[01:05] Roderich
    All right, everyone! Get to work!
[01:08] G
    Yeah!
[01:15] Erwin
    Your magic is so useful, Well.
[01:18] Erwin
    You flattened everything in an instant.
[01:22] G
    Man, I can't believe the count's magic
    is actually being used for development.
[01:31] Well
    I'll be heading back now, Roderich.
[01:34] R
    One moment, milord.
[01:37] R
    Can you take care of that area next?
[02:02] Well
    I'm back.
[02:04] Iina/Louise/Wilma
    Welcome home!
[02:07] Elise
    Welcome home.
[02:09] W
    Thanks, Elise.
[02:17] W
    Hup.
[02:20] E
    Here you go.
[02:22] W
    Thank you.
[02:25] E
    You seem tired.
[02:28] W
    Yeah. He ran me into the ground again today.
[02:33] Iina
    Your relationship with him is really topsy-turvy.
[02:36] Louise
    It's like Roderich's your boss.
[02:40] Wilma
    Like you're his slave, Lord Well.
[02:43] W
    To be fair, no matter how far I go,
[02:46] W
    I'm a white-collar office worker at heart.
[02:50] E
    "White-collar"?
[02:55] W
    Anyway, I'm gonna go get changed.
[03:12] W
    It's not so easy to change, huh?
[03:16] W
    Even though it was ten years ago...
[03:19] W
    that I was an office worker.
[03:25] Shingo
    I'm home.

    No! Gotta wake up!

    Now that I've finally seen my successor wed,
[05:37] Artur
    I can retire without worry.
[05:37] W
    But they're speaking Japanese.
[05:40] Kurt
    Father, please stop joking.
[05:48] W
    Boy, this is one realistic dream.
[05:53] W
    Okay.
[05:55] W
    time to go back to my pork ribs.
[06:02] A
    What do you think you're doing?
[06:05] A
    Wake up!
[06:09] A
    Come, you must greet everyone.
[06:14] W
    But my pork ribs...
[06:16] A
    Sorry to have kept you waiting.
[06:18] A
    This is my youngest son.
[06:22] W
    Is this real life?
[06:24] A
    What are you saying?
[06:27] A
    Now, introduce yourself. You can do that, yes?
[06:30] W
    Intro... Introduce myself?!
[06:36] W
    U-Uh...
[06:42] W
    Er...
[06:44] A
    What's wrong?
[06:48] Erich
    It's good to finally see you all again.
[06:51] G
    Oh, Erich?
[06:53] G
    How you've grown.
[06:55] E
    We're very grateful that you took
    the time to come all the way
[06:59] E
    for my eldest brother Kurt's wedding.
[07:03] E
    Allow my younger brother,
    Wendelin von Benno Baumeister,
[07:07] E
    and I to express our most profound thanks.
[07:11] W
    Was that my name?
[07:13] Amalie
    Wendelin?
[07:15] Amalie
    Can I call you Well, then?
[07:19] W
    Well? Y-Yes, of course.
[07:24] E
    Here.
[07:26] W
    Thanks.
[07:27] E
    Did your mind go blank when you
     found yourself surrounded by adults?
[07:31] W
    Uh, what's happening today?
[07:35] E
    Ah, I suppose it's a little
    complicated for a five-year-old.
[07:38] E
    Today is Brother Kurt's wedding.
[07:42] E
    The bride is Amalie, the second
    daughter of Sir Mainbach.
[07:47] E
    Father was having trouble
     finding a partner for him.
[07:51] E
    He must be relieved that a noble's
    daughter has married into the family.
[07:55] W
    A noble?
[08:02] W
    Hey, if a noble's daughter
    is marrying into our family,
[08:06] W
    are we by any chance nobles, too?
[08:10] E
    "By any chance"? I suppose
    I can see why you'd be doubtful.
[08:14] E
    But we Baumeisters are genuine nobility, too.
[08:22] W
    Nobility...
[08:26] G
    One more time!
[08:28] W
    Who could ever see this coming?
SIGN    From Duke Bleichröder
[08:40] W
    But I can understand the language, at least.
[08:44] W
    If we can throw such a lavish ceremony,
[08:47] W
    we must rank pretty high up.
[08:52] W
    And if I'm the third son of this family,
[08:55] W
    I don't have to worry about starving!
[09:07] W
    Noble food is so yummy!
[09:41] W
    This is so dry...
[09:49] W
    And this soup is basically just water.
[10:07] A
    What's wrong, Wendelin?
[10:09] W
    Nothing.
[10:12] A
    You can't have more soup, okay?
[10:15] W
    Um, where's Brother Erich?
[10:18] Johanna
    He left earlier, saying he was going fishing.
[10:22] E
    "We must rank pretty high up"?
[10:25] E
    Was that some kind of joke?
[10:27] W
    But we threw such a glittering
    party last night.
[10:31] E
    Well, yeah.
[10:32] E
    We can't be cheapskates with invited guests,
     even as poor as we are.
[10:38] W
    Poor?
[10:39] E
    You could say it was a show of noble pride.
[10:54] W
    Th-Then what about the noble fo—I mean, dinner?
[10:59] E
    A special menu for the wedding, of course.
[11:03] E
    But we're back to brown bread
    and light soup starting today.
[11:06] W
    No way...
[11:09] W
    But even if we're poor, we're still nobility.
[11:11] W
    There's Brother Kurt, Brother Erich...
[11:14] W
    And I'm the third son,
    so I should get some benefits, at least.
[11:18] E
    Oh, how did the hunt go, Brother Helmut?
[11:21] Helmut
    No good.
[11:23] Helmut
    I couldn't catch a thing.
[11:26] W
    Brother Helmut?
[11:28] W
    Then I'm the...
[11:30] Paul
    Horohoro really are hard to shoot down.
[11:33] E
    Even for you, Brother Paul?
[11:35] W
    Brother Paul?
[11:37] Hermann
    The horohoro served at the wedding was so good.
[11:41] Paul
    Yeah, I saw you eating
    one whole, Brother Hermann.
[11:45] W
    Brother Hermann?!
[11:49] E
    Speaking of the wedding,
    Walter and Karl didn't show up.
[11:52] Herm
    It's understandable.
    Even if they are our brothers...
[11:56] W
    Brothers?
[11:57] E
    Did you forget them?
[11:59] E
    They're your half-brothers.
[12:02] W
    Brother Walter and Brother Karl?
[12:06] W
    Which means... We're poor nobles, and I'm...
[12:08] W
    The 8th son? Are you kidding me?!

