[00:10] Lawrence
    Thank goodness she didn't lock the base.
[00:12] Lawrence
    Do you sense anyone nearby?
[00:13] Holo
    No. There is no one.
[00:16] Elsa
    I will go search for the items we need.
[00:23] Lawrence
    As long as everything goes well,
    you'll be able to take your time reading.
[00:27] Holo
    You are right...
SIGN    Spice and Wolf
[02:01] Evan
    Mr. Lawrence!
SIGN    Episode 25
    Miracle's Path and
    Journey's Continuation
[02:04] Evan
    Here!
[02:04] Lawrence
    Now we just need to find the right time.
[02:09] Lawrence
    How are things going?
[02:11] Lawrence
    Can you tell what they're saying?
[02:15] Holo
    They are demanding money.
[02:17] Lawrence
    Oh...
[02:20] Lawrence
    He's the one who planned to trap us.
[02:23] Baker
    Hey! What the hell're you doing?!
[02:25] Lawrence
    That's...
[02:27] Evan
    The bread baker. He complains to me the most.
[02:33] Holo
    It is over.
[02:35] Holo
    They have received their final ultimatum.
[02:48] Holo
    "All will be fine if you light this on fire
    and accept the true teachings."
[02:52] Holo
    "Otherwise, we shall declare
    your village pagan."
[02:56] Holo
    Humans always depend
    on others when they are in trouble.
[03:00] Holo
    Yet, there have been times when
    I have depended on humans as well.
[03:03] Holo
    What shall we do?
[03:08] Elsa
    As a servant of the true faith,
[03:10] Elsa
    I cannot abandon my village.
[03:17] Elsa
    So, let us go forth.
[03:32] Iima
    Elsa!
[03:34] Iima
    Elsa! Why?!
[03:36] Elsa
    I'm sorry, Ms. Iima.
[03:38] Mendez
    Well, well.
[03:40] Mendez
    If it isn't Ms. Elsa,
    the successor of Father Franz.
[03:42] Elsa
    It has been a long time, Bishop Mendez.
[03:45] Mendez
    I was told that you ran away.
[03:47] Mendez
    Was your guilt too heavy
    to bear on your conscience?
[03:50] Elsa
    God is always forgiving to those
    who have committed sins.
[03:55] Mendez
    The people of Enberch, who follow the true
    faith, have been suffering under this curse,
[03:59] Mendez
    while the people of Tereo are unaffected.
[04:05] Mendez
    They are obviously under the
    protection of an evil pagan god.
[04:10] Mendez
    We will rebuild a new and proper
    holy church of the true faith here.
[04:15] Mendez
    The false servant of God is a poisonous
     evil snake in sheep's clothing
[04:23] Mendez
    that will face the judgment
    of our most righteous God.
[04:27] Elsa
    That is not necessary.
[04:29] Elsa
    It is true that my faith has wavered at times.
[04:32] Elsa
    However, God has graciously
    shown me the true path.
[04:37] Elsa
    I have met one of His divine messengers!
[04:46] Mendez
    The fact that you claim to have met a divine
    messenger so easily is proof of your heresy!
[04:50] Mendez
    If I am wrong, bring proof before me!
[04:55] Elsa
    Allow me to show you if you have doubts!
[05:03] Mendez
    Let them through.
[05:05] Mendez
    Father Franz was a talented man.
[05:08] Mendez
    He was an admirable servant of God.
[05:12] Mendez
    However, he should have acted
    in accordance with the will of the Church.
[05:16] Mendez
    It also seems like he failed
    to raise a proper successor.
[05:20] Elsa
    The worship of the serpent god,
    Truyeo, is indeed a mistake.
[05:25] Elsa
    However, the mistake itself
    is not completely off the mark.
[05:31] Elsa
    I believe that Truyeo itself
[05:36] Elsa
    is one of God's miracles.
[05:40] Lawrence
    She neither confirmed nor
    denied Truyeo. A clever move.
[05:45] Mendez
    The words of men easily stray from the truth.
[05:49] Mendez
    How can you be sure that they
    were not the whispers of the devil?
[05:52] Elsa
    The divine messenger promised to reveal a sign,
[05:55] Elsa
    to guide the lost lambs of God
    onto the true path.
[06:01] Mendez
    That God would show
    his power to someone like...
[06:04] Villagers
    Th-The wheat!
[06:34] Soldiers
    God! It's a miracle of God!
[06:37] Soldiers
    God!
[06:40] Soldiers
    Th-That's...
[06:42] Soldiers
    Look! The wheat on that carriage!
[06:45] Soldiers
    Only the wheat there grew no ears!
