SIGN    Kingdom of Brancott Castle, Main Gate 
    The Day of the Party
SIGN    Stolen from the Baron
SIGN    Commandeered
[00:11] Guard
    Did you come here alone, miss?
[00:13] Kaoru
    Yes. My invitation is right here.
[00:17] Guard
    This is...
[00:22] Guard
    Those eyes...
[00:23] Guard
    They're the eyes of a villainess who's
    used to bullying those beneath her!
[00:26] Guard
    There's no doubt about it!
[00:28] Guard
    F-Forgive me!
SIGN    I'm Gonna Go Speak My Mind at the Castle!
SIGN    The Day Before the Party
[02:05] (Flashback) Eme
    What? You're leaving town?
[02:07] (Flashback) Agathe
    But why, all of a sudden?
[02:09] (Flashback) Kaoru
    I got a letter summoning me.
[02:12] (Flashback) Kaoru
    It seems like I've caught the
    attention of someone important.
[02:18] (Flashback) Kaoru
    So I figured I'd quietly leave
    town before things get messy.
[02:23] (Flashback) Kaoru
    But I wanted to tell the people
    who helped me out what's going on,
[02:26] (Flashback) Kaoru
    and give them all a proper goodbye.
[02:28] (Flashback) Owner
    We'll miss you.
[02:35] Kaoru
    The letter turned out to be an invitation.
[02:38] Kaoru
    An order, in fact, to attend a
    party at the castle one week later.
[02:44] (Flashback) Eme
    But we just got to be friends!
[02:47] (Flashback) Agathe
    Take care, Kaoru.
    Don't forget about us, okay?
[02:51] (Flashback) Kaoru
    Sure. Thanks for everything.
[02:54] Kaoru
    I doubt they found out about my potions.
[02:56] Kaoru
    But if I ignore this order, it'll cause
    trouble for all these people.
[03:00] Kaoru
    So...
[03:03] Kaoru
    I won't run away. I'll settle
    everything before I leave.
[03:09] MotherB
    Bear with it!
[03:11] MotherB
    This is an important night! The crown
    prince will be choosing his future queen!
[03:15] MotherB
    You must catch his eye, whatever it takes!
[03:17] Kaoru
    Put away my dress and give
    me a maid outfit instead.
[03:25] Kaoru
    Man, Item Box is the best!
[03:27] MotherB
    Come on! Show more cleavage!
[03:29] MotherB
    The crown prince is a man, after all.
[03:32] MotherB
    You must appeal to him
    with your womanly charms!
[03:35] LadyB
    And what do you want?
[03:36] Kaoru
    Nothing. I apologize.
[03:40] MotherB
    Whose maid was that?
[03:42] LadyB
    Who knows?
[03:43] LadyB
    I can't imagine what someone was thinking,
    bringing a maid with such scary eyes.
[03:51] Fernand
    Why? Why isn't she here?!
[03:53] Allan
    What's wrong? Why the scary face?
[03:56] Allan
    I mean, I guess I can understand.
[03:59] Allan
    This is an important night for you.
[04:02] Fabio
    But is that any reason to scare all
    your potential marriage candidates?
[04:06] Fernand
    I'm waiting for someone.
[04:09] Allan
    Is there someone you've already decided on?
SIGN    Bingo
[04:13] Allan
    Well? Who is it?
[04:15] Fabio
    Well? Who is it?
[04:17] Fernand
    She's not here.
[04:18] Allan/Fabio
    Huh?
[04:19] Fernand
    She's not even here!
[04:21] Fernand
    I personally wrote an invitation
    and had it delivered to her!
[04:27] Fernand
    Can you believe that?!
[04:28] Fernand
    How could such a thing be possible?!
[04:30] Allan
    I mean, yeah, it seems implausible.
[04:33] Allan
    The one chosen by you is promised
    the throne of the future queen.
[04:37] Allan
    It would take a very strange
    girl to throw that away.
[04:41] Fabio
    Oh, speaking of strange...
[04:43] Fabio
    I saw that girl a moment ago.
[04:45] Fabio
    The one from the restaurant
    downtown, Kaoru...
[04:48] Fernand
    Where was she?!
[04:49] Fabio
    Serving guests in the main hall.