[13:44] W
    So this is the kingdom I live in.
SIGN    Capital
     Stadtburg
[13:48] W
    Uh, this is the capital, Stadtburg,
[13:51] W
    and its population is one million,
    the highest in the kingdom.
[13:55] W
    South of it is the Dukedom of Bleichröder,
SIGN    Dukedom of
     Bleichröder
SIGN    Breichburg
SIGN    Minor Lords
     Mixed Domain
[14:01] W
    where the biggest mercantile center
    in the south, Breichburg, is.
[14:06] W
    Its population is two hundred thousand.
[14:09] W
    And when you go even farther south
SIGN    Great Rieg Mountains
[14:13] W
    and cross this huge mountain range,
[14:17] W
    you find the back country I am
    in now, the Baumeister Knightdom.
[14:28] W
    Population... eight hundred.
[14:34] W
    I'm the eighth son of a poor noble
     family that lives out in the sticks.
[14:41] W
    My life...
[14:45] W
    is so screwed!
[14:47] E
    We'll be going, then.
[14:52] J
    Please take care of yourself.
[14:56] E
    I will. You take care too, Mother.
[14:59] W
    Hey, where are you all going?
[15:02] E
    Huh? Didn't we tell you?
[15:04] E
    We agreed to leave once
    Brother Kurt got married.
[15:10] Hel
    You can stay since you're just a kid,
[15:13] Hel
    but we've long since reached adulthood.
[15:16] W
    But you could inherit the lands here!
[15:19] P
    You think poor nobles like us could
    afford to divide up our land?
[15:23] P
    It's all going to Brother Kurt.
[15:26] Hel
    We're giving up our succession rights for
    a monetary settlement and leaving home.
[15:31] Hel
    That very moment, we cease to be nobles.
[15:34] W
    Cease to be nobles?
[15:37] W
    Then how are we supposed to live?
[15:40] Hel
    Well, Brother Hermann is the second son,
[15:43] Hel
    so he married into the branch family,
     in case anything happened to Brother Kurt.
[15:48] Hel
    But we'll have to find our own
    path in life at the capital.
[15:52] P
    We can learn to read and write, and take
    exams to be soldiers or lower management,
[15:57] P
    or look to be adventurers.
[15:59] P
    It all comes down to our skills.
[16:05] E
    If you keep goofing off,
    you'll regret it later, okay?
[16:15] J
    Goodbye.
[16:16] Bro
    Bye!
[16:18] J
    Take care!
