[00:10] Sulas
    Come on in.
[00:11] Belle
    Welcome to the library café, Moon Reader.
[00:15] Touya
    Hello.
[00:16] Both
    Oh, Owner.
[00:19] Rebecca
    Touya.
[00:24] Touya
    So how's the café going?
[00:26] Rebecca
    It's going very well.
[00:27] Rebecca
    The girls seem full of life, too,
    now that they've found jobs.
[00:31] Sylvie
    Sorry for the wait.
[00:31] Marika
    Thanks for your order.
[00:34] Logan
    Same goes for us, too, of course.
[00:36] Will
    We're keeping it well guarded!
[00:38] Touya
    Great, thanks.
[00:41] Touya
    The business idea came to me on a whim,
[00:43] Touya
    but I guess it was the right choice.
[00:46] Touya
    The trader, Olba-san, really helped out
[00:50] Touya
    by paying a high price for the bicycles
    I mass-produced at the Workshop.
[00:57] Touya
    Thanks to him, we got everything together.
[01:05] Rebecca
    The books that Linze bought for us
    have been especially popular with women.
[01:09] Touya
    Wow.
[01:10] Will
    Everyone seems to be enjoying it.
[01:12] Touya
    That's great.
[01:13] Touya
    Buying books is expensive, after all.
[01:15] Touya
    We might be charging an entry fee,
     but I figured it would be nice
[01:19] Touya
    if people could enjoy a meal
    while casually reading like this.
[01:24] Will
    You made all the furnishings
    here yourself, right?
[01:27] Touya
    Huh? Yeah.
[01:29] Will
    Must be nice.
[01:32] Will
    My late grandpa was able to use Null Magic,
[01:36] Will
    but I don't have any
    aptitudes, so I'm jealous.
[01:39] Touya
    What kind of Null Magic
    did your grandpa have?
[01:42] Will
    He had the spell "Gravity," which let him
    make anything he touched heavier.
[01:47] Touya
    Gravity?
[01:49] Will
    Well, it only made things a tiny bit heavier,
[01:51] Will
    so honestly, there wasn't
    much use for that spell.
[01:55] Touya
    I don't think that's right.
[01:57] Will
    Huh?
[01:58] Touya
    Depending on how it's used,
    that might be an ultimate-level spell.
SIGN    Episode 3
SIGN    Collecting Books and a Library Café
[03:41] Yumina
    An extermination date...
[03:43] Yumina
    I'm looking forward to it!
[03:45] Touya
    That's an awfully violent date, though.
[03:48] Yumina
    It's fine!
[03:49] Yumina
    I'm happy to have you to myself,
[03:52] Yumina
    and besides...
[03:53] Yumina
    I want my Guild Card to
    be Red like everyone else's.
[03:57] Touya
    I see.
[04:01] Touya
    Bloody Crab?
[04:02] Touya
    A crab?
[04:04] Yumina
    It's a red crab monster
    that has four large pincers
[04:07] Yumina
    and is known for its very hard shell.
[04:11] Yumina
    Its shell can be sold to make equipment from,
[04:13] Yumina
    and I hear its meat sells for a high price, too.
[04:17] Touya
    Huh... I guess we'll accept
    this one for now, then.
[04:31] Prim
    Um...
[04:32] Prim
    Mr. Mochizuki, you're the owner of
    the library café, Moon Reader, right?
[04:37] Touya
    Yeah, I am.
[04:39] Prim
    My name is Prim.
[04:41] Touya
    Prim-san.
[04:43] Prima
    So, um,
[04:44] Prima
    there's this series of books in the Refreese
    Imperium called The Order of the Rose.
[04:48] Prima
    I was wondering if you had
    any plans to stock them?
[04:50] Touya
    Uh, is that series already complete?
[04:53] Prim
    Yes! It should be complete
    with 15 volumes in total!
[04:57] Touya
    If it's complete, then... sure.
[05:00] Touya
    I'll go ahead and order it.
[05:01] Prim
    Thank you so much!
[05:03] Prim
    I'm really, really looking forward to it!
[05:09] Touya
    Prim-san was super happy about that.
[05:13] Touya
    I guess she loves books?
[05:16] Yumina
    Touya, do you know what
    The Order of the Rose is about?
[05:20] Touya
    No, I don't. Do you?
[05:23] Yumina
    Well, yes.
