[00:03] Iina
    Hey, are you sure we should be
[00:06] Iina
    attending the wedding ceremony with you?
SIGN    Capital Stadtburg
[00:09] Well
    Brother Erich said I should
    bring my friends if I had any.
[00:12] Well
    Though I'm just glad the academy
    is out for summer break right now.
[00:15] Louise
    Ta-da!
[00:17] Louise
    When I show up in this dress that I picked out,
[00:20] Louise
    I'm sure all the nobles will want to employ me!
[00:24] Louise
    Because it's so showy!
[00:29] Iina
    Are there any nobles coming
    to your brother's wedding?
[00:33] Louise
    Hey.
[00:34] Well
    He's marrying into the Brandt family,
    which I've heard is a knightdom,
[00:37] Well
    so yeah, there should be at least some.
[00:39] Louise
    Onward I go on the path
    to becoming a retainer!
[00:48] Louise
    Oh, sorry...
[00:49] Louise
    Huh?
[00:51] Louise
    Er?
[00:53] Er
    I don't trust it.
[00:55] Er
    A ship flying in the sky?
[00:59] Brantag
    Don't worry, little Er.
[01:06] Brantag
    A magic airship won't fall out of the sky.
[01:10] Iina
    I thought only your friends
    were invited to come?
[01:13] Well
    Yeah, Brantag is heading to the capital
    to report the status of his domain,
[01:18] Well
    so he's just guiding us
    since it's on the way for him.
[01:21] Iina
    Oh?
[01:22] ---
    Is that a guidebook for the capital?
[01:24] Well
    Yeah. To be honest, there's something
     I've always wanted.
[01:32] Er
    I see... It won't fall out of the sky, huh?
[01:35] Brantag
    Well, I wouldn't say it's impossible.
[01:42] Brantag
    I mean, if it gets attacked
    by a huge dragon,
[01:45] Brantag
    it's bound to fall, y'know?
[01:55] Well
    True, it would probably fall in that case.

[03:31] Passenger
    Hey, what's going on?!
[03:33] Passenger
    I thought this magic airship's flight path
    was avoiding the lands where monsters live?
[03:36] Vicecaptain
    Yes, but what you see outside right now is
    an undead version of an ancient dragon,
[03:40] ---
    so that logic doesn't apply here.
[03:42] Passenger
    Enough excuses! Just do something about it!
[03:44] Passenger
    Do want us to die?!
[03:45] Vicecaptain
    Everyone, please rest easy!
[03:49] Vicecaptain
    The powerful mage, Brantag Ringstat,
    will be dealing with it right away!
[03:58] Brantag
    I can't beat that thing.
[04:00] ---
    What?!
[04:01] Brantag
    That's an undead.
[04:03] Brantag
    The only way to defeat it is
    by purging it with holy magic.
[04:06] Brantag
    But I can't use holy magic.
[04:09] Captain
    Then this ship is...
[04:12] Brantag
    Don't worry. You have another mage on board.
[04:19] Well
    Huh?! Wait, I can't do it!
[04:21] Well
    I mean, th-th-that's—
[04:24] Brantag
    Your master would have taken
    care of it with a smile.
[04:32] Brantag
    Listen up. I'll protect the ship.
[04:34] Brantag
    The moment you leap off and take flight,
[04:36] ---
    waste no time purging it
    with your holy magic.
[04:40] Brantag
    Okay, boy, brace yourself.
[04:42] Brantag
    Here we go.
[04:46] Brantag
    Oh, wait a second.
[04:48] Brantag
    One more thing.
[05:07] Well
    A magic barrier!
[05:10] Brantag
    I told you I'd protect it, didn't I,
     my disciple's disciple?
[05:13] Well
    I should have expected that
    from my master's master.
[05:15] Well
    Now...
[05:20] Well
    I can focus on this moving puppet.
[05:36] Er
    That's it, Well!
[05:36] Iina
    You've got it!
[05:38] Louise
    Don't lose!
[05:38] Brantag
    Settle down, you three. It's dangerous!
[05:48] Well
    I need more.
[05:49] Well
    More, more...
[05:51] Well
    Even brighter holy light!
[05:57] Well
    Now, I hope this...
[06:02] ---
    finishes it!
[06:15] Three
    Go!
[06:16] Brantag
    Hey, you three!
[06:52] Three
    Yeah!
[06:56] Brantag
    Hey, boy!
