[00:10] Grantz
    You've had quite a lot
    of administrative work to do today.
[00:16] Orphanse
    Ah, Grantz. I'll make some tea.
[00:20] Grantz
    It would be my pleasure
    to join you, Your Majesty.
[00:23] Orphanse
    Don't be so formal.
[00:24] Orphanse
    We're not king and prime minister here.
[00:27] Orphanse
    I just want to speak as friends right now.
[00:30] Grantz
    Understood, Orphanse.
[00:38] Grantz
    Are you troubled over
    Princess Anisphia again?
[00:41] Orphanse
    I've never not been troubled over her!
[00:48] Orphanse
    She's two years older than your Euphyllia,
[00:51] Orphanse
    and yet that imbecile shows
    no signs of settling down.
[00:55] Grantz
    If she settled down, she wouldn't
    be Princess Anisphia anymore.
[00:59] Grantz
    Her magicology research is
    showing results, is it not?
[01:03] Orphanse
    The problem is that she has too much talent
    for causing trouble outside her research.
[01:08] Grantz
    A parent's work is never done.
[01:11] Orphanse
    It seems that even my son has
    become problematic of late.
[01:17] Grantz
    You mean the matter with
    Baron Cyan's daughter?
[01:21] Orphanse
    Yes. That fool Algard...
[01:23] Orphanse
    He has no sense of the standards
    he should strive for as future king.
[01:27] Grantz
    He certainly has been acting quite boldly.
[01:32] Orphanse
    I'm sorry, Grantz.
[01:34] Orphanse
    I know the royal family essentially
    forced this engagement onto you.
[01:38] Grantz
    It's Euphyllia's job to win
    the heart of her betrothed.
[01:42] Grantz
    It should prove to be good experience
    for her as the future queen.
[01:45] Orphanse
    How philosophical of you.
[01:47] Orphanse
    But—
[01:49] Anisphia
    Father!
[01:51] Anisphia
    I pray the evening finds you well.
[01:53] Anisphia
    I, Anisphia...
[01:55] Anisphia
    have taken Lady Euphyllia away!

[03:34] Orphanse
    What is wrong with you?!
[03:36] Orphanse
    What is wrong with you?!
[03:39] Anisphia
    Please... let me explain my reasoning...
[03:42] Orphanse
    Reasoning?! What excuse is
    there for abducting someone?!
[03:46] Anisphia
    I was out for a test flight
    with my Witch's Broom,
[03:49] Anisphia
    and I kind of ended up crashing the
    soirée at the nobles' academy...
[03:53] Orphanse
    And there's yet another
    problem you've caused!
[03:56] Orphanse
    You fool of a daughter!
[03:58] Anisphia
    And then Al said he was breaking off
    his engagement with Lady Euphyllia.
[04:05] Orphanse
    What?
[04:06] Anisphia
    He broke off the engagement.
[04:08] Orphanse
    Whose engagement... with whom?
[04:11] Anisphia
    Al and Lady Euphyllia.
[04:18] Euphyllia
    It's true.
[04:19] Euphyllia
    I am terribly sorry.
[04:28] Orphanse
    In the middle of a soirée...
    in front of all those people...
[04:33] Orphanse
    Of all the times to...
[04:36] Orphanse
    Algard!
[04:38] Orphanse
    What in the world were you thinking?!
[04:45] Anisphia
    Lady Euphyllia...
[04:49] Orphanse
    I'm sorry, Grantz. It seems
    my judgment was premature.
[04:54] Grantz
    Not at all.
[04:56] Grantz
    Euphyllia.
[04:58] Grantz
    I had heard that you and the prince
    had not grown any closer.
[05:03] Euphyllia
    Yes.
[05:05] Grantz
    It is unfortunate that it ended this way.
[05:09] Euphyllia
    I am... very sorry.
[05:12] Grantz
    No need to apologize.
[05:14] Grantz
    What you need to think about now
    is what you will do from here.
[05:20] Euphyllia
    How shall I be punished?
[05:25] Orphanse
    What Euphyllia does from here, eh?
[05:29] Anisphia
    That's it, Father!
[05:31] Anisphia
    That's the great idea
    I came to share with you!
[05:34] Orphanse
    Great idea, you say?
[05:37] Anisphia
    Father, Duke Grantz...
[05:41] Anisphia
    Please give Lady Euphyllia to me!
