[00:20] Jonas
Anne?
[00:22] Jonas
Anne!
[00:23] Anne
What?
[00:24] Anne
J-Jonas?
[00:27] ---
I don't know how far I can go, but…
[00:42] ---
It's all right
[00:44] ---
Even alone, I'll be fine, but…
[00:48] ---
You know, the truth is that no one is alone
[00:55] ---
Things like happiness, loneliness, and even anxiety…
[01:01] ---
We are born to savor all those things
[01:11] ---
A single spoonful of sparkles
[01:14] ---
Transforms everything into smiles
[01:18] ---
That could be what I secretly wished for…
[01:25] ---
That miracle
[01:27] ---
We're each searching for our most precious treasures
[01:34] ---
That's what our journey is for
[01:40] ---
I don't know how far I can go, but...
[01:48] ---
Each moment that passes before me shall be spun from hope
[01:57] Anne
What happened, Jonas?
[01:59] Anne
What are you doing here?
[02:02] Jonas
I was worried, so I came after you.
[02:05] Jonas
I'm glad you're safe.
[02:06] Jonas
From here on, I'll protect you.
[02:09] Anne
I'm not sure that means much coming from
someone who was just attacked by bandits...
[02:13] Jonas
But it's very strange...
[02:16] Jonas
When did I catch up and pass you?
[02:18] Anne
I stopped in the town of Redington, so...
[02:22] Anne
Wait, are you even listening to me?
[02:24] Jonas
Redington?
[02:25] Jonas
Oh, that's where you
bought the warrior fairy.
[02:28] Jonas
It's quite beautiful.
[02:30] Jonas
Did you make a mistake
and buy a companion fairy instead?
[02:34] Anne
Jonas, please, won't you go back?
[02:38] Anne
This journey is much too dangerous for you.
[02:40] Jonas
I am not going back.
[02:43] Jonas
I am going to Lewiston with you.
[02:45] Jonas
And you know why, don't you?
[02:47] Jonas
Because I love you!
[02:49] Anne
Um, Jonas.
[02:51] Anne
I appreciate your feelings,
but I think you're confused.
[02:55] Anne
You think the feelings of pity
you have toward me are love.
[02:59] Jonas
I came here for your sake!
[03:01] Jonas
Do you hate me?
[03:03] Jonas
This doesn't make you happy at all?
[03:08] Challe
Scarecrow. We should hurry
and leave this place.
[03:11] Challe
Wild crows.
[03:13] Challe
They've caught the scent
of blood and come here.
[03:15] Challe
Once they've appeared,
wolves aren't far behind.
[03:18] Anne
This is bad. We must set off at once!
[03:20] Challe
So, you have a man who would come after you?
[03:23] Challe
Impressive, for a child.
[03:24] Anne
I am not a child!
[03:26] Anne
I am fifteen. I have fully come of age!
[03:29] Anne
And Jonas isn't that sort of a person to me.
He feels pity for me, that's all.
[03:34] Challe
Pity?
[03:35] Anne
Whatever the case,
you should turn back here, Jonas!
[03:38] Anne
You aren't the sort of person who should be
doing dangerous things in a place like this!
[03:55] Anne
Say, Challe. About the cart behind us...
[03:59] Anne
If anything happens, will you go and help?
[04:02] Challe
If you wish to make me do something,
[04:04] Challe
use my wing against me
and give me an order.
[04:06] Anne
Earlier, you were quite annoying about saying,
"Give me an order, give me an order."
[04:10] Anne
What was that?
[04:11] Challe
Other than what I am ordered to do,
[04:13] Challe
I intend to do nothing.
[04:15] Anne
It's true that I decided to
make you serve me, Challe.
[04:18] Anne
But I also said that I hate doing that.
[04:21] Anne
That's why this is a request.
[04:23] Anne
For now, I will continue to make requests.
[04:25] Anne
If you still refuse,
then I'll change them into orders.
[04:28] Anne
And, just as you wish,
[04:29] Anne
I'll even say, "I'll rip up your wing
unless you do as you're told."
[04:32] Anne
But first, I will make a request!
[04:35] Challe
You truly are a strange scarecrow-head.
