[03:55] Louise     Magic users are rare enough as is, [03:57] ---     but I've heard his magic power is already     on par with top-class adventurers. [04:02] Er     I heard that the magic instructor decided      there was nothing more he could teach him, [04:07] ---     and gave up on instructing him. [04:10] Er     If you party up with that guy,      you're set for life. [04:14] Er     You know how it goes, right? [04:15] Er     Most of the parties from the     Academy continue to stay together [04:19] ---     even after they graduate     and become adventurers. [04:23] Iina     Looks like everyone's thinking the same thing.

[04:30] Louise     Hey! You wrote my name on it! [04:33] Er     Listen, that guy's currently appraising us. [04:38] Er     He's trying to decide if we're     worthy of a great mage like him. [04:42] Louise     Oh! So that's why he's always alone! [04:46] Iina     Huh? You really think so? [04:49] Er     That's why we do this. [04:51] Er     If you two, the top martial artist and     spearwoman, join me, the top swordsman, [04:57] ---     don't you think even he might recognize us? [05:03] ---     Hey! [05:06] Louise     It's not a bad idea. [05:08] Iina     Huh? You're kidding.     You plan to form a party with him? [05:11] Er     I'm the fifth son of the     Arnim Knightdom, Erwin von Arnim. [05:16] Er     You can call me "Er." [05:19] Louise     I'm Louise. This is Iina, my friend     since childhood. Nice to meet you! [05:24] Iina     Huh? [05:26] Well     Muster up your courage... [05:28] Well     Blend into the class more! [05:31] Well     U-Um, hey... [05:32] Well     This is called sansho pepper.     If you'd like some... [05:38] Josef     I see. So you guys are after the same thing. [05:41] Josef     Too bad, though, because he's going     to recognize us, the axe trio! [05:54] Well     They're laughing and having so much fun... [05:57] Well     I probably shouldn't bother right now. [06:00] Sekurt     Now, I'm sure some of you here aren't     receiving a stipend from your family [06:05] ---     and have to work part-time     to earn your living. [06:09] Well     That's me. [06:10] Sekurt     Our academy recommends     hunting in such cases, [06:14] ---     but since it's dangerous to hunt alone,     make sure you go in groups if you do. [06:20] Well     In groups? [06:26] Well     There's no room for me anywhere. [06:28] Louise     Hey, what do you think? [06:30] Louise     Should we say something to Baumeister? [06:32] Er     No, let's be careful about this. [06:34] Er     If we're too hasty and make a mistake that     disappoints him, it will all be for naught. [06:41] Iina     Though... I notice he's not speaking to anyone. [06:46] Er     That's it! This is a     challenge from Baumeister! [06:51] Louise     Huh?! What do you mean?! [06:53] Er     This is what he's trying to say: [06:55] Er     "You should have no trouble bringing in more     prey as a group than I could hunting alone." [07:03] Louise     So if a group brings back less prey than him... [07:06] Er     Then that group will removed     from his list of candidates. [07:18] Staff     Here you go. [07:26] Louise     We should be okay with this much. [07:29] Er     Still, you two really are the     daughters of great masters. [07:33] Er     Have you both been training with     your families since you were little? [07:37] Iina     Yeah. [07:40] Louise     B-But you were awesome with your sword, too! [07:43] Er     Well, I come from a poor knightdom, [07:47] Er     so I've been training with the sword     like crazy ever since I was a kid. [07:52] Well     Oh, excuse me. Coming through. [07:55] Er     Huh? Where's his prey? [07:59] Staff     Oh, a magic bag, huh? [08:02] Staff     Where did you get one of those? [08:03] Well     Oh, my master left it to me. [08:06] Well     Hup! [08:13] ---     Wh-Whoa... Wait a... [08:18] Josef     Hmph. This is dumb. [08:20] Josef     I'm out. [08:22] Iina     Huh? [08:22] Josef     He lives in a whole different world. [08:24] Josef     With this much difference     between our skill levels, [08:26] ---     it'll be impossible to earn his recognition. [08:29] Josef     It's not worth the effort. [08:32] Josef     You all get it too, right? [08:34] Josef     If you're not the eldest son, [08:36] ---     it's wiser to not bother dreaming of more. [08:46] Staff     This is a big help!     