[00:00] Hohenheim
That concludes our true baptism.
[00:04] Hohenheim
Please have a seat.
[00:06] Hohenheim
The tea will be ready soon.
[00:12] Well
Cardinal Hohenheim...
[00:16] Well
I would like to express my sincere
gratitude to you for inviting one
[00:21] ---
as young as I to partake in a true baptism.
[00:26] Well
I have heard that such a baptism
is a great honor that is typically
[00:29] ---
bestowed only upon the chosen,
[00:31] Well
so I could not be more grateful that you
[00:33] ---
have granted me such an honor.
[00:36] Well
This is merely a trifle,
[00:39] ---
but please accept my offering.
[00:44] Hohenheim
Baronet Baumeister,
may God grant you protection.
[00:53] Hohenheim
Yes, enter.
[00:58] Elise
Please excuse me.
[01:06] Hohenheim
This is my granddaughter.
[01:10] Hohenheim
Go on, introduce yourself.
[01:15] Elise
I am Elise Katarina von Hohenheim.
[01:20] Well
I'm Wendelin von Benno Baumeister.
[01:27] Hohenheim
So you've noticed, have you?
[01:30] Well
She possesses magic power, doesn't she?
[01:32] Hohenheim
Yes, she can use holy healing magic.
[01:35] Well
Healing? That's incredible.
[01:38] Well
The only holy magic
I can use is purification.
[01:41] Hohenheim
Oh, no, it's impressive
that you can use any all.
[01:45] Well
So do you heal the wounded
here at this church?
[01:48] Hohenheim
Yes.
[01:49] ---
We have several other nuns in training who
perform charity and distribute food, as well,
[01:54] Hohenheim
so many of the people call
her the "Saint" Hohenheim.
[02:00] Well
That's wonderful.
[02:01] Well
So she'll become a member of the clergy?
[02:06] Hohenheim
Personally, I would prefer for her
to get married, like a normal girl.
[02:12] Well
Elise is quite beautiful, though.
[02:15] ---
Wouldn't there be competition for her?
[02:17] Hohenheim
To be honest, there are many
families asking for her.
[02:20] Well
Oh? Then maybe I should join the running, too.
[02:25] Hohenheim
Oh? You would take my
granddaughter to be your wife?
[02:29] Well
I'm still underage,
[02:31] ---
so it would just be an engagement.
[02:33] Hohenheim
That's true. Elise is also only 12,
[02:37] Hohenheim
so what would you think of having the
proper wedding once you're of age?
[02:42] Well
I guess that means I'd be bidding the
bachelor life farewell in three years.
[02:47] Well
Then it'd finally be time
to pay the piper, huh?
[03:01] Hohenheim
All right, then, so it shall be.
[03:04] Well
So it shall be?
[03:07] Hohenheim
Yes, so it shall be.
[03:09] Well
Huh? I thought we were just
having a chat about business...
[03:16] Well
One minute after I met her, we were engaged.

Political Marriage?! Are You Kidding Me?!
[04:51] Hohenheim
Inviting him over for a true baptism and
securing the engagement right there...
[04:56] Hohenheim
Perhaps I was too pushy?
[04:58] Sebastian
I believe it was very fitting of you, my lord.
[05:03] Sebastian
But I do wonder what we're going to say to
[05:06] ---
Duke Bleichröder, the Lord
of the Baumeister family.
[05:10] Hohenheim
That is why I first obtained
His Majesty's pledge.
[05:14] Hohenheim
Even the Duke won't be able to object
when I have His Majesty's backing.
[05:18] Sebastian
Impressive, my lord.
[05:23] Hohenheim
More importantly, look at this offering.
[05:27] Hohenheim
It couldn't be more unbelievable.
[05:32] Sebastian
For a young boy, he has a good understanding
of the power the church wields.
[05:36] Hohenheim
I guess using magic isn't
all he's capable of.
[05:41] Sebastian
The Hohenheim family holds
the rank of viscount,
[05:44] Sebastian
so you always said the man to marry
Lady Elise must be at least a Baron,
[05:50] Sebastian
but now I understand why you
would choose Baronet Baumeister,
[05:55] Sebastian
even if it took me some time to see it.
