    Sister, it's time to go to—
[00:08] Keith
    Wh-What is all this?
[00:10] Catarina
    Prince Geordo has been

    Keith Disappeared... Part 1
[01:51] Catarina
    I have to wonder... why me?
[01:54] Keith
    Are you talking about Prince Geordo?
[01:56] Catarina
    Yeah.
[01:57] Catarina
    I'm totally normal and not
    interesting at all. So why me?
[02:02] Keith
    You should try looking up
    "normal" in a dictionary sometime.
[02:08] Geordo
    Good morning, Catarina.
[02:11] Catarina
    G-Good morning, Prince Geordo.
[02:14] Geordo
    Did the presents I sent
    you arrive without issues?
[02:16] Catarina
    Y-Yes!
[02:19] Keith
    You're getting too close.
[02:21] Geordo
    Keith, Catarina and I are
    going to get married someday.
[02:25] Geordo
    We could, and should,
    be getting even closer.
[02:27] Keith
    How can you talk about marrying
    her? She's afraid of you!
[02:31] Geordo
    Catarina isn't afraid of me.
[02:33] Geordo
    She's just grown more aware of me.
[02:36] Geordo
    Unlike someone else here,
    whom she has no awareness of at all.
[02:44] Mary
    Lady Catarina, good morning!
[02:47] Catarina
    Oh, good morning!
[02:49] Mary
    Oh, Prince Geordo.
    Are you sure you should be here?
[02:53] Mary
    I thought you had lots
    of student council work piling up.
[02:57] Geordo
    Now that you mention it, I do
    suddenly have a lot more work of late.
[03:01] Geordo
    It's almost as if someone
    is intentionally dumping work on me
[03:04] Geordo
    in an attempt to take up more of my time.
[03:08] Alan
    I-I don't know anything about it.
[03:11] Mary
    Perhaps your exhaustion
    has made you paranoid?
[03:14] Geordo
    Well, no matter how much work I have,
[03:17] Geordo
    it won't cause all
    that much hardship for me.
[03:20] Mary
    How remarkable you are, Prince Geordo.
[03:23] Sophia
    Everyone!
[03:24] Sophia
    We must hurry, or we'll be late!
[03:27] Maria
    Let's go, Lady Catarina!
[03:28] Catarina
    Okay!
[03:36] Catarina
    I'm exhausted.
[03:38] Keith
    You do seem to be overwhelmed lately.
[03:40] Keith
    Have some of these, Sister.
[03:41] Catarina
    Thanks...
[03:44] Catarina
    I don't know if I'm overwhelmed...
[03:46] Catarina
    I'm just not used to all this,
[03:48] Catarina
    so Prince Geordo's aggressive
    approach makes me nervous.
[03:53] Keith
    We're on break starting tomorrow,
    so let's go back home and relax.
[03:56] Catarina
    Yeah, good idea.
[03:58] Catarina
    Keith is such a nice boy!
[04:01] Catarina
    When my older brothers in my
    previous life wanted to cheer me up,
[04:05] Catarina
    they'd use professional
    wrestling moves on me.
[04:08] Keith
    By the way, have you decided
    what you'll do after graduation?
[04:12] Catarina
    Huh? No, not yet.
[04:14] Keith
    If you want to join the Department of Magic,
[04:16] Keith
    Lady Larna will write you
    a letter of recommendation, right?
[04:19] Catarina
    Yeah, but I'm having
    trouble making up my mind.
[04:22] Catarina
    I just don't feel confident
    that I could get by there.
[04:25] Catarina
    I have some of the weakest
    magic in the whole academy,
[04:29] Catarina
    and my grades aren't that great, either.
[04:31] Catarina
    Joining the most important
    organization in the country
[04:34] Catarina
    through my connections just seems wrong.
[04:36] Keith
    I see.
[04:38] Keith
    Well, you can take your
    time thinking about it.
[04:40] Catarina
    Yeah.
[04:47] Catarina
    Wow, these sweets are tasty, too!
[04:50] Keith
    Hey...
[04:51] Catarina
    What?
[04:53] Keith
    Do you really have no interest
    in marrying Prince Geordo?
[04:57] Catarina
    Of course not!
[04:58] Catarina
    I mean, if I did, I'd be royalty!
[05:01] Catarina
    You really think I could pull that off?
[05:04] Keith
    It might be difficult for you.
[05:07] Catarina
    Right?
[05:09] Keith
    Still...
[05:11] Keith
    Still, if you do see Prince Geordo as...
