[00:30] Hugo
    Angelica, is that it for the orders?
[00:33] Angelica
    Hugo.
[00:34] Angelica
    Assuming his letter is accurate, yeah.
[00:39] Hugo
    This is all for his disciple?
[00:42] Angelica
    Probably.
[00:43] Angelica
    I guess you could call it an
    introductory materials kit.
[00:46] Hugo
    Really, though, a disciple?
    For that half-baked guy?
[00:51] Angelica
    Hugo.
[00:54] Angelica
    Come on.
[00:58] Angelica
    All right, let's start.
[00:59] Hugo
    Okay.
[01:02] Hugo
    Ready when you are, Angelica.
[01:04] Angelica
    Yeah.
[01:11] Angelica
    Dig deeper, dig deeper, droplet.
[01:14] Angelica
    Forge, forge, steel.
[01:17] Angelica
    Part the gold, cut the mortar, turn with...
[01:30] Hugo
    Angelica!
[01:31] Hugo
    What was that?
[01:33] Angelica
    It should be around here...
[01:35] Angelica
    Found it.
[01:39] Angelica
    This is my gift.
[01:41] Angelica
    I hope they like it.
[01:46] Hugo
    That's why I asked you if
    that was all for the orders.
[01:50] Angelica
    I'd forgotten about this one.
[01:52] Hugo
    A book from the land of disciples?
[01:54] Angelica
    I found it at the used book store.
[01:57] Angelica
    All right, Hugo.
[01:58] Hugo
    Right.
[02:01] Hugo
    Dig deeper, dig deeper, droplet.
[02:04] Hugo
    Forge, forge, steel.
[02:08] Hugo
    Part the gold, cut the mortar,
[02:11] Hugo
    turn with those hands the
    water wheel of the night.
[02:18] Hugo
    Let what must go
    flow to where it must be.
[02:44] Angelica
    Now, take that to Ainsworth
    and his disciple, Chise, please.