[04:37] Anne
You keep saying "scarecrow, scarecrow"...
[04:41] Anne
Not that it matters anymore.
[04:44] Jonas
So this is a fortshelter, is it?
[04:46] Jonas
It's my first time staying in one.
[04:47] Anne
Your first time?
Then, what did you do last night?
[04:51] Jonas
I had the horses run through the night.
[04:53] Jonas
I wanted to catch up to you
as quickly as possible!
[04:56] Anne
Jonas, after we stay here tonight,
tomorrow you should—
[04:59] Jonas
Right now, I am simply going
somewhere I want to go, that's all.
[05:02] Jonas
It isn't as though I'm following you.
[05:07] Anne
My head aches...
[05:22] (Flashback) Challe
Don't touch me!
[05:24] (Flashback) Challe
Everything other than what you
hold in your hands is mine.
[05:33] Anne
Jonas? It's me. Will you open the door?
[05:35] Cathy
Was there something you required?
[05:37] Anne
Cathy!
[05:38] Anne
You came with him?
[05:40] Cathy
I am Master Jonas's labor fairy.
Naturally, I did.
[05:44] Anne
Th-That's true. Of course.
And where is Jonas?
[05:48] Cathy
He has retired for the evening.
[05:50] Anne
Then when he wakes,
will you tell him to eat this?
[05:55] Cathy
Such crude fare as this...
Master Jonas will not eat a single mouthful.
[05:59] Anne
At home, that might be true,
[06:02] Anne
but on a journey, this is
something to be grateful for.
[06:05] Cathy
It reeks of beast fat.
Even I, a fairy, would disdain to eat it.
[06:09] Anne
Is that so? Well, I'm very sorry
for my unwanted meddling!
[06:13] Anne
Here.
[06:15] Challe
What is it? And what do you
want me to do with it?
[06:17] Anne
It's your portion, of course!
[06:20] Anne
Was it wrong of me
to offer you such poor fare?
[06:22] Anne
Does a soup reeking of beast fat
not suit your taste either?
[06:26] Challe
What is this, all of a sudden?
[06:27] Challe
It's as though your head
has been set on fire.
[06:29] Anne
Well, I am a scarecrow-head, after all.
I'm sure it would burn very well!
[06:33] Challe
Apparently, it's quite the blaze.
[06:35] Anne
Well, who wouldn't be ablaze?
[06:37] Anne
"This poor person's soup wouldn't suit
[06:39] Anne
the tastes of an honorable heir
to a sugar confectionary."
[06:41] Anne
That's what a fairy just said to me.
[06:43] Anne
Do you find this soup detestable, too?
[06:45] Challe
That isn't it. I was simply... surprised.
[06:49] Anne
Surprised? By what?
[06:52] Challe
Before serving yourself,
you gave me soup. That surprised me.
[06:56] Anne
What are you talking about?
[06:58] Anne
When you make food, having other people
eat first is the normal thing to do, isn't it?
[07:02] Anne
Oh, a spoon!
[07:07] Anne
I'm so sorry!
[07:08] Anne
What?
[07:18] Anne
Challe, that was...
[07:19] Challe
I ate it.
[07:20] Anne
You ate it? How?
[07:22] Challe
We don't eat with our mouths.
[07:24] Challe
We hold our hands over it,
or touch it, to absorb it.
[07:27] Anne
Is that how fairies are?
[07:30] Anne
So, was it good?
[07:31] Challe
There is no flavor. We simply absorb it.
[07:36] Challe
There is one thing which we can taste.
[07:39] Anne
What is it?
[07:40] Challe
Silver sugar.
[07:42] Challe
It's sweet.
[07:46] Anne
Do you like sugar confections?
[07:48] Challe
I don't hate them.
[07:51] Anne
Then, I'll make some for you!
[07:53] Anne
Despite how I might appear,
I am a bit of a sugar artisan!
[07:56] Challe
You?
[07:59] Anne
Listen and be amazed!
[08:00] Anne
My mama was a silver sugar master!
[08:03] Anne
As her daughter,
[08:04] Anne
I've been playing with silver sugar
instead of clay since I could toddle!
