[00:00] Gladus
    You should keep your fellow
    fairies by your side,
[00:03] Gladus
    namely me, since we are both
    precious stones, and I am so close to you.
[00:07] Challe
    I don't think we're close at all.
[00:11] Gladus
    You are very wary.
[00:13] Gladus
    If you weren't,
    you wouldn't survive for very long.
[00:22] Challe
    Opal, was it?
[01:57] Mithril
    Everyone, I am glad to see you gathered here!
[02:00] Challe
    What are you trying to do?
[02:01] Challe
    What happened to helping the artisans?
[02:04] Mithril
    It is none other than those
    very artisans who are, at this moment,
[02:07] Mithril
    unable to focus on their work!
[02:09] Mithril
    Why, you ask? Because an evil ghost
    has settled in Holly Leaf Castle!
[02:16] Mithril
    And so, in order to preserve
    the peace within this castle,
[02:20] Mithril
    the magnificence that I am
     shall form a vigilante brigade!
[02:23] Mithril
    We are embarking on a ghost hunt!
[02:26] Gladus
    Intriguing.
[02:30] Gladus
    Please, by all means,
    include me in this endeavor.
[02:32] Mithril
    You go by Gladus, right?
[02:35] Gladus
    I hope you'll have me, Captain Mithril Lid Pod.
[02:38] Mithril
    Of course! I approve your participation!
[02:42] Mithril
    Where are you going, Challe fenn Challe?
[02:44] Mithril
    We're about to go on a patrol.
[02:46] Challe
    I'm going back to my room.
[02:47] Mithril
    W-W-Wait!
[02:49] Mithril
    If you leave, who's gonna fight the ghost?
[02:52] Challe
    Do your best, Captain.
[02:55] Mithril
    Ow...
[02:57] Mithril
    Come on!
[03:09] Anne
    Hup.
[03:14] Anne
    All right.
[03:16] Anne
    That's enough for today. Good work, everyone!
[03:24] Anne; internal
    That's right. Mithril won't be here tonight.
[03:27] Anne; internal
    He said he was going ghost hunting.
[03:36] Anne
    I'm so tired!
[03:42] Challe
    Beside you!
[03:44] Anne
    Challe?
[03:50] Challe
    Light the lamp!
[03:53] Anne
    Wh-What's going on?
[03:53] Noah
    Stop it! Let go of me!
[03:54] Challe
    Do it now!
[04:01] Anne
    Wh-Who is that?
[04:02] Challe
    The ghost.
[04:03] Anne
    The ghost?!
[04:04] Noah
    I'm not a ghost!
[04:11] Anne
    Oh no, Challe! The ghost...
    The ghost may have died!
[04:16] Challe
    He's lost consciousness, that's all.
[04:20] Anne
    Are you...
[04:24] Noah
    I got you!
[04:25] Noah
    Morons! Morons! That's what
    you get for letting go of me!
[04:32] Anne
    Are you all right?
[04:33] Noah
    I'm sorry, master.
[04:37] Anne
    "Master"?
[04:40] Elliott
    So, this child is the ghost's real identity?
[04:44] Mithril
    This guy's the truth behind the rumors?
[04:47] Challe
    There were footprints in the halls.
[04:49] Challe
    He's probably a fairy
    with the ability to pass through objects.
[04:52] Anne
    That's how he did those things
    to everyone's locks.
[04:55] Challe
    Since he played tricks on the artisans
    on the first floor last night,
[04:59] Challe
    I thought he'd come to the second
    floor tonight and laid in wait.
[05:03] Anne
    And it was this child who appeared.
[05:10] Anne
    Please don't be afraid! What's your name?
[05:14] Noah
    I have no name to give to a thief!
[05:17] Anne
    By "thief," do you mean me?
[05:19] Noah
    That's right! Just you watch!
    I'll defeat all of you!
[05:23] Mithril
    Hey! Calling Anne a thief is rude!
[05:26] Elliott
    We're here by permission
    from the kingdom's religion.
[05:30] Elliott
    And what about you?
    What did you sneak in here to do?
