**[02:11] Yuri**
Fire Lance!
**[02:28] Albert**
Sei!
**[03:28] Sei**
* It's been three months since I returned*
* to the royal capital from Klausner's Domain.*
**[03:32] Sei**
*Summertime is almost upon us.*
**[03:35] Sei**
*This will be my second summer in this world.*
**[03:39] Sei**
*Following my return,*
**[03:41] Sei**
* the royal palace has sent me*
* to various areas to dispatch monsters.*
**[03:45] Sei**
* At present, we've purified*
* all known miasma swamps.*
**[03:50] Sei**
* And thankfully,*
* the purified regions have all seen*
**[03:54] Sei**
*a significant decrease in monsters.*
**[04:00] Sei**
* I've settled into this routine*
* of investigation and purification.*
**[04:06] Sei**
* Although, since the knights take care*
* of the regions without miasma swamps,*
**[04:11] Sei**
*I've actually had a bit of free time lately.*
**[04:15] Sei**
*And one day...*
**[04:19] Researcher**
We need help!
**[04:20] Researcher**
Yes!
***SIGN*** "The Trading Company"
**[04:29] Researcher**
What a haul!
**[04:34] Sei**
What's all this? There's so much stuff...
**[04:37] Jude**
Oh, Sei. Good morning.
**[04:39] Sei**
Good morning. What's going on here?
**[04:42] Jude**
We received all of this from
Klausner's Domain early this morning.
**[04:45] Sei**
From Klausner's Domain?
**[04:46] Jude**
Indeed. But it's a little too much...
**[05:01] Johan**
Sei.
**[05:04] Johan**
Your share is over there.
**[05:08] Jude**
Yup.
**[05:18] Sei**
This is all for me?
**[05:20] Johan**
Apparently so.
**[05:21] Sei**
What's it doing here?
**[05:23] Johan**
It had your name on it.
**[05:25] Johan**
Since we don't know what's inside,
**[05:27] Johan**
we couldn't just leave it in the storehouse
where anyone could open it.
**[05:31] Sei**
*Oh, I see.*
**[05:33] Johan**
Here. There's a letter, too.
**[05:40] Corinna**
* It's been a long time, Sei.*
* I hope you're doing well.*
**[05:43] Corinna**
*Things are the same as ever here.*
**[05:45] Corinna**
* Even after your departure, those fools keep*
* demanding a stupid number of potions.*
**[05:52] Corinna**
*I swear, there's no end of trouble.*
**[05:55] Corinna**
* Nevertheless, I thought it would be*
* tough to replant all those herbs*
**[06:01] Corinna**
* and tend to the forest*
* destroyed by slimes, and yet...*
**[06:06] Corinna**
* I don't know how, but the forest*
* has returned to its verdant glory.*
**[06:12] Corinna**
*In fact, it's recovered even more than that.*
**[06:14] Corinna**
* I've been able to collect herbs*
* that used to be so hard to find!*
**[06:19] Corinna**
*I just have* no idea *who might have
been kind enough to help us out so,*
**[06:26] Corinna**
*but I'm dearly grateful for it.*
**[06:28] Corinna**
*Well then, be sure to visit us again.*
**[06:31] Corinna**
*I'll be waiting. Sincerely, Corinna.*
**[06:35] Johan**
What does it say?
**[06:36] Sei**
It's a thank-you letter
for dispatching the monsters.
**[06:39] Sei**
It seems the herbs are a gift.
**[06:42] Johan**
I see. You must have gone overboard again.
**[06:46] Sei**
How rude.
**[06:47] Sei**
That's not true...
**[06:49] Sei**
*At least, I don't think so.*
**[06:51] Johan**
I'm no less suspicious.
**[06:56] Johan**
Well, either way, it looks like we'll be able
to make some real headway in our work.
**[07:00] Johan**
A lot of research projects have
been on hold due to the herb shortage.
**[07:04] Sei**
Yes, I'd like some
of this gift to use right away
**[07:09] Sei**
on the new cosmetics I'm making.
**[07:14] Johan**
New cosmetics?
**[07:16] Sei**
Is there a problem?
**[07:18] Johan**
Er, no.
**[07:19] Johan**
Do you intend to sell them
through the trading company?
**[07:22] Sei**
I wasn't really planning
on selling the products.
**[07:25] Johan**
I see. Very well, then.
**[07:30] Johan**
But if you're the one making them,
**[07:32] Johan**
I'm sure there are people
who'd love to buy them.
***SIGN*** Everyone
would
love
them!
***SIGN*** Me too!

**[07:50] Sei**
I suppose.
**[07:52] Sei**
I should get advice from the trading
company I worked with last time.
**[07:57] Johan**
Yes, they'll be the ones
making and selling the products
**[08:01] Johan**
based on your recipes.
**[08:03] Johan**
I'll go ahead and contact them for you.
**[08:07] Sei**
I appreciate it.
**[08:09] Johan**
In the meantime,
we need to store all this somewhere else.
**[08:13] Sei**
My apologies for the trouble.
**[08:16] Johan**
Right back at you.
**[08:18] Sei**
Huh?
**[08:18] Johan**
You were suddenly summoned to our world
**[08:21] Johan**
and you've worked hard for
our kingdom without complaint.
**[08:27] Johan**
This is the least I can do.
**[08:32] Sei**
Thank you for always helping me.
**[08:50] Marie**
You seem like you've grown
accustomed to dressing.
**[08:55] Sei**
K-Kind of you to say so...
**[08:59] Marie**
If I may ask, what are these, Lady Sei?
**[09:04] Sei**
Oh, those are new cosmetics
I'm working on right now.
**[09:09] Marie**
Did you say new cosmetics, my lady?
**[09:12] Sei**
Yes, I'm researching a cream
that can beautify your skin.
**[09:17] Marie**
Beautify your skin?
**[09:19] Marie**
What a splendid and noble project.
**[09:23] Maids**
Lady Sei!
**[09:25] Sei**
Huh... Wh-What?
**[09:25] Maids**
Please show me, too!
**[09:27] Maids**
It beautifies skin?!
**[09:28] Maids**
Please show me!
**[09:29] Maids**
Me too, Lady Sei!
**[09:31] Marie**
Pipe down now, girls!
**[09:36] Marie**
How dare you act so shamelessly
in front of Lady Sei!
**[09:41] Sei**
It's still a work in progress,
**[09:43] Sei**
but I'd like you all to try it out for me
after I make sure
**[09:46] Sei**
it's safe to use by testing it on myself.
**[09:49] Sei**
I'll be counting on you then.
**[09:53] Maids**
Of course!
**[09:54] Maids**
Please let us help!
**[09:56] Maids**
I'd be happy to!
**[09:57] Maids**
That's our Lady Sei!
**[10:05] Sei**
May I come in?
**[10:07] Johan**
Yes, we've been expecting you.
**[10:21] Johan**
Sorry to call you so early.
**[10:23] Sei**
It's nothing...
**[10:24] Johan**
Meet Franz and Oscar.
**[10:26] Franz**
Nice to meet you. My name is Franz.
**[10:29] Oscar**
And I'm Oscar.
**[10:30] Oscar**
It's nice to meet you.
**[10:31] Sei**
It's nice to meet you, too. I'm Sei.
**[10:42] Johan**
I called you here to talk about
starting your own trading company.
**[10:47] Sei**
You mean one for myself?
**[10:49] Johan**
That's right.
**[10:51] Johan**
Remember the cosmetics you created before?
**[10:54] Johan**
They're being handled
by the trading company my family runs.
**[10:59] Franz**
Your products are incredible hits
and have the potential
**[11:03] Franz**
to garner both unbelievable
popularity and profits.
**[11:08] Johan**
Since your products are so beloved,
**[11:12] Johan**
other trading companies
are giving the current operation grief.
