[00:21] Lawrence
    What's wrong? What happened?!
SIGN    Spice and Wolf
[01:55] Lawrence
    I said I was sorry...
[01:57] Holo
    Of course, I am happy to give you
    some warmth in this cold.
SIGN    Episode 20
    Church Girl and Miller Boy
[02:03] Holo
    That is why I have turned
    a blind eye to your actions
[02:06] Holo
    and refrained from demanding any payment.
[02:08] Holo
    Even so, Lawrence.
[02:10] Holo
    Are there not things you must never do?!
[02:12] Holo
    This tail of mine is my pride.
[02:15] Holo
    The sole proof of who I am.
[02:18] Holo
    And my tail...
[02:21] Holo
    had its hairs pulled out
    and flattened! Moreover...
[02:34] Holo
    How dare you fall asleep!
[02:54] Lawrence
    We should be able to see the town soon.
[02:55] Holo
    Is that where we can ask about my home town?
[02:58] Lawrence
    Ms. Diana told me that there's an abbot who
    collects various stories of pagan gods there.
[03:05] Holo
    I see.
[03:06] Holo
    So, this abbot lives in that town.
[03:08] Lawrence
    No, the abbey is in a very secluded place.
[03:12] Lawrence
    The only one who knows its whereabouts
    is a church priest in Tereo.
[03:15] Holo
    So, we are going to Tereo.
[03:17] Lawrence
    No. Since we don't know how to get to Tereo,
[03:21] Lawrence
    we need to stop by the town
    of Enberch to get directions.
[03:25] Holo
    What a roundabout path.
[03:36] Priest
    You are very lucky
    to live in the town of Enberch.
[03:40] Priest
    That's because God always stands
    beside those who are properly faithful.
[03:44] Holo
    I wish to eat sweet bread.
[03:45] Lawrence
    After we sell our goods.
[03:45] Priest
    You, who are being taught
    the true way by the official Church,
[03:48] Holo
    Remind me what goods we carry this time?
[03:48] Priest
    have no reason not to be blessed.
[03:50] Lawrence
    You remember, right? It's flour
    that we bought from Marc in Kumerson.
[03:54] Holo
    Oh. Right, right. It was flour.
[03:57] Lawrence
    This is also my first time visiting this town.
[03:59] Lawrence
    I didn't know what kind of
    products were in demand.
[04:02] Lawrence
    Even so...
[04:04] Lawrence
    I thought a town of this size
    would have rich nobles
[04:06] Lawrence
    or a large church that would buy some.
[04:09] Lawrence
    I put at least a little thought
    into the purchase.
[04:11] Holo
    I do not care about such shallow cleverness.
[04:14] Holo
    Why must I eat black and bitter rye bread
    every day when we carry such goods in our cart?
[04:24] Holo
    Though you made a lot of money
    in Kumerson, you are still quite stingy!
[04:27] Lawrence
    Hey, now...
[04:29] Lawrence
    We're not on this journey
    just to find your home town.
[04:32] Lawrence
    We're also here for my trade!
[04:34] Holo
    Fool!
[04:35] Holo
    My cute tail was beaten by your legs!
[04:39] Holo
    It is not fair unless
    I can beat your arse in return!
[04:43] Holo
    No more rye bread!
[04:45] Holo
    I wish to eat soft and fluffy wheat bread!
[04:49] Riendott
    There was a bountiful harvest of rye this year.
[04:52] Riendott
    We don't have the extra
    finances to deal with wheat.
[04:55] Riendott
    Wheat is profitable, so we
    wish we could buy it from you...
[04:59] Lawrence
    I wish we could have
    sold you bread instead of flour.
[05:05] Riendott
    That is how all merchants think.
[05:07] Riendott
    But then, you'd be picking
    a fight with the bakeries.
[05:10] Lawrence
    Are the bakeries powerful here?
[05:12] Riendott
    Very powerful!
[05:13] Riendott
    If anyone other than a bakery bakes bread,
[05:15] Riendott
    they'd come after you with stone rolling pins.
