**[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.

**[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!
