[00:06] Lafalle
    Is this all the silver sugar?
[00:10] Lafalle
    I see.
[00:11] Lafalle
    Kill him.
[00:14] Challe
    I refuse.
[00:16] Lafalle
    Very well.
[00:22] artisan
    Stop! Don't!
[00:30] Lafalle
    Let's head back.
[02:41] Lafalle
    I told you to make fief pieces like
     the ones the Silver Sugar Viscount made.
[02:48] Lafalle
    Not some distorted object like that one.
[02:51] Lafalle
    Perhaps a different silver sugar master
    is required after all?
[02:55] Anne
    I'll make it again! So, please...
[02:58] Lafalle
    Take this away.
[03:10] Lusul
    Anne?
[03:14] Lusul
    I'm back again!
[03:15] Anne
    Lusul.
[03:20] Anne
    Why are all the other fairies
    in a place like this?
[03:25] Lusul
    They don't speak of it much,
     but when they do,
[03:27] Lusul
    they say that it's better
    than being controlled by humans.
[03:32] Anne
    I see.
[03:33] Lusul
    There are over fifty of us now,
    so it's difficult to find meals!
[03:37] Lusul
    Say, Anne, has Challe told you anything?
[03:40] Lusul
    Is Master Lafalle planning
    to make some sort of move?
[03:44] Anne
    I don't know.
[03:45] Lusul
    Oh, I see.
[03:48] Lusul
    Oh!
[03:49] Lusul
    Is this silver sugar? Why is it here?
[03:53] Anne
    Lafalle asked me to make something.
[03:56] Anne
    I haven't told you, have I?
    I'm a sugar artisan.
[04:00] Anne
    That's why Lafalle asked me
    to make sugar confections.
[04:03] Lusul
    Sugar confections?
[04:05] Lusul
    Those are sweet, aren't they?
[04:07] Anne
    You've never eaten any?
[04:09] Anne
    Then, shall I make some right now?
[04:11] Lusul
    You don't mind?
[04:12] Anne
    No.
[04:18] Lusul
    Incredible! Those are the herb berries
    I was born from, aren't they?
[04:23] Lusul
    What sort of magic did you use?
[04:25] Anne
    This isn't magic.
[04:27] Anne
    Go on, try eating it.
[04:29] Lusul
    Are you sure?
[04:45] Lusul
    It's so sweet. And somehow,
    it makes me feel energized.
[04:51] Anne
    I'm glad.
[04:52] Lusul
    Say, Anne? Would it be all right
    for me to take this to the others?
[04:56] Lusul
    I want to feed it to the injured.
[04:59] Anne
    Injured?
[05:00] Lusul
    When they come back from outside,
    they're always covered in wounds.
[05:04] Lusul
    They hurt to even look at.
[05:06] Anne
    Yes, please take it to them.
    If there isn't enough, I'll make more.
[05:11] Lusul
    Thank you!
[05:22] Challe
    She came back here again?
[05:34] Anne
    Say, Challe...
[05:36] Challe
    Hmm?
[05:38] Anne
    It's nothing.
[05:45] Anne; internal
    I can't ask him.
[05:47] Anne; internal
    I can't ask what Challe is being made to do.
[05:51] Anne; internal
    And even if I did ask,
    there isn't anything I can do.
[05:55] (Flashback) Lafalle
    Humans living with humans. Fairies
    with fairies. That's where happiness lies.
[06:01] (Flashback) Lafalle
    If you truly care about Challe, then...
[06:05] Anne
    Challe, have you ever met a fairy...
    a female precious stone fairy?
[06:12] Challe
    What's this all of a sudden?
[06:14] Anne
    It's nothing, really.
[06:15] Anne
    I was just wondering if there might be
    someone you might fall in love with, Challe.
[06:20] Challe
    What are you trying to say?
[06:22] Anne
    I was so happy when you told me
    that you'd stay with me forever.
[06:28] Anne
    But... I don't know if it's right for me to
    indulge myself by relying on those words.
[06:33] Anne
    Challe, I don't want you to push yourself
    too hard, and I want you to be happy.
[06:37] Anne
    So, Challe, if you ever—
[06:39] Challe
    Anne.
[06:42] Challe
    It's all right to rely on me.
[06:47] Challe
    Anne.
[06:51] (Flashback) Lafalle
    You will only bring him sorrow.
[07:10] background; ad-lib
    Are you all right?
[07:11] background; ad-lib
    Yeah.
[07:16] Anne
    Lusul?
[07:18] Lusul
    Anne!
[07:21] Lusul
    Are those...
[07:22] Anne
    Yes, I made some more.
[07:24] Anne
    If there are people who need them, then...
[07:26] Lusul
    That's wonderful! There are some
    people with terrible injuries today.
[07:30] Lusul
    There are sugar confections!
