**[00:03] Alexandra**
Congrats on being discharged!
**[00:06] Seth**
Thank you for your help.
**[00:08] Alexandra**
How do you feel?
**[00:10] Simeon**
I'm just glad I can finally get out of bed.
**[00:13] Simeon**
The best part is how easy it
is to go to the bathroom.
**[00:16] Alexandra**
How do you use the bathroom?
**[00:19] Simeon**
It's a secret.
**[00:20] Simeon**
You?
**[00:21] Alexandra**
It's a secret!
**[00:24] Simeon & Alexandra**
And you?
**[00:25] Elias**
What exactly is going on
in this conversation?
**[00:29] Seth**
Why are you looking at me?
**[00:31] Seth**
Well, then...
**[00:33] Elias**
Are you going home?
**[00:34] Seth**
Even if I wanted to, we're sealed in.
**[00:38] Seth**
I can't even do my work in this
situation, so I'll have to...
**[00:43] Seth**
Alexandra, you have a patient.
**[00:46] Alexandra**
My, my.
**[00:47] Alexandra**
Are you all right?
**[00:48] Female Student**
She's not feeling well.
**[00:52] Alexandra**
I'll have a look over there.
**[00:54] Elias**
I'll take you to your room.
**[00:57] Simeon**
Oh, thanks.
**[02:33] Beatrice**
I'm tired of studying.
**[02:36] Sofia**
Exams are next week.
**[02:39] Sofia**
Lazarus, can you do the nutrition calculations
for cooking class and check my sewing?
**[02:43] Lazarus**
Okay.
**[02:44] Beatrice**
Oh! Mine, too!
**[02:46] Martin**
Mine, too!
**[02:47] Jasmine**
Mine too, when you're done.
**[02:49] Lazarus**
That's a lot.
**[02:51] Lazarus**
Could someone check the sorcerers
exam material range?
**[02:54] Martin**
Pass.
**[02:55] Martin**
I don't want to think
about history right now.
**[02:58] Beatrice**
Same, pass.
**[03:00] Zoe**
I'm completely lost.
**[03:02] Lazarus**
Come on.
**[03:03] Isaac**
I can take a look, if that works for you.
**[03:05] Lazarus**
That'd be great.
**[03:07] Kevin**
Isaac, could you look at mine, too?
**[03:09] Isaac**
Sure.
**[03:11] Roy**
Nothing I read is sticking.
**[03:13] Beatrice**
I know.
**[03:15] Chise**
So this is what study groups are like.
**[03:19] Kevin**
I can't blame you if
you're getting bored.
**[03:21] Kevin**
Normally, we'd be grabbing food in town.
**[03:25] Kevin**
But we can't do that right now.
**[03:27] Martin**
Yeah, I wanna go check out the new shops.
**[03:31] Martin**
I want clothes!
**[03:32] Roy**
The new comics should be out!
**[03:36] Roy**
Right, there's no signal!
**[03:38] Violet**
Looks like everyone's stressed out.
**[03:41] Kevin**
I mean...
**[03:43] Lazarus**
There's nothing to do but study.
**[03:47] Violet**
I thought people would
start saying that, so...
**[03:50] Zoe, Kevin & Roy**
Did you bring us something?!
**[03:54] Violet**
Here you go.
**[03:56] Zoe**
What are these?
**[03:57] Chise**
Puzzles?
**[03:59] Violet**
Do you two not know?
**[04:01] Violet**
This is a training game for sorcerers.
**[04:05] Violet**
You put a simple spell on the puzzle,
**[04:08] Violet**
and you race to see who can solve it first.
**[04:13] Violet**
It tests your analytic skills and
ability to manipulate magic power.
**[04:17] Zoe**
That sounds fun.
**[04:19] Chise**
Magic power, huh?
**[04:20] Chise**
I don't think I could do it.
**[04:22] Isaac**
Do you not have spells to open locks?
**[04:25] Chise**
I do, but...
**[04:27] Lazarus**
You should try it out.
**[04:30] Lucy**
I guess we could try it out, if you want.
**[04:32] Beatrice**
Plus, I want to see your magic again.
