**[01:34] (Flashback) Mom**
I shouldn't have given birth to you.
**[01:46] (Flashback) (A)**
Who would you be sold to, you ask?
**[01:49] (Flashback) (A)**
I thought you weren't interested.
**[01:52] (Flashback) Chise**
I don't handle pain very well.
**[01:54] (Flashback) Chise**
I thought I should at least be prepared.
**[01:56] (Flashback) (A)**
Don't worry.
**[01:58] (Flashback) (A)**
You're rare.
**[02:02] (Flashback) (A)**
Sorry, you didn't care whether
you lived or died, did you?
**[02:45] Chise**
Hey...
**[02:51] Elias**
Thank you.
**[02:53] Elias**
Morning, Chise.
**[02:55] Chise**
G-Good morning.
**[03:03] Chise**
Who is she?
**[03:04] Elias**
She's a neighbor that lives
here. Her name is Silky.
**[03:08] Elias**
She's a fairy who does the cooking and
laundry, cleans and tends to the fire.
**[03:13] Elias**
Silky prepared that, as well.
**[03:19] Elias**
You could say she's less of
a servant and more of a landlady.
**[03:36] Elias**
A little something for my acquaintance.
**[03:39] Chise**
Apparently, I was purchased
by this mage for an outrageous sum.
**[03:46] Chise**
As his apprentice, and...
**[03:49] (Flashback) Elias**
I also hope to make you my bride.
**[03:55] Chise**
Apprentice or bride...
**[03:57] Chise**
Which do I take seriously?
**[04:00] Elias**
You've been asleep for two
days. Do you recall anything?
**[04:03] Chise**
Two days?
**[04:04] Elias**
You must have been emotionally exhausted.
**[04:08] Chise**
His appearance, his mannerisms...
I don't understand him very well yet.
**[04:14] Elias**
Aren't you going to eat?
**[04:18] Chise**
But he's going to take care of me, so
he's not a bad person... I don't think.
**[04:30] Elias**
I hate to bring this up to you
so early in the morning,
**[04:34] Elias**
but shall we prepare for our honeymoon?
**[04:39] Chise**
But... he seems pretty weird.
**[04:58] Elias**
I thought I'd introduce you to my
acquaintances while we go shopping.
**[05:03] Chise**
His face is bone, so I can't
read his expressions.
**[05:06] Chise**
I can't tell when he's serious or kidding.
**[05:12] Chise**
Wh-What happened to your head?
**[05:15] Elias**
I would look suspicious wandering
around outside with that head.
**[05:18] Elias**
I used a little magic.
**[05:23] Elias**
See?
**[05:24] Elias**
It feels different to the touch, too.
**[05:27] Elias**
Do I look good?
**[05:28] Elias**
Am I handsome?
**[05:31] Chise**
You look kind of fake.
**[05:36] Elias**
That's harsh.
**[05:39] Elias**
I come here often.
**[05:41] Elias**
You'll find almost all
your equipment here.
**[05:47] Chise**
Is this place open?
**[05:51] Elias**
This is just for show.
**[05:54] Elias**
Angie.
**[05:55] Elias**
Angelica.
**[05:58] Angie**
Hey, it's Ainsworth!
**[06:00] Angie**
Who would have thought you'd
ever come out of your hole?
**[06:05] Elias**
You're no less of a hermit, Gem's Bee.
**[06:09] Angie**
I'm running a business.
**[06:11] Elias**
Chise.
**[06:12] Chise**
Y-Yes!
**[06:16] Elias**
I thought I'd have you gather
the things this girl needs.
**[06:25] Elias**
I made her my apprentice three days ago.
**[06:29] Angie**
A-Apprentice?!
**[06:32] Elias**
Yeah.
**[06:35] Angie**
Wow.
**[06:36] Angie**
From Japan, huh?
**[06:38] Angie**
Chise, was it?
**[06:41] Angie**
Here you go.
**[06:42] Chise**
Thank you.
**[06:44] Angie**
She's cute.
**[06:46] Angie**
You better not have done
anything shady to get her.
**[06:50] Elias**
The money I bought her with was clean.
**[06:52] Angie**
There's nothing proper about *buying* her!
