SIGN    Hatori
[01:35] (A)
    You're not going to regret
     this later, are you?
[01:41] Chise
    I won't.
SIGN    Hatori Chise
[01:53] (A)
    With that, the contract is complete.
[01:57] (A)
    Hatori Chise-san.
[02:10] (A)
    Can you breathe all right?
[02:31] (A)
    Let's go.
[02:44] (B)
    I'd heard rumors, but I've
    never seen one before.
[02:47] Chise
    There are things that are
    neither human nor inanimate.
[02:53] Chise
    They're different from the
    ones that I always see.
[02:56] Chise
    I never knew things like this existed.
[03:11] Chise
    I don't care.
[03:13] Chise
    I just want somewhere to go home to.
[03:16] (A)
    This is the product you've
    all been waiting for.
[03:19] (A)
    A rare item, even among
    our current offerings.
[03:23] (A)
    Starting at 500,000.
[03:26] (B)
    1,100,000!
[03:27] (C)
    1,500,000!
[03:28] (D)
    1,800,000!
[03:30] (E)
    2,000,000!
[03:31] (Z)
    Look there.
[03:32] (Y)
    Why is he here?
[03:33] (F)
    2,250,000!
[03:34] (Z)
    I thought he hated being around people.
[03:35] (A)
    2,250,000!
[03:36] (A)
    2,250,000!
[03:37] (A)
    Anyone else?
[03:42] (A)
    Sir...
[03:49] Elias
    5,000,000.
[03:56] Elias
    It's decided.
[04:03] Elias
    I will make you my apprentice.
[04:13] (A)
    What's the deal with that creep?
[04:16] (B)
    Dunno.
[04:18] (A)
    Prepare a reception room.
[04:21] (B)
    Wait...
[04:22] (A)
    We will be receiving five million pounds.
[04:25] Chise
    Who is he, to want to spend
    so much money on me?
[04:26] (A)
    Age, fifteen.
[04:27] Chise
    Ethnicity, Japanese.
[04:29] (A)
    She's docile, so she should
    be easy to discipline.
[04:33] (A)
    I never thought I'd see you at this auction.
[04:36] (A)
    However, we must ask you
     to follow the rules.
[04:40] (A)
    Please don't wander onto the stage—
[04:41] Elias
    I don't need your lecturing nor small talk.
[04:45] Elias
    You, come.
[04:51] Elias
    You don't need to keep your head down.
[04:53] Elias
    Stand tall, and look forward.
[04:56] Elias
    Understood?
[04:58] Chise
    Yes.
[05:01] Elias
    I'll be borrowing your lobby.
[05:03] (A)
    By all means.
[05:12] (B)
    What is he, a monster?
[05:15] (A)
    He'll hear you.
[05:17] (A)
    Be quiet.
[05:19] (A)
    He's neither a conman nor a sorcerer.
[05:22] (A)
    He's the real deal, a rarity
     in recent times.
[05:48] (B)
    I can't believe we let him have that.
[05:51] (C)
    That Sleigh Beggy...
[05:54] (C)
    Sleigh Beggy?
[05:56] Elias
    So you can see them.
[06:09] Chise
    Y-You mean me?
[06:11] Elias
    You're the only one here with me.
[06:15] Elias
    What's your name?
[06:24] Chise
    Chise.
[06:25] Chise
    Hatori Chise.
[06:28] Elias
    My name is Elias.
[06:30] Elias
    Elias Ainsworth.
[06:34] Elias
    Nice to meet you, my puppy.
[06:47] Elias
    It appears that you possess the sight.
[06:51] Elias
    How fortunate.
[06:53] Chise
    Fortunate...?
[06:55] (Flashback) (A)
    She's too much of a burden to take in.
[06:57] (Flashback) (B)
    What would people think if we gave
    her to an orphanage, though?
[07:00] (Flashback) (C)
    She's being weird again.
[07:02] (Flashback) (D)
    Creepy.
[07:03] (Flashback) (E)
    She scares me.