[06:57] Elsa
    God has shown us the true path.
[07:00] Mendez
    I-Impossible. This...
[07:03] Elsa
    Bishop Mendez, I would like you to confirm
    that this is not an act of the devil.
[07:09] Mendez
    H-How?
[07:13] Elsa
    With this.
[07:14] Elsa
    Please bless this chalice.
[07:17] Elsa
    Once you have done so,
    Evan, who mills the wheat of this village,
[07:21] Elsa
    will prove God's righteousness
    with his own body.
[07:23] Mendez
    Wh-What exactly do you plan
    to prove with this?
[07:26] Elsa
    Even the poor may be baptized in God's name.
[07:30] Elsa
    Please cleanse this chalice
    with your own hands.
[07:39] Elsa
    Please.
[07:49] Elsa
    Water poured by the bishop is holy
    and this chalice has been blessed.
[07:54] Elsa
    Take this chalice to him there.
[08:00] Elsa
    Please watch closely.
[08:24] Elsa
    With this, except for one,
    he has collected flour from every cart.
[08:44] Elsa
    This is the truth of God's miracle that
    the divine messenger has revealed to us.
[08:52] Elsa
    If this miracle is false, you should surely
    be able to demonstrate a true one.
[08:58] Elsa
    Bishop Mendez.
    If we are wrong, you must correct us.
[09:06] Elsa
    Will you drink this water?
[09:13] Mendez
    V-Very well. This is a miracle. A true miracle.
[09:17] Elsa
    Then, the church of this village?
[09:22] Mendez
    Legitimate. It is a legitimate church.
[09:25] Elsa
    Then, please put that in writing.
[09:46] Elsa
    Father...
[09:48] Elsa
    Thank you.
[09:52] Holo
    You look envious.
[09:54] Lawrence
    Yeah, I am.
[09:56] Lawrence
    This time, we only worked behind the scenes.
[10:01] Holo
    However, the issue of money still has
    not been resolved. Is that not your job?
[10:06] Lawrence
    You're right.
[10:07] Lawrence
    But I can't believe how completely
    the tables have turned...
[10:17] Lawrence
    Yes, I think I can make things work.
[10:22] Lawrence
    What is it?
[10:23] Holo
    Are you sure you are
    not actually a wolf yourself?
[10:32] Lawrence
    Mr. Riendott.
[10:34] Lawrence
    Please wait a moment.
[10:39] Lawrence
    While they settle the matters of religion,
[10:43] Lawrence
    we still need to settle matters of money.
[10:49] Lawrence
    So, Mr. Riendott.
[10:51] Riendott
    Y-Yes!
[10:53] Lawrence
    I've been asked to handle
    all the negotiations of coin.
[10:56] Lawrence
    I am sure the villagers have no objections?
[11:00] Villager A
    We can't go against the village head...
[11:03] Lawrence
    That's how it is.
[11:05] Lawrence
    Then, let's start with the greatest demand.
[11:09] Lawrence
    We'd like you to keep the wheat.
[11:15] Riendott
    Th-That's impossible!
[11:16] Lawrence
    Why?
[11:17] Riendott
    Wh-Why? There's been a death!
[11:21] Riendott
    My shop's reputation has already been damaged!
[11:24] Riendott
    Besides! Besides!
[11:25] Riendott
    Our contract with Father Franz states that
[11:29] Riendott
    the wheat can all be returned
    if Ridelius' Hellfire is found in it.
[11:33] Lawrence
    I understand.
[11:34] Lawrence
    Then, what's the price for
    accepting the returned wheat?
[11:40] Riendott
    T-Two hundred Ri...
[11:41] Baker
    Don't be ridiculous!
[11:44] Baker
    That's the exact same price you bought it at!
[11:47] Riendott
    Th-Th-Th-Then, one hundred and ninety-five...
[11:51] Baker
    You're still talking nonsense!
[11:53] Lawrence
    Now, now.
[11:54] Lawrence
    Mr. Riendott.
[11:55] Lawrence
    Won't it be bad for you if
    another miracle were to happen?
[12:00] Riendott
    Wha?!
[12:01] Lawrence
    The story of poisonous wheat is actually—
[12:04] Riendott
    No! No! I understand! I understand!
[12:07] Riendott
    One hundred and six...
[12:10] Riendott
    No, fif... f-forty...
[12:20] Lawrence
    Then, let's go with that.
[12:22] Lawrence
    Everyone here is bearing witness.
[12:27] Lawrence
    By the way, Mr. Riendott.
[12:29] Lawrence
    Would you like to buy back
    the wheat you've returned?
[12:34] Lawrence
    I understand.
