[00:00] Anne
    You have other guests?
[00:02] doctor
    Yes. They arrived just the two before you.
[00:06] doctor
    Now, please have a seat.
[00:08] Anne
    Thank you.
[00:12] Anne
    What's wrong, you three?
[00:14] Anne
    Aren't you going to come and sit down?
[00:16] Jonas
    What? Anne!
[00:17] Anne
    Huh? What?
[00:19] Jonas
    For fairies to eat in front of people
    is completely absurd!
[00:22] Anne
    Why? We usually eat together, don't we?
[00:25] doctor
    What?
[00:26] Jonas
    No, but this is in front of other people!
[00:29] Anne
    During our travels,
    we have all been eating together.
[00:33] Anne
    Would it be possible to do the same here?
[00:36] doctor
    Well...
[00:37] doctor
    I am not the type to mind...
[00:40] doctor
    But, you know, there are other guests here.
[00:43] Hugh
    It doesn't bother us! Pay me no mind.
[00:46] Hugh
    Hey there, young miss. What's your name?
[00:49] Anne
    It's Anne. Anne Halford.
[00:51] Hugh
    I'm Hugh. There's no need to
    stand on formalities, Anne.
[00:54] Hugh
    Do as you like.
[00:57] ---
    I don't know how far I can go, but…
[01:12] ---
    It's all right
[01:14] ---
    Even alone, I'll be fine, but…
[01:18] ---
    You know, the truth is that no one is alone
[01:25] ---
    Things like happiness, loneliness, and even anxiety…
[01:31] ---
    We are born to savor all those things
[01:41] ---
    A single spoonful of sparkles
[01:44] ---
    Transforms everything into smiles
[01:48] ---
    That could be what I secretly wished for…
[01:55] ---
    That miracle
[01:58] ---
    We're each searching for our most precious treasures
[02:04] ---
    That's what our journey is for
[02:11] ---
    I don't know how far I can go, but...
[02:18] ---
    Each moment that passes before me shall be spun from hope
[02:27] Hugh
    I see.
[02:29] Hugh
    So, you're on this road
    because you're heading for Lewiston.
[02:33] Jonas
    The Sugar Confectionary Exhibition is being
    held in Lewiston, and we're planning to enter!
[02:38] Hugh
    Really? So, you're both sugar artisans?
[02:42] Hugh
    If that's the case...
[02:43] Hugh
    having two labor fairies
    and one companion fairy is a little...
[02:46] Hugh
    extravagant, I'd say.
[02:47] Anne
    Challe isn't a companion fairy,
    he's a warrior fairy!
[02:50] Anne
    He's my guard!
[02:52] Hugh
    Warrior fairy? You're such a liar.
[02:54] Anne
    I'm not lying!
[02:55] Hugh
    Now, now. There's no need
    to feel embarrassed.
[02:58] Hugh
    A fairy who looks like that...
    Of course you'd want to bring him with you.
[03:02] Hugh
    Anne, did you fall for that fairy?
    Is that why you bought him?
[03:05] Anne
    It isn't like that!
[03:07] Hugh
    Then, shall we put it to the test?
[03:15] Anne
    Challe!
[03:17] Salim
    Not bad.
[03:19] Challe
    Do you want to be killed?
[03:21] Salim
    Unfortunately, I'm not quite that broken.
[03:23] Hugh
    That's enough, Salim. Withdraw your sword.
[03:26] Anne
    What do you think you're doing,
    you absolute idiot!
[03:28] Anne
    If you harm my companions,
    you will not get away with it!
[03:31] Hugh
    Sorry about that.
[03:33] Hugh
    I just can't believe that such a pretty,
    high-quality warrior fairy exists.
[03:37] Anne
    Is that any reason to do something like this?
[03:39] Hugh
    I said I'm sorry, didn't I?
[03:41] Hugh
    Let's see...
[03:42] Hugh
    As an apology, I'll pay for your stay here.
[03:45] Anne
    Don't try to brush past this like—
[03:47] Anne
    Pay... for our stay?
[03:49] Hugh
    Yes. For all five of you.