[08:09] Anne
Moonflower would suit you, Challe.
Maybe I'll make something in that shape.
[08:15] Anne
Challe! Th-There's something
in the cargo hold!
[08:17] Anne
W-Will you go and look?
[08:18] Challe
Is that an order?
[08:20] Anne
What?
[08:21] Challe
If I don't go look, will you tear up my wing?
[08:24] Anne
Th-That isn't...
[08:26] Challe
Then, do it yourself.
[08:28] Anne
Fine. I'll just go and look then!
[08:43] Anne
There's nothing here?
[08:45] Mithril
Hey, you!
[08:46] Anne
No!
[08:49] Mithril
Let me go, you lowlife! I said, let go!
[08:52] Challe
Is this meant as provocation?!
[08:54] Mithril
Owww...
[08:56] Mithril
You sure are a rough one!
I am delicate, you know?
[08:59] Mithril
Be gentler with me!
[09:00] Challe
You talk too much.
[09:02] Anne
So, you're the one who was
running wild in the cargo hold?
[09:04] Mithril
I wasn't running wild.
[09:06] Mithril
I nodded off, had a nightmare,
and woke with a jump.
[09:09] Anne
That was quite a jump as you woke up.
[09:11] Anne
That aside, who are you?
[09:13] Anne
When, and why, did you climb into my cart?
[09:16] Mithril
I am Mithril Lid Pod!
[09:18] Mithril
I've come to return the favor to you!
[09:20] Anne
Return the favor?
[09:22] Anne
Oh!
[09:23] (Flashback) Mithril
Bah! I'd never thank the likes of a human!
[09:26] (Flashback) Mithril
And don't you forget it!
[09:28] Anne
Are you the one from back then?
[09:29] Mithril
What? So, you didn't remember me?
[09:32] Mithril
Forgetting the face of the one
you saved... You're heartless!
[09:35] Anne
Wh-What is that supposed to mean?
How does that make me heartless?
[09:39] Anne
Besides, back then, you were
covered in mud and—
[09:41] Mithril
At any rate, yesterday, you saved me.
[09:44] Mithril
That's why I've come to fulfill my duty.
[09:47] Anne
But back then, you said you'd never
thank a human, didn't you?
[09:52] Mithril
I did. Because I hate humans, you see?
[09:55] Mithril
That's why I'm returning the favor instead.
[09:57] Mithril
And let me tell you, I'll return the favor,
but I'll never say thanks, not even if I die.
[10:01] Mithril
Well then! Let me return the favor!
[10:03] Anne
Well, um...
[10:05] Anne
I know!
[10:06] Anne
Will you oil the wagon's axles for me?
[10:08] Mithril
Don't treat me like I'm stupid!
[10:09] Mithril
In return for the favor of saving my life,
you want me to do something that dull?!
[10:13] Mithril
Think of a more impressive favor!
[10:15] Anne
What do you mean by "an impressive favor"?
[10:17] Mithril
I'm telling you to figure it out, aren't I?
[10:20] Challe
He's a fussy one.
Should I strangle him to death?
[10:21] Mithril; background
A favor! A favor!
[10:23] Challe
If you order me to, I will.
[10:25] Mithril
What did you say?
[10:26] Anne
Wait, wait, wait!
[10:28] Anne
Then there won't have been
any point in saving him!
[10:30] Anne
Let's see, you... Mithril, was it?
[10:33] Mithril
It's Mithril Lid Pod! Don't shorten it!
[10:37] Anne
Mithril Lid Pod.
[10:38] Anne
There's no need to return the favor.
[10:41] Anne
I didn't save you in the hopes of
something like that.
[10:44] Anne
You're free. You should go wherever
you like and live happily th—
[10:48] Mithril
Hey! Human girl!
[10:50] Anne
It's Anne.
[10:52] Mithril
Anne.
[10:52] Mithril
You're pretending you're kind
when you're not, trying to get rid of me!
[10:55] Mithril
Like I'll let that happen?
[10:56] Mithril
Let me repay the favor!
[10:58] Mithril
If you don't, I'll follow you
to the depths of the underworld!
