    Price of Betrayal
    and Price of Gold
[02:29] Holo
    Is this our touching reunion?
[02:33] Lawrence
    Holo!
[02:35] Holo
    You look terrible.
[02:37] Lawrence
    They betrayed us.
[02:38] Holo
    I know.
[02:43] Holo
    I am not good-natured enough
    to think this was merely a tumble.
[02:48] Lawrence
    Y-Yeah...
[02:56] Holo
    Goodness.
[02:57] Holo
    There was no need to do all of this.
    I would have come to you in time.
[03:08] Holo
    You are a strange one.
[03:10] Holo
    The only thing you treated
     with care was my cloak.
[03:12] Holo
    You must have something you wish to say to me.
[03:15] Holo
    But let me speak first.
[03:19] Holo
    I may kill humans.
[03:24] Holo
    I believed I could not continue
    my carefree journey with you
[03:27] Holo
    without the success of this plan.
[03:31] Holo
    That is why I kept my patience.
[03:35] Holo
    I am the Wise Wolf Holo.
[03:37] Holo
    I can casually forgive
    the arrogance of a youngster.
[03:47] Lawrence
    You...
[03:48] Holo
    Forget about that.
[03:49] Holo
    I am the Wise Wolf Holo. I am not that
    angry about getting on my knees.
[03:58] Holo
    But what is this?
[04:01] Holo
    You are a dim-witted fool!
[04:04] Holo
    Look at your unbearable state!
[04:07] Holo
    Yet, you still carefully folded my cloak
    and protected it from the rain.
[04:12] Holo
    What an utter fool! Unsaveable!
[04:18] Holo
    How unbelievably good-natured!
[04:24] Holo
    Now, Lawrence, we must
    make haste to Ruvinheigen.
[04:29] Holo
    The leader must
    take responsibility for betrayal.
[04:32] Holo
    That is the way of the world.
[04:34] Lawrence
    No, we have to find Liebert
    and the others first.
[04:36] Lawrence
    Remerio Trading plans to kill Nora!
[04:39] Lawrence
    Nora will definitely be saved
    if you go and rescue her!
[04:43] Holo
    Is that so?
[04:44] Lawrence
    Of course!
[04:45] Lawrence
    Even a hundred fully armed men
    would be no problem for you!
[04:50] Holo
    That is not the problem.
[04:52] Lawrence
    Then what is?!
[04:55] Holo
    I am a wolf. She is a shepherd.
[04:59] Holo
    It is impossible for one to welcome the other.
[05:02] Lawrence
    You're still hung up on that?
[05:04] Holo
    Do you not understand?
[05:05] Holo
    The moment that girl and her dog see me as
    a wolf, they will think I am their enemy!
[05:11] Holo
    I would be in no position to save her life.
[05:16] Lawrence
    Even so, could you do it?
[05:18] Lawrence
    I can't turn a blind eye when I know
    someone will be unjustly murdered!
[05:22] Lawrence
    Of course, I will thank you for it!
[05:25] Holo
    How so?
[05:26] Lawrence
    As long as you don't ask for Nora's life...
[05:28] Lawrence
    I will do everything I can
    to fulfill your wish!
[05:39] Lawrence
    Holo...
[05:43] Holo
    Do not whimper so.
[05:46] Holo
    Here, hold this.
[05:47] Lawrence
    Will you do it?
[05:49] Holo
    Only on one condition.
[05:52] Holo
    I cannot guarantee the lives of those
    who have gotten on my nerves.
[05:55] Holo
    That, you must understand.
[05:57] Lawrence
    That's fine.
[05:59] Lawrence
    Even so, I believe in you.
[06:02] Holo
    That tongue of yours
    has become quite eloquent...
[06:09] Holo
    I have gotten quite a troublesome
    companion for my journey.
[06:14] Holo
    Come, where are your praises?
[06:16] Lawrence
    Oh! What a stunning tail!
[06:20] Holo
    A little wooden, but acceptable.
[06:25] Holo
    Now, then.
[06:26] Holo
    Close your eyes for a moment.
[06:28] Lawrence
    All right.
[06:43] Holo
    Come. Get on.
[06:45] Holo
    You cannot hurt me no matter
    how tightly you grasp my fur.