**[11:15] Oscar**
I've heard that there are so
many orders from the nobility
**[11:20] Oscar**
that Count Valdec himself
had to step in to mediate.
**[11:24] Sei**
I had no idea...
**[11:26] Johan**
Don't worry about it. It's not your fault.
**[11:29] Johan**
However, we can't release your new
product under the circumstances.
**[11:34] Johan**
You should create your own trading company
to be the sole distributor of your products.
**[11:41] Sei**
But can this really be solved just by
selling the products under a different name?
**[11:48] Johan**
Who would dare interfere
with an operation run by the Saint?
**[11:51] Sei**
*Wait, is that the deal?*
**[11:53] Franz**
Indeed, indeed.
**[11:58] Sei**
But Director, even if the trading
company is under my name,
**[12:01] Sei**
all I know how to do is develop new products.
**[12:03] Johan**
I know. That's why these two are here.
**[12:07] Johan**
You just need to keep creating
new products as you think of them.
**[12:12] Oscar**
With your permission, we would like
to take care of running your storefronts,
**[12:19] Oscar**
preparing other items,
and managing the inventory.
**[12:23] Sei**
Goodness, in that case, I really don't mind.
**[12:27] Sei**
I'd be very grateful for the help...
**[12:32] Johan**
Then it's decided.
**[12:34] Sei**
I'll be counting on you from now on.
**[12:37] Oscar**
We're looking forward
to working with you, my lady.
**[13:11] Sei**
It seems to be a success.
**[13:13] Oscar**
It certainly is.
Your cosmetics are quite popular, Lady Sei.
**[13:17] Sei**
I heard that only nobles
were buying them before.
**[13:21] Oscar**
That's because we couldn't
keep up with demand.
**[13:24] Oscar**
I'm told that's why we marketed
the products exclusively to nobles.
**[13:28] Oscar**
But even so, they're famous
among merchant families.
**[13:32] Sei**
*Huh, so that's the real story.*
**[13:35] Oscar**
So I'm glad we were able to expand
our demographic with your idea, Lady Sei.
**[13:41] Oscar**
Franz was appreciative as well.
**[13:43] Sei**
* It's really easy to talk to Oscar*
* because he isn't so stuffy.*
**[13:48] Sei**
I see. That's good to hear.
**[13:50] Albert**
And what idea was that?
**[13:52] Oscar**
A new way to sell our products.
**[13:55] Oscar**
She suggested offering cosmetics
with differing levels of efficacy.
**[14:03] Sei**
Is everything going well at the store?
**[14:05] Oscar**
Yes. Many of the new hires
are highly talented.
**[14:08] Oscar**
I think we're in good shape.
**[14:10] Sei**
I'm glad.
**[14:11] Oscar**
What's next?
**[14:12] Oscar**
Do you want to stop by the shop?
**[14:14] Sei**
Not today. It looks pretty crowded.
**[14:18] Oscar**
Understood. Will you be going
straight home, then?
**[14:21] Sei**
That's the plan.
**[14:23] Oscar**
You came all the way to the royal capital.
Why not make a little detour?
**[14:27] Sei**
Huh?
**[14:28] Oscar**
There's a newly opened café
around here that's pretty popular.
**[14:33] Oscar**
You can enjoy exotic imported tea there.
**[14:37] Oscar**
It's been all the rage with the nobles lately.
**[14:42] Sei**
*How interesting.*
**[14:47] Sei**
* But the commander is currently*
* here as my bodyguard...*
**[14:52] Sei**
* I would feel bad dragging him*
* around the capital.*
**[14:55] Albert**
Where is it?
**[14:59] Oscar**
Go straight down this way.
**[15:01] Oscar**
Then turn at the flower shop.
**[15:03] Oscar**
Follow that road and you'll see it
right across from a large pharmacy.
**[15:09] Oscar**
You might spot the line for it
as soon as you round the corner.
**[15:14] Albert**
Got it. Thank you.
**[15:16] Sei**
Um, Lord Hawke...
**[15:18] Albert**
Aren't you curious?
**[15:19] Sei**
Huh?
**[15:26] Sei**
Yes.
**[15:26] Albert**
Then let's stop by.
**[15:29] Sei**
Th-Thank you very much.
**[16:05] Sei**
Wow!
**[16:07] Albert**
Looks like this is the place.
**[16:13] Clerk**
Welcome. Will it be a table for two today?
**[16:16] Albert**
Yes.
**[16:18] Clerk**
Right this way, please.
**[16:36] Sei**
Excuse me. I heard that you have
exotic foreign tea here.
**[16:41] Clerk**
Yes. Would you both like to order some?
**[16:46] Sei**
Yes, please.
**[16:48] Clerk**
Coming right up.
**[16:56] Albert**
Sei?
**[16:57] Sei**
Oh, it's nothing.
**[17:11] Clerk**
Thank you for waiting.
**[17:17] Clerk**
This is our most recommended
beverage, coffee.
**[17:22] Sei**
Coffee?!
**[17:26] Clerk**
Is anything the matter?
**[17:27] Sei**
Oh, no! I'm sorry!
**[17:29] Sei**
It's nothing. I'm fine.
**[17:36] Clerk**
Please take your time.
**[17:39] Albert**
Is something bothering you?
**[17:41] Sei**
I'm sorry. I was just surprised
to see a drink I recognize.
**[17:45] Albert**
From your homeland?
**[17:47] Sei**
Yes.
**[17:59] Albert**
It has a stronger flavor than tea.
**[18:02] Sei**
I agree. It would be
delicious with milk, too!
**[18:06] Albert**
Haven't you had this drink before, Sei?
**[18:09] Sei**
I have, but this version tastes different
from what I drank in Japan... back home.
**[18:15] Sei**
I think it has to do with
the way it's been brewed.
**[18:20] Sei**
Coffee can taste different depending on how
the beans are roasted and how it's percolated.
**[18:26] Albert**
Did you drink this a lot in Japan?
**[18:29] Sei**
Yes. There's a component in coffee
that can chase away sleepiness.
**[18:35] Sei**
I had a habit of drinking it daily
after meals.
**[18:40] Albert**
I see.
**[18:41] Sei**
I used to brew my own coffee as well.
**[18:43] Albert**
Yourself?
**[18:44] Sei**
Yes. I think I'd be able to do it with
the right tools here, too.
**[18:50] Sei**
* But what could I use*
* to brew coffee over here?*
**[18:55] Sei**
* I remember seeing a drama where they*
* used beakers and flasks to make it...*
**[19:01] Sei**
* First, I should see*
* if this shop sells the beans.*
**[19:08] Sei**
I-I'm sorry! I couldn't help myself...
**[19:10] Albert**
Did you have an idea?
**[19:12] Sei**
Huh?
**[19:14] Albert**
I'm looking forward to it.
**[19:32] Sei**
Director, are you drinking more?
**[19:35] Johan**
Don't be like that.
**[19:37] Johan**
I'm paying for the beans myself.
**[19:40] Sei**
I know. That's not what I'm getting at.
**[19:44] Sei**
It's not healthy to drink too much.
**[19:46] Sei**
Caffeine poisoning was a very real thing
back in Japan.
**[19:50] Sei**
Please don't overdo it.
**[19:51] Johan**
I got it, I got it. I'll be careful.
**[19:54] Johan**
There's no way I could really drink enough
to poison myself, right?
**[19:57] Sei**
Well, that's true.
**[19:59] Jude**
Oh, there you are!
**[20:11] Jude**
I can't believe the café you visited
on a random suggestion
**[20:14] Jude**
had a drink that existed
in your previous world.
**[20:16] Jude**
What a coincidence!
**[20:17] Sei**
I know. I was really surprised.
