SIGN    Kingdom of Balmore, Royal Capital Grua
    Abilly Company
[00:01] Abilly
    O Goddess,
[00:03] Abilly
    as well as her angel, from the rumors...
[00:06] Abilly
    I, Johan Abilly, have always
    walked the path of righteousness.
[00:10] Abilly
    Please save my daughter.
[00:13] Abilly
    What is it?
[00:15] Servant
    Sir...
[00:17] Servant
    This person says she is a chemist.
[00:22] Kaoru
    Huh? The peddler?
[00:24] Abilly
    What? Kaoru?!
SIGN    I'm Going into Angel Mode to Fight Back!
[01:59] Abilly
    Boy, I never would have guessed
    you'd be the goddess's angel!
[02:04] Kaoru
    Yeah, well, it's a long story.
[02:07] Abilly
    But what brings you to my house?
[02:09] Abilly
    The rumors say that the angel visits only
    poor folks, who can't afford medicine.
[02:14] Kaoru
    Blessings upon those with righteous hearts.
[02:17] Kaoru
    I know the truth, Abilly.
[02:19] Kaoru
    You've been giving food to the poor, right?
[02:21] Abilly
    Y-Yes...
[02:23] Kaoru
    That's how I found out about Amelie.
[02:25] Kaoru
    The Eyes of the Goddess don't miss anything.
[02:28] Abilly
    I see... So it's true...
[02:30] Abilly
    Good deeds really are repaid in kind.
[02:34] Abilly
    Oh, I'm so grateful!
[02:37] Kaoru
    I help people out using potions.
[02:39] Kaoru
    There are good people even
    among the rich and powerful,
[02:42] Kaoru
    and some of them need help, too.
[02:44] Kaoru
    Besides, if I want to find
    a patron in this city,
[02:48] Kaoru
    I can't avoid talking to influential people.
[02:50] Kaoru
    In which case...
[02:52] Abilly
    So, what do I need to do?
[02:55] Abilly
    I hear you seek only meager
    offerings from poor folk...
[02:59] Abilly
    But I, Johan Abilly, will give you
    my entire fortune if you wish it!
[03:03] Kaoru
    All right, let's do this.
[03:05] Kaoru
    You can't reveal my true identity to anyone,
[03:07] Kaoru
    and if you get a request for help,
[03:09] Kaoru
    you must do everything you can to grant it.
[03:13] Abilly
    Is... that all?
[03:16] Kaoru
    Yes.
[03:17] Kaoru
    To secure both tangible and intangible help
[03:18] Kaoru
    from the powerful, all under
    the pretext of an offering...
[03:22] Kaoru
    That's the other goal of
    the work I'm doing now.
[03:25] Kaoru
    If I can help others,
    that's two birds with one stone.
[03:28] Kaoru
    It's a pretty wicked—I mean,
    well-executed scheme, if I do say so myself.
[03:33] Kaoru
    Oh, also...
[03:35] Kaoru
    May I take this?
[03:39] Kaoru
    Here. A little gift from my travels.
[03:43] Kaoru
    Share them equally between all of you, okay?
[03:48] Emil
    Kaoru...
[03:49] Kaoru
    What is it, Emil?
[03:51] Emil
    Hey, so...
[03:54] Emil
    Thanks... for everything.
[03:56] Kaoru
    You don't need to thank me.
[03:58] Kaoru
    You guys got me information on Amelie.
[04:01] Kaoru
    It's fair payment, don't you think?
[04:05] Emil
    Yeah... That's right!
[04:07] Emil
    We're the secret organization,
    Eyes of the Goddess, after all!
[04:11] Kaoru
    Yeah, uh, about that name...
[04:13] Emil
    Yes?
[04:15] Kaoru
    Can we drop it?
[04:16] Kids
    No way!
[04:18] Kaoru
    So as for how the secret organization,
    Eyes of the Goddess...
[04:22] Kaoru
    Oh, man, I'm embarrassed to even say it!
[04:25] Kaoru
    ...came to be, and how
    I ended up leading it...
[04:35] (Flashback) Kaoru
    Found you!
[04:39] (Flashback) Kaoru
    Stealing from a goddess...