[11:01] Anne
The underworld?
[11:03] Challe
We should strangle him to death.
[11:04] Mithril
You!
[11:05] Mithril; background
You're a fairy, too!
How could you say such mean things to me?
[11:06] Anne
Somehow, I feel exhausted.
[11:07] Mithril; background
Fairy killer! Fairy killer!
[11:10] Mithril; background
Let go of me! Let me go, you fairy killer!
[11:12] Anne
I'm sorry, Challe. I'll make a sugar
confection for you tomorrow night.
[11:13] Mithril; background
Hey! You! I'm talking to you!
[11:16] Anne
Don't steal your wing
while I'm asleep, all right?
[11:18] Mithril; background
Let go! Let go! Let go! Let go! Let go!
[11:19] Challe
Regardless of whether I take it or not,
I don't think you will be able to sleep.
[11:22] Mithril
Hey, you two! Why are you
trying to go to sleep?!
[11:25] Mithril
Wake up! I said, wake up!
[11:27] Mithril
Don't fall asleep!
[11:37] Challe
Shall we throw him out now, while we can?
[11:39] Anne
That would be too cruel, so please don't.
[11:42] Anne
And even if we did cast him aside,
he'd only come back.
[11:45] Anne
He did go so far as to say he'd follow us
to the depths of the underworld.
[11:51] Anne
Mama...
[11:52] Anne
Until we reach Lewiston safely...
[11:55] Anne
please watch over us.
[12:02] Jonas
Anne, you understand, don't you?
[12:04] Jonas
I am worried about you.
[12:07] Jonas
That's all.
[12:10] Jonas
Anne.
[12:15] Anne
We've traveled 300 karon
since we started the Bloody Highway.
[12:18] Anne
From this point on, it would be even more
dangerous to turn back alone.
[12:22] Anne
Now it's come to this, why don't we travel
as far as Lewiston together?
[12:25] Jonas
You understand, then?!
[12:27] Anne
In return, I hope you understand
that this is truly dangerous.
[12:31] Jonas
Of course.
[12:41] Anne
Jonas, Cathy, allow me
to formally introduce you.
[12:44] Anne
Challe fen Challe. He's a warrior fairy.
[12:47] Jonas
What about a name? You haven't given him one?
[12:49] Anne
What I just told you is his name.
[12:51] Anne
I call him Challe.
[12:53] Jonas
Normally, you give them human names.
[12:56] Jonas
You there. You're so beautiful it seems
a waste to keep you as a warrior fairy.
[13:01] Jonas
You'd be likely to sell as a companion fairy.
[13:03] Challe
If I suit your fancy, then will you
buy me from the scarecrow?
[13:06] Challe
In terms of foolishness,
you're each as bad as the other.
[13:09] Challe
It doesn't matter to me
which of you I am made to serve.
[13:12] Jonas
F-Foolishness?
[13:13] Anne
Challe!
[13:14] Anne
I'm sorry, Jonas! Challe has a sharp tongue.
[13:18] Anne
He's called me an idiot
or a fool countless times.
[13:22] Anne
Please don't let it bother you.
[13:24] Jonas
I-I won't. It isn't something
you need to apologize for, Anne.
[13:27] Jonas
More importantly, what about that fairy?
[13:30] Mithril
You mean me?
[13:31] Mithril
I am Lord Mithril Lid Pod!
[13:34] Mithril
Make sure to use "lord"
when you call my name.
[13:36] Jonas
L-Lord?
[13:38] Anne
Honestly!
[13:39] Anne
Why are both of you so arrogant?
[13:42] Anne
Please confine that attitude just to me.
Other people have nothing to do with it!
[13:46] Anne
Now, it's time for our meal!
[13:52] Anne
With so much delicious food, you wouldn't
need something like my soup, would you?
[13:57] Cathy
Of course not. Not that crude soup
reeking of beast fat.
[14:01] Jonas
Silence, Cathy!
[14:03] Jonas
I will not allow you to speak
to Anne with such rudeness!
[14:08] Cathy
My apologies, Master Jonas. I was only—
[14:10] Jonas
Disappear.
