[00:05] Stella
    Where'd you get that?
[00:07] Stella
    Isn't that the same one Elias has?
[00:09] Chise
    I'm holding on to it for Elias.
[00:19] Chise
    Ruth?
[00:22] Chise
    The sea.
[00:23] Ruth
    Sea...
[00:34] Chise
    This all seems familiar.
[00:38] Chise
    Huh?
[00:38] Chise
    Stella?
[00:39] Chise
    Where's Stella?
[00:40] Ruth
    I don't sense her nearby.
[00:44] Rahab
    Ah, you're here.
[00:49] Rahab
    It's been a while since
    I've summoned anyone.
[00:51] Rahab
    I wasn't sure I did it right.
[00:54] Rahab
    So I'm glad you made it.
[00:57] Chise
    Who are...
[00:59] Rahab
    Hello, young lady.
[01:01] Rahab
    My name is Rahab.
[01:03] Rahab
    Mage, sorcerer, demon of the sea...
[01:06] Rahab
    Call me whatever you'd like.
[01:08] Chise
    Um, I had a friend with me.
[01:11] Rahab
    Don't worry.
[01:12] Rahab
    She'll merely be lost in
    the fog for a brief time.
[01:18] Rahab
    It seems to be authentic.
[01:21] Rahab
    I sensed someone else wearing
    the necktie I'd given him.
[01:26] Rahab
    I had my doubts, but...
[01:29] Rahab
    Glad to see he's doing well.
[01:31] Rahab
    And he's changed quite a bit, too.
[01:37] Chise
    Are you Lindel-san's master, by chance?
[01:40] Rahab
    Lindel?!
[01:41] Rahab
    You've met Lindel, too?
[01:43] Rahab
    Fantastic!
[01:44] Rahab
    Is he doing well?
[01:46] Chise
    Uh, yes.
[01:47] Rahab
    So, who might you be to Elias?
[03:32] Angelica
    Hey.
[03:33] Angelica
    I heard you've started your new life.
[03:36] Angelica
    I figured you'd have a lot of expenses,
[03:38] Angelica
    so I brought this to celebrate.
[03:40] Elias
    Thanks.
[03:42] Angelica
    Where's Chise?
[03:43] Elias
    She's with Stella right now.
[03:45] Elias
    Shall I call her?
[03:46] Angelica
    No, it's fine.
[03:48] Angelica
    She needs her quality time.
[03:52] Elias
    I see.
[03:54] Angelica
    I'm glad she's doing better.
[03:57] Elias
    Yeah.
[04:00] Angelica
    She gave you that necktie
    for Christmas, didn't she?
[04:05] Elias
    Yeah.
[04:06] Angelica
    Where's yours?
[04:07] Elias
    Chise has it right now.
[04:09] Angelica
    I see, I see.
[04:12] Angelica
    I remember begging you for it way back when.
[04:17] Elias
    I thought I wouldn't mind letting
    it go, but I couldn't do it.
[04:24] Angelica
    So why'd you give it to Chise?
[04:30] Chise
    Um...
[04:31] Chise
    He's teaching me magic.
[04:33] Chise
    I'm his apprentice.
[04:35] Rahab
    You seemed a lot closer than just that.
[04:38] Chise
    Ah, um... well...
[04:41] Ruth
    Chise's teaching him about being human.
[04:44] Rahab
    About being human?
[04:46] Ruth
    His bride.
[04:49] Rahab
    Bride?
[04:54] Rahab
    Was that his idea?
[04:57] Chise
    Er, yes.
[04:59] Rahab
    Oh, dear...
[05:03] Chise
    Um...
[05:06] Rahab
    Would you like to come
    inside to talk some more?
[05:09] Rahab
    I'll need to thank you for
    being his student and teacher.
[05:13] Chise
    I'd love to.
[05:15] Chise
    But...
[05:16] Rahab
    You needn't worry about time.
[05:19] Rahab
    That's the kind of place this is.
[05:22] Rahab
    Still, to think you're teaching him
     about being human... my goodness.