**[06:55] Angie**
He hasn't done anything
weird to you, has he?
**[06:57] Elias**
What do you think I am?
**[06:59] Chise**
Anything weird?
**[07:02] Elias**
Chise, Chise, you need to
be quicker to deny that.
**[07:06] Chise**
He washed me after taking off my clothes,
and he proposed to me... Does that count?
**[07:11] Angie**
Oh?
**[07:16] Angie**
You perverted mage!
**[07:19] Angie**
Go take a walk!
**[07:23] Angie**
He doesn't have a smidge of common sense.
**[07:37] Angie**
Man, so that Ainsworth
found an apprentice, huh?
**[07:43] Angie**
Did he really propose?
**[07:48] Chise**
Um...
**[07:51] Angie**
Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.
**[07:55] Angie**
I'm Angelica Varley.
**[07:57] Angie**
I'm a mage, which are a dying breed.
**[08:00] Angie**
I'm a magus craft artificer.
**[08:02] Chise**
Magus craft?
**[08:06] Chise**
Tools and contraptions that run
on magic instead of electricity.
**[08:10] Chise**
Processing gems, making knives...
**[08:13] Chise**
I do it all.
**[08:15] Alucia**
Mom!
**[08:18] Alucia**
A visitor?
**[08:19] Angie**
Althea.
**[08:22] Alucia**
Look!
**[08:24] Angie**
Sorry, but we're putting that off.
**[08:26] Angie**
Stay quiet.
**[08:29] Alucia**
You promised you'd watch my training!
**[08:33] Angie**
All right, just scram!
**[08:39] Chise**
Was that your daughter?
**[08:41] Angie**
Yeah.
**[08:42] Angie**
Sorry, she's not very well-behaved.
**[08:45] Angie**
For better or worse, she's got what
it takes to become a mage.
**[08:50] Angie**
I'd prefer that she'd take up a proper
job, especially in today's world.
**[08:57] Chise**
Mage?
**[09:02] Angie**
Has Elias not told you yet?
**[09:05] Chise**
He hasn't.
**[09:07] Angie**
There's magic and sorcery in this world.
**[09:09] Angie**
Do you know the difference between the two?
**[09:13] Angie**
To put it simply, sorcerers
employ a science called "sorcery."
**[09:18] Angie**
They have an understanding of reality,
**[09:20] Angie**
and they use their own power to rewrite
it and change it to their own ends.
**[09:28] Angie**
Meanwhile, the magic that we mages use
refers to the miracles that are caused
**[09:34] Angie**
with the help of fairies and spirits,
their powers bending said reality.
**[09:38] Chise**
Miracles?
**[09:41] Angie**
Magic sounds easier, doesn't it?
**[09:44] Angie**
But it's like having someone be your arms
and legs, so it's hard to regulate and control.
**[09:49] Angie**
Should you try to do more than
what you're capable of...
**[09:57] Angie**
I made a silly mistake during my training,
**[10:01] Angie**
so that's what I got.
**[10:03] Angie**
There's a lot to study
when it comes to magic.
**[10:06] Angie**
You have to take it seriously,
or this is what happens.
**[10:09] Angie**
So make sure you study hard.
**[10:21] Chise**
Can I use magic, too?
**[10:26] Angie**
Why don't you give it a try?
**[10:29] Angie**
Hugo!
**[10:41] Hugo**
Hey, Robin.
**[10:42] Hugo**
I'm loyal to Angelica,
so I can't promise to be
**[10:45] Hugo**
my kindest to you,
but nice to meet you anyway.
**[10:47] Angie**
This is Hugo, my familiar.
A vodyanoy water spirit.
**[10:52] Angie**
He's mischievous, but he's hard-working.
**[10:55] Angie**
Hugo, give her a hand, would you?
**[10:58] Angie**
She needs to practice magic.
**[11:01] Chise**
B-But I...
**[11:05] Angie**
There's a first time for everyone.
**[11:11] Angie**
You'll be using that for practice.
**[11:13] Angie**
Will it to take on a shape of your choosing.
**[11:18] Chise**
Will it?
**[11:19] Angie**
Yup.
**[11:20] Angie**
Think of your favorite flower, for example.