[06:48] Holo
    Do not hold back when climbing up.
[06:52] Lawrence
    Got it.
[06:53] Holo
    If you fall off, I will carry you
    with my mouth.
[06:56] Lawrence
    I'll make sure not to fall off.
[06:58] Holo
    You know...
[06:59] Lawrence
    What is it?
[07:00] Holo
    I truly do hate shepherds.
[07:04] Lawrence
    It'll be fine.
[07:05] Lawrence
    Whether this smuggling operation succeeds
    or fails, Nora will quit being a shepherd.
[07:11] Holo
    To thank me...
[07:15] Holo
    You must provide me with more
    honey-pickled peaches than I can eat!
[07:42] Holo
    Hey, we are getting close.
[07:45] Lawrence
    Yeah.
[07:48] Holo
    I will jump over them.
    You must get off quickly.
[07:52] Lawrence
    Got it.
[08:12] Holo
    Come on.
[08:15] Holo
    Leave the rest to me.
[08:16] Lawrence
    Yeah.
[08:23] Merchants
    Wh-What's that?!
[08:24] Merchants
    No way...
[08:26] Merchants
    A w-wolf?!
[08:38] Lawrence
    There she is!
[08:38] Liebert
    Protect the shepherd and sheep!
[08:52] Liebert
    Sh-Sh-Shepherd! Protect me!
[08:58] Liebert
    You must protect me!
[09:03] Liebert
    Shepherd! If you protect me,
    I will pay you three hundred Lumione!
[09:10] Liebert
    I leave it to you!
[09:21] Lawrence
    This is bad!
[10:31] Nora
    Enek, stop!
[10:44] Lawrence
    Ms. Nora!
[10:45] Nora
    Huh?
[10:47] Lawrence
    Thank goodness you're safe!
[10:49] Nora
    What are you doing here?
[10:53] Lawrence
    That wolf is Holo. My companion.
[10:57] Nora
    Huh?
[11:01] Lawrence
    You didn't kill him?
[11:02] Holo
    Though I thought about swallowing him whole...
[11:05] Holo
    Gold would not sit well in my stomach.
[11:11] Lawrence
    This must be it.
[11:16] Nora
    U-Um! Wh-why are you
    still alive Mr. Lawrence?
[11:21] Nora
    The m-merchants said
    you were both eaten by wolves...
[11:26] Lawrence
    Ms. Nora, actually...
[11:28] Liebert
    M-Monster! Don't come any closer!
[11:34] Lawrence
    Good evening, Mr. Liebert.
[11:38] Liebert
    Wh-Why are you still...
[11:41] Lawrence
    Holo. Honey-pickled peaches.
[11:47] Liebert
    I wasn't the one who
    betrayed you! It was Remerio!
[11:50] Liebert
    I told him we shouldn't do it!
    I was against it!
[11:53] Lawrence
    Please think of this wolf
    as a proxy sent by our almighty God.
[11:57] Lawrence
    Lying will not work against her.
[12:01] Liebert
    The amount we needed to pay you was too high!
[12:04] Liebert
    As things stood, our own debts
    would eat up the remaining profit!
[12:08] Liebert
    Remerio told me to do something about it!
[12:10] Liebert
    I had no choice but to act!
[12:12] Liebert
    You're also... You're also a merchant like me!
[12:16] Lawrence
    We're not the same!
[12:22] Lawrence
    Remerio Trading has betrayed us.
[12:25] Lawrence
    They planned to kill you as well, Ms. Nora.
[12:29] Nora
    Everything did seem a little strange.
    So that's how it was.
[12:34] Lawrence
    Now, then.
[12:35] Lawrence
    This gold is worth six hundred Lumione coins.
[12:38] Lawrence
    We've been betrayed.
[12:40] Lawrence
    We could give up the smuggling
    and just run with the gold.
[12:46] Lawrence
    However...
[12:47] Nora
    However?
[12:49] Lawrence
    It's true that we wouldn't
    have been able to get this gold
[12:51] Lawrence
    without the funds from Remerio Trading.
[12:55] Lawrence
    And, if we run away with this gold,
[12:58] Lawrence
    they will go completely bankrupt.
[13:02] Lawrence
    So...
[13:04] Lawrence
    Holo!