[06:58] Brantag
    I told you to use your bag
    to collect those bones!
[07:06] Well
    Huh?
[07:07] Well
    Oh, shoot.
[07:34] Three
    Cheers!
[07:41] Brantag
    Looks like we'll make it to the capital safely.
[07:43] Well
    I'm glad.
[07:44] Well
    I've been wanting to do some shopping.
[07:46] Aruterio
    It might prove difficult to go shopping.
[07:49] Brantag
    Hey, Aruterio. You were aboard this ship, too?
[07:53] Aruterio
    Yeah. I enjoyed watching from
    afar as you defeated that dragon.
[07:56] Brantag
    Sheesh...
[07:58] Brantag
    Oh, this is one of my partners from
    back when I was still an adventurer.
[08:02] Well
    Huh? You were members of the same party?
[08:04] Brantag
    He's the head of a huge merchant
    company in the capital now.
[08:08] Brantag
    He's known for his business's political ties.
[08:12] Aruterio
    That's about the gist of it.
    Nice to meet you, little hero.
[08:15] Well
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
[08:18] Well
    So what did you mean about
     shopping being difficult?
[08:21] Aruterio
    Oh, well, you'll understand
    once we're in the capital.
[08:42] Louise
    Oh, look at that!
[08:47] Well
    That's the capital,
[08:50] Well
    Stadtburg.
[08:59] Er
    Hey, why don't we go enjoy
    the town for a bit first?
[09:02] Louise
    Good idea!
[09:04] Louise
    I might want to buy one
    of the capital's dresses!
[09:06] Brantag
    Uh, well, I have some things to attend to,
[09:10] Brantag
    so please take care of the rest.
     All of it. Everything.
[09:17] Aruterio
    He escaped.
[09:18] Well
    Escaped?
[09:24] Er
    Huh? What?
[09:25] Er
    Did we do something wrong?
[09:34] Warren
    You did a splendid job of
    slaying that ancient dragon.
[09:41] Warren
    His Majesty awaits you at the castle.
[09:43] Warren
    Please come this way.
[09:49] Well
    His Majesty?
[09:55] Well
    This place is huge...
[09:57] Louise
    Well!
[10:00] Louise
    We'll be heading to your brother's, okay?
[10:02] Louise
    Bye-bye!
[10:05] Well
    Huh?!
[10:06] Aruterio
    Hey, boy, you'll get lost.
[10:08] Well
    Oh, p-please wait for me!
[10:17] Official
    The slayer of the ancient dragon,
    Wendelin von Benno Baumeister,
[10:22] Official
    and standing in for Brantag Ringstat,
[10:25] Official
    Aruterio Märchen, have both arrived!
[10:44] King
    Raise your heads.
[10:57] King
    You truly are young...
[11:03] King
    Wendelin von Benno Baumeister.
[11:07] Well
    Yes?
[11:08] King
    In honor of your achievements
[11:10] King
    in slaying an ancient dragon and defending the
    lives of the passengers on our magic airship,
[11:15] King
    I hereby grant thee the sixth rank of baronet.
[11:24] Aruterio
    Hey, remember what I taught
     you earlier? Your pledge.
[11:30] Well
    My sword shall be wielded for Your Majesty,
[11:33] Well
    for our kingdom,
[11:34] Well
    and for our people.
[11:38] Well
    Huh? Did I just become a baronet?
[11:43] Official
    In addition, we hereby bestow
    upon you the twin dragon medal.
[11:50] Erich
    Are you sure it was okay
    to miss seeing His Majesty?
[11:53] Brantag
    It's fine.
[11:54] Brantag
    The boy is the star of the show, anyway.
[11:57] Brantag
    Oh, thank you.
[11:58] Er
    Um, is Well really going to become a baronet?
[12:02] Brantag
    Oh, I'm sure he'll earn a
    noble rank at least that high.
[12:06] Erich
    I can't believe he'd be
    granted a higher noble rank
[12:08] ---
    than our father on his journey
    to my wedding ceremony.
[12:11] Brantag
    Oh, yeah, your family only had
    the rank of knight, didn't they?
[12:15] Erich
    Um, if he really is being made a baronet,
[12:19] Erich
    wouldn't that create a
    separate, independent line?
[12:22] Brantag
    Yeah, it means his name will be
    removed from your family line
[12:25] ---
    and placed at the head of
    a new Baumeister family.
[12:30] Iina
    Is Well going to stop being
    an adventurer and leave us?
