SIGN    Coming.
[01:44] Stella
    Morning, Chise!
SIGN    Stella.
[01:48] Stella
    What's wrong? You look shocked.
SIGN    Er, I didn't think you'd actually come by.
[01:55] Stella
    I'm not a liar.
SIGN    I-It must be cold. Come in.
[02:02] Stella
    Thanks.
SIGN    Wow, this is amazing.
SIGN    You made all this?
[02:12] Stella
    I-It's not a big deal.
[02:14] Stella
    It was our contract.
[02:16] Elias
    Are you sure you should be
    wandering out by yourself?
[02:20] Stella
    No one's going to abduct
    me right after Christmas.
[02:23] Elias
    You were abducted on Christmas, though.
[02:26] Stella
    Stop it!
[02:28] Stella
    Jeez.
[02:29] Stella
    I thought a mage's home would
    have a more ominous vibe.
[02:34] Stella
    But it's spacious and clean.
SIGN    Y-Yeah.
SIGN    I guess I shouldn't tell her there's all kinds of creatures on her.
[02:48] Elias
    I'll be in my study.
[02:50] Elias
    You can enjoy yourselves.
SIGN    Okay.
SIGN    Ah, um...
SIGN    Want to come to my room?
[03:02] Stella
    Really?
[03:05] Stella
    I smell herbs.
SIGN    When are you going back to London?
[03:10] Stella
    Tonight.
[03:11] Stella
    I'll come hang out again next month,
[03:13] Stella
    so you come to my place, too.
SIGN    Okay.
[03:18] Stella
    This is good.
SIGN    Do you want to take some with you?
[03:21] Stella
    Really? Thanks!
SIGN    In return for the snacks.
[03:24] Stella
    A return for a return... It's gonna
    be Christmas every time we meet.
SIGN    Say, Stella,
SIGN    it's been a long time since I've made a friend.
SIGN    I don't know what to do.
SIGN    It'd help if you could tell me.
[03:46] Stella
    Invite me to do whatever you want to do,
[03:48] Stella
    and just talk with me.
SIGN    What if they don't like it, though?
[03:55] Stella
    You're obviously not the
    same person as your friend.
[03:58] Stella
    You're obviously not gonna
    have all the same interests.
[04:02] Stella
    Words aren't for understanding each other.
[04:04] Stella
    They exist for the sake
    of talking to each other.
[04:06] Stella
    Or so my Dad says, but honestly,
    a jerk is a jerk from beginning to end.
SIGN    You're so mature, Stella.
SIGN    Even though you're about my age.
[04:18] Stella
    I hope so.
SIGN    Oh yeah, how old are you again?
[04:23] Stella
    I'm ten.
SIGN    Hm?
[04:25] Stella
    Ten.
SIGN    Ten...
[04:28] Stella
    How about you?
SIGN    Almost sixteen.
SIGN    I'd decided I would say what I mean to say, but it's pretty hard.
[04:45] Stella
    Let's practice, then.
SIGN    Practice?
[04:48] Stella
    You can't be selfish, though.
[04:50] Stella
    Although you don't seem like you would be.
SIGN    I'm really selfish.
SIGN    I'm hoping to come over to your place soon.
[05:00] Stella
    That's not practice, though.
[05:03] Stella
    That's just a plan.
SIGN    Elias...
SIGN    Silky, did he leave a note?
[05:28] Stella
    Where are you going?
SIGN    Sorry, Ruth, can you walk Stella home?
[05:33] Ruth
    Yeah, are you going after him?
SIGN    Yeah.
[05:41] Ruth
    You're both strangely dishonest.
SIGN    Sorry, Stella. Let's hang out again sometime.
[05:49] Stella
    What's up with her?
[05:51] Ruth
    "Say what she means to say"...
[05:54] Ruth
    She talks more with her arms
    and legs than with her mouth.
SIGN    It's no use. He keeps getting further.
SIGN    What's gotten into him?
SIGN    I'll take on the form I need to take to do what needs to be done.
SIGN    I can't keep up with the legs of a fox.
SIGN    I'd be too big with the body of a bear.
SIGN    I have to run faster.
SIGN    I have to run further.
SIGN    I have to catch him.
SIGN    This is my wish.
[07:01] (A)
    Hey, did you hear something?
[07:03] (A)
    It sounded like a wolf.
[07:04] (B)
    Probably a dog.
[07:05] (A)
    Maybe it's looking for
    its pack or something.
SIGN    I'm not outside?
[07:38] Elias
    You're a proper wolf this time.
SIGN    Um...
SIGN    I'm sorry if we were making too much noise.
SIGN    I'll be more careful next time.
SIGN    Do you feel all right?
SIGN    Is there something that upset you?
SIGN    Elias?
