[00:09] Raquelta
    Did you hear, Barada?
[00:09] Almeda
    Sorry for the wait.
[00:12] Marie
    Are you registering as adventurers?
[00:15] Taichi
    Oh, we're back to Azpire!
[00:18] Rin
    The royal capital was a wonderful place,
[00:20] Rin
    but this is the town we can relax in best.
[00:23] Taichi
    Yeah.
[00:24] Muller
    We're worn out from the journey too,
[00:26] Muller
    so let's take our time
    enjoying the town today.
[00:28] Taichi
    Are we staying at Mithril, then?
[00:30] Lemia
    Yeah, their food is pretty good.
[00:34] Lemia
    We should stay there for a
    while and rest our bones.
[00:41] Man
    Hey, you got your end?
[00:43] Man
    Pull it a little more.
[00:48] Taichi
    What's that?
[00:50] Rin
    Now that you mention it...
[00:53] Lemia
    Huh, time sure flies.
[00:55] Lemia
    It's already that season?
[00:57] Muller
    Right, this would be the first
    time for you two, wouldn't it?
[01:01] Muller
    There's a festival tonight.
[01:03] Muller
    It's one of Azpire's annual events.
[01:05] Lemia
    The Starry Night Festival.
[01:07] Lemia
    It's a special night that comes once a year
[01:09] Lemia
    where the dead get to mingle with the living.
[02:46] Lemia
    The Starry Night Festival...
SIGN    Episode 13 Magicians and the Starry Night Festival
[02:49] Lemia
    According to old legends passed down,
[02:51] Lemia
    once a year, on this very night,
    the gates to land of the dead are opened.
[02:57] Lemia
    For just this one night,
[02:58] Lemia
    the souls of the dead
    regain their living forms
[03:02] Lemia
    and appear on earth using the light
    of lanterns to guide their way.
[03:06] Lemia
    All to reminisce on the
    lives they once lived,
[03:08] Lemia
    or to see their old loved ones.
[03:11] Taichi
    So it's like the Obon festival, then.
[03:14] Muller
    Hmm? Obon?
[03:16] Rin
    Our country has a similar festival.
[03:19] Rin
    We call them "welcome fires,"
    and lit them on landmarks.
[03:23] Rin
    It's strange, isn't it?
[03:24] Rin
    Our worlds are so different,
    but there's still a similar custom.
[03:28] Lemia
    I doubt there's much difference between
    worlds when it comes to the desire
[03:32] Lemia
    to remember and be reunited
    with those who are gone.
[03:37] Lemia
    Oh, I forgot.
[03:39] Lemia
    We'll need those if we're participating
    in the festival, Muller.
[03:42] Muller
    Yes, I believe there's usually a shop
    around here that sells them every year.
[03:47] Taichi
    "Those"?
[03:48] Lemia
    Charms to keep the dead from possessing
    and killing the living, like us.
[03:57] Taichi
    This is the charm?
[03:59] Muller
    Don't worry. It's just for show, anyway.
[04:02] Muller
    She mentioned that the dead regain their
    living forms on the night of the festival, right?
[04:07] Taichi
    Yeah.
[04:09] Muller
    That's what these masks are for.
[04:11] Muller
    Everyone, both dead and living,
    wears one to hide their true faces.
[04:15] Muller
    By doing so, no one can
    tell who's living or dead.
[04:19] Muller
    So everyone participating wears a mask.
[04:21] Muller
    That's the custom for this festival.
[04:23] Rin
    Then if you don't...
[04:26] Muller
    Those who show their true face
[04:29] Muller
    get dragged away by the dead.
[04:32] Muller
    According to the legends, anyway.
[04:35] Taichi
    Hey, if everyone's wearing a mask,
[04:38] Taichi
    then how are you supposed to tell if
    someone is the person you hope to meet?
[04:42] Muller
    Well...
[04:44] Old Wife
    I'll take this one.