**[04:35] Rian**
True, I'd like to see it, too.
**[04:38] Chise**
O-Okay.
**[04:40] Violet**
Okay, first round.
**[04:42] Violet**
Who wants to lock it?
**[04:44] Sofia**
I'll do it.
**[04:45] Roy**
Guess I'm in.
**[04:47] Violet**
Okay, Roy, Sofia, and...
maybe I'll play, too.
**[04:51] Violet**
Let's make it a triple this time.
**[04:56] Violet**
Who's up?
**[04:58] Beatrice**
Me!
**[04:58] Rian**
I'm in.
**[04:59] Martin**
Yeah.
**[04:59] Jasmine**
Why not?
**[05:01] Violet**
And...
**[05:04] Beatrice**
Zoe, Chise, you've never
played before, right?
**[05:07] Beatrice**
You should give it a try.
**[05:10] Chise**
Okay.
**[05:11] Zoe**
Thanks.
**[05:16] Violet**
All right, let's go.
**[05:18] Violet**
Three, two, one.
**[05:21] Violet**
Start!
**[05:23] Simeon**
Thanks for walking with me.
**[05:25] Elias**
You can call me if you need anything.
**[05:31] Simeon**
Do people ever tell you that
you're overprotective?
**[05:35] Elias**
But humans are so frail.
**[05:39] Simeon**
You're not wrong.
**[05:41] Simeon**
Alexandra gets a notification if there's
ever anything wrong with my vitals.
**[05:46] Simeon**
I should be all right.
**[05:49] Simeon**
Especially with the intensified security.
**[05:53] Simeon**
Just hope the students
don't find out too much.
**[05:56] Elias**
Yeah.
**[05:57] Elias**
You're right, there are more patrols lately.
**[06:00] Simeon**
See you around.
**[06:02] Elias**
Yeah.
**[06:05] Simeon**
Do you like music?
**[06:07] Elias**
Music?
**[06:09] Elias**
I've never thought about it.
**[06:11] Elias**
Nor have I heard much.
**[06:13] Simeon**
All right.
**[06:15] Simeon**
I'll try and find something
you'll like for next time.
**[06:20] Elias**
Okay.
**[06:21] Elias**
Thanks.
**[06:27] Elias**
Music, huh?
**[06:30] Elias**
I think I remember Angelica playing
a record quite a while ago.
**[06:35] Elias**
Chise doesn't seem to listen to music.
**[06:39] Elias**
I wonder what kind of music she listens to?
**[06:43] Elias**
She seems to like most food.
**[06:46] Elias**
She never complains about anything.
**[06:49] Elias**
But I haven't heard much
about her preferences.
**[06:53] Elias**
I wonder what she was
like before she met me.
**[06:57] Elias**
I should ask, and...
**[07:01] Elias**
There she is.
**[07:05] Isaac**
You can do this, Zoe.
**[07:06] Lazarus**
Try taking a step back.
**[07:08] Lucy**
Hurry up.
**[07:13] Zoe**
Done!
**[07:16] Zoe**
Who was first?
**[07:17] Violet**
From the top, Martin,
Jasmine, Beatrice, Rian.
**[07:21] Violet**
You're last, Zoe.
**[07:22] Zoe**
Rats!
**[07:24] Beatrice**
It's your first time.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
**[07:26] Lucy**
You were never very good at games.
**[07:29] Lucy**
Even though you were technically first.
**[07:31] Lucy**
To think the whole thing
would open on its own...
**[07:34] Rian**
Magic sure is something.
**[07:36] Jasmine**
You did fall for a trap, though.
**[07:41] Roy**
I set up a trap that's triggered
when you force it open.
**[07:44] Chise**
How long does it last?
**[07:47] Roy**
Not that long.
**[07:48] Roy**
Watch.
**[07:51] Roy**
See?
**[07:52] Veronica**
What are all of you up to?
**[07:55] Violet**
Veronica!
**[07:58] Violet**
Just playing games from back in first year.
**[08:00] Violet**
Wanna join us?
**[08:01] Veronica**
Maybe.
**[08:05] Rian**
Philomela.