[04:12] Chise
    Morning, Ruth.
[04:13] Ruth
    Morning, Chise.
[04:42] Chise
    Yes?
[04:43] (A)
    Is the medicine I requested ready?
[04:46] Chise
    The cough medicine, correct?
[04:58] Chise
    Elias.
[05:15] Chise
    Would you like Darjeeling?
[05:16] Elias
    Yes.
[05:17] Elias
    Please.
[05:20] Elias
    We're having a lot of
    tomato dishes as of late.
[05:24] Chise
    We've got a lot of tomatoes,
    since it's summer.
[05:26] Elias
    I see.
[05:42] Chise
    Ruth, you're having breakfast, right?
[05:49] Ruth
    Yeah, Chise.
[05:51] Chise
    A gremlin?
[05:55] Ruth
    I was making him fix something he messed up.
[06:10] Chise
    Time to eat.
[06:17] Elias
    Are you not eating?
[06:19] Chise
    Oh, it's not that.
[06:23] Chise
    Seems like he's in a bad mood.
[06:30] ---
    Oh, I'll start eating.
[06:36] Chise
    You're spilling it, Ruth.
[06:40] Elias
    Chise.
[06:41] Chise
    Yes?
[06:42] Elias
    What are your plans for today?
[06:44] Chise
    I'll be checking on the field in the
     back, to pick whatever is ready.
[06:51] Chise
    The herbs are maturing, too,
[06:54] Chise
    so I'm thinking of drying all of them.
[07:02] Chise
    Once I'm done with my morning tasks,
    I'll be studying magic as usual.
[07:08] Elias
    What will you do?
[07:10] Chise
    There's a book I haven't finished,
    so I'll read the rest of that.
[07:13] Elias
    Is it the one I gave you the other day?
[07:16] Chise
    Yes.
[07:19] Elias
    Chise, acquiring knowledge is fine,
     but you need experience as well.
[07:29] Chise
    It seems kind of dangerous, though.
[07:32] Chise
    I thought I should learn it well first.
[07:36] Elias
    That's important, too,
[07:39] Elias
    but I'm your teacher.
[07:43] Elias
    You can ask me if you ever
     want to experiment.
[07:49] Chise
    Yes.
[07:55] Elias
    I'll pick out a book suitable for you.
[07:57] Elias
    Let me know.
[08:03] Chise
    Coming.
[08:18] Chise
    S-Sorry.
[08:20] Chise
    All this stuff came crashing down on me.
[08:22] Chise
    I couldn't stop it.
[08:24] Elias
    That's fine.
[08:27] Elias
    Angie really stuffed it full, though.
[08:32] Chise
    Angelica-san?
[08:34] Elias
    I ordered some learning materials for you.
[08:39] Chise
    This is all for me?
[08:42] Elias
    Yes.
[08:44] Elias
    The books are still too advanced for you,
[08:48] Elias
    but I'll make sure you can
    use the tools right away.
[08:53] Elias
    What's wrong?
[08:55] Chise
    Nothing.
[08:56] Elias
    Oh.
[08:58] Elias
    Use this when you go into the forest.
[09:01] Elias
    Use this when you're gathering fairies.
[09:04] Elias
    This book's very easy to read.
[09:06] Elias
    This one's...
[09:10] Elias
    Now, Chise, let's bring this to the study.
[09:13] Chise
    The study?
[09:16] Elias
    Ah, have I not told you yet?
[09:19] Chise
    You haven't.
[09:23] Silky
    Stare...
[09:24] Chise
    May I finish breakfast first?
[09:27] Elias
    Good idea.
[09:42] Elias
    Aren't you going in?
[09:44] Chise
    Right.
[10:10] Elias
    What's wrong?
[10:12] Chise
    Elias, um...
[10:17] Chise
    May I tidy up this room?
[10:23] Chise
    I have a feeling it'll be difficult
    to find things in here.
[10:29] Elias
    Well, I suppose I don't mind.
[10:31] Chise
    Ruth.
[10:32] Ruth
    Okay.
[10:49] Elias
    I never even thought of
    cleaning the bookshelves.
[10:54] Elias
    Even if I sort them, they tend to
    end up elsewhere on their own.
[11:07] Elias
    Eventually I got sick of it.
[11:10] Elias
    I told Silky that she doesn't
    need to bother, either.
[11:14] Chise
    B-But, maybe with enough diligence,
    we can maintain some order.
[11:21] Elias
    If you think so, it must be true.
[11:26] Ruth
    Chise, why don't we go for a walk?
[11:49] Chise
    Um...
[11:52] Chise
    Thank you very much,
[11:54] Chise
    for all the new learning materials.
[11:57] Elias
    I'm your magic teacher.
[12:00] Elias
    I'm just doing what anyone would.
[12:02] Chise
    I know, but why so many?
[12:08] Elias
    I simply thought you'd need it.
[12:18] Chise
    Nothing. Never mind.

[12:35] Chise
    This book...
[12:37] Elias
    What's the matter?
[12:40] Chise
    Angelica-san sent this.
[12:41] Elias
    A gift?
[12:43] Elias
    A Japanese book.
[12:45] Elias
    How unusual.
[12:46] Ruth
    Looks like it's special.
[12:50] Elias
    Is it?
[12:53] Chise
    I guess.
[13:05] Chise
    E-Elias?
[13:20] Chise
    Um...
[13:21] Elias
    Tell me.
[13:23] Elias
    In what way is that book special to you?
[13:27] Chise
    Er, but we aren't done tidying up the books.
[13:32] Elias
    We can do that whenever.
[13:34] Elias
    I'm your magic teacher, but you're
    my human teacher, aren't you?
[13:41] Elias
    I think it's important to answer your
    student's questions as much as you can.
[13:46] Chise
    I know, but...
[13:49] Elias
    Tell me
[13:51] Elias
    about that book.
[13:55] Elias
    Please?
[13:59] Chise
    All right.
[14:03] (A)
    Our Slay Vega is telling a story.
[14:10] (B)
    The beloved child's telling a story?
[14:14] (C)
    I want to hear.
[14:19] Chise
    I read this book when I was still alone.

    Mom.
[14:47] (Flashback) (A)
    She's way too much of a burden to take in.
[14:50] (Flashback) (A)
    And I hear she's odd,
[14:53] (Flashback) (A)
    talking to herself and behaving strangely.
[14:59] (Flashback) (B)
    Hey, I heard your mom left you.
[15:03] (Flashback) (C)
    No, her mom killed herself.
[15:06] (Flashback) (B)
    What's the difference? She's an orphan.
[15:09] (Flashback) (B)
    She didn't want you, did she?
[15:17] (Flashback) (A)
    Give it back!
[15:18] (Flashback) (B)
    No way!