[05:33] Noah
    The kingdom's religion? Permission?
    Don't just decide things on your own!
[05:37] Noah
    The head of House Chamber,
[05:38] Noah
    Lord Stewart's younger brother,
    Lord Herbert, owns this castle!
[05:42] Anne
    Herbert?
[05:43] Noah
    And I am Lord Herbert's page, Noah!
[05:47] Noah
    My master told me himself
    to protect this castle!
[05:52] Elliott
    So, your name is Noah, then?
[05:54] Noah
    That's right!
[05:55] Mithril
    House Chamber?
[05:57] Mithril
    They got rooted out over fifteen years ago!
[06:00] Mithril
    And this Herbert person
    probably died a long time ago, too.
[06:03] Noah
    Don't say he's dead!
[06:07] Noah
    Lord Herbert will come home!
    No matter how many years it takes, he will!
[06:11] Noah
    That's why I have a duty
    to protect this castle!
[06:17] Challe
    Some time after the master of this castle left,
[06:20] Challe
    soldiers from the Millsland
    royal family came here, didn't they?
[06:23] Noah
    You're just a fairy
    being controlled by a thief!
[06:26] Noah
    Stop talking like you know everything!
[06:34] Noah
    That's...
[06:35] Challe
    We are with her because we choose to be.
[06:40] Challe
    I will ask once more.
[06:42] Challe
    Soldiers from the Millsland
    royal family came here, didn't they?
[06:47] Noah
    They did.
[06:48] Noah
    A lot of knights in filthy armor
    trooped through here.
[06:53] Noah
    They ripped down the crest of House Chamber.
    They shredded the portraits.
[06:57] Noah
    They took furniture with the crest carved
    into it and burned it all in the garden.
[07:01] Challe
    Back then,
[07:03] Challe
    how did you think the war between House
    Chamber and the Millsland royal family ended?
[07:08] Noah
    I thought that House Chamber... lost.
[07:13] Anne
    Noah.
[07:14] Elliott
    Do you understand now?
[07:16] Elliott
    After that, the Millsland
    royal family annexed this castle,
[07:19] Elliott
    then donated it to Saint Lewiston Bell Church.
[07:23] Elliott
    We are borrowing this castle from
    that church. That's how we're here.
[07:27] Elliott
    We aren't thieves.
[07:29] Noah
    Even so, this is Lord Herbert's castle.
[07:32] Noah
    Until Lord Herbert returns,
    I must protect this place.
[07:37] Mithril
    Look, he's not coming back!
[07:40] Mithril
    He's definitely, undeniably dea—
[07:41] Noah
    Don't say he's dead!
[07:44] Noah
    I can't trust anyone who keeps saying,
    "He's dead, he's dead," without any proof!
[07:49] Noah
    I was right! You're all just—
[07:54] Anne
    Noah!
[07:55] Noah
    I will make all of you...
[07:59] Challe
    You haven't eaten properly, have you?
[08:12] (Flashback) Anne
    Noah, please. Eat something.
[08:16] (Flashback) Noah
    If I want to stay here, I can't eat anything
    other than what Lord Herbert has given me.
[08:22] (Flashback) Noah
    It's an order from my master.
[08:26] Anne; internal
    "Don't eat anything
    other than what I give you"?
[08:30] Anne; internal
    Giving an order like that is just...
[08:34] Gladus
    Anne. Good morning.
[08:36] Anne
    Oh, good morning.
[08:40] Gladus
    How is the fairy you caught last night?
[08:43] Anne
    What do you mean?
[08:44] Gladus
    Not doing well, I see.
[08:51] Anne
    What are—
[08:54] Gladus
    What a lovely aroma.
[08:56] Gladus
    You smell of silver sugar.
[08:58] Anne
    I think probably all the artisans here
    have that scent.
[09:02] Gladus
    That's true.
[09:07] Gladus
    But yours... is truly sublime.
[09:13] Anne
    Um...
[09:15] Anne
    I'm going to go work now!
[09:21] Gladus
    She certainly is adorable.
[09:23] Gladus
    She smells lovely.
