**[00:02] (Flashback) Emma**
This is a tale from long, long ago.
**[00:05] (Flashback) Emma**
Our Kingdom of Highland
was once the land of the fairies.
**[00:10] (Flashback) Emma**
The fairies loved peace.
**[00:13] (Flashback) Emma**
They loved beautiful things and fun things...
**[00:16] (Flashback) Emma**
and so they lived quietly
and peacefully for hundreds of years.
**[00:22] (Flashback) Anne; young**
But I feel so sorry for the poor fairies now.
**[00:26] (Flashback) Emma**
Yes, the poor fairies.
**[00:29] (Flashback) Emma**
This is all because 500 years ago...
**[00:31] (Flashback) Emma**
humans rose in rebellion
and made the fairies their servants.
**[00:37] (Flashback) Emma**
People say that fairies were fools who
idled away their time and lost to the humans,
**[00:44] (Flashback) Emma**
but Mama doesn't think that's true.
**[00:47] (Flashback) Emma**
There are fewer fairies than humans,
**[00:50] (Flashback) Emma**
so in a contest of strength,
they lost to the humans. That's all.
**[00:55] (Flashback) Anne**
Why do you think that, Mama?
**[00:58] (Flashback) Emma**
Well, just look!
**[01:02] (Flashback) Anne; young**
How beautiful!
**[01:13] (Flashback) Emma**
Here.
**[01:16] (Flashback) Anne**
It's delicious!
**[01:18] (Flashback) Emma**
Sugar candy is a sacred food.
**[01:20] (Flashback) Emma**
They extend the lifespans of fairies
and bring good fortune to humans.
**[01:25] (Flashback) Emma**
And the first ones to make
this sugar candy were fairies.
**[01:29] (Flashback) Anne; young**
Really?
**[01:30] (Flashback) Emma**
And the method of refining
sugar apples into silver sugar...
**[01:34] (Flashback) Emma**
was discovered by fairies.
**[01:36] (Flashback) Emma**
That's how sugar candy was born.
**[01:39] (Flashback) Emma**
And that is why sugar artisans...
**[01:41] (Flashback) Emma**
most especially Silver Sugar Masters,
must never look down on fairies.
**[01:45] (Flashback) Emma**
They must keep company
with fairies as friends.
**[01:48] (Flashback) Emma**
And so must you, Anne.
**[01:51] (Flashback) Anne; young**
I will!
**[02:09] Anne; internal**
*Mama, watch over me!*
**[02:12] Anne; internal**
* I will become a Silver Sugar Master*
* just like you were!*
**[02:29] Anne**
All right, I'm setting out!
**[02:31] Jonas**
Wait! Anne!
**[02:32] Anne**
Huh?
**[02:34] Anne**
What?
**[02:35] Jonas**
Wait for me, Anne!
**[02:37] Anne**
J-Jonas?!
**[02:38] Jonas**
You're just awful,
leaving without saying a word like that.
**[02:41] Anne**
I-I'm sorry. If I said goodbye,
I thought you'd try to stop me.
**[02:45] Jonas**
Even though you didn't say it,
I still came to stop you.
**[02:47] Anne**
Jonas, I'm truly grateful to you
for everything up until now.
**[02:51] Anne**
Your family and the people
of this village were truly good to Mama.
**[02:55] Anne**
But I did tell you, didn't I?
**[02:56] Anne**
I want to enter this year's
Royal Candy Fair.
**[02:59] Anne**
No. I must enter, no matter what.
**[03:02] Anne**
Please understand!
**[03:03] Jonas**
I *do* understand!
**[03:04] Jonas**
I'm a sugar artisan too!
**[03:06] Jonas**
But it will be impossible for you
to travel all the way to Lewiston alone.
**[03:09] Jonas**
After all, you're small for being fifteen.
**[03:13] Jonas**
You're as scrawny as a scarecrow,
**[03:14] Jonas**
and your entire fortune consists of
that run-down cart and the horse.
**[03:17] Jonas**
But I love you just as you are.
