[03:50] Akatsuki
    There!
[03:56] Kids
    Wow!
[03:58] Kids
    Incredible!
[04:06] Kids
    Go, girl!
[04:08] Kids
    You're amazing, Miss!
[04:09] Akastsuki
    Huh?
[04:10] Akastsuki
    Um, I'm a boy, you know.
[04:14] Kids
    Yeah, yeah.
[04:14] Kids
    You're funny.
[04:15] Lyrule
    You've all really been a huge help.
[04:19] Lyrule
    Everyone in the village is
    really happy to have you, too.
[04:21] Tsukasa
    No, we're the ones who should be
    thanking you for all your help.
[04:26] Tsukasa
    We're merely doing what little each of us can
[04:31] ---
    to repay this village for
    the kindness it has shown us.
[04:40] Tsukasa
    It's our general consensus that
    we'd like to be of use to you all.
[04:48] Tsukasa
    So I'll work diligently to make
    more mayonnaise again today.
[04:53] Lyrule
    It's not just the mayonnaise.
[04:56] Lyrule
    You've taught us a lot of new recipes,
[04:59] Lyrule
    making it so much more fun to cook!
[05:02] Lyrule
    But that said...
[05:04] Lyrule
    We'll run out of salt and wheat flour soon.
[05:08] Tsukasa
    You don't need to worry.
[05:11] Tsukasa
    The Merchant and Shinobu went with Elch
[05:14] ---
    when he headed into town
    to prepare for the winter.
[05:17] Tsukasa
    I'm sure we'll receive
    the necessary goods soon.
[05:22] Lyrule
    I just hope Elch is getting
    along with those two.
[05:28] (Flashback) Elch
    We can't afford...
    to keep seven useless mouths fed!
[05:33] (Flashback) Elch
    If your wounds are healed,
    then get out of our village already!
[05:38] Winona
    He can be really stubborn.
    I wonder who he got it from.
[05:43] Lyrule
    Oh, Winona.
[05:45] Winona
    He acts that way toward all of you
    because of his position as our treasurer.
[05:52] Winona
    He's trying really hard to ensure that
    everyone in the village is well-fed,
[05:57] Winona
    but things aren't looking too good.
[06:01] Winona
    It's all due to that Jaccoi guy.
[06:05] Tsukasa
    Jaccoi? Who is that?
[06:08] Winona
    He's the guy who's monopolized
    the right to trade in Dormundt.
[06:12] Winona
    He's an awful fellow taking advantage
    of our small businesses by paying peanuts.
[06:17] Tsukasa
    I see.
[06:19] Tsukasa
    Though, in that case,
[06:21] ---
    everything will be perfectly okay
    if we just let the Merchant handle it.
[06:25] Tsukasa
    That guy is like capitalism
    in human clothing,
[06:30] Tsukasa
    so a situation like that
    is sure to stoke his fire.
[06:37] Tsukasa
    By now, he's probably...
[06:39] Tsukasa
    in the process of establishing his own
    Elm Trading Company or something like that.
[06:45] Elch
    Business Permit...
[06:48] Elch
    Elm Trading Company...
[06:51] Elch
    Mayor of Dormundt, Walter Von Haizerad...
[06:55] Elch
    Th-This...
[06:57] ---
    i-isn't fake, is it?
[07:01] Masato
    I think it'd be more challenging to enter
    the mayor's home and leave with a fake.
[07:05] Elch
    How did you manage to...
[07:08] Shinobu
    Given my talent for gathering intel,
    it was more than easy enough.
[07:14] Elch
    Ah! You! When did you get here?!
[07:18] Shinobu
    Nin, nin!
[07:19] Masato
    Listen, Elch, give it some thought.
[07:22] Masato
    If Neutscheland is the only one handling
    all the trade in a town as big as Dormundt,
[07:28] Masato
    then there has to be something
    going on behind the scenes.
[07:31] Elch
    Huh? You mean...
[07:33] Masato
    The Mayor's secret account books
[07:36] ---
    showed a vast sum of money
    coming from Neutscheland.
[07:39] Masato
    So when I questioned him about that a little,
[07:43] Masato
    I got one of these as my answer.
[07:46] Elch
    Seriously?
[07:48] Shinobu
    Now then...
[07:51] Shinobu
    I'll be taking my leave.
[07:53] Shinobu
    There's a lot more information
    I need to gather, after all.
[07:56] Masato
    Yeah. Thanks, Shinobu.
[08:00] Masato
    On that note...
[08:02] Masato
    Let's go stock up, Elch.
[08:04] Elch
    Huh? Stock up?