**[20:20] Johan**
Didn't you say that there are
other familiar things here too, Sei?
**[20:26] Sei**
That's right.
**[20:27] Jude**
Then there might be more here
from your world than we realize.
**[20:32] Sei**
I sure hope so.
**[20:34] Sei**
*What I really want right now is rice.*
**[20:37] Johan**
What other kinds of things
do you think we might have?
**[20:40] Sei**
Well...
**[20:42] Sei**
I'm not sure, but I want to
search for rice in this world.
**[20:46] Jude**
Ryce?
**[20:48] Sei**
What about the paddy plant?
**[20:49] Jude**
Pahdi plant?
**[20:50] Sei**
The whole plant is called a paddy.
**[20:52] Sei**
The seed it produces is called rice.
They refer to the same plant.
**[20:58] Sei**
In Japan, the country where I lived,
it was the most consumed staple crop.
**[21:04] Johan**
I've never heard of it.
**[21:06] Sei**
I see...
**[21:08] Johan**
Maybe you should ask Franz about it.
**[21:11] Sei**
Franz, you say?
**[21:13] Johan**
He's traveled all over the world for work.
**[21:18] Johan**
He might know something about it.
**[21:20] Jude**
Other than that...
**[21:21] Jude**
Morgenhaffen is probably your best bet.
**[21:23] Sei**
Morgenhaffen?
**[21:25] Johan**
It's a large port city in the east.
**[21:28] Jude**
It's the trade destination of Salutania.
**[21:34] Johan**
There's a good chance you
can find products there
**[21:37] Johan**
that aren't normally
sold in the royal capital.
**[21:40] Jude**
Absolutely.
**[21:43] Sei**
*I've long given up on rice since coming here.*
**[21:46] Sei**
*But I'd love to have some again...*
**[21:51] Johan**
Want to go?
**[21:58] Johan**
Want to take a trip to Morgenhaffen?
**[22:04] Sei**
I do!

Sei? We're here.
**[00:15] Albert**
It's time to wake up. Open your eyes.
**[00:30] Albert**
Sei...
**[00:33] Jude**
Sei?
**[00:34] Jude**
Sei! We're here.
**[00:40] Jude**
What's wrong? Are you okay?
**[00:42] Sei**
Y-Yeah, I'm fine.
**[00:44] Sei**
Totally fine. Sorry.
**[00:53] Sei**
*What in the world am I dreaming about?*
**[01:10] Sei**
Oscar?
**[01:12] Oscar**
Welcome to Morgenhaffen!
**[02:51] Sei**
What are you doing here, Oscar?
**[02:54] Oscar**
I had some business in town.
**[02:57] Oscar**
I couldn't pass up coming to greet you
when I found out you were coming.
**[03:00] Sei**
You really didn't have to.
**[03:02] Oscar**
Of course I did.
**[03:04] Oscar**
Our business is nothing without you, Lady Sei.
**[03:17] Sei**
Wow, this is amazing!
**[03:24] Oscar**
A boat just arrived at the port.
**[03:28] Oscar**
You might find what you're looking for
at tomorrow's morning market, Lady Sei.
**[03:34] Oscar**
It'll be dark soon,
and the market starts bright and early.
**[03:37] Oscar**
We should head to the inn and rest up.
**[03:40] Sei**
Huh?
**[03:41] Oscar**
I'm staying at the same inn you'll be using.
**[03:47] Oscar**
Now then, let's go.

**[04:03] Jude**
Sei! Are you ready?
**[04:05] Jude**
Everyone's waiting.
**[04:06] Sei**
Yes! I'm coming!
**[04:18] Sei**
D-Do I look strange?
**[04:22] Jude**
Not at all.
**[04:25] Jude**
You look like a merchant's daughter
**[04:27] Jude**
sneaking out in disguise to go explore.
**[04:30] Jude**
I'm sure the director would be relieved.
**[04:32] Sei**
Ah, the director...
**[04:39] (Flashback) Sei**
I've been taking it easy lately.
**[04:41] (Flashback) Johan**
You aren't resting at all, are you?
**[04:44] (Flashback) Johan**
You even work on your hobby
research on your days off.
**[04:48] (Flashback) Sei**
Is that how you see it?
**[04:50] (Flashback) Johan**
I certainly do.
**[04:51] (Flashback) Johan**
So you're going to Morgenhaffen.
Use this trip to relax.
**[04:56] (Flashback) Johan**
Oh, and take this with you.
**[05:02] (Flashback) Sei**
What's this?
**[05:04] (Flashback) Johan**
You're going incognito.
You'll wear a disguise.
**[05:07] (Flashback) Johan**
Don't forget you're the Saint.
**[05:08] (Flashback) Sei**
What?
**[05:09] (Flashback) Johan**
I'll have the Third Order
send guards with you,
**[05:12] (Flashback) Johan**
but it won't hurt to play it safe.
**[05:15] (Flashback) Albert**
I'm sorry.
**[05:17] (Flashback) Albert**
I wanted to come and protect you myself...
**[05:20] (Flashback) Johan**
Yeah, there's no way *you* can go incognito.
**[05:22] (Flashback) Albert**
Even so, I...
**[05:25] (Flashback) Johan**
No. Absolutely no way.
**[05:27] Albert**
But...
**[05:28] Johan**
It's impossible. You stand out way too much.
**[05:31] Albert**
I could put on a disguise like Sei!
**[05:34] Johan**
Nope. Not happening.
**[05:34] (Flashback) Jude**
I can't wait to see Morgenhaffen!
**[05:36] (Flashback) Sei**
Oh? You're going too?
**[05:38] (Flashback) Jude**
Yeah. I'm interested in
the wares of foreign countries.
**[05:42] (Flashback) Sei**
I'd expect no less from a merchant's son.
**[05:44] (Flashback) Jude**
Fair enough.
**[05:46] (Flashback) Jude**
Come to think of it, it'd be best if you act
like you're from a merchant family too.
**[05:51] (Flashback) Sei**
I see...
**[05:57] (Flashback) Sei**
What do you think?
**[05:58] (Flashback) Sei**
Do I look like a merchant's daughter?
**[06:02] (Flashback) Johan**
Let's go with that. What do you think?
**[06:05] (Flashback) Albert**
It's lovely.
**[06:07] (Flashback) Albert**
While you have a different air about you,
you still look beautiful.
**[06:13] (Flashback) Sei**
Thank you very much...
**[06:16] (Flashback) Albert**
Even in disguise, you're striking.
Be careful.
**[06:20] (Flashback) Sei**
N-No, that's not true...
**[06:24] (Flashback) Albert**
I'm sure I'd be able to find you immediately,
no matter what disguise you might wear.
**[06:37] Sei**
*That smile does a number on my poor heart...*
**[06:59] Jude**
Hey, Sei!
**[07:01] Jude**
Don't wander off like that.
**[07:04] Sei**
Sorry, sorry.
**[07:05] Sei**
There's so much here, I can't help myself.
**[07:08] Jude**
You can't help yourself? Jeez, come on...
**[07:22] Merchant A**
Has something happened?
**[07:23] Merchant B**
There was an accident at the dock.
**[07:26] Merchant C**
Some cargo toppled over
and crushed someone beneath it.
**[07:29] Merchant D**
That's terrible...
**[07:31] Merchant B**
Let's head over there!
**[07:35] Jude**
What was that about?
**[07:36] Sei**
Someone's been injured?
**[07:40] Jude**
H-Hey, Sei!
**[07:53] Ceyran**
Anyone!
**[07:54] Ceyran**
Is there anyone here
who can cast healing magic?!
**[07:58] Ceyran**
The potions we have on hand
aren't strong enough to save him!
**[08:09] Ceyran**
Do any of you know someone
who can cast healing magic?!
