**[00:00] Sebastian**
Yes, the plan is proceeding smoothly.
**[00:05] Sebastian**
There is no need for concern.
**[00:07] Sebastian**
Many of the nobles backing
the brothers are quite greedy.
**[00:13] Sebastian**
The master of House Müller used to keep
them at bay, but now that he's gone,
**[00:17] Sebastian**
producing the slightest gust of wind...
**[00:26] Sebastian**
will turn a spark into a fire.
**[00:29] Sebastian**
The rest will follow as planned.
**[00:31] Sebastian**
If you can see the marriage through,
all will proceed in your favor.
**[00:36] Sebastian**
Speaking of... you haven't forgotten
my request for compensation, I'm sure?
**[00:41] Sebastian**
Excellent.
**[00:43] Sebastian**
I'll finally be able to retire in style.
**[02:20] Elsa**
This "curry," as you call it, is scrumptious!

EP 4 The Prince and the Sage
**[02:24] Sasaki**
I'm glad that you like it.
**[02:27] Sasaki**
* Lady Elsa has been living in hiding with*
* the Hermann Trading Company for a while now.*
**[02:32] Sasaki**
*She finally seems to have settled in.*
**[02:38] Sasaki**
*Delicious!*
**[02:39] Sasaki**
*French-san is so talented.*
**[02:41] Sasaki**
* He did an amazing job*
* replicating the recipe I gave him.*
**[02:47] Elsa**
Your familiar is quite charming, isn't he?
**[02:51] Sasaki**
I'm so glad to have him.
**[02:53] Elsa**
I would like very much to pet him!
**[02:56] Sasaki**
Er, well...
**[03:01] Sasaki**
*It's okay?*
**[03:12] Elsa**
He's so soft! I just adore petting him...
**[03:18] Sasaki**
*Lucky her. I wish I could pet him, too!*
**[03:23] Elsa**
He's precious, isn't he?
**[03:27] Peeps**
Ow!
**[03:30] Sasaki**
*Oh, this is bad.*
**[03:33] Elsa**
D-Did this bird just talk?
**[03:39] Sasaki**
Er... I didn't hear anything.
**[03:42] Elsa**
You must have heard it!
**[03:44] Elsa**
He just said, "Ow!"
**[03:45] Sasaki**
I'm sure you must have imagined it.
**[03:48] Elsa**
No, I'm positive he spoke!
**[03:51] Marc**
L-Lady Elsa!
**[03:53] Marc**
You must return to the estate at once!
**[03:58] Marc**
These were found this morning
in the forest out back.
**[04:05] Elsa**
Th-These are... my brothers' swords.
**[04:08] Sasaki**
What happened to them?
**[04:11] Sebastian**
We searched the entire area,
**[04:13] Sebastian**
but all we found were traces of
what appeared to be a heated battle.
**[04:18] Sebastian**
I fear the worst.
**[04:22] Sebastian**
First your father, and now your brothers...
**[04:25] Sebastian**
Truly, no words of comfort could suffice.
**[04:28] Sebastian**
However, my lady,
**[04:30] Sebastian**
despite the depths of your suffering,
I must make a request of you.
**[04:35] Sebastian**
I implore you to assume your place
as the head of House Müller.
**[04:41] Sasaki**
Uh, I'm not sure now's the time...
**[04:45] Sebastian**
Under these unfortunate circumstances,
**[04:47] Sebastian**
Her Ladyship is the only one
with a claim to the title.
**[04:51] Sebastian**
Should she refuse,
the house will be dissolved.
**[04:56] Elsa**
Never!
**[04:58] Sebastian**
You may take the title in name only.
**[05:00] Sebastian**
I shall handle the affairs of the estate
until the time of your marriage.
**[05:07] Sebastian**
Please...
**[05:12] Elsa**
All right.
**[05:14] Sebastian**
You have my deepest gratitude.
**[05:17] Sebastian**
I pledge to you my utmost support.
**[05:25] Marc**
I'm sure they're evacuating.
**[05:28] Sasaki**
Evacuating?
**[05:30] Marc**
Yes.
**[05:31] Marc**
After hearing the king's forces
were broken at the front,
**[05:34] Marc**
many citizens have begun
seeking safer harbor.
**[05:36] Sasaki**
That's right. I'd heard that...
**[05:38] Marc**
I'm told the Ohgen Empire has already
begun attacking surrounding regions.
**[05:44] Marc**
I've seen several carriages
loaded with our wares.
**[05:49] Marc**
We ourselves were thinking of taking shelter
in the capital with Lady Elsa very soon.