[06:00] Sebastian
Your judgment is quite sound, my lord.
[06:03] Hohenheim
For now, at least.
[06:10] Er
I can't believe you went to get
baptized and came back engaged.
[06:14] Iina
And to "Saint" Hohenheim of all people.
[06:17] Louise
Lineage and a good personality—she's perfect!
[06:21] Well
But it happened just a minute after I met her.
[06:24] Well
Is that really enough to determine the
partner I'm supposed to share a long life with?
[06:31] Iina
But isn't that just how marriage is?
[06:34] Er
Yeah. It's unusual to even have
one minute with them first.
[06:38] Well
No, no! You're supposed to spend
more time cultivating love and...
[06:43] Erich
We didn't meet our wives until
the very day we were wed.
[06:46] Well
Huh?
[06:48] Miriam
It was the same for my parents, too.
[06:50] Erich
I think it was the same for
Brother Kurt and Amalie.
[06:55] Well
Really?
[06:57] Miriam
Yes.
[06:58] Miriam
Okay, now, close your eyes.
[07:02] Well
I see. There's no such thing
[07:05] Well
as romantic marriages for nobles.
[07:10] Clerk
Hey, look at that.
[07:12] Well
So... what's the deal with this disguise?
[07:17] Er
I mean, you said you wanted to
see the sights of the capital without
[07:21] ---
being noticed by the guy who
wanted to be your retainer.
[07:23] Well
I know...
[07:25] Well
And no one is noticing who I am, but...
[07:30] Er
Just enjoy yourself!
[07:32] Er
Maybe buy a souvenir for the wife.
[07:36] Well
Wife, huh?
[07:37] Er
I'm sure she's thinking,
[07:39] ---
"I'm marrying the Dragon Slayer?
Lucky me!" right about now.
[07:44] Well
You really think she is?
[07:46] Er
I mean, you said she was
smiling the whole time, right?
[07:49] Well
But that was in front of her
grandfather. Who knows...
[07:54] Well
what she really thinks deep down?
[08:10] Well
That's the guy who keeps
asking to be my retainer!
[08:13] Er
Don't worry. He'll never realize it's you.
[08:16] Roderich
Sir Baumeister!
[08:21] Roderich
You're dressed quite comically,
[08:23] Roderich
but those teeth belong to Sir Baumeister,
[08:26] Roderich
so I noticed right away!
[08:29] Well
Um, could you keep the volume down?
[08:33] HopefulA
I knew it! That man is the Dragon Slayer!
[08:36] HopefulB
Sir Baumeister! Please make me your retainer!
[08:40] Er
Here they come! Here they come!
[08:41] Roderich
Then behold!
[08:43] Roderich
The third form of my Spinning Spear!
[08:50] Er
I can't believe you can't see any of
the sights when it's summer break.
[08:56] Er
I feel bad for you.
[08:57] Erich
Why don't you actually hire a retainer?
[09:00] Erich
Then you could have them turn
down all those asking to be one.
[09:05] Er
Oh, then how about I be your retainer?
[09:08] Well
Huh? Oh...
[09:10] Well
Let's go with that, then.
[09:12] Er
For real?
[09:14] Er
Hold on, are you serious?
[09:16] Er
Huh? Wait, wait... What?
[09:20] Well
Well, I'm heading out for a bit,
so I'll see you later.
[09:27] Er
Um, did I just become a retainer?
[09:31] Er
I did, right?
[09:33] Erich
Yeah.
[09:34] Erich
Congratulations, Erwin.
[09:37] Er
I did it.
[10:04] Elise
Baronet Baumeister?
[10:08] Elise
What are you doing there?
[10:30] Well
I'm sorry about that.
[10:32] Elise
It's all right.
[10:36] Well
I bought these earlier.
I thought we could share them.
[10:41] Well
Huh?!
[10:45] Well
They're all crushed...
[10:47] Well
Um, the truth is, I wanted to talk.
[10:51] Elise
In that case, let's go down.
[10:52] Elise
I'll prepare us some tea.
[10:54] Well
Oh...
[10:56] Well
I meant just the two of us, if possible.
[11:03] Elise
Very well.
[11:10] Well
It's about our engagement this morning...
[11:16] Well
I wanted...