[05:46] Anisphia
    I'll do everything in my
    power to make her happy!
[05:51] Orphanse
    W...
[05:52] Orphanse
    Wait, wait, wait, wait!
[05:55] Orphanse
    What kind of ridiculous
    joke are you making?!
[05:58] Anisphia
    I'm being completely serious, Father.
[06:00] Orphanse
    That's even more frightening!
[06:03] Anisphia
    What, so either way would be wrong?
[06:05] Orphanse
    You're the one who's wrong!
[06:10] Anisphia
    What I'm saying is...
[06:11] Anisphia
    I want to welcome Lady
    Euphyllia as my assistant!
[06:15] Euphyllia
    Me... as your assistant?
[06:20] Anisphia
    S-So cute...
[06:22] Anisphia
    Those puppy-dog eyes must be
    some sort of magic on their own!
[06:26] Anisphia
    Her entire existence is OP!
[06:36] Anisphia
    Th-The problem here is not that
    the engagement was annulled,
[06:41] Anisphia
    but that he declared it publicly.
[06:43] Anisphia
    Correct?
[06:45] Orphanse
    Well, yes...
[06:46] Orphanse
    Since so many people heard it,
    we can't take it back.
[06:50] Anisphia
    If you want to arrange an engagement for a
    lady who's already been spurned by royalty,
[06:54] Anisphia
    your choice of potential partners is limited.
[06:56] Orphanse
    And as brilliant as Euphyllia is,
[06:58] Orphanse
    I can't just haphazardly hand
    her off to some foreign nation.
[07:02] Anisphia
    After all, Lady Euphyllia...
[07:05] Anisphia
    is loved by the spirits!
[07:07] Anisphia
    They say she commands more magical
    attributes than anyone in history.
[07:14] Anisphia
    And she excels in both etiquette
    and the martial arts! She's a genius!
[07:18] Anisphia
    She's the Kingdom of Palettia's treasure!
[07:21] Anisphia
    The best of the best!
[07:24] Anisphia
    And above all...
[07:26] Anisphia
    She's beautiful and cute!
[07:33] Anisphia
    However, this matter has left a
    stain on her life as a noble lady.
[07:46] Grantz
    So when you say you want her as your
    assistant, you mean in magicology?
[07:50] Anisphia
    The study of magical science that I advocate,
[07:54] Anisphia
    "magicology," will, in my opinion,
    bring about a new age of technology.
[07:59] Grantz
    Well, yes...
[08:00] Grantz
    It is certainly progressive
    and full of unknown potential.
[08:05] Anisphia
    Exactly!
[08:06] Grantz
    If shared with the public,
[08:08] Grantz
    it could greatly impact the entire kingdom.
[08:12] Grantz
    But you have refrained from
    announcing it to the masses.
[08:16] Anisphia
    I don't really like taking center stage.
[08:19] Anisphia
    I just want to immerse
    myself in my research.
[08:22] Grantz
    I see. In other words,
[08:24] Grantz
    you want your achievements
    in magicology to be...
[08:28] Anisphia
    Precisely, Duke Grantz!
[08:31] Anisphia
    Why not have Lady Euphyllia announce
    the results of our joint research
[08:35] Anisphia
    to restore her damaged reputation?
[08:37] Euphyllia
    M-Me?!
[08:40] Grantz
    It could, if nothing else,
[08:41] Grantz
    give people something besides the
    broken engagement to talk about.
[08:45] Anisphia
    Right?!
[08:48] Euphyllia
    But... me as your assistant?
[08:51] Anisphia
    There's plenty that I stand
    to gain from this deal, too.
[08:57] Anisphia
    Given the way I am,
[08:58] Anisphia
    my reputation is so bad that
    I can't hire a skilled assistant.
[09:03] Euphyllia
    But that's...
[09:05] Anisphia
    But you are incredibly talented,
[09:08] Anisphia
    and you'd be the perfect choice
    to promote magicology to the masses.
[09:10] Euphyllia
    But wouldn't I be taking
    all the credit for your work?
[09:15] Anisphia
    Nah.
[09:17] Anisphia
    I'm just doing it out of love!
[09:20] Euphyllia
    For magicology, you mean?
[09:23] Anisphia
    Yep!
[09:24] Anisphia
    It'll change the world we live in.