[08:06] Elch
    But we're here to sell these, right?
[08:08] Elch
    Why would we...?
[08:10] Elch
    Ow! What was that for?!
[08:12] Masato
    You asked a stupid question.
[08:14] Masato
    What do you think we got this permit for?
[08:17] Masato
    Listen, this is a good opportunity.
[08:19] Masato
    I do owe your village
    for saving us, after all.
[08:22] Elch
    Huh?
[08:24] Masato
    The President of the Sanada Group
    is gonna give you
[08:28] ---
    a personal lecture on how to make money.
[08:30] Masato
    I'll let you feast your eyes on
    an armful of coins real soon.
[08:35] Roo
    Really?
[08:39] Roo
    An armful of coins?
[08:42] Roo
    I want that, too.
[08:44] Roo
    Me, too.
[08:46] Roo
    I want gold.
[08:49] Roo
    I want to make my own living.
[08:52] Roo
    I've had enough of living under other people.
[08:56] Roo
    So...
[08:57] Roo
    Please.
[08:59] Roo
    Please,
[09:00] Roo
    teach Roo how to make money, too!
[09:11] Masato
    Very well.
[09:12] Masato
    Starting now, you're one of us.
[09:15] Elcha
    Hey, are you serious?!
[09:16] Elcha
    You're letting some random kid join our group?!
[09:20] Masato
    Of course I'm serious.
[09:21] Masato
    There's greed in her eyes.
[09:24] Masato
    Adding people like her to
    your ranks can't hurt.
[09:28] Masato
    I'm Sanada Masato.
[09:30] Masato
    This is Elch.
[09:32] Masato
    And, young lady, your name is Roo?
[09:35] Roo
    Yeah, I'm Roo.
[09:37] Masato
    All right!
[09:38] Masato
    Okay, Rooko, I'll teach you
    how to make money as well!
[09:42] Roo
    Yeah! Thank you, Teacher!
[09:45] Masato
    Teacher?
[09:47] Masato
    Whatever.
[09:49] Masato
    Listen, we're now the Elm Trading Company.
[09:52] Masato
    So keep up with me!
[09:54] Masato
    It's time to have some fun making money!
[09:57] Roo
    Yeah!
[09:59] Masato
    Oh, but before that,
[10:01] ---
    we'll need to get you looking the part.
[10:18] Farmer
    Consignment sale?
[10:21] Farmer
    What's that?
[10:23] Farmer
    I've never heard of it.
[10:24] Farmer
    Same, same.
[10:25] Masato
    Long story short,
[10:27] Masato
    the Elm Trading Company will be setting
    up shop in the central plaza tomorrow,
[10:31] ---
    and we'll let Fitze Village
    sell your wares alongside ours.
[10:34] Farmer
    Y-You can do that?!
[10:37] Farmer
    But we don't have a permit.
[10:40] Farmer
    Uh-huh.
[10:41] Masato
    We can.
[10:43] Masato
    It's not like it's prohibited.
[10:45] Masato
    Also, our Elm Trading Company has this permit.
[10:51] Masato
    However, it did cost us quite
    a bit to obtain this thing.
[10:57] Masato
    So we'd be taking 20 percent of
    your sales as a hosting fee.
[11:06] Masato
    Well...
[11:08] Masato
    We're all in the same boat of
    suffering under Neutscheland.
[11:12] Masato
    So if you're willing to help man the shop,
[11:14] ---
    we don't mind making an exception
    and reducing the hosting fee to 10 percent.
[11:19] Masato
    How's that?
[11:20] Farmer
    Hey, how much is 10 percent?
[11:23] Farmer
    Hmm...
[11:24] Farmer
    Hey, I don't know.
[11:26] Masato
    Listen, let's say you were selling carpets.
[11:31] Masato
    From what I could see in the market,
    the going rate on those was about 450 luc.
[11:37] Masato
    If you brought them to Neutscheland,
[11:41] ---
    they'd buy them from you for 150 luc at best.
[11:46] Masato
    Now, let's say you sell them on
    consignment with our trading company.
[11:49] Masato
    We'd be selling them for a little less
    than market price, so about 400 luc.
[11:54] Masato
    Once they sold, we'd take 10 percent,
    or 40 luc, for ourselves.
[11:58] Masato
    Which means you would be taking home 360 luc.
[12:05] Farmer
    We'd be earning that much?!
[12:07] Farmer
    That's incredible!
[12:09] Farmer
    Please let us in on this!
[12:11] Farmer
    Hey, would it be okay if we mentioned
    this offer to other villages, too?
