[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.
SIGN The Lonely Little Star
[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.

[14:30] Mom
I shouldn't have had you.
[14:35] (Flashback) Chise
Mom.
[14:37] (Flashback) Chise
Mom!
[14:40] (Flashback) Chise
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!
[15:20] (Flashback) (A)
Please!
[15:21] (Flashback) (B)
Wait until I'm done.
[15:23] (Flashback) (A)
No!
[15:24] (Flashback) Mom
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!
[16:01] (Flashback) Mom
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?
[18:46] (Flashback) (B)
Where are your parents?
[18:47] (Flashback) (A)
You're bleeding.
[18:50] (Flashback) Chise
I'm sorry.
[18:53] (Flashback) (A)
Hey, wait!
[18:55] Chise
I'm sorry.
[18:57] Chise
I'm sorry.
[18:58] Chise
I'm sorry.
[18:58] Chise
I'm sorry.
[19:00] ---
I'm sorry!
[20:07] (Flashback) (A)
Is someone there?
[20:12] (Flashback) (A)
Are you okay?
[20:15] (Flashback) Chise
I-I'm sorry.
[20:17] (Flashback) Chise
I'll leave immediately.
[20:53] (Flashback) (A)
Don't worry.
[20:54] (Flashback) (A)
Those creepy things can't come in here.
[20:57] (Flashback) Chise
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.
[21:18] ---
[22:50] (A)
The young man stood amidst
the huge collection of books.
[22:55] (A)
What does the girl dream of in her nap?
[23:00] (A)
Maybe I should just take her away.

Welcome to the library of the forest.
[00:21] Miura
Huh?
[00:22] Miura
Umm...
[00:24] Miura
I'm the magician of the forest.
[00:28] Miura
No, hmm...
[00:30] Miura
Let's see, that's not right.
[00:32] Miura
I'm just trying to make
you feel comfortable.
[00:40] Miura
Those guys won't come inside.
[00:43] Chise
You can see them?
[00:46] Miura
Sure.
[00:47] Chise
Why?
[00:48] Miura
Can you tell me why you can see them?
[00:54] Miura
Besides, none of the wicked
ones can get in here.
[00:58] Miura
Or rather, I don't let them in.
[01:05] Miura
Everyone's busy with their books.
[01:07] Miura
No one's going to hurt you.
[01:10] Miura
You do understand, I hope?
[01:12] Miura
Have a seat. Make yourself at home.
[01:20] Miura
Let's see if I have a good one.

It's been a very long time
since anyone's come here.
[01:28] Miura
I'm so happy.
[01:32] Miura
I hope I have a book you might like.
[01:38] Miura
Or, should I say, a book that likes you?
[01:47] Miura
Hey, what's wrong?
[01:51] Chise
I'm sorry for barging in.
[01:53] Miura
You don't need to worry about that.

Hey.
[02:03] Miura
Give me a second, just a second!
[02:06] Miura
Where is it...
[02:07] Miura
It should be here somewhere.
[02:08] Miura
This'll do.
[02:10] Miura
What's your name?
[02:12] Miura
My name is Riichi.
[02:14] Miura

[02:16] Miura
Well?

That's a beautiful name.

Here.

[02:34] Miura
It's yours.
[02:37] Miura
You're going to need it to come back.
[02:39] Miura
Make sure you don't lose it.
[02:44] Miura
Listen carefully.
[02:45] Miura
You're going to run straight through there.
[02:48] Miura
Now, run.

That was so much fun.
[03:05] ---
I'm beat.
[03:08] (A)
Why don't you put your phone down
when someone's talking to you?
[03:11] (B)
Hold on.
[03:13] (A)
Come on.
[03:14] (B)
I said wait.
[03:15] (A)
You always say that.
[03:16] (A)
You never listen to me.
[03:18] (B)
Huh?
[03:19] (A)
Do you know what I go through every day?
[03:21] (B)
I know, I know.
[03:22] (A)
No, you don't!
[03:25] (B)
I'm tired, too, you know.
[03:28] (B)
You mean the girl, right?
[03:29] (A)
I'm the one taking care of her!
[03:32] (A)
You're the one who took
her in just to be nice.
[03:35] (B)
Well, so did you.
[03:36] (A)
That's because you...
[03:55] (A)
Don't touch that.
[03:56] (A)
Don't bother.
[03:58] (A)

[04:07] Daiki
Why are you here?
[04:10] Daiki
Go away.
[04:12] Daiki
It's your fault that Mom's...

May I read some books?
[07:22] Miura
Of course.

You have your library card, right?

Listen,

as long as you have this card,

You can come whenever you want,

Only one at a time, however.

Mind those rules, and you can

You're a real bookworm now, huh?

Oh, no.

Even after you've read so many?

Well, I liked all of them.

Yeah?

What's that book like?

That's...

It's always there.

What was that book like?
[11:39] Chise
Which one should I do?
[11:43] Chise
Hey,
[11:45] Chise
I love reading the last page
of a book more than anything.
[12:16] Miura
How could this be?

You have to leave for today.

So...

Won't your mom be worried if
you don't come home soon?
[13:02] Chise
No one worries about me.
[13:06] Miura
That's not true.
[13:08] Chise
Auntie left home.
[13:10] Chise
It's all my fault, though...
[13:13] Chise
I keep noticing the weird things,
[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.

That's unusual.

That you'd be so insistent.

I was a child.

Are you all right?
[14:08] Chise
Thanks, Ruth.
[14:10] Chise
I'm all right.

As long as this isn't hard on you.

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?