    Please!

    Wait until I'm done.

    No!

    Please stop making a mess this early.
[15:25] (Flashback) (B)
    Take it if you can.
[15:28] (Flashback) Mom
    That's enough!
[15:30] (Flashback) (B)
    Okay.
[15:34] (Flashback) (B)
    Time to eat!
[15:54] (Flashback) (A)
    Thanks for the food!
[15:56] (Flashback) Mom
    Put your dishes away first.
[15:58] (Flashback) (B)
    Wait, I'm coming.
[15:59] (Flashback) Mom
    Hold on!

    Daiki, wear your hat,
[16:02] (Flashback) Mom
    and take your water bottle!
[16:14] (Flashback) (A)
    See you.
[16:15] (Flashback) Mom
    Take care.
[16:25] (Flashback) Mom
    Again?
[16:27] (Flashback) Mom
    I'm cleaning it up if you won't eat.
[16:33] (Flashback) Mom
    Hey.
[16:51] (Flashback) Mom
    Say something, honey.
[16:53] (Flashback) Mom
    That girl won't warm up to us.
[16:56] (Flashback) Mom
    She won't even touch the food I made her.
[17:00] (Flashback) Mom
    What? I gave her the same
    thing I gave the other two.
[17:04] (Flashback) Mom
    Come on, what do you mean
    you're in the middle of work?
[17:07] (Flashback) Mom
    You were the one who
    said you'd take her in!
[17:11] (Flashback) Mom
    I really shouldn't have accepted her!
[18:15] (Flashback) (A)
    Are you okay?
[18:19] (Flashback) (A)
    Are you hurt?
[18:21] (Flashback) (A)
    One second.
[18:29] (Flashback) (A)
    Here.
[18:31] (Flashback) Chise
    Th-Thanks.
[18:41] (Flashback) (A)
    Are you okay?
[18:42] (Flashback) (B)
    What was that for?

    Where are your parents?
[18:47] (Flashback) (A)
    You're bleeding.

    I'm sorry.

    Don't worry.

    Those creepy things can't come in here.

    You can see them?
[21:01] (Flashback) Chise
    Who are you, Onii-san?
[21:04] (Flashback) (A)
    I'm the magician of the forest.
[21:09] (Flashback) (A)
    Welcome...
[21:13] (Flashback) (A)
    To the library of the forest.

[22:50] (A)
    The young man stood amidst
    the huge collection of books.

    Maybe I should just take her away.

[13:15] Chise
    and it makes Auntie angry.
[13:29] Miura
    Just this once.
[13:31] Miura
    Just today.
[13:34] Miura
    Let's find a book for your report.
[13:53] Chise
    I just really didn't want
    to go home that day.
[13:58] Magus
    That's unusual.
[13:59] Magus
    That you'd be so insistent.
[14:03] Chise
    I was a child.
[14:07] Ruth
    Are you all right?
[14:08] Chise
    Thanks, Ruth.
[14:10] Chise
    I'm all right.
[14:12] Ruth
    As long as this isn't hard on you.
[14:15] (A)
    And then? And then?
[14:17] Chise
    And that became a special night.
[15:02] Miura
    There's a book I want you to have.
[15:12] Chise
    "The Lonely Little Star."
[15:19] Chise
    A picture book?
[15:21] Miura
    I have a feeling you really need this book.
[15:28] Miura
    Now, will you clean up these books for me?
[15:40] Chise
    It's so pretty.
[17:04] Miura
    "The lonely little star, the tiny child of a star,
     twinkled in the empty sky all by itself."
[17:39] Miura
    I'll send her home before sunrise.
[17:43] Miura
    All right?
[17:45] Miura
    Goodbye.
[17:46] Miura
    You'll never come back again.

    I'm sorry.

    You, the door!
[19:57] Miura
    I'm sorry.

    I'll lend you this.

    I'm sorry.
[21:53] Chise
    I didn't close the door.
[21:55] Miura
    Hatori Chise-san, I need you
    to do something for me.
[21:59] Miura
    Deliver it for me.
[22:01] Miura
    I can't do it.

[22:11] Chise
    Miura-san!
[22:13] Chise
    Miura-san!
[23:47] Chise
    A promise left unfulfilled.
[23:49] Chise
    The girl runs onward, holding
    with her a young man's regret.
[23:53] Chise
    Not knowing what she'll find...