[05:17] Riendott
    Are you looking to create
    a sales channel this time?
[05:20] Lawrence
    No, I'm just trading as I travel.
[05:24] Riendott
    Where is your destination?
[05:26] Lawrence
    I plan to head to Lenos.
[05:28] Riendott
    Lenos? That far?
[05:31] Lawrence
    Before that, I wish to stop by Tereo.
[05:34] Lawrence
    I have some business with their church.
[05:37] Riendott
    Tereo's church? The church
    in Enberch is much grander...
[05:41] Lawrence
    Oh yes, you have a large church here.
[05:44] Riendott
    Our church manages this entire area.
[05:47] Riendott
    We have an extraordinary priest
    named Bishop Mendez, too...
[05:51] Lawrence
    Oh, no. I just want to meet
    someone from Tereo's church.
[05:55] Lawrence
    Oh, by the way, do you know
    how to get to Tereo?
[06:00] Riendott
    There's a direct road, so you won't get lost.
[06:02] Riendott
    It's about a day's travel from here by cart.
[06:06] Lawrence
    Thank you very much.
[06:08] Lawrence
    May God bring us together in the future.
[06:09] Riendott
    Yes, I hope we do business
    together at that time.
[06:13] Holo
    Hey, it seems Tereo is only a day away.
[06:16] Lawrence
    Huh?
[06:16] Lawrence
    Yeah, it seems so.
[06:18] Holo
    If we depart today, we should
    be able to reach it by the morrow.
[06:21] Lawrence
    Shouldn't we rest? Aren't you tired?
[06:24] Holo
    We can rest in Tereo tomorrow.
[06:28] Holo
    I would like to go as soon as possible.
[06:30] Lawrence
    All right.
[06:31] Lawrence
    Let's eat something warm before we go.
[06:34] Lawrence
    We can at least do that, right?
[06:37] Holo
    Well, of course.
[07:11] Holo
    What is that sound?
[07:13] Lawrence
    It's from that.
[07:21] Lawrence
    Since there's a waterwheel, we must be close.
[07:34] Evan
    Whoa, there.
[07:38] Evan
    Sorry. Sorry.
[07:39] Evan
    Say, aren't you a traveler?
[07:42] Lawrence
    That's right. Who are you?
[07:45] Evan
    As you can see, I'm a miller.
[07:47] Evan
    So, where'd you come from?
    You don't look like you're from Enberch.
[07:50] Lawrence
    You have a good eye. Let me ask you back.
[07:53] Lawrence
    How much longer
    till we reach the town of Tereo?
[07:55] Evan
    The "town" of Tereo?
[07:57] Evan
    If Tereo is a town,
    then Enberch is a royal capital.
[08:00] Evan
    I don't know why you're going,
     but it's a tiny village.
[08:03] Lawrence
    I see. So, how much further?
[08:05] Evan
    It's just a bit further down the road.
[08:07] Evan
    You could even say you're already in Tereo.
[08:09] Lawrence
    I see. I understand, thank you.
[08:11] Evan
    H-Hey, there! There's no rush! Right, traveler?
[08:17] Lawrence
    Do you have some business with me?
[08:18] Evan
    Oh, um, business?
[08:22] Evan
    Oh, th-that's right! You have
    quite a beauty by your side.
[08:28] Lawrence
    She's a nun in the middle of a pilgrimage.
[08:30] Evan
    A nun?
[08:31] Lawrence
    Is there a problem?
[08:33] Evan
    Well, it's not a good idea
    to bring a nun into Tereo.
[08:37] Lawrence
    Oh?
[08:39] Lawrence
    We have business with the church in Tereo.
[08:42] Lawrence
    It shouldn't be a problem
    for a nun to visit a church.
[08:45] Evan
    W-Well, how should I put this,
[08:47] Evan
    there's a fight going on with the annoying
    people from the Church of Enberch.
[08:53] Evan
    Won't things get complicated
    if a traveling nun gets involved?
[08:57] Lawrence
    I see. Well, we'll be careful.