**[03:20] Jonas**
So, won't you marry me?
**[03:22] Jonas**
I told you! Ever since the day
you and your mother first came here,
**[03:26] Jonas**
I have been completely entranced by you.
**[03:28] Jonas**
I will fill the hole that
has been left in your heart!
**[03:31] Jonas**
I will make you as happy
as your mother did and more!
**[03:34] Jonas**
After all, I come from a wealthy house.
**[03:36] Jonas**
And we're related by blood to the founder
of the Radcliffe Workshop...
**[03:40] Jonas**
Anne! Wait!
**[03:41] Anne**
Goodbye, Jonas! Take care!
**[03:44] Jonas**
Anne! Wait! Anne!
**[03:49] Anne; internal**
*Jonas would never seriously propose to me.*
**[03:53] Anne; internal**
* He pities me because*
* I've lost Mama, that's all.*
**[03:57] Anne; internal**
*To marry out of pity would be so...*
**[04:00] Anne; internal**
*No, that's not it.*
**[04:02] Anne; internal**
* The thought of marriage itself,*
* of living as someone's wife...*
**[04:07] Anne; internal**
*I want to live my own life!*
**[04:09] Anne; internal**
*I want to chase my dreams!*
**[04:13] Anne; internal**
*Right, Mama?*
**[04:19] fairy hunter**
Take that, you piece of crap.
**[04:23] Anne**
Excuse me, what's going...
**[04:24] fairy hunter**
You little...
**[04:27] fairy hunter**
Take that, you malicious little...
**[04:30] Anne**
A fairy?!
**[04:31] old farmer**
A worker fairy who serves
that fairy hunter there.
**[04:35] old farmer**
He stole his own wing and tried to escape.
**[04:38] fairy hunter**
You thief of a fairy.
**[04:41] fairy hunter**
This is what I'll do
to the likes of your wing.
**[04:43] Mythril**
D-Don't!
**[04:51] Anne**
How horrible!
**[04:52] Anne**
A fairy's wing is its life!
**[04:54] Anne**
Why won't anyone save him?
**[04:56] old farmer**
Well, because he's a fairy.
**[04:58] old farmer**
And the fairy hunter
has a violent personality.
**[05:01] old farmer**
If your attempt to help went badly,
and then he turned on you...
**[05:01] fairy hunter; background**
How's that?
**[05:03] fairy hunter; background**
Never defy me again, understand?
**[05:05] fairy hunter; background**
Swear that you'll never steal
your wing and try to run away again.
**[05:07] old farmer**
H-Hey...
**[05:08] Mythril**
Hmph! Who'd swear anything to a human?
**[05:11] Mythril**
I'll take it back again
and again! It's my wing!
**[05:15] fairy hunter**
Very well!
Then, I'll just kill you right here.
**[05:17] Anne**
If you'll excuse me?
**[05:19] Anne**
Ready and...
**[05:20] Anne**
there!
**[05:29] Anne**
Here you are.
**[05:35] Anne**
Oh, wait!
**[05:37] Mythril**
Bah! I'd never thank the likes of a human!
**[05:39] Mythril**
And don't you forget it!
**[05:43] Anne**
Well... yes. I am one of those
detestable humans, after all, right?
**[05:48] fairy hunter**
You! You let my valuable worker fairy escape!
**[05:52] fairy hunter**
What are you gonna do about it?
**[05:53] Anne**
Well, you were planning
to kill that fairy, weren't you?
**[05:57] Anne**
That's no different from
him leaving like this.
**[06:00] fairy hunter**
Little girl, you...
**[06:02] old farmer**
Hey! That's enough!
**[06:04] villager A**
A grown man like you raising
your hand against a child like her?
**[06:07] villager C**
It may have only been a fairy,
but you were a little too awful to it!
**[06:10] crowd**
That's right!
**[06:11] fairy hunter**
I won't forget this.
**[06:12] crowd**
Go on! Get out of here!
**[06:13] crowd**
Serves you right!
**[06:13] old farmer**
You're very impressive, young lady.
