[02:29] Elias
    Take Chise to the land of dragons?
[02:33] Merituuli
    Yes.
[02:34] Merituuli
    Lindel-sama heard a rumor that the
    Robin there has trouble using magic.
[02:43] Merituuli
    So he insists that you make a wand soon.
[02:47] Chise
    A wand?
[02:48] Elias
    It's a tool for conveying your
    intentions to the fae.
[02:52] Merituuli
    He would like you to come see him, Robin.
[02:56] Elias
    I've been out all the time lately, though.
[02:59] Merituuli
    Oh, don't worry about that.
[03:02] Merituuli
    He wants the Robin to come alone.
[03:06] Elias
    Chise? By herself?
[03:07] Elias
    "I want to spend time with my
    granddaughter, not with you," he says.
[03:12] Merituuli
    That old bastard...
[03:13] Chise
    Granddaughter?
[03:14] Chise
    So Elias is his son?
[03:17] Elias
    It seems he wants to talk about your wand,
    though, so I suppose it's all right.
[03:21] Elias
    Take care.
[03:26] Elias
    Would you rather not?
[03:27] Chise
    No, but by myself?
[03:31] Ruth
    You have me.
[03:32] Chise
    Oh, right.
[03:34] Dragon
    Are you done talking?
[03:36] Dragon
    You sure haven't changed at all.
[03:38] Chise
    Um...
[03:39] Dragon
    Come on, have you forgotten me?
[03:42] Dragon
    We talked, remember?
[03:44] Dragon
    You wouldn't fly with me, though.
[03:52] Merituuli
    Dragons grow up in various ways.
[03:55] ---
    I wanted to be big enough for you
    to be able to ride me, so it works out.
[04:01] Chise
    Yeah?
[04:14] Chise
    Thanks, Silky.
[04:23] Chise
    Okay, I'll see you soon.
[04:25] Elias
    Take care.
[04:27] Elias
    It's cold over there.
[04:28] Elias
    Don't freeze.
[04:30] Chise
    Okay.
[04:34] Chise
    Elias?
[04:36] Elias
    Yes?
[04:39] Chise
    It's nothing.
[04:40] Merituuli
    Let's go.
[04:45] Merituuli
    Hang on tight, so you don't fall off!
[04:58] Chise
    What's that?
[04:59] Merituuli
    It's a cloaking spell.
[05:01] Merituuli
    No one will find us now.
[05:03] Merituuli
    It's a lot quicker than
    swimming through the sea.
[05:07] Chise
    The sea?
[05:08] Merituuli
    I'm a selkie.
[05:10] Merituuli
    I'm a citizen of the great seas,
    with both a human and seal form.
[05:57] Dragon
    Are you okay?
[05:58] Dragon
    We'll be there as soon as
    we get through the wind.
[06:00] Dragon
    Hang on a little longer.
[06:03] Chise
    Okay.
[06:19] Ruth
    I'm sure Elias will be fine.
[06:21] Chise
    Yeah.
[06:32] Merituuli
    Lindel-sama!
[06:34] Merituuli
    Lindel-sama, I did what you asked me to.
[06:38] ---
    Yes, you did well. Very good.
[06:41] Chise
    Hello, Lindel-san.
[06:43] Lindel
    Chise.
[06:44] Lindel
    Long time no see.
[06:46] Lindel
    You look quite well.
[06:50] Lindel
    And you've put on some weight.
[06:52] Lindel
    Good, good.
[06:53] Lindel
    I'm glad to see you've found a good family.
[06:57] Chise
    Lindel-san, where did you get those clothes?
[06:59] Lindel
    Oh, I went shopping in town.
[07:03] Lindel
    I'm very handsome, aren't I?
[07:05] Chise
    He kind of resembles Elias.
[07:07] Lindel
    Come on, guys, say hi.
[07:12] Chise
    I'll be in your care.
[07:19] Lindel
    I didn't get to explain last time.
[07:22] Lindel
    The land of dragons was established as
    a nesting ground by the first administrator,
[07:27] Lindel
    for the few dragons that remained
    scattered throughout the world.
[07:31] Chise
    So you weren't the one who made it, then?
[07:35] Lindel
    I used to be a simple nomad.
[07:38] Lindel
    I didn't even have a name,
    until my master gave me one.
[07:43] Lindel
    All right, we're here.