[03:51] Hugh
    Though, I feel like I'll be
    taking a loss if I do that.
[03:55] Hugh
    I know! How about you two make
    some sugar confections for me?
[03:59] Anne
    What?
[04:00] Hugh
    Ones the size of a fist will do.
[04:02] Hugh
    That'll take care of
    the cost of your stay here.
[04:04] Hugh
    Not a bad deal, right?
[04:06] Anne
    All right.
[04:07] Anne
    In exchange, you make sure
    you pay for our stay.
[04:11] Anne
    Jonas, will you pull out two bowls for me?
[04:14] Jonas
    Oh, of course.
[04:15] Anne
    Thanks.
[04:17] Jonas
    Is it all right to use that silver sugar?
[04:20] Jonas
    You still have to make your
    piece for the exhibition, don't you?
[04:23] Anne
    Yes, but I have more than enough.
[04:26] Anne
    I can't use what's in those
    three barrels, though.
[04:29] Jonas
    So, that's what you'll be
    submitting to the exhibition.
[04:33] Jonas
    Well, they do also assess entrants'
    sugar-refining skills, don't they?
[04:35] Jonas
    I'm starting to feel excited.
[04:37] Jonas
    Getting to unveil my skills in front of
    people makes me feel so proud!
[04:41] Anne
    Does it?
[04:42] Anne
    There.
[04:43] Jonas
    Actually, just between us,
[04:45] Jonas
    I might be recommended to become
    the head of the school I belong to!
[04:49] Anne
    The master of the Radcliffe Workshop school?
[04:51] Jonas
    Yes.
[04:52] Jonas
    Of course, to become the master,
[04:54] Jonas
    I have to be awarded a royal medal
    and become a silver sugar master.
[04:58] Jonas
    Um...
[04:59] Anne
    Then, why don't you enter
    the exhibition this time, too, Jonas?
[05:03] Jonas
    No, this time I'll just watch.
[05:06] Jonas
    But, for the sake of my future,
    I have to become one!
[05:09] Jonas
    If I don't, then I can't become
    the master or the Silver Sugar Viscount!
[05:14] Anne
    The Silver Sugar Viscount?
[05:15] Anne
    You mean the silver sugar master
    who works exclusively for the royal family?
[05:18] Anne
    Jonas, you want to become someone like that?
[05:20] Jonas
    Of course I do!
[05:22] Jonas
    Or rather, I will definitely become that!
[05:24] Jonas
    I mean, for a commoner like me
    to be able to become a noble...
[05:27] Jonas
    There isn't any dream
    more wonderful than that, is there?
[05:30] Jonas
    Which is why, Anne...
[05:33] Jonas
    won't please you marry me?
[05:35] Jonas
    I'll become the Silver Sugar Viscount,
[05:37] Jonas
    and make your life a happy—
[05:39] Anne
    Jonas.
[05:41] Anne
    I'm sorry.
[05:43] Anne
    Let's not talk about that anymore.
[05:46] Hugh
    I've readied all the equipment for you.
[05:49] Hugh
    There's no need to color
    the sugar confections.
[05:52] Hugh
    And I'll leave the form to the two of you.
[05:55] Anne
    Who are you, exactly?
[05:56] Anne
    Could it be that you're a sugar artisan, too?
[05:59] Hugh
    If you want me to pay for your stay here,
    then just keep quiet and make something, Anne.
[06:08] Anne; internal
    What should I make?
[06:10] Anne; internal
    If it were Mama,
[06:12] Anne; internal
    she'd make the most of
    the silver sugar's natural color.
[06:23] Hugh
    Both of you are quite proficient.
[06:25] Hugh
    Neither of you seem like novices.
[06:28] Hugh
    However...
[06:32] Jonas
    What have you done?!
[06:34] Hugh
    They were unsightly, so I destroyed them.
[06:38] Hugh
    Jonas.
[06:39] Hugh
    You're skilled, but that's all.
[06:41] Hugh
    All you want to do
    is show off your technique,
[06:44] Hugh
    so you haven't added any
    of your own ingenuity of all.
[06:46] Hugh
    Anne, you did better than Jonas.