**[06:15] crowd**
And don't come back!
**[06:16] old farmer**
To put that tiny body of yours
on the line for a fairy...
**[06:19] Anne**
It was my pleasure.
**[06:20] Anne**
Despite how I look, I'm fifteen.
In this kingdom, that's the age of majority.
**[06:24] old farmer**
I beg your pardon.
**[06:26] old farmer**
Still, you're a very kind girl.
**[06:30] Anne**
About that... The truth is that I'm not.
**[06:36] Anne**
Sir, where can I find the fairy market?
**[06:43] fairy trader A**
Worker fairies! They're hard workers!
**[06:45] fairy trader B**
Would you like a pet fairy?
I have a collection of beauties!
**[06:47] fairy trader C**
Come, come! Keep hold of one of their wings
and fairies will do whatever you want!
**[06:52] fairy trader C**
Come and buy!
**[06:53] Anne**
Would you happen to have
any warrior fairies for sale?
**[06:55] fairy trader C**
I don't carry anything as dangerous as that.
**[06:58] fairy trader C**
The old man down at the end does have one.
**[07:01] fairy trader C**
But you should give up on it.
It's defective goods.
**[07:03] Anne**
Thank you.
**[07:42] Anne**
*Beautiful...*
**[07:43] Anne**
*just doesn't do justice to him.*
**[07:46] Anne**
*I've never seen a fairy like him.*
**[07:49] Challe**
I thought I saw something familiar...
**[07:51] Challe**
but it's just a scarecrow.
**[07:52] Anne**
A scarecrow?
**[07:54] Challe**
You. I'm talking about you.
**[07:58] Challe**
That's right, Scarecrow.
**[08:01] Anne**
S-S-Scarecrow?!
**[08:02] Anne**
That is so rude!
You can't say that to a girl in her prime!
**[08:05] Challe**
Who cares anything
for the prime of a scarecrow?
**[08:08] Anne**
H-How dare you speak that way...
**[08:10] fairy trader D**
Sorry about that, young miss.
**[08:12] fairy trader D**
My goods have a sharp tongue.
**[08:15] fairy trader D**
If anyone passes by, he calls them names
with no care for who they are.
**[08:20] fairy trader D**
Pay it no mind
and continue on your way.
**[08:21] Anne**
But I do mind!
**[08:23] Anne**
This advice may be unwelcome,
**[08:25] Anne**
but with a tongue like that,
you'll never sell him as a pet fairy!
**[08:28] Anne**
Why don't you just let him go?
**[08:31] fairy trader D**
That's not a pet fairy.
**[08:33] fairy trader D**
It's a warrior fairy.
**[08:34] Anne**
What?
**[08:36] fairy trader D**
Three fairy hunters died capturing him.
That's what an excellent article he is.
**[08:41] Anne**
Th-That can't be true!
**[08:42] Anne**
The warrior fairies I've seen up until now
have been burlier and bigger...
**[08:47] fairy trader D**
For a fairy trader,
trust is the most important thing.
**[08:50] fairy trader D**
We don't lie.
**[08:51] Anne**
Um, I came to buy a warrior fairy, but...
**[08:55] Anne**
Don't you have anyone besides him?
**[08:57] fairy trader D**
Warrior fairies are difficult to handle.
**[09:00] fairy trader D**
This one is the only one I have for sale.
You could try somewhere else.
**[09:04] Challe**
Hey, Scarecrow.
**[09:07] Anne**
By "scarecrow," do you mean me?
**[09:09] Challe**
Is there anyone here but you?
**[09:11] Challe**
Stop dithering.
**[09:13] Challe**
Buy me.
**[09:14] Anne**
B-Buy... Are you giving me an order?
**[09:18] fairy trader D**
Marvelous!
**[09:19] fairy trader D**
This is the first time I've heard him
tell someone to buy him.
**[09:23] fairy trader D**
Could it be that you fell in love
with the young miss at first sight?
**[09:26] Anne**
What?
**[09:27] Challe**
Don't assume that I am like you.