[09:00] Lawrence
    No one would mind if we visited as long
    as she isn't dressed as a nun, right?
[09:04] Evan
    That would be great.
[09:06] Evan
    But what business do you have with the church?
[09:08] Lawrence
    We came to ask for directions.
[09:10] Evan
    Directions?
[09:12] Evan
    So, you didn't come here to do business.
[09:15] Evan
    I was hoping to help if you were.
[09:18] Lawrence
    I'll come to you if that happens.
[09:19] Lawrence
    May I pass now?
[09:31] Lawrence
    My name is Kraft Lawrence.
[09:34] Lawrence
    What's yours?
[09:35] Evan
    Evan!
[09:36] Evan
    Gyoam Evan!
[09:38] Lawrence
    Evan. Got it. I'll remember your name.
[09:41] Evan
    Yeah, don't forget it!
[09:45] Evan
    Please stop by on your way out, too!
[10:05] Holo
    His eyes were more on you than me.
[10:07] Lawrence
    Well, he's a miller.
[10:09] Lawrence
    He probably doesn't have an easy life.
[10:10] Holo
    Is that so?
[10:11] Lawrence
    It's like being a shepherd.
[10:14] Lawrence
    It's a necessary job, but a lot of
    towns and villages don't like them.
[10:18] Lawrence
    You have wheat in that pouch, right?
[10:20] Lawrence
    If you were to hull and grind that much wheat,
[10:22] Lawrence
    how much do flour do you think it'll yield?
[10:24] Holo
    I was just a god of harvest.
    I do not know such a thing.
[10:29] Lawrence
    Let's say you have this much grain.
[10:32] Lawrence
    If you hull it and grind it into flour,
    you'll have about this much at the end.
[10:36] Holo
    That little?
[10:39] Lawrence
    They say that millers at the waterwheel 
    always steal some of the flour.
[10:44] Lawrence
    Also, waterwheels are usually
    owned by the landlord.
[10:47] Lawrence
    Who do you think collects the taxes from
    everyone who grinds their wheat there?
[10:51] Holo
    I assume it would be the miller.
[10:53] Lawrence
    That's right.
[10:54] Lawrence
    Nobody pays their taxes happily.
[10:57] Lawrence
    So, who do they end up hating?
[11:01] Holo
    I see.
[11:02] Holo
    Then, the reason that whelp
    was wagging his tail at you...
[11:05] Lawrence
    Yes, he's probably dying to find
    a way to leave this village.
[11:09] Lawrence
    There has to be someone running the grinder,
[11:12] Lawrence
    but most people are suspicious of them
    and hate them. It's a thankless job.
[11:18] Holo
    A familiar story to me...
[11:21] Lawrence
    But it's a necessary job.
[11:25] Lawrence
    There are people who appreciate it, too.
[11:58] Holo
    What a large stone.
[12:00] Lawrence
    It's probably used for festival ceremonies,
    dancing, or holding meetings.
[12:06] Lawrence
    Hello. Nice to meet you.
[12:59] Elsa
    Who is it?
[13:00] Lawrence
    I apologize for the sudden visit.
[13:03] Lawrence
    I am a traveling merchant named Lawrence.
[13:06] Elsa
    A traveling merchant?
[13:07] Lawrence
    Yes, I came from Kumerson.
[13:10] Elsa
    And, who is she?
[13:12] Lawrence
    Due to some circumstances,
    she is currently traveling with me.
[13:21] Elsa
    What business do you have here?
[13:23] Lawrence
    I'd like to meet with
    the priest of this church.
[13:28] Elsa
    I am not an official priest, but...
[13:33] Elsa
    My name is Elsa Schtingheim,
    and I am responsible for this church.
[13:37] Lawrence
    Huh?
[13:38] Elsa
    So, what business do you have?
[13:40] Lawrence
    W-We came to ask for directions.
[13:42] Elsa
    Directions?
[13:43] Lawrence
    I am looking for the directions
    to Diendran Abbey.
[13:46] Lawrence
    The abbot, Louis Lana Schtinghilt,
    should be caring for it.