[06:49] Hugh
    But what was this?
[06:51] Hugh
    It's as though you created this in imitation
    of something someone else had made.
[06:56] Hugh
    You're simply aping their style.
[06:58] Hugh
    It was pretty, but that's all.
    It had no charm to it.
[07:01] Hugh
    With work like this,
[07:03] Hugh
    your dreams of becoming a silver sugar
    master are no more than dreams.
[07:07] Hugh
    But I will accept these
    sugar confection fragments.
[07:12] Hugh
    I'll have them as a snack.
[07:14] Hugh
    Bye, then, Anne. Jonas.
[07:17] Hugh
    That was a nice way to kill time. It was fun!
[07:23] Cathy
    What was that man trying
    to accomplish with that?
[07:25] Cathy
    Master Jonas!
    There is no need to let it bother you!
[07:28] Mithril
    That's right, Anne! A man like that is—
[07:31] Mithril
    Hey, Anne!
[07:32] Mithril
    Hold on, Anne!
[07:33] Mithril
    Anne, come on!
[07:40] Challe
    A bagworm again?
[07:42] Anne
    What is so funny?
[07:43] Anne
    Is it really so amusing to see
    someone depressed?!
[07:47] Anne
    What? Why would you look
    at someone's face and laugh?
[07:50] Anne
    Well, a scarecrow like me will only be an
    embarrassment no matter what I do anyway!
[07:55] Challe
    Humans never spend their
     whole lives being laughed at.
[08:00] Challe
    For, unlike us, they are always changing.
[08:06] Challe
    You will, in another three years...
[08:08] Challe
    have become startlingly beautiful.
[08:12] Challe
    The color of your hair
    will turn a pale, beautiful gold...
[08:16] Challe
    and your skill at making sugar
    confections will change, too.
[08:21] Anne
    I will hone my skills in making
    sugar confections even more.
[08:24] Anne
    I'll show him how much I can improve!
[08:27] Anne
    But there are some things that
    can't be changed with hard work.
[08:31] Anne
    I don't need transparent lies to comfort me.
[08:34] Challe
    They aren't lies.
[08:36] Challe
    I know.
[08:38] Challe
    When I was born, the first thing
    I saw was a human child...
[08:43] Challe
    One with hair the same color as yours...
[08:45] Challe
    A five-year-old girl.
[08:49] Challe
    I was born because of that child's gaze.
[08:54] Challe
    That girl was Liz...
[08:56] Challe
    Her name was Elizabeth.
[08:59] Challe
    Liz was the daughter of nobles...
[09:01] Challe
    and because of certain circumstances,
    she lived away from society.
[09:05] Challe
    She was young, knew nothing of the world,
[09:07] Challe
    and didn't know of the existence of fairies.
[09:11] Challe
    That's why she mistook me
    for her own older brother.
[09:16] Challe
    She led me back to her
    mansion and gave me shelter.
[09:20] Challe
    Fifteen years passed.
[09:22] Challe
    Liz's hair turned a pale gold...
[09:25] Challe
    her freckles disappeared...
[09:26] Challe
    and she became a beautiful young woman.
[09:29] Challe
    That's why I know.
[09:31] Challe
    You will continue to change, just as Liz did.
[09:34] Anne
    What happened? What happened to Liz?
[09:37] Anne
    Did she stay with you always?
    Why isn't she here now?
[09:43] Challe
    She died.
[09:45] Challe
    She was killed.
[09:46] Challe
    Humans killed her.
[09:52] Anne
    I'm sorry.
[09:56] Challe
    Go to sleep, Scarecrow.
[10:05] Jonas
    That Hugh person paid for our stay
    just as he promised he would.
[10:10] Jonas
    Hey, Anne!
[10:11] Jonas
    Are you listening?
[10:17] Anne; internal
    Challe said he wouldn't be
    friends with a human.
[10:20] Anne; internal
    But in the beginning,
    he had an emotional bond with a human girl.
[10:26] Anne; internal
    He spent the same amount of time
    with her that I had with Mama.
[10:31] Anne; internal
    For Challe, Liz might have been like family.
[10:36] Anne; internal
    And that was stolen from him by human hands.