**[09:29] fairy trader D**
What?
**[09:30] Challe**
I said not to assume that
I am like you, you filthy human.
**[09:37] Anne**
Don't!
**[09:43] Anne**
Wait! What are you doing? Stop!
**[09:46] Anne**
Please. Please!
**[09:46] fairy trader D**
One hundred cress!
**[09:48] Anne**
What?
**[10:01] Anne**
I believe this should satisfy you.
**[10:03] fairy trader D**
A gold coin?
**[10:04] fairy trader D**
That's quite a show of commitment
from you, young miss.
**[10:06] fairy trader D**
But you've made a good purchase here.
**[10:08] fairy trader D**
Here. His wing.
Go on and verify the goods yourself.
**[10:24] Anne**
This is...
**[10:29] Challe**
My heart.
**[10:34] fairy trader D**
Now, be very careful, understand?
**[10:36] fairy trader D**
Warrior fairies are savage.
**[10:39] fairy trader D**
Let down your guard, and he'll immediately
steal that leather pouch...
**[10:41] fairy trader D**
and come to kill you.
**[10:44] Challe**
That isn't all.
**[10:45] Challe**
I'll come to kill you, too. Just wait.
**[10:48] Anne**
Hey!
**[10:49] fairy trader D**
I look forward to it.
**[10:51] Anne**
Excuse me! I wish you'd stop speaking
as though it's certain that I'll be killed!
**[10:55] Anne**
Come on. We're going!
**[11:00] fairy trader D**
Say, young miss! Are you really going to
be able to make him serve you?
**[11:05] Challe**
Of course she can. Right, Scarecrow?
**[11:08] Anne**
It's Anne! Anne Halford!
**[11:10] Anne**
The next time you call me that,
I'll hit you, understand?
**[11:16] Anne**
I'm headed to Lewiston from here.
**[11:19] Anne**
I'd like for you to protect me
on my way there.
**[11:22] Anne**
In other words, provide escort.
May I ask that of you?
**[11:25] Challe**
A simple task. I'll even throw in
a kiss as a special service.
**[11:29] Anne**
I do not require
any such high-handed service!
**[11:32] Anne**
Least of all my precious...
**[11:34] Challe**
You haven't had your first kiss yet, either?
You're such a child.
**[11:37] Anne**
Well, pardon me for being a child!
And anyway, you...
**[11:42] Anne**
What is your name?
**[11:45] Challe**
Why do you want to know?
**[11:46] Anne**
Well, I don't know
what I should call you, do I?
**[11:50] Challe**
Tom or Sam. Call me by
whatever human name you like.
**[11:54] Anne**
Then I'll call you Crow.
**[11:56] Challe**
In retaliation for calling you Scarecrow?
**[11:58] Anne**
That's right, Mister Crow.
**[12:03] Challe**
Challe fenn Challe.
**[12:06] Anne**
Challe fenn Challe. That's a beautiful name.
**[12:09] Anne**
Which part is your first name
and which is your surname?
**[12:11] Challe**
The entirety is my name.
**[12:13] Challe**
We do not differentiate between
first and last names like humans do.
**[12:15] Anne**
Really? But Challe fenn Challe
is too long, so...
**[12:19] Anne**
I'll call you Challe. Is that all right?
**[12:22] Challe**
I believe I told you to call me
whatever you like.
**[12:24] Challe**
You are my master.
**[12:28] Anne**
Yes, I am.
**[12:31] Anne; internal**
* Wings are the source*
* of a fairy's life force.*
**[12:34] Anne; internal**
* Even if their wings are*
* ripped off, they can survive.*
**[12:36] Anne; internal**
* But if their wings are damaged,*
* they weaken and die.*
**[12:39] Anne; internal**
* Having learned that, humans rip off*
* a single wing to force fairies to obey them.*
**[12:44] Anne; internal**
*That is how fairies ended up serving humans.*
**[12:47] Anne**
I bought you because I wanted you
to serve as my guard, Challe.
