[00:04] Elliott
    We're here!
[00:05] Elliott
    Starting today and for the next
    two months, this is where we'll work!
[00:09] Anne
    Um, Mister Collins...
[00:11] Anne
    is this place really where
    the kingdom's religion...
[00:13] Elliott
    They've provided it to us at no cost.
[00:16] Elliott
    They said that Lewiston isn't far from here,
[00:17] Elliott
    and we'll be able to secure
    as much space as we need to work.
[00:22] Elliott
    What's wrong, Anne? You don't look happy.
[00:24] Elliott
    It's a charming castle, isn't it?
[00:27] Anne
    Calling it charming sounds nice,
    but this seems more like...
[00:43] Challe
    ...a haunted castle.
[00:45] Anne
    Challe! Please don't say such strange things!
[00:48] Glen
    I see. So, it's Holly Leaf Castle, is it?
[00:51] Glen
    It's no wonder the kingdom's religion
    didn't tell us its name.
[00:55] Anne
    Holly Leaf Castle? Mister
    Glen, do you know it?
[00:59] Glen
    How can I put this?
    It's well known to those who know.
[01:04] Glen
    Fifteen years ago,
    the royal family of Millsland...
[01:07] Glen
    faced an insurrection started by
    a branch family, House Chamber.
[01:11] Glen
    It's commonly referred to
    as the Chambers Rebellion.
[01:14] Glen
    The battle ended in House
    Millsland's victory,
[01:17] Glen
    and House Chamber and their
    followers were all slain.
[01:21] Glen
    This castle was associated
    with House Chamber.
[01:25] Anne
    Th-They were all slain?
[01:27] Anne
    Does that have something to do with why
    the kingdom's religion didn't tell us the name?
[01:32] Mithril
    Ghosts must appear here!
[01:35] Nadir
    I don't hate that sort of thing, you know?
[01:39] Anne
    Honestly! The both of you!
[01:40] Glen
    I've heard a lot of things,
    but they're just rumors.
[01:44] Glen
    Whatever the case, this was done
    for the sake of the Holy Beginnings Festival.
[01:48] Glen
    Let us give thanks for the kindness
    of the kingdom's religion.
[01:51] King
    Rumors, huh?
[01:53] Valentine
    It feels unlucky somehow, doesn't it?
[01:57] Anne; internal
    I'm the Head of Artisans!
    What good does it do for me to be scared?
[02:01] Anne; internal
    Now that we've been chosen in the selection,
[02:03] Anne; internal
    we must be sure to create what we promised.
[02:06] Anne; internal
    Impressive sugar confections
    worthy of the Holy Beginnings Festival!
[03:53] King
    We're gonna be sleeping in a place like this?
[03:56] King
    It seems pretty filthy in here.
[03:58] Valentine
    The Holy Beginnings Festival is meant to
    invite good fortune for the new year.
[04:03] Valentine
    With things in this state, the kingdom's
    good fortune is more likely to run away.
[04:07] Elliott
    All right! All right!
[04:09] Elliott
    No complaining!
[04:11] Elliott
    Now, we've got all our things here!
[04:14] Anne; internal
    H-He's right. I can't be
    scared. I can't be scared!
[04:20] Challe
    This is likely the work of House Millsland.
[04:23] Anne
    Challe.
[04:24] Challe
    It isn't just the faces.
[04:26] Challe
    Look at the swords and decorations too.
[04:28] Challe
    One part in particular has been cut away.
[04:31] Challe
    What was depicted there was likely
    the crest of House Chamber.
[04:35] Anne
    So, the crest was on all of those?
[04:38] Challe
    To House Millsland, the crest of House Chamber,
    who caused the rebellion, would be taboo.
[04:44] Challe
    They must have wanted to
    eradicate every trace of it.
[04:48] King
    That being that, Elliott,
    what's happened to Bridget?
[04:52] Elliott
    She said she'd come later.
[04:54] Elliott
    I gave her money and told her
    to hire a carriage.
[04:57] Elliott
    I'm sure she'll be fine.
[04:59] Nadir
    He's so cold. He's her fiancé, isn't he?
[05:03] Orland
    It doesn't matter
    what's happened to Bridget, does it?
[05:06] Orland
    Move your hands instead of your mouths.
[05:23] Anne
    Th-There couldn't possibly be ghosts here.
