[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.