[04:41] (Flashback) Kaoru
    Do you not value your own life, boy?
[04:44] (Flashback) Emil
    G-Goddess?
[04:46] (Flashback) Kaoru
    The next divine punishment
    won't be nearly this light.
[04:51] (Flashback) Emil
    Please forgive me!
[04:55] Kaoru
    The potion I hid in my money pouch
[04:57] Kaoru
    was one that temporarily
    causes pain and swelling.
[05:00] Kaoru
    The injury would've healed itself within days.
[05:03] (Flashback) Emil
    W-Wow!
[05:05] (Flashback) Kaoru
    So tell me. Why were you stealing?
[05:08] (Flashback) Emil
    Because... my friend, Belle, is in bad shape.
[05:13] (Flashback) Emil
    I wanted to at least get her good food—
[05:14] (Flashback) Kaoru
    Where?
[05:16] (Flashback) Kaoru
    Where is this Belle now?
[05:20] (Flashback) Kaoru
    Drink this.
[05:30] (Flashback) Emil
    Belle!
[05:31] (Flashback) Kids
    Belle!
[05:34] (Flashback) Kaoru
    You'll be okay now.
[05:36] (Flashback) Emil
    Belle!
[05:37] (Flashback) Emil
    I'm so glad! Isn't this great?
[05:39] (Flashback) Belle
    Yeah!
[05:41] (Flashback) Kaoru
    Everyone, line up!
[05:43] (Flashback) Kaoru
    I'm Kaoru, a friend of Celestine.
[05:47] (Flashback) Kaoru
    Some things happened, and now I'm
    living as a human in this world.
[05:51] (Flashback) Kaoru
    But as long as I'm here, I'd like to hand out
[05:54] (Flashback) Kaoru
    a few blessings to those
    with righteous hearts.
[05:57] (Flashback) Kaoru
    To do that, I need people
    to be my eyes and ears
[06:01] (Flashback) Kaoru
    to help me find people in need of help.
[06:04] (Flashback) Kaoru
    You'll be rewarded with healthy bodies
[06:07] (Flashback) Kaoru
    and enough food to keep yourselves alive.
[06:10] (Flashback) Kaoru
    Are you kids interested in helping me?
[06:13] (Flashback) Emil
    With pleasure!
[06:14] (Flashback) Kids
    Yes, ma'am!
[06:15] Kaoru
    That's how the secret organization,
    Eyes of the Goddess, was founded.
[06:19] Kaoru
    The kids' job is to carry out undercover
    intel operations in the city,
[06:23] Kaoru
    and I grant blessings based on
    the information they bring me.
[06:26] Kaoru
    The rumors of an angel sent by the
    goddess spread throughout the city.
[06:32] Kaoru
    It might finally be time to take the plunge.

[06:35] Kaoru
    Huh? What did you say?
[06:37] Asil
    Er, I said...
[06:39] Asil
    I want to introduce you to
    my family as my fiancée!
[06:43] Carlos
    Your family? You're a third son,
    but you're still nobility, right?
[06:47] Asil
    Yes, my father is Viscount Leotar.
[06:50] Alban
    But Kaoru is a commoner.
[06:53] Brian
    A romance between different classes, huh?
[06:55] Kaoru
    Wh-What is happening right now?!
[06:58] Kaoru
    I did think Asil had been acting
    kind of strange lately, but...
[07:05] Kaoru
    Have I actually hit peak popularity?!
[07:08] Asil
    Please! Just for one day!
[07:10] Kaoru
    Huh?
[07:11] Asil
    My older brother's birthday
    party is coming up!
[07:13] Asil
    My father's been pestering me to
    choose a marriage partner there!
[07:17] Asil
    But I don't want to get married yet!
[07:19] Asil
    If you'll pretend to be my fiancée there,
[07:22] Asil
    I can escape this crisis!
[07:24] Kaoru
    Oh. So that's it.
SIGN    Home of Viscount Leotar
    The Day of the Party
[07:34] Asil
    K-Kaoru?
[07:36] Kaoru
    Thanks for inviting me here, Asil.
[07:39] Asil
    Uh, sure...