[05:25] Anne
    Now, time to clean! Time to clean!
[05:30] Herbert
    Young Miss Silver Sugar Master.
[05:37] Anne
    I-I'm just imagining things.
    Just imagining things.
[05:40] Herbert
    I'm glad you're here.
[05:51] Challe
    What's wrong?
[05:52] Anne
    I-It's here! A gh-gh-gh-gh-gh...
[05:54] Challe
    Calm down. There are no ghosts.
[05:57] Anne
    B-B-But someone whispered,
    "I'm glad you're here," in my ear!
[06:00] Challe
    You're just hearing things, you fool.
[06:02] Anne
    It's true! I've been cursed!
    I've been cursed by House Chamber!
[06:06] Anne
    Wh-What do I do? What do I do?!
[06:09] Challe
    Shall I kiss you?
[06:11] Anne
    What? What did you just say?
[06:13] Challe
    Have you come to your senses?
[06:16] Anne
    I-I'm sorry. I was being silly.
[06:19] Elliott
    Hey, Anne!
[06:20] Elliott
    Do you have a minute?
[06:22] Anne
    I-I'm going to go. Bye, then.
[06:35] Challe
    A ghost that leaves footprints?
[06:38] Elliott
    We're just about done bringing everything in!
[06:40] Elliott
    Could you come and look
    at the layout of our workspace?
[06:42] Anne
    All right!
[06:49] Anne
    Just this one painting isn't dirty.
[06:53] Anne
    Let's leave things here for today.
[06:56] Anne
    Get some rest and we'll start work tomorrow.
[07:02] Mithril
    What? You want me to sleep here?
[07:04] Anne
    I just feel apprehensive somehow.
[07:06] Anne
    I'm sorry to ask when we've all
    been allowed our own rooms,
[07:09] Anne
    but can I ask this of you?
    Please, Mithril Lid Pod?
[07:12] Mithril
    Well, I don't really mind, but...
[07:16] Anne
    But?
[07:16] Mithril
    I think you should ask Challe fenn Challe
    to do this sort of thing for you. Yes.
[07:22] Anne
    What?
[07:23] Anne
    No, I just... It's too embarrassing.
[07:26] Mithril
    You're such an idiot, Anne!
[07:28] Mithril
    Keep saying things like that and
    your love will never come to fruition!
[07:32] Mithril
    I've told you before, haven't I? Sometimes
    love is born from the situation you're in.
[07:36] Mithril
    All right! I'll go ask him right now!
[07:39] Anne
    W-Wait! Stop, Mithril Lid Pod!
[07:43] Mithril
    Let go, Anne! Are you trying to interfere
    with my repaying your favor?
[07:46] Anne
    No! That won't repay my favor at all!
[07:48] Mithril
    Yes, it will repay the favor!
[07:49] Challe
    What is all this noise about?
[07:52] Mithril
    Challe fenn Challe! Perfect timing!
[07:54] Mithril
    Anne wants you to slee—
[07:57] Anne
    Sorry, Challe. Did we wake you?
[07:59] Anne
    It's nothing.
[08:01] Challe
    Have you two seen something?
[08:03] Anne
    What? By "something" you mean...
[08:05] Challe
    A violet-colored something.
[08:08] Anne
    A violet-colored...
[08:10] Anne
    Wait, Challe! What do you mean?
[08:11] Mithril
    So, there really are ghosts here!
[08:14] Challe
    It's true that there is something here.
[08:16] Challe
    Be careful.
[08:18] Anne
    Wait, Challe!
[08:21] Anne
    He said all those scary things
    and left. How could he?
[08:25] Mithril
    I told you, didn't I?
[08:27] Mithril
    If you'd just been honest and asked him to
    sleep here with you, right now, you'd be—
[08:30] Anne
    This and that are completely
    different matters!
[08:33] Anne
    Please, Mithril Lid Pod. Won't you
    stay here like this and sleep with me?
[08:38] Mithril
    S-Sure, I don't mind.
[08:49] Elliott
    Daana, how does Mister Glen seem?
[08:51] Daana
    No changes. And he ate all of his breakfast.
[08:57] Anne
    Morning, everyone.
[09:03] Elliott
    What's wrong? Anne, Orland,
    are you both short on sleep?
[09:07] Orland
    There's something wrong
    with the lock to my room.
[09:10] Orland
    No matter how many times I locked it,
    the door would be open before I knew it.