[12:15] Masato
    Yes!
[12:17] Masato
    We'd welcome it, brethren!
[12:21] Farmer
    We'll be counting on you tomorrow, then.
[12:23] Masato
    Yeah, leave it to us!
[12:28] Masato
    Well, that's how you do it.
[12:30] Elch
    But is what you just proposed
    really going to work that well?
[12:35] Masato
    What? You're worried about it?
[12:38] Elch
    It seems way too convenient for us
[12:41] ---
    to be able to stock up
    without paying a single luc.
[12:44] Masato
    Well, just wait and see.
[13:02] Roo
    Incredible!
[13:04] Elch
    Are you serious?
[13:12] Elch
    We really got stock without
    spending a single luc...
[13:18] Masato
    Listen up, you two.
[13:20] Masato
    When you're stocking up a business,
[13:22] ---
    you'll naturally need money.
[13:25] Masato
    However, the one thing
    you need more than money
[13:30] ---
    is trust.
[13:31] Elch
    Trust?
[13:33] Masato
    In business, trust breaks down to,
    "How much profit can they make me?"
[13:40] Masato
    In other words, nothing holds more trust
    in this town than a business permit.
[13:45] Masato
    Also, Elch, you've already
    figured it out, haven't you?
[13:49] Masato
    What makes this method especially nasty?
[13:52] Elch
    We're not spending any money,
[13:53] ---
    so we can stock up all we want, and we
    won't lose anything if it doesn't sell.
[13:57] Elch
    We just keep generating profit at no risk.
[14:00] Elch
    Right?
[14:02] Masato
    Unfortunately, you only get a 50 for that.
[14:05] Masato
    Rooko,
[14:07] ---
    do you remember what I said
    the condition would be
[14:11] ---
    for reducing their hosting fee
    from 20 percent to 10?
[14:13] Roo
    Uh, uh...
[14:18] Roo
    You said they'd have to help man the shop!
[14:22] Masato
    Yes, that's the crucial part.
[14:28] Masato
    Doing that allows our small
    three-person trading company
[14:33] ---
    to expand our shop as much as we need.
[14:37] Masato
    We could become even bigger
    than Neutscheland, in fact.
[14:54] Elch
    We aren't getting any customers.
    Is this really going to work?
[14:57] Masato
    Well, don't panic.
[15:01] Mob
    Oh, my. When did they
    build a market out here?
[15:04] Mob
    Oh? This is pretty cheap.
[15:08] Masato
    Welcome, welcome!
[15:10] Masato
    We're Elm Trading Company,
    the cheapest option here in Dormundt!
[15:14] Masato
    Our goods are less expensive,
    but the quality's just as good!
[15:16] Masato
    Have a look around!
[15:18] Mob
    Oh! They have a lot of stuff!
[15:20] Mob
    There's more than just Neutscheland, huh?
[15:22] Roo
    We're getting lots of customers.
[15:25] Masato
    Naturally.
[15:27] Mob
    I'll take these shoes.
[15:27] Masato
    Our shop is closer to their daily sphere
    and cheaper than their usual shops.
[15:29] Mob
    I'll take this cape.
[15:30] Masato
    Now, come on, you guys!
[15:32] Mob
    I'll take everything on this row.
[15:32] Masato
    Sell, sell, sell away!
[15:34] Mob
    M-Me too!
[15:36] Shinobu
    And that's what I've learned about Jaccoi.
[15:39] Masato
    Well, that's about what I anticipated.
[15:42] Masato
    Thanks, Shinobu.
[15:45] Shinobu
    You're welcome.
[15:47] Masato
    Oh, one more thing.
[15:49] Shinobu
    Hmm? What is it?
[15:50] Masato
    We earned a fair deal today,
[15:52] Masato
    so I'm going to acquire a cart
    full of supplies for the village.
[15:54] Roo
    Coins, coins...
[15:57] Masato
    We should probably fulfill Ringo-chan's
    request sooner than later.
[16:01] Shinobu
    Right.
[16:02] Shinobu
    Then give me a call
    once you've got everything ready.
[16:05] Shinobu
    I'll deliver it for you at express speed.
[16:14] Shinobu
    Nin, nin, nin!
[16:24] Winona
    Salt and pepper.
[16:26] Winona
    Oh, even sugar!
[16:29] Child
    Honey Jam!
[16:31] Child
    There's so much!
[16:32] Child
    Look at this!
[16:34] Child
    Wow, incredible!
[16:36] Child
    There's even fruit!
[16:37] Shinobu
    I stopped by Ringo-chan's place already.