[09:26] Anisphia
    It's new technology, packed
    with dreams and romanticism!
[09:32] Anisphia
    And if possible, I really want
    you to fall in love, too.
[09:39] Euphyllia
    Y-You're referring to magicology, right?!
[09:43] Orphanse
    Do you remember what you once said to me?
[09:49] Grantz
    Oh, you mean what she said when
    she renounced her right to the throne?
[09:54] Euphyllia
    Father?
[09:56] Grantz
    A long time ago, Princess Anisphia said...
[10:00] (Flashback) Anisphia
    Father!
[10:02] (Flashback) Orphanse
    Hmm? What is it?
[10:04] (Flashback) Anisphia
    I don't want to marry a man!
[10:07] (Flashback) Anisphia
    If I fall in love,
[10:08] (Flashback) Anisphia
    I want it to be with a woman!
[10:12] Orphanse
    Are you just making various excuses
[10:13] Orphanse
    when all you really want
    is to make Euphyllia your own?
[10:21] Anisphia
    Th-That's not... totally wrong,
    but... I mean...
[10:25] Anisphia
    I don't want to accidentally
    get pregnant or anything...
[10:29] Orphanse
    What is wrong with you?!
[10:33] Orphanse
    How dare you speak of such an
    important royal duty in that way?!
[10:37] Anisphia
    Ow! Ow! Ow!
[10:39] Anisphia
    You're gonna crush your
    precious princess's head!
[10:42] Orphanse
    It would match your twisted
    disposition perfectly!
[10:46] Anisphia
    What's the point in passing my genes
    along when I can't even use magic?!
[10:50] Orphanse
    It's not about having any point!
[10:51] Orphanse
    Do you not understand a father's
    desire to see his daughter's child?!
[10:55] Orphanse
    I feel so hopeless, I could cry!
[10:56] Anisphia
    Well, I'm already crying!
    Bawling like a baby!
[11:00] Orphanse
    You haven't shed a single tear!
[11:00] Anisphia
    Can we just say I understand now?!
[11:05] Grantz
    Is this how a parent and child should be?
[11:09] Euphyllia
    Father?
[11:32] Grantz
    I'm sorry, Euphyllia.
[11:35] Euphyllia
    F-Father?
[11:37] Orphanse
    Grantz... bowed his head!
[11:41] Grantz
    You have worked hard to avoid
    shaming the Magenta household.
[11:46] Grantz
    I believed that encouraging you to
    that end was my job as your father.
[11:50] Euphyllia
    Wh-What are you saying?
[11:54] Grantz
    I now feel that I may have been mistaken.
[12:00] Euphyllia
    I'm who I am today because of
    the education you've given me!
[12:04] Euphyllia
    This was all my own fault!
[12:06] Euphyllia
    Because I am insufficient as a duke's
    daughter, and as a future queen...
[12:11] Euphyllia
    I'm a fool who has besmirched
    the name of our—
[12:13] Grantz
    No daughter of mine
[12:15] Grantz
    is a fool.
[12:19] Grantz
    You lived up to all my expectations.
[12:22] Grantz
    Too well, in fact.
[12:25] Grantz
    I've begun to question whether what
    you wanted played any part in it.
[12:30] Euphyllia
    Please stop.
[12:32] Euphyllia
    I really haven't... I'm all right...
[12:46] Grantz
    I'm sure I haven't been
    a very good father...
[12:49] Grantz
    or even a good person.
[12:51] Grantz
    You don't need to worry about our family.
[12:54] Grantz
    If there's something you want,
[12:56] Grantz
    I'll make it happen, even if
    it pits me against the king.
[13:01] Grantz
    Euphyllia...
[13:03] Grantz
    Would becoming queen be too much for you?
[13:36] Orphanse
    Was this really the right thing to do?
[13:39] Grantz
    The princess's villa is an ideal
    place for her to lay low.
[13:43] Grantz
    And her proposal of joint magicology
    research is worth considering.
[13:48] Grantz
    Besides...
[13:49] Orphanse
    Besides?
[13:51] Grantz
    Even if Euphyllia were to be plundered,
[13:54] Grantz
    that might not be so bad.
[13:56] Orphanse
    Grantz!
[13:57] Grantz
    I was joking.
[13:59] Grantz
    But there may be meaning in giving
    Euphyllia to Princess Anisphia.