[05:27] Rahab
    May I ask your name?
[05:30] Rahab
    I'm in the mood to call
    someone by their name.
[05:35] Rahab
    Have a seat wherever you'd like.
[05:37] Rahab
    Is coffee all right?
[05:39] Chise
    Yes.
[05:58] Chise
    Sea breeze, damp rocks, old
    wood, and the scent of fire.
[06:08] Rahab
    I'm sorry, I don't have any milk.
[06:11] Ruth
    I'm not that much of a dog.
[06:13] Rahab
    All right.
[06:21] Chise
    It's odd...
[06:23] Chise
    I'm sure this is our first
    time meeting, and yet...
[06:27] Rahab
    Here you are.
[06:29] Chise
    Thank you.
[06:31] Rahab
    Make yourself at home.
[06:33] Rahab
    Just pretend you're visiting
    your grandma way back home.
[06:37] Rahab
    Okay?
[06:40] Chise
    You do resemble them.
[06:41] Rahab
    Resemble whom?
[06:44] Chise
    Lindel-san and Elias.
[06:47] Rahab
    I suppose it's true that you become
    like the company you keep.
[06:50] Rahab
    Those two came here when
    they were only this tall.
[06:54] Chise
    Elias, too?
[06:57] Rahab
    Yeah.
[06:58] Rahab
    He lived here for a while.
[07:01] Chise
    I thought he'd been traveling right
    after he parted ways with Lindel-san.
[07:07] Rahab
    This place is disconnected from
    everywhere and everywhen.
[07:11] Rahab
    And yet, it's joined with every place.
[07:14] Rahab
    I was sure we'd meet again...
[07:20] Rahab
    He arrived...
[07:23] Rahab
    with his shoulders slouched, as though
    he'd been completely worn down.
[07:28] (Flashback) Rahab
    Elias.
[07:30] (Flashback) Rahab
    I thought you were with Lindel.
[07:33] (Flashback) Elias
    Teach me, Rahab...
[07:36] (Flashback) Elias
    There's so much I don't know.
[07:40] (Flashback) Elias
    There are too many humans.
[07:42] (Flashback) Elias
    They're all the same, yet far too different.
[07:45] (Flashback) Elias
    I don't know what to do.
[07:49] (Flashback) Elias
    I don't know who to imitate.
[07:53] (Flashback) Rahab
    Elias...
[07:55] (Flashback) Elias
    So I want to follow your lead.
[07:58] (Flashback) Elias
    I'm certain that if I copy you,
    I'll do well among the humans.
[08:11] (Flashback) Rahab
    You like humans, don't you, Elias?
[08:16] (Flashback) Elias
    I don't know.
[08:17] (Flashback) Elias
    But something in my body is
    telling me that I want to know.
[08:24] (Flashback) Elias
    I think.
[08:27] Rahab
    For a few years, or maybe a few decades,
    Elias lived here and imitated me.
[08:33] Rahab
    The way I ate, the way I walked, the way I slept,
[08:37] Rahab
    the way I read, the way I plowed the fields,
    the I interacted with things...
[08:44] Rahab
    But there were some things
    I couldn't let him copy.
[08:49] (Flashback) Elias
    Rahab.
[08:51] (Flashback) Elias
    How do you smile or get angry?
[08:55] (Flashback) Elias
    Do you need muscles to do it?
[08:57] (Flashback) Rahab
    You don't need flesh to move.
[08:59] (Flashback) Rahab
    If you enjoy an experience,
    that counts as smiling.
[09:02] (Flashback) Elias
    Enjoyment...
[09:05] (Flashback) Elias
    What is enjoyment?
[09:10] Rahab
    And one day, he left for good.
[09:18] Rahab
    I haven't seen him since.
[09:21] Rahab
    I'm glad he's doing well.
[09:24] Chise
    That's why Elias is so much like you.
[09:28] Rahab
    I couldn't even teach him to smile, though.
[09:32] Rahab
    I'm a failure as a teacher.