[12:35] Lawrence
    However, the people of this village don't have
[12:38] Lawrence
    enough cash on hand to pay
    for the returned wheat.
[12:40] Lawrence
    Even with the lowered cost,
    they still lack the funds.
[12:43] Lawrence
    So, I have a proposal.
[12:46] Lawrence
    It's a simple one.
[12:48] Lawrence
    I'd like you to persuade the bishop to allow
    the village to sell wheat under his name.
[12:54] Riendott
    Huh?
[12:55] Riendott
    If you plan to sell this wheat to other
    businesses, I think you should give up...
[13:01] Lawrence
    I am fully aware of that.
[13:03] Lawrence
    So, can you do this favor for us?
[13:06] Riendott
    I th-think I can...
[13:08] Lawrence
    Then, one more thing.
[13:09] Lawrence
    It's possible that the people of Enberch
    will cause trouble in my business.
[13:15] Lawrence
    I'd like you to be my ally in that case.
[13:20] Riendott
    You can't possibly be thinking of making bread?
[13:22] Lawrence
    No, the bakers would definitely
    not allow such a thing. Don't worry.
[13:26] Riendott
    Wh-What in the world...
[13:28] Lawrence
    Now, now. We'll return the money
    once that business goes well.
[13:33] Riendott
    No, I can't accept such a condition...
[13:35] Lawrence
    Of course, I'm not saying you wait for free.
[13:38] Lawrence
    I'm adding on an extremely
    attractive condition.
[13:43] Lawrence
    Why don't we dissolve the contract
    created by Father Franz?
[13:48] Villager B
    Hey! You can't decide that on your own!
[13:50] Villager C
    Even if the village head
    left the negotiations to you!
[13:52] Lawrence
    But, as long as the contract exists,
[13:54] Lawrence
    the town of Enberch
    will continue to resent you.
[14:00] Lawrence
    Am I right?
[14:02] Lawrence
    This contract was abnormal from to begin with.
[14:06] Lawrence
    Contracts should be made to benefit both sides.
[14:08] Lawrence
    That's business.
[14:12] Lawrence
    What do you think? Will you do as I request?
[14:15] Villager A
    Hey!
[14:16] Villager B
    But...
[14:17] Lawrence
    If Mr. Riendott and Bishop Mendez
    are willing to be on our side,
[14:21] Lawrence
    I can suggest a wonderful
    business idea to this village.
[14:28] Riendott
    What are you...
[14:30] Lawrence
    Though, we'll need some
    cooperation from the baker.
[14:35] Lawrence
    Also, can you prepare some eggs and butter?
[14:38] Lawrence
    Honey, too, if possible.
[14:41] Holo
    It seems this proposal
    will result in something delicious.
[14:52] Lawrence
    Don't eat while you're reading.
[14:56] Elsa
    Don't scatter crumbs everywhere.
[14:58] Evan
    Sure, sure. I got it.
[15:05] Holo
    These "biscuit" things are delicious.
[15:09] Elsa
    They are selling well in Enberch
    as a Tereo specialty.
[15:13] Elsa
    At this rate, not only will we be able to return the money, but turn a profit as well.
[15:20] Evan
    Who would have guessed that the flat bread
    you talked about would be this delicious.
[15:24] Lawrence
    Yeah. They're common in the south
    but unknown around here,
[15:27] Lawrence
    so I thought it would be good business.
[15:31] Lawrence
    Even though wheat is used,
[15:33] Lawrence
    it's baked before the blessing
    of the bread-leavening spirits.
[15:36] Lawrence
    It looks nothing like bread, so the bread
    bakers have no reason to complain.
[15:40] Lawrence
    Well, even if something happens,
[15:42] Lawrence
    we've made a profit-sharing contract
    with Riendott and Bishop Mendez.
[15:46] Lawrence
    I'm sure they'll handle it.
[15:48] Holo
    Though, it was difficult to go through
[15:50] Holo
    all the bags of wheat
    to confirm the lack of poison...
[15:54] Lawrence
    Well, we should go soon.
[15:56] Evan
    Huh? Already?
[16:01] Holo
    Well, I guess we should.
[16:09] Elsa
    Please come visit again whenever
    you wish to read the books.
[16:12] Holo
    Then, make sure...
[16:16] Holo
    to have plenty of biscuits prepared when I do.
[16:19] Elsa
    Of course.
[16:20] Evan
    I'll mill a mountain of flour for you!
[16:22] Lawrence
    I see. Then I'll make sure
    to turn a huge profit
[16:25] Lawrence
    with that flour the next time we visit.
[16:30] Evan
    That's right.