**[11:25] Chise**
A flower?
**[11:28] Angie**
Air is hot water.
**[11:31] Angie**
You, yourself, are pressure.
**[11:33] Angie**
Therein, the crystal forms.
**[11:36] Angie**
Picture that in your mind.
**[11:47] Chise**
What is my favorite flower?
**[12:00] Chise**
When? Where?
**[12:12] (Flashback) Mom**
Look, Chise.
**[12:16] (Flashback) Mom**
It's a flower garden.
**[12:19] (Flashback) Mom**
How pretty.
**[12:22] (Flashback) Mom**
How pretty, Chise.
**[12:25] Elias**
Chise.
**[12:31] Angie**
Please, Angelica.
**[12:33] Angie**
Don't go teaching my apprentice things.
**[12:38] Chise**
Elias...
**[12:49] Chise**
I-I'm sorry.
**[12:51] Chise**
The room...
**[12:52] Angie**
Ainsworth.
**[12:54] Angie**
What is that young lady?
**[13:10] Angie**
Magic is a miracle,
**[13:12] Angie**
but it isn't omnipotent.
**[13:16] Elias**
She's a Sleigh Beggy.
**[13:22] Angie**
I see.
**[13:24] Angie**
Why didn't you tell me?
**[13:26] Elias**
The less people know, the better.
**[13:31] Elias**
Don't look so worried.
**[13:36] Angie**
Hugo!
**[13:37] Angie**
Why didn't you tell me?
**[13:38] Hugo**
No, well, I mean...
**[13:41] Elias**
She's a special existence to the fairies.
**[13:49] Chise**
I-I'm sorry.
**[13:51] Chise**
I made a mess.
**[13:58] Angie**
You don't need to apologize.
**[14:02] Angie**
Listen, it's that bonehead's fault.
**[14:05] Angie**
That shithead who didn't tell us anything.
**[14:07] Elias**
Shithead?
**[14:08] Angie**
If you can't explain things to your
apprentice, you're nothing but a shithead!
**[14:13] Angie**
Chise, would you do me a favor and get
me the broom and hammer in the back?
**[14:17] Chise**
Yes!
**[14:18] Angie**
What's wrong with you, Ains?
**[14:25] Angie**
I'm charging you extra.
**[14:34] Angie**
Chise.
**[14:35] Chise**
Y-Yes?
**[14:39] Chise**
An ocean alloy knife forged with
the nectar of a crystal moonflower.
**[14:42] Chise**
An overcoat woven from thunderbird feathers.
**[14:45] Chise**
What else? Glashtyn hide, a belt...
**[14:51] Chise**
I think I'll throw in some steelvine
string and a fluorite loupe.
**[16:18] Elias**
So you like poppies, Chise?
**[16:22] Chise**
I'm not sure I actually "like" them.
It's just something I remembered.
**[16:26] Chise**
I saw a flower garden like
that a long time ago.
**[16:33] Chise**
With my mother.
**[16:38] Elias**
Are your parents dead?
**[16:42] Elias**
Or did they abandon you?
**[16:44] Chise**
You're pretty blunt, aren't you?
**[16:47] Elias**
However your past or
upbringing may have been,
**[16:50] Elias**
it makes no difference regarding
the fact that you're here.
**[16:57] Chise**
You're right.
**[17:00] Chise**
His plain, dispassionate words
are somehow comforting and kind.
**[17:14] Chise**
I don't know what my father
is doing, but my mother...
**[17:23] Chise**
She died.
**[17:27] Chise**
In front of my eyes.
**[17:31] Chise**
It was a long time ago.
**[17:43] Simon**
Hey!
**[17:44] Simon**
Ainsworth!
**[17:46] Simon**
Didn't I write back to you saying
I'd be here around now?
**[17:50] Simon**
Why'd you take off just
as I was getting here?
**[17:53] Simon**
You're supposed to be a hermit!
**[17:54] Elias**
I have things to do, too.
**[17:56] Simon**
Your servants hate me.
**[18:00] Simon**
They won't even let me in the house.
**[18:02] Elias**
You didn't have to bother coming.
**[18:08] Simon**
So you're Chise, his new apprentice, right?
**[18:12] Simon**
Hello.