**[08:13] Sailor A**
No one can heal an injury that grave...
**[08:15] Sailor B**
How unfortunate...
**[08:16] Sailor C**
Even if someone *could* heal that,
they wouldn't be here.
**[08:19] Sailor D**
Only the royal palace might...
**[08:30] Jude**
Sei, I know what you're thinking, but...
**[08:35] Wolff**
I agree with Jude.
**[08:37] Sei**
Wolff...
**[08:39] Wolff**
It'd be dangerous to cause a scene.
**[08:41] Wolff**
As your bodyguard,
I strongly suggest not intervening.
**[08:45] Sei**
Yes, you're right...
**[08:48] Wolff**
I'm sorry.
**[09:11] Sei**
Um!
**[09:12] Jude/Wolff**
Huh?!
**[09:12] Sei**
Excuse me!
**[09:15] Sei**
This might sound like a silly question,
but did you try mid-grade potions on him?
**[09:19] Ceyran**
Y-Yes, we did.
**[09:31] Ceyran**
What's this?
**[09:32] Sei**
Something I carry with me
for emergencies. Please take it.
**[09:36] Ceyran**
But he's already beyond potions...
**[09:47] Sei**
I hope it'll be of some use to you.
**[09:56] Ceyran**
Thank you.
**[10:08] Jude**
Sei...
**[10:09] Sei**
I didn't use any magic.
**[10:12] Sei**
So just let me have this.
**[10:25] Sei**
* Since I couldn't cast magic,*
* that was the least I could do...*
**[10:35] Jude**
That's not the problem.
**[10:38] Jude**
You made that potion, didn't you?
**[10:40] Jude**
It'll be strong enough to raise suspicion.
**[10:45] Sei**
If anyone asks, I'll just say
it was a gift from someone.
**[10:49] Sei**
That'll work, right?
**[10:51] Jude**
Really?
**[11:05] Oscar**
Hello.
**[11:07] Oscar**
Did you find what you were looking for?
**[11:09] Sei**
No, I got too preoccupied
with something else...
**[11:12] Sei**
I'll go out again tomorrow.
**[11:16] Oscar**
What happened?
**[11:17] Jude**
So, actually...
**[11:19] Sailor**
Captain!
**[11:25] Ceyran**
I finally found you!
**[11:31] Oscar**
Do you have some business with the lady?
**[11:34] Ceyran**
Pardon me. My name is Ceyran.
**[11:36] Ceyran**
I'm the captain of a trade ship
from the Empire of Zaidera.
**[11:40] Oscar**
Do you know this man?
**[11:42] Sei**
Well, you see, some things happened...
**[11:45] Jude**
Yeah, um, to tell you the truth, uh...
**[11:53] Ceyran**
My crewman is still alive thanks to you.
**[11:55] Ceyran**
I wanted to express my gratitude. Thank you.
**[11:59] Sei**
I'm glad it proved useful.
**[12:01] Ceyran**
Please allow me to pay for that potion.
**[12:05] Sei**
Erm, I received it as a gift,
so I can't say how much it cost...
**[12:10] Ceyran**
It had such a miraculous effect.
I can't accept it for free.
**[12:14] Sei**
You don't need to worry about that.
**[12:16] Ceyran**
My conscience won't allow it.
**[12:18] Sei**
No, really, think nothing of it!
**[12:20] Ceyran**
But I can't do that...
**[12:22] Sei**
It's seriously okay!
**[12:28] Oscar**
Well, what about this?
**[12:31] Oscar**
Why not show her your wares
and discount anything
**[12:34] Oscar**
she wishes to purchase?
**[12:40] Ceyran**
Would that really be enough?
**[12:43] Sei**
Of course!
**[12:53] Sei**
Um, what are Zaidera's specialty goods?
**[12:57] Ceyran**
Well, we didn't bring much
because they're not very popular here, but...
**[13:05] Sei**
Sansho pepper!
**[13:06] Sei**
Chili peppers!
**[13:08] Sei**
Star anise!
**[13:09] Ceyran**
Wow. You know your stuff, young lady.
**[13:13] Ceyran**
We don't sell much of this
outside of the country.
**[13:20] Ceyran**
In that case, do you recognize this?
**[13:31] Sei**
Miso?
**[13:32] Sei**
Is this miso?!
**[13:34] Ceyran**
That's amazing. You even know what that is...
**[13:36] Sei**
What else? What else do you have?!
**[13:39] Ceyran**
W-Well, we have other things in the back...
**[14:07] Sei**
Could it be...
Could this be what I think it is?!
**[14:12] Sei**
Rice!
**[14:52] Yuri**
What's that?
**[14:56] Aira**
O-Oh, this was a gift from Sei...
**[14:59] Aira**
It's a seasoning from our homeland.
**[15:04] Yuri**
Something from Lady Sei's homeland?
**[15:06] Aira**
She's going to treat me to food
made with these ingredients!
**[15:09] Aira**
She asked me to invite both of you as well.
**[15:14] Erhart**
I don't mind going.
**[15:17] Erhart**
However, you...
**[15:22] Yuri**
What are you doing?
**[15:24] Yuri**
Let's get going already.
**[15:38] Johan**
Are you finally going to make it?
**[15:40] Sei**
I am!
**[15:48] Sei**
It's still going to be a while yet.
**[15:50] Johan**
Is that so?
**[15:51] Sei**
Yup.
**[15:52] Sei**
Rice needs to soak after being washed.
**[15:56] Sei**
I'll be making a lot of dishes to go with it.
**[16:03] Sei**
So I'll call you when it's ready.
**[16:06] Johan**
I see...
**[16:32] Johan**
You're here!
**[16:36] Johan**
Oh, it's just you.
**[16:39] Johan**
So, what do you need?
**[16:40] Albert**
The bodyguards that went
to Morgenhaffen finished their reports.
**[16:45] Albert**
I came to deliver them.
**[16:47] Johan**
Oh?
**[16:50] Johan**
Reports...
**[16:52] Johan**
Reports, huh?
**[16:56] Albert**
Well, they're not the only reason I came...
**[17:08] Johan**
I see. Sei sent you an invitation.
**[17:12] Albert**
Yes. It was a very modest one.
**[17:17] Johan**
I can imagine.
**[17:19] Johan**
Though the two of you
can't be so modest forever.
**[17:23] Johan**
She's made quite a name for herself by
going out on all those subjugation missions.
**[17:27] Johan**
Care to guess what will come next?
**[17:30] Albert**
What comes next, huh...?
**[17:39] Johan**
Well, I know that Sei hasn't even
thought about getting engaged.
**[17:43] Johan**
All she thinks about is work.
**[17:45] Albert**
You're right.
**[17:47] Albert**
I'm sure she'd panic or scowl just like us
if she saw a mountain of proposals.
**[17:54] Johan**
Wouldn't she be more likely to panic?
**[17:57] Albert**
You're not wrong.
**[18:00] Johan**
What are you going to do?
**[18:05] Johan**
You may be the son of a margrave,
**[18:06] Johan**
but you'll lose her if you drag your feet.
**[18:14] Albert**
I know that.
**[18:18] Johan**
If you won't make a move,
maybe I should instead.
**[18:24] Johan**
I'd rather step forward myself than let some
good-for-nothings become potential suitors.
**[18:41] Johan**
Yes? Come in.
**[18:44] Sei**
The Japanese food is ready!
**[19:00] Albert**
This is amazing...
**[19:09] Sei**
No sneaking bites!
**[19:12] Sei**
Goodness!
**[19:16] Aira**
Sei!
**[19:17] Sei**
Aira! Thanks for coming.
**[19:21] Aira**
No, thank *you*. I'm so happy you invited me.
**[19:30] Aira**
I never thought I'd get
Japanese food in this world...
**[19:36] Aira**
E-Er, pardon me.