[04:46] Mask Seller
    Good eye.
[04:48] Mask Seller
    That's an excellent one made by one of
    the leading masters of the workshop.
[04:52] Old Wife
    He always loved the season
    of new leaves, you see.
[04:56] Mask Seller
    You mean... your husband?
[04:59] Old Wife
    Yes, he passed away half a year ago.
[05:03] Old Wife
    Leaving me behind!
[05:04] Old Wife
    What a cruel man.
[05:06] Mask Seller
    Then let me wrap that up for you.
[05:08] Old Wife
    Yes, please.
[05:11] Rin
    Hmm?
[05:18] Mask Seller
    May the goddess protect you.
[05:20] Mask Seller
    I hope you two can meet on this starry night.
[05:24] Old Wife
    Thank you.
[05:25] Old Wife
    May the goddess protect you, too.
[05:30] Lemia
    During the Starry Night Festival,
[05:32] Lemia
    the family members of the recently
    deceased offer masks before their graves.
[05:38] Lemia
    The dead then wear them
    and head to the festival.
[05:40] Lemia
    Every mask created is slightly different,
[05:44] Lemia
    so those who want to see each other can tell.
[05:47] Taichi
    I see.
[05:48] Taichi
    Then those without families...
[05:58] Taichi
    Rin, do you remember when
    I fought that dragon?
[06:03] Rin
    Yeah.
[06:04] Taichi
    The person buried here is Anastasia.
[06:08] Taichi
    She's the assassin that attacked us on
    our way back from investigating the bar.
[06:13] Taichi
    She joined the guild after that.
[06:16] Taichi
    I had hoped that she would
    find more honest work,
[06:21] Taichi
    but ultimately, she could
    only choose the same path.
[06:28] Taichi
    But even so... Even so, Ana was my...
[06:32] Taichi
    Our precious friend.
[06:36] Taichi
    This city was saved from the Red
    Goblin attack thanks to Ana,
[06:41] Taichi
    though no one knows that.
[06:44] Rin
    But you know it.
[06:48] Rin
    You do know what kind of person
    Anastasia was, and how she lived her life.
[06:56] Rin
    Let's not forget it.
[06:58] Rin
    I won't forget, either.
[07:02] Rin
    I hope she'll wear this and come tonight.
[07:08] Taichi
    Yeah.
[07:11] Taichi
    May the goddess protect you.
[07:13] Rin
    I hope you can meet on this starry night.
[07:26] Muller
    You're really planning on selling this?
[07:29] Gerard
    Yeah. I thought our guild could
    contribute to the festival, too.
[07:34] Gerard
    So this year, we decided to run a stall.
[07:36] Marie
    We wanted to do something
    unique to our guild,
[07:39] Marie
    so we made a soup that grants vigor.
[07:42] Lemia
    I have no desire to eat that.
[07:44] Lemia
    What on earth did you put in it?
[07:46] Marie
    Powdered swamp newt, and a
    few scented vision herbs.
[07:50] Muller
    Swamp newt and scented vision herbs?!
[07:52] Muller
    But aren't those...
[07:53] Lemia
    Aphrodisiacs, yes.
[07:55] Lemia
    When consumed, they may or may not
    make you incredibly horny that night.
[08:01] Marie
    It's a soup for adults.
[08:04] Lemia
    Hmm...
[08:04] Muller
    Wait, why are you drinking it?!
[08:06] Lemia
    Should I not?
[08:08] Muller
    Of course you shouldn't!
[08:10] Muller
    Men and women are already close
    enough on the night of the festival.
[08:15] Lemia
    Well, drinking and dancing would
    get them all excited anyway.
[08:19] Muller
    All the more reason!
[08:20] Muller
    If they drink something
    like this on top of that-!
[08:22] Muller
    They'll, you know...
[08:24] Lemia
    Oh? What will happen?
[08:28] Muller
    Something immoral.
[08:30] Lemia
    Oh? I don't think making love is immoral.