[09:25] Gladus
    Don't you think, Challe?
[09:27] Challe
    That scarecrow? Adorable?
[09:30] Challe
    You have unusual tastes.
[09:32] Gladus
    You don't think she's adorable?
[09:36] Challe
    Not particularly.
[09:38] Gladus
    Really? You're here for her sake, aren't you?
[09:43] Gladus
    Don't you stay with her because
[09:45] Gladus
    she's so adorable and dear
    that you just can't leave her?
[09:48] Challe
    What a naïve way of thinking.
[09:50] Gladus
    You really don't expose
    your true thoughts, do you?
[09:53] Gladus
    You and I are the same type.
[09:56] Gladus
    Should I assume that you
    and I think the same way?
[10:00] Challe
    I have no interest in the way you think.
[10:03] Gladus
    Whether you take an interest or not,
[10:06] Gladus
    the fact is that you and I are very close.
[10:09] Gladus
    We are meant to be together.
[10:11] Challe
    Is that some kind of joke?
    I'm not in the mood to hear it.
[10:15] Gladus
    A darkened chapel.
[10:19] Gladus
    A chapel with a hole dug through
    one wall and an altar at the very back.
[10:25] Gladus
    There were ornaments decorating the entrance,
[10:28] Gladus
    but all that's left on the ceiling and walls
[10:30] Gladus
    are the scars, evidence of excavation.
[10:33] Challe
    How do you know about that?
[10:35] Gladus
    It really is just as I thought.
[10:38] Gladus
    If you showed me just
    a little of your true feelings,
[10:41] Gladus
    I wouldn't mind telling you everything.
[10:45] Challe; internal
    How does he know of that place?
[10:51] Challe; internal
    Who is he?
[10:53] Glen
    Noah, was it? The fact that
    he won't eat is worrying.
[10:57] Anne
    Yes.
[10:59] Anne
    He says that to stay here,
[11:00] Anne
    he can't eat anything that
    wasn't given to him by his master.
[11:04] Anne
    He should just ignore that order and run away.
[11:08] Glen
    His master must have left the castle
    still carrying his wing.
[11:13] Glen
    The poor thing.
[11:14] Glen
    It's no wonder that he keeps waiting
    for a master who will never return.
[11:18] Anne
    That's why he's stayed in this castle?
[11:21] Glen
    Fairies like sugar confections.
    He might eat one of those.
[11:26] Anne
    That's true. You're right!
[11:37] Anne
    I wonder if Noah is still awake.
[11:45] Anne
    Noah?
[11:47] Noah
    Oh, it's just the thief.
[11:49] Anne
    What are you...
[11:51] Anne; internal
    Is this Lord Herbert?
[11:54] Anne; internal
    I see.
[11:55] Anne; internal
    The reason this one painting isn't dirty
    is that all this time, Noah has been...
[12:01] Anne
    Noah?
[12:02] Anne
    Did Lord Herbert
    take your wing with him when he left?
[12:06] Noah
    Lord Herbert isn't a horrible person!
[12:08] Noah
    He gave me my wing back!
[12:11] Anne
    What? He gave it back?
[12:13] Noah
    That's right.
[12:14] Anne
    Then why have you stayed here
    for fifteen years?
[12:17] Anne
    If you have your wing,
    you could leave the castle.
[12:19] Noah
    Why? How many times have I told you?
[12:22] Noah
    It's because I'm Lord Herbert's page.
[12:24] Noah
    I will protect the castle and await his return.
[12:27] Anne
    Were you really ordered to do that?
[12:30] Anne
    Did he say, "Protect this castle. Don't leave.
    Don't eat anything I haven't given you"?
[12:34] Noah
    That's...
[12:36] Noah
    Lord Herbert told me.
[12:38] Noah
    He said he wouldn't take me to the battlefield,
[12:41] Noah
    and to please take good care of the castle.
[12:43] Noah
    He said that was my role.
[12:46] Noah
    But Lord Herbert said to leave the castle
[12:49] Noah
    once I'd eaten the sugar
    confections he'd left me.