[05:17] Keith
    Never mind. It's nothing.
[05:25] Catarina
    Heave-ho and here we go!
[05:28] Catarina
    Heave-ho and here we go!
[05:31] Catarina's Dad
    With Catarina back home,
    the whole mansion...
[05:32] Catarina
    Heave-ho and here we go!
[05:34] Catarina's Dad
    no, the whole world just
    feels so much brighter.
[05:35] Catarina's Dad
    Heave-ho and here we go!
[05:39] Catarina
    Working the fields really
    is the best way to relax.
[05:44] Catarina
    I was able to harvest a lot,
[05:46] Catarina
    and I got the fields cleaned up.
    Everything looks great!
[05:49] Catarina
    Oh, I know! I should show Keith!
[05:54] Catarina
    Keith!
[05:58] Catarina
    I guess he's not back from shopping yet?
[06:12] Catarina
    G-Good day, Mother...
[06:17] Catarina's Mom
    Catarina. Come to my room for a moment.
[06:21] Catarina
    Oh, no!
[06:26] Catarina
    I can't believe she
    lectured me for so long...
[06:30] Catarina
    I should go vent to Keith.
[06:33] Catarina
    Keith, open up. It's me.
[06:40] Catarina
    Keith?
[06:44] Catarina
    Keith never did come home that day.
[06:50] Maid
    What could have happened to Master Keith?
[06:53] Maid
    This has never happened before.
[06:56] Anne
    Lady Catarina, please wake up!
[06:58] Anne
    Lady Catarina!
[06:59] Catarina
    Huh?
[07:01] Catarina
    Morning, Anne. Where's Keith?
[07:04] Anne
    We must go see your mother
    about that at once!
[07:06] Catarina
    Huh?
[07:08] Catarina's Mom
    Catarina, read this.
[07:11] Catarina
    A letter?
[07:14] Catarina
    "I can't endure the obligations
    of being the duke's successor any longer,
[07:17] Catarina
    so I'm running away from home.
    Please don't search for me. -Keith."
[07:22] Catarina
    What is this?!
[07:23] Catarina's Mom
    It just arrived moments ago.
[07:25] Catarina
    I can't believe Keith would run away!
[07:28] Catarina
    But this is definitely Keith's handwriting.
[07:31] Catarina's Mom
    I couldn't believe it, either,
[07:33] Catarina's Mom
    so I asked the servants
    all kinds of questions,
[07:36] Catarina's Mom
    and they said he seemed very glum
    and depressed recently.
[07:41] Catarina
    Keith? Depressed?
[07:43] Catarina's Mom
    Yes, and they said
    that when he feels that way,
[07:46] Catarina's Mom
    it's almost always right after
    he's talked to a certain someone.
[07:49] Catarina
    A certain someone?
[07:51] Catarina
    Mother, who could that be?
[07:53] Catarina's Mom
    Well, it's...
[07:58] Catarina's Mom
    you, Catarina!
[08:00] Catarina
    What?! Me?!
[08:02] Catarina's Mom
    Yes, you, Catarina!
[08:05] Catarina's Mom
    According to the servants,
[08:07] Catarina's Mom
    Keith has recently seemed particularly
    depressed after talking to you!
[08:16] Catarina
    Now that you mention it...
[08:18] Catarina's Mom
    So you do see it!
[08:21] Catarina's Mom
    Keith ran away because babysitting
    you became a burden to him!
[08:25] Catarina
    Huh? Babysitting me?
[08:27] Catarina's Mom
    Looking after such a hopeless older sister
    for all these years exhausted him.
[08:33] Catarina's Mom
    But since he's such a kind boy,
    he couldn't come out and say he resented you,
[08:37] Catarina's Mom
    so he wrote that letter...
[08:41] Catarina
    Wh-What should I do?
[08:43] Catarina's Mom
    There's no changing what's been done.
[08:46] Catarina's Mom
    The first thing you must do
    is apologize for everything.
[08:50] Catarina's Mom
    Then, you must do your best
    to avoid troubling him ever again.
[08:53] Catarina's Mom
    If you can convey your intentions sincerely,
[08:55] Catarina's Mom
    I'm sure he'll forgive you.
[08:57] Catarina
    M-Mother...
[08:59] Catarina
    I will apologize sincerely to Keith!
[09:02] Catarina
    And I'll let him know that I'll try my best
    to avoid troubling him ever again!
[09:06] Catarina's Mom
    Good. Give it your best effort, Catarina!