[09:13] King
    My room's the same way.
[09:16] Nadir
    Mine, too!
[09:17] Valentine
    And mine as well.
[09:18] Anne
    I heard doors opening and closing all
    through the night, so I couldn't sleep at all.
[09:24] Mithril
    Hey, guys?
[09:27] Mithril
    Have any of you seen
    a violet-colored something?
[09:32] King
    Violet-colored?
[09:33] Valentine
    I-Is there something here?
[09:36] Mithril
    There is a ghost here. It's been confirmed.
[09:39] Mithril
    But not to worry! The magnificent
    Mithril Lid Pod will get rid of—
[09:44] Challe
    Don't alter my report without asking.
[09:46] Challe
    I never said it was a ghost.
[09:48] Elliott
    Well... I guess we'll leave
    it to you and Challe.
[09:52] Mithril
    You aren't the one getting rid of it, Challe.
    It will be the magnificent me!
[09:55] Mithril
    The magnificent Mithril Lid Pod!
[09:57] Elliott
    And we'll talk about work.
[10:00] Elliott
    Now then, Head of Artisans,
    how shall we proceed with the work today?
[10:06] Anne
    When it comes to the Holy
    Beginnings Festival,
[10:08] Anne
    we'll need much larger sugar confections
    than we made for the selection.
[10:13] Anne
    In order to decorate the whole church,
    the size and number of the crystals...
[10:17] Anne
    We'll need a tremendous number of them.
[10:20] Anne
    Orland and King will be
    in charge of kneading.
[10:23] Anne
    King will also handle the coloring.
[10:26] Anne
    The remaining three, myself included,
[10:28] Anne
    will create the snow crystals
    and handle construction.
[10:31] Anne
    Now, as to the schedule...
[10:35] Hugh
    Well, well. Isn't this
    an impressive workspace?
[10:39] Hugh
    The kingdom's religion sure does lend out
    some interesting places.
[10:42] Anne
    Hugh?!
[10:44] Hugh
    Hey there!
[10:45] Hugh
    Long time no see, novice silver sugar master.
[10:49] Elliott
    An... inspection?
[10:52] Hugh
    It's a commission from
    the kingdom's religion.
[10:55] Hugh
    Every year, the workshop
    chosen in the selection
[10:57] Hugh
    is inspected by the Silver Sugar Viscount.
[11:00] Hugh
    It's to ascertain the progress of the pieces
    and how good or poor the workmanship is.
[11:05] Hugh
    Additionally, and this is also
    a measure taken every year,
[11:09] Hugh
    the kingdom's religion requests reserve sugar
    confections from the Mercury Workshop.
[11:14] Hugh
    Should anything happen
    with the Paige Workshop,
[11:16] Hugh
    the pieces from the Mercury Workshop will be
    displayed for the Holy Beginnings Festival.
[11:20] Hugh
    And, naturally, there will be
    no 10,000 cress compensation.
[11:24] Anne
    What?
[11:25] Anne
    Did you know about this, Mister Collins?
[11:27] Elliott
    The Paige school hasn't participated
    in the selection until now.
[11:31] Hugh
    To summarize...
[11:33] Hugh
    as long as you do what you need to do,
    there's no need to worry.
[11:38] Hugh
    I heard all about it, Anne!
[11:40] Hugh
    You pulled all these strong
    personalities together,
[11:42] Hugh
    won your way through the selection,
[11:44] Hugh
    and got Challe back, right?
[11:46] Hugh
    And you, Elliott.
[11:49] Hugh
    You were able to see Anne's abilities
    and scouted her for the Paige Workshop.
[11:54] Hugh
    That discerning eye and those disagreeable
    methods... How very like you they are.
[11:58] Elliott
    Your lavish praise humbles me most painfully.
[12:00] Hugh
    I have high hopes for you.
[12:02] Hugh
    Well then. I'll go pay my respects
    to the master of the school
[12:05] Hugh
    and that will be all for today.
[12:07] Hugh
    Where is Glen?
[12:08] Elliott
    I'll show you the way.
[12:10] Hugh
    Oh, yes. I forgot to mention this.
[12:12] Hugh
    My inspections are always a surprise.
[12:14] Hugh
    It should go without saying
    that you won't get any warning.
[12:17] Hugh
    Don't relax just because I'm not around.