[04:51] Fabio
    She seemed busy, so I didn't speak to her...
[04:57] Allan
    Hey!
[05:00] Allan
    Don't tell me he...
[05:03] Fernand
    Why are you here dressed like that?
[05:09] Kaoru
    I knew it was him.
[05:11] Kaoru
    Because I'm a waitress.
[05:13] Kaoru
    What other clothes would I wear?
[05:15] Fernand
    That's not what I'm talking about!
[05:18] Fernand
    You are my personally invited guest!
[05:21] Kaoru
    Well, when a commoner girl
    who works as a waitress
[05:24] Kaoru
    is told to come to a party at
    the castle with no explanation,
[05:28] Kaoru
    why wouldn't she think it was for work?
[05:30] Kaoru
    I don't even have a dress to wear.
[05:32] Fernand
    What?
[05:33] Fernand
    Where is Viscount Aleman?!
[05:34] Aleman
    R-Right here, Your Highness!
[05:37] Fernand
    What is the meaning of this?
[05:39] Fernand
    I'm certain I told you
[05:42] Fernand
    that when you gave the invitation
    to Kaoru at Big Belly Bistro,
[05:44] Fernand
    you were to include a dress,
    shoes, and jewelry along with it!
[05:49] Aleman
    B-But I did deliver those things!
[05:53] Kaoru
    Yes, this man did come to the restaurant.
[05:56] Kaoru
    But he only said "take this" through
    the window of his carriage,
[06:00] Kaoru
    handed me a letter to get me
    into the castle, and left.
[06:04] Fernand
    Where's the dress? The jewelry?
[06:06] Kaoru
    I don't know.
[06:07] Aleman
    She's lying!
[06:08] Aleman
    I delivered a box containing
    the clothing and the jewelry!
[06:12] Kaoru
    A box?
[06:14] Kaoru
    By any chance, do you mean the package that
    was delivered to the business next to ours?
[06:19] Kaoru
    Since you didn't say anything to me,
[06:21] Kaoru
    I believed it was for our neighbors.
[06:25] Kaoru
    And I can't just go around
    opening other people's packages.
[06:29] Kaoru
    So I left it alone, and it
     was gone in no time.
[06:34] Fernand
    Viscount Aleman.
[06:36] Fernand
    We will have a long talk about this later.
[06:41] Aleman
    Y-Yes, Your Highness.
[06:43] Fernand
    Well, no matter. At least
    she received the invitation.
[06:48] Fernand
    Come! I'm introducing you
    to everyone as my fiancée!
[06:51] Kaoru
    What?!
[06:53] King/Queen
    What?!
[06:54] Ladies
    What?!
[06:55] All
    What?!
[06:58] Fernand
    Come, Kaoru. You can stay in that outfit.
[07:01] Fernand
    You must greet my mother and father.
[07:03] Kaoru
    Wh-What nonsense are you spouting?!
[07:06] Kaoru
    A commoner can't be engaged to a prince!
[07:09] Fernand
    That's easy.
[07:11] Fernand
    We'll just get you adopted into the
    family of some count or something.
[07:14] Kaoru
    You're going about this in the wrong order!
[07:17] Kaoru
    An engagement after I'm adopted
    by a count would be one thing,
[07:19] Kaoru
    but getting adopted after 
    we're already engaged?
[07:22] Fernand
    It's fine! It doesn't bother me!
[07:24] Kaoru
    First of all, you're already making a big show
SIGN    My Fiancée
SIGN    Commoner + Waitress
[07:27] Kaoru
    of announcing that your fiancée is a commoner,
     and just a girl who works as a waitress.
[07:32] Kaoru
    No one will accept me as a noble now!
[07:34] Kaoru
    They'll gossip and
    ridicule me behind my back.
[07:37] Kaoru
    It will only end up sullying
    the royal family's name!
[07:42] Kaoru
    And the biggest problem of all...
[07:44] Kaoru
    Your Highness! Have you even 
    asked me if I want to marry you?
[07:50] Fernand
    Huh?
[07:51] Kaoru
    Well, I don't. Marrying a
    prince is off the table.
[07:54] Kaoru
    I absolutely refuse!
[07:56] All
    What?!