[12:52] Noah
    He said that if I ate anything else,
    I wasn't allowed to stay here anymore.
[12:57] Anne
    But that means...
[12:59] Anne; internal
    This person...
[13:01] Anne; internal
    wanted Noah to run away, didn't he?
[13:04] Anne
    Say, Noah. Did you eat the sugar confections?
[13:07] Noah
    I didn't eat all of them!
[13:08] Noah
    I left one piece.
[13:10] Noah
    So, I shouldn't have to leave the castle yet!
[13:12] Noah
    I'm going to wait here.
[13:15] Anne
    Noah.
[13:20] Noah
    That's...
[13:21] Anne
    It's one of the snow crystals
    we're making together.
[13:24] Anne
    I asked them to let me have one.
[13:26] Anne
    I wanted you to eat it, Noah.
[13:29] Anne
    And I'm sure Lord Herbert
    would be happy if you were healthy
[13:32] Anne
    while you waited for him. So...
[13:35] Noah
    I can't.
[13:36] Noah
    If I disobey his order,
    I have to leave the castle.
[13:40] Noah
    I'm Lord Herbert's page, that's why...
[13:43] Noah
    that's why I can't eat that.
[13:44] Anne
    Noah.
[13:48] Challe; internal
    How?
[13:50] Challe; internal
    How does he know about a place
    that only Liz and I know?
[13:58] Challe; internal
    It can't be...
[14:04] Challe
    What are you doing?
[14:05] Anne
    Challe.
[14:12] Anne
    Thank you, Challe.
[14:14] Anne
    Noah couldn't stand anymore.
[14:15] Anne
    He's light, so I thought I could
    carry him to his room, but...
[14:19] Challe
    Is that for Noah?
[14:20] Anne
    Yes.
[14:21] Anne
    But he won't eat it.
[14:23] Anne
    He said he was given his wing back.
[14:26] Challe
    His wing?
[14:27] Anne
    Yes.
[14:28] Anne
    I think that Lord Herbert probably
    wanted him to leave this castle.
[14:32] Anne
    That's why he said not to eat anything
    other than what he'd given him.
[14:36] Anne
    That's the promise they made, and yet...
[14:38] Anne
    this boy said he will wait.
[14:41] Challe
    You're a silver sugar master, aren't you?
[14:46] Challe
    Make something that will convince him,
    something that will make him want to eat.
[14:50] Anne
    A silver sugar master...
[14:53] Challe
    Am I wrong?
[14:54] Anne
    No, you're not wrong.
[15:03] Anne
    Challe?
[15:05] Challe
    Did Gladus say anything to you?
[15:07] Anne
    What? Why are you asking so suddenly?
[15:10] Challe
    Answer me.
[15:11] Anne
    Um... he said that I smell like silver sugar.
[15:20] Anne
    Challe?
[15:35] Anne
    Ch-Challe?!
[15:37] Challe
    You are too defenseless.
[15:39] Anne
    Is Gladus dangerous?
[15:41] Challe
    I don't know. So, stay on your guard.
[15:44] Anne
    I will.
[15:47] Challe
    Good girl.
[15:53] Challe
    You didn't sleep well last night.
    Sleep in my room tonight.
[15:59] Challe
    I will watch over Noah. Now, go.
[16:03] Anne
    All right.
[16:19] Anne; internal
    I'm sure he's just treating me
    like he would a child.
[16:22] Anne; internal
    But...
[16:25] Anne; internal
    I'm so happy.
[16:30] Herbert
    Young Miss Silver Sugar Master.
[16:36] Anne; internal
    What? Am I...
[16:41] (Flashback) Noah
    It's your turn, Lord Herbert.
[16:52] (Flashback) Herbert
    This is a difficult one.
[16:54] (Flashback) Noah
    Hurry up and make your move, please.
[16:57] Anne; internal
    Is this person Noah's master?
[17:09] (Flashback) Herbert
    You eat one too, Noah.
[17:16] (Flashback) Noah
    This crest is really beautiful.