[08:15] Elias
    Listening to your voices oddly
    made me want to leave home.
[08:22] Elias
    I wanted Stella to go away.
[08:27] Elias
    I thought I wanted to be alone,
[08:30] Elias
    but as soon as I knew you were
    chasing me, I felt better.
[08:34] Elias
    And yet, I couldn't stop running.
[08:39] Elias
    I don't get it.
SIGN    That's...
SIGN    Why don't we go home and have tea?
SIGN    Elias must be more confused about himself than he realizes.
SIGN    I thought he was leaving me.
SIGN    Elias might have been the same way.
SIGN    Can I allow myself the conceit of thinking that's how much he thinks of me?
[09:34] Mom
    You're in a good mood, Stella.
[09:36] Stella
    When are we going to
    Grandma's place next time?
[09:38] Mom
    You're so impatient.
[09:42] Mom
    What's wrong?
[09:45] Stella
    Nothing.
[09:56] Ruth
    I'm home!
[09:59] Ruth
    Are they not home yet?
[10:04] Ruth
    I'll take another look around.
[10:19] Ruth
    Our connection's being interrupted.
[10:22] Ruth
    Chise, where are you?
SIGN    This might be bad.
SIGN    Elias.
SIGN    Elias!
SIGN    Ruth.
SIGN    Ruth!
SIGN    He's going to eat me.
SIGN    He's going to consume me.
SIGN    That's...
SIGN    That's not good.
SIGN    I don't want that right now.
SIGN    Fly!
[11:09] Ruth
    Over there!
[11:23] Ruth
    Which shadow?
[11:28] Ruth
    Chise!
[11:40] Goddess of Spring
    Are you looking for your master?
[11:44] Ruth
    Is she...
[11:49] Goddess of Spring
    You all made an offering of raindrop
     fruits and branches to Mother.
[11:56] Goddess of Spring
    In return, I'll lend you my flame.
[12:10] Ruth
    Thank you.
[12:15] Goddess of Spring
    Next winter, when I become Mother,
[12:18] Goddess of Spring
    I hope you'll offer me raindrop
    fruits and branches again.
[12:24] Ruth
    Chise!
[12:26] Ruth
    Chise!
[12:27] Ruth
    Chise!
SIGN    Ruth...
[12:30] Ruth
    Yeah.
[12:31] Ruth
    It's all right.
[12:32] Ruth
    I'm here.
SIGN    Thanks.
[12:34] Ruth
    Is it Elias?
SIGN    Yeah.
SIGN    I think he had some kind of temper tantrum.
[12:41] Ruth
    A tantrum?
SIGN    What did my mom tell me in these situations?
SIGN    What you're feeling is probably what's called jealousy, Elias.
SIGN    A feeling of envy, of wondering why you're singled out.
SIGN    But being jealous of someone— of something...
SIGN    Being envious or resentful will only bring you misery.
SIGN    That's not something you're meant to throw at people.
SIGN    It's something you have to deal with inside yourself.
SIGN    Even though I'm the most envious of all.
SIGN    Do you get it?
SIGN    Keep being selfish, and I'll have to take matters into my own hands.
SIGN    Ruth.
[13:45] Ruth
    Chise!
SIGN    There's no telling where this knife will land!
SIGN    Are you done now?
[14:11] Elias
    You really scared me.
[14:14] Elias
    Sorry.
[14:17] Elias
    Sorry.
SIGN    It's okay.
SIGN    I'm not angry anymore.
[14:25] Elias
    So you were angry.
SIGN    A bit.
SIGN    Let's talk lots when we get home.
[14:33] Elias
    Talk?
SIGN    Yeah.
SIGN    Together.
SIGN    Stella taught me a lot today, too.
SIGN    I'd like for you to listen.
SIGN    Let's stay up for a while in bed to talk,
SIGN    and fall asleep together tonight.
SIGN    Come on, let's go home.
[15:03] Elias
    Yeah.
[15:09] Ruth
    They were like father and daughter
    until just the other day.
[15:13] Ruth
    Now they're like mother and son.
[15:32] Chise
    I'm leaving now.
[15:41] (A)
    Yes?
[15:46] Chise
    H-Hello, is Angelica-san available?
[15:51] (A)
    Oh, nice to meet you.
[15:53] (A)
    I'm David Varley. Angie's husband.
[16:04] (A)
    Sorry, do you think you
    could wait for a bit?
[16:08] Chise
    I don't mind.
[16:11] Chise
    Are you a mage, too, David-san?
[16:14] (A)
    I'm an ordinary human.
[16:16] (A)
    I'm lucky enough to both have a job,
[16:18] (A)
    and have a good relationship
     with my family.
[16:20] (A)
    Other than that, I'm nothing special.