[00:17] Miura
    I want you to deliver that
    book to someone for me.
[00:22] Miura
    I can't do it anymore.
[00:29] Miura
    Hurry.
[00:30] Miura
    Stay here, and you'll really
    be unable to go home.
[00:43] Chise
    Miura-san.
[00:44] Miura
    This is my memory.
[00:46] Miura
    It's the regret that's been
    woven shut inside that book.
[00:52] Miura
    That night, I had a promise
    I needed to fulfill.
[00:56] Chise
    A promise?
[00:58] Miura
    Someone was waiting for me.
[01:01] Miura
    Niikura Mayumi-san.
[01:03] Miura
    The owner of that book.
[01:09] (Flashback) Mayumi
    Which one are you going to borrow today?
[01:11] (Flashback) Miura
    I can't decide.
[01:13] (Flashback) Miura
    The master's books are all so impressive.
[01:17] (Flashback) Mayumi
    When they say "bookworm," they
    must mean people like you.
[01:22] (Flashback) Miura
    Not as much as you.
[01:28] (Flashback) Mayumi
    Hey, I...
[01:30] (Flashback) Miura
    The master told me...
[01:32] (Flashback) Miura
    that you were going to get married.
[01:37] (Flashback) Miura
    Congratulations.
[01:40] (Flashback) Mayumi
    Is that all you're going to say?
[01:43] (Flashback) Miura
    What more could I say?
[01:48] (Flashback) Mayumi
    My happiest moments are when
     I'm reading the last page of a book.
[01:55] (Flashback) Mayumi
    The story ends.
[02:01] (Flashback) Mayumi
    But it makes me feel as though
    it's going to go on somewhere.
[02:08] (Flashback) Mayumi
    You can borrow this.
[02:13] (Flashback) Miura
    Mayumi-san.
[02:18] (Flashback) Mayumi
    Please don't forget to give it back.
[02:22] Miura
    I was just a lowly student.
[02:25] Miura
    She was the daughter of
    the wealthy family I was indebted to.
[02:29] Miura
    I never thought our relationship
    would ever bear fruit.
[02:35] Miura
    But...
SIGN    Wait for me on the final platform
[02:57] Miura
    She extended her hand to me.
[03:01] Miura
    I had no choice but to go to her.
[03:07] Miura
    No matter what.
[03:37] Miura
    I have to go to her.
[03:47] Miura
    I have to go.
[03:49] Miura
    I have to go.
[03:51] Miura
    I have to go!
[04:03] Miura
    I was drawn to this library.
[05:07] Miura
    And I became a captive.
[05:27] Miura
    I don't even know how
    long I've been here now.
[05:36] Miura
    But...
[05:39] Miura
    You reminded me.
[05:43] Miura
    When you smiled and said you
    like the last page of a book.
[05:51] Miura
    To her...
[05:53] Miura
    To Niikura Mayumi-san.
[05:56] Miura
    Hatori-san.
[06:04] Miura
    There's no one else I can ask.
[06:08] Miura
    Now, go.

    We just got here yesterday.

[13:58] Chise
    I gave her the book.
[14:04] Chise
    Mayumi-san said, "Thank you."
[14:10] (Flashback) Miura
    "The child of a star asked,
    with a voice like a bell,
[14:15] (Flashback) Miura
    'God of the Stars, why do you leave
    me here by myself in this dark night sky?'
[14:22] (Flashback) Miura
    'I have no way to talk to the other stars,
    or to show each other our light.'
[14:30] (Flashback) Miura
    To which the God of the Stars replied,
[14:34] (Flashback) Miura
    'Look very carefully.'
[14:37] (Flashback) Miura
    And so the child looked very hard. So hard
    that their eyes could have fallen out."
[14:45] (Flashback) Miura
    Then, off in the distance, a myriad
    of tiny, twinkling stars could be seen.
[14:54] (Flashback) Miura
    'See? You can see them if
    you look really carefully.
[14:58] (Flashback) Miura
    The sky is endlessly connected.
[15:01] (Flashback) Miura
    Just try, and you'll see even
    the faintest of lights.'"
[15:09] (Flashback) Chise
    This is the book I need?
[15:13] (Flashback) Miura
    Hatori-san.
[15:15] (Flashback) ---
    Hm?
[15:16] (Flashback) Miura
    You might see nothing but
    pitch-black darkness right now.
[15:22] (Flashback) Miura
    But, you have to keep trying and
    trying, looking into the dark world.
[15:30] (Flashback) Chise
    Yeah.
[15:31] (Flashback) Miura
    And off in the distance,
    you'll surely find some light.
[15:38] (Flashback) Chise
    Like the child of a star?
[15:40] (Flashback) Miura
    Yes.
[15:41] (Flashback) Miura
    Like the child of a star.
[15:43] (Flashback) Miura
    And when you find the child of
    a star, they'll surely find you, too.
[15:52] (Flashback) Miura
    And you'll shine light on each other.
[15:56] (Flashback) Miura
    And then your world will
    no longer be pitch-black.
[16:00] (Flashback) Chise
    Really?
[16:02] (Flashback) Miura
    Just look.
[16:06] (Flashback) Miura