[07:31] Lusul
    Will you go give them to the ones in the back?
[07:34] Anne
    Here, if you'd like.
[07:36] warrior fairy B
    That's a great help.
[07:41] Lusul
    Despite how it seems, he's grateful.
[07:43] Lusul
    But I think he hates
    the idea of thanking a human.
[07:47] Lusul
    I've never been under anyone's control,
    but they all say they really hate humans, so...
[07:53] Anne
    I see.
[07:56] (Flashback) Mithril
    And let me tell you, I'll return the favor,
    but I'll never say thanks, not even if I die.
[08:01] Lusul
    Is something wrong?
[08:03] Anne
    No, it's nothing. It's just...
[08:07] Anne
    I want to hurry up and go home.
[08:10] Anne
    I want to do the things I should be doing.
[08:13] Anne
    Are all of you all right with it?
[08:15] Anne
    With your wings in the grip of another,
    you can't do what you want to do.
[08:18] Anne
    You can't even go where you want to go.
[08:20] Lusul
    Do what we want to do?
[08:22] Anne
    That's right. Lusul, isn't there
    something you want to do?
[08:25] Lusul
    I can't think of anything.
[08:28] Lusul
    Say, is there anyone here
    who has something they want to do?
[08:34] warrior fairy A
    I'd like to go see the ocean.
    I haven't even seen it once yet.
[08:38] Lusul
    The ocean? What's the ocean?
[08:41] warrior fairy C
    You don't know what the ocean is?
[08:43] warrior fairy C
    It's more vast than any kingdom,
    like a giant, very salty puddle.
[08:47] Lusul
    Oh, no! Everyone will drown!
[08:53] Anne
    I wish I could get all your wings back for you.
[08:57] Anne
    If I could, then you'd all be free.
[09:00] warrior fairy C
    Free? None of us are in human hands anymore.
[09:04] warrior fairy C
    Isn't this freedom?
[09:06] Anne
    You've just changed one master for another...
[09:09] Anne
    from humans to your king, Lafalle.
[09:25] Jonas
    So this is where you've been.
[09:28] Jonas
    Mister Hingley says he wants to start
    assembling the pieces.
[09:31] Keith
    All right. I'll be right there.
[09:33] Jonas
    All right.
[09:39] Keith
    Jonas...
[09:42] Keith
    Do you think Anne will come back?
[09:44] Jonas
    She'll come back.
[09:45] Keith
    But even now, after twenty days
    have passed, we don't have a single lead.
[09:49] Keith
    And it's so cold.
[09:51] Jonas
    Anne is... really headstrong.
[09:55] Jonas
    She's headstrong and persistent and an idiot.
[09:59] Jonas
    So, no matter what may happen,
    she'll likely be just fine.
[10:03] Keith
    Jonas.
[10:05] Keith
    You're right.
[10:07] Keith
    Are you going to keep working
    at the Paige Workshop after this?
[10:10] Keith
    Will you stay here even after
    the Holy Beginnings Festival?
[10:13] Jonas
    I...
[10:15] Jonas
    I'm going back to the Radcliffe Workshop.
[10:17] Keith
    That's unexpected.
[10:18] Jonas
    I'll be going back,
    but you'll be there, too, Keith.
[10:20] Jonas
    I know I don't compare to you.
[10:23] Jonas
    But I thought it might be
    all right for me to try a little harder.
[10:26] Jonas
    I want it, too. Just once, I...
[10:29] Keith
    Want to be as headstrong as Anne?
[10:32] Jonas
    N-No! That's not it at all!
[10:35] Jonas
    It's just something I found myself thinking.
[10:37] Keith
    I see.
[10:38] Jonas
    Hurry up and come back inside.
    You're going to get me yelled at, too.
[10:43] Keith
    I will.
[10:48] Earl of Downing
    The same modus operandi here as well.
[10:52] Earl of Downing
    It's all very well that
    we've increased our troops,
[10:54] Earl of Downing
    but without any leads,
    there's nothing further to discuss.
[10:56] Hugh
    I didn't think they'd be this careful.
[11:00] Earl of Downing
    We have to put an end to this
    before there are any more victims.
[11:04] Hugh
    Yes, we really do.
[11:14] Hugh
    It couldn't be...
[11:15] Earl of Downing
    What is it?
[11:16] Hugh
    My lord,
[11:19] Hugh
    we do have one. We have a lead.
[11:32] warrior fairy
    So, I'm free at last?
[11:35] warrior fairy A
    Hey, could you tell the girl?
[11:39] Challe
    The girl?
[11:40] warrior fairy A
    The human girl who's always with you.
[11:43] warrior fairy A
    Could you tell her to make sugar
    confections for us again today if she can?
[11:49] Challe
    Sugar confections.