**[12:51] Anne**
But I promise you this...
**[12:52] Anne**
once we arrive in Lewiston,
I will return your wing to you.
**[12:56] Challe**
You're saying you will set me free?
**[12:58] Anne**
That's right.
**[12:59] Challe**
You'll allow a fairy which you bought
with a gold coin to escape?
**[13:02] Challe**
Could such a naïve human exist?
**[13:04] Anne**
Naïve?
**[13:06] Anne**
I simply believe that humans
and fairies can be friends, that's all.
**[13:11] Anne**
The truth is, I don't want to
compel anyone to serve me.
**[13:13] Anne**
And, of course, I don't want to
sell you to another human.
**[13:16] Anne**
That's why I'll return your wing to you.
**[13:18] Anne**
And while you're accompanying me
on my travels like this,
**[13:22] Anne**
I'd like to treat you
as a friend, if that's possible.
**[13:25] Challe**
Friends?
**[13:27] Challe**
We could never become friends.
**[13:31] Anne**
My mama and me, it's our ideal...
**[13:33] Anne**
for humans and fairies
to treat each other as equals.
**[13:36] Anne**
But if no one ever
actually puts it into practice,
**[13:38] Anne**
then that ideal will never become reality.
**[13:41] Anne**
That's why I will do it.
**[13:43] Challe**
So both mother and daughter
have the brains of scarecrows?
**[13:47] Anne**
Please don't insult my mother!
**[13:55] Anne**
If you hate me so much,
why did you tell me to buy you?
**[13:59] Anne**
I would never want to be made
to serve someone I hated!
**[14:04] Challe**
Humans are all the same.
**[14:06] Challe**
In which case, being made to serve
a fool makes things easier for me.
**[14:11] Challe**
Amongst those I have seen in the last few
years, you seemed the greatest fool by far.
**[15:11] Anne**
The Bloody Highway.
**[15:13] Anne**
It's approximately 1,200 karon long.
**[15:15] Anne**
Between here and Lewiston,
there isn't a single village or town.
**[15:19] Challe**
There are merely fortshelters,
a sort of convenient stronghold.
**[15:22] Challe**
You'll also find wild animals
that attack indiscriminately...
**[15:24] Challe**
And bandits, of course.
**[15:26] Anne**
You know this road?
**[15:28] Challe**
How many years do you think
I have been forced to serve humans?
**[15:31] Challe**
And the reason you bought me was to
help you make it through this road, wasn't it?
**[15:35] Anne**
I'm depending on you, Mister Warrior Fairy.
**[15:38] Challe**
You should pray as hard as you can...
**[15:41] Challe**
that we reach the first fortshelter safely.
**[15:48] Anne**
Here, it's for you.
**[15:54] Anne**
I know.
**[15:56] Anne**
Our luck just happened to be good today.
**[15:59] Anne**
But this journey is a long one.
If the worst happens, I'll be counting on you.
**[16:13] Anne; internal**
*He is vexing, but...*
**[16:15] Anne**
fairy wings are beautiful, aren't they?
**[16:19] Anne**
May I touch it?
**[16:23] Challe**
Don't touch me!
**[16:24] Challe**
Everything other than what
you hold in your hands is mine.
**[16:27] Anne**
I'm sorry.
**[16:29] Anne**
That was thoughtless of me.
**[16:32] Anne; internal**
*Why did I do that?*
**[16:34] Anne; internal**
*I thought I understood, but...*
**[16:46] Anne**
Mama!
**[16:47] Emma**
Anne! Awake already?
**[16:54] Emma**
Oh my. What's wrong?
**[16:56] Emma**
Are you hurt somewhere?
**[16:57] Anne**
It's not that. I had a horrible dream.
**[17:00] Anne**
Mama, you had died. It was a horrible dream.
**[17:04] Emma**
You silly.
**[17:07] Emma**
Find your life's path and walk it resolutely.
**[17:12] Anne**
Mama?
**[17:13] Emma**
I know you can do it.
**[17:15] Emma**
You're such a good girl, Anne. Don't cry.
