[00:01] Knight
Lady Elsa!
[00:05] French
Lady Elsa!
[00:08] Müller
Did you find her?
[00:09] Maximilan
I'm afraid not.
[00:11] Kai
Nor I.
[00:16] Müller
Elsa...

EP 8 Suspicions and Sightseeing
[01:52] Shizuka
So humans live in the fairy world, do they?
[01:55] Shizuka
I had no idea.
[01:58] Shizuka
And that outfit you're wearing...
[02:01] Shizuka
It looks a bit too detailed
to be some sort of costume.
[02:06] Shizuka
Not to mention the jewelry.
[02:10] Shizuka
Could they perhaps be genuine?
[02:13] Shizuka
They have a curiously intense luster.
[02:18] Elsa
Sasaki, who is this person?
[02:21] Sasaki
Er, I'm terribly sorry.
[02:23] Sasaki
Could you please give us a few moments alone?
[02:26] Shizuka
What's this? Why so uncomfortable?
[02:30] Shizuka
I'd love to hear what she has to say.
[02:35] Sasaki
It's a rather delicate subject, you see...
[02:40] Shizuka
Suit yourself.
[02:41] Sasaki
I really appreciate it.
[02:43] Sasaki
What am I going to do?
[02:44] Sasaki
Futari Shizuka knows about Lady Elsa!
[02:48] Sasaki
I seriously have to watch what I say,
[02:51] Sasaki
or else she'll learn that all
my talk about magical men
[02:54] Sasaki
and Java sparrow fairies was bull!
[02:57] Sasaki
I have to find a way to cover up
the existence of the other world!
[03:00] Sasaki
But I can't think up a decent excuse...
[03:03] Sasaki
On top of that, Hoshizaki-san said
this lady's a shrewd operator.
[03:07] Sasaki
Saying the wrong thing could
easily make the bleeding worse!
[03:12] Peeps
Rest easy.
[03:14] Peeps
She cannot understand
the language of my world.
[03:19] Peeps
As the words you say
are heard by those around you,
[03:24] Peeps
they are also filtered, through my magic,
to be understandable by its locals.
[03:29] Peeps
However,
[03:31] Peeps
what she speaks is heard by the denizens
of this world as an otherworldly language.
[03:38] Peeps
The reverse is also true.
They cannot understand each other.
[03:42] Sasaki
Oh, I see.
[03:44] Sasaki
An unexpected but welcome development.
[03:46] Sasaki
The chances of Elsa spilling information
[03:49] Sasaki
about her world to Futari Shizuka
are practically nil this way.
[03:55] Sasaki
Lady Elsa.
[03:57] Sasaki
Could you please explain yourself?
[04:01] Elsa
Fine.
[04:06] Sasaki
You think we're behind it?
[04:09] Elsa
W-Well, you are, aren't you?!
[04:12] Elsa
Marc was imprisoned the day you visited.
[04:16] Elsa
And despite all your talk of saving him,
[04:18] Elsa
you're just sneaking around,
smuggling gold ingots!
[04:23] Elsa
You received that gold as payment
[04:26] Elsa
for selling Marc out
to Count Dietrich, didn't you?!
[04:34] Sasaki
I understand how it looks that way.
[04:39] Elsa
You're saying it's not true, then?
[04:41] Sasaki
Yes.
[04:42] Sasaki
What I'm doing is necessary
in order to save Marc-san.
[04:46] Elsa
H-How, exactly?!
[04:48] Sasaki
I earned this gold in the
course of doing business.
[04:52] Sasaki
I intend to use it to make a profit
trading with this woman,
[04:57] Sasaki
then buy Marc-san back into good standing.
[05:01] Elsa
Is that true?
[05:03] Sasaki
Yes.
[05:04] Sasaki
But I'm afraid your presence here
has cast the deal into doubt.
[05:14] Sasaki
Please, Lady Elsa, rest easy.
[05:17] Sasaki
I would never betray your father
or abandon Marc-san.
[05:24] Elsa
Sasaki, is it all right for me to trust you?
[05:28] Sasaki
I swear I speak the truth.
[05:38] Peeps
You've shown your true colors, child!