They're all precious bounties. [08:49] Staff     I hope you'll come again. [08:50] Well     Sure! [08:57] Well     If you're interested, let's grab a bite     to eat together with this mo— [09:00] Well     ...ney? [09:03] Er     My brother once said something similar. [09:08] Er     He said that no matter how hard     I trained with the sword, [09:10] ---     a fifth son will never inherit. [09:13] Er     That I was just wasting my effort. [09:16] Iina     It was the same for Louise and me. [09:19] Iina     No matter how strong we were, [09:20] ---     we couldn't inherit the school     because we weren't eldest sons. [09:24] Er     It's the same everywhere, huh? [09:26] Louise     It would be one thing if that were all it was. [09:30] Louise     The truth is, both of us were born with     a bit more magic power than most people. [09:35] Louise     I mean, not that it's enough     just that we can use magic, [09:39] Louise     but if we use that magic to     enhance our physical abilities... [09:45] Er     Then a normal person stands no chance, huh? [09:48] Louise     Before I knew it, I was stronger     than my father and brother, [09:52] Louise     and at some point, they began avoiding me. [09:56] Louise     So I ended up having to train in secret. [10:02] Iina     I can't accept this! [10:03] Iina     Why on earth does being born later     mean we're not allowed to dream?! [10:08] Iina     That's just wrong, isn't it?! [10:11] Iina     I'm not giving up. [10:14] Iina     At this point, let's hunt lots of big game     and make sure Baumeister recognizes us! [10:23] Er     If you're after big game,     this is the place! Deep in the forest! [10:27] Louise     The teacher told us we weren't allowed     to go in here, but we have no choice! [10:31] Iina     We do have a choice. [10:33] Iina     Come on, let's turn back. [10:37] Iina     They're here. [10:39] Iina     Wolves. [10:40] Iina     Extra-large ones, at that. [11:02] Well     Wolves, and... those are... people? [11:08] Well     If those are my classmates, maybe     we can become friends if I save them! [11:27] Er     Damn it! How many of them are there?! [11:30] Louise     I'm sorry. We should have listened to Iina. [11:34] Iina     Louise, above you! [11:40] Louise     Er! [11:54] Iina     What in the world... [11:56] Well     Are you okay? [12:06] Three     We're sorry. [12:08] Well     It's fine. I mean, we're classmates, after all. [12:12] Er     We were trying to get you to recognize us, [12:14] ---     but we just made trouble for you. [12:17] Well     Huh? [12:18] ---     Me? [12:19] Louise     After seeing that magic you used, though, [12:22] Louise     I realized we really do     live in different worlds. [12:27] Louise     So... [12:28] Well     H-Hey... [12:30] Louise     I'm giving up on forming a party with you now. [12:34] Well     With me?! [12:35] Iina     We haven't given up on everything, though. [12:38] Iina     We'll find some other way     to pave a brighter future. [12:42] Well     Uh, h-h-hang on a second... [12:45] Sekurt     So this is where you— [12:48] Sekurt     What happened? [12:49] Er     Oh, it's just a scratch. [12:52] Er     Anyway, did you need us for something? [12:54] Sekurt     Oh... [12:55] Sekurt     Rejoice! All the students     of our scholarship class [12:59] ---     have been invited to a garden party     hosted by the Duke of Bleichröder! [13:04] Iina     A chance to meet the Duke     of Bleichröder in person! [13:08] Er     He's one of the nobles currently competing     for the top in the Kingdom of Helmut. [13:13] Louise     If he takes a liking to us, it could     open up the path to becoming a retainer! [13:17] Josef     What are you all excited