**[19:38] Sei**
I know exactly how you feel.
**[19:44] Sei**
Rice is our food for the soul!
**[19:47] Aira**
Sei...
**[19:49] Yuri**
Huh.
**[19:51] Yuri**
So this is food from your homeland, is it?
**[19:57] Yuri**
I've never seen anything like it.
**[20:00] Yuri**
Well? What's it called?
**[20:02] Yuri**
I wonder what kind of effects it has...
**[20:06] Yuri**
Pretty please, tell me everything in detail!
**[20:14] Erhart**
Albert.
**[20:16] Albert**
Brother! You came as well.
**[20:18] Erhart**
Yes. Sei invited me.
**[20:28] Erhart**
Also...
**[20:30] Erhart**
I thought someone ought to come
and keep *that* under control.
**[20:34] Yuri**
Well? Well?!
**[20:57] (Flashback) Johan**
You'll lose her if you drag your feet.
**[21:01] Albert**
I know.
**[21:06] Sei**
Commander Hawke!
**[21:29] Ceyran**
Finally, I can report something
to His Imperial Majesty.
**[21:34] Ceyran**
Come in.
**[21:36] Sailor**
Excuse me.
**[21:40] Ceyran**
Sorry for calling you.
**[21:41] Sailor**
Not at all.
**[21:44] Ceyran**
Please send this letter to His Imperial
Majesty of Zaidera as quickly as possible.
**[21:49] Sailor**
I understand.
**[21:51] Sailor**
Are you not returning with us, Captain?
**[21:54] Ceyran**
I will stay in this land for some time.
**[21:57] Ceyran**
I must find the alchemist
who created this potion.

**[00:06] Sei**
Now, drink to your heart's content!
**[00:09] Jude**
Sei!
**[00:11] Jude**
The director is calling for you!
Someone from the royal palace is here!
**[00:15] Sei**
The royal palace?
**[00:20] Sei**
My debut ceremony?
**[00:23] Civil Servant**
Yes. We would formally like
to introduce our Holy Saint
**[00:26] Civil Servant**
to the nobility and other
prominent figures of our kingdom.
**[00:30] Sei**
*Really? After all this time?*
**[00:32] Johan**
Are you thinking, "After all this time?"
**[00:35] Sei**
*Is he a mind reader?*
**[00:38] Johan**
We unexpectedly summoned
two people with the ritual.
**[00:41] Johan**
The royal palace has also been busy
dealing with the monster threat all along.
**[00:45] Civil Servant**
Yes, indeed.
**[00:46] Johan**
But now that threat
has died back significantly.
**[00:51] Johan**
They finally have a chance
to make things official.
**[00:53] Civil Servant**
Yes, indeed.
**[00:55] Sei**
I-I mean, didn't we basically
already do this?
**[01:02] Civil Servant**
That was merely a public apology.
**[01:04] Civil Servant**
His Majesty now wishes to properly
introduce you to the public.
**[01:10] Sei**
*So it's a royal request, is it?*
**[01:13] Sei**
I understand.
**[01:15] Johan**
Let's see. The ceremony is planned for...
**[01:18] Johan**
Isn't this date...
**[01:20] Civil Servant**
It will be the same day
as the ball held by the royal family.
**[01:25] Sei**
There's a ball?
**[01:26] Johan**
I see.
**[01:28] Johan**
It's the last ball of the season.
**[01:30] Johan**
This will ensure that everyone
of any importance will be there.
**[01:35] Civil Servant**
Yes. The ceremony will be that day,
**[01:38] Civil Servant**
and the ball will be held in the evening.
**[01:42] Albert**
*I would like to join you as your escort.*
**[01:46] Sei**
A ball, huh?
**[01:48] Sei**
Sounds like a big deal.
**[01:50] Johan**
Why are you talking like it
has nothing to do with you?
**[01:53] Johan**
You'll be attending both.
**[01:59] Sei**
I have to go to the ball too?!
**[03:40] Johan**
So, what's up?
**[03:43] Sei**
Come again?
**[03:44] Johan**
You were in quite a panic.
**[03:46] Johan**
Do you hate balls that much?
**[03:48] Sei**
Oh, I don't hate them.
**[03:51] Sei**
I just don't like being
the center of attention...
**[03:56] Sei**
I hope I can be a wallflower.
**[03:59] Sei**
Actually, I'd rather just be the wall.
**[04:04] Johan**
Yeah, that's not happening.
**[04:06] Sei**
You don't think so?
**[04:08] Johan**
Not a chance. You're the Holy Saint.
**[04:11] Sei**
* The Holy Saint, a wall?*
* Yeah, not happening.*
**[04:16] Johan**
I received an invitation as well.
**[04:19] Johan**
So don't worry. I'll try to stay
with you as much as possible.
**[04:23] Sei**
Thank you very much.
**[04:24] Johan**
Of course.
**[04:26] Johan**
Although Al will be there, too.
**[04:29] Johan**
He'll probably make a good shield.
**[04:33] Sei**
O-Oh, Commander Hawke...
**[04:36] Sei**
You think he'll attend?
**[04:40] Johan**
He's the Commander of the Third Order.
**[04:43] Johan**
I don't doubt he was invited.
**[04:45] Sei**
You're right.
**[04:47] Johan**
Well, knowing him, he'll probably
ask to be your escort to the ball.
**[04:55] Johan**
What?
**[04:57] Sei**
O-Oh, I'm just not so sure...
**[04:59] Sei**
Who knows if he will?
**[05:02] Johan**
Is that so?
**[05:03] Jude**
Director!
**[05:05] Jude**
Do you have a minute?
**[05:07] Johan**
Yeah, I'm coming.
**[05:14] Sei**
*He totally will!*
**[05:16] Sei**
*He absolutely said he would before!*
**[05:22] Sei**
*But maybe he was just being polite.*
**[05:27] Sei**
*He might not even remember he said it...*
***SIGN*** "The Ceremony"
**[05:34] Albert**
Would you grant me the honor
of escorting you to the ball?
**[05:41] Albert**
I heard that you'll be attending
after your debut ceremony.
**[05:45] Albert**
What do you say?
**[05:46] Sei**
Oh, yes.
**[05:47] Sei**
Uh, um, gladly.
**[05:52] Albert**
That's great. Thank goodness.
**[05:56] Albert**
Where shall I come to pick you up?
**[05:59] Sei**
Oh, um, I'll be in the royal
palace all day that day...
**[06:04] Albert**
Understood. I'll come fetch you
from the reception hall.
**[06:07] Sei**
O-Okay.
**[06:09] Sei**
Um, I said I'd be at the palace all day,
**[06:11] Sei**
but I'll actually be staying there
the night before, too.
**[06:15] Sei**
The maids are all fired up
**[06:17] Sei**
since I'll be wearing something different
for the ceremony and the ball.
**[06:21] Albert**
I see.
**[06:22] Sei**
I feel bad since all I'll be doing
is sitting around.
**[06:26] Sei**
I told them to do as they please, but...
**[06:30] Sei**
Huh?
**[06:34] Albert**
I look forward to seeing you dressed up
for a special occasion.
**[06:48] Marie**
Good morning, Lady Sei.
**[06:52] Sei**
Good morning...
**[06:55] Marie**
How do you find the pillows
of the royal palace?
**[06:57] Sei**
Oh, of course!
**[07:00] Sei**
I slept quite well.
**[07:05] Sei**
*Whoa, my face feels so supple.*
**[07:08] Marie**
Is something the matter?
**[07:10] Sei**
Not at all. I'm just amazed
how healthy my skin has gotten.
**[07:14] Marie**
Well, of course.
**[07:16] Marie**
We've been using the cosmetics
you created, Lady Sei.