**[08:10] Rian**
Let's play each other. It's been a while.
**[08:14] Philomela**
I...
**[08:16] Chise**
Um, you don't have to—
**[08:18] Veronica**
Sounds great.
**[08:19] Veronica**
You're good at this kind of thing.
**[08:22] Veronica**
I'd like to see you do it.
**[08:26] Philomela**
Understood...
**[08:31] Veronica**
You can do this.
**[08:33] Violet**
This is a pretty interesting match-up.
**[08:36] Violet**
Well, same rules as before.
**[08:38] Violet**
The first to solve it wins.
**[08:40] Isaac**
Rian...
**[08:44] Chise**
Is this going to be all right?
**[08:47] Violet**
Are you ready?
**[08:49] Violet**
Ready...
**[08:51] Violet**
Start!
**[09:08] (Flashback) Philomela**
Alcyone!
**[09:11] (Flashback) Philomela**
Alcyone?
**[09:13] (Flashback) Philomela**
Are you tired?
**[09:14] (Flashback) Alcyone**
No.
**[09:16] (Flashback) Alcyone**
It seems it took me a while
to store my memories.
**[09:19] (Flashback) Philomela**
Yeah?
**[09:23] (Flashback) Adam**
Alcyone.
**[09:24] (Flashback) Adam**
Could you help make lunch?
**[09:28] (Flashback) Adam**
I'll take care of Philomela.
**[09:30] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Yes, Master.
**[09:39] (Flashback) Iris**
You're one tireless monster.
**[09:42] (Flashback) Iris**
You must be tired.
**[09:44] (Flashback) Alcyone**
No, ma'am.
**[09:45] (Flashback) Alcyone**
How may I help?
**[09:47] (Flashback) Iris**
Let's see... Could you peel the oranges?
**[09:49] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Understood.
**[09:52] (Flashback) Iris**
We haven't been on a picnic in a while.
I'm glad the weather held up.
**[09:55] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Yes.
**[09:58] (Flashback) Iris**
Hey, Alcyone...
**[10:01] (Flashback) Iris**
We can't have cameras or
albums or photos on us.
**[10:06] (Flashback) Iris**
So please, store this scene for us.
**[10:27] Alcyone**
Hello.
**[10:29] Elias**
Hi.
**[10:32] Elias**
That familiar from before.
**[10:36] Alcyone**
We've met before.
**[10:39] Alcyone**
If you'll pardon the rude question...
**[10:43] Alcyone**
Are you of the same kind as me?
**[10:49] Elias**
The same?
**[10:51] Elias**
What makes you think that?
**[10:53] Alcyone**
I cloak myself in matter
in order to carry out tasks.
**[10:58] Alcyone**
I felt that you may be doing the same.
**[11:03] Chise**
Elias.
**[11:05] Chise**
I wonder what they're talking about.
**[11:08] Alcyone**
One of the new students called your name.
**[11:12] Alcyone**
Are you her caretaker?
**[11:14] Elias**
No.
**[11:16] Elias**
I think I'm more the one being taken care of.
**[11:20] Elias**
It's both, I suppose.
**[11:22] Alcyone**
That's quite peculiar.
**[11:25] Elias**
Peculiar?
**[11:26] Alcyone**
We are created to serve those who summon us.
**[11:33] Alcyone**
You seem to be independent.
**[11:36] Elias**
I'm not an artificial fairy.
**[11:39] Alcyone**
Pardon me, then.
**[11:42] Alcyone**
What brings you here today?
**[11:44] Elias**
Observation.
**[11:47] Elias**
What?
**[11:48] Alcyone**
My ability to analyze observations
is not very sophisticated.
**[11:53] Alcyone**
I envy you.
**[11:55] Elias**
No...
**[11:57] Elias**
I could ignore her, but I keep replying.
**[12:03] Elias**
There's more that I don't know
than you give me credit for.
**[12:07] Alcyone**
Is that so?
**[12:13] Alcyone**
I apologize for my inability
to maintain a conversation.
**[12:17] Alcyone**
I still don't know how
**[12:24] Alcyone**
to engage others.
