**[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.