[09:36] Rahab
    I don't remember when,
    but I taught him about family.
[09:41] Rahab
    At the time, I taught him that a family is
     a collection of people that help one another.
[09:47] (Flashback) Elias
    Grandfather, grandmother.
[09:49] (Flashback) Elias
    Father, mother.
[09:51] (Flashback) Elias
    Child.
[09:52] (Flashback) Rahab
    This relationship makes them cousins.
[09:55] (Flashback) Elias
    And this?
[09:56] (Flashback) Rahab
    A bride.
[09:58] (Flashback) Elias
    A bride?
[09:59] (Flashback) Elias
    What does that relationship entail?
[10:03] (Flashback) Rahab
    It's... someone you want to be with?
[10:06] (Flashback) Elias
    Someone you want to be with?
[10:08] (Flashback) Elias
    Someone you want by your side.
[10:10] (Flashback) Elias
    Someone you think you should stay with.
[10:12] (Flashback) Rahab
    It's not just brides, either.
[10:14] (Flashback) Rahab
    They may be a wife, a spouse, a husband...
[10:18] (Flashback) Rahab
    They're a partner.
[10:21] (Flashback) Elias
    A partner.
[10:22] (Flashback) Elias
    Someone you want to be with.
[10:25] (Flashback) Elias
    Do you mean someone to live with?
[10:28] (Flashback) Rahab
    That's very literal, but you could say that.
[10:31] (Flashback) Elias
    Are you my bride?
[10:33] (Flashback) Rahab
    Most certainly not.
[10:37] (Flashback) Rahab
    You'll have to find a bride just for you.
[10:41] (Flashback) Rahab
    Got it?
[10:43] (Flashback) Elias
    Okay.
[10:46] Rahab
    I mean...
[10:47] Rahab
    I tried my best to explain, I swear.
[10:52] Chise
    I get it.
[10:53] Chise
    I greatly appreciate your effort.
[10:56] Rahab
    Thank you.
[10:58] Chise
    I see...
[11:00] Chise
    So that's what that was about.
[11:03] Rahab
    You must be disappointed.
[11:06] Rahab
    His idea of a bride might be different
    from what you have in mind.
[11:12] Rahab
    If that's the case, it's my fault.
[11:18] Elias
    When Chise was asleep with her
    injuries after fighting Joseph,
[11:24] Elias
    I couldn't stop wondering...
[11:26] Elias
    Why does Chise continue to act
    even when it brings her harm?
[11:31] Angelica
    You're worried.
[11:33] Elias
    I don't want her to get hurt.
[11:36] Elias
    At first, I was content as
    long as she didn't die.
[11:41] Elias
    Now, even the slightest cut or
    the mildest illness upsets me.
[11:47] Elias
    Ruth said once that nothing
     is important to Chise.
[11:52] Elias
    That even if Chise herself values something,
[11:56] Elias
    she doesn't expect to be
    valued the same way herself.
[12:00] Elias
    So when she's hurt, she doesn't
    consider that someone else
[12:04] Elias
    might also be hurt just by
    seeing her that way.
[12:06] Elias
    Nor does she have any
     intent of sharing her pain.
[12:09] Elias
    She believes her pain is her own to suffer.
[12:15] Elias
    So...
[12:17] (Flashback) Elias
    Chise.
[12:19] (Flashback) Elias
    Could you wear this?
[12:22] (Flashback) Chise
    This is...
[12:23] (Flashback) Elias
    I can't have it break.
[12:25] (Flashback) Elias
    So I'd like you to hold on to it.
[12:27] (Flashback) Chise
    But if it's important to you,
    I shouldn't be the one holding onto it—
[12:34] (Flashback) Elias
    You won't go getting yourself into
    trouble if you're holding this.
[12:38] (Flashback) Elias
    Since you don't know how to act
    without putting yourself on the line,
[12:41] (Flashback) Elias
    I want you to act in a way that
    won't allow this to be broken.
[12:44] (Flashback) Chise
    It's scary when you put it that way.