[05:24] Yumina
    It's a story about a nation's order of knights,
[05:27] Yumina
    depicting the conflict between
    the male-only Order of the Rose
[05:29] Yumina
    and the female-only Defenders of the Lily,
[05:32] Yumina
    as well as the romance that develops
[05:34] Yumina
    between the knights within
    the Order amidst that conflict.
[05:40] Touya
    Within the Order? Huh?
[05:43] Touya
    But all the knights are guys?
[05:46] Touya
    Huh?
[05:50] Touya
    Wait...
[05:51] Touya
    Does that mean it's the same kind of book
    that Linze insisted on buying a lot of?
[05:57] Touya
    I see...
[05:59] Touya
    I did promise her, though,
    so it'd be wrong not to buy them.
[06:03] Yumina
    That's true.
[06:06] Touya
    Still, I'm surprised you knew what
    kind of series The Order of the Rose was.
[06:10] Yumina
    Oh, well, you see...
[06:12] Yumina
    I actually know the author of those books.
[06:16] Yumina
    That's why I knew about the series.
[06:19] Touya
    Huh? Who is it?
[06:21] Touya
    Is it someone I know?
[06:23] Yumina
    No, I don't think you know her, Touya.
[06:26] Yumina
    She's famous, so she can't exactly
    publish under her real name,
[06:30] Yumina
    and she writes under the
    pen name of Riel Rifrese, but...
[06:34] Yumina
    you can't tell anyone else, okay?
[06:37] Yumina
    It's Reliel Rehn Refreese.
[06:40] Yumina
    The first princess of the Refreese Imperium.
[06:44] Touya
    Huh?
[06:45] Yumina
    The Refreese Imperium
    and the Kingdom of Belfast
[06:48] Yumina
    have always been closely
    affiliated as fellow monarchies.
[06:52] Yumina
    So I've known Sister Riri for a long time now.
[06:56] Yumina
    I guess, at some point,
    she found herself into such things,
[06:59] Yumina
    and ultimately she began writing them herself.
[07:02] Touya
    Ugh, I'm getting a headache.
[07:06] Touya
    Well, let's go exterminate
    that Bloody Crab first.
[07:11] Touya
    Hup!
[07:12] Touya
    Go, go, go, go!
[07:22] Touya
    So that's a Bloody Crab?
[07:24] Touya
    It's huge.
[07:26] Touya
    It looks as big as a dump truck.
[07:28] Yumina
    Entwine thus, Earth!
    Earthen Curse, Earthbind!
[07:38] Touya
    Accel!
[07:43] Touya
    Gravity!
[07:52] Touya
    There.
[07:53] Yumina
    What did you do?
[07:55] Touya
    I used a spell to double the crab's own weight.
[07:58] Touya
    Its body became too heavy for it to move.
[08:02] Touya
    This spell allows you to alter
    the weight of things you touch.
[08:05] Touya
    Lack of magical capacity is
    probably why Will's grandpa
[08:08] Touya
    could only make things slightly heavier.
[08:11] Yumina
    But with your vast magical capacity...
[08:23] Prim
    Congratulations.
[08:25] Prim
    With these points, Yumina's
    guild rank has gone up.
[08:31] Yumina
    Now I'm the same rank as everyone else.
[08:33] Touya
    Yeah. That just leaves...
[08:36] Touya
    Prim-san.
[08:37] Prim
    Yes? What is it?
[08:38] Touya
    I'm thinking of heading out
    to buy those books now.
[08:41] Prim
    Huh?!
[08:42] Touya
    So... if you wouldn't mind,
[08:44] Touya
    I was wondering if you could
    list up some books from that genre
[08:46] Touya
    that seem like they'd be popular.
[08:48] Prim
    D-Does that mean you would
    buy and stock those books?!
[08:51] Touya
    Yes, assuming they have the inventory.
[08:54] Touya
    I'm good on money after the reward
    from that extermination quest.
[08:58] Prim
    H-Hold on a moment, please!
[09:01] Prim
    Everyone!
[09:02] Prim
    Mr. Mochizuki said he'd
    stock up on the books we want!
[09:05] Staff
    Huh?! No way?!
[09:07] Staff
    Hold on, hold on!
[09:09] Staff
    Really?!
[09:10] Staff
    I can finally get that book I wanted?!
[09:13] Prim
    Y-You're really okay with this?
[09:15] Touya
    Oh, yeah.
[09:16] Prim
    Th-Then they're all written down here.
[09:19] Prim
    The Order of the Rose, all 15 volumes.
[09:21] Prim
    Butler's Secret, all 5 volumes.