[07:41] FriendA
    Hey, Asil, whose daughter is she?
[07:43] FriendB
    Is this your fiancée?
[07:45] Asil
    Oh, er... She's...
[07:48] Asil
    A-Actually, she's sort
    of a friend from work...
[07:51] FriendA
    You must introduce me.
[07:53] FriendB
    Me too.
[07:54] Kaoru
    Hmph. That's the least you deserve
    for wounding a maiden's heart.
[07:58] Kaoru
    Go ahead. Feel awkward.
[08:00] Abilly
    Wow, that looks great on you!
[08:03] Kaoru
    Abilly!
[08:08] Kaoru
    Thank you for giving me this
    beautiful dress to wear today.
[08:11] Abilly
    Please! I could barely do anything at all!
[08:14] Abilly
    By the way, where did those
    accessories come from?
[08:17] Abilly
    I didn't prepare any, since you didn't ask...
[08:20] Kaoru
    What?
[08:21] Abilly
    Look around. All the women are
    staring at you with obvious envy.
[08:29] (Flashback) Kaoru
    Come forth, potion!
[08:31] Kaoru
    The potions I create appear in
    whatever container I imagine.
[08:36] Kaoru
    Oops. Did I go too far?
[08:40] Kaoru
    Who are those people?
[08:42] Abilly
    Oh, that's the ceremonial presentation
    of marriage proposals.
[08:46] Abilly
    All the ladies who wish to be considered
[08:49] Abilly
    as marriage candidates for
    the eldest son, Cedric,
[08:51] Abilly
    are waiting their turn to greet him.
[08:55] Abilly
    They give him a gift, just like that,
[08:57] Abilly
    to get him to remember their names and faces.
[09:00] Kaoru
    I'm going over there for a bit.
[09:03] Asil
    Kaoru?!
[09:04] Kaoru
    Change of plans! This is
    where I take the plunge!
[09:08] Kaoru
    The Eyes of the Goddess get
    me all kinds of information,
[09:12] Kaoru
    from rumors in town to
    nobles' internal affairs.
[09:15] Kaoru
    If I recall...
[09:17] Kaoru
    There it is!
[09:19] Kaoru
    Viscount Leotar's eldest son, Cedric...
[09:27] Kaoru
    Thank you for inviting me here today.
[09:31] Cedric
    Aren't you my youngest brother's...
[09:33] Kaoru
    Yes, I'm his friend.
[09:36] Kaoru
    Right?
[09:37] Asil
    Oh... yeah.
[09:38] Kaoru
    I'd like to give you a
    little gift as a greeting.
[09:44] Kaoru
    Could you call your servant,
     Calvin, out here?
[09:49] Cedric
    Why?
[09:51] Kaoru
    I've heard that Calvin
    once served as your guard.
[09:55] Kaoru
    But then, during a hunt,
[09:57] Kaoru
    he was badly injured protecting
    you from a gray bear's attack.
[10:02] Cedric
    Yes... My reckless actions got Calvin hurt.
[10:07] Cedric
    And he used to live for the sword...
[10:10] Kaoru
    Calvin, would you come over here, please?
[10:17] Cedric
    Come.
[10:26] Kaoru
    Ladies and gentlemen!
[10:28] Kaoru
    As you've just heard, Calvin here
[10:31] Kaoru
    is a loyal man who risked
    himself to protect his master.
[10:35] Kaoru
    And out of gratitude for his loyalty,
[10:38] Kaoru
    Master Cedric kept him at his
    side, despite his disability.
[10:41] Kaoru
    Any who believe these two men of righteous
    heart deserve the goddess's blessing,
[10:47] Kaoru
    please raise your hand.
[10:53] Kaoru
    Now, with your hands facing
    this way, make this wish:
[10:57] Kaoru
    May the goddess Celestine's
    blessing be with them!
[11:16] Kaoru
    Here. Drink this.
[11:39] Calvin
    My leg... It moves!
[11:42] Calvin
    I can move it!
[11:44] Cedric
    Calvin...
[11:45] Calvin
    Master Cedric... L-Look!
[11:48] Calvin
    See?! I can move it!