**[18:14] Simon**
My name is Simon.
**[18:15] Simon**
Simon Cullum.
**[18:17] Simon**
I'm here today to ask you two to
do a bit of an errand for me.
**[18:31] Simon**
I waited outside for two whole hours.
**[18:34] Elias**
Simon is the priest at the village church.
**[18:38] Elias**
Although, he does sermons both as a priest
and as a pastor, so he sits on the fence.
**[18:44] Simon**
Call me "studious."
**[18:46] Elias**
You don't need to be tense, Chise.
**[18:49] Elias**
Simon is just a coward.
**[18:51] Simon**
Yes, I am but a pitiful lamb, cowering
in fear of the terrible mage.
**[18:56] Elias**
Die.
**[18:57] Simon**
You pull no punches.
**[18:59] Chise**
They don't get along.
**[19:00] Simon**
It's still cold outside, even
though it's almost summer.
**[19:02] Chise**
Elias is especially spiteful.
**[19:03] Elias**
You could have gone back to
church and come tomorrow, then.
**[19:04] Chise**
Silky, too.
**[19:07] Simon**
But that's a pain in the butt, too.
**[19:11] Simon**
Chise-kun, I think I understand
your situation, now.
**[19:16] Simon**
It must have been terrible.
**[19:18] Simon**
You're free to come to my church if
you ever get sick of this bastard.
**[19:22] Simon**
I'll hear you out.
**[19:24] Elias**
Stop.
**[19:26] Elias**
So?
**[19:32] Simon**
This isn't something we can deal
with, but it should be easy for you.
**[19:38] Elias**
Three?
**[19:39] Elias**
That's quite a few.
**[19:40] Simon**
It's a penalty for your free actions.
**[19:44] Simon**
You've been silent for decades, and now
you've suddenly taken an apprentice.
**[19:49] Simon**
I don't have any option but
to report to the brass.
**[19:52] Elias**
I don't think of myself as
being managed by the church.
**[19:56] Simon**
I know.
**[19:57] Simon**
I'd rather not bother with this, either.
**[20:00] Simon**
We don't want to mess with you mages
who have already lived longer than we know.
**[20:07] Elias**
How many centuries is it going to take
before your superiors rethink their ways?
**[20:13] Simon**
If only God or his son would
write us a letter or two.
**[20:18] Chise**
Is it because I'm here that
you have to bother with this?
**[20:22] Simon**
It's absolutely not your fault.
**[20:25] Simon**
We have all kinds of nasty issues.
**[20:30] Simon**
May I have the usual?
**[20:32] Elias**
Yeah.
**[20:35] Simon**
I heal all the people of this village with
the medicine that Ainsworth makes.
**[20:40] Simon**
Should you learn magic and use it to craft
medicines, they will work miracles.
**[20:47] Simon**
The medicine of a mage is
effective and gentle to the body.
**[20:53] Simon**
Study well.
**[20:56] Chise**
I wouldn't believe he'd think highly
of you, being that he's a priest.
**[21:01] Chise**
Does he?
**[21:02] Elias**
Britain is a land of ancient magic.
**[21:06] Elias**
Mages are an important
part of life here.
**[21:11] Elias**
Now, Chise,
**[21:14] Elias**
why don't we go on our honeymoon
while we run our errands?
**[21:19] Chise**
You weren't kidding about that?
**[21:32] Chise**
Iceland, a volcanic island
in the Arctic Ocean.
**[21:38] Elias**
I'm told that the dragons
are on the move lately.
**[21:42] Elias**
I've been asked to check on them.
**[21:44] Chise**
Dragons?
**[21:53] Elias**
Chise!
**[22:06] (A)**
He's still not very careful, is he?
**[22:09] (A)**
He couldn't even hold
onto his own apprentice.
**[22:13] Chise**
Wh-Who are you?
**[22:16] (A)**
We shall discuss that at our own land.
**[22:20] (A)**
At the last land of the dragons.
**[23:55] Chise**
The two are torn apart.
**[23:57] Chise**
Death and life intertwine
at the ends of the earth.
**[24:00] Chise**
What does the girl see when the
door to her memories are opened?
**[24:05] (A)**
Good night, little mage.