[16:22] (B)
    Dad, is there a visitor—
[16:26] Chise
    Hello.
[16:29] (B)
    Hello.
[16:35] (A)
    Sorry, she's been a bit difficult lately.
[16:39] Chise
    It's fine.
[16:40] Chise
    I just met a similar kid recently.
[16:43] Angelica
    David, did you call me?
[16:50] Angelica
    Ainsworth's not waking up?
[16:52] Chise
    Not since the night of the 26th.
[17:00] (Flashback) Chise
    Are you sleepy?
[17:13] (Flashback) Chise
    One, two, where do you bloom?
[17:21] (Flashback) Chise
    Under the window where the children sleep,
[17:28] (Flashback) Chise
    white flowers on the night of a pale moon...
[17:37] (Flashback) Chise
    Three, four, where do you bloom?
[17:44] (Flashback) Chise
    On the frame of Mommy's mirror,
[17:51] (Flashback) Chise
    a little blue flower blooms...
[17:58] Angelica
    You sang him a lullaby, and he fell asleep?!
[18:01] Angelica
    That thing did?
[18:02] Chise
    That thing did.
[18:03] Chise
    I did some research, too, but I'm scared.
[18:09] Ruth
    You say that, but you tried a few things.
[18:12] Chise
    Don't tell Elias.
[18:15] Angelica
    If your magic compounded with
    your song, that's magic itself.
[18:21] Chise
    Magic?
[18:22] Angelica
    It doesn't normally happen
    unless you intend it,
[18:26] Angelica
    but that might be your talent, Chise.
[18:31] Chise
    My talent?
[18:33] Chise
    Then why am I bad at making sleeping aids?
[18:39] Angelica
    Just a second.
[18:40] Chise
    Thank you.
[18:43] Chise
    Angelica-san...
[18:45] Chise
    Thanks for the bracelet.
[18:48] Chise
    I'd like to get you
    something next Christmas.
[18:52] Angelica
    I look forward to it.
[18:58] (A)
    Want some more tea?
[19:00] Chise
    I'm good, thank—
[19:02] Ruth
    Are you all right?
[19:04] (A)
    You should get some sleep there
    if you're not feeling well.
[19:09] (A)
    I heard you often push yourself too far.
[19:11] Chise
    Thank you...
[19:18] (A)
    You can't really go to
    the hospital for it, right?
[19:21] (A)
    You should take it easy.
[19:23] Chise
    You know about that, too?
[19:26] (A)
    There's someone who talks about
    you like you're her own child.
[19:33] (A)
    Angie hasn't changed ever since I met her.
[19:38] (A)
    I'd been asking her out ever
    since I was a snotty brat.
[19:41] (A)
    After more years than I
    can count on two hands,
[19:45] (A)
    she finally accepted.
[19:48] (A)
    It was only after our daughter was born
[19:52] (A)
    that I finally got a sense of why
    she'd always turned me down.
[19:58] (A)
    I'm lucky.
[20:00] (A)
    I don't have to think about dying by myself.
[20:03] (A)
    But Angie...
[20:06] (A)
    Our daughter...
[20:08] (A)
    They have to continue sending people
    off, and there's no end in sight.
[20:13] (A)
    It's painful to think about how many days
    are left that we can laugh together.
[20:20] (A)
    But unlike me, if things pan
    out for you, you can keep up.
[20:25] (A)
    So let's live as long as we can
    without stressing or forcing it.
[20:30] (A)
    You and I both.
[20:38] Chise
    You're right.
[20:46] Chise
    There.
[20:57] Ruth
    Yo, Chise, want some he—
[21:04] Chise
    Ah, you're awake.
[21:07] Ruth
    Was it the medicine or was it that?
[21:10] Chise
    Thank goodness, Elias.
[21:13] Chise
    I was so worried...
[21:25] Ruth
    I'll explain.
[21:35] Dragon A
    We're going to get in trouble
    for coming out this far.
[21:38] Dragon B
    It's fine.
[21:39] Dragon A
    But kids aren't supposed to
    go this far. It's not safe.
[21:42] Dragon B
    Whoa, there's something shiny!
[21:44] Dragon A
    Ah, wait up!
[21:54] (A)
    Let's hurry.
[21:58] Lindel
    Poachers, yet again.
[22:01] Lindel
    Fools.
[22:04] (A)
    It's the caretaker!
[22:06] ---
    Surrender and return to the soil.
[22:11] Joseph
    Nice to meet you, mister caretaker.
[23:55] Joseph
    The wandering sorcerer,
    Joseph, is on the move.
[23:59] Joseph
    Joseph's scheming leads the girl
    and the mage to frantic London.
[24:04] (A)
    Depending on price and terms,
     I'll take on your work.