[13:51] Elsa
    I do not know!
[13:55] Lawrence
    I heard there was a priest
    named Father Franz here.
[13:59] Elsa
    Father Franz passed away last summer!
[14:01] Lawrence
    Huh?
[14:01] Elsa
    Are you satisfied now?!
[14:02] Elsa
    I don't know about the abbey
    you speak of and I'm very busy!
[14:07] Lawrence
    R-Right...
[14:10] Holo
    She really disliked you.
[14:13] Lawrence
    Is it because I didn't give a donation?
[14:16] Lawrence
    Is it true that Father Franz is dead?
[14:19] Holo
    She doesn't seem to be lying. However...
[14:22] Lawrence
    Yeah.
[14:23] Lawrence
    She's definitely lying about
    not knowing about the abbey.
[14:30] Holo
    It has been so long...
[14:32] Lawrence
    It's a pretty small village.
    Don't cause any problems.
[14:36] Holo
    That will depend on your attitude.
[14:41] Holo
    I am a bit sleepy.
[14:42] Holo
    May I sleep?
[14:44] Lawrence
    What if I say no?
[14:47] Holo
    I will just doze off at your side.
[14:53] Lawrence
    Well, I know you're really tired.
[14:56] Lawrence
    As my traveling companion,
    I would appreciate you resting
[14:58] Lawrence
    before getting sick from exhaustion.
[15:00] Holo
    Yes. Then, I shall rest now.
[15:03] Lawrence
    Before that, you should take off your robe,
[15:05] Lawrence
    fold my coat that you just tossed aside,
[15:08] Lawrence
    and properly rest under the blankets.
[15:13] Lawrence
    If the clothes aren't folded properly
    by the time I come back,
[15:17] Lawrence
    your dinner will drop in quality.
[15:19] Holo
    I know you are too kind to do such a thing.
[15:22] Lawrence
    You'll get yourself hurt one of these days.
[15:25] Holo
    Only if you do something about it.
[15:27] Holo
    Where are you going now?
[15:29] Lawrence
    Since it looks like we're
    going to stay here a bit,
[15:32] Lawrence
    I want to go and greet the head of the village.
[15:34] Lawrence
    I may be able to ask him about the abbey, too.
[15:38] Lawrence
    So, be obedient and sleep.
[15:42] Holo
    Yes...
[15:44] Lawrence
    I won't have any gifts for you, though.
[15:46] Holo
    I do not mind.
[15:49] Holo
    All I ask is that you return.
[15:53] Holo
    That foolish face of yours is enough of a gift.
[15:57] Holo
    I've already received my gift.
[15:59] Holo
    Good night.
[16:02] Lawrence
    Sleep well.
[16:23] Lawrence
    Is anyone home?
[16:25] Kemp
    Coming.
[16:28] Kemp
    Yes, yes. Who is it?
[16:30] Lawrence
    I apologize for the sudden visit.
    I'm a traveling merchant...
[16:34] Kemp
    Oh, my!
[16:34] Kemp
    Elder! It's the rumored man!
[16:38] Kemp
    Elder!
[16:41] Kemp
    See, here he is!
[16:42] Sem
    Ms. Kemp, you're being rude to our guest.
[16:46] Kemp
    Yes, yes.
[16:47] Sem
    Please forgive our terrible manners.
[16:51] Sem
    I am the head of Tereo Village. My name is Sem.
[16:58] Lawrence
    Were you in the middle of something?
[17:00] Sem
    No, no.
[17:01] Sem
    We're in the middle of turning
    the wheat we harvested into bread.
[17:15] Sem
    Please be at ease. It isn't alive.
[17:18] Lawrence
    It's stuffed?
[17:21] Sem
    Now then.
[17:22] Sem
    What business do you have here?
[17:25] Lawrence
    First, I wanted to give you my regards.
[17:28] Lawrence
    This is some of the wheat flour
    I have brought with me.
[17:30] Sem
    Goodness!
[17:32] Sem
    Lately, business is the first word
    out of other traveling merchants.