**[07:19] Sei**
No, I think it's all thanks
to your massages, Marie.
**[07:23] Marie**
You're too kind.
**[07:25] Marie**
Now, then...
**[07:34] Marie**
Girls, it's time to dress Lady Sei.
**[07:38] Sei**
Huh?
**[07:44] Sei**
*Who the heck is this?*
**[07:46] Marie**
My, it looks splendid on you!
**[07:48] Marie**
Everyone will recognize you
as the Holy Saint in an instant.
**[07:51] Maids**
Yes! Yes!
**[07:53] Sei**
Um, I feel like this is a little more...
no, *way* more lavish than last time.
**[07:58] Marie**
We strive to hone our skills
further each day, Lady Sei.
**[08:04] Sei**
Th-Thank you very much...
**[08:07] Sei**
*I feel like this is all kinda wasted on me.*
**[08:10] Sei**
* No, thinking that way*
* is an insult to the maids' hard work.*
**[08:13] Sei**
*Gotta block out those thoughts. Yeah!*
**[08:18] Civil Servant**
Are you ready yet, my lady?
**[08:20] Marie**
Well then, have a pleasant time.
**[08:23] Sei**
I will.
**[08:27] Siegfried**
Thus, we performed
the Saint-summoning ritual
**[08:32] Siegfried**
passed down since ancient times.
**[08:35] Siegfried**
Through it, a Holy Saint
descended upon Salutania
**[08:38] Siegfried**
to dispel the dark miasma
threatening to engulf us.
**[08:43] Siegfried**
Today, I would formally like to introduce her.
**[08:46] Siegfried**
Please welcome Holy Saint Sei Takanashi
with a grand round of applause!
**[09:06] Siegfried**
Lady Takanashi has traveled
the land with our forces
**[09:10] Siegfried**
and achieved incredible feats.
**[09:13] Siegfried**
Everyone here is already aware
**[09:16] Siegfried**
of the dwindling number of monsters
appearing from miasma swamps.
**[09:21] Siegfried**
People of Salutania,
peace is no longer a distant dream!
**[09:27] Siegfried**
All thanks to our Holy Saint!
**[09:35] Siegfried**
Good work.
**[09:36] Siegfried**
I'm sure you're tired.
**[09:37] Siegfried**
Rest up until the ball.
**[09:40] Siegfried**
I'll see you tonight.
**[09:49] Sei**
That's the first hurdle cleared.
**[09:55] Sei**
I've returned.
**[09:57] Marie**
Welcome back.
**[09:59] Marie**
You did splendidly.
**[10:01] Marie**
Your friends are waiting for you.
**[10:10] Sei**
Liz!
**[10:11] Liz**
I'm sorry to impose
when you must be exhausted.
**[10:14] Liz**
I wished to see your attire up close
and couldn't help myself.
**[10:19] Sei**
Don't fret.
**[10:20] Sei**
I don't mind at all. Think nothing of it.
**[10:27] Sei**
Who is this?
**[10:29] Rayne**
I apologize for failing to introduce myself.
**[10:33] Rayne**
My name is Rayne Salutania.
**[10:37] Rayne**
It is an honor to meet
the Holy Saint in person.
**[10:42] Liz**
This is the second prince of our kingdom.
**[10:47] Sei**
*He's that guy's little brother?!*
**[10:50] Sei**
Th-The honor is all mine.
**[10:52] Sei**
Um, it's nice to meet you.
I'm Sei Takanashi.
**[10:56] Liz**
You were just introduced moments ago.
**[10:58] Liz**
Your Highness, why not try being
a tad less formal?
**[11:03] Liz**
Sei doesn't relish rigid decorum.
**[11:07] Rayne**
Is that so?
**[11:09] Rayne**
I shall keep it in mind.
**[11:16] Rayne**
Truth be told,
I have wished to meet you ever since
**[11:19] Rayne**
first hearing about you from Lady Ashley.
**[11:22] Rayne**
Even if only once.
**[11:25] Rayne**
Lady Takanashi, allow me to apologize
to you for my brother's rudeness.
**[11:31] Sei**
That's quite all right! His Majesty
issued me a formal apology for as much.
**[11:35] Sei**
So do not worry, Your Highness.
**[11:38] Sei**
* Especially since I've already*
* completely forgotten about it!*
**[11:42] Rayne**
I'm sincerely grateful for your kind words.
**[11:49] Liz**
Now that I've introduced you
to His Highness, it's my turn.
**[11:55] Sei**
What do you mean?
**[11:57] Liz**
Well, I'm the one
who wanted to speak with you,
**[12:01] Liz**
but he forced me to bring him along.
**[12:07] Sei**
I was rather surprised
to see you at the ceremony.
**[12:09] Sei**
I didn't think you would attend, Liz.
**[12:11] Liz**
I'm afraid the two of us cannot
attend the evening ball.
**[12:15] Liz**
This was our only chance
to see you all dressed up.
**[12:21] Liz**
I wouldn't miss it!
**[12:22] Sei**
*She wanted to see me dressed up?*
**[12:26] Sei**
But I always dress up to have tea with you...
**[12:29] Liz**
That's true,
**[12:32] Liz**
but I so rarely get to see you adorned
in such splendid robes.
**[12:37] Liz**
I'm glad I came today.
**[12:40] Rayne**
As am I.
**[12:44] Rayne**
What a wonderful lady.
I'm glad I made you bring me along.
**[12:46] Sei**
*I wasn't at all looking forward to it*
**[12:48] Liz**
Of course. I am delighted
to call Sei my friend.
**[12:50] Sei**
* when I was first invited*
* to this debut ceremony...*
**[12:53] Rayne**
Why do you look so proud, Liz?
**[12:56] Sei**
*Honestly, I wanted to refuse.*
**[12:56] Liz**
They say birds of a feather flock together.
**[12:59] Liz**
Since Sei is so wonderful,
I'm sure I must be as well.
**[13:00] Sei**
* But if doing things like this*
* makes Liz and the others happy,*
**[13:05] Sei**
*then I'm glad I went through with it.*
**[13:25] Sei**
*What a lovely dress...*
**[13:28] Sei**
* It's so beautiful, I'm not sure*
* if I'm fit to wear it.*
**[13:34] Civil Servant**
Excuse me.
**[13:35] Sei**
C-Come in!
**[13:53] Sei**
Commander Hawke!
**[13:55] Sei**
Thank you for escorting me this evening.
**[13:58] Albert**
Of course...
**[14:03] Sei**
Commander Hawke?
**[14:04] Albert**
Oh, I'm sorry.
**[14:08] Albert**
You're just so beautiful...
**[14:09] Sei**
What?
**[14:11] Albert**
I couldn't help being mesmerized by you.
**[14:16] Sei**
Oh, don't say that.
**[14:17] Sei**
Um, you're the one who...
**[14:20] Albert**
Yes?
**[14:22] Sei**
Oh, nothing! Don't mind me!
**[14:25] Sei**
*Calm down!*
**[14:26] Sei**
*What was I just about to say?!*
**[14:34] Sei**
*Wh-What should I do?*
**[14:36] Sei**
*Is there any way to shake this mood?*
**[14:40] Civil Servant**
Pardon me.
**[14:43] Civil Servant**
It's almost time. Please make haste.
**[14:49] Sei**
*No!*
**[14:55] Civil Servant**
From House Grellman,
Lord Olaf escorting Lady Iris.
**[15:06] Albert**
Are you nervous?
**[15:11] Sei**
Very nervous.
**[15:12] Sei**
I've thoroughly studied royal etiquette,
**[15:15] Sei**
but I'm worried about putting it to practice.
**[15:28] Civil Servant**
From House Hawke,
**[15:29] Civil Servant**
Lord Albert Hawke
escorting Lady Sei Takanashi.