[12:23] Elliott
    Well, then! Shall we get started?
[12:25] everyone but Anne
    Yeah!
[12:25] Anne
    Yes!
[12:37] Elliott
    How wonderful. It's silver sugar.
[12:43] Orland
    Are you going to be helping
    with the work too?
[12:46] Elliott
    Why does your expression say
     that you hate the idea?
[12:48] Elliott
    A huge amount of work has to be
    completed in a short period of time.
[12:52] Elliott
    If I help out, it would make
    things easier, wouldn't it?
[12:54] Orland
    It would be more hindrance than help.
[12:57] King
    Things are gonna get loud again.
[12:58] Nadir
    Don't talk too much
    while I'm working, all right?
[13:02] Elliott
    Yes, yes.
[13:11] Anne; internal
    He's amazing.
[13:12] Anne; internal
    He really is a silver sugar master.
[13:46] Anne; internal
    What's going on? A fairy?
[13:50] Anne; internal
    How beautiful.
[13:56] Anne
    Miss Bridget?
[13:58] Bridget
    I was told to come, so I came.
[14:01] Bridget
    Elliott, this will do, won't it?
[14:04] Bridget
    Allow me to introduce you.
    He is a companion fairy.
[14:08] Bridget
    I bought him.
[14:10] Gladus
    How do you do? I am called Gladus.
    It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
[14:14] Elliott
    Bridget, why did you get another fairy?
[14:18] Elliott
    Especially after everything
    that happened with Challe?
[14:20] Bridget
    Father took Challe's wing from me
    because I restrained him too tightly.
[14:25] Bridget
    Which is why I won't do
    anything of the sort this time.
[14:29] Bridget
    I've allowed Gladus his freedom.
[14:32] Bridget
    You should have no complaints with that.
[14:34] Elliott
    Are you doing this to spite Mister Glen?
[14:38] Bridget
    I am simply doing what I want to do!
[14:42] Bridget
    You're always so indifferent to me.
[14:43] Bridget
    Don't tell me what to do
    only in times like this!
[14:46] Anne
    Um, Miss Bridget...
[14:48] Bridget
    Don't you criticize me, as well!
[14:50] Gladus
    Bridget, is there some issue
    with my being here?
[14:55] Bridget
    There is no issue here.
[14:57] Bridget
    I will tell father about
    Gladus myself. Where is he?
[15:06] Elliott
    If you tell him something like this without
    warning, Mister Glen's heart will give out.
[15:11] Elliott
    I'll go with you.
[15:13] Elliott
    This way.
[15:21] Mithril
    He's a precious stone
    just like you are, right,
[15:24] Mithril
    Challe fenn Challe?
[15:26] Gladus
    Challe fenn Challe?
[15:28] Gladus
    It can't be...
[15:30] Challe
    Do you have some business with me?
[15:32] Gladus
    No. It's nothing.
[15:37] Anne
    Do you know him?
[15:38] Challe
    I've never met him before.
[15:39] Mithril
    I'm sure that guy was born
    from a precious stone,
[15:43] Mithril
    but I can't really tell what kind.
[15:45] Mithril
    I'm usually really good at guessing
    the type of objects our kind come from.
[15:49] Challe
    It's probably opal.
[15:51] Challe
    It possesses many colors depending on
    the refraction of the light.
[15:54] Challe
    Ambiguity is its defining trait.
[15:56] Anne
    Ambiguity...
[15:58] Orland
    How long do you plan to
    dawdle here, Head of Artisans?
[16:01] Anne
    Orland!
[16:03] Anne
    I'm so sorry!
[16:07] Orland
    With this, Elliott won't
    be useful for a while.
[16:10] Orland
    While he's mediating the fight between
    parent and child, it's no time to be working.
[16:13] Anne
    You saw?
[16:16] Orland
    In any case, we can't
    allow this to slow us down.
[16:20] Anne
    You're right. Today, let's work
    as hard as we can until nightfall.
[16:32] Anne
    Th-There it is! It's a ghost!
[16:43] Anne
    Miss Bridget?
[16:47] Glen
    How long will you remain a child?
[16:50] (Flashback) Glen
    That fairy! You bought him just to attract
    attention from others, didn't you?
[16:54] (Flashback) Glen
    Go and return him to the
    fairy trader at once!
[16:58] Bridget
    He might be right.
