[02:11] (A)
    You're going to ruin her if you continue to
    do nothing more than let her live with you.
[02:22] Chise
    Elias...
[02:23] Lindel
    That's right.
[02:24] Lindel
    His name was given to him by my master.
[02:30] (Flashback) Rahab
    Welcome, Elias, to this dizzying,
    disgusting, beautiful world.
[02:39] (Flashback) Rahab
    All right, take care of Elias for me,
[02:43] (Flashback) Rahab
    Lindel.
[02:52] (Flashback) Lindel
    This is all so sudden.
[02:55] (Flashback) Lindel
    Well, from now on, you're Elias.
[03:02] Lindel
    For a few years, the two of us traveled
    the forest, chasing reindeer.
[03:09] Lindel
    We traveled, enjoying the sight of
    the lakes and fields as we went.
[03:26] (Flashback) Lindel
    Hey, what are you doing?
[03:28] (Flashback) Lindel
    You shouldn't take things you
    aren't even going to eat.
[03:31] (Flashback) Elias
    I shouldn't?
[03:34] Lindel
    Elias seemed to be missing something.
[03:39] Lindel
    He learned quickly, but he seemed as though
    he was looking at everything from the outside.
[03:44] Lindel
    One day, when we were running
    low on food, we visited a home.
[03:50] (Flashback) Lindel
    Hello, I'm a shaman.
[03:53] (Flashback) Lindel
    Is there anyone sick or injured here?
[03:57] (Flashback) Lindel
    Would you spare me some food
    in exchange for healing?
[04:04] (Flashback) Man
    My grandson happens to be bedridden.
[04:10] (Flashback) Lindel
    I can make use of my hands for a fever.
[04:29] (Flashback) Lindel
    It must be awful for you.
[04:31] (Flashback) Lindel
    You'll be better soon.
[04:33] (Flashback) Lindel
    Sleep well.
[04:39] (Flashback) Lindel
    You're his little sister?
[04:41] (Flashback) Lindel
    Don't worry.
[04:43] (Flashback) Lindel
    Your brother will be fine.
[04:46] (Flashback) (A)
    That man...
[04:48] (Flashback) (A)
    There's something in his shadow.
[04:54] (Flashback) (A)
    I'm scared!
[04:55] (Flashback) Man
    What is it?!
[04:58] (Flashback) Mom
    It's a monster!
[05:01] (Flashback) Mom
    A m-monster!
[05:02] (Flashback) Lindel
    Hurry!
[05:04] (Flashback) Man
    It's evil!
[05:05] (Flashback) (A)
    It's a demon!
[05:06] (Flashback) (B)
    He was going to take the kid!
[05:09] (Flashback) Lindel
    There was a child with the sight in the house.
[05:11] (Flashback) Lindel
    Shit.
[05:12] (Flashback) Elias
    Sorry, Lindel.
[05:13] (Flashback) Lindel
    It's not your fault.
[05:16] (Flashback) (A)
    You demon!
[05:19] (Flashback) (B)
    Demon!
[05:24] (Flashback) (C)
    I'll kill you!
[05:28] (Flashback) (B)
    Evil!
[05:31] (Flashback) (A)
    Demon!
[05:32] (Flashback) (A)
    Demon!
[05:33] (Flashback) (A)
    I'll kill you!
[05:54] (Flashback) (D)
    Send for help!
[05:58] (Flashback) Lindel
    Stop, Elias!
[06:02] (Flashback) Lindel
    Veil of the forest, lift yourself for us!
[06:15] (Flashback) (A)
    He's gone.
[06:29] (Flashback) Elias
    Where are we?
[06:35] (Flashback) Lindel
    This is where the forest gods live.
[06:45] (Flashback) Elias
    Lindel.
[06:48] (Flashback) Lindel
    This is what happens when
    I force myself to use magic.
[06:52] (Flashback) Lindel
    We need to get out of here.
[07:18] Lindel
    Spruce.
[07:23] (Flashback) Elias
    Take us outside, to Lindel's reindeer.
[07:31] Lindel
    I taught him that.
[07:59] (Flashback) Lindel
    You're surprisingly good with your hands.
[08:04] (Flashback) Elias
    I've seen you do this lots of times.
[08:09] (Flashback) Lindel
    Thanks.
[08:16] (Flashback) Lindel
    Is something wrong?
[08:19] (Flashback) Elias
    Lindel,
[08:22] (Flashback) Elias
    I'm pretty sure I've eaten humans before.
[08:46] Lindel
    What do you think, Chise?
[08:48] Lindel
    What if he's a man-eating monster?