[11:51] Cedric
    Calvin!
[11:52] Calvin
    Master Cedric...
[11:54] Calvin
    Now... I can serve as your guard again.
[12:00] Cedric
    Yes... Calvin!
[12:03] GuestA
    I-It's a miracle!
[12:05] GuestB
    It truly is the goddess's blessing!
[12:07] Asil
    Kaoru... Who in the world are you?
SIGN    Kingdom of Balmore, Temple in the Royal Capital Grua
[12:16] Salazan
    You say an angel of the goddess
    appeared at this party?
[12:21] Subordinate
    Yes.
[12:22] Subordinate
    Her hair and eyes aren't the same color,
[12:25] Subordinate
    but it's possible she is the girl said
    to periodically appear in the slums
[12:29] Subordinate
    and grant blessings to people.
[12:30] Salazan
    Identify this girl at once.
[12:34] Salazan
    I don't care how you do it. Move!
[12:36] Subordinate
    Yes, sir.
[12:40] Salazan
    It's already been 53 years since the last
    time the goddess descended to our realm.
[12:45] Salazan
    The people desire a miracle.
[12:48] Salazan
    If we can corral this girl
    here at our temple...
SIGN    Meyer Workshop
[12:57] Asil
    K-Kaoru?!
[12:59] Asil
    What are you doing here?
[13:01] Kaoru
    What do you mean? I'm a
    live-in helper, remember?
[13:05] Kaoru
    Would you like to join us for breakfast?
[13:07] Asil
    W-Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
[13:11] Asil
    I've had it really rough
    since then, you know.
[13:14] Asil
    Kaoru, what the heck was that
    thing you used to heal Calvin?
[13:17] Kaoru
    Oh, it's a power I received from the goddess.
[13:21] Kaoru
    I can make potions that heal people.
[13:24] Asil
    Potions... that heal people? But... how?
[13:28] Kaoru
    I'm a friend of the goddess.
[13:30] Asil
    Huh?
[13:32] Cedric
    Asil! Asil, are you there?!
[13:38] Asil
    Th-This is...
[13:40] Cedric
    A summons from the royal family.
[13:42] Cedric
    A royal messenger came to our
    house early this morning.
[13:45] Cedric
    Kaoru, this is an order for you.
[13:48] Cedric
    A direct order from the king to
    appear at the castle tomorrow.
[13:54] Kaoru
    Huh?
[13:55] Cedric
    He must have heard what happened last night.
[13:58] Kaoru
    That was fast...
[13:59] Kaoru
    A lot faster than I expected!
[14:01] Kaoru
    Next-day service? What is this
    country's royal family, Ama**?!
[14:06] Kaoru
    All right. I'll be there.
SIGN    The Next Day
    Kingdom of Balmore, Castle
[14:10] Serge
    She's late! Too late!
[14:13] Serge
    We should have sent a carriage for her.
[14:15] Roland
    Don't be so impatient, Serge.
[14:17] Roland
    The angel herself requested that we
    send no pick-up or accompaniment.
[14:23] Roland
    The angel has already blessed the royal
    family through the knight Francette.
[14:28] Roland
    I'm sure she'll—
[14:29] Guard
    Your Majesty, Viscount Leotar has requested
[14:32] Guard
    an urgent audience regarding
    your meeting with the girl.
[14:35] Roland
    Let him in!
[14:37] Leotar
    And that is what I know.
[14:39] Roland
    So you're saying the girl
    definitely came to the castle?
[14:43] Leotar
    Yes, but through the back
    gate used by commoners,
[14:47] Leotar
    and wearing a commoner's attire.
[14:49] Serge
    Why would she do that?
[14:51] Leotar
    Well, about that...
[14:54] Asil
    You came back without even seeing him?! Why?!
[14:58] Kaoru
    What was I supposed to do? The guard
    at the back gate wouldn't let me in.
[15:03] Asil
    That can't be right...
[15:05] Kaoru
    I live in this kingdom as a commoner.
[15:09] Kaoru
    So I thought I should see the
    king dressed just like this.
[15:13] Asil
    Wait, you went to the castle in that?!