[08:34] Muller
    Th-That's...
[08:36] Muller
    It's one thing if they love each other,
[08:38] Muller
    but just doing that in
    the heat of the moment...
[08:40] Muller
    Anyway, why is the guild
    contributing to moral corruption?!
[08:44] Muller
    No! Absolutely! Not!
[08:46] Taichi
    What's going on, Muller?
[08:51] Taichi
    An aphrodisiac soup?
[08:53] Taichi
    Of course that's no go.
[08:55] Marie
    What a shame.
[08:57] Gerard
    In that case, we'll need to prepare
    something else to sell instead.
[09:01] Lemia
    But there are only so many things
    you can prepare at this point.
[09:05] Lemia
    Besides...
[09:06] Lemia
    We can't do something
    too similar to anyone else.
[09:08] Lemia
    We want to avoid competition.
[09:11] Muller
    Speaking of which, you said you had a
    similar festival in your country, Taichi?
[09:15] Taichi
    Yeah, we had stalls for ours, too.
[09:17] Muller
    What did you sell there?
[09:19] Taichi
    Well,
[09:21] Taichi
    there were fried noodles,
    fried octopus, fried corn, and fried squid.
[09:25] Muller
    I don't know what any of that is,
    but it's a lot of fried stuff.
[09:28] Rin
    That wasn't all.
[09:30] Rin
    There was cotton candy, candy apples,
    chocolate bananas, and churros.
[09:33] Rin
    There was sweet candy, too.
[09:36] Muller
    Candy!
[09:37] Rin
    Y-Yeah.
[09:39] Rin
    S-So cute...
[09:41] Lemia
    Candy, huh?
[09:42] Lemia
    Yeah, that wouldn't overlap
    with the other stalls.
[09:46] Marie
    And kids would love something sweet, too!
[09:49] Gerard
    Hmm, it's a good idea,
[09:51] Gerard
    but I don't know if we could finish
    preparing it in time for the festival.
[09:56] Taichi
    I know, that could work!
[09:58] Taichi
    Yeah, that would only need
    some simple preparations,
[10:01] Taichi
    and then it's just made on the spot.
[10:04] Taichi
    Plus the main ingredient is something we...
[10:06] Taichi
    or rather, Rin, could get us for free.
[10:09] Rin
    Huh? Me?
[10:11] Taichi
    Yeah, and no one else is doing it.
[10:13] Taichi
    It would be a product only we were selling.
[10:16] Taichi
    You always went with melon,
    and I went with blue Hawaiian.
[10:19] Rin
    Oh!
[10:19] Taichi
    We have to do that!
[10:21] Rin
    Yeah!
[10:25] Taichi
    Okay, do it here.
[10:27] Rin
    Okay.
[10:32] Taichi
    Rin-san?
[10:34] Rin
    Sorry, sorry, I accidentally
    cast it in battle mode.
[10:38] Taichi
    Well, this should be enough
    for several hundred servings.
[10:41] Muller
    Taichi, Rin...
[10:43] Muller
    We're finished here.
[10:46] Rin
    Wow, it looks delicious!
[10:49] Marie
    From right to left we have
    riberry, kiwiit, and melila.
[10:53] Lemia
    Well, Rin?
[10:55] Lemia
    Can you make this shaved ice thing now?
[10:57] Rin
    Yeah, this is perfect!
[11:00] Taichi
    But we won't turn a profit
    if we use melila fruit, right?
[11:03] Lemia
    Today's a festival, so don't
    sweat the small stuff.
[11:07] Lemia
    Now to taste test.
[11:10] Both
    Please!
[11:11] Taichi
    Y-Yeah.
[11:13] Taichi
    Okay...
[11:14] Taichi
    Summon: Sylphid!
[11:18] Slyphie
    You called?
[11:19] Gerard
    Whoa!
[11:23] Taichi
    Hmm...