[09:23] Prim
    The Fallen Prince's Oath
    of Servitude, all 8 volumes.
[09:25] Prim
    Boy in a Cage, all 6 volumes.
[09:27] Prim
    A Sweet and Dangerous
    Embrace, all 12 volumes.
[09:29] Prim
    Burning Nocturne: The Two Who
    Never Returned, all 5 volumes.
[09:32] Prim
    The Mage and the Sweet Trap, all 12 volumes.
[09:34] Prim
    The Immoral Bridegroom, all 17 volumes.
[09:37] Prim
    Rose Magical, all 9 volumes.
[09:39] Prim
    And Master Is Watching, all 18 volumes!
[09:43] Prim
    If you could please acquire them!
[09:46] Touya
    Uh... I'll give it optimistic consideration.
[09:51] Prim
    Yes!
[09:53] Prim
    This is like a dream!
[09:54] Touya
    Yumina, I want to go to Bern,
    the capital of Refreese,
[09:57] Touya
    so would you share the memory with me?
[10:00] Yumina
    Of course.
[10:27] Touya
    Excuse me. I'm looking for some books.
[10:31] Touya
    Uh...
[10:34] Touya
    The ones on this list.
[10:36] Clerk
    Sure. Let me take a look.
[10:42] Touya
    Uh, you see, I'm looking for those books
    because my customers requested them.
[10:47] Clerk
    Oh, yes, I understand!
[10:50] Clerk
    We have the full collection of these,
    so please wait a little while!
[10:56] Touya
    She definitely didn't understand me.
[11:02] Touya
    This is an adventure tale.
[11:04] Touya
    This one's a war chronicle?
[11:08] Touya
    I need to stock up without
    leaning too heavily on one genre.
[11:15] Touya
    At this rate, those sorts of books
    will take over the whole café.
[11:18] Reliel
    Y-You're sold out?!
[11:21] Clerk
    My apologies.
[11:23] Clerk
    This was the last of our inventory,
[11:26] Clerk
    and it's uncertain when
    we'll get our next shipment.
[11:28] Reliel
    No way!
[11:32] Clerk
    Oh, sir, I've retrieved
    all the books you ordered.
[11:36] Clerk
    Would you like these, as well?
[11:37] Touya
    Oh, yes. I'd like them all, please.
[11:41] Reliel
    Huh? He's the one who bought RoseMagi?
[11:47] Touya
    What seems to be the matter?
[11:48] Clerk
    Well...
[11:50] Clerk
    The final volume of Rose Magical,
    one of the series that you ordered,
[11:55] Clerk
    happened to be our last copy in stock.
[11:58] Clerk
    That customer there also
    came here to purchase it.
[12:01] Touya
    Oh...
[12:03] Reliel
    Um...
[12:04] Reliel
    Excuse me!
[12:05] Reliel
    Would you be willing to let me have
    the final volume of Rose Magical?!
[12:09] Touya
    Uh, but I came here to buy this, too.
[12:12] Reliel
    This is the last shop!
[12:13] Reliel
    All the other bookstores I tried are sold out!
[12:17] Touya
    I'm sorry to hear that, but...
[12:21] Reliel
    You bought The Order of the Rose, too?
[12:23] Touya
    Huh? Oh, well, yeah.
[12:32] Touya
    Um...
[12:33] Reliel
    You have a good eye for titles, don't you?
[12:36] Touya
    No. You have the wrong idea.
[12:39] Touya
    I was asked to buy these.
    I'm not into them myself.
[12:42] Reliel
    Yes, I understand. I understand!
[12:45] Touya
    She definitely does not understand.
[12:48] Reliel
    I see. Uh-huh.
[12:57] Touya
    What is it?
[13:00] Reliel
    I have a deal for you.
[13:01] Reliel
    If you'll let me have the
    final volume of RoseMagi,
[13:04] Reliel
    I'll autograph every volume of
    The Order of the Rose for you.
[13:07] Reliel
    How about it?
[13:08] Touya
    Huh?
[13:10] Touya
    How would having you autograph
    them benefit me in any way?
[13:13] Reliel
    It would, because I'm the author of
    The Order of the Rose, Riel Rifrese!
[13:20] Touya
    Oh?
[13:22] Touya
    How nice.
[13:23] Reliel
    Hey! You don't believe me, do you?
[13:32] Touya
    I guess I can try sounding her out.
[13:35] Touya
    I suppose that would mean
    you're Princess Reliel, then.