**[05:55] Marc**
Would you care to join us, Sasaki-san?
**[05:59] Sasaki**
I appreciate the kind invitation,
**[06:02] Sasaki**
but you don't need to worry about me.
**[06:04] Marc**
Truly?
**[06:06] Marc**
I say, this is all terribly sad.
**[06:10] Marc**
Lady Elsa's first duty
as the head of her house
**[06:13] Marc**
may be to abandon the lands her family
has watched over for generations.
**[06:23] Peeps**
I have a request to make of you.
**[06:27] Sasaki**
You want to turn the tides of war?
**[06:32] Sasaki**
You got it. Let's do it.
**[06:34] Peeps**
I'm sorry to ask this.
**[06:36] Sasaki**
Well, shall we use
the usual teleportation spell?
**[06:39] Peeps**
No. We do not know
the enemy's current location.
**[06:42] Peeps**
When night falls, let us
travel there a different way.
**[06:45] Sasaki**
"A different way"?
**[06:51] Sasaki**
Th-This is incredible, Peeps!
**[06:54] Sasaki**
I'm actually flying!
**[06:56] Peeps**
You have machines called "airplanes"
in your world, do you not?
**[07:01] Sasaki**
We do,
**[07:02] Sasaki**
but being able to fly without technology
is something humanity has always dreamed of!
**[07:07] Sasaki**
Could you teach me how to use this spell?
**[07:10] Peeps**
Indeed. I'll do so next time.
**[07:17] Sasaki**
That's...
**[07:19] Peeps**
The Ohgen Empire's forces.
**[07:21] Sasaki**
What do we do?
**[07:22] Peeps**
Blow them away in a single blast.
**[07:24] Peeps**
There's no need to make them suffer.
**[07:27] Peeps**
Watch closely now.
**[07:29] Peeps**
You may learn this spell yourself someday.
**[07:39] Peeps**
I shall begin.
**[07:55] Sasaki**
In an instant...
**[07:57] Peeps**
Its area of effect can also
be focused into a single point.
**[08:00] Peeps**
It's really quite flexible.
**[08:02] Sasaki**
I-Is that so?
**[08:07] Peeps**
'Twas I who performed this deed.
**[08:10] Peeps**
You needn't torment yourself over it.
**[08:13] Sasaki**
Thank you, Peeps.
**[08:16] Peeps**
Now, shall we return?
**[08:33] Sasaki**
What the—
**[08:56] Sasaki**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[08:57] Sasaki**
I thought I was dead for a minute there...
**[09:43] Sasaki**
Viscount Müller?!
**[09:51] Adonis**
Thank you, uh...
**[09:54] Sasaki**
I should introduce myself.
My name is Sasaki.
**[09:57] Müller**
He's a foreign merchant
doing business in my domain.
**[10:01] Adonis**
Truly?
**[10:02] Adonis**
But what is a merchant doing out here?
**[10:05] Sasaki**
Oh, er...
**[10:07] Müller**
Your Highness.
**[10:08] Müller**
I guarantee that this man is not our enemy.
**[10:14] Adonis**
Understood.
**[10:15] Adonis**
Sasaki, you've saved my life.
**[10:17] Adonis**
You have my thanks.
**[10:19] Sasaki**
D-Don't mention it.
**[10:21] Müller**
Sasaki-dono.
**[10:22] Müller**
This is Adonis, the second prince
of the Kingdom of Herz.
**[10:27] Sasaki**
What?!
**[10:28] Sasaki**
*He's a prince?!*
**[10:30] Müller**
I must say, Sasaki-dono, I had no idea
you possessed the use of healing magic...
**[10:35] Sasaki**
It's nothing so impressive.
**[10:38] Sasaki**
In fact, if anyone's surprised here, it's me.
**[10:40] Sasaki**
I don't know how to say this.
**[10:42] Sasaki**
I was told that you'd... fallen in battle.
**[10:49] Müller**
It's true there was a pitched battle
**[10:51] Müller**
in which His Highness and I
were separated from our allies.
**[10:54] Müller**
It's no surprise they thought that.
**[10:57] Sasaki**
So that's what happened.
**[10:58] Adonis**
I'm sorry. Because you tried
to save me, you...
**[11:02] Müller**
It was my own incompetence that
left you in such a state, Your Highness.
**[11:06] Müller**
Sasaki-dono, we're attempting
to reach a nearby settlement.
**[11:11] Müller**
Would it be possible
for you to accompany us?
**[11:15] Sasaki**
But of course.
**[11:16] Sasaki**
I'll gladly travel with you.
**[11:20] Müller**
Then let us make haste.