[17:37] Sem
    And, your second goal?
[17:39] Lawrence
    I am looking for an abbey.
[17:44] Lawrence
    I asked about its whereabouts
    at the church earlier, but they didn't know.
[17:49] Sem
    Is that so?
[17:51] Sem
    I know of no abbey in this area...
[17:54] Lawrence
    I heard that Father Franz
    would know the location of the abbey.
[17:58] Sem
    Father Franz passed away last summer.
[18:01] Lawrence
    I heard.
[18:02] Sem
    We lost a good man.
[18:05] Sem
    He devoted many years
    of his life to this village.
[18:12] Lawrence
    Has Ms. Elsa taken his place?
[18:14] Sem
    Yes. She's quite young,
    so I'm sure you were surprised.
[18:18] Lawrence
    Yes. So, then—
[18:21] Man
    Elder!
[18:22] Sem
    It seems something has happened.
[18:25] Lawrence
    It's always busy right after the harvest.
[18:27] Sem
    I'm sorry I couldn't do more for you...
[18:29] Man
    Elder!
[18:32] Man
    I was told to bring this here!
[18:35] Man
    Sorry it took so long! The roads were...
[18:51] Lawrence
    I should get some sleep myself.
[19:07] Holo
    I recall you said the quality
    of dinner would drop
[19:09] Holo
    if the clothes were not folded
    and I was not under the covers?
[19:12] Lawrence
    You're too kind to do something like that.
[19:18] Lawrence
    I must have slept a long time.
[19:20] Holo
    Was I not so kind that I did not wake you
    even though my stomach rumbled?
[19:25] Lawrence
    So, you didn't sadly sneak
    the coins out of my purse?
[19:34] Lawrence
    It seems night falls quickly here.
[19:36] Lawrence
    There is no one in the square.
[19:38] Holo
    No stalls, either.
    Will we be able to find dinner?
[19:42] Lawrence
    I'm sure we'll be fine at the tavern.
[19:43] Holo
    Yes. Then, let us hurry.
[19:46] Lawrence
    I just woke up...
[19:50] Lawrence
    Okay. I got it...
[19:53] Lawrence
    What's that?
[20:05] Lawrence
    Don't pop out like that. That surprised me.
[20:08] Holo
    What is he doing?
[20:10] Lawrence
    Seems like he's heading toward the church.
[20:12] Holo
    How suspicious.
[20:17] Lawrence
    We're definitely more suspicious.
[20:26] Holo
    I see...
[20:30] Lawrence
    Only gods are allowed to peek
    into the lives of people.
[20:35] Holo
    Are you not interested?
[20:38] Lawrence
    I'm surprised you'd be
    so interested in such gossip.
[20:41] Holo
    What is wrong with being interested?
[20:43] Lawrence
    It's hardly praiseworthy behavior.
[20:46] Holo
    I am not only interested
    because of mere curiosity.
[20:52] Holo
    I would rather call it studying.
[20:55] Lawrence
    Studying?
[20:56] Holo
    Yes. Studying.
[20:58] Holo
    To study how you and I would
    look in the eyes of others.
[21:06] Holo
    Is it not necessary to see things
    from another perspective?
[21:14] Holo
    So, that is how it looks
    when others see me with you.
[21:25] Holo
    Well, I do not think
    we pale in comparison to them.
[21:29] Holo
    Right, Lawrence?
[21:35] Holo
    Hey, you.
[21:40] Holo
    Are you listening?
[21:46] Holo
    I am hungry.
[21:54] Lawrence
    You're right.
[21:55] Lawrence
    We should get some food
    and gather some information.
[21:58] Holo
    Yes, we must seek out
    the location of the abbey.
[22:01] Lawrence
    No, I'm going to change how we go about this.
[22:03] Holo
    Oh?
[22:04] Lawrence
    I think Elsa and Sem both know about the abbey.
[22:09] Lawrence
    Even so, they're pretending that they don't.
[22:12] Lawrence
    So, I'm going to look into why first.