[08:05] Lindel
    Nevin's tree.
[08:13] Lindel
    I'll be preparing supper.
[08:16] Lindel
    Chise.
[08:19] Lindel
    It's your wand. You've gotta cut it yourself.
[08:27] Ruth
    Are you okay?
[08:28] Chise
    Y-Yeah.
[08:34] Ruth
    What is wrong with you?!
[08:38] Ruth
    Who falls without even trying
    to break their fall?!
[08:41] Chise
    Ow.
[08:42] Chise
    Sorry.
[08:43] Merituuli
    You're so overprotective.
[08:45] Merituuli
    It wouldn't kill her to get
    to know the rocks a little.
[08:49] Ruth
    Shut up!
[08:50] Ruth
    Should I go?
[08:51] Chise
    No, I'm going to be the one using it.
[08:55] Chise
    I'll see what I can do.
[09:05] Elias
    Thanks, Silver.
[09:09] Elias
    Boy, it's quiet.
[09:13] Elias
    Even though that girl is not very talkative.
[09:17] Elias
    The air feels terribly cold.
SIGN    Hello, Mr. Ainsworth.
SIGN    My name is Adolf Stroud. I'm with the College administration.
[09:32] Elias
    College?
SIGN    I'll get straight to business.
SIGN    I'd like to speak in depth about the future of the human child.
[09:55] Lindel
    Reindeer soup.
[09:57] Lindel
    I imagine this is your first time having it.
[09:59] Chise
    Yes.
[10:05] Chise
    It's good.
[10:07] Lindel
    You've got scrapes all over.
[10:09] Lindel
    Let me see.
[10:19] Lindel
    My hands are what's called healing hands.
[10:22] Lindel
    As long as you aren't mortally
    wounded, I can heal you on the spot.
[10:25] Lindel
    There used to be more of us, before.
[10:29] Lindel
    But not many have been born in
    the past few hundred years.
[10:38] Chise
    How long have you been alive, Lindel-san?
[10:41] Chise
    Are other mages long-lived, too?
[10:45] Merituuli
    Oh, that's why you were
    making such a fuss earlier.
[10:48] Lindel
    That idiot!
[10:51] Lindel
    He hasn't explained anything!
[10:53] Lindel
    What does he...
[10:54] Chise
    Err, sorry, I should have asked Elias.
[11:01] Lindel
    Chise, the reason I brought you
    here alone is because I'm worried.
[11:07] Lindel
    He seems to want to tame you,
    as one would a reindeer.
[11:13] Lindel
    And Chise, you seem to be content with that.
[11:24] Chise
    The person who gave birth to me
    told me that they shouldn't have.
[11:33] Chise
    My mother didn't need me,
    so she ran away. She died.
[11:39] Chise
    I think my brother and father
    ran away from me, too.
[11:46] Chise
    Elias is the only who's kept me nearby.
[11:53] Chise
    That's why I don't ask him
    anything he doesn't say.
[11:58] Chise
    I want to be complacent.
[12:05] Lindel
    Though it doesn't appear that way at all.
[12:13] Lindel
    I'll tell you an interesting bedtime story.
[12:18] Chise
    An interesting story?
[12:20] Lindel
    I suppose I'll answer your question, too.
[12:26] Lindel
    But, half of it is as punishment for that
    bastard, for saddening my granddaughter.
[12:33] Lindel
    Long ago, when the world was still dark,
[12:36] Lindel
    before the power of steam, and before even
    the power of the old, earthen oil...
[12:42] Lindel
    We mages were all aware that
    we were not normal people.
[12:52] Lindel
    For we saw magical creatures, and worked
    miracles that the ordinary person could not.
[12:59] Lindel
    And at times, we lived very long lives.
[13:05] Lindel
    We don't know why we're so long-lived,
    or possess abilities humans do not.
[13:11] Lindel
    It may simply be that fate
    wanted us to be born so.
[13:16] Lindel
    But those who were not satisfied
    continued to seek an answer.
[13:21] Lindel
    "Why are we so?"
[13:24] Lindel
    "Is there a duty that we must fulfill?"
[13:29] Lindel
    Many of our kind perished in their search.
[13:40] Lindel
    I wandered alone, sick of that way of life.
[13:46] Lindel
    One night, there were wolves, and I had
    no choice but to stand watch all night.