**[15:34] Albert**
Let's go.
**[15:36] Sei**
Yes.
**[16:01] Sei**
*Smile. Smile.*
**[16:03] Sei**
*Gracefully. Elegantly.*
**[16:07] Sei**
* It's okay. I just need to do it*
* exactly how I learned.*
**[16:12] Albert**
Sei.
**[16:13] Sei**
Yes?
**[16:19] Albert**
Look at me.
**[16:26] Sei**
I'm sorry. Thank you very much.
**[16:30] Sei**
* I can't handle such a fierce move*
* when my hands are already full!*
**[16:36] Albert**
No, I should be the one to apologize.
**[16:40] Albert**
You looked so nervous,
I couldn't help myself.
**[16:45] Albert**
I'm sorry.
**[16:47] Sei**
* What's with that dazzling smile*
* even when he's apologizing?*
**[17:05] Albert**
Sei, it was a pleasure to dance
with you tonight. Thank you.
**[17:11] Sei**
The pleasure was mine. Thank you very much.
**[17:23] Johan**
Hey. Good job, you two.
**[17:26] Albert**
Thank you.
**[17:29] Johan**
Looks like all that practice
was worth it, Sei. You danced very well.
**[17:34] Sei**
*The director?!*
**[17:36] Sei**
*I didn't recognize him for a second...*
**[17:39] Albert**
Why not have a dance yourself, Johan?
**[17:41] Johan**
Don't ask the impossible.
**[17:43] Johan**
How long do you think it's been
since I last danced?
**[17:45] Albert**
But if you don't dance...
**[17:52] Johan**
Our Holy Saint is quite popular.
**[17:56] Johan**
Everyone's waiting for their chance to ask.
**[17:59] Johan**
Well, I came because I expected as much.
**[18:03] Johan**
I'll stall for time.
You go and call for reinforcements.
**[18:08] Albert**
Right.
**[18:10] Johan**
Now, then...
**[18:16] Johan**
May I have this dance?
**[18:20] Sei**
Director?
**[18:23] Johan**
Didn't you learn that it's poor form
to dance with the same partner twice?
**[18:28] Johan**
I'm sorry I'm not Al. Bear with it.
**[18:30] Sei**
D-Don't put words in my mouth!
**[18:32] Johan**
Wouldn't you rather dance with me
than some random man?
**[19:02] Johan**
I see reinforcements have arrived.
**[19:05] Sei**
Huh?
**[19:10] Yuri**
Good evening, Lady Sei.
**[19:13] Sei**
Marquis Drewes!
**[19:14] Yuri**
I rushed over when I heard this was
the perfect chance to dance with you.
**[19:21] Sei**
*He's lying.*
**[19:22] Sei**
*This guy is only interested in magic.*
**[19:25] Sei**
*He's definitely lying.*
**[19:43] Liz**
I heard, Sei,
**[19:45] Liz**
that you were the object
of every lady's envy at the ball.
**[19:51] Aira**
Oh, I heard that as well.
**[19:53] Aira**
The Grand Magus and Magus are both
famous for avoiding such events.
**[20:01] Liz**
My! It must have been quite a sight.
**[20:05] Sei**
Why do you seem so tickled, Liz?
**[20:09] Sei**
Still, I didn't realize that different
men lead in different ways.
**[20:14] Sei**
I'd really only danced with my
teacher before, so I hadn't realized.
**[20:18] Liz**
Whose lead did you enjoy the most?
**[20:26] Sei**
Well...
**[20:34] Sei**
I'm not sure.
**[22:07] Sei**
It's so peaceful.
**[22:10] Johan**
What's wrong?
**[22:11] Sei**
Nothing. I was just thinking that nothing's
changed after my debut ceremony.
**[22:17] Johan**
Oh, well, I'm sure that the royal palace
is taking care of the issue.
**[22:23] Sei**
What issue?
**[22:25] Johan**
All the men who wanted to get
close to you during the ball.
**[22:33] Johan**
We were able to guard you that night,
but I doubt many of them have given up.
**[22:39] Johan**
I'll bet you're getting all sorts of
invitations to evening events and tea parties.
**[22:44] Sei**
I haven't received a single one.
**[22:47] Johan**
That's what I meant.
I'm sure the royal palace
**[22:50] Johan**
is politely declining them for you.
**[22:53] Johan**
The Holy Saint is an important figure
who accompanies our forces.
**[22:59] Johan**
The royal palace knows that
better than anyone.
**[23:02] Sei**
But I haven't been on any expeditions lately.
**[23:04] Sei**
I'm glad to hear that new miasma
swamps aren't cropping up.
**[23:09] Johan**
Then it sounds like your days
will be full of research again.
**[23:13] Sei**
Probably so.
**[23:17] Johan**
Come in.
**[23:22] Senior Official**
Lady Sei, please come to the royal palace.
**[23:27] Senior Official**
His Majesty has something important
to discuss with you.

**[00:08] Servant A**
Your Highness, standing out in the sea breeze
too long may affect your health.
**[00:14] Ten'yuu**
Yes, I'll go inside.
**[00:20] Servant A**
In truth, I am still against your decision
to visit this place personally.
**[00:23] Ten'yuu**
Enough.
**[02:05] Siegfried**
Thank you for attending both the
debut ceremony and the evening ball.
**[02:11] Sei**
Oh, not at all.
**[02:12] Sei**
Thank you kindly for inviting me.
**[02:16] Siegfried**
Has anyone been pestering you
since then, Lady Sei?
**[02:21] Sei**
No. At least, not as of yet.
**[02:23] Siegfried**
Glad to hear it.
**[02:24] Siegfried**
I will take care of anyone
who may cause you problems.
**[02:28] Sei**
Thank you.
**[02:35] Siegfried**
There is yet another reason
I called you here today.
**[02:39] Siegfried**
We are preparing receive an exchange
student from abroad.
**[02:43] Dominic**
He is a prince of one of our trade partners.
**[02:45] Dominic**
This turn of events is most
unprecedented, you see.
**[02:49] Sei**
A prince, you say?
**[02:51] Siegfried**
We received the request rather suddenly.
**[02:54] Siegfried**
The prince wishes to attend
the royal academy
**[02:57] Siegfried**
while observing our
various research facilities.
**[03:00] Johan**
Is the Medicinal Flora Research
Institute on the list?
**[03:05] Siegfried**
That is precisely what I wished to discuss.
**[03:08] Johan**
You mean about Sei?
**[03:11] Siegfried**
Yes.
**[03:14] Johan**
Your powers are a national secret.
**[03:18] Siegfried**
We would like to keep your interactions
with the exchange student to a minimum
**[03:24] Siegfried**
in order to safeguard knowledge
of the Holy Saint's power.
**[03:27] Dominic**
We were hoping you would stay in the royal
palace while the exchange student is here.
**[03:35] Sei**
Does that mean I can't go
to the Institute during that time?
**[03:41] Johan**
That would be difficult.
**[03:43] Johan**
Sei needs to monitor the herbs
she's growing in her garden.
**[03:48] Johan**
And she's ill at ease when she's not working,
**[03:51] Johan**
though I honestly wish she'd
take a break sometime.
**[03:55] Sei**
You got me...
**[03:56] Johan**
Allow us to discuss this more thoroughly
after we return to the Institute.
**[04:01] Siegfried**
My apologies for the trouble.
**[04:03] Sei**
Oh, think nothing of it!
**[04:05] Sei**
By the way, what country
does this prince hail from?
**[04:09] Siegfried**
An empire called Zaidera.
**[04:13] Sei**
Zaidera?
***SIGN*** "The Imperial Prince"
**[04:28] Jude**
Hey, Sei.
**[04:30] Sei**
What?
**[04:32] Jude**
Wasn't that ship captain you met
in Morgenhaffen from Zaidera?