**[17:18] Anne**
Wait... Wait, Mama!
**[17:20] Anne**
Please, Mama! Don't go!
**[17:29] Anne**
Wh-What...
**[17:32] Anne**
What, what, what, what, what?
**[17:34] Anne**
What do you want?
Just now, your hand was on my neck.
**[17:37] Anne**
Challe, your wing. You couldn't have been...
**[17:40] Challe**
I almost had it.
**[17:41] Anne**
You're heartless!
**[17:43] Anne**
I told you didn't I?
I want to be your friend!
**[17:47] Anne**
And in spite of that, you...
**[17:50] Challe**
Friends?
**[17:52] Challe**
When you hold my life in your hands?
**[17:55] Challe**
I have been bought by you,
forced to serve you.
**[17:59] Challe**
We can never be friends.
**[18:02] Anne**
I am a fool, aren't I?
**[18:07] Anne**
You're right. I've been naïve.
**[18:10] Anne**
Even though I'd made up my mind
to have you serve me,
**[18:12] Anne**
I've kept saying selfish things
about wanting to be friends.
**[18:16] Anne**
I won't *ever* let down my guard again!
**[18:23] Challe**
A bagworm moth this time, then, is it?
**[18:24] Anne**
Scarecrow suits me just fine!
**[18:26] Anne**
And I'll say this as well.
**[18:27] Anne**
Despite everything, I will keep my promise.
**[18:29] Anne**
When we reach Lewiston,
I'll return your wing.
**[18:31] Anne**
Once I do, I'll ask you again
whether or not we can be friends!
**[18:34] Anne**
Until then, I am your master!
**[18:39] Challe; internal**
*I bungled that.*
**[18:41] Challe; internal**
*But there is no need to be impatient.*
**[18:43] Challe; internal**
* I've spent nearly 70 years*
* being forced to serve humans.*
**[18:46] Challe; internal**
* My freedom may have been put off*
* for a day, but three days from now...*
**[18:52] Challe; internal**
*There it is again.*
**[18:55] Challe; internal**
*Why does that scent come from this girl?*
**[18:58] Challe; internal**
*The sweet scent of silver sugar...*
**[19:03] Challe; internal**
*Liz...*
**[19:07] Anne**
We must reach the next
fortshelter within the day.
**[19:10] Anne**
We've traveled 200 karon
since starting out on the highway.
**[19:13] Anne**
That's still only a sixth of the distance.
**[19:17] Challe**
Stop.
**[19:18] Anne**
What?
**[19:25] Anne**
Bandits?
**[19:27] bandits**
Let's go!
**[19:29] Anne**
Oh no! They're coming this way!
**[19:31] Anne**
That's right!
Challe, you're a warrior fairy, aren't you?
**[19:33] Anne**
Chase the bandits away!
**[19:35] Challe**
That's too much work.
**[19:36] Anne**
Too much work? Honestly!
I'm your master! Your master!
**[19:39] Anne**
At this rate, we'll be killed! Please!
**[19:43] Anne**
What? You're too close!
**[19:44] Challe**
If you're my master, then you shouldn't plead.
You should order me, shouldn't you?
**[19:48] Anne**
You're too close! Please, move away!
Just go, won't you?
**[19:51] Challe**
Your face is red.
**[19:52] Anne**
J-J-Just go, won't you?
Please, I'm begging you!
**[19:54] Challe**
I told you to give me an order.
**[19:56] Anne**
An order? But look, they're coming!
**[19:58] Challe**
"Go, now." "I'll tear up your wing."
If you said those things, I'd go immediately.
**[20:02] Anne**
What are you talking about? Just, please!
**[20:07] Challe**
Order me.
**[20:08] Anne**
I said go! If you don't go, I'll punch you!
**[20:12] Challe**
I suppose that will do. I'll go.
**[20:14] Challe**
At your command, Mistress Scarecrow.
**[20:22] Anne**
Challe!
**[20:36] bandit leader**
I-It's a warrior fairy! Turn back!