[05:48] Peeps
What did you hope to accomplish
by reaching for her?
[05:53] Shizuka
What's this now?
[05:54] Shizuka
Fairy magic?
[05:58] Elsa
S-Sasaki!
[05:59] Elsa
What is she trying to do?
[06:01] Sasaki
I'd like to know that myself.
[06:04] Sasaki
Just what is the meaning of this?
[06:08] Shizuka
Please. I merely saw a bug
crawling on her shoulder.
[06:13] Shizuka
I was going to brush it off.
[06:16] Peeps
I don't mind dispensing with you here and now.
[06:21] Peeps
I shall place a curse upon you.
[06:24] Shizuka
A curse? What are you on about?
[06:27] Peeps
It should force you to show us obedience.
[06:33] Peeps
I suggest you take it seriously.
[06:37] Shizuka
W-Wait!
[06:40] Shizuka
I didn't mean anything by it...
[06:54] Shizuka
What have you done to me?
[06:56] Peeps
Behold the back of your right hand.
[07:01] Peeps
Every time you feel hostility
or malice toward us,
[07:07] Peeps
the crest will encroach
further into your flesh.
[07:10] Peeps
It has only seized your hand for now,
[07:12] Peeps
but it will continue its spread.
[07:14] Peeps
Once it encases your entire body,
[07:17] Peeps
you'll be reduced to
an unsightly lump of flesh.
[07:23] Peeps
Not even the greatest
regenerative powers can save you
[07:26] Peeps
from the destruction this curse
will wreak on your body.
[07:30] Peeps
If you fear eternal existence with
no faculties outside of your own mind,
[07:37] Peeps
I suggest you strive to purge yourself
of negative intentions toward us.
[07:50] Peeps
You're a rather decisive one, aren't you?
[07:55] Shizuka
I see.
[07:59] Shizuka
I thought I could exploit a weakness to get
this midlife magical man into my thrall.
[08:04] Shizuka
But it seems you've bested me yet again.
[08:12] Sasaki
Lady Elsa.
[08:14] Sasaki
As you can see, it's quite dangerous here.
[08:17] Sasaki
Please, allow me to return you
to your home at once.
[08:22] Elsa
Wait, Sasaki!
[08:24] Sasaki
What is it?
[08:26] Elsa
There's so much I want to ask you.
[08:30] Sasaki
I'll pay you a visit
after I see you home, of course.
[08:35] Elsa
I want to know now.
[08:38] Elsa
What is this place? Who are you people?
[08:42] Elsa
Please, tell me!
[08:44] Sasaki
But what can I say to her?
[08:48] Sasaki
My standing with her greatly affects
my standing with Count Müller.
[08:53] Sasaki
Ruining your relationship with someone
by crossing their family happens all the time.
[08:59] Sasaki
This is serious business.
[09:01] Sasaki
What can I do to make you trust me?
[09:07] Sasaki
Shall we see the sights, then?
[09:11] Elsa
The sights?
[09:26] Elsa
This "ferry" was surprising enough,
but the buildings are even more so!
[09:33] Elsa
Is this really your hometown?
[09:37] Sasaki
Well? Do you trust me now?
[09:42] Elsa
F-Fine, I trust you.
[09:46] Elsa
I mean... I kind of have to, don't I?
[09:50] Elsa
There's nothing like this in the Kingdom
of Herz or any of the surrounding lands.
[09:56] Sasaki
I appreciate your understanding.
[10:03] Elsa
Why did you come to our world, Sasaki?
[10:07] Sasaki
What do you mean?
[10:09] Elsa
What could someone from a world this
prosperous possibly be seeking in ours?
[10:18] Sasaki
That's a good question.
[10:21] Sasaki
Harmonious relations
between the two, I suppose.
[10:27] Sasaki
That much is true.
[10:29] Sasaki
I just left out that I'm also doing it
for personal satisfaction and delicious food.
[10:35] Elsa
I see.
[10:38] Shizuka
Pardon me. Would you kindly
include me in your little conversation?
[10:42] Shizuka
I prepared clothes for the girl
and even rented out this ferry!