[14:05] Orphanse
    What do you mean?
[14:07] Grantz
    No law says that there is only one
    path to succeeding the throne.
[14:14] Orphanse
    Should a prime minister
    be saying that to a king?
[14:17] Grantz
    I thought we were supposed to be
    speaking as friends right now.
[14:21] Grantz
    Princess Anisphia could be the
    next ruler of this kingdom.
[14:24] Grantz
    It's not such a bad dream to have, is it?
[14:28] Orphanse
    That's not a dream I ever want to have.
[14:30] Orphanse
    It's just a nightmare.
[14:43] Anisphia
    Are you curious about that?
[14:45] Anisphia
    It's a Thermal Pot,
    made with a fire spirit stone!
[14:49] Euphyllia
    Did you invent it?
[14:51] Anisphia
    It's set to maintain a given temperature,
[14:54] Anisphia
    so it can have tea ready in no time.
[14:56] Ilia
    It can be used for bathwater, as well.
[14:59] Ilia
    I can even wash dishes without
    having the water go cold.
[15:04] Ilia
    Please try some.
[15:09] Euphyllia
    I see.
[15:11] Euphyllia
    It is indeed delicious.
[15:13] Ilia
    Thank you for saying so.
[15:14] Euphyllia
    That's very convenient.
[15:16] Euphyllia
    It seems as though it could
    have many other uses, as well.
[15:19] Anisphia
    Right? You totally get it!
[15:21] Anisphia
    I guess those who get it... really get it.
[15:24] Anisphia
    Oh, hey! Since you're here,
    come see my workshop!
[15:28] Euphyllia
    Huh?
[15:30] Anisphia
    If you're gonna be my assistant,
    you should get a feel for the place first!
[15:36] Euphyllia
    But, Princess Anisphia...
[15:38] Anisphia
    You can call me "Anis."
[15:40] Anisphia
    Oh, and I'll call you "Euphie"!
[15:43] Anisphia
    We're not strangers anymore, after all!
[15:45] Euphyllia
    Er... H-Huh?
[15:48] Ilia
    There's no stopping Miss Anis at this point.
[15:51] Ilia
    Just think of it as being bewitched
    by a demon and give up.
[15:56] Anisphia
    Let's go, Euphie!
[15:58] Euphyllia
    Anis, wai—
[15:59] Anisphia
    Hang on tight!
[16:09] Anisphia
    Welcome to my workshop!
[16:16] Euphyllia
    There are so many things
    I've never seen before...
[16:18] Euphyllia
    You made all these, Princess Anisph—
[16:21] Euphyllia
    I mean, Miss Anis?
[16:24] Anisphia
    That's right! Praise me, Euphie!
[16:27] Euphyllia
    W-Well done.
[16:29] Ilia
    Please don't spoil Miss Anis too much.
[16:37] Euphyllia
    The tools themselves are remarkable,
[16:39] Euphyllia
    but I'm shocked that you even had
    the idea to use spirit stones.
[16:42] Anisphia
    Oh, well, it's spirits that make
    the use of magic possible, right?
[16:47] Anisphia
    But I can't even sense spirits at all,
[16:50] Anisphia
    so I can't use magic.
[16:53] Euphyllia
    I had no idea...
[16:55] Anisphia
    So I had to think of something
    that could replace the spirits!
[17:01] Euphyllia
    You truly are amazing, Miss Anis.
[17:05] Euphyllia
    I've always taken the existence
    of magic and spirits for granted.
[17:09] Euphyllia
    I never even considered why
    they work the way they do.
[17:13] Anisphia
    It's good that you never
    had to think about it.
[17:16] Anisphia
    Since you're compatible with
    so many different spirits,
[17:18] Anisphia
    you're OP enough to use
    any attribute you want.
[17:22] Euphyllia
    OP?
[17:24] Anisphia
    The truth is...
[17:26] Anisphia
    I actually envy people who can
    use magic. Just a little bit.
[17:32] Euphyllia
    Um...
[17:33] Ilia
    Because as a princess who can't use magic,
[17:36] Ilia
    Miss Anis is the very definition
    of a useless royal.
[17:40] Anisphia
    Disrespect! Pure disrespect!
    Off with your head!
[17:43] Anisphia
    How could you say such a thing?!