[09:06] Chise
    I could see things from the other
    side ever since I was little.
[09:12] Chise
    A lot of them would talk about
    how tasty or gross humans are.
[09:18] Chise
    I was really scared.
[09:23] Chise
    But Elias has never scared me, not once.
[09:30] Chise
    So, if he really used to...
[09:39] Lindel
    Tell him the rest yourself.
[09:42] Chise
    But you were the one who asked.
[09:45] Lindel
    My bad.
[09:48] Lindel
    You're well-spoken.
[09:51] Lindel
    You should talk to him lots, too.
[09:56] Chise
    What did you say in response, Lindel?
[09:58] Lindel
    Me?
[09:59] Lindel
    I said...
[10:01] (Flashback) Lindel
    I bet I'm tasty. Don't eat me.
[10:07] (Flashback) Elias
    I'm... not going to eat you.
[10:09] (Flashback) Lindel
    Okay, good.
[10:11] (Flashback) Elias
    But sometimes I feel the urge to...
[10:15] (Flashback) Elias
    Even though I'm sure I don't really want to.
[10:18] (Flashback) Elias
    Aren't humans afraid of things like me?
[10:22] (Flashback) Lindel
    Hey, there are lots of
    things that eat humans.
[10:26] (Flashback) Lindel
    I have no reason to be fearful
    of you in particular.
[10:32] (Flashback) Lindel
    Eat all kinds of things, and soon enough,
[10:35] (Flashback) Lindel
    you'll forget all about your
    ambivalent taste for humans.
[10:40] Lindel
    I kind of killed the
    conversation on purpose.
[10:44] Lindel
    I was actually scared, after all.
[10:47] Chise
    You were, huh?
[10:49] Lindel
    You'd be shocked, too, at least for a moment,
[10:52] Lindel
    if you found out that the cat curled up on
    your lap actually ate humans, wouldn't you?
[10:56] Chise
    Comparing him to a cat?
[10:59] Lindel
    Either way, my fears vanished as
    soon as I took a sip of the soup.
[11:06] Lindel
    Also, that soup tasted unbelievably bad.
[11:13] Chise
    Thank goodness for Silky.
[11:16] Lindel
    Still, humans are the most easily-scared
    and cruel creatures of all.
[11:23] Lindel
    I told him he shouldn't tell
    people about it too much.
[11:28] Lindel
    I don't know if he's following my advice,
    or if something else happened...
[11:34] Lindel
    But he absolutely refuses to
    tell people about himself.
[11:40] Lindel
    He's still stuck as a child.
[11:43] Lindel
    Sorry for the long talk.
[11:45] Lindel
    You should get some sleep.
[11:54] Ruth
    Can't sleep, Chise?
[11:57] Chise
    Nah, thanks, Ruth.
[12:04] Chise
    Did I look tasty?
[12:11] Chise
    I guess I've heard something
    he didn't want to say.
[12:23] Lindel
    It's morning.
[12:26] Chise
    Oh, right, I'm in the land of dragons.
[12:32] Chise
    Good morning.
[12:35] Lindel
    Morning.
[12:38] (A)
    Chise!
[12:39] (B)
    Human!
[12:40] (C)
    Morning!
[12:41] (D)
    Morning!
[12:42] (E)
    Morning.
[12:43] Chise
    Morning—
[12:49] Ruth
    Chise!
[12:51] Lindel
    That girl sure does fall into water a lot.
[13:20] Ruth
    Chise, are you all right?
[13:23] Chise
    There was this amazing thing.
[13:28] Chise
    Why are you cutting my hair?
[13:31] Lindel
    Even since long ago, hair
    has always carried magic.
[13:35] Lindel
    We'll use this as the core of the wand.
[13:37] Lindel
    You don't see many Asians
    with red hair like yours.
[13:41] Lindel
    It's a perfect color for magic.
[13:44] Lindel
    Red is the color of the earth,
[13:47] Lindel
    the color of the flames and blood
    flowing through the stars.
[13:50] Lindel
    Choose a handpiece from one of these.
[13:53] Lindel
    The red elderberry knocks on the
    door to the black goddess.
[13:57] Lindel
    The willow lingers between
    the living and the dead.
[14:02] Lindel
    The hazel wards off evil.
[14:06] Lindel
    The yew is a symbol of eternity.
[14:08] Lindel
    It can draw or banish magic.
[14:11] Lindel
    The checker tree has a powerful life
    force and brings order to the wicked.
[14:18] Chise
    I saw him when I first came here.
[14:26] Lindel
    I had him dry the wood out.
[14:29] Lindel
    Well, let's get to carving.