[12:35] Brantag
    No, no, even if he is granted nobility,
[12:37] Brantag
    he's just a noble of the robe,
     one without any land.
[12:40] Brantag
    He won't have any reason to stay in the capital,
[12:42] Brantag
    so whether or not he goes adventuring
    should be entirely up to him.
[12:47] Louise
    Yeah, this is an exciting promotion for Well!
[12:52] Erich
    There are some exciting aspects to it, but...
[12:55] Iina
    But?
[12:56] Brantag
    Well, I'm sure our boy is getting a full taste
[13:02] Brantag
    of the fetters that come with noble society.
[13:08] Ruckner
    170,000 gold coins for the
    bones and magic stones?
[13:12] Ruckner
    Lord Marshall Edgar, I believe
    130,000 coins is the fair amount.
[13:16] Well
    So he told me to collect them
    because they go for a high price.
[13:20] Edgar
    Lord Commissioner Ruckner,
[13:22] ---
    are you suggesting we should be stingy
    with the reward for Sir Baumeister
[13:25] ---
    after he risked his life in battle?
[13:27] Well
    Oh, but I didn't really—
[13:28] Ruckner
    We do not have an unlimited budget.
[13:31] Ruckner
    Sir Baumeister is already
    a citizen of this kingdom,
[13:33] Ruckner
    so I'm sure he understands the circumstances.
[13:36] Well
    Um...
[13:37] Edgar
    With the bones of this ancient
    dragon and the magic crystals
[13:40] ---
    we could create from such a huge magic stone,
[13:42] Edgar
    we could make several of our
    magic airships operational again!
[13:46] Edgar
    Sir Baumeister had the foresight to see that,
     and you intend to waste his efforts?
[13:51] Well
    Uh, I just—
[13:52] Ruckner
    We're discussing priorities right now.
[13:55] Ruckner
    I'm sure Sir Baumeister
    already understands that!
[13:59] Hohenheim
    I think both of you need to calm down a bit.
[14:04] Hohenheim
    Each of you makes a good point.
[14:06] Hohenheim
    So why not compromise and
    provide 150,000 gold coins?
[14:10] Ruckner
    Cardinal Hohenheim,
    this is not such a simple matter.
[14:14] Hohenheim
    With all due respect,
[14:16] ---
    Sir Baumeister is the center of attention
    here in the capital right now,
[14:21] ---
    as the believer of the light
    who defeated that bone dragon.
[14:25] Hohenheim
    I do not believe it would be
    prudent for the royal family
[14:30] Hohenheim
    to embarrass themselves before
    Sir Baumeister any further.
[14:37] Hohenheim
    Forgive my intrusion. I simply
    couldn't bear to watch them
[14:40] ---
    waste any more of your
    precious time, Sir Baumeister.
[14:43] Well
    Oh, I was just—
[14:44] Hohenheim
    Now, let us begin making the arrangements.
[14:52] Aruterio
    Looks like we have Cardinal
    Hohenheim trying to
[14:54] ---
    curry favor with you, to bring you
    under the church's influence,
[14:57] Aruterio
    while Lord Marshall Edgar is hoping to use
    you in his efforts to strengthen the military.
[15:01] Aruterio
    Meanwhile, Lord Commissioner Ruckner is just
    focused on reducing the money they spend on you.
[15:15] Roderich
    Sir Baumeister!
[15:18] Roderich
    Please behold this!
[15:19] ---
    My secret technique: Spinning Spear!
[15:26] Well
    Is that some kind of street performer?
[15:29] Aruterio
    No, that's someone hoping
    you'll hire them as a retainer.
[15:32] Well
    Huh? Me?!
[15:33] Aruterio
    Of course.
[15:35] Aruterio
    You're a noble with a promising future,
[15:37] Aruterio
    who just received the twin dragon medal that
    no one has earned in over two centuries.
[15:41] Roderich
    What do you say?! I'm confident that I'm
    second to none when it comes to the spear!
[15:45] Guard
    What do you think you're doing?!
[15:47] Roderich
    My name is—
[15:47] Roderich
    Stop! Stop!
[15:48] Guard
    Do that in your own home!
[15:49] Guard
    W-Wait just a...
[15:51] Aruterio
    You're going to be swamped
    with hopefuls like that,
[15:53] ---
    along with rich merchants begging
    you to wed their daughters.
[15:58] Well
    I'm going to be swamped with this stuff?