about? [13:19] Josef     We're obviously only being invited      because the Duke of Bleichröder [13:23] ---     wants to lay claim to our     great mage, Baumeister. [13:30] Josef     We're just extras. [13:33] TrioA     Then there's no way he's going     to take an interest in us. [13:36] TrioB     What? Then there's no point     in getting excited over this. [13:40] Students     Huh? [13:41] Students     Really? [13:42] Students     That's all? [13:42] Students     That's disappointing. [13:46] Louise     All right! Let's go buy outfits     for the garden party together! [13:50] El     Formal wear, huh? [13:52] El     That'll cost us a lot, but it is for our future. [13:56] Josef     Oh, come on. Are you all still     getting your hopes up? [14:01] Iina     What's wrong with that? [14:04] Iina     There's still some chance, right? [14:07] Louise     Hey, maybe he'll speak to     us if we go in showy outfits! [14:11] Er     You can do that, Louise. [14:13] Er     I'm going in something normal. [14:15] Louise     Why?! [14:16] Louise     Let's all go in something showy! [14:18] Iina     Sorry, I can't do that. [14:20] Louise     What?! SIGN    Party Registration Form SIGN    Name SIGN    Specialty SIGN    Member Name SIGN    Specialty [14:36] Er     Oh, there he is! [14:37] Er     Look, over there! [14:39] Iina     Duke Bleichröder... [14:42] Well     That's Duke Bleichröder? [14:58] Louise     He's coming! He's coming! He's coming! [15:00] Louise     He's coming this way, Iina! [15:01] Iina     Yeah. [15:03] Iina     U-Um, I... [15:11] Bleichröder     A pleasure to meet you. [15:12] Bleichröder     I am Amadeus Freytag von Bleichröder. [15:19] Well     I'm Wendelin von Benno Baumeister. [15:23] Bleichröder     My, it's good to see someone     from the Baumeisters, [15:26] ---     our vassals, visiting us here in Breichburg. [15:30] Bleichröder     The Baumeisters so rarely     participate in gatherings like this. [15:37] Well     Well, as you know, our family's     financial affairs are strained. [15:42] Bleichröder     There is some expense involved     in crossing those mountains. [15:45] Bleichröder     But some of my other vassals complain that [15:48] ---     it's rude for them to refuse     their lord's invitation. [15:53] Well     My apologies. [15:55] Bleichröder     Well, enough about that. [15:57] Bleichröder     The truth is, I was hoping to speak with you. [16:01] Bleichröder     Could I have a bit of your time? [16:05] Well     Very well. [16:07] Bleichröder     Then let's go over here. [16:09] Well     Excuse me! [16:11] Well     Um, there are some people     I'd like to bring with me. [16:15] Well     These three. [16:17] Well     They're my party members. [16:37] Bleichröder     This is my court magician. [16:43] Brantag     Brantag Ringstat. [16:46] Brantag     Nice to meet you. [16:47] Bleichröder     He was also the teacher to my former     court magician, Alfred Rainford. [16:56] Brantag     Well, truth be told, [16:58] ---     Alfred died in the Enchanted Forest near      your family's lands an awfully long time ago. [17:05] Brantag     It seems he later became a Whispering Dead. [17:08] Brantag     But I was still his master. [17:10] Brantag     I always kept an eye on the     presence of my disciple. [17:14] Bleichröder     Brantag is a talented user of tracking magic. [17:17] Bleichröder     He's able to track the magic power of anyone     he's met in person over great distances. [17:23] Brantag     It was seven years ago. [17:24] Brantag     That was when Alfred's presence     suddenly disappeared. [17:28] Brantag     He was a Whispering Dead, [17:30] Brantag     so I thought perhaps he had     fulfilled his wish and passed on, [17:34] Brantag     but then I remembered that     while he was alive he told me, [17:37] ---     "I want to meet someone to whom I can     pass on all the magic I've learned." [17:41] Brantag     So I thought it over and     realized that if that was [17:44] ---     the wish he had clung to,     then it was never coming true. [17:48] Brantag     