[14:35] Lindel
    Oh, sorry, there's nothing
    for me to teach you.
[14:40] Lindel
    Just carve it as you like, so that
    it's comfortable for you to use.
[14:44] Lindel
    It's customary for one to carve their own
    wands, and for their senior to finish it.
[14:49] Lindel
    It would be good to talk to
    yourself as you're carving.
[14:53] Chise
    To myself?
[14:55] Lindel
    I'll go take a look around.
[14:57] Lindel
    Take your time.
[15:10] Chise
    Talk to myself?
[15:16] Ruth
    You have to talk to yourself, don't you?
[15:19] Chise
    Ruth...
[15:38] Chise
    I guess I've never really thought
    about myself until now.
[16:26] Lindel
    It's dark now.
[16:28] Lindel
    Take a break.
[16:30] Lindel
    That's some amazing focus.
[16:32] Lindel
    You're almost done.
[16:35] Chise
    Right.
[16:36] Chise
    Just a little more work.
[16:40] Lindel
    Not bad at all, for a beginner.
[16:43] Lindel
    Let's finish it tomorrow.
[16:50] Lindel
    The moon's bright tonight.
[16:53] Lindel
    I can show you something nice.
[16:57] Lindel
    The moss here grows flowers.
[16:59] Chise
    Flowers?
[17:01] Lindel
    The elves created this land.
[17:03] Lindel
    They adore it.
[17:04] Lindel
    Dance with the elves, and
    the flowers will bloom.
[17:07] Lindel
    Do you know my other name?
[17:10] Chise
    Echos, the song of a hundred flowers?
[17:13] Lindel
    Names are very important
    for mages and sorcerers.
[17:18] Lindel
    Usually, they're called by the name that
    describes their features and their true nature.
[17:29] Lindel
    My spells are songs.
[17:33] Lindel
    Let's have them bloom
    for us, just for tonight.
[18:18] Chise
    Like snowmelt, it was both low and high.
[18:24] Chise
    It resonated through the wind.
[18:28] (A)
    Let's dance.
[18:29] (B)
    Let's dance.
[18:30] Chise
    Elves?
[18:32] Chise
    I've never danced before.
[18:34] Merituuli
    Just twirl around with them.
[18:37] Lindel
    Listen carefully to the sound, to the song,
[18:41] Lindel
    to the sound of the wind,
    to the sound of the water.
[18:44] Lindel
    Humanity still remembers the sounds
[18:47] Lindel
    that filled our bodies from long
    ago, before even language itself.
[18:59] Lindel
    Magic is the same way.
[19:01] Lindel
    Listen to what is around you,
    and offer out your hand.
[19:05] Lindel
    You still remember that.
[19:29] Chise
    I'm spent.
[19:53] Chise
    I wonder what* he *would say,
     if he saw this scene.
[20:01] Chise
    Elias.
[20:04] Elias
    Chise.
[20:05] Elias
    Why did you make a water mirror?
[20:07] Chise
    A water mirror?
[20:09] Elias
    A water mirror lets you see
    a person through the water.
[20:15] Elias
    Huh?
[20:16] Elias
    Is he singing right now?
[20:18] Chise
    Yes.
[20:19] Elias
    No wonder.
[20:21] Elias
    His magic connected there to here.
[20:25] Chise
    I see.
[20:27] Chise
    Elias...
[20:29] Elias
    Yeah?
[20:31] Chise
    You look troubled.
[20:34] Chise
    Did something happen?
[20:38] Elias
    I suppose.
[20:39] Elias
    A little.
[20:41] Chise
    Is everything okay?
[20:46] Elias
    Home is a bit cold without you.
[20:52] Elias
    Even though it's summer,
    and I have the stove on.
[21:01] Chise
    The flowers are beautiful here.
[21:04] Chise
    I wish I could show you.
[21:07] Elias
    Take them in, and tell me about
    them when you get back.
[21:16] Chise
    Here's a small taste.
[21:31] Chise
    Elias,
[21:33] Chise
    I heard all kinds of things about you.
[21:39] Elias
    That old bastard...
[21:41] Chise
    So I'll tell you what I haven't
    been able to tell you, too.
[21:50] Chise
    I'll head home as soon as my wand's done.
[21:53] Elias
    Okay.
[21:54] Elias
    Please.
[22:00] Lindel
    Two kids.
[22:02] Lindel
    I don't even have kids, but
    I feel like I'm raising both of them.
[23:55] Chise
    A girl who hadn't a place to return is
    shown the way by Lindenbaum's staff.
[24:02] Chise
    What does she choose at
    the end of her wandering?
[24:05] Chise
    Please... Connect me to that person.