[12:47] (Flashback) Elias
    Good, it was supposed to be.
[12:49] (Flashback) Elias
    I can't have you getting a hole
     in your stomach again.
[12:53] (Flashback) Chise
    I understand.
[12:55] (Flashback) Chise
    I'll hold on to it.
[12:57] Elias
    That's right.
[12:58] Elias
    I can't have her break.
[13:02] Elias
    It frightens me when she
    doesn't take care of herself.
[13:07] Elias
    What?
[13:08] Angelica
    Well.
[13:10] Elias
    What? Why are you smirking?
[13:14] Chise
    Bride...
[13:16] Chise
    I'm not really functioning as one,
    so I'm not particularly disappointed.
[13:20] Rahab
    I see.
[13:22] Chise
    Besides, whether I'm his bride or not,
[13:26] Chise
    it doesn't change the fact
     that I'm at his side.
[13:29] Chise
    You said you couldn't
    even teach him to smile.
[13:34] Chise
    But Elias is definitely smiling.
[13:37] Chise
    He might not know it himself,
    but he's smiling for sure.
[13:40] Chise
    At least, that's what it looks like.
[13:43] Chise
    He gets angry, too.
[13:45] Ruth
    Because you make him mad.
[13:48] Chise
    He gets frustrated, and even jealous.
[13:53] Chise
    I'm just guessing, but he
    seems to be giddy these days.
[13:59] Rahab
    Giddy...
[14:03] Rahab
    Really?
[14:04] Rahab
    That's what you're seeing, is it?
[14:06] Rahab
    How fortunate that he's met you.
[14:10] Chise
    I'm not sure how to explain it, but Elias
    isn't really interested in food or his home.
[14:17] Chise
    But he has a home he lives in.
[14:21] Chise
    He takes care of his yard.
[14:23] Chise
    He has a farm.
[14:26] Chise
    And he's a proper mage.
[14:28] Chise
    I'm certain it's all because
    he imitated you, Rahab-san.
[14:34] Chise
    And that's the Elias who rescued me.
[14:38] Chise
    So that was thanks to you, too.
[14:43] Rahab
    The gods and the fairies
    are right there with you.
[14:48] (Flashback) Rahab
    Even if no one will pay you any heed,
[14:51] (Flashback) Rahab
    even if you're sad, and distraught, and lonely,
[14:54] (Flashback) Rahab
    they'll always be watching over you.
[14:57] (Flashback) Rahab
    So have confidence and work
    on saving yourself, Elias.
[15:06] Chise
    Thank you for helping me and Elias.
[15:13] Rahab
    You mustn't scare an old
    lady like that, Miss.
[15:19] Rahab
    I'm so glad you're Elias's partner.
[15:26] Chise
    I'll come back.
[15:28] Rahab
    Would you mind not telling
    him that you've met me?
[15:31] Chise
    Why not?
[15:32] Rahab
    It was out of concern, but I was
    technically surveilling him.
[15:36] Rahab
    Besides, you ought to learn how to
    handle secrets, facts, and truths.
[15:42] Chise
    I thought mages were supposed
    to make an effort not to lie.
[15:46] Rahab
    Conceal the truth without telling lies.
[15:49] Rahab
    It's an important part of
    keeping the advantage
[15:51] Rahab
    when you're negotiating with neighbors.
[15:54] Rahab
    I can't give any more advice
    as a human, but Chise,
[16:00] Rahab
    you'll be perplexed by many things
    you can see and many you can't.
[16:05] Rahab
    You'll even have trouble
    choosing what to do.
[16:09] Rahab
    Still, I trust that our arms and
    legs will know what must be done.
[16:17] Stella
    Chise!
[16:19] Chise
    Stella.
[16:20] Stella
    Did you see that crazy fog?
[16:24] Chise
    I did.
[16:27] Stella
    Chise?
[16:57] Philomela
    No matter how many times I check,
    it's just tea imbued with magic power.
[17:15] Chise
    Elias.
[17:17] Chise
    Are you sure you shouldn't be
    in a little more of a hurry?