He had a greater magic capacity     than even me, his master, [17:52] ---     and he was counted amongst the top     five magicians on this continent. [17:56] Brantag     There was no way he would ever find a     magician he could recognize as his disciple. [18:04] Brantag     Yet now, here is a man with     incredible magic power [18:08] ---     from the very same region where     his presence disappeared. [18:11] Brantag     A man carrying his magic bag, no less. [18:17] Bleichröder     Pardon me, but what are     the chances he stole it? [18:20] Brantag     Not possible. [18:22] Brantag     No one could use that magic bag unless     Alfred himself had transferred ownership. [18:30] Brantag     You're it, aren't you? [18:32] Brantag     You're Alfred's disciple. [18:35] Well     Yes. [18:37] Brantag     Then there's one thing I'd like to ask you. [18:41] Brantag     What were his final moments like? [18:55] Well     I purged my master before     he could become a zombie. [19:00] Brantag     Damn. What a thing to force upon a child... [19:08] Brantag     Thank you. [19:09] Brantag     Because of you, [19:11] Brantag     he was able to pass on peacefully. [19:19] Well     No, I... [19:24] Well     Oh, right. [19:25] Well     This bag that my master carried      contains the supplies [19:28] ---     meant for the 2,000-man expedition      to the Enchanted Forest. [19:34] Well     I've been meaning to return     it for a while now. [19:39] Iina     We didn't know anything about him. [19:43] Er     He did mention that he had lived by himself     to avoid a struggle over succession. [19:48] Louise     That's the same as us... [19:52] Louise     Yet we said that he lived in another world. [19:56] Well     Hey! [20:01] Well     Sorry to keep you all waiting. [20:03] Well     It took more time than I thought     to hand over those supplies. [20:06] Iina     Hey, what you said about us being a party... [20:11] Well     Yeah, sorry to spring that on you. I just— [20:15] Iina     We don't deserve to be in a party with you! [20:19] Er     We were all planning to use you. [20:23] Er     To make you a tool to     improve our own lives. [20:28] Well     Oh, but that kind of goes both ways. [20:31] Er     Huh? [20:33] Well     I dragged you all along without warning     because I didn't want to go anywhere [20:37] ---     alone with an old guy of his standing. [20:39] Three     Huh?! [20:42] Iina     Then when you said we were a party... [20:44] Well     Oh, no, no! [20:46] Well     I really did want to be in     a party with you three! [20:51] Iina     But why us? [20:53] Well     Well, because it seems like     I'd have fun with you three, [20:59] ---     even when things get tough. [21:01] Iina     Huh? [21:03] Well     Well, long ago, my master told me that I have [21:06] ---     what it takes to enjoy what     the wide world has to offer. [21:10] Well     So I thought it would be good to have     friends who could enjoy it with me. [21:15] Er     Huh? That's your reason? [21:18] Well     Sorry. That's my reason. [21:28] Er     I can't believe that's what     you'd recognize us for. [21:30] Iina     We nearly got ourselves eaten by wolves! [21:34] Louise     Jeez! This is all your fault, Well! [21:38] Well     Hey, you just called me "Well"... [21:41] Bleichröder     I'm sorry, I forgot something very important. [21:45] Well     Yes? [21:46] Bleichröder     The reward for returning those supplies     meant for 2,000 men is 20% of their value, [21:51] Bleichröder     so I'll be sending you 1,000 gold coins later. [21:55] Three     1,000 gold coins?! [21:57] Well     Uh, one gold coin is worth     roughly one million yen, [22:01] ---     so a thousand is... a billion yen or so... [22:05] Well     What?! [22:07] Brantag     Also, Alfred had his own estate. [22:10] Brantag     We've made arrangements for you to inherit it. [22:13] Well     Master's... estate? [22:24] Well     This is too big for a     student living on his own. [22:32] Well     I wonder if anyone will share it with me...