[14:16] Jonas
I'm sorry, Anne. My labor fairy
hasn't been trained very well.
[14:20] Jonas
Your soup was delicious.
I would be happy to have it again tonight.
[14:24] Anne
Oh, um, of course.
[14:27] Anne; internal
The way Jonas behaves is probably
the correct way to act as a fairy's master...
[14:33] Anne
but even so...
[14:34] Mithril
The ability to erase her form?
That's pretty impressive.
[14:38] Mithril
But compared to the power of
the wonder that is me, it's still lacking.
[14:43] Anne
Mithril, what powers do you have?
[14:46] Mithril
Don't be too surprised!
[14:47] Mithril
In the northernmost part of
the Kingdom of Highland lies a great lake,
[14:50] Mithril
the waters of Loess Lake...
[14:51] Mithril
A drop of that water landed on a leaf,
and that's what I was born from!
[14:55] Anne
From a water drop?
[14:56] Anne
Are all fairies born from water drops?
[14:59] Mithril
Anne, you don't know anything, do you?
[15:01] Mithril
Fairies are born from all sorts of things.
[15:05] Mithril
Grass seeds. The fruit or nuts of trees.
[15:07] Mithril
Water drops or jewels.
[15:09] Mithril
The energy of an object
condenses and then we're born.
[15:12] Mithril
But for that to happen,
the gaze of a living being is needed.
[15:15] Mithril
Human, animal, it doesn't matter what.
[15:18] Mithril
Being gazed upon
causes the energy to take form,
[15:21] Mithril
and that's what turns into a fairy.
[15:24] Anne
Really?
[15:26] Anne
Challe, what were you born from?
[15:29] Mithril
From the look of him, I'd say obsidian.
[15:31] Mithril
Incidentally, precious stone fairies
have the power to create sharp things.
[15:35] Mithril
Since I was born from a water drop,
I can control water.
[15:39] Mithirl
That's my power.
[15:41] Anne
Control water?
[15:42] Anne
That's incredible! Will you show me?
[15:43] Mithril
Sure!
[15:47] Mithril
There!
[15:51] Anne
That's cold!
[15:52] Anne
You're amazing, Mithril!
[15:53] Anne
What can you do, using that?
[15:55] Mithril
What? I just showed you.
[15:58] Anne
What? That's all?
[16:00] Mithril
What do you mean,
"That's all"?! "That's all"?!
[16:02] Mithril
Are you criticizing the power
of the wonder that is me?
[16:05] Challe
It would be useful
in giving water to little birds.
[16:08] Mithril
N-No one asked you!
And what kind of comment is that?
[16:11] Mithril
Are you making fun of me?
[16:13] Challe
This is bad.
[16:13] Mithril
What?
[16:14] Mithril
What's bad?
[16:17] Mithril
Hey, Challe fen Challe, that's...
[16:20] Anne
What? What's wrong?
[16:22] Jonas
Anne! Look above!
[16:27] Anne
Is this an attack?
[16:30] Challe
Wild crows are cleaners,
scavenging the wilds for carrion.
[16:33] Challe
But when there is no carrion for them to eat,
[16:36] Challe
they form large flocks to hunt down prey...
[16:37] Challe
and devour it alive.
[16:40] Challe
The day before yesterday,
they barely had a lick of bandit blood.
[16:43] Challe
It must have made them hungry.
[16:47] Anne
Challe, please...
[16:50] Anne
Challe, I'm giving you an order.
[16:52] Anne
Protect us from the wild crows!
[16:55] Anne
I hold your wing.
[16:57] Anne
You know what that means, don't you?
[17:00] Challe
Stop the cart.
[17:03] Challe
Hide in the cargo hold.
[17:05] Jonas
Anne!
[17:06] Anne
Jonas, you should hide
in your cargo hold, too! Quickly!
[17:09] Mithril
I see! So this is what returning a favor is!
[17:11] Mithril
I will chase them off and—
[17:13] Anne
You too!
[17:25] Anne; internal
Help me, Challe!
[17:27] Mithril
Don't be afraid, Anne. It's all right.
[17:30] Mithril
Challe fen Challe is obsidian!