**[11:39] Müller**
Leave this to me!
**[11:49] Sasaki**
Wow.
**[11:51] Sasaki**
That was brilliant.
**[11:53] Adonis**
I'm indebted to you both.
**[11:55] Adonis**
While I stood back helpless, you...
**[11:57] Müller**
I merely did my duty as your subject.
**[12:00] Müller**
Still, Sasaki-dono, I never knew you
had so many spells at your command.
**[12:06] Sasaki**
Well, I had a good teacher...
**[12:08] Müller**
I see.
**[12:09] Müller**
Your teacher must be quite talented indeed.
**[12:13] Sasaki**
Yes, I'd say so.
**[12:16] Sasaki**
*And he's absolutely adorable to boot!*
**[12:19] Müller**
I'd love to meet them sometime.
**[12:45] Sasaki**
If you'd be so kind!
**[13:04] Müller**
Your Highness, there are
simply too many of them.
**[13:08] Müller**
An elite orc may be leading them.
**[13:13] Adonis**
An elite one?
**[13:14] Müller**
Yes, far stronger than the standard kind.
**[13:18] Müller**
We'd need a full regiment to take it on.
**[13:20] Müller**
You should remain with Sasaki-dono
for your safety, Your Highness.
**[13:24] Adonis**
Understood.
**[13:36] Sasaki**
Hey, did I just hear—
**[13:57] Sasaki**
Viscount Müller!
**[14:06] Müller**
Forgive me.
**[14:07] Sasaki**
It's quite all right.
**[14:08] Adonis**
It will never end at this rate!
**[14:11] Sasaki**
Next time, I'll aim for the head.
**[14:13] Sasaki**
I might just get it to flinch.
**[14:17] Sasaki**
Now...
**[14:35] Peeps**
Pardon my late arrival.
**[14:37] Sasaki**
Peeps!
**[14:39] Sasaki**
I'm so glad you're safe.
**[14:46] Peeps**
An elite orc, hmm?
**[14:57] Müller**
That golem...
**[15:26] Peeps**
Elite specimens can be found in all species
of plants and animals—even humans.
**[15:32] Peeps**
You and I would both qualify
as elite specimens of humanity, even.
**[15:36] Sasaki**
What? We would?
**[15:37] Sasaki**
You're so knowledgeable, Peeps!
**[15:40] Sasaki**
* But that won't show up*
* on my next physical, will it?*
**[15:44] Peeps**
All knowledge has value,
even if it's never used.
**[15:48] Peeps**
I advise you to store it away in your mind.
**[15:52] Peeps**
Also, I apologize for
simply dropping you earlier.
**[15:57] Sasaki**
Oh, that's fine. I managed
to use magic to land safely.
**[16:01] Peeps**
My heart is lightened to hear it.
**[16:05] Müller**
Sasaki-dono, is that bird...
**[16:08] Sasaki**
Excuse me.
**[16:10] Sasaki**
This is my magic teacher.
**[16:14] Peeps**
Do forgive my lack of a greeting.
**[16:17] Müller**
No, I don't mind that part. It's just...
**[16:21] Müller**
Honored teacher,
might I ask you one question?
**[16:25] Peeps**
What is it?
**[16:27] Müller**
Could it be... that you're the starsage?
**[16:33] Peeps**
What makes you think so?
**[16:35] Müller**
Your spellcasting, your manner of speech...
**[16:38] Müller**
I shall never forget them.
**[16:40] Müller**
They perfectly match
that of a man I deeply admire.
**[16:46] Peeps**
It's been ages, Julius.
**[16:51] Adonis**
What?
**[16:53] Peeps**
I am glad to see you hale
and hardy as well, Adonis.
**[16:56] Adonis**
It has been far too long, Lord Starsage!
**[16:59] Peeps**
I crossed to another world in this form.
**[17:04] Peeps**
Forgive me for keeping silent.
**[17:06] Müller**
It is we who should apologize.
**[17:09] Müller**
The root of all this trouble was
the nobility's jockeying for status.
**[17:14] Müller**
I, who did nothing but stand by,
was complicit in your fate.
**[17:17] Peeps**
Do not let it trouble you.
**[17:19] Peeps**
Arise, Julius.
**[17:23] Peeps**
The starsage is dead.
**[17:25] Peeps**
I wish now to live a peaceful life
as this man's pet.
**[17:31] Sasaki**
He's the real reason we were able
to get you supplies the other day.
**[17:37] Sasaki**
He also annihilated Ohgen's forces.
**[17:41] Adonis**
You mean that light we saw...
**[17:44] Peeps**
Indeed.