[15:17] Kaoru
    Yes. I tried going in through the
    back gate reserved for commoners...
[15:23] Kaoru
    Of course, I knew they'd stop me.
[15:26] Kaoru
    I took advantage of that to make*
    sure they'd never summon me again.
[15:32] (Flashback) Guard
    That's not happening, little girl.
[15:34] (Flashback) Kaoru
    But I was ordered to come
    see him this morning.
[15:38] (Flashback) Guard
    Listen, kid. We commoners can't get into
    the castle without a permission form,
[15:42] (Flashback) Guard
    much less get an audience with the king!
[15:45] (Flashback) Kaoru
    What should I do? This is a problem.
[15:48] (Flashback) Guard
    But hey, I'm willing to let you
    inside for the right price.
[15:53] (Flashback) Kaoru
    But I don't have any money.
[15:56] (Flashback) Guard
    Well, then, you can give me something else.
[16:01] (Flashback) Guard
    Like maybe your...
[16:03] (Flashback) Kaoru
    No! I can't do that!
[16:06] (Flashback) Guard
    Come on, it's not that big a—
[16:09] (Flashback) Kaoru
    Please spare me!
[16:10] (Flashback) Kaoru
    I'll never think about getting
    into the castle again!
[16:13] (Flashback) Kaoru
    And I'll never listen to the orders of
    the king or anyone else of high rank!
[16:18] (Flashback) Kaoru
    While in this kingdom, I will
    only live as I deem fit!
[16:22] (Flashback) Kaoru
    I swear to the goddess!
[16:24] (Flashback) Guard
    Hey, now, there's no need to go that far...
[16:26] Kaoru
    Going that far is precisely
    what gives my words meaning,
[16:29] Kaoru
    you sexual-harassing guard!
[16:31] Serge
    So, she made a vow to the goddess...
[16:33] Serge
    and that's why she can't meet us?
[16:35] Leotar
    Yes, I'm sorry to say.
[16:38] Serge
    How could this be?
[16:39] Serge
    We can't call her to the castle
    or even give her orders?
[16:43] Kaoru
    Yes, in this world, a vow
    to the goddess is absolute.
[16:48] Kaoru
    Not even royalty can overturn it.
[16:52] (Flashback) Kaoru
    And that's why I won't
    be going to the temple.
[16:54] (Flashback) Salazan
    B-Blasphemy! You refuse to obey
    an order from the holy temple?!
[16:59] (Flashback) Kaoru
    Yes. As I just said, a vow
    to the goddess is absolute.
[17:05] (Flashback) Kaoru
    Besides, I'm not a citizen of this kingdom,
[17:09] (Flashback) Kaoru
    so I don't think I'm obligated to obey the
    orders of someone from a kingdom temple.
[17:14] (Flashback) Kaoru
    So please leave now,
    Mister Important Bishop Man.
[17:18] (Flashback) Kaoru
    Would you mind stepping aside?
     You're in my way.
[17:22] (Flashback) Salazan
    H-Have you no fear of divine punishment?!
[17:25] (Flashback) Kaoru
    Divine punishment? Oh, you mean...
SIGN    Something Like Nitroglycerin
[17:37] (Flashback) Kaoru
    ...something like that?
[17:39] Kaoru
    Divine punishment was dealt to the
    clergyman who messed with the angel.
[17:43] Kaoru
    That fact quickly made its way to the castle.
[17:47] Kaoru
    And then the fighting began...
[17:50] Leotar
    I'm bringing Kaoru to my home,
    where she will meet the king!
[17:55] Sherra
    No, no! The angel will be brought to
    the temple to speak with the bishop!
[18:02] Kaoru
    That's enough!
[18:04] Leotar
    Kaoru!
[18:05] Sherra
    Angel!
[18:08] Kaoru
    In the end, to stop the fighting,
[18:11] Kaoru
    the royal family
[18:12] Kaoru
    and the temple
[18:14] Kaoru
    both agreed to send representatives
    for a public inquiry.
[18:20] Kaoru
    We will now begin our
    question-and-answer session.
[18:24] Kaoru
    I have a question for all of you first.
[18:26] Kaoru
    I'm just a commoner.
