[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! [02:21] sign     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!