[13:06] Lawrence
    Things aren't over after getting
    revenge on them for their betrayal.
[13:10] Lawrence
    We'll have to continue living after that.
[13:13] Lawrence
    Then, they may come after us
    to get their own revenge.
[13:16] Holo
    Then...
[13:17] Lawrence
    Don't say you'll bite everyone here to death!
[13:23] Lawrence
    There are many ways to finish things.
[13:26] Lawrence
    If we plan to live on,
[13:29] Lawrence
    we should make choices
    that lead us to that future, right?!
[13:33] Lawrence
    Without you, I would already be dead.
[13:37] Lawrence
    I know that we were only able to
    make it through this because of you,
[13:41] Lawrence
    and I'm thankful that you
    listened to my request.
[13:44] Lawrence
    It's just...
[13:44] Holo
    Enough. Enough.
[13:47] Holo
    My traveling companion
    is truly a troublesome one.
[13:52] Holo
    Do as you wish.
[13:56] Lawrence
    Thank you.
[13:58] Lawrence
    Ms. Nora.
[13:59] Nora
    Y-Yes.
[14:00] Lawrence
    This is my suggestion.
[14:06] Holo
    Now, then.
[14:08] Lawrence
    What?
[14:08] Holo
    Why not tell me the truth now?
[14:13] Lawrence
    Ms. Nora, I'd like you to decide
    what to do with the gold.
[14:16] Nora
    Huh?
[14:17] Lawrence
    Only, if we smuggle the gold into
    Ruvinheigen, it will rise ten-fold in value.
[14:23] Lawrence
    In other words, six thousand Lumione.
[14:25] Nora
    Six thousand...
[14:27] Lawrence
    With that amount of money, we could save
    both ourselves and Remerio Trading.
[14:34] Lawrence
    There wasn't enough gold.
[14:37] Holo
    Oh?
[14:38] Lawrence
    That wasn't anywhere near six hundred
    Lumione. It was closer to a hundred Lumione.
[14:43] Holo
    If you split the gold with her, it would
    barely be enough to pay off your debt.
[14:47] Holo
    There would be no profit
    if we did not smuggle it in.
[14:51] Lawrence
    It looks like Remerio is
    in a really tough spot.
[14:54] Lawrence
    The hundred Lumione worth of gold is
    probably barely enough for him to recover.
[14:59] Lawrence
    He knew he wouldn't have
    enough money to pay us off.
[15:03] Lawrence
    That's probably why he agreed
    to this plan in the first place...
[15:09] Holo
    However, that was quite a lofty excuse.
[15:12] Holo
    It made you sound like a saint.
[15:15] Lawrence
    I meant more than half of what I said.
[15:21] Holo
    Get on.
[15:22] Lawrence
    Are you done questioning me?
[15:24] Holo
    Your foolishness has merely
     rendered me speechless.
[15:29] Lawrence
    Well, we're not really saving
    Remerio Trading for their sake.
[15:34] Holo
    Oh?
[15:35] Lawrence
    It's to further our own profits.
[15:37] Holo
    Further our profits?
[15:40] Holo
    Even I cannot fathom how you would do that.
[15:42] Lawrence
    Merchants can turn all sorts
    of things into money.
[15:45] Lawrence
    I should show you my good side
    every once in a while.
[15:47] Holo
    What do you plan to do?
[15:49] Lawrence
    We're not just saving them.
[15:51] Lawrence
    We'll have Remerio Trading
    pay for what they've done.
[15:54] Lawrence
    Leave the rest to me.
[16:02] Holo
    Then, I think I will drink some wine
    and wait for your good news.
[16:15] Remerio
    Five hundred, you say?!
[16:17] Lawrence
    Yes, I'd like you to buy the gold
    we smuggled in for five hundred Lumione.
[16:21] Remerio
    I provided enough money for a hundred Lumione.
[16:24] Remerio
    How could I pay five hundred for it?!
[16:26] Lawrence
    Too expensive? Then, let's see.
[16:31] Remerio
    Hey! What are you doing?!
[16:35] Lawrence
    I'll take the money you prepared to run with
    and sell the gold to someone else.
[16:41] Lawrence
    You can split the payment over ten years.