**[12:30] Kevin**
You're both down to your last one!
**[12:40] (Flashback) Rian**
I lost again!
**[12:42] (Flashback) Philomela**
I think you should try to think deeper
about things and about others.
**[12:47] (Flashback) Rian**
Too hard.
**[12:51] (Flashback) Philomela**
Grandmother, Rian and I...
**[12:55] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
What a waste of time.
**[12:57] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
You've no need to win at any games.
**[13:00] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
Spend that time reading your textbooks.
**[13:04] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
You're already behind everyone else.
**[13:17] Kevin**
Rian won!
**[13:20] Zoe**
He won.
**[13:26] Rian**
Why did you hold back?
**[13:29] Isaac**
Rian!
**[13:29] Rian**
I'm atrocious at these games.
**[13:32] Rian**
There's no way you'd take longer than me!
**[13:35] Isaac**
Stop!
**[13:36] Isaac**
You're getting too worked up, you idiot!
**[13:40] Philomela**
I'm not the same as I was before.
**[13:43] Philomela**
Don't put your expectations on
me just to be disappointed.
**[13:49] Isaac**
Seriously, Rian!
**[13:52] Zoe**
Wait!
**[13:53] Veronica**
Philomela, are you okay?
**[13:56] Philomela**
I'm sorry.
**[14:01] Chise**
Sorry, I'll be back.
**[14:03] Lucy**
Chise!
**[14:05] Lucy**
Damn it!
**[14:07] Sofia**
Do those two have some kind of history?
**[14:09] Beatrice**
I know they're relatives, but...
**[14:12] Kevin**
I bet it's complicated.
**[14:15] Violet**
Jasmine?
**[14:16] Jasmine**
I...
**[14:22] Isaac**
Rian!
**[14:27] Rian**
Why doesn't she try to win?!
**[14:30] Rian**
She's way smarter than me
and better at sorcery!
**[14:34] Rian**
Why is she acting so weak?
**[14:37] Isaac**
It's probably the only
way she could survive.
**[14:42] Rian**
I don't get it.
**[14:44] Rian**
Sure, she's never been the assertive type.
**[14:48] Rian**
But it's only gotten worse!
**[14:50] Rian**
Why—
**[14:52] Isaac**
Why do you think she *needs* to be that way?!
**[14:55] Isaac**
Try giving it some thought, you whiner!
**[15:01] Rian**
You think about other people too much!
**[15:04] Isaac**
At least I'm not arrogant.
**[15:15] Zoe**
I never had friends before I came
here, so I don't really know...
**[15:22] Zoe**
Is it normal to say and do stuff like that?
**[15:27] Zoe**
Here's how I see it, then.
**[15:29] Zoe**
I don't think it's good to act
that way toward girls, or friends.
**[15:38] Chise**
Philomela!
**[15:41] Chise**
Hey, are you okay?
**[15:44] Chise**
Is she crying?
**[15:51] Chise**
That's right.
**[15:55] Chise**
These eyes don't cry.
**[15:58] Chise**
I've seen it before.
**[16:03] Philomela**
Rian and I have always competed
and played games together.
**[16:13] Philomela**
He's honest about his feelings.
**[16:15] Philomela**
So he'd get upset.
**[16:17] Philomela**
But he'd always say good things about me.
**[16:24] Philomela**
But now, I'm not allowed to win...
**[16:28] Philomela**
Yet I'm not allowed to lose, either...
**[16:31] Philomela**
I'm an embarrassment.
**[16:33] Philomela**
I'm worthless.
**[16:36] Philomela**
No matter what I do, I...
**[16:42] Chise**
Is that...
**[16:45] Chise**
because that's what your
grandmother said to you?
**[16:50] Chise**
What did you want to do?
**[16:53] Chise**
In the past, back there, and right now.
**[17:05] Philomela**
There's nothing I'm allowed to do.
**[17:15] Lucy**
That's unusual.
**[17:17] Lucy**
I've never seen you at a loss for words.
**[17:21] Chise**
What should I have said?
**[17:24] Chise**
Our origins, our circumstances, our
personalities, and our burdens are different.