[09:10] ChairmanC
    We will now begin this strategy meeting.
[09:13] FearlessC
    We don't need a strategy.
[09:14] FearlessC
    We just need to apologize to Keith
    for everything, right?
[09:17] SpinelessC
    That is true, but I think we need
    to show more sincerity.
[09:22] SpinelessC
    How about giving him a present?
    Maybe some sweets?
[09:25] HappyC
    Or new seedlings, or some fertilizer
    for the fields might be nice!
[09:28] FearlessC
    Those are things Catarina would want!
[09:31] StudiousC
    So, where is Keith?
[09:34] StudiousC
    The first thing we need
    to do is find him, no?
[09:37] FearlessC
    L-Leave it to you to realize that.
[09:39] SpinelessC
    We'll have to go out
    on a journey to find Keith...
[09:42] FearlessC
    So instead of that famous story "In Search
    of Mother," it's "In Search of Brother"!
[09:46] ChairmanC
    Then, do we agree that we must
    first go on a journey to find Keith?
[09:51] All
    No objections!
[09:55] Geordo
    I'll go with you.
[09:56] Catarina
    Huh?!
[09:58] Catarina
    Oh, yeah.
[09:59] ---
    Prince Geordo and Keith
    were good friends as kids.
[10:03] Catarina
    He must be worried about him.
[10:04] Geordo
    Keith is clever, so I doubt
    we need to worry about him,
[10:08] Geordo
    but it's too dangerous for you
    to go on a journey by yourself.
[10:12] Catarina
    Oh...
[10:13] Anne
    Incidentally, Lady Catarina,
    where do you intend to start searching?
[10:17] Catarina
    Huh? Uh...
[10:19] Anne
    Are you telling me you
    hadn't even thought about it?!
[10:22] Anne
    You were preparing
    for your journey with such zeal
[10:25] Anne
    that I was sure you had a plan!
[10:27] Catarina
    Wh-What should I do?
[10:29] Geordo
    If that's the case, I have an idea.
[10:34] Larna
    Keith ran away?
[10:35] Catarina
    Yes...
[10:36] Geordo
    We can't even begin
    to guess where he might have gone,
[10:39] Geordo
    so we came to ask for your help.
[10:41] Larna
    So that's it.
[10:43] Larna
    In that case, I have just the thing.
[10:49] Catarina
    A teddy bear?
[10:50] Larna
    Not just any teddy bear.
[10:52] Larna
    It's a magic tool.
[10:55] Catarina
    It's not another one
    with a shady history, is it?
[10:58] Larna
    Don't worry. I developed this one myself.
[11:01] Catarina
    You did?
[11:05] Larna
    A certain perver—
[11:07] Larna
    I mean, a certain person of high
    standing asked me to make it.
[11:10] Larna
    It's a magic tool that can find people.
[11:12] Catarina
    It can find people?
[11:15] Larna
    That's right.
[11:16] Larna
    It can track a person using
    one of their possessions.
[11:19] Larna
    The more that possession means to them,
[11:21] Larna
    the more accurately it can
    pinpoint their location.
[11:24] Catarina
    I-It... seems to be moving...
[11:27] Larna
    It wouldn't be very useful if it
    couldn't lead you to the target, would it?
[11:30] Catarina
    What? The teddy bear leads you
    to where the person is?
[11:34] Larna
    That's right.
[11:35] Catarina
    Um... Why a teddy bear, though?
[11:37] Larna
    Well, it's adorable, isn't it?
[11:39] Larna
    I found it at a general store in town
    and instantly fell in love.
[11:42] Catarina
    C-Cute? Is it really?
[11:46] Catarina
    Okay, I'll go back home
    and get something of Keith's.
[11:50] Larna
    Do that.
[11:52] Larna
    Also, I'll be accompanying
    you on your journey.
[11:55] Catarina
    What?! You, too?!
[11:56] Larna
    When you're searching for someone,
    the more people you have, the better.
[12:02] Anne
    We really shouldn't open this
    without Master Keith's permission,
[12:06] Anne
    but since it's an emergency,
    we have no choice.
[12:09] Catarina
    Thanks. I'll apologize to Keith later.
[12:17] Anne
    What are these?
[12:18] Catarina
    They're the birthday
    presents I've given him!
[12:21] Catarina
    Wow! He even has things
    I gave him years ago!
[12:25] Catarina
    An "I'll do any one thing you ask" coupon?
[12:27] Catarina
    When did I give him this?