[11:24] Taichi
    My idea is to use thin blades of
    wind to shave the ice in there,
[11:28] Taichi
    but can we do it?
[11:32] Slyphie
    That will be easy with the power I've lent you.
[11:34] Taichi
    That's great, Sylphie!
[11:36] Slyphie
    In return,
[11:38] Slyphie
    let me eat some, too!
[11:48] Three
    Whoa!
[11:52] Taichi
    Well?!
[11:53] Rin & Marie
    Time to dig in!
[11:53] Muller
    Time to eat.
[11:53] Gerard
    Hmm...
[11:53] Lemia
    I'll have some.
[11:56] Rin
    It's good!
[11:59] Marie
    It's bittersweet and cold.
[12:01] Marie
    I've never had anything like this!
[12:02] Lemia
    Hmm, eating ice like this...
[12:06] Lemia
    That's truly a brilliant invention.
[12:09] Slyphie
    T-Taichi...
[12:10] Slyphie
    Oh, sorry.
[12:13] Slyphie
    Thanks, Sylphie.
[12:19] Slyphie
    I'm so happy!
[12:23] Muller
    O-Ow!
[12:25] Muller
    What is this?!
[12:26] Muller
    My head stings!
[12:28] Rin
    Oh, Muller...
[12:29] Rin
    Don't worry, it'll be gone in a moment.
[12:32] Muller
    Huh?
[12:33] Muller
    Oh, it's gone.
[12:35] Lemia
    Oh? So consuming ice
    rapidly causes a headache?
[12:40] Lemia
    This is even more interesting.
[12:42] Taichi
    Now I'll have some, too!
[12:45] Taichi
    Oh, here it comes, here it comes!
[12:54] Lemia
    Well, we're leaving this to you, Taichi.
[12:56] Lemia
    Since you're doing it,
    aim for number one in sales!
[12:58] Taichi
    Wait, just me?
[13:00] Taichi
    Both you and Rin can use wind magic, right?
[13:03] Lemia
    We're busy with other matters.
[13:06] Muller
    Besides, fire magicians like us have
    another job on the day of the festival.
[13:11] Taichi
    What other job?
[13:12] Rin
    It's a secret!
[13:13] Rin
    Look forward to it!
[13:15] Lemia
    Gerard, don't hesitate to work him hard.
[13:18] Gerard
    Yeah, leave that to me.
[13:21] Lemia
    Oh, don't get so sullen.
[13:23] Lemia
    If you're a good boy, you might
    get to see something nice.
[13:39] Child
    Hey, buy that!
[13:46] Barada
    Oh? So this is the wind spirit,
    Sylphie, that everyone's talking about.
[13:51] Raquelta
    Oh, my.
[13:53] Mejilla
    So cute.
[13:55] Barada
    Still, I turn my back on you for a bit,
[13:58] Barada
    and you've gotten awful far ahead of me.
[14:00] Raquelta
    We heard about what you
    did in the royal capital.
[14:02] Raquelta
    You're big advisors to
    the royal army now, huh?
[14:05] Mejilla
    I can't believe you were a Summoner.
[14:07] Taichi
    That's a bit of a cheat...
    or, well, I just got lucky.
[14:11] Raquelta
    Yeah, that's true.
[14:13] Raquelta
    You were already cheating the moment you had
    a beautiful girl like Rin-chan for a partner.
[14:18] Barada
    So how are things?
[14:20] Barada
    You make any progress
    with the lady after that?
[14:22] Taichi
    Huh? Well...
[14:24] Almeda
    One melila flavor, please.
[14:27] Taichi
    Oh, sure.
[14:30] Almeda
    Huh? You're not noticing?
[14:32] Taichi
    Huh?
[14:32] Raquelta
    Wow, so dense!
[14:33] Mejilla
    He's the worst.
[14:34] Barada
    Look closer, Taichi.
[14:36] Taichi
    Oh! Almeda?
[14:41] Taichi
    You're awfully... mature tonight.