[07:06] (Flashback) (F)
    What a brat.
[07:14] Chise
    No...
[07:17] Chise
    I've never once been fortunate!
[07:22] Elias
    Then let's see to it that you
    feel fortunate someday.
[07:31] Elias
    I can't have you being so helpless.
[07:37] Elias
    Dolls are fine, but I paid
     good money for you.
[07:45] Elias
    You need to make yourself worth looking at.
[07:49] Chise
    Um...
[07:51] Elias
    Now, close your eyes and stand close to me.
[07:55] Elias
    This may make you dizzy.
[07:59] Elias
    Nettles in the shadow...
[08:03] Elias
    Ring of holly...
[08:06] Elias
    Thoroughly entangle the
    branches as a spider's web.
[08:13] Chise
    Thorns?
[08:18] Elias
    You can open your eyes now.
[08:35] Elias
    As expected,
[08:36] Elias
    we made it in one leap.
[08:39] Elias
    This is my home.
[08:41] Elias
    It's also your home, as of today.
[08:45] Chise
    W-Wait a minute.
[08:47] Chise
    Where are we?
[08:48] Chise
    How did we get here from
    inside the building?
[08:52] Elias
    This is west of London.
[08:54] Elias
    A rural area on the outskirts of England.
[08:56] Chise
    E-E-England?
[08:59] Chise
    And what am I an "apprentice" of?
[09:01] Elias
    Oh, here.
[09:03] Elias
    You won't need that anymore.
[09:10] Elias
    You've become a mage's apprentice.
[09:14] Chise
    A mage?
[09:18] Elias
    We're an endangered,
    old-fashioned kind, mind you.
[09:26] Elias
    I welcome you as my
    apprentice, Sleigh Beggy.
[09:31] Elias
    Or rather... Chise.
[09:45] Chise
    No, no, no way...
[09:46] Chise
    I can do it myself.
[09:47] Chise
    I know how to take a bath.
[09:47] Elias
    You don't know how to use it, do you?
[09:50] Elias
    Besides, you're filthy, so I'll wash you.
[09:55] Elias
    Come now.
[09:56] Elias
    You're not a kitten. Stop fussing.
[10:01] Elias
    You need to soak to your shoulders,
    or you'll never be warm.
[10:03] Chise
    He saw everything.
[10:06] Elias
    Come out when you're warm.
[10:23] Chise
    I didn't think I'd ever
    get a proper bath again.
[10:33] (Flashback) (A)
    If you ever feel like giving up on life,
[10:36] (Flashback) (A)
    why don't you try giving yourself
    to someone who wants you?
[10:56] (A)
    Well, well, I thought I smelled
     something delicious.
[11:00] (A)
    It's an adorable human girl.
[11:02] Chise
    Fairies?
[11:13] (A)
    I suppose we'd be fairies, in human terms.
[11:17] (A)
    You better not use such
     unrefined words for us, though.
[11:21] (B)
    That's right!
[11:22] (B)
    Call us your neighbors.
[11:23] (C)
    Or your good friends.
[11:25] (A)
    Hey, you're a Sleigh Beggy, aren't you?
[11:28] (A)
    The Thorn Mage is so silly, taking
    in a Sleigh Beggy as his apprentice.
[11:34] (A)
    Honey wine, more valuable than
    gold coins of ancient times,
[11:38] (A)
    more precious than any flower
    of the land of fairies.
[11:41] (B)
    Adorable.
[11:42] (C)
    Adorable.
[11:43] (C)
    Our robin.
[11:44] (A)
    If you're going to become a mage, we'll
    give you all the help you need, my beloved.
[11:54] Chise
    Beloved?
[11:55] Elias
    Chise.
[11:57] Elias
    Are you all right?
[11:58] Elias
    You're not overheated?
[12:00] Chise
    Yes, I'm fine,
[12:02] Chise
    so you don't need to come in.
[12:09] Chise
    They're gone.