[11:52] Challe; internal
    I wondered who she was making them for.
[11:54] warrior fairy A
    If she'd give them to Lusul...
[11:59] Challe
    I'll tell her.
[12:03] Lafalle
    You lot bring them and head back first.
[12:06] Lafalle
    I have somewhere I have to go with Challe.
[12:10] Lafalle
    Gathering allies ends today.
[12:14] Lafalle
    Tomorrow, we attack that town.
[12:18] Lafalle
    Our allies have increased in number so much
     that the fortress is too small now.
[12:21] Lafalle
    And in order to take care of the soldiers,
    we'll need humans we can use.
[12:26] Challe
    That's why you're attacking?
[12:28] Lafalle
    To begin with, we'll make this our territory.
[12:31] Lafalle
    We will take our kingdom back
    starting here, from these lands.
[12:35] Lafalle
    Then, we will bring freedom to every fairy.
[12:40] Challe; internal
    Is what he's saying how he truly feels?
[12:48] Challe; internal
    No.
[12:51] Challe; internal
    I see. He's also...
[12:55] Challe
    You seem happy.
[12:57] Lafalle
    Is that how it looks to you?
[12:59] Challe
    Is revenge fun, Lafalle?
[13:03] Challe
    Why are you missing one wing?
[13:06] Challe
    You appeared suddenly, said that you are
    the fairy king, and began gathering allies.
[13:12] Challe
    No one knows you from before that.
[13:14] Challe
    You were born before me. Why didn't you
    make a move in the last hundred years?
[13:20] Challe
    It's very likely that you were unable to.
[13:22] Challe
    I can only think of one reason for that.
[13:24] Lafalle
    Stop talking.
[13:26] Challe
    You were under the control of humans.
[13:28] Lafalle
    You will stop talking, Challe!
[13:31] Challe
    Unlike me, you knew that you'd been
    chosen to become the fairy king.
[13:36] Challe
    To have been captured by humans and controlled
    in spite of that must have been agony.
[13:40] Challe
    Then, at long last, you were able
    to escape the humans' grasp.
[13:43] Lafalle
    I said, stop talking!
[13:46] Lafalle
    Have you forgotten that
    I hold your wing in my hands?
[13:50] Challe
    Wings.
[13:51] Challe
    You keep hold of the wings of the fairies
    you've gathered because you trust no one.
[13:57] Challe
    Is the reason you make fairies
    with two wings offer one to you...
[14:01] Challe
    because you're infuriated
    by the fact that you only have one wing?
[14:05] Challe
    It isn't just humans.
    You hate your fellow fairies, too.
[14:08] Challe
    Why is that?
[14:10] Challe
    Because you were betrayed by your allies,
    and that's how you fell into human hands.
[14:14] Lafalle
    You insult me!
[14:15] Challe
    You simply want revenge, that's all.
[14:18] Challe
    With rage and resentment,
    you attack the humans.
[14:21] Challe
    And you want to force
    your allies to yield to you.
[14:25] Lafalle
    Is that the end of your speech?
[14:28] Lafalle
    In order to regain freedom for all fairies,
[14:31] Lafalle
    it's necessary to hate and attack humans.
[14:35] Lafalle
    And when gathering allies
    who live aimless lives,
[14:38] Lafalle
    control is necessary to keep them
    from doing stupid things.
[14:43] Lafalle
    And even if I were enjoying
     that revenge and control...
[14:48] Lafalle
    What problem could there possibly be with that?
[14:50] Challe
    Revenge and control are not things
[14:52] Challe
    that the one meant to become
    the fairy king should enjoy.
[15:03] Anne
    I made more again today.
[15:05] Anne
    If you need them...
[15:06] Lusul
    Sugar confections, right?
[15:08] Lusul
    Thank you! They're a great help!
[15:10] Anne
    You're very welcome.
[15:12] warrior fairy B
    Why?
[15:13] warrior fairy B
    You're a human. Why are you
    making sugar confections for fairies?
[15:18] Anne
    That's because everyone said they needed—
[15:20] Lafalle
    What are you doing?
[15:26] Lafalle
    What is going on here, Silver Sugar Master?
[15:30] Lafalle
    What you made for me
    was little better than trash,
[15:34] Lafalle
    but for them you make
    beautiful sugar confections?
[15:37] Anne
    I'll make them for you, too!
[15:39] Anne
    But these are meant for them!
[15:42] Lafalle
    It seems you don't understand
    the meaning of what I asked you.
[15:46] Lafalle
    When you can make things as beautiful
    as this, why would you make trash for me?
[15:51] Anne
    That's because... for some reason,
    the work just didn't go well.
[15:56] Anne
    That's why...
[15:59] Lafalle
    So, you're saying that
    you can't make them for me?