[18:28] Kaoru
    Why did both of you want an audience with me?
[18:32] Serge
    I think it's obvious that the king
    would want to meet the angel.
[18:36] Kaoru
    Really? Why?
[18:38] Kaoru
    Even if I went to the castle,
    I'd have nothing to say,
[18:41] Kaoru
    nor anything to do there.
[18:43] Serge
    Huh? W-Well... don't you have some divine
    message or blessing from the goddess?
[18:49] Kaoru
    No, I don't.
[18:52] Roland
    But you granted a blessing to
    me through the knight Francette.
[18:57] Roland
    And that's not all.
    You've saved people in the capital.
[19:01] Kaoru
    Oh, right. This is the guy that
    woman knight gave the potion to.
[19:05] Kaoru
    That's why the castle responded so quickly.
[19:08] Roland
    Did you not come to this kingdom to bless it?
[19:12] Kaoru
    Huh? No, not at all.
[19:15] Kaoru
    I came to this kingdom purely by coincidence,
[19:18] Kaoru
    and I wouldn't specifically support
    just one country for no reason.
[19:22] Kaoru
    Besides...
[19:23] Kaoru
    Excluding people that Celes takes a
    particular liking to or interest in,
[19:28] Kaoru
    she wouldn't do something as laudable as
    interfering in individual people's lives.
[19:34] Kaoru
    Plus, I've already sworn that
    I wouldn't enter the castle.
[19:39] Sherra
    Then you really should come to our temple!
[19:42] Sherra
    At the goddess's side is exactly
    where an angel belongs!
[19:47] Kaoru
    No, I have no business
    with the temple, either.
[19:50] Sherra
    B-But as a fellow follower
    of the goddess Celestine,
[19:54] Sherra
    if you would pray for the people
    at the temple with all of us...
[19:59] Kaoru
    Huh? I'm not a follower of Celes.
[20:03] Sherra/Salazan
    Huh?
[20:04] Serge/Roland
    Huh?
[20:05] Abilly
    Huh?
[20:06] Kids
    Huh?
[20:06] All
    What?!
[20:09] Kaoru
    In my homeland, gods dwell in
    the seas, mountains, rivers...
[20:12] Kaoru
    In all things that bring
    blessings to the people.
[20:16] Kaoru
    That's the mainstream belief.
[20:18] Kaoru
    The goddess Celestine is
    just one of many gods.
[20:21] Kaoru
    That's how I perceive her.
[20:23] Salazan
    Th-Then what is your
    relationship to the goddess?
[20:28] Kaoru
    I'm just her friend.
[20:31] Kaoru
    Oh, and you all keep calling me an angel,
[20:36] Kaoru
    but it's not like I'm Celes's
    errand girl or anything.
[20:40] Kaoru
    We're friends who see each other as equals.
[20:42] Kaoru
    I'll continue to grant the goddess's
    blessing to those with righteous hearts,
[20:47] Kaoru
    but I'm doing that of my own will.
[20:50] Kaoru
    That's the vow I swore to the goddess.
[20:53] Kaoru
    So if anyone tried to use their authority
    or violence to force me to do anything...
[21:01] Kaoru
    Divine punishment would await them.
[21:06] Kaoru
    I can't say it all went according to plan,
[21:09] Kaoru
    but now neither the royal family
    nor the temple can touch me.
[21:13] Kaoru
    I'll be able to keep doing my
    work with the Eyes of the Goddess,
[21:17] Kaoru
    and I have friends I can rely on.
[21:21] Kaoru
    Excuse me, Priestess,
    but can I ask one question?
[21:24] Sherra
    Yes?
[21:26] Kaoru
    Why does that statue of the goddess
[21:29] Kaoru
    have such an ample chest?
[21:31] Sherra
    What?
[21:33] Kaoru
    The real goddess looks more...
    well, like me, really.
[21:38] Kaoru
    Ow!
[21:39] Kaoru
    Celes! Not so rough!
[21:41] Kaoru
    All I did was tell the truth!
[21:49] Roland
    That's definitely divine punishment!
[21:51] Roland
    I can see that you and the goddess
    see each other as equals!