[13:39] Reliel
    Huh?
[13:42] Touya
    I knew she was tricking me.
[13:45] Reliel
    H... H-H-H-H-H-How do you know that?!
[13:50] Touya
    Huh?
[13:51] Reliel
    E-Even my father doesn't know about that!
[13:55] Touya
    Huh? Seriously?
[13:57] Touya
    You're really her?
[13:58] Reliel
    Wh-What are you planning to do
    now that you've found me out?!
[14:02] Reliel
    You're going to blackmail me,
    use me as a stepping stone
[14:04] Reliel
    to get closer to my younger
    brother, the next emperor,
[14:06] Reliel
    and then steal his chastity
    and make this nation yours!
[14:09] Touya
    Are you an idiot?!
[14:11] Reliel
    Ow! Wh-What was that for?!
[14:13] Touya
    Shut up!
[14:14] Touya
    If I hadn't heard about that from Yumina,
    I would have completely ignored you!
[14:18] Touya
    Is this nation going to be okay with
    someone like you as the first princess?
[14:22] Reliel
    Yumina?
[14:24] Reliel
    You mean the Yumina from Belfast?
[14:26] Reliel
    Just who are you?
[14:31] Touya
    I'm Mochizuki Touya.
[14:33] Touya
    I'm the fiancée of Princess
    Yumina, Princess of Belfast.
[14:36] Touya
    Though the engagement is still unofficial.
[14:38] Reliel
    What?! F-Fiancée?!
[14:40] Reliel
    Fiancée, as in... that girl is getting married?!
[14:43] Reliel
    Huh? But Yumina is a woman...
[14:46] Reliel
    Huh?
[14:47] Reliel
    Wait, is it a sham marriage?
[14:49] Reliel
    Are you really after the king himself?!
[14:52] Touya
    No, I'm not!
[14:53] Reliel
    Ow!
[14:55] Touya
    I'm just going to have to
    ask Yumina to explain.
[15:00] Reliel
    Yumina!
[15:01] Yumina
    It's been a while, Sister Riri.
[15:05] Touya
    Here, the final volume of Rose Magical.
[15:12] Yumina
    Touya, did you...
[15:14] Touya
    I went to the Workshop and copied it.
[15:16] Touya
    Okay, that solves everything.
[15:19] Touya
    I did pay the bookstore enough
    money for an extra copy, too.
[15:22] Reliel
    Are you sure?
[15:23] Reliel
    I thought you wanted it.
[15:25] Touya
    I told you, you've got it all wrong!
[15:27] Touya
    I came to buy these so I could
    stock them in my shop!
[15:31] Touya
    I'm not interested in it myself!
[15:34] Reliel
    That's kind of a waste in its own wa—
[15:40] Reliel
    Never mind! It's nothing!
[15:55] Prim
    Th-The epitome of bliss!
[16:17] Prim
    Thank you so much, Mr. Mochizuki!
[16:20] Prim
    This will be my reward for a hard day's work!
[16:23] Touya
    It was nothing.
[16:26] Linze
    This is quite the lineup!
[16:28] Linze
    As expected of you, Touya!
[16:30] Touya
    Expected of me? Really?
[16:35] Woman
    Um, where is Burning Nocturne:
    The Two Who Never Returned?
[16:38] Will
    U-Uh...
[16:41] Linze
    That series is over here.
[16:43] Linze
    Though the latest release, volume 5, is
    on the recommendation shelf over there.
[16:47] Touya
    She knows it by heart.
[16:49] Touya
    Maybe I should just let Linze be the owner...
[16:53] Will
    Sorry.
[16:55] Will
    I still haven't memorized
    where the books are.
[16:58] Touya
    It's fine.
[17:00] Touya
    Your job is to guard the place, anyway.
[17:02] Touya
    Oh, yeah. I wanted to thank you
    for teaching me that Gravity spell.
[17:05] Will
    Huh?
[17:07] Touya
    Is there anything you want,
    or anything you want to do?
[17:14] Will
    Well, I...
[17:17] Will
    I want to get stronger!
[17:19] Will
    There's someone I want to protect.
[17:21] Will
    I want to become even
    stronger so I can do that.
[17:24] Will
    Not just with pure might!
[17:26] Will
    I want to become a man who can
    protect her from all kinds of things!
[17:40] Touya
    Oh, now I get it.
[17:42] Touya
    Someone you want to protect, huh?
[17:48] Touya
    That's the story. So really put
    Will through the wringer, please.