[12:17] Elias
    Have something to eat and
    drink so you can relax.
[12:40] Chise
    It's like they really do welcome me here.
[12:44] Elias
    You look like you have a lot of questions.
[12:47] Elias
    I'll try to answer your questions.
[12:49] Elias
    It'll be like a bedtime story.
[12:51] Chise
    Um, I saw fairies...
[12:54] Elias
    Ah, the ariels.
[12:56] Elias
    They must have greeted you.
[12:59] Elias
    They're attracted to anything new.
[13:02] Chise
    I see.
[13:05] Chise
    Is it true that you're a mage?
[13:09] Elias
    It is true.
[13:21] Chise
    So when you say "apprentice"...
[13:24] Elias
    I mean "apprentice," my puppy.
[13:29] Elias
    Sleigh Beggies are rare.
[13:32] Elias
    I was very lucky today.
[13:36] Chise
    What is this "Sleigh Beggy"?
[13:41] Elias
    If I had to choose a word, a queen bee.
[13:45] Elias
    You—or, your kind, Sleigh Beggies,
[13:50] Elias
    are capable of attracting and
    binding all manner of things.
[13:55] Elias
    Specifically, fairies and mysteries.
[13:58] Elias
    They're worker bees that are drawn to you
    whether the queen bee can see them or not.
[14:04] Chise
    Even if she can't see them?
[14:07] Elias
    It seems you can see them, but that's
     not common among your kind.
[14:13] Elias
    They bring fortune and misfortune
    upon the queen bee.
[14:20] Chise
    Misfortune?
[14:21] Elias
    Their kindness and favors don't
    necessarily benefit a human.
[14:27] Elias
    However, to be loved by them means
    that you'll never be without assistance.
[14:32] Elias
    You need their help to do magic,
    so it's an important trait to have.
[14:39] Elias
    You'll surely become a great mage.
[14:45] Elias
    That doesn't mean I'll be
    ordering you around, though.
[14:49] Chise
    But I don't have any right to refuse, do I?
[14:54] Elias
    Well, no.
[14:56] Elias
    You're free to reconsider, though.
[14:59] Elias
    Becoming a mage is just
    one path of countless many.
[15:05] Elias
    You're like family to me now.
[15:08] Elias
    You can depend on me.
[15:12] Chise
    Family?
[15:16] Elias
    This is an adder stone.
[15:19] Elias
    The hole formed naturally
    at the bottom of a river.
[15:22] Elias
    It'll protect you.
[15:24] Elias
    Have it.
[15:33] Elias
    Silver.
[15:37] Elias
    You must be tired,
[15:38] Elias
    so you should turn in for the day.
[15:41] Elias
    Would you please show her to her room?
[16:01] Chise
    I even get a proper place to sleep.
[16:08] Chise
    Family...
[16:13] Chise
    It smells strange.
[16:16] Chise
    Is it the scent of grass?
[16:22] (A)
    Chise.
[16:24] (A)
    Chise.
[16:26] (A)
    Chise.
[16:30] (A)
    Chise!
[16:35] Chise
    You're the... um, neighbor.
[16:39] (A)
    Hey, why don't we go for a midnight walk?
[16:42] (A)
    There's a nice forest nearby.
[16:45] Chise
    But...
[16:46] (A)
    Come on, it'll be fine!
[16:48] (A)
    Just for a little bit.
[16:50] (A)
    Take a walk, tire yourself
    out a little and sleep well.
[16:54] (A)
    Let's go.
[17:08] Elias
    What a hopeless child.
[17:10] Elias
    Well, it'll make for a good lesson.
[17:23] Chise
    It's kind of bright.
[17:25] (A)
    It's the trail we leave
    after we've passed by.
[17:28] (A)
    You can see that, too, huh?
[17:31] (A)
    Hey, Chise, what's your family like?
[17:35] Chise
    I don't have one.
[17:37] Chise
    I was taken in by a lot
    of different relatives.
[17:40] (A)
    Were those people kind?