[07:58] Kaoru
    Being a queen ranks among the top
    three jobs I never want to have!
[08:07] Kaoru
    If I become queen, I can
    kiss my privacy goodbye.
[08:09] Kaoru
    I won't be allowed to be
    friends with certain people.
[08:12] Kaoru
    I'll have to smile and exchange
    pleasantries with people I hate.
[08:15] Kaoru
    A wet nurse will take away my children
    as I drown in official business.
[08:19] Kaoru
    Plus, I'll be pressured to keep birthing sons,
[08:21] Kaoru
    as well as some daughters for
    the more diplomatic roles.
[08:25] Kaoru
    I'll be physically and emotionally worn down,
[08:28] Kaoru
    while in the meantime, my husband is
    off snoozing in his mistress's bed.
[08:34] Kaoru
    There's nothing to enjoy in a life like that.
[08:40] Fernand
    M-Mother!
[08:43] Kaoru
    It's basically the same if you marry into
    the family of a marquis or count, right?
[08:48] Kaoru
    You hardly ever get to leave your mansion,
[08:50] Kaoru
    and parties are just for
    sizing each other up.
[08:52] Kaoru
    You don't have any true friends at all.
SIGN    Hurry up and produce an heir
SIGN    Uphold the family customs
SIGN    You belong to this family now
SIGN    You don't get to go home
[08:56] Kaoru
    You're pressured to hurry
    up and produce an heir,
[08:58] Kaoru
    your parents-in-law expect you
    to uphold their family customs,
[09:03] Kaoru
    you're not allowed to visit your own family,
[09:05] Kaoru
    and your husband cheats on you
    because it's just what nobles do.
[09:11] Kaoru
    Though, as far as that goes,
    viscounts and barons have it easy.
[09:15] Kaoru
    Although they hold noble ranks,
    they're removed from the power struggles.
[09:20] Kaoru
    They're close with all their servants,
[09:22] Kaoru
    and they can probably even
    raise their own kids.
[09:25] Kaoru
    They can live easy lives in the country,
    surrounded by their family and subjects.
[09:30] Kaoru
    That's what my idea of an ideal marriage is.
[09:34] Kaoru
    I don't want a life where I'm
    high-ranking but miserable,
[09:37] Kaoru
    drowning in unhappiness and boredom every day.
[09:41] Kaoru
    I'll leave that to the noblewomen who
    live in luxury on the people's taxes,
[09:44] Kaoru
    and who are resolved to fully give
    themselves to the kingdom
[09:49] Kaoru
    in exchange for a higher education.
[09:51] Fernand
    I don't care about all that!
[09:53] Fernand
    It's your knowledge and wisdom that I want!
[09:57] Fernand
    With your intelligence and good looks,
[10:01] Fernand
    you and I could make this
    kingdom even more—
[10:03] Kaoru
    Knowledge and wisdom?
[10:04] Kaoru
    Intelligence and good looks?
[10:06] Kaoru
    Those are all just things that
    you can take advantage of!
[10:10] Fernand
    W-Well...
[10:12] Kaoru
    Where does what I want fit in?
[10:14] Kaoru
    Do the feelings of the human
    being named Kaoru mean nothing?
[10:18] Kaoru
    Is that something a prince doesn't
    even need to bother thinking about?
[10:22] Fernand
    I-I...
[10:35] Kaoru
    Look. Now I'm an ugly, foolish girl.
[10:39] Kaoru
    Just a commoner who offers
    no value or advantage to a prince.
[10:46] Kaoru
    Now you don't need me anymore, right?
[10:51] Fabio
    Let her go.
[10:53] Fabio
    That's the only thing you can do right now.
[10:55] Allan
    We'll get things under control here.
[11:01] Kaoru
    Ow! Ow! Ow!
[11:03] Kaoru
    It hurts!
[11:08] Kaoru
    Just a potion to stop bleeding and pain.
[11:11] Kaoru
    I can't use a healing potion yet.
[11:13] Kaoru
    I need to get out of the capital first!
[11:24] Guard
    Miss...
[11:25] Guard
    You're bleeding! What in the world happened?!
[11:28] Kaoru
    I upset a noble.
[11:30] Kaoru
    I must leave this city at once.
[11:34] Guard
    Wait just a minute.