[17:45] Ilia
    In the Kingdom of Palettia,
[17:47] Ilia
    it is said that those who formed
    contracts with greater spirits
[17:50] Ilia
    were the primogenitors of the royal
    and noble families, is it not?
[17:53] Anisphia
    Yeah, but... I know, but...
[17:56] Ilia
    Which means the current royalty and nobility
[17:58] Ilia
    are qualified to be as such
    by the authority of magic.
[18:02] Ilia
    Miss Anis, on the other hand...
[18:03] Anisphia
    Yeah, but...
[18:05] Anisphia
    Magic tools have even more
    potential than magic itself!
[18:09] Anisphia
    You just don't get it at all, Ilia!
[18:10] Euphyllia
    If something equivalent to magic could be
    used to give the people more freedom...
[18:11] Ilia
    We're not talking about something more
    than magic. We're talking about magic.
[18:15] Anisphia
    But you use the Thermal Pot, too!
[18:16] Euphyllia
    How would the very conservative nobles
    feel about their loss of authority?
[18:20] Anisphia
    What's that supposed to mean?!
    I won't let you use it anymore!
[18:20] Euphyllia
    This young woman will prove to be a
    powerful medicine for this kingdom.
[18:26] Ilia
    Lady Euphyllia?
[18:28] Euphyllia
    Um, it's nothing...
[18:31] Anisphia
    Well, it's late, so we're done for today,
[18:33] Anisphia
    but to celebrate your arrival here,
    I'll make you a special magic tool!
[18:38] Euphyllia
    For me?
[18:41] Anisphia
    Look forward to it!
[18:46] Euphyllia
    Miss Anis, please stop!
[18:49] Anisphia
    This stuff's hard to take off
    alone, isn't it? So I'll help!
[18:52] Euphyllia
    Wait...
[19:00] Anisphia
    You can borrow some of my pajamas.
[19:03] Euphyllia
    Thank you...
[19:07] Euphyllia
    Now please go over there.
[19:16] Anisphia
    Come join me, my lady.
[19:20] Anisphia
    I was just kidding! I won't do anything!
[19:27] Euphyllia
    Please excuse me.
[19:32] Anisphia
    Thanks for coming with me today.
[19:34] Anisphia
    I know a lot has happened,
[19:36] Anisphia
    but I hope you'll see the appeal
    of magicology and myself soon.
[19:43] Euphyllia
    Yes... You are just as crazy
    as the rumors say...
[19:49] Euphyllia
    And even more mysterious.
[19:53] Euphyllia
    Just... what are you?
[19:57] Anisphia
    What... do you mean?
[20:00] Euphyllia
    Just from what happened today, I can tell
[20:02] Euphyllia
    that you are very clever,
    and that you have big dreams.
[20:07] Euphyllia
    I'm sure you're capable of living
    more freely than anyone else.
[20:11] Euphyllia
    So why did you help me?
[20:15] Euphyllia
    Someone like me, who wasn't
    even your friend...
[20:20] Anisphia
    I had lots of reasons.
[20:24] Anisphia
    Part of it was that I like you,
    and part of it was self-interest.
[20:28] Anisphia
    But the biggest reason was
    because you're perfect.
[20:33] Euphyllia
    Um...
[20:35] Anisphia
    You've always been calm and
    in control of your emotions.
[20:40] Anisphia
    Even after what happened at the soirée,
[20:42] Anisphia
    you still tried to remain
    strong and righteous.
[20:47] Anisphia
    You really are the perfect duke's daughter.
[20:49] Anisphia
    I guess that's why I just
    couldn't leave you alone.
[20:53] Euphyllia
    I don't understand. You can't leave
    me alone because I'm perfect?
[21:02] Anisphia
    If you're someone who can smile on
    your own, you can do what you want.
[21:06] Anisphia
    But it didn't look like you were
    able to do that as you are now.
[21:17] Anisphia
    If I really am as free as you say,
[21:20] Anisphia
    then I just can't help reaching out
    to someone who lacks that freedom.
[21:27] Euphyllia
    And that was your only reason for...
[21:30] Anisphia
    It may seem like a trivial thing,
    but it's very important to me.
[21:37] Anisphia
    Magicians should use their
    magic to make others smile.
[21:46] Anisphia
    You've worked so hard.
[21:49] Anisphia
    Just rest now, Euphie.
[21:58] Euphyllia
    Goodnight.