[17:46] (A)
    Chise?
[17:49] Chise
    I might not have come here
    if I'd come to love them.
[17:54] (A)
    Oh?
[18:06] Chise
    Hey, we've walked pretty far.
[18:10] (A)
    It's fine.
[18:12] (A)
    We gotta go even further, if anything.
[18:15] (A)
    After all, you don't need
    to go back anymore.
[18:21] (A)
    We finally duped the Thorn Mage.
[18:25] Chise
    What are you talking about?
[18:26] (A)
    I need to take you back to our land,
    or the others will get angry at me.
[18:32] (A)
    It'll be a lot easier than
    living in the human world.
[18:36] (A)
    Don't worry.
[18:37] (A)
    Hey, it just happens to be open.
[18:39] (A)
    The Fairy Kingdom is past here.
[18:41] (A)
    A super fun world, just for you and us.
[18:45] Chise
    W-Wait...
[18:48] (A)
    Let's go.
[18:52] Chise
    I-I'm going back.
[18:54] (A)
    Oh? Back where?
[18:56] (A)
    You don't even have family waiting for you.
[19:01] (A)
    You might as well live a happy,
    giddy life on this side.
[19:10] Chise
    You're right.
[19:13] Chise
    I have no one.
[19:27] (A)
    What's wrong, Chise?
[19:30] Chise
    I can't.
[19:33] Chise
    I have to go home.
[19:37] (A)
    Why?
[19:38] (A)
    There's no reason you have
    to go back to that house.
[19:42] Chise
    No one ever told me that I could be there.
[19:47] Chise
    But that man told me...
[19:51] Chise
    Even if I'm just a toy,
[19:53] Chise
    even if he'll throw me out
    when he's bored of me,
[19:57] Chise
    he told me I was family,
    even if it was just that once.
[20:03] Chise
    So...
[20:06] Elias
    It looks like my puppy has already
    learned where her den is.
[20:13] Chise
    Elias.
[20:14] (A)
    Curses! How did you know where we were?
[20:17] Elias
    She has a collar and a bell.
[20:21] Elias
    Be gone.
[20:23] Elias
    I'll forgive you just this once.
[20:25] Elias
    Next time, you'll be salamander food.
[20:27] (A)
    Let's see if a half-baked loser
    like you can protect our robin.
[20:32] Elias
    You don't need to remind me.
[20:35] (A)
    You can change your mind
    whenever you want, Chise.
[20:45] Elias
    Chise.
[20:50] Elias
    That was a good experience, was it not?
[20:53] Elias
    Many of them make a habit of
    seducing us with sweet words.
[20:58] Elias
    Be careful from now on.
[21:00] Chise
    I'm... I'm sorry.
[21:03] Elias
    No, I should have told you right away.
[21:09] Elias
    That's my duty to you, after all.
[21:14] Elias
    You're my apprentice.
[21:17] Elias
    Depend on me.
[21:18] Chise
    He's warm.
[21:20] Chise
    But it seems like he's tense—
[21:25] Chise
    Wh-What are you doing?
[21:27] Elias
    It's easy to get lost
    in the forest at night.
[21:31] Elias
    Let's go home like this.
[21:33] Elias
    To our home.
[21:39] Elias
    We'll need to fix up your
    arm when we get home.
[21:42] Elias
    I can't have my future wife be scarred.
[21:50] Chise
    Wife?
[21:52] Chise
    Who is who's...
[21:54] Elias
    Oh, have I not told you yet?
[21:56] Elias
    I bought you to be my apprentice, of course,
[22:08] Elias
    but I also hope to make you my bride.
[22:18] Chise
    Pardon?
[23:55] Elias
    Shall we prepare for our honeymoon?
[23:58] Chise
    Huh?
[23:59] Chise
    A girl, departing for
    London with a sorcerer.
[24:02] Chise
    Unfamiliar towns, unfamiliar people.
[24:05] Chise
    The world offers a kind hand
    to a lonely girl, but...