[16:43] Lawrence
    You created such a large trading company,
[16:46] Lawrence
    I'm sure five hundred Lumione
    will be nothing to you in the long run.
[16:52] Lawrence
    Well, then. Let's prepare
    the statement of debt.
[16:54] Remerio
    U-Um, who will be owed the money?
[16:57] Lawrence
    The Rowen Merchant Association.
[16:59] Lawrence
    I may not be able to collect
    all five hundred Lumione as an individual,
[17:03] Lawrence
    but the association will be sure
    to collect it in full within ten years.
[17:07] Remerio
    What a fearsome man.
[17:12] Jacob
    I was so worried! You unfilial son!
[17:18] Jacob
    Good job coming back
    to your home in Ruvinheigen.
[17:24] Jacob
    However...
[17:25] Jacob
    You managed to come up with something
    like this when you had no money?
[17:28] Jacob
    What kind of bad things did you do?
[17:30] Lawrence
    I didn't do much.
[17:32] Lawrence
    Well, I just managed to
    bring in some gold. Literally.
[17:36] Jacob
    Gold?
[17:40] Jacob
    Sounds good. I'll buy this loan off of you.
    It's worth thirty Lumione up front.
[17:45] Jacob
    You'll get another hundred once
    Remerio Trading gets back on their feet.
[17:49] Lawrence
    That much? Thank you very much!
[17:54] Jacob
    That should be enough
    to turn some profit, right?
[17:57] Lawrence
    Well...
[18:00] Holo
    So, in reality?
[18:02] Lawrence
    With the trouble we caused
    the merchant association,
[18:04] Lawrence
    the debt payment, Nora's share,
    and a few other things...
[18:09] Lawrence
    Well, we've broken even.
[18:13] Holo
    What? What happened to further profits?
[18:17] Lawrence
    Those profits were what allowed us
    to recover from the loss.
[18:22] Holo
    Now, then.
[18:24] Holo
    There are two things I wish to ask.
[18:28] Lawrence
    What is it?
[18:29] Holo
    How much do you trust that girl?
[18:34] Lawrence
    Even if Nora runs with the gold,
    we'll be able to chase after her.
[18:37] Lawrence
    That was the extent of my distrust
    when I handed her the gold.
[18:42] Holo
    Well, I guess that is about it.
[18:44] Lawrence
    Your second question?
[18:48] Lawrence
    I'll answer anything you ask.
    I owe you so much this time.
[18:55] Lawrence
    Aren't you going to ask?
[19:01] Holo
    I believe the girl should be returning soon.
[19:20] Holo
    Do you...
[19:22] Holo
    Do you remember?
[19:24] Holo
    Whose name did you call
    when I faced the girl and her dog?
[19:31] Holo
    I was so angry that I did not hear it.
[19:35] Holo
    But you must have called one of our names.
[19:40] Holo
    Do you remember?
[19:46] Lawrence
    I called your name.
[19:51] Holo
    You just lied!
[19:53] Lawrence
    Yeah, I did.
[19:54] Lawrence
    I actually don't remember, myself.
[19:57] Lawrence
    Even so...
[19:59] Lawrence
    At the time, I think I called your name.
[20:04] Lawrence
    There was no time to lose.
[20:06] Lawrence
    I'm sure I would have chosen
    your name without realizing it.
[20:10] Lawrence
    That's because...
[20:14] Lawrence
    That's because your name is
    a little shorter than hers.
[20:19] Lawrence
    On top of that, even if I called out Nora
    quickly, you would've realized it.
[20:24] Lawrence
    But Holo can be said in a split second.
[20:27] Lawrence
    You just may not have heard it
    because you were angry.
[20:30] Lawrence
    What do you think? I think it's a convincing...
[20:32] Holo
    Shut up!
[20:34] Lawrence
    Ouch...
[20:36] Holo
    You called my name
    merely because it was shorter?!
[20:39] Holo
    You fool!
[20:41] Holo
    What makes me so angry is that
    you seriously believe that!
[20:47] Lawrence
    H-Hey...
[20:52] Holo
    Come, try calling out a name.
[21:33] Holo
    Hey, you!
[21:43] Lawrence
    Holo.
[21:46] Lawrence
    Holo is definitely much easier to say.
[21:53] Holo
    Fool!