[10:40] Anne; internal
    Humans caused Challe's heart to freeze over.
[10:46] Anne
    It's cold tonight, isn't it?
[10:48] Challe
    We do not feel the cold as humans do.
[10:56] Anne; internal
    I wish there was magic
    that could melt Challe's heart.
[11:03] Anne; internal
    The promise I made to Challe...
[11:05] Anne; internal
    the sugar confection I promised him...
    I'll make it now.
[11:09] Anne; internal
    A sweet sugar confection...
[11:11] Anne; internal
    I hope it can bring even
    a little warmth to Challe's heart.
[11:23] Anne
    Wh-Why...
[11:27] Anne
    The silver sugar... is gone?
[11:32] Anne
    It can't be. Why is it gone?
[11:34] Challe
    What's happened?
[11:37] Anne
    The silver sugar is gone.
[11:39] Challe
    Gone?
[11:41] Anne
    I have three barrels left.
[11:43] Anne
    But I don't have any silver sugar
    to use in making my entry piece.
[11:47] Jonas
    Anne? Has something happened?
[11:50] Jonas
    Anne!
[11:55] Challe
    Apparently, the silver sugar she needs
    to make her piece has disappeared.
[11:59] Jonas
    What? But the silver sugar
    was in the cargo hold, wasn't it?
[12:02] Jonas
    And it was locked!
[12:04] Jonas
    No one could get in or out, could they?
[12:07] Cathy
    No, it was possible to gain entry.
[12:08] Jonas
    What do you mean by that, Cathy?
[12:11] Cathy
    I saw it. That night when
    we stayed at the doctor's inn.
[12:14] Cathy
    Mithril Lid Pod came out of the window
    of Mistress Anne's cargo hold!
[12:19] Cathy
    In the moonlight, his whole body sparkled.
[12:21] Cathy
    That was him all covered in silver sugar!
[12:24] Anne
    Mithril?
[12:25] Mithril
    What's all this?
[12:27] Mithril
    You sure are being loud.
[12:29] Jonas
    Mithril. Come down here.
[12:31] Mithril
    Hey! I don't serve you!
[12:35] Mithril
    And don't shorten my name!
[12:37] Mithril
    I am—
[12:37] Jonas
    Come down here!
[12:39] Mithril
    Wh-What is it?
[12:41] Jonas
    Anne's silver sugar has disappeared.
[12:43] Jonas
    Mithril, you stole it, didn't you?
[12:46] Mithril
    What?
[12:47] Jonas
    Cathy saw you.
[12:49] Mithril
    Saw me? Sh-She's lying!
[12:51] Mithril
    Hey, Anne. I wasn't the one who stole it.
[12:54] Mithril
    Cathy's the liar here!
[12:55] Jonas
    What would Cathy gain by lying?
[12:58] Mithril
    Blasted human, be quiet!
[13:00] Mithril
    Anne, you aren't suspicious
    of me, too, are you?
[13:04] Mithril
    It wasn't me. I swear to you, it wasn't me!
[13:07] Anne
    I...
[13:09] Mithril
    Anne...
[13:11] Mithril
    You do suspect me.
[13:13] Mithril
    You don't believe me, do you, Anne?
[13:16] Anne
    I want to believe you.
[13:18] Mithril
    But you don't, do you?!
[13:20] Mithril
    Fine, then. If you're going to
    look at me like that, then...
[13:23] Mithril
    I'll just disappear from your sight, Anne!
[13:25] Anne
    Mithril!
[13:26] Anne
    Wait!
[13:32] Anne
    I can't participate in
    this year's exhibition like this.
[13:38] Jonas
    I know, Anne!
[13:40] Jonas
    If you only need enough for one piece,
[13:42] Jonas
    then all you need to do
    is make that much silver sugar!
[13:45] Anne
    That's unrealistic. I don't have the
     sugar apples needed to make it.
[13:49] Jonas
    Don't worry!
[13:50] Anne
    What?
[13:51] Jonas
    There are sugar apples!
[13:54] Jonas; voice
    I heard about it at a gathering
    of the Radcliffe Workshop school.