[14:44] Almeda
    Y-You think so?
[14:46] Men
    Whoa!
[14:47] Lemia
    Well? You grinding away, Taichi?
[14:50] Taichi
    Lemia-san, Muller...
[14:53] Taichi
    Rin...
[14:58] Both
    Whoa!
[15:00] Lemia
    And your thoughts are?
[15:01] Taichi
    Oh, uh, um...
[15:04] Lemia
    Good grief! You need training
    in other life skills, Taichi.
[15:10] Raquelta
    You're like a black pearl
    sleeping in the abyss!
[15:12] Raquelta
    Even a mermaid would be
    jealous of your beauty!
[15:15] Raquelta
    Golden Fencer, your brilliance
    does honor to your title!
[15:20] Raquelta
    Even the stars of the night sky
    are overshadowed by your presence!
[15:23] Muller
    Huh, u-um...
[15:29] Rin
    I had Lemia-san pick it out for me.
[15:32] Rin
    But maybe it's too gaudy?
[15:34] Taichi
    N-Not at all!
[15:37] Taichi
    It looks... good on you.
[15:42] Rin
    Oh, thank you.
[15:48] Marie
    So sweet.
[15:50] Gerard
    It's the flavor of youth.
[16:06] Gerard
    This isn't good.
[16:08] Lemia
    An unseasonal storm, huh?
[16:11] Marie
    What do we do?
[16:19] Gerard
    Unfortunately, we'll have
    to cancel the festival.
[16:21] Slyphie
    Huh? No way!
[16:23] Marie
    Safety first, after all.
[16:27] Rin
    But...
[16:28] Muller
    There are people looking
    forward to the festival,
[16:31] ---
    and their once-a-year chance to see the dead.
[16:34] Muller
    Can't we wait and see for a bit?
[16:36] Taichi
    Hey, storms are low pressure systems, right?
[16:39] Taichi
    Basically, big, huge rain clouds, yeah?
[16:42] Rin
    Huh? Yeah, they are.
[16:45] Taichi
    Then if we got rid of those rain clouds,
[16:47] Taichi
    the storm would settle down too, right?
[16:49] Rin
    That's right, but...
[16:52] Rin
    Taichi, you aren't thinking of...
[16:54] Taichi
    Yeah, I am.
[16:56] Taichi
    If I blast those rain clouds away with
    wind that's stronger than the storm...
[17:00] Muller
    Taichi, even for you, that's...
[17:03] Lemia
    Try it.
[17:05] Lemia
    Normally it would be the
    height of recklessness
[17:07] Lemia
    for a person to try and eliminate a storm,
[17:10] Lemia
    but today's a festival.
[17:12] Lemia
    I'll permit it.
[17:14] Lemia
    Do it, Taichi!
[17:15] Taichi
    All right! Let's go, Sylphie!
[17:18] Slyphie
    Got it!
[17:27] Taichi
    Okay!
[17:37] Marie
    Oh, my.
[17:44] Gerard
    Wow.
[17:45] People
    Good going!
[17:46] People
    Incredible!
[17:50] Taichi
    Good, we blew the storm away.
[17:53] Taichi
    Now let's enjoy the festival.
[17:55] Rin
    Yeah!
[17:55] Muller
    Yeah!
[17:56] Lemia
    Then let's add some flowers!
[18:04] Taichi
    Oh, fireworks!
[18:18] Muller
    Hey, Rin, are you sure that's all we need?
[18:22] Rin
    Yeah, it's called a flame reaction.
[18:25] Rin
    We use earth magic to draw out minute bits
    of metal, and if we combine them with fire...
[18:30] Rin
    Then it should work.
[18:31] Muller
    Flame reaction?
[18:33] Muller
    That reminds me, when you were first
    practicing magic, you produced blue flames, too.
[18:38] Rin
    Oh, yeah, that's because I was
    burning matter in a gaseous state.