[16:31] Evan
    The attitude of the villagers
    has changed since then.
[16:35] Evan
    I've been chosen to take care
    of our negotiations with Enberch.
[16:39] Lawrence
    Oh? That's amazing.
[16:42] Elsa
    Lately, there have been more
    people stopping by the church.
[16:46] Evan
    Even so, Lord Truyeo is still way more popular.
[16:51] Elsa
    True. But...
[16:53] Elsa
    I want to continue my duty
    as a servant of God here in this village.
[17:00] Lawrence
    Ms. Elsa, you asked me a question once before.
[17:03] Lawrence
    Have you found your answer?
[17:06] Elsa
    Yes.
[17:07] Elsa
    You told me that my father was not wrong.
[17:12] Elsa
    I thought over it for a long time.
[17:15] Elsa
    Why did my father collect stories
    about pagan gods?
[17:20] Elsa
    I believe that he wanted to confirm
    the existence of pagan gods
[17:27] Elsa
    to confirm the existence of God.
[17:29] Lawrence
    Yes. I agree.
[17:32] Elsa
    That is the very reason that I believe
    it isn't good for the church of Enberch
[17:37] Elsa
    to refute the existence of Truyeo.
[17:40] Holo
    Well, all of this was
    thanks to the miracle I created.
[17:44] Elsa
    If a creature like you
    can create such a grand miracle,
[17:50] Elsa
    it is clear that our God could easily
    create all living things in this world.
[17:59] Elsa
    And, if Truyeo can create
    miracles as grand as yours...
[18:04] Elsa
    Well, the people of this village
    have a good eye...
[18:09] Elsa
    That's all there is to it.
[18:26] Sem
    Mr. Lawrence.
[18:34] Sem
    Are you continuing your travels?
[18:36] Iima
    You should have said something.
[18:39] Lawrence
    Thank you for taking care of us until now.
[18:41] Sem
    Not at all.
[18:43] Sem
    Our village was saved thanks to your help.
[18:46] Iima
    Elsa and Evan, too.
[18:55] Villagers
    Thank you!
[18:59] Lawrence
    Then, farewell.
[19:17] Lawrence
    Travelers don't leave behind regrets
    in a village, but good memories.
[19:41] Lawrence
    Farewell!
[19:56] Elsa
    May you be blessed by God's grace.
[20:01] Lawrence
    Just like the apples, should we have
    all your meals be biscuits?
[20:05] Holo
    Who was the one that sniffed out
    the poison and created a miracle?
[20:08] Holo
    Without me, you would have been
    stripped naked and burned at the stake.
[20:12] Lawrence
    That's that. This is this.
[20:15] Holo
    Even so, we truly faced calamity this time.
[20:18] Lawrence
    Well, we were able to sell our wheat
    at a decent price. We still made a profit.
[20:22] Holo
    That is all you ever care about.
[20:25] Holo
    My hopes were not fully met
    this time, but I gained enough.
[20:31] Holo
    I believe it was worth the effort.
[20:36] Holo
    So, where are we going next?
[20:39] Lawrence
    Lenos. The town
    you personally left a legend in.
[20:43] Holo
    Oh, is that right?
[20:49] Holo
    Do not make such a greedy face.
[20:52] Lawrence
    I've already eaten plenty!
[20:56] Holo
    Yet, you still have a greedy look to you.
[21:05] Lawrence
    Wh-What?
[21:06] Holo
    It is nothing.
[21:11] Lawrence
    Hey.
[21:12] Holo
    Hm?
[21:14] Lawrence
    I heard of a good business deal...
[21:16] Holo
    Oh?
[21:18] Lawrence
    But...
[21:21] Lawrence
    it's a bit out of the way.
[21:25] Holo
    Then, my travels with you
    will grow ever longer.
[21:28] Holo
    It cannot be helped.
    I suppose I can accompany you.
[21:33] Holo
    So?
[21:40] Holo
    What business is to be had?
[23:07] Holo
    Well, that is enough for today.
[23:10] Myuri
    What?!
[23:11] Holo
    It is late.
[23:12] Holo
    Time for you to sleep.
[23:14] Myuri
    But I still want to hear more!
[23:17] Myuri
    There's more, isn't there?
[23:19] Holo
    The secret to a good journey
    is to take your time and enjoy it.
[23:24] Myuri
    But...
[23:26] Myuri
    He's home!
[23:29] Holo
    Hey, you little fool! Where are you going?
[23:32] Myuri
    I have to welcome him home!
[23:34] Myuri
    Tell me more tomorrow! It's a promise!
[23:39] Holo
    Fine, fine.
[23:42] Holo
    Of course, the story is far from finished...