[13:57] Jonas; voice
    They say that there's a grove of
    sugar apple trees on the Bloody Highway!
[14:01] Jonas; voice
    It takes three days to refine silver sugar.
[14:04] Jonas; voice
    But if you use the silver sugar
    you already have for your piece,
[14:07] Jonas; voice
    you'll be able to make it in time!
[14:14] Anne
    Sugar apples!
[14:17] Anne
    There are five days
    left until the exhibition.
[14:20] Anne
    Lewiston isn't far from the next fortshelter.
[14:23] Anne
    With these...
[14:24] Jonas
    It will be all right, Anne.
[14:27] Jonas
    I'm a bit of a sugar artisan,
    too. I'll help you.
[14:31] Anne
    Thank you, Jonas! Let's get started!
[15:06] Anne
    Here.
[15:08] Anne
    Where is Mithril?
[15:10] Challe
    Disappeared.
[15:11] Anne
    Where has he gone?
[15:13] Challe
    Was it really him?
    Was it really Mithril who stole it?
[15:17] Anne
    I don't know.
[15:19] Anne
    The truth is, I don't care
    who stole the silver sugar.
[15:23] Anne
    In any case, I will make sure
    my work is finished in time.
[15:26] Anne
    I told you, didn't I?
[15:27] Anne
    I absolutely must enter
    this year's exhibition.
[15:31] Anne
    I'll go back to work.
[15:36] Anne; internal
    The piece I am submitting
    for the exhibition...
[15:38] Anne; internal
    will be a sugar confection
    for a celebration...
[15:41] Anne; internal
    large, bright, and beautiful.
[15:45] Anne; internal
    Mama...
[15:47] (Flashback) Emma
    This is the wealth Mama has made.
[15:50] (Flashback) Emma
    It can't be given to anyone,
[15:52] (Flashback) Emma
    and it mustn't be imitated.
[15:57] Hugh
    It's as though you created this in imitation
    of something someone else had made.
[16:02] Hugh
    You're simply aping their style.
[16:04] Anne; internal
    Then, what should I make? And how?
[16:08] Anne; internal
    I just don't know.
[16:16] Jonas
    If you'd like, please use this barrel
    to put your silver sugar in!
[16:20] Jonas
    It's a first-rate article
    that guards against humidity.
[16:22] Anne
    But I already have two empty barrels.
[16:25] Jonas
    Wow! So, you've decided
    what you're going to make?
[16:28] Jonas
    Anne, you really are amazing. I can tell.
[16:31] Jonas
    I'm certain that you'll be able
    to create a wonderful piece!
[16:33] Anne
    I hope so, but...
[16:35] Jonas
    I expect a lot of you.
[16:37] Anne
    What?
[16:38] Anne
    Wh-What are you doing?
[16:40] Jonas
    I love you.
[16:42] Anne
    Don't!
[16:45] Jonas
    Why, Anne?
[16:46] Anne
    Jonas, I don't love you!
[16:49] Jonas
    But I love you!
[16:51] Anne
    That's how you feel, Jonas!
    It isn't how I feel!
[16:55] Jonas
    I see.
[16:57] Jonas
    I had hoped that you would
    fall in love with me, but...
[17:02] Anne
    I-I'm sorry. I...
[17:04] Jonas
    I'm sorry, Anne.
[17:09] Cathy
    Mistress Anne, I will give you
    one piece of advice.
[17:13] Anne
    What is this, all of a sudden?
[17:15] Cathy
    Master Jonas might propose to you,
    or say he loves you,
[17:18] Cathy
    but don't let it go to your head!
[17:20] Anne
    What?
[17:21] Cathy
    Master Jonas would never actually
    fall in love with someone like you!
[17:25] Anne
    Cathy...
[17:26] Anne
    Could it be that you...
[17:28] Anne
    Are you in love with Jonas?
[17:30] Cathy
    Th...
[17:31] Cathy
    Th-Th-Th...
[17:32] Cathy
    That's completely absurd!
[17:34] Anne
    I see! So that's what's going on!
[17:37] Anne
    It's so lovely when fairies
    and humans get together, isn't it?