[10:47] Shizuka
It's a bit cruel to leave me out entirely.
[10:51] Sasaki
We're not leaving you out, I promise.
[10:53] Sasaki
She was just saying she thinks
your kimono is fabulous.
[10:58] Shizuka
Was she? Really?!
[11:01] Sasaki
She was complimenting
the beautiful color coordination.
[11:05] Shizuka
My, my! I'm tickled you appreciate it.
[11:09] Shizuka
But in that case...
[11:12] Shizuka
Perhaps I'll pick out
a kimono for her as well.
[11:16] Sasaki
Lady Elsa, that structure there is Tokyo Tower.
[11:22] Shizuka
Hey!
[11:30] Elsa
Squee!
[11:34] Sasaki
Squee!
[11:35] Shizuka
Hey!
[12:05] Elsa
Sasaki! What is this food called?!
[12:08] Elsa
It's so sweet and crispy and airy...
[12:11] Elsa
I've never tasted anything like it!
[12:12] Sasaki
I'm glad to hear you like it.
[12:17] Elsa
Y-You should have some now!
[12:22] Shizuka
You can't have mine.
[12:26] Idol
Hello, everyone!
[12:28] Idol
I'm here in the Hamarikyu Gardens!
[12:32] Idol
The cosmos are in bloom this time of year...
[12:35] Sasaki
We should probably give that a wide berth.
[12:39] Sasaki
Lady Elsa, we've run into a bit of trouble.
[12:42] Sasaki
We should head elsewhere.
[12:47] Idol
Look at this pretty visitor!
[12:49] Idol
And where are you from?
[12:52] Sasaki
This program isn't live, by chance, is it?
[12:56] Idol
It is! We're broadcasting live!
[12:59] Sasaki
I'm sorry, but could you please
take the camera off us?
[13:03] Idol
I-I suppose.
[13:05] Idol
So sorry to put you on the spot!
[13:10] Elsa
Sasaki, what was that person...
[13:15] Boy
Mama! It's TV! People from TV!
[13:23] Elsa
Levitation!
[13:33] Elsa
Honestly. What a careless child!
[13:36] Sasaki
Futari Shizuka-san.
[13:37] Shizuka
The work never ends with you, does it?
[13:42] Shizuka
It's not nice to film people
without their permission.
[13:49] Idol
Y-You—
[13:59] Elsa
Hey, Sasaki! What's going on?
[14:01] Sasaki
I'll explain everything later, Lady Elsa.
[14:05] Sasaki
For now...
[14:06] Shizuka
We run!
[14:09] Shizuka
Has the Bureau been informed?
[14:11] Sasaki
Like the manual says!
[14:13] Shizuka
You've really stepped in it, haven't you?
[14:15] Shizuka
The Bureau will surely
have their eye on this girl.
[14:20] Sasaki
I'd appreciate your help avoiding that!
[14:22] Shizuka
I suppose your little curse does
make it impossible for me to refuse.
[14:28] Sasaki
Our fates are linked, after all.
[14:30] Sasaki
In exchange, I'll guarantee your safety.
[14:33] Shizuka
Oh? In that case,
I suppose I'll lend you my aid.
[14:43] Sasaki
They got here way too fast.
[14:46] Shizuka
This would suggest
[14:48] Shizuka
they've been watching us for a while.
[14:52] Sasaki
Let's go.
[14:55] Akutsu
I certainly didn't expect to be
meeting with you again so soon.
[15:01] Shizuka
I'm just a busy little bee, aren't I?
[15:05] Shizuka
I got right down to work.
[15:10] Akutsu
Is this the fruit of your labor, then?
[15:12] Sasaki
No, this is a psychic that
Futari Shizuka-san knows.
[15:17] Akutsu
I was under the impression other countries
[15:20] Akutsu
handled psychics not dissimilarly
from the way we do.
[15:26] Akutsu
I'd like to speak with you directly, if I may.
[15:32] Elsa
Sasaki, I think this man is talking to me.
[15:38] Elsa
Oh, that's right.
I'm not supposed to say anything...
[15:42] Sasaki
Yes, that's right.