[13:54] Lindel
    However, the wolves never came.
[13:59] Lindel
    Instead, it came.
[14:04] Lindel
    It came as certain as night on two legs.
[14:17] (Flashback) Lindel
    You...
[14:24] (Flashback) Lindel
    What's the matter?
[14:27] (Flashback) Elias
    I'm hungry.
[14:31] (Flashback) Lindel
    Hey!
[14:46] (Flashback) Lindel
    You're awake, huh?
[14:49] (Flashback) Lindel
    You were asleep all night.
[14:51] (Flashback) Lindel
    You're so huge, it was a pain to carry you.
[14:58] (Flashback) Lindel
    Aren't you going to eat?
[15:00] (Flashback) Lindel
    Where did you come from?
[15:03] (Flashback) Elias
    I don't know.
[15:05] (Flashback) Elias
    When I came to, I was in
    the forest, and I was walking.
[15:10] (Flashback) Elias
    Avoiding people, I walked, walked,
    and walked, until I was here.
[15:16] (Flashback) Elias
    I'm tired.
[15:24] (Flashback) Lindel
    What's wrong?
[15:26] (Flashback) Elias
    Nothing.
[15:29] (Flashback) Lindel
    You look to be an apparition of some kind.
[15:33] (Flashback) Lindel
    But you wear flesh, like a living creature.
[15:36] (Flashback) Lindel
    What are you?
[15:39] (Flashback) Elias
    I don't know.
[15:43] (Flashback) Lindel
    Well, let's go see my master.
[15:47] (Flashback) Lindel
    She's a strange one.
[15:50] (Flashback) Lindel
    She may be at the other side of
    the world. She may be right there.
[15:54] (Flashback) Lindel
    She may be alive a hundred years
    from now or a hundred years ago.
[15:58] (Flashback) Lindel
    Being a meddler, she may provide guidance.
[16:03] (Flashback) Lindel
    I'd imagine it would be less painful than
    aimlessly wandering through the wilds.
[16:08] (Flashback) Elias
    Who are you?
[16:09] (Flashback) Lindel
    I'm Lindel.
[16:11] (Flashback) Lindel
    The ordinary people call us "mages."
[16:20] (Flashback) Elias
    What is that?
[16:22] (Flashback) Lindel
    An ancient technique for finding the missing.
[16:25] (Flashback) Lindel
    Gather some spruce, tie it in
    red string, and set it loose.
[16:29] (Flashback) Lindel
    The spruce covering the ground is
    the dining table of the forest god.
[16:32] (Flashback) Lindel
    We ask for their help and for directions.
[16:36] (Flashback) Lindel
    My guide, take us past the
    fog, to the one we seek.
[16:54] (Flashback) Lindel
    The fog is thickening.
[16:55] (Flashback) Lindel
    Stay with me.
[17:23] (Flashback) Elias
    Water.
[17:24] (Flashback) Lindel
    The sea.
[17:25] (Flashback) Lindel
    Have a taste.
[17:26] (Flashback) Lindel
    It's fun.
[17:36] (Flashback) Lindel
    That's my master's home.
[17:50] (Flashback) Lindel
    Master.
[17:50] (Flashback) Lindel
    Rahab.
[17:51] (Flashback) Lindel
    Are you home?
[17:56] (Flashback) Rahab
    Is that Lindel?
[17:58] (Flashback) Rahab
    I don't see your face here often.
[18:02] (Flashback) Rahab
    A pity, since your name's derived
    from that of the tree of gatherings.
[18:04] (Flashback) Lindel
    That name was your choice, Master.
[18:06] (Flashback) Rahab
    You need to make an effort to
    interact with people more—
[18:10] (Flashback) Rahab
    Oh?
[18:10] (Flashback) Lindel
    I found him yesterday.
[18:13] (Flashback) Lindel
    I wanted you to take a look at him.
[18:18] (Flashback) Rahab
    Come in.
[18:19] (Flashback) Rahab
    Though then again, you're pretty big.
[18:23] (Flashback) Rahab
    Can you become smaller?
[18:25] (Flashback) Elias
    Smaller?
[18:26] (Flashback) Rahab
    That's right.
[18:27] (Flashback) Rahab
    About human size.
[18:28] (Flashback) Elias
    Human...
[18:34] (Flashback) Rahab
    Like this?