[17:52] Neil
    Yes, we knights will take full
    responsibility for training him up.
[17:56] Neil
    Get as strong as you'd like.
[17:58] Will
    Y-Yes, sir!
[18:00] Neil
    Let's begin right away.
[18:06] Elze
    Oh, Touya?
[18:08] Elze
    What's up? Did you need something here?
[18:10] Touya
    Yeah.
[18:12] Touya
    Will said he wanted to get stronger,
    so I brought him here.
[18:15] Touya
    I'm done introducing him,
    so I was about to head home.
[18:21] Elze
    Hey, so, Touya...
[18:23] Elze
    If you're about to go home with Gate,
    do you want to go to Silver Moon?
[18:27] Elze
    I worked up a sweat, so I'd like
     to take a dip in the hot spring.
[18:30] Touya
    Sure. Let's go.
[18:31] Elze
    Yay!
[18:35] Elze
    This is so refreshing.
[18:38] Touya
    How's it going?
[18:39] Touya
    Have you been having any issues at all?
[18:42] Touya
    The hot spring's not acting up?
[18:43] Micah
    No problems. We're getting
    a good flow of customers, too.
[18:47] Micah
    To be honest, we're earning more
    profit off the bath fees than the inn.
[18:51] Micah
    At this rate, we're likely to become
    the bathhouse Silver Moon.
[18:54] Zanac
    Oh, long time no see.
[18:57] Touya
    Hey, Zanac-san. You're here, too?
[19:00] Zanac
    Well, ever since this was built,
[19:03] Zanac
    everything feels off if
    I don't bathe morning and night.
[19:05] Zanac
    I'm a regular here now.
[19:07] Micah
    Zanac here even started
    recommending our hot spring
[19:10] Micah
    to the customers visiting
    Fashion King Zanac.
[19:14] Touya
    That's good to hear.
[19:17] Zanac
    Maybe I could collect an agent's fee?
[19:22] Zanac
    Oh, right. I finished another one of
    the outfit designs I received from you!
[19:26] Touya
    Huh?
[19:27] Touya
    I think it turned out quite well myself.
[19:30] Touya
    I happened to bring the
    prototype with me today.
[19:33] Touya
    Want to see it?
[19:36] Touya
    Well, rather than just see it...
[19:45] Elze
    So, what's this?
[19:57] Touya
    That's right! It's a present from me!
[20:00] Touya
    Yeah, you look good in it. Really cute.
[20:06] Elze
    Wh-What are you saying?!
[20:08] Elze
    You even changed out my
    clothes without asking! Jeez!
[20:13] Touya
    Even though she actually
    loves to wear cute clothes,
[20:16] Touya
    she's probably convinced herself
    she doesn't look good in them.
[20:19] Touya
    That's exactly why I thought I had to
    almost force her to wear it like this.
[20:26] Touya
    Well? Will you accept it?
[20:31] Touya
    Look out!
[20:43] Touya
    Is it hard to walk?
[20:44] Touya
    Should we swap out just the shoes?
[20:47] Elze
    It's fine like this.
[20:51] Elze
    Touya, thank you for this present.
[20:58] Touya
    A lot may have happened,
[21:00] Touya
    but all's well that ends well.
[21:03] Touya
    This was a great day.
[21:12] Touya
    So peaceful.
[21:14] Yumina
    Sure is.
[21:16] Linze
    U-Um, Touya!
[21:18] Touya
    What is it, Linze?
[21:22] Linze
    This is Riel Rifrese's new series.
[21:26] Touya
    Huh?
[21:26] Touya
    The first volume went on sale the other day,
[21:29] Touya
    and volume two is scheduled
    to be out next month.
[21:32] Touya
    Wow.
[21:36] Linze
    The story is, well...
[21:38] Linze
    It's about a man with almighty power
[21:41] Linze
    who's out to take over a nation,
[21:43] Linze
    so he gets that nation's knight,
    their beautiful princess,
[21:45] Linze
    and her younger brother, the prince,
    in his clutches one by one,
[21:49] Linze
    rising up the ladder.
[21:52] Linze
    She claims, "I had sudden inspiration!"
[21:54] Linze
    And rumors say she's
    writing it at a crazy pace...
[21:57] Reliel
    Yes, yes, yes!
[22:01] Yumina
    Sister Riri, did you...
[22:05] Touya
    Next time I see that rotten head of hers,
[22:09] Touya
    I'll have to give it a Gravity-enhanced chop!