[12:29] Anne
    You gave that to Master Keith as an apology
[12:32] Anne
    after you fell out of a tree
    and landed on him.
[12:39] Catarina
    Now that I think about it,
    I've only ever caused trouble for him...
[12:47] Catarina
    I'll find Keith, whatever it takes.
[12:50] Catarina
    I have to apologize to him
    for everything I've done!
[12:56] Jeffrey
    Hi there, Lady Catarina Claes!
[12:59] Catarina
    H-Hello, Prince Jeffrey.
[13:01] Catarina
    Why are you at the Department of Magic?
[13:04] Jeffrey
    Actually, I asked Larna
    to make a magic tool for me.
[13:07] Jeffrey
    I came to see how it turned out.
[13:10] Larna
    The item he requested was one
    that could locate people.
[13:14] Catarina
    You mean...
[13:15] Larna
    That's right. The one you're
    about to use on your journey.
[13:19] Catarina
    What?! Are you sure we can use it
    before Prince Jeffrey?
[13:23] Jeffrey
    Oh, I don't mind.
[13:25] Jeffrey
    You can use it first to confirm
    that it actually works.
[13:28] Catarina
    Thank you so much!
[13:30] Catarina
    Oh, um... What did you plan
    to use a tool that finds people for?
[13:35] Jeffrey
    Well, I always want to know
    where my precious little ones are.
[13:39] Catarina
    Y-Your precious little ones?
[13:41] Jeffrey
    Yes! I want to know where the most important
    people in the world are at all times!
[13:47] Catarina
    Is this for some important
    state mission or something?
[13:51] Jeffrey
    It has nothing to do with that.
[13:53] Jeffrey
    I want to use it for personal reasons.
[13:56] Catarina
    Huh? What does that mean?
    Is he talking about stal—
[13:59] Catarina
    No, just stop. Don't put
    too much thought into it.
[14:03] Larna
    Anyway, what are these?
[14:05] Catarina
    They're presents I gave to Keith.
[14:07] Catarina
    I guess he valued them enough
    to keep them all this time.
[14:11] Larna
    I see.
[14:13] Larna
    All right, I'll just borrow one.
[14:16] Catarina
    And how do we use that to find Keith?
[14:19] Larna
    Just watch.
[14:24] Catarina
    Huh?! It's like a dog getting a scent...
[14:30] Larna
    Good boy, Alexander. Now, where is Keith?
[14:34] Catarina
    Huh? Alexander?
[14:36] Larna
    That's his name.
    Rather debonair, don't you think?
[14:39] Catarina
    S-Sure...
[14:49] Larna
    Wow, Alexander! Excellent!
[15:00] Catarina's Mom
    Keep your wits about you, Catarina.
[15:02] Catarina's Dad
    Listen well to what Lady Larna says.
[15:05] Catarina
    I will.
[15:06] Anne
    Are you sure I shouldn't
    accompany you, Lady Catarina?
[15:10] Catarina
    I'll be fine. Even Maria's coming with me.
[15:13] Maria
    You can count on me
    to take care of Lady Catarina.
[15:15] Maria
    I promise I'll find Master Keith, as well.
[15:18] Catarina
    Thanks, Maria!
[15:20] Mary
    Still, where in the world
    could Master Keith have gone?
[15:24] Sophia
    Yes, I'm very worried.
[15:26] Sophia
    I wish I could go
    with you to search for him.
[15:29] Nicol
    This just wasn't the time.
[15:30] Nicol
    We can't lose the entire
    student council at once.
[15:34] Alan
    I'm sure Keith will be fine, though.
[15:37] Alan
    Maybe he just wanted to
    spread his wings a bit.
[15:40] Alan
    Every man has times
    when he just wants to be alone.
[15:45] Geordo
    I will protect you no matter
    what happens, Catarina.
[15:49] Catarina
    Okay...
[15:50] Geordo
    Uh... Your reaction seems
    to have gone back to normal...
[15:54] Alan
    Looks like she's forgotten
    what happened with you.
[15:56] Nicol
    She's probably too preoccupied
    with her concern for Keith right now.
[16:00] Geordo
    I didn't realize it had
    gotten to this stage...
[16:03] Catarina
    Huh?
[16:03] Mary
    Nothing at all!
[16:05] Mary
    Don't give it a second
    thought, Lady Catarina!
[16:08] Sora
    Thanks for waiting, Lady Catarina.
[16:11] Geordo
    Oh, Master Sora. Thank you
    for joining us on this trip.