[16:40] Tsukasa
    Good work.
[16:42] Tsukasa
    Now we can stop worrying about the lab.
[16:45] Tsukasa
    How's the Merchant doing?
[16:49] Shinobu
    Everything's going well.
[16:51] Shinobu
    He should be coming back
    in about three or four more days.
[16:54] Tsukasa
    Oh?
[16:55] Shinobu
    He did say he would crush the
    Neutscheland Trading Company in a week.
[17:01] Tsukasa
    I see.
[17:03] Tsukasa
    If the Merchant made that proclamation,
    then it'll probably come true.
[17:08] Jaccoi
    Elm Trading Company?!
[17:10] Jaccoi
    I don't need you bringing me information
    about a tiny company like that.
[17:13] Jaccoi
    Just let them do as they please!
[17:15] Subordinate
    P-Pardon me!
[17:18] Jaccoi
    Good grief!
[17:19] Jaccoi
    What is Count Haizerad even thinking?!
[17:22] Jaccoi
    What does he think I'm paying
    him all that money for?!
[17:27] Jaccoi
    Those stupid farmers will go bankrupt
    in no time, so I can leave them be.
[17:32] Jaccoi
    Raising a fuss over every little
    thing is what small-timers do.
[17:39] Jaccoi
    Those fools will be gone before you know it.
[18:08] Customer
    Give me that! Give me that!
[18:10] Customer
    Give me mayo!
[18:15] Masato
    Thank you, come again!
[18:17] Elch
    We finally get a break.
[18:19] Masato
    Don't slack off.
[18:21] Masato
    Good grief, the big part is yet to come.
[18:24] Masato
    Rooko, make sure you tidy up, okay?
[18:25] Roo
    Mayo, mayo, mayo.
[18:32] Klaus
    Would you sell me a container
    of mayonnaise as well?
[18:37] Klaus
    Nice to meet you.
[18:39] Klaus
    I am the captain of the
    merchant fleet Sea Serpent.
[18:43] Klaus
    My name is Klaus.
[18:46] Masato
    I've been waiting.
[18:47] Masato
    I'd love to have you try some of this for us.
[19:02] Masato
    Sea Serpent.
[19:04] Masato
    The grand merchant fleet handling
    maritime trade out of Eastern Freyjagard.
[19:09] Masato
    I've heard much about you.
[19:11] Klaus
    What a coincidence.
[19:13] Klaus
    I happened to hear of a new trading company
[19:16] ---
    doing some interesting
    business here in Dormundt.
[19:51] Jaccoi
    S-Sea Serpent switched sides?!
[19:55] Jaccoi
    W-Well, fine.
[20:00] Jaccoi
    Starting tomorrow, we'll open a
    market in the central plaza too.
[20:04] Jaccoi
    This is war!
[20:06] Jaccoi
    I'll make them regret making an enemy
[20:09] ---
    out of the Neutscheland Trading Company!
[20:21] Roo
    Coins.
[20:23] Roo
    So...
[20:24] Roo
    m-many...
[20:26] Roo
    coins!
[20:32] Masato
    What's wrong, Elch?
[20:33] Elch
    Oh, nothing.
[20:36] Masato
    Worried about Neutscheland?
[20:40] Elcha
    W-Well, yeah.
[20:43] Shinobu
    That's an incredible amount of coins!
[20:46] Masato
    Use the damn door.
[20:49] Shinobu
    Business is thriving, I see!
[20:54] Shinobu
    Hmm, so this girl is Roo-chan, huh?
[20:58] Shinobu
    Looks like she can't hear me.
[21:00] Masato
    I think she's even more
    fond of money than I am.
[21:04] Shinobu
    Wow, that suggests a promising future.
[21:08] Masato
    Since you're here,
    I'm guessing they're making their move?
[21:12] Shinobu
    Bingo!
[21:14] Shinobu
    They're planning to go to war,
    starting tomorrow.
[21:18] Elch
    W-War?!
[21:20] Masato
    They're going to start buying up goods
[21:22] ---
    and selling them with no mind
    for profit on either end.
[21:25] Masato
    It's basically a free-for-all.
[21:30] Masato
    They must have confidence
    in going blow for blow.
[21:33] Masato
    It's certainly not a bad play, though.
[21:37] Masato
    No.
[21:38] Masato
    It's not a bad one.
[21:40] Masato
    But only if they had gone with it
    on our first day.
[21:54] Elch
    Wh-What?!
[21:56] Elch
    Who are they?!
[21:59] Masato
    The blades that will kill off
    Neutscheland for me.