[18:35] (Flashback) Elias
    Yes.
[18:36] (Flashback) Elias
    Well done.
[18:38] (Flashback) Elias
    Come.
[18:46] (Flashback) Lindel
    You don't know?
[18:47] (Flashback) Rahab
    Well...
[18:49] (Flashback) Rahab
    He's as close to a spirit or fairy as you
    can get, but there's a hint of human in him.
[18:55] (Flashback) Rahab
    It would make sense if he were
    simply a human who'd gotten
[18:59] (Flashback) Rahab
    himself transformed trying
    to use black magic.
[19:02] (Flashback) Rahab
    But this seems more like...
[19:05] (Flashback) Rahab
    Do you remember anything about what
    happened before you started walking?
[19:11] (Flashback) Elias
    Anything I remember?
[19:18] (Flashback) Elias
    Red.
[19:19] (Flashback) Lindel
    Red?
[19:22] (Flashback) Rahab
    You don't have to force
    yourself to remember.
[19:25] (Flashback) Rahab
    Lindel, you'll take care of him.
[19:30] (Flashback) Lindel
    Huh?
[19:31] (Flashback) Lindel
    Why me?
[19:32] (Flashback) Rahab
    You've already taken pity on him once.
[19:34] (Flashback) Rahab
    You ought to take care of
    him until he's independent.
[19:37] (Flashback) Lindel
    I have to follow the reindeer.
[19:40] (Flashback) Rahab
    It's about time you took an apprentice.
[19:43] (Flashback) Rahab
    We ought not to live by ourselves.
[19:46] (Flashback) Rahab
    Remember what I taught you?
[19:48] (Flashback) Rahab
    I won't tell you to love your enemy.
[19:52] (Flashback) Rahab
    But the neighbors love us.
[19:56] (Flashback) Rahab
    We lend a staff to those
    who have lost their way.
[20:02] (Flashback) Lindel
    It's not as if we asked to be loved.
[20:05] (Flashback) Lindel
    Not me nor you.
[20:07] (Flashback) Lindel
    We might as well be cursed.
[20:10] (Flashback) Rahab
    Curses and blessings are
    the same in essence, Lindel.
[20:14] (Flashback) Rahab
    What matters is how you take it.
[20:19] (Flashback) Elias
    It's fine.
[20:20] (Flashback) Elias
    I'm going.
[20:22] (Flashback) Elias
    If you'd rather not have me
    here, I'll continue walking.
[20:27] (Flashback) Lindel
    To where?
[20:28] (Flashback) Elias
    I don't know, but you're busy, aren't you?
[20:33] (Flashback) Lindel
    I don't take apprentices.
[20:40] (Flashback) Lindel
    So from now on, you're my acquaintance.
[20:46] (Flashback) Lindel
    I would surely have to provide a weary
     acquaintance a place to sleep.
[20:51] (Flashback) Elias
    I'm not in need.
[20:52] (Flashback) Lindel
    You're one to talk. You collapsed!
[20:55] (Flashback) Rahab
    Oh my, how kind of you.
[20:57] (Flashback) Lindel
    Shut up!
[20:57] (Flashback) Rahab
    Now that that's settled, we're friends.
[21:01] (Flashback) Rahab
    What's your name?
[21:03] (Flashback) Rahab
    I'm guessing you don't have one.
[21:04] (Flashback) Rahab
    What should we call you?
[21:05] (Flashback) Lindel
    Here we go again, with Master's
    name-giving obsession.
[21:09] (Flashback) Rahab
    The gods and the fairies are all with you.
[21:14] (Flashback) Rahab
    Even if no one takes notice of you,
[21:17] (Flashback) Rahab
    even if you're sad, suffering, and crushed by
    loneliness, they will always watch over you.
[21:25] (Flashback) Rahab
    So take comfort, and save yourself.
[21:51] (Flashback) Rahab
    Elias.
SIGN    Hello? Ainsworth?
SIGN    Senpai! Stop!
[22:02] Lindel
    Renfred.
SIGN    You're going to ruin her if you continue to do nothing more than let her live with you.
[23:55] Chise
    The story of the mage's past.
[23:57] Chise
    The girl is shaken by the
    truth that had been hidden.
[24:01] Chise
    What does the brief parting
    bring to the two?
[24:05] Chise
    I'll tell you what I haven't
    been able to tell you, too.