    Elias, what is it?
[17:43] Elias
    Found it.
[17:48] Elias
    That story you just told me...
[17:51] Elias
    I believe I've seen
    something like it before.
[17:57] Elias
    See?
[17:59] Chise
    "Mayoiga"?
[18:02] Elias
    Yeah.
[18:03] Elias
    It shows itself in a spectacular light
    to those who get lost in the forest.
[18:10] Elias
    So that's how it draws people in.
[18:13] Elias
    Huh.
[18:15] Elias
    That's so odd.
[18:16] Chise
    How so?
[18:17] Elias
    Those who wander in are allowed
    to bring home just one thing.
[18:26] Elias
    You don't see this kind of
    thing very often around here.
[18:30] Elias
    People do steal things by force.
[18:34] Chise
    I see.
[18:36] Elias
    That's probably the condition for
    their returning to their own world.
[18:42] Elias
    That Miura man gave you something every
    time you left from the library, correct?
[18:50] Chise
    A library card, a picture
    book, and that book.
[18:55] Elias
    I wonder if it counts if it's
    given to you by someone inside.
[19:01] Chise
    What if you can't be given anything?
[19:04] Elias
    You'd likely be stuck there.
[19:08] Elias
    That's what it means to
    wander into the other side.
[19:14] Elias
    Though I don't know how
    much he was aware of that.
[19:22] Chise
    Miura-san...
[19:24] Chise
    He must have known everything.
[19:27] Chise
    He must have given the
    book to me knowing that.
[19:31] Elias
    What makes you say that?
[19:32] Chise
    If it wasn't that book that he'd given me,
    I probably wouldn't have left him there.
[19:41] Elias
    Chise...
[19:42] Chise
    Yes?
[19:43] Elias
    Is this memory a painful one?
[19:48] Elias
    Angie really shouldn't have sent us this.
[19:52] Chise
    That's not true.
[19:54] Elias
    Really?
[19:56] Ruth
    I don't mind this book, either.
[19:59] Chise
    Yeah.
[20:00] Chise
    You're right.
[20:09] Chise
    It's already getting dark.
[20:11] Elias
    We've really been talking away.
[20:29] Chise
    We didn't finish cleaning.
[20:32] Elias
    We can continue tomorrow.
[20:34] Chise
    Yes.
[20:35] (A)
    It's way past tea time, too.
[20:38] (B)
    Stare...
[20:40] Chise
    Silky.
[20:41] Chise
    You made tea for us?
[20:47] Chise
    Sorry.
[20:48] Chise
    I'll have it with dinner.
[20:55] Ruth
    You sure you want to make
    a promise like that?
[20:58] Chise
    I'll... I'll do my best.
[21:00] Elias
    All right, it's time for dinner.
[21:05] Ruth
    It's going to be chicken stewed with tomatoes,
[21:08] Ruth
    tomato compote, and dried tomato muffins.
[21:15] Elias
    There sure are plenty of
    tomatoes during the summer.
[21:28] Elias
    Chise, what are you going to
    do with that picture book?
[21:32] Chise
    I think I'll give it another
    proper read through.
[21:37] Chise
    I feel like I can read it
    differently this time.
[21:45] Elias
    If you do, would you talk
    to me about it again?
[21:52] Chise
    Yes.
[23:29] Elias
    There's more to the "Mayoiga" story.
[23:32] Chise
    There's more?
[23:34] Elias
    Anyone who takes something home from
    that house is met with good fortune.
[23:44] Chise
    That might be true.