**[17:46] Müller**
Incredible!
**[17:48] Sasaki**
Viscount Müller, Prince Adonis.
**[17:51] Sasaki**
Could I ask you to keep the matter
of the starsage's revival a secret?
**[17:57] Sasaki**
The only thing he wants now is peace.
**[18:00] Müller**
Naturally.
**[18:02] Adonis**
Yes, I swear to it.
**[18:05] Sasaki**
Thank you so much.
**[18:08] Peeps**
Let us return, then.
**[18:21] Servant**
M-My lord?
**[18:23] Servant**
And... Prince Adonis?!
**[18:26] Muller**
Indeed. We have returned.
**[18:29] Guard**
Th-The master of the house has returned!
**[18:34] Elsa**
Father?
**[18:37] Müller**
Elsa!
**[18:40] Elsa**
Father!
**[18:42] Elsa**
I'm so glad...
**[18:44] Elsa**
I'm so, so glad!
**[18:46] Müller**
Forgive me for worrying you, Elsa.
**[18:51] Marc**
Sasaki-san?
**[18:53] Sasaki**
H-Hello.
**[18:55] Marc**
Wh-What's the meaning of this?
**[18:58] Sasaki**
Oh, well...
**[19:00] Sasaki**
We just happened to run into them.
**[19:04] Sasaki**
It's a long story, but they're both
back safe and sound now.
**[19:08] Sasaki**
Ohgen no longer poses a threat,
**[19:11] Sasaki**
and you can rest easy for now.
**[19:13] Sasaki**
*It'd be way too complicated to explain,*
**[19:15] Sasaki**
*so I'll say case closed with that.*
**[19:18] Marc**
The threat is no more?
**[19:20] Sasaki**
Yes.
**[19:20] Sasaki**
I'm led to believe the Ohgen Imperial
Army was wiped out overnight.
**[19:26] Marc**
Incredible!
**[19:28] Maximilian/Kai**
Father!
**[19:30] Maximilian**
I'm so glad to see you safe.
**[19:32] Kai**
Welcome home, Father!
**[19:35] Elsa**
My brothers?
**[19:39] Müller**
You both played your roles well.
**[19:44] Müller**
I'm sorry I didn't tell you, Elsa.
**[19:46] Müller**
Give her the praise she deserves, you two.
**[19:49] Maximilian**
I'm sorry, Elsa.
This must have been hard for you.
**[19:52] Maximilian**
You did well.
**[19:54] Kai**
S-Sorry we tricked you.
**[20:01] Elsa**
You big, fat dummy!
**[20:02] Elsa**
Kai, you dummy!
**[20:04] Kai**
What?! Why me specifically?
**[20:09] Müller**
My sons, Maximilian and Kai.
**[20:13] Sasaki**
A pleasure.
**[20:14] Müller**
In truth, this was all
part of a plan I devised.
**[20:20] Sasaki**
It was?
**[20:22] Müller**
With the start of the war and an increase
in feuding among the noble factions,
**[20:27] Müller**
there were those in my orbit
who began acting strangely.
**[20:31] Müller**
In order to sniff out any traitors,
I sent false word that I'd died in battle.
**[20:37] Müller**
Then my sons faked a succession feud
and pretended to kill each other.
**[20:44] Müller**
I never thought I'd actually come
quite so close to death, however...
**[20:51] Sebastian**
I don't believe it.
**[20:53] Sebastian**
It was all an act,
and Her Ladyship was kept in the dark?
**[20:58] Maximilian**
Information was leaked
to the house of Count Dietrich.
**[21:01] Kai**
He wanted to force a marriage
between his second son and Elsa,
**[21:04] Kai**
effectively seizing control of our lands.
**[21:09] Sebastian**
That much is true...
**[21:12] Müller**
Count Dietrich is an excellent man.
**[21:17] Müller**
But at the same time, he is ruthless
and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
**[21:23] Müller**
Trust between us has been
on the wane for some time.
**[21:27] Müller**
I'll ask for the full story later.
**[21:30] Müller**
Take him away.
**[21:33] Sasaki**
*Viscount Müller surprises me yet again.*
**[21:38] Sasaki**
* Surely such masterful strategizing*
* is what's kept him alive this long.*
**[21:43] Sasaki**
*I can't even imagine how stressful*
**[21:46] Sasaki**
*the noble society of other worlds must be!*
**[21:49] Elsa**
Hey.
**[21:50] Sasaki**
Yes?
**[21:53] Elsa**
Th-Thank you for saving my papa.
**[21:58] Sasaki**
It was nothing.
**[22:00] Elsa**
That's all!