[17:20] Elias
    It'll be fine.
[17:22] Elias
    Remember how I said I'd take a back passage?
[17:24] Chise
    A back passage...
[17:29] Elias
    Looks like our guide is here.
[17:31] Chise
    Guimph?
[17:35] Hazel
    Man, I'm so late.
[17:39] Hazel
    I went back to my herd, and they wouldn't
    stop nagging me to get married and stuff.
[17:46] Hazel
    Now, then...
[17:48] Hazel
    There are back passages all over the place.
[17:52] Hazel
    An old abandoned house, a yard gate...
[17:55] Hazel
    Under a fallen tree, a cavernous root...
[17:59] Hazel
    An unused little bridge, a footpath gate...
[18:02] Hazel
    Even something like this.
[18:05] Chise
    A phone booth.
[18:08] Hazel
    Not that I use special back
    passages very often myself.
[18:13] Chise
    Why not?
[18:18] Hazel & Elias
    Because they aren't safe.
[18:25] Hazel
    Don't let go of my hand.
[18:27] Hazel
    There's no telling what'll
    happen if you get lost.
[18:30] Elias
    The back passages are channels
    through this realm.
[18:34] Hazel
    Although we tend to call them back
    passages if there are no humans.
[18:38] Hazel
    This place is a bit special.
[18:41] Elias
    Time and coordinates are quite twisted.
[18:45] Elias
    That's why the entrance and the
    exit can be quite close together.
[18:49] Ruth
    In other words, we can travel
    in a short amount of time.
[18:53] Chise
    So we can commute to
    the College through here?
[18:58] Elias
    That's right.
[18:59] Chise
    Do the other mages use it often, too?
[19:02] Elias
    I'm not sure.
[19:04] Hazel
    I wouldn't recommend it.
[19:08] Hazel
    I have a contract with them,
    but it's still unpredictable.
[19:13] Elias
    "Them"?
[19:18] Hazel
    See?
[19:20] Hazel
    They've caught our scent.
[19:23] Hazel
    These pesky guard dogs...
[19:26] Hazel
    We call them the "hound dogs."
[19:30] Chise
    Dogs?
[19:31] Ruth
    Dogs...
[19:32] Hazel
    Hey, brothers.
[19:34] Hazel
    I have a gentleman here who wants
    to get from where we entered
[19:37] Hazel
    to where we're leaving every day.
[19:40] Hazel
    We won't make a mess, and we've
    brought payment for passage.
[19:44] Hazel
    Would you mind letting them through?
[19:50] Elias
    What did it say?
[19:51] Hazel
    As long as we stay in this region.
[19:54] Hazel
    And go nowhere else.
[20:02] Elias
    And if we do?
[20:11] Hound
    We'll chase you forever.
[20:11] Chise
    "We'll chase you forever."
[20:16] Hazel
    You heard 'em.
[20:23] Hazel
    Swallow that for me.
[20:30] Hazel
    That's the worst of it.
[20:36] Hazel
    Let's get out of here.
[20:40] Hazel
    Try to use the same entrance
    and exit as much as you can.
[20:44] Hazel
    To be honest, I don't actually know
    how much they'll tolerate, either.
[21:12] Hazel
    They wouldn't stop nagging
    me to get married and stuff.
[21:16] Rahab
    His idea of a bride might be different
    from what you have in mind.
[21:22] Chise
    Elias.
[21:26] Chise
    When we first met, why did you say
     you intended to make me your bride?
[21:40] Alexandra
    Any changes to your health?
[21:43] Zoe
    I feel safe as long as I have
    my earmuffs and goggles.
[21:47] Alexandra
    Is there anything that's been
    making you more anxious lately?
[21:51] Zoe
    Let's see...
[21:53] Zoe
    Do you know of another new student
    here named Chise Hatori?
[22:08] Lucy
    No...
[22:11] Lucy
    No...
[22:14] Lucy
    No!
[22:16] Lucy
    No!
[22:22] Lucy
    Awful.