[17:42] Cathy
    Y-You are...
[17:43] Cathy
    such an idiot!
[17:47] Anne; internal
    The person Cathy is in love
    with is holding her wing.
[17:51] Anne; internal
    Compared to that...
[17:55] Anne; internal
    Love between a fairy and a human.
[17:58] Anne; internal
    I wonder what was between Challe and Liz.
[18:02] Anne; internal
    What's this? My chest feels tight.
[18:06] Anne
    It's something that has
    nothing to do with me.
[18:10] Anne; internal
    The reason Challe is with me...
[18:13] Anne; internal
    is because I hold his wing.
[18:16] Anne; internal
    And when we reach Lewiston,
    that will end too.
[18:23] Anne
    It's done!
[18:27] Anne; internal
    It should be perfect, and yet...
[18:31] (Flashback) Hugh
    You're simply aping their style.
[18:33] Anne; internal
    No. The technique is perfect.
[18:36] Anne; internal
    It will be all right.
[18:38] Anne; internal
    I'm sure it will be all right!
[18:43] Challe
    Have you finished?
[18:44] Anne
    It's drying now.
[18:46] Anne
    I'll grind what's left of
    the silver sugar using the mortar,
[18:49] Anne
    and if we set out tomorrow,
[18:50] Anne
    we'll be able to make it to Lewiston
    the day before the exhibition.
[18:54] Challe
    It was strange.
[18:57] Challe
    When I first met you at the fairy market,
[19:00] Challe
    you smelled of the sweetness of silver sugar.
[19:03] Challe
    I couldn't understand why. It was strange.
[19:05] Anne
    Do I? I wonder if the scent
    has seeped into my dress.
[19:10] Challe
    Your fingers.
[19:11] Anne
    What?
[19:12] Challe
    Your fingers carry a sweet scent.
[19:16] Anne
    No, they don't.
[19:17] Challe
    I can tell.
[19:19] Anne
    Really?
[19:26] Anne
    I see.
[19:28] Jonas
    Anne!
[19:30] Jonas
    Anne! You're amazing, Anne!
[19:32] Jonas
    You finished your piece!
[19:34] Jonas
    I've never seen such a large
    piece as delicate as that!
[19:38] Jonas
    You'll get the royal medal, and no mistake!
[19:40] Anne
    Thank you!
[19:41] Anne
    This is all possible because you told me
    about the sugar apples, Jonas!
[19:44] Jonas
    I'm the one who should be thanking you!
[19:49] Anne
    What are you doing at my wagon, Jonas?
[19:51] Jonas
    I thought we should set off.
[19:54] Anne
    You're being too hasty.
    The silver sugar isn't done yet.
[19:58] Anne
    And that horse isn't mine...
[20:02] Jonas
    It's not a problem!
    My horse runs faster than yours.
[20:06] Anne
    Jonas?
[20:09] Jonas
    If you'd fallen in love
    with me and married me,
[20:12] Jonas
    then I wouldn't have had
    to do something like this.
[20:14] Jonas
    It's all your fault.
[20:15] Challe
    What are you trying to do?
[20:17] Cathy
    This is why I told you
    not to let it go to your head!
[20:21] Anne
    Ow! What?
[20:22] Anne
    What is this?
[20:24] Anne
    It's disgusting!
[20:32] Anne
    Challe, what is all this?
[20:34] Challe
    Those two lured them here...
[20:36] Challe
    so that they could steal
    your sugar confection.
[20:38] Anne
    That can't be!
[20:40] Jonas
    Bye-bye, Anne!
[20:42] Anne
    Challe, go after Jonas!
[20:44] Challe
    If I leave this spot,
    you will become food for the wolves!
[20:48] Anne
    That doesn't matter! Please, go!
[20:49] Anne
    Challe! I'm begging you!
[20:51] Anne
    Please bring my sugar confection back!
[20:53] Challe
    I refuse!
[20:54] Anne
    Please! Challe!
[20:56] Anne
    Please bring my sugar confection back!

    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
[22:08] ---
    I just know it will make you smile

    That's why I'm able to say I'm not giving up