[11:39] Guard
    It's not much, but take these.
[11:42] Guard
    Get moving. I'll pretend I never saw you.
[11:44] Kaoru
    Thank you so much.
[11:51] Kaoru
    Healing potion!
[11:57] Kaoru
    There's no way they'll
    chase me this far, right?
[12:00] Kaoru
    Ah, I feel so much better!
[12:04] Abilly
    Wow...
[12:06] Abilly
    So discounting items right before
    the store closed backfired?
[12:09] Kaoru
    Yes.
[12:10] Kaoru
    Customers would just wait
    until they reduced the prices,
[12:13] Kaoru
    so sales of items at the
    regular price plummeted.
[12:16] Abilly
    I see!
[12:17] Abilly
    So are there any effective sales
    methods other than discounts?
[12:22] Kaoru
    Well, there's always...
[12:25] Abilly
    What an interesting girl!
[12:26] Abilly
    Imagine having the business knowledge to
    debate with Abilly here at such a young age!
[12:31] Abilly
    Say, Kaoru, would you be
    interested in working for me?
[12:35] Abilly
    Ah, peddling is sort of
    a hobby of mine, you see.
[12:39] Abilly
    I'm Johan Abilly, the owner of
    the one and only Abilly Company!
[12:43] Abilly
    We're one of the biggest
    stores in the capital!
[12:45] Abilly
    I'd say it's a good dea—
[12:46] Kaoru
    I appreciate the offer, but no thanks.
[12:48] Abilly
    Huh?!
[12:50] Kaoru
    Hup.
[12:52] Kaoru
    I have to take care of my
    registration, so I'll get off here.
[12:56] Kaoru
    Thank you very much for the ride.
[13:01] Kaoru
    Bye, now.
[13:03] Abilly
    Uh... but we're the Abilly Company
    that gets a barrage of
[13:07] Abilly
    new employee applications
    every year, though.
[13:10] Kaoru
    I appreciate his offer,
[13:12] Kaoru
    but doing grunt work for a big trade
    company comes with a lot of stress,
[13:15] Kaoru
    and probably long hours of hard labor.
[13:18] Kaoru
    And what I want is...
SIGN    Royal Capital Grua 
    Employment Agency
[13:21] Aria
    What?
[13:23] Aria
    A live-in job that offers a lot of free time?
SIGN    Gilda from
     the Hunters' Guild
SIGN    Hmph
SIGN    Hmph
SIGN    Hmph
[13:27] Kaoru
    Why does this feel like déjà vu?
[13:29] Kaoru
    Are all receptionist ladies
    in this world the same?
[13:32] Kaoru
    Yes. I want to save money and
    eventually open my own business.
[13:37] Kaoru
    I was hoping to study for that.
[13:39] Aria
    Huh...
[13:40] Aria
    All right. Can you cook and clean?
[13:43] Kaoru
    Yes, as well as anyone.
[13:45] Aria
    Here you go.
[13:47] Aria
    The terms aren't that bad, really.
[13:50] Aria
    Can't say whether you'll last, though.
[13:55] Kaoru
    Live-in help.
[13:57] Kaoru
    Duties include preparing meals for the workshop
    owner and craftsmen, totaling five people,
[14:01] Kaoru
    as well as cleaning,
    laundry, and other chores.
[14:04] Kaoru
    I can choose my own time off,
[14:06] Kaoru
    I'm allowed to go out,
    and I get holidays off, too.
SIGN    Meyer Workshop
[14:12] Kaoru
    The Meyer Workshop.
[14:14] Kaoru
    Man, the terms of this job 
    are almost too favorable!
[14:19] Bardot
    I'm Bardot, the owner of this workshop.
[14:23] Bardot
    Sorry, but you should consider these
    first few days a trial period.
[14:27] Bardot
    Everyone we hire quits almost immediately,
[14:29] Bardot
    and the referral fees are piling up.
[14:31] Bardot
    The agency's made an exception to let me
    hold off on paying a referral fee this time.
[14:36] Kaoru
    Oh...
[14:37] Bardot
    Boy, I sure am glad you're here!
[14:42] Bardot
    Let me introduce you to everyone.
[14:45] Bardot
    If you don't think you can handle it,
     let me know right away.