[11:18] Well
I wanted to ask you how
you felt about all this.
[11:23] Elise
I think it's a nice arrangement.
[11:27] Well
A nice arrangement?
[11:28] Well
What do you mean?
[11:30] Elise
I can see why my grandfather has chosen you.
[11:34] Well
But you don't know anything about me, do you?
[11:38] Elise
There isn't a soul in the capital
[11:41] ---
who doesn't know about the heroics of
Baronet Baumeister, the Dragon Slayer.
[11:46] Well
The... heroics?
[11:49] Elise
I'm happy that I'll become
the wife of such a man.
[11:56] Well
Then I'm glad.
[12:04] Iina
I can't believe Er became Well's retainer.
[12:08] Louise
All while we were out
buying fancy clothes, too.
[12:13] Iina
Though I kind of thought something like this
might happen after Well became a baronet.
[12:20] Louise
There's still time!
[12:22] Louise
Let's have Well hire us, too!
[12:23] Er
I see. So you're hoping
to be his retainers, too.
[12:30] Er
It's my job to tell you to take a hike,
[12:34] Er
but okay, roger that.
[12:36] Er
I'll put in a good word for you with Well.
[12:40] Both
Thanks.
[12:41] Er
I'm glad, though.
[12:43] Er
I always wanted to have juniors.
[12:50] Iina
Wait, wait!
[12:52] Iina
So we'll be his juniors?
[12:54] Louise
No way!
[12:55] Louise
If he tries to treat me like I'm beneath him,
[12:57] Louise
I'll beat him to death on
my first day of the job!
[13:00] Louise
I'll murder him by morning!
[13:02] Iina
But at this rate...
[13:04] Louise
C'mon, isn't there anything
we can do to get above him?!
[13:07] Miriam
Hello? Is there anyone here who
could help me peel potatoes?
[13:12] Er
Yes!
[13:16] Erich
I'll help peel them, too.
[13:19] Louise
Iina!
[13:21] Louise
That's it!
[13:22] Louise
That's how we get above Er!
[13:28] Iina
You don't mean...
[13:29] Louise
Yeah!
[13:30] Louise
We aim to be his wives!
[13:34] Iina
But there's Elise...
[13:35] Louise
So we aim to be concubines!
[13:40] Iina
That's true. It's common for
nobles to have concubines.
[13:44] Louise
Since we're daughters of military
retainers, it might be impossible
[13:48] Louise
for us to be official wives,
[13:50] Louise
but we can still become concubines!
[13:53] Iina
It might be possible.
[13:54] Louise
Then, once we're with him,
[13:56] Louise
we can use our privileged position
to work Er like a cart horse!
[14:06] Well
I'm home.
[14:08] Louise
Okay, time to commence Operation
Concubine Seduction!
[14:13] Iina
Operation Concubine Seduction?
[14:16] Louise
Just watch.
[14:40] Miriam
Dinner is ready!
[14:42] Well
Okay.
[15:00] Iina
What are you doing? You just bought that.
[15:03] Louise
I'm making a new outfit for
Operation Concubine Seduction II.
[15:10] Iina
You're remarkable, Louise.
[15:13] Iina
I can't be that aggressive
about things like this.
[15:17] Louise
I can't, either.
[15:20] Louise
But if I manage to become Well's concubine,
[15:23] Louise
then one day, I might be able to
open a school to teach my own style.
[15:28] Louise
Then my family might finally recognize me.
[15:35] Iina
I'm sorry.
[15:37] Iina
You're right. I'll do my best, too.
[15:40] Louise
There, all done!
[15:42] Louise
This one's yours, Iina!
[15:44] Iina
Huh? There's one for me?
[15:47] Iina
Thank you!
[15:49] Louise
Here, try it on!
[15:50] Iina
Okay!
[15:58] Iina
Absolutely not.
[15:59] Louise
Huh? Why not?
[16:00] Louise
It covers what it needs to!
[16:02] Iina
It reveals nearly everything!
[16:04] Louise
Huh? But this is what mine's like.
[16:05] Iina
That's just a few strings! No, threads!
[16:10] Sebastian
Your invitation.
[16:14] Sebastian
To have dinner with Elise tomorrow night.
[16:19] Well
All right...