[16:15] Sora
    Same to you. I'm honored to travel
    with you, Prince Geordo.
[16:19] Sora
    Please feel free to call me "Sora."
[16:23] Larna
    Well, let's get going.
[16:26] Catarina
    Right!
[16:37] Catarina
    Where are you, Keith?
[17:06] Catarina
    We couldn't get any information at all.
[17:09] Larna
    We've only just begun searching.
[17:12] Larna
    Don't look so glum.
[17:14] Larna
    Besides, Alexander says
    we're still a ways off.
[17:23] Catarina
    Seriously, this bear...!
[17:35] Catarina
    Delicious!
[17:38] Catarina
    What is it?
[17:39] Larna
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[17:41] Larna
    It's just so entertaining to watch
    your expressions change so quickly.
[17:45] Catarina
    Oh...
[17:46] Larna
    Being with you is always great fun.
[17:50] Larna
    I can see why all of those
    kids need you so much.
[17:54] Catarina
    They need me?
[17:56] Larna
    In other words...
[17:58] Larna
    I think you are to them what magic is to me.
[18:02] Larna
    Magic is my everything.
    It brings color to my world.
[18:05] Catarina
    Magic does that?
[18:07] Larna
    Yes. Long ago, when I was very young,
[18:11] Larna
    I was horribly bored with the world.
[18:13] Larna
    I could do almost anything with ease,
[18:16] Larna
    so I never found anything fun.
[18:19] Larna
    I was such an unlovable child.
[18:22] Larna
    But one day, a friend gave me
    an entire collection of books about magic.
[18:28] Larna
    They weren't books meant
    for a child to read,
[18:30] Larna
    but after just a quick
    perusal, I was hooked.
[18:34] Larna
    By the time I'd finished
    reading the entire collection,
[18:36] Larna
    I had grown completely obsessed with magic.
[18:40] Larna
    And since I possessed magic myself,
[18:43] Larna
    I tried out various things,
    which hooked me even further.
[18:48] Larna
    You're only the second
    person I've told about this.
[18:51] Catarina
    What? Really?
[18:53] Larna
    Yes. I've only told you and my partner.
[18:57] Catarina
    Your partner?
[18:58] Larna
    My fiancé.
[19:00] Catarina
    What is he like?
[19:01] Larna
    He's a weirdo.
[19:02] Catarina
    Oh, now that you mention it,
[19:04] Catarina
    Geordo once said he was
    the same way as a child.
[19:06] Catarina
    That he could do everything
    and couldn't really get into anything.
[19:12] Larna
    That must mean he's managed to find
    something that he's truly into now.
[19:17] Catarina
    What does that mean?
[19:20] Larna
    Nothing is ever going to
    come of this, is it?
[19:25] Maria
    Lady Catarina!
[19:26] Catarina
    How'd it go? Did you find anything out?
[19:29] Maria
    No. How about you?
[19:31] Catarina
    No leads here, either.
[19:33] Catarina
    Where could he be?
[19:35] Geordo
    If he just ran away, I wouldn't
    think he'd have gone too far...
[19:39] Sora
    I agree.
[19:45] Larna
    Come on, back to the carriage.
[19:47] Catarina
    Okay!
[20:04] (Flashback) Keith
    I hope this will make Sister feel better.
[20:08] (Flashback) Lady
    Keith.
[20:12] (Flashback) Keith
    Who might you be?
[20:14] (Flashback) Lady
    Oh, my! Who am I, you ask?
[20:17] (Flashback) Lady
    You make it sound as if I'm a stranger.
[20:24] (Flashback) Keith
    Why are you...
[20:26] (Flashback) Lady
    Listen, I have a favor to ask.
[20:29] (Flashback) Lady
    You'll hear me out, won't you?
[20:36] Keith
    I don't remember anything after that.
[20:39] Keith
    She was a horrible woman to begin with.
[20:43] Keith
    I knew that, and yet...
[21:00] Thomas
    Long time no see.
[21:03] Thomas
    Why aren't you saying anything?!
[21:05] Thomas
    What, you don't speak
    to lower-ranked nobles?!
[21:10] (Flashback) Young Thomas
    Just get out of here, mistress's child!
[21:14] Keith
    Thomas?
[21:15] Thomas
    Address me with respect!
[21:22] Thomas
    How dare you take that attitude
    toward your older brother?!
[21:24] Thomas
    You think you can address me
    by my first name alone?!
[21:27] Thomas
    What gives a little
    worm like you the right?!
[21:45] Keith
    Sis...ter...