[16:02] Aruterio
    You probably won't be able to
    set foot outside for a while.
[16:05] Well
    Huh? Then when am I supposed to go shopping?!
[16:08] Aruterio
    That's why I said it might be difficult.
[16:13] Aruterio
    It's the price of fame you pay
    for being a proper noble.
[16:17] Well
    This is so inconvenient...
[16:30] Well
    It's been a long time.
[16:32] Helmut
    Hey, Well.
[16:34] Paul
    How have you been?
[16:36] Well
    You guys don't seem very happy.
[16:39] Erich
    The truth is, we haven't received the
    wedding gift from our family yet.
[16:47] Well
    That's bad... isn't it?
[16:50] Paul
    Of course it's bad.
[16:52] Paul
    Everyone attending will think the groom's
    family is a bunch of crass, rude nobles.
[16:58] Helmut
    Worse yet, I just got a letter
    from our brother, Kurt...
[17:01] Helmut
    Though I'm sure the one who
    actually wrote it was Amalie.
[17:05] Helmut
    Anyway, to sum it up,
[17:07] ---
    it said they don't have the money, so he's
    asking me and Paul to pay it for them.
[17:12] Paul
    What does he think two guards like us can do?
[17:16] Helmut
    Does he have any idea how
    humbly we have to live?
[17:20] Well
    Then what about getting them flowers?
[17:23] Paul
    Well, a wedding gift is also
    a symbol of noble status.
[17:27] Paul
    So it has to be something
    gaudy and extravagant.
[17:30] Well
    Status, huh?
[17:32] Iina
    But doesn't this also mean they'll be
    shaming the Duke of Bleichröder, too?
[17:38] Well
    Huh? Why would it go that far?
[17:40] Erich
    Because, Well,
[17:42] Erich
    the Baumeister family are
    vassals of the Duke of Bleichröder.

    Though, of course, it's our family's fault for
[18:10] ---
    not asking the duke to lend
    it in the first place.
[18:12] Helmut
    We probably didn't ask because
    we have no way to repay it.
[18:21] Well
    Um, should I go ahead and pay for it?
[18:24] Everyone
    Congratulations on your wedding!
SIGN    Baumeister Family
[18:34] Well
    Being a noble is such a pain.
[18:44] Aruterio
    Hey, you don't look too
    thrilled there, nobleman.
[18:47] Aruterio
    Keep sighing, and all
    your happiness will escape.
[18:50] Well
    Hey, Aruterio.
[18:51] Aruterio
    Man, I had to hunt this down.
[18:53] Aruterio
    We weren't carrying it at any of our shops,
[18:55] Aruterio
    so I had to ask a trader I know for it.
[18:57] Well
    Huh? You mean...
[18:59] Well
    You found it for me?!
[19:01] Aruterio
    Apparently he obtained it
    from Mizuho in the north.
[19:04] Aruterio
    Just what is this "kome-kouji," anyway?
[19:08] Aruterio
    Hey, are you trying to start
    some kind of business?
[19:12] Aruterio
    If you are, could you let me know first?
[19:24] Er
    What's going on all of a sudden?
[19:26] Er
    Brantag said he was going to
    show us the capital's nightlife.
[19:30] Well
    Just come with me!
[19:31] Well
    Come on! We're home!
[19:32] Well
    Whoa... Hang on!

    Quit pulling!

[20:37] Well
    But I'll use magic.
[20:43] Well
    Please, ferment correctly this time!
[20:50] Well
    Now that I think about it,
[20:52] Well
    I once spoke to an artisan who made miso
[20:54] Well
    back when I was still an employee
    at a trading company.
[20:58] Well
    He asked me if I knew the difference
    between fermentation and rot.
[21:05] Well
    If I remember right, the correct answer
    was that they're both the same process,
[21:09] Well
    but it's fermentation
    when it's useful to people,
[21:12] Well
    and it's rot when it's harmful.
[21:18] Well
    Maybe it's the same with being a noble.
[21:23] Well
    It brings a lot of trouble with it,
[21:26] ---
    but I have to live in this
    world regardless, so...
[21:33] Everyone
    It's delicious!
[21:36] Well
    I think it's better if I live intelligently,
[21:39] ---
    and get others to believe
    I'm the fermenting kind of noble.
[21:54] Elise
    You summoned me, Grandfather?
[21:57] Hohenheim
    Oh, you're here.
[22:04] Hohenheim
    Elise, I've decided who your husband will be.