[17:32] Mithril
He isn't like us.
[17:35] Mithril
He won't get hurt...
[17:37] Mithril
and he won't break.
[17:42] Anne
Is it over?
[17:51] Anne
Challe...
[18:05] Challe
Did your legs give out on you?
[18:07] Anne
N-No, they didn't!
[18:12] Challe
What's wrong, Scarecrow?
[18:14] Challe
Are you requesting
a more special sort of service?
[18:20] Anne
I-I would never!
[18:22] Anne
A-At any rate, thank you. For saving me.
[18:29] Anne
This isn't good.
It's just one thing after another.
[18:32] Jonas
What's wrong, Anne?
[18:34] Anne
We won't reach the fortshelter before sunset.
[18:37] Anne
The wild crow's attack
has made a mess of our schedule.
[18:40] Anne
Oh, wait!
[18:42] Anne
There's a doctor's inn!
[18:43] Jonas
What is a doctor's inn?
[18:45] Anne
Just as the name states, it's an inn
where doctors allow travelers to stay.
[18:49] Anne
And bandits rarely attack doctors.
[18:52] Anne
For travelers, they're the next
safest place to fortshelters.
[18:55] Challe
Will such an old map
really prove to be accurate?
[18:59] Anne
There are no mistakes
in a map that Mama drew!
[19:03] Anne
In any case, that is where we'll stay today.
[19:05] Anne
We have to hurry!
[19:09] Anne; internal
Please let us make it in time.
[19:13] Anne; internal
Is it impossible?
[19:15] Anne; internal
Mama would have been
able to do this properly.
[19:18] Challe
Where is this mother of yours?
[19:23] Anne
Mama died. Did I not mention it?
[19:27] Anne
Two weeks ago.
[19:29] Anne
I made up my mind to become
a silver sugar master, like she was.
[19:33] Anne
At the end of autumn,
there's an event held in Lewiston,
[19:35] Anne
the Sugar Confectionary Exhibition.
I'll submit a piece...
[19:38] Anne
and have the king acknowledge my skills.
[19:40] Anne
I want to become
a silver sugar master this year.
[19:43] Anne
Do you know why?
[19:47] Anne
In the winter, we celebrate Pull Soul Day.
[19:49] Anne
We send off those who died that year
as they're pulled to the heavens.
[19:53] Anne
As a silver sugar master, I will make
a splendid sugar confection with my own hands,
[19:58] Anne
and send Mama's spirit to the heavens.
[20:02] Anne
That way, Mama will feel reassured
and be able to go to the heavens, won't she?
[20:05] Anne
It's a good idea, don't you think?
[20:07] Challe; internal
And that's why, is it?
[20:10] Anne
Oh! A light!
[20:13] Anne
Wait! Please wait!
[20:18] doctor
Wild crows? That's quite the calamity.
[20:21] doctor
The important thing is that you're safe.
[20:23] doctor
This room is for you and yours.
Your travel companions are next door.
[20:26] doctor
Leave your things and, once you've
rested a bit, come to the dining hall.
[20:30] doctor
We should be able to serve you
something like a simple soup.
[20:36] Anne
A bed. It's been a while.
[20:39] Jonas
Anne.
[20:40] Jonas
You're hungry, aren't you?
Let's go and accept their offer of food.
[20:43] Anne
Jonas... I'll rest a little more first.
[20:47] Jonas
There's no need to pretend you're all right.
[20:49] Jonas
You're starving, aren't you? Come on.
SIGN The Bloody Highway
[21:16] ---
Is it just like the dreams we dream at night?
[21:21] ---
Do we give names to our other dreams because,
[21:26] ---
Just as our night dreams are forgotten upon waking,
[21:30] ---
If they aren't held dear, they will disappear?
[21:37] ---
No, it's because they aren't things
that only special people can see
[21:48] ---
That day
[21:49] ---
I reached out again and again
[21:53] ---
I failed to catch that shining fruit, and yet
[21:59] ---
I'll reach out once more
[22:04] ---
If I make my wishes come true myself
[22:09] ---
I just know it will make you smile
[22:14] ---
That's why I'm able to say I'm not giving up