**[17:31] Chise**
And here I am, feeling
some kind of closeness.
**[17:35] Chise**
I want to tell her she can do something.
**[17:40] Chise**
The same way those around me
have told me that I'm free.
**[17:46] Alexandra**
Coming.
**[17:48] Alexandra**
Nurse's office.
**[17:49] Gregory**
Alexandra, we're being assembled.
**[17:53] Alexandra**
I'm in the middle of something right now.
**[17:57] Violet**
Doctor, my sister says she's feeling sick.
**[18:07] Were (Female)**
P-Please...
**[18:10] Were (Female)**
Give them back.
**[18:11] Lizbeth**
You've finally returned.
**[18:13] Lizbeth**
I thought you'd have starved
to death somewhere by now.
**[18:17] Were (Female)**
Please give them back.
**[18:19] Were (Female)**
I can't take this anymore!
**[18:23] Were (Female)**
Please give me back our... my... children...
**[18:31] Lizbeth**
You beasts heal quickly.
**[18:35] Lizbeth**
You recover even after
I tinker with your insides.
**[18:39] Lizbeth**
I left you with a minimal sense of self
so you'd keep yourself out of trouble.
**[18:43] Lizbeth**
Fine.
**[18:45] Lizbeth**
I'll give them back.
**[18:47] Lizbeth**
It should be about time now.
**[18:58] Isaac**
Rian. It's morning.
**[19:02] Rian**
It's Saturday.
**[19:07] Rian**
We never used to get into fights.
**[19:16] Elias**
It's time for rain.
**[19:23] Chise**
I wonder if it's raining
outside the College, too.
**[19:29] Elias**
Do you like the rain?
**[19:31] Chise**
I suppose.
**[19:32] Chise**
I'm worried about our crops back home.
**[19:35] Chise**
We haven't had the pumpkins yet.
**[19:38] Elias**
We should be back by Christmas.
**[19:41] Chise**
I don't know if we can finish them all.
**[19:43] Elias**
Someone might have already harvested them.
**[19:47] Chise**
Yeah, I bet.
**[19:50] Chise**
What shall we make with the pumpkins?
**[19:53] Elias**
Potage, maybe.
**[19:55] Chise**
Bake them with honey and mustard.
**[19:58] Elias**
Have Silver bake a cake.
**[20:02] Elias**
Chise and I...
**[20:04] Chise**
Elias and I...
**[20:06] Chise**
...haven't sat down to talk for a while.
**[20:15] Chise**
Elias.
**[20:17] Chise**
Is it just me, or am I seeing
more things than usual?
**[20:21] Elias**
It's winter, after all.
**[20:23] Chise**
Is it because it's winter?
**[20:24] Violet**
Seeing more of what?
**[20:27] Chise**
Violet.
**[20:28] Violet**
Am I intruding?
**[20:29] Chise**
Intruding...
**[20:31] Chise**
No, it's fine.
**[20:33] Violet**
Mr. Ainsworth, Jasmine's
not feeling too well.
**[20:37] Violet**
She'll probably be absent
for the next class.
**[20:41] Violet**
I plan to take care of her.
**[20:44] Elias**
So you'll both be absent, then.
**[20:46] Elias**
Oh, and if you're really
serious about learning magic,
**[20:51] Elias**
you should find another master.
**[20:54] Elias**
Becoming a mage versus a sorcerer
are two different paths.
**[20:58] Violet**
I figured as much.
**[21:00] Violet**
I'll give it some thought.
**[21:03] Violet**
So, what're you seeing a lot of?
**[21:06] Violet**
Ghosts and stuff?
**[21:08] Violet**
There's a lot lately.
**[21:09] Chise**
You can see them, too, Violet?
**[21:12] Violet**
Sometimes.
**[21:13] Violet**
Ghosts and apparitions are part of
life in the winter in this country.
**[21:17] Violet**
It's the season the dead come back.
**[21:20] Chise**
Where I'm from, that's in the summer.
**[21:24] Chise**
We even have a game called "kimodameshi."
**[21:28] Violet**

**[21:56] Violet**