[15:44] Sasaki
I'm glad she remembered.
[15:46] Akutsu
What's this, Sasaki-kun?
[15:49] Sasaki
I believe she speaks a minority
language as her mother tongue.
[15:53] Akutsu
I see.
[15:54] Sasaki
I'm sorry, but that's about all I know.
[15:58] Sasaki
I'm afraid I'm only accompanying
Futari Shizuka-san,
[16:03] Sasaki
and she's only here for her
in the spirit of friendship.
[16:10] Sasaki
In terms of social hierarchy, Chief Akutsu
has the overwhelming advantage,
[16:16] Sasaki
but Futari Shizuka has the physical one.
[16:19] Sasaki
No matter how powerful his position,
[16:22] Sasaki
he couldn't escape
instant death by her hand.
[16:25] Shizuka
What is it?
[16:26] Shizuka
About to offer a job for your
part-time psychic employee?
[16:29] Akutsu
I respect your friend's circumstances.
[16:32] Akutsu
I won't ask anything further.
[16:34] Shizuka
You don't say.
[16:36] Shizuka
Well, I am truly sorry for all
the trouble I caused you...
[16:41] Akutsu
Now, if I may,
[16:43] Akutsu
I'd like to ask you something
as a contractor of the Bureau.
[16:47] Shizuka
Then speak.
[16:49] Shizuka
I'm sure I can see it done.
[16:51] Akutsu
I believe that within
your former organization
[16:54] Akutsu
is a B-rank psychic capable
of wide-area telekinesis.
[17:02] Akutsu
He acted alongside you to intercept
our operation just last week.
[17:09] Shizuka
What about him?
[17:12] Akutsu
Consider this a request to neutralize him.
[17:15] Shizuka
Would that make this a hiring test
you're putting me through?
[17:21] Akutsu
If you wish to see it that way.
[17:24] Sasaki
Assassinating a former comrade...
[17:26] Sasaki
What a terrifying request.
[17:29] Akutsu
I'll send Sasaki-kun with you for support.
[17:32] Sasaki
What?
[17:33] Shizuka
Oh, I'll feel so much better with him there.
[17:35] Sasaki
Wait! Hey!
[17:37] Akutsu
I won't give you a deadline,
[17:39] Akutsu
but I'd prefer it done as soon as possible.
[17:41] Sasaki
Excuse me...
[17:44] Shizuka
Yes, understood.
[17:46] Shizuka
I'll return swiftly
with his head on a platter.
[18:01] Sasaki
Lady Elsa?
[18:02] Elsa
Sasaki, I want to learn
more about this world!
[18:06] Sasaki
But to what end?
[18:09] Elsa
I want to learn more and take
that knowledge back to my world!
[18:14] Elsa
It's a way I can be useful to my father.
[18:17] Elsa
I can contribute to our house
outside of my ability to marry well!
[18:22] Sasaki
I'm sorry, but I can't let that happen.
[18:26] Elsa
Why not?!
[18:27] Elsa
I won't tell anyone about you or this world!
[18:31] Elsa
Sheltering one girl can't be
that difficult, can it?!
[18:35] Sasaki
No, it would actually be quite difficult.
[18:38] Sasaki
Every individual in our country
is given a number,
[18:42] Sasaki
and we're all monitored very strictly.
[18:46] Sasaki
You don't have one of those numbers.
[18:48] Sasaki
And with your obviously foreign appearance,
[18:52] Sasaki
if the police were to
approach you for any reason,
[18:55] Sasaki
you'd instantly be thrown into prison.
[19:00] Sasaki
Should anything become of you,
[19:03] Sasaki
I'd never be able to face Count Müller again.
[19:08] Elsa
B-But I believe...
[19:12] Elsa
If your world were ever to attack ours,
[19:16] Elsa
we'd be crushed without so much
as a fighting chance.
[19:20] Elsa
Now that I'm aware of that,
[19:22] Elsa
I need to do something
for the sake of my world!
[19:26] Sasaki
That won't be necessary.
[19:29] Elsa
How can you be so sure?
[19:31] Sasaki
Ah, well...
[19:33] Sasaki
I don't think your world is
as weak as you believe it to be.