[20:47] Miura
Hurry, run!
[20:49] Chise
Miura-san...
[20:53] Miura
Hurry!
[21:06] (Flashback) Miura
Good morning.
[21:10] (Flashback) Mayumi
Morning.
[21:12] (Flashback) Mayumi
I'll lend you this.
[21:16] (Flashback) Miura
M-Mayumi-san...
[21:18] (Flashback) Mayumi
Promise you'll give it back.
[21:21] Miura
Mayumi-san...
[21:24] Miura
Mayumi-san...
[21:26] Miura
Mayumi-san...
[21:35] Miura
Are you all right?
[21:40] Miura
Can you move?
[21:46] Miura
Don't worry.
[21:48] Miura
They're gone now.
[21:51] Chise
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.
[22:10] Chise
Miura-san.
[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...
[23:58] Chise
Mayumi-san.

SIGN Those Awaiting a Star
Part 3
[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.
[06:11] Miura
Please.
[06:26] Miura
Now, hurry.
[06:36] Miura
No one will ever wander into here again.
SIGN Niikura
[07:49] Chise
Um...
[07:50] Chise
Are you Niikura Mayumi-san?
[07:54] Minimayumi
Um...
[07:56] Minimayumi
My great-grandma?
[07:58] Minimayumi
You're from this neighborhood, right?
[08:00] Minimayumi
Grandma Mayumi's in the hospital right now.
[08:05] Minimayumi
You know the huge hospital by the river?
[08:07] Minimayumi
She's there.
[08:09] Minimayumi
What did you need?
[08:11] Minimayumi
We just got here yesterday.
[08:13] Minimayumi
We don't really know our way around.
[08:14] Minimayumi
If you need something...
[08:16] Minimayumi
Hey!
[08:25] (A)
Niikura-san?
[08:26] (A)
With all due respect,
how are you two related?
[08:31] (A)
I'm sorry, I can't tell you her
room number unless you're related.
[08:37] (B)
Niikura-san?
[08:39] (B)
I think her grandchildren's families
were coming to visit today.
[08:43] (A)
Oh, really?
[08:45] (A)
Come on, then.
[08:47] (A)
Come.
SIGN Niikura Mayumi
[08:57] (A)
Niikura-san.
[08:58] (A)
You're out of bed again.
[09:00] Mayumi
I'm so bored.
[09:02] Mayumi
I've read all the books I brought with me.
[09:06] (A)
Your great-granddaughter's here.
[09:08] Mayumi
Already?
[09:10] Mayumi
She's here early.
[09:21] Mayumi
Weren't you going to eat lunch first?
[09:28] Mayumi
You're...
[09:43] Mayumi
What can I do for you?
[09:50] Chise
Are you Niikura Mayumi-san?
[09:53] Mayumi
I am.
SIGN Spring Will Be Missed
[10:07] ---
My...
[10:13] Mayumi
This book... Where did you...
[10:37] Mayumi
There's no mistake.
[10:40] Mayumi
This is my book.
[10:43] Mayumi
This is our book.
[10:47] Mayumi
Are you his granddaughter?
[10:50] Mayumi
His great-granddaughter?
[10:54] Mayumi
Is he doing well?
[11:00] Chise
I'm sorry.
[11:02] Chise
I'm sorry.
[11:04] Chise
I'm sorry.
[11:07] Mayumi
I'm so happy.
[11:11] Mayumi
I'm really happy.
[11:15] Mayumi
He never did come to me,
[11:20] Mayumi
but he did fulfill his promise.
[11:26] Mayumi
He gave this book back to me.
[11:31] Mayumi
So I'm happy.
[11:35] Mayumi
Thank you.
[11:40] Mayumi
Let me get a good look at your face.
[11:45] Mayumi
Come over here.
[11:50] Mayumi
What's your name?
[11:55] Chise
Hatori Chise.
[12:05] Mayumi
What a beautiful name.
[12:18] Mayumi
Thank you, Hatori Chise-san.

Grandma, shouldn't you be asleep?
[12:48] Micromayumi female
Grandmama, look!
[12:50] Micromayumi female
I got second rank in swimming!
[12:53] Micromayumi male
I got third rank!
[12:54] Micromayumi female
Hurry up and get better, Grandmama.
[12:56] ---
Um, hey...
[12:57] Micromayumi male
Let's go to the pool.
[12:59] Minimayumi
Did a girl come by?
[13:01] Minimayumi
Red hair, about this tall.
[13:13] (A)
Ow.
[13:14] (A)
What was that for?
[13:15] (B)
Let's go already.
[13:17] (A)
Hey, are we really going
to the forest today?
[13:19] (B)
Are you scared?
[13:21] (A)
It's not my fault if we get lost.
[13:24] (B)
We won't!
SIGN The Lonely Little Star
[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
There are so many stars out there.
[16:09] (Flashback) Miura
I truly believe you'll meet a child
of a star who will light your world.
[16:18] (Flashback) Chise
Really?
[16:20] (Flashback) Miura
Life is a lot longer than you think.
[16:26] (Flashback) Miura
Live your best, and you will...
[16:43] Chise
I can't believe that.
[16:52] (A)
Yeah.
[16:53] (A)
We're ready when you are.
[17:04] Miura
I truly believe you'll meet a child
of a star who will light your world.
[17:09] Mom
Boys, can you come help?
SIGN The Lonely Little Star
[17:11] (A)
Okay.
[17:14] Miura
You will.
[17:17] Chise
I can't believe this book
is here, after I let it go.
[17:22] (A)
Show me more.
[17:23] (B)
Show me.
[17:28] Chise
Elias?
[17:29] Elias
Chise, may I?
[17:31] ---
Huh? Um...
[17:39] Chise
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.