[16:02] Lafalle
    That you reject me from
    the very bottom of your heart?
[16:05] Anne
    I...
[16:06] Lafalle
    You are a truly vexing girl!
[16:09] Lafalle
    Come along!
[16:11] Lusul
    Master Lafalle, please wait!
[16:13] Lafalle
    What is it?
[16:15] Lusul
    U-Um, what are you planning
    to do with the young lady?
[16:19] Lafalle
    There is no need to keep
    a pet human who has no use.
[16:23] warrior fairy A
    Master Lafalle,
[16:24] warrior fairy A
    she is being useful.
[16:26] warrior fairy A
    Our wounds were healed.
[16:28] Lafalle
    If she can't make sugar confections
    for me, then there's no point.
[16:32] Lafalle
    If we need a silver sugar master,
    then I only need to capture another one.
[16:42] Lafalle
    For so long, I'd completely given up.
[16:44] Lafalle
    I thought that a person who could live
    beside me simply didn't exist.
[16:48] Lafalle
    No one has been born from the diamond.
[16:51] Lafalle
    And I wasn't sure
    if the obsidian was truly alive.
[16:55] Lafalle
    Other fairies were
    completely out of the question.
[16:58] Lafalle
    They're ignorant, unthinking fools.
[17:00] Lafalle
    If I didn't keep hold of
    their wings to control them,
[17:03] Lafalle
    I don't know what kind of messes they'd make.
[17:05] Lafalle
    But the obsidian, Challe fenn Challe,
    appeared before me, alive.
[17:10] Lafalle
    And yet, Challe had been enticed
    by a human girl and supported humans!
[17:17] Lafalle
    If you didn't exist,
    then Challe would think differently.
[17:22] Lafalle
    He would have lived
    beside me, I'm certain of it.
[17:24] Lafalle
    So, why...
[17:27] Anne
    Challe would still be Challe
    as he is now with me or without me.
[17:31] Anne
    If you want to be with him, then I think
    you should return all their wings to them.
[17:36] Anne
    If you want to be friends,
    then look at him as he is now and—
[17:38] Lafalle
    You are just a human!
    You do not speak his name that way!
[17:45] Lafalle
    He, like me, is a life which
    has been chosen to become the fairy king.
[17:49] Lafalle
    He is someone meant to become the fairy king.
[17:53] Anne
    The fairy king?
[18:09] Challe
    What's happened?
[18:12] Lusul
    Challe...
[18:16] Lusul
    Anne was...
[18:18] warrior fairy B
    Stop, Lusul! Master Lafalle will kill you!
[18:22] Challe
    Are you content being kept,
    like pets, by Lafalle?
[18:25] Challe
    Checking his moods. Following his orders.
[18:28] Challe
    How is it different from
    being controlled by humans?
[18:34] Challe
    I have no intention of being his pet.
[18:36] Challe
    I will protect that which is important
    to me with my own hands.
[18:40] Challe
    What has Anne done to you?
[18:42] Challe
    If you hate her because
    she's human, don't say a word.
[18:45] Challe
    But if you feel differently, then tell me!
[18:54] Challe
    What has happened to Anne?
[18:57] (Flashback) warrior fairy A
    She was taken by Master Lafalle.
[19:02] Anne; internal
    Challe is the fairy king? What does that mean?
[19:14] Lafalle
    I'll tell Challe that I released you.
[19:17] Lafalle
    One day, after time has passed,
    he'll surely forget about you.
[19:22] Lafalle
    After that, I'll go slowly.
[19:25] Lafalle
    Even if it takes a hundred years,
    I'll change his thinking.
[19:32] Lafalle
    But first, I need to get you out of the way.
[19:46] Challe
    I've told you, Lafalle. If you do
    anything to Anne, I will cut you down!
[19:50] Lafalle
    So, they told you, did they?
[19:53] Lafalle
    They really are fools after all.
[19:56] Lafalle
    There's no way to manage such fools
[19:58] Lafalle
    without taking hold of their wings
    and controlling them!
[20:01] Challe
    You can't even get that number of
    fairies to follow your orders.
[20:05] Challe
    You'll never become the fairy king.
[20:07] Lafalle
    Then, will you?
[20:09] Lafalle
    You're saying that if it were you,
[20:11] Lafalle
    you could get those fools to obey
    without holding their wings?
[20:14] Challe
    A king has no need of his fairies' freedom.
[20:17] Challe
    I will search out something else.
[20:20] Lafalle
    But before that happens, our pride will be
    destroyed at the hands of the humans.
[20:27] Lafalle
    I see that I am the only fairy king after all.
[20:31] Lafalle
    And I will control you as well.
[20:40] Anne
    Challe!
[20:42] Challe
    Run.
[20:43] Anne
    But...
[20:43] Challe
    Go! You're in the way!