[16:34] Chef
Tonight, we have prepared a course
of several original dishes
[16:38] ---
inspired by the achievements of "Saint"
Hohenheim and the Dragon Slayer.
[16:43] Chef
We hope you enjoy them.
[16:52] Well
It's sea bream.
[16:57] Elise
Yes, it's sea bream.
[17:00] Well
It's good, isn't it?
[17:01] Elise
Yes, it's good.
[17:04] Well
Right?
[17:12] Well
It was good, wasn't it?
[17:13] Elise
Yes, it was good.
[17:17] Well
Then I suppose I should...
[17:20] Sebastian
Sir Baumeister...
[17:21] Sebastian
This is your first date.
[17:24] Sebastian
Why not be a gentleman and give
her something to commemorate it?
[17:28] Well
Commemorate?
[17:30] Clerk
Dragon Slayer and "Saint" Hohenheim...
[17:34] Clerk
Today we have prepared this selection of
items to suit you two and your betrothal.
[17:42] Well
He meant an engagement ring, huh?
[17:48] Well
By the way, how much are these?
[17:51] Clerk
Well, they range from 10 to 50 gold coins.
[17:55] Well
So one to five million yen...
[17:58] Well
That's nobility for you.
[18:00] Well
Even though they're so
ostentatious and unrefined...
[18:06] Elise
Um, Baronet Baumeister...
[18:11] Elise
You don't have to buy me
something this expensive.
[18:15] Well
It's all right.
[18:17] ---
I received a substantial reward
for defeating that bone dragon.
[18:30] Well
This is...
[18:34] Clerk
An engagement ring is something that
"Saint" Hohenheim will wear frequently.
[18:40] Clerk
I think that one might be too plain.
[18:47] Well
Still, I'll take this one.
[18:49] Clerk
As you wish.
[18:51] Well
How much is it?
[18:53] Clerk
This one will cost 300 gold coins.
[18:56] Well
300 million yen?!
[18:59] Clerk
It's specially crafted using a magic stone.
[19:02] Well
Still, that's...
[19:07] Well
I'll take it.
[19:08] Clerk
Thank you very much for your purchase.
[19:24] Elise
Baronet Baumeister...
[19:26] Well
Yes?
[19:28] Elise
The truth is that you were able to see
that this ring had a magic stone, isn't it?
[19:34] Well
Huh?
[19:35] Elise
According to the shopkeeper we just spoke to,
[19:38] ---
this ring is capable of
storing great magic power.
[19:43] Elise
So wearing this would surely
[19:46] ---
allow me to be useful to you in the future.
[19:52] Elise
So understanding all of that, you...
[19:53] Well
No, to be honest, I didn't
realize that was a magic stone.
[20:00] Elise
Then why did you choose this one?
[20:02] Well
Huh?
[20:04] Well
Well, I just chose a ring
I thought would look good on you.
[20:11] Well
Oh, was it too plain?
[20:15] Elise
No...
[20:18] Well
Oh, that's a relief.
[20:22] Well
Anyway, you're incredible, Elise.
[20:27] Well
I mean, these past few days,
[20:29] ---
I've been feeling the pressure of suddenly
being called a hero or the Dragon Slayer.
[20:35] Elise
Pressure, you say?
[20:38] Well
Even today, part of me is wondering
if I'm actually acting like a hero.
[20:43] Well
I'm not even that brave.
[20:48] Well
But you've been called a saint
ever since you were little, right?
[20:53] Elise
No, I wasn't...
[20:56] Well
It must have been hard.
[20:59] Well
Oh, right.
[21:00] Well
They said this ring would glow
when you put magic into it, right?
[21:04] Well
Can I see it a moment?
[21:22] Well
Incredible...
[21:33] Hohenheim
So?
[21:34] Hohenheim
What did you think of that boy?
[21:38] Sebastian
He's a bit hard to discern.
[21:44] Sebastian
Most men before him have treated
Elise as "Saint" Hohenheim,
[21:52] Sebastian
but Sir Baumeister treated
her like a normal young girl.
[21:59] Sebastian
I have no idea what he's thinking.
[22:03] Well
That sea bream we had earlier...
[22:05] Well
It would have been great
with some soy sauce.