[17:01] Bridget
    I think, probably...
[17:04] Bridget
    it doesn't even matter to me who it is.
[17:07] Anne
    Miss Bridget?
[17:09] Anne
    Um, what are you doing?
[17:12] Bridget
    Looking at the moon.
    Is there something wrong with that?
[17:15] Anne
    No, that isn't what I meant. I just...
[17:19] Bridget
    What is that?
[17:21] Anne
    I just thought that dressed like that,
    you'll catch a cold.
[17:23] Bridget
    I don't need this. I am not cold.
[17:26] Anne
    Good night!
[17:27] Bridget
    Wait!
[17:31] Bridget
    I said I don't need it.
[17:38] Orland
    Are you meddling in Bridget's affairs again?
[17:43] Anne
    I suppose you could call it meddling.
[17:44] Orland
    You're a strange one. It isn't something
    you need to bother yourself with.
[17:48] Anne
    What about you, Orland? Does it bother you?
[17:51] Orland
    There's no need for me to be bothered.
[17:54] Anne
    That's not what I mean.
[17:55] Anne
    If Bridget looks cold,
    does it bother you, or does it not?
[18:00] Anne
    When Bridget came here with a fairy she bought,
    did you wonder why she felt she had to?
[18:04] Anne
    Did it bother you, or did it not?
[18:06] Orland
    Right now, the sugar confections for
    the Holy Beginnings Festival are the priority.
[18:10] Orland
    I don't want to think about anything else.
[18:13] Orland
    You should stop thinking about other
    things, too, and just do your work.
[18:31] Gladus
    Challe fenn Challe, wasn't it?
[18:34] Challe
    You.
[18:36] Gladus
    Who did you think it was?
[18:37] Chelle
    There is something of an unknown
    nature wandering this castle.
[18:42] Gladus
    And you're saying
    I'm of an unknown nature, too?
[18:49] Gladus
    I've looked around the inside of the castle,
    but this tower certainly is nice.
[18:54] Gladus
    It feels good.
[18:57] Gladus
    You weren't given a human name?
[19:01] Gladus
    That's unusual.
[19:03] Gladus
    Who is your master?
[19:04] Challe
    No one controls me.
[19:07] Challe
    I hold my wing in my own hands.
[19:10] Gladus
    And yet you keep company with humans?
[19:13] Gladus
    Why would you—
[19:15] Challe
    Enough about me.
[19:16] Challe
    You seem to have some
    unusual circumstances yourself.
[19:21] Challe
    You are a precious stone.
[19:22] Challe
    You should have the ability
    to create sharp objects.
[19:25] Challe
    You have the strength to fight, so why
    were you purchased as a companion fairy?
[19:31] Gladus
    Unfortunately, I am unable to fight.
[19:35] Gladus
    Would you like to see?
[19:38] Gladus
    You see? This is all I can do.
[19:40] Gladus
    I can't fight with this, can I?
[19:44] Gladus
    You are straightforward and severe,
    with your gaze too tightly focused.
[19:48] Gladus
    And when you have
    such beautiful dark eyes, too.
[19:52] Gladus
    As fellow fairies, I had hoped to get along,
[19:56] Gladus
    but it seems you're opposed to that.
[19:58] Challe
    As for fairies, there's Mithril Lid Pod,
[20:01] Challe
    and Daana and Hal, too.
[20:02] Challe
    If you want a friend, go ask them.
[20:06] Gladus
    They're a little different.
[20:08] Gladus
    Even leaving aside the fact
    that we're precious stones,
[20:11] Gladus
    they aren't as similar to me as you are.
[20:13] Challe
    In my opinion,
[20:15] Challe
    I don't think I am similar to you at all.
[20:18] Gladus
    You don't know, that's all.
[20:21] Challe
    What is it that I don't know?
[20:23] Gladus
    Do you want me to tell you?
[20:25] Gladus
    What shall I do? Let's see.
[20:29] Gladus
    But... I think not yet.
[20:35] Gladus
    If you were to set aside your wariness
    and open your heart to me, then...
[20:40] Gladus
    But it seems that this is not that moment.
[20:42] Gladus
    You are vigilant.
[20:44] Gladus
    That is a good thing, Challe fenn Challe.
[20:47] Gladus
    If you weren't, you wouldn't
    survive for very long.
[20:57] Challe
    Opal, was it?