[19:38] Peeps
I agree with him in that regard.
[19:41] Peeps
Most of the weapons in this world
rely on heat and impact,
[19:47] Peeps
and their operation
is limited by time and cost.
[19:51] Peeps
As long as you erect barriers in advance,
[19:54] Peeps
you should fare well against any attack.
[19:57] Peeps
Also, monsters like wraiths that are all but
immune to damage from impact and heat
[20:04] Peeps
would almost certainly wreak
unilateral havoc upon them.
[20:07] Elsa
T-Truly?
[20:10] Peeps
Indeed.
[20:11] Peeps
Our world is far more versatile.
[20:17] Sasaki
Wait, is Earth actually
the world in danger here?
[20:20] Sasaki
I've resigned myself
to a lonely life, more or less,
[20:24] Sasaki
but I do have a friend or two
I go drinking with when they ask.
[20:28] Sasaki
I've had a few kind work
acquaintances, as well...
[20:34] Elsa
Oh? I've never seen that
expression on your face, Sasaki.
[20:37] Sasaki
Well, this is my hometown.
[20:39] Elsa
Seeing you like that just now
sent a thrill up my spine!
[20:44] Sasaki
Surely you jest.
[20:46] Elsa
You've been scolding me
this whole time, after all.
[20:50] Sasaki
Well, I am rather sorry about that...
[20:55] Elsa
You must be the only person besides
my father who ever scolds me like that!
[21:01] Sasaki
Has Lady Elsa got a bit
of a sadistic streak to her?
[21:04] Peeps
You may rest easy.
We would never do anything like that.
[21:09] Sasaki
Of course. I trust you, Peeps.
[21:13] Peeps
I'm glad.
[21:20] Sasaki
Lady Elsa?
[21:23] Elsa
My father's going to be cross with me.
[21:26] Peeps
He likely will scold you, it's true.
[21:29] Peeps
It's natural for any caring father
to worry about his daughter.
[21:34] Peeps
Fret not.
[21:36] Peeps
We'll help explain the matter to Julius.
[21:40] Peeps
We share in the responsibility
for failing to confirm our cargo.
[21:45] Sasaki
That's right.
[21:46] Elsa
Thank you, Mr. Bird... Peeps.
[21:49] Peeps
Another hour or two will
make little difference.
[21:53] Peeps
Let us learn more
about this world together!
[21:56] Sasaki
That look in his eyes...
[21:59] Elsa
Okay!
[22:07] Peeps
That's known as a biidoro.
[22:09] Peeps
It makes a curious sound
when it's blown into!
[22:14] Sasaki
Yeah, that's a bit off the subject...
[22:19] Sasaki
But I suppose it's fine.
[22:23] Shizuka
Thank you. I appreciate it.
[22:27] Shizuka
I've confirmed the quality
of what you brought me.
[22:30] Shizuka
I'm willing to pay the
initially negotiated price.
[22:33] Sasaki
Thank you.
[22:35] Sasaki
I'd be happy to go through with it.
[22:37] Shizuka
But how shall I pay you?
[22:40] Sasaki
Regarding that...
[22:42] Sasaki
Could part of the payment go
toward acquiring items I ask for?
[22:46] Sasaki
I promise it won't be anything
especially difficult to acquire.
[22:51] Shizuka
Will you be paying me for my labor?
[22:54] Sasaki
Yes, of course.
[22:56] Shizuka
In that case, I'm willing to be flexible.
[23:01] Sasaki
I greatly appreciate it.
[23:02] Sasaki
I'd like to go with that, then.
[23:05] Sasaki
That will make it less likely
to get back to the chief.
[23:08] Sasaki
At this rate, I should be able to ensure
Marc-san's freedom very soon.
[23:15] Sasaki
Peeps.
[23:15] Peeps
Indeed.
[23:18] Sasaki
Lady Elsa, allow me to accompany you home.
[23:19] Sign
The Wanderer
[23:23] Elsa
Very well. Please do.
[23:27] Sasaki
Pe—
[23:28] Sasaki
Peeps?!
[23:35] Sasaki
Magical Field!