[14:48] Bardot
    I'm used to that, so I won't be hurt.
[14:50] Bardot
    Okay, boys, wake up!
    This is our new helper, Kaoru!
[14:55] Brian/Alban
    That's great...
[14:56] Bardot
    This is Brian, Alban, and Carlos.
[14:59] Bardot
    Hey! Wake up, Asil!
[15:02] Kaoru
    What is that smell?
[15:04] (Flashback) Aria
    Can't say whether you'll last, though.
[15:06] Kaoru
    So that's what she meant.
[15:08] Kaoru
    But I have...
[15:10] Kaoru
    my potions!
[15:12] Carlos
    Wow! Even those tough grease stains are gone!
[15:18] Alban
    They're so white, they're blinding me!
[15:20] Brian
    And so soft!
[15:25] Asil
    Even the food we had back
    home wasn't this good!
[15:30] Kaoru
    I didn't move anything that
    already has its own place.
[15:33] Kaoru
    The notes that were scattered
    on the floor are over there.
[15:35] Kaoru
    I didn't touch any chemicals
    or experimental materials.
[15:40] Bardot
    What is that I smell?
[15:42] Kaoru
    Kaoru's special deodorizing spray,
[15:45] Kaoru
    made with tea and plant extracts.
[15:50] Kaoru
    And so my new life as a helper began.
[15:57] Kaoru
    You're really into your work, Asil.
[15:59] Kaoru
    What's that you're making?
[16:01] Asil
    A hip flask.
[16:02] Asil
    It's a container made to hold drinks
    with high alcoholic content.
[16:06] Asil
    It's not one of the fancy
    silver ones meant for nobles,
[16:09] Asil
    but ours are both lightweight and tough.
[16:11] Asil
    They sell well in this town.
[16:13] Kaoru
    Wow...
[16:15] Kaoru
    That's it! Even if I don't
    sell the potions themselves,
[16:18] Kaoru
    if I could sell just the containers.
[16:21] Asil
    Research is important, too,
[16:22] Asil
    but we have to make products like
    this to sell every now and then.
[16:26] Asil
    Not that we make a lot of
    profit off of them, but...
[16:29] Kaoru
    Say...
[16:31] Kaoru
    Would things like glass bottles sell well?
[16:35] Asil
    Hmm... I don't think ordinary
    bottles would cut it.
[16:38] Asil
    Maybe if it was a perfume
    bottle with a fancy design.
[16:45] Kaoru
    My ability...
[16:47] Kaoru
    is the power to create potions
    with any effect I want.
[16:52] Kaoru
    And those potions appear in whatever
    container I imagine for them.
[16:59] Kaoru
    A friend of mine made
    this during work breaks.
[17:04] Brian
    Are you kidding?
[17:05] Carlos
    They made this during their free time?
[17:07] Alban
    The craftsmanship, the
    clarity of the glass...
[17:10] Alban
    Even artisans acclaimed as masters are
    rarely able to make anything like this!
[17:14] Bardot
    Yeah...
[17:15] Kaoru
    Oops. Guess I went too far.
[17:17] Bardot
    Would you let me meet your friend?
[17:20] Bardot
    I want to know more about this.
[17:22] Kaoru
    Ah, no, she only makes these as a hobby.
[17:25] Kaoru
    Her family is strict.
[17:27] Kaoru
    Plus, she has a fear of men.
[17:30] Asil
    A woman made this?
[17:32] Kaoru
    Well, yes,
[17:33] Kaoru
    which is why she can't really
    be too open about it.
[17:38] Kaoru
    But she said that if she could sell them to
    a certain demographic through this workshop,
[17:43] Kaoru
    she'd accept a job making them on commission.
[17:47] Kaoru
    Of course, she'll charge a handling fe—
[17:49] Bardot
    We would be thrilled to!
[17:52] Kaoru
    And now, I'm living a peaceful life.
[17:57] Kaoru
    Between my pay for helping out
[17:59] Kaoru
    and the profits from the
    perfume bottles, I have plenty of money.
[18:02] Kaoru
    When I'm not working, I often
    visit the town library.
[18:07] Kaoru
    Thanks to that, I have a fair amount
    of knowledge about this world now.
