[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!