[17:19] (Flashback) Herbert
    That's because it represents
    the pride of my family.
[17:22] (Flashback) Herbert
    The swords, shield, and lion are "strength."
[17:25] (Flashback) Herbert
    The blue flag is "compassion."
[17:27] (Flashback) Herbert
    It says, "Follow me, for I bestow compassion
    on the people with my strength."
[17:32] (Flashback) Herbert
    Though I don't know the first thing
    about wielding a sword.
[17:36] (Flashback) Noah
    But your heart is strong, Lord Herbert,
    and you are deeply compassionate.
[17:43] (Flashback) Noah
    Lord Herbert, why do you keep me
    even though I'm so useless?
[17:49] (Flashback) Herbert
    Useless? That's not true at all.
[17:51] (Flashback) Noah
    You're lying.
[17:52] (Flashback) Noah
    I'm clumsy. I break dishes all the time.
[17:55] (Flashback) Noah
    I've never been any help at anything.
[17:58] (Flashback) Herbert
    You are helping. After all...
[18:01] (Flashback) Herbert
    you're the only one who can play games
    against me on equal terms, Noah.
[18:05] (Flashback) Herbert
    You're just as bad at them
    as I am, so it's a lot of fun!
[18:08] (Flashback) Noah
    Lord Herbert, that isn't a compliment.
[18:13] (Flashback) Herbert
    Yes, it is.
[18:22] (Flashback) Noah
    Why are you leaving me behind?
[18:24] (Flashback) Noah
    Lord Herbert!
[18:26] (Flashback) Noah
    Please, answer me!
[18:27] (Flashback) Herbert
    I've already told you.
[18:28] (Flashback) Herbert
    While I'm away, I need someone
    to protect this place.
[18:33] (Flashback) Noah
    That's not true!
[18:36] (Flashback) Noah
    Anyone could...
[18:41] (Flashback) Herbert
    Here. Eat these.
[18:45] (Flashback) Herbert
    I want you to eat them.
[19:02] (Flashback) Herbert
    If they find these,
    I'm sure they'll smash them.
[19:05] (Flashback) Herbert
    I'd much rather you ate them instead.
[19:09] (Flashback) Herbert
    Noah, please protect the castle for me.
[19:12] (Flashback) Herbert
    This is an important role
    that only you can fulfill.
[19:16] (Flashback) Herbert
    But listen closely...
[19:18] (Flashback) Herbert
    you can't eat anything in this castle other
    than the sugar confections I've just given you.
[19:22] (Flashback) Noah
    What?
[19:25] (Flashback) Herbert
    When you get hungry and feel like eating
    something, leave this place. All right?
[19:30] (Flashback) Noah
    But why?
[19:34] (Flashback) Noah
    Lord Herbert!
[19:38] (Flashback) Noah
    Why?
[19:48] (Flashback) Noah
    I won't eat these.
[19:52] (Flashback) Noah
    No matter what.
[19:57] Anne; internal
    Noah.
[20:02] Herbert
    Young Miss Silver Sugar Master
    who loves fairies so...
[20:05] Herbert
    I want you to save him.
[20:14] Anne
    Lord Herbert.
[20:25] Anne
    Rain like this at this time of year is...
[20:28] King
    Everyone, come quickly!
[20:31] Orland
    The silver sugar is...
[20:36] Anne
    What is this? It's hard!
[20:39] Valentine
    These are all hard too!
[20:41] Orland
    These are bad too.
[20:42] King
    They've absorbed the humidity
    from the leak in the roof!
[20:45] Elliott
    Check them! Check all of the barrels!
[20:48] Elliott
    Carry them over there!
[20:49] Valentine
    Yes, sir!
[20:49] Nadir
    It's no good! The rain
    reached all the way inside!
[20:51] Orland
    This one too.
[20:52] Elliott
    Blast it! Did all of them get drenched?!
[20:54] Nadir; background
    No good. This one's hard, too.
[20:55] Anne
    Why? How could this have happened?
[20:56] Orland; background
    So is this one!
[20:57] King; background
    Let's carry any intact
    silver sugar out of here.