[18:11] Kaoru
    Now all I need is to find a patron,
    solidify my own position,
[18:15] Kaoru
    and live even more freely.
[18:17] Kaoru
    I was lucky enough to reincarnate
    with an overpowered skill.
[18:21] Kaoru
    Now if I can just establish
    my own place here,
[18:23] Kaoru
    I'll have the freedom to
    be a little more proactive.
[18:26] Kaoru
    Using my potions to help
    people might be nice.
[18:31] Kaoru
    It'd be boring to just
    work as a helper forever.
[18:38] Owner
    Hey!
[18:40] Owner
    Don't you want to chase him?!
    He stole your money pouch!
[18:42] Owner
    That kid's the leader of a gang of vagabonds
    who have their base around here.
[18:48] Kaoru
    It's all right. That one was a dummy.
[18:51] Owner
    A dummy?
[18:52] Kaoru
    My real money pouch is in my Item Box.
[18:55] Kaoru
    The one he stole was rigged
    with a little extra something.
[18:59] Kaoru
    He won't get away.
[19:08] Kaoru
    It's Kosha's mom today, right?
[19:10] Emil
    Yeah. She was doing honest work,
[19:13] Emil
    but a noble got violent with
    her for his own amusement.
[19:15] Emil
    She's hurt too bad to move.
[19:20] Kaoru
    There's something I've learned
    while living in this world.
[19:24] Kaoru
    Even a country that might
    seem peaceful at a glance
[19:26] Kaoru
    is full of problems just under the surface.
[19:30] Kaoru
    Nobles are privileged enough
    to live in affluence,
[19:34] Kaoru
    but commoners, especially
    the ones living in poverty,
[19:37] Kaoru
    aren't even treated as human beings.
[19:40] Kaoru
    No matter how diligently they work,
    they can't make a decent living.
[19:44] Kaoru
    The orphaned kids, in particular,
    have to resort to crime to stay alive.
[19:49] Kaoru
    That kind of world is wrong.
[20:17] Kosha
    Who is it?
[20:18] Kaoru
    I'm coming in.
[20:19] Kosha
    O-Okay.
[20:22] Mom
    What is it?
[20:23] Kosha
    Someone's here.
[20:25] Kaoru
    It's nice to meet you, Kosha.
[20:27] Kaoru
    I'm a chemist.
[20:29] Kaoru
    Celes-certified.
[20:30] Kosha
    Celes?
[20:32] Kaoru
    Yeah. Maybe you're more familiar
    with the name "Celestine"?
[20:36] Kosha
    The goddess?!
[20:37] Kaoru
    I'd like to give your mother some medicine.
[20:40] Kaoru
    May I?
[20:41] Kosha
    Yeah!
[20:45] Kaoru
    I bestow healing upon those
    with righteous hearts!
[20:51] Kaoru
    Here, drink this.
[20:53] Mom
    O-Okay...
[21:02] Mom
    The wounds... The pain...
[21:05] Kosha
    Mommy!
[21:07] Mom
    Kosha! Oh, Kosha!
[21:14] Mom
    Wh-Who are you?
[21:17] Kaoru
    Well... I'm sort of a friend
    of Celes, sort of a chemist...
[21:21] Mom
    You are most exalted!
    How can I ever thank you?
[21:25] Kaoru
    Well, I'll accept payment for the medicine.
[21:28] Kaoru
    You can just give me whatever you can spare.
[21:30] Mom
    I'm sorry... I haven't been able to work,
     so I don't have anything.
[21:35] Kaoru
    Then your fee today will be...
[21:38] Kaoru
    Nothing beats the smooth,
    squishy cheeks of a little girl!
[21:43] Kaoru
    I decided to start working under the
    identity of "the goddess Celestine's friend."
[21:49] Kaoru
    I use information brought to me by children
[21:52] Kaoru
    to help people suffering
    from illness or injury.
[21:55] Kaoru
    Quietly, bit by bit,
[21:58] Kaoru
    I'm bringing the goddess's blessing
    to those with righteous hearts.
[22:00] Kaoru
    That's the work of the secret society
    known as "The Eyes of the Goddess."
[22:04] Kaoru
    The Eyes of the Goddess...
[22:06] Kaoru
    see everything!