[18:42] Muller
    Back then, I was truly shocked.
[18:46] Muller
    I thought, "Who on earth is this woman?!"
[18:49] Muller
    Okay, let's do it.
[18:53] Muller
    I feel like I can accomplish
    anything when I'm with you.
[18:58] Rin
    Muller...
[19:00] Rin
    Yeah!
[19:12] Both
    We did it! It was a big success!
[19:12] Lemia
    Hey, how did you just do that?
[19:19] Almeda
    Welcome!
[19:20] Raquelta
    Have you ever eaten shaved ice?
[19:25] Muller
    Well? Is it good?
[19:26] Rin
    Yeah! Uh-huh!
[19:29] Customer
    Three melila flavor, please.
[19:31] Customer
    I'll take riberry and
    kiwiit. Two of each, please!
[19:34] Taichi
    Okay, coming right up!
[19:42] Taichi
    I'm glad business is booming, but...
[19:45] Slyphie
    Are you okay, Taichi?
[19:47] Muller
    Good work.
[19:48] Muller
    We'll manage the stall for you.
[19:50] Lemia
    We can't have you using up all
    your mana and collapsing again.
[19:54] Taichi
    Thanks, and sorry.
[19:56] Lemia
    In return, Taichi, I'm giving you a task.
[20:03] Lemia
    Go ask Rin to dance.
[20:04] Taichi
    Huh? Me?
[20:06] Lemia
    Who else is there?
[20:08] Lemia
    Go on.
[20:09] Lemia
    Keep spacing out, and some
    playboy will steal her away.
[20:13] Muller
    That's right. Rin's cute, you know.
[20:17] Guy
    What are you waiting for?
[20:20] Guy
    Why don't you dance with someone else?
[20:22] Taichi
    Rin!
[20:23] Rin
    Taichi!
[20:25] Taichi
    U-Um,
[20:31] Taichi
    please dance with me!
[20:40] Rin
    Gladly.
[20:57] Muller
    Oh, Taichi...
[20:58] Muller
    I hope he doesn't step on Rin's feet.
[21:01] Lemia
    I'm adding another item to his training list.
[21:10] Almeda
    You okay?
[21:20] Rin
    Phew! Dancing is pretty tiring.
[21:23] Taichi
    Yeah, it is.
[21:26] Conductor
    Now, the night of the festival grows late.
[21:28] Conductor
    Our next song shall be our last.
[21:31] Conductor
    Gentlemen, now is the time to
    proposition the woman in your heart.
[21:36] Taichi
    Ri—
[21:48] Taichi
    No way...
[21:51] Conductor
    Now, are you all set?
[22:01] Rin
    Taichi...
[22:04] Rin
    I'm a bit worn out. So...
[22:11] Rin
    Would you dance with her?
[22:13] Taichi
    Rin...
[22:14] Rin
    Go on, please.
[22:16] Taichi
    But...
[22:19] Rin
    I'll see you later!
[22:23] Taichi
    Ah, um...
[22:30] Taichi
    Would you dance with me?
[22:35] Anastasia
    Yes.
[22:42] Muller
    Are you sure?
[22:43] Rin
    Yeah, I'm sure.
[22:47] Rin
    After all, she's the one
    who fought alongside us.
[22:52] Rin
    The friend who risked her
    life to protect this city.
[22:57] Rin
    No knows she did, but...
[23:00] Muller
    Let's dance, Rin.
[23:03] Muller
    You don't want to dance with me?
[23:06] Rin
    That's not true.
[23:09] Rin
    Thank you, Muller.
[23:14] Rin
    Today is the Starry Night Festival,
[23:17] Rin
    the night that comes once a year,
    where the living and the dead can meet.
[23:23] Rin
    A night where one can dance
    with someone precious to them,
[23:27] Rin
    while their faces are hidden behind masks.
[23:30] Rin
    I'm glad that such a fantasy can exist.
[23:33] Rin
    After all, this is another world.