**[04:37] Sei**
Now that you mention it, yeah...
**[04:41] Jude**
Does that mean this is a result
of the potion you gave him?
**[04:47] Sei**
Please don't mention that.
**[04:49] Johan**
What about a potion?
**[04:56] Johan**
Your potions, hmm?
**[04:58] Johan**
I'm sure His Majesty suspects as much, too.
**[05:00] Sei**
He does?
**[05:02] Johan**
Didn't you have knights
bodyguard you on that trip?
**[05:05] Johan**
No matter how close they are to you,
**[05:08] Johan**
they should have reported everything.
**[05:10] Sei**
Of course.
**[05:13] Sei**
I didn't ask them to keep it a secret.
**[05:17] Sei**
It sounds like I really shouldn't be here
while the prince is visiting after all.
**[05:23] Johan**
Well, we don't actually know
he's after your potions,
**[05:27] Johan**
but all the better to avoid crossing
a potentially dangerous bridge.
**[05:30] Jude**
So you'll be accepting
the royal palace's request?
**[05:36] Johan**
We'll have Sei move to the royal palace
and commute to the Institute.
**[05:41] Johan**
When the prince visits here,
we'll have Sei take a day off.
**[05:44] Johan**
That'll be the best course of action.
**[05:47] Jude**
But I'll be so lonely.
**[05:49] Sei**
Me too!
**[05:50] Sei**
No, I'll be even more lonely...
**[05:53] Jude**
Huh?
**[05:53] Sei**
I'm cultivating some
very rare herbs right now.
**[05:58] Sei**
I wanted to record their
growth on a daily basis...
**[06:13] Liz**
Have you heard, Sei?
We're receiving an exchange student.
**[06:16] Sei**
Yes. I understand he plans to visit
the Institute as well.
**[06:20] Sei**
I believe I heard he'll be
attending the royal academy.
**[06:24] Liz**
Indeed, the student council is preparing
a formal reception for him.
**[06:29] Sei**
You have a student council here, too?
**[06:32] Liz**
Composed of highest-born noble students.
**[06:36] Liz**
Does this mean your homeland
also had student councils?
**[06:39] Sei**
Yeah, we did.
**[06:40] Liz**
I'm sure you achieved grand things
as a member of yours, didn't you?
**[06:47] Sei**
* Nope, not at all! I was the kind of generic*
* schoolkid you'd find hiding in the corner.*
**[06:51] Liz**
The current president is Prince Rayne.
**[06:54] Sei**
Oh, the second prince.
**[06:57] Liz**
As the vice president, I'm personally
overseeing the preparations.
**[07:01] Liz**
I calculated the budget
and organized the schedule...
**[07:06] Sei**
Sounds like you're as busy as we are.
**[07:08] Liz**
We're both working wonders, aren't we?
**[07:14] Liz**
I wonder what kind of person
the exchange student is.
**[07:17] Sei**
Surely he must be studious.
**[07:20] Sei**
He's going to all this trouble just to study.
**[07:23] Liz**
I certainly hope you're right.
**[07:25] Sei**
Are you doubtful?
**[07:27] Liz**
Well, I do wonder if it's possible he caused
a commotion in his country
**[07:33] Liz**
and he's fleeing abroad to hide for a time.
**[07:38] Liz**
Or perhaps he's a spy planning to uncover
the national secrets of Salutania
**[07:42] Liz**
to take back to the empire.
**[07:48] Liz**
I jest!
**[07:51] Sei**
Goodness!
**[07:52] Liz**
We actually don't have
much contact with Zaidera.
**[07:56] Liz**
I can't imagine they're very
interested in our national secrets.
**[07:59] Sei**
I'm sure you're right...
**[08:01] Liz**
That said, it'd be a different story
if you were involved.
**[08:05] Sei**
Huh?
**[08:06] Liz**
Huh?
**[08:33] Marie**
You look quite nervous, my lady.
**[08:36] Marie**
Does it displease you to join the reception
in the royal audience chamber?
**[08:40] Sei**
No, I've already accepted that much...
**[08:43] Marie**
Your status more than earns you
a place by His Majesty's side.
**[08:49] Sei**
I'm sure the people of Zaidera
are aware we have a Holy Saint.
**[08:54] Sei**
This is just another part of my duties.
**[08:58] Marie**
My, then what has you so bothered?
**[09:02] Marie**
You'll be able to hide behind this veil.
**[09:05] Sei**
Yes. I had Grand Magus Drewes enchant it
with magic that obscures the wearer.
**[09:11] Sei**
I'm confident the imperial prince
won't be able to see my face.
**[09:17] Marie**
It's amazing you'd even think
to request such a thing, Lady Sei.
**[09:22] Sei**
Oh, don't say that.
**[09:24] Sei**
This veil's going to make it hard
for me to see, too.
**[09:30] Sei**
I'm glad they prepared an escort
to take me to the audience chamber,
**[09:35] Sei**
but I'm still a little nervous.
**[09:37] Marie**
I see. So that's what it is.
**[09:42] Maid**
Commander Hawke of the
Third Order of Knights has arrived.
**[09:47] Marie**
Sounds like you can relax
since it's someone you know.
**[09:50] Sei**
Th-That's true, but I wasn't
mentally prepared to see him either!
**[10:04] Albert**
You look beautiful.
**[10:07] Sei**
Thank you very much.
**[10:09] Albert**
Please allow me the honor of escorting you.
**[10:12] Sei**
If you'd be so kind.
**[10:14] Sei**
* Check me out, not getting flustered*
* by the commander's compliments!*
**[10:26] Maid**
She's as beautiful as a bride!
**[10:31] Albert**
Does that make me the groom?
**[10:36] Albert**
Now, let us be off to our wedding, my bride.
**[11:02] Sei**
*He's already back to work mode. So unfair...*
**[11:10] Ceremonial Official**
Announcing the arrival
of Imperial Prince Ten'yuu!
**[11:23] Sei**
*That's Prince Ten'yuu?*
**[11:38] Sei**
*Was that just my imagination?*
**[11:43] Liz**
Prince Ten'yuu seems to be
a rather serious man after all.
**[11:48] Sei**
He's already attending classes
at the academy, isn't he?
**[11:51] Sei**
Does he match his first impression?
**[11:53] Liz**
He is very polite and gentlemanly.
He's already made many friends.
**[12:01] Sei**
He's older than you, isn't he?
**[12:04] Liz**
That's correct.
**[12:06] Liz**
He is Zaidera's eighteenth prince,
son of the emperor's seventh concubine.
**[12:12] Sei**
The eighteenth prince...?
**[12:14] Sei**
I don't know what that makes
the prince's political standing,
**[12:17] Sei**
but that's a lot of wives for one husband.
**[12:21] Liz**
Salutania believes in one wife
and one husband,
**[12:24] Liz**
so you've nothing to worry about.
**[12:29] Sei**
Wh-What are you saying?
**[12:30] Liz**
Goodness me. Who knows?
**[12:33] Sei**
Honestly!
**[12:35] Sei**
We have more important things at hand!
**[12:37] Liz**
My apologies.
**[12:45] Liz**
Prince Ten'yuu is knowledgeable
in a diversity of subjects,
**[12:48] Liz**
and I have seen him discussing many things
with other students after class.
**[12:53] Sei**
It sounds like he's most studious.
**[12:56] Liz**
Yes, and he seems
especially interested in plants.
**[13:00] Sei**
Plants? What kind of plants in particular?
**[13:05] Liz**
He spoke about quite a variety.
**[13:07] Liz**
Flowering plants, trees, fruits,
edible roots that can be used in medicine...
**[13:16] Sei**
Medicine? Which species did he
say could be used for that?
**[13:21] Liz**
I knew you would ask.
**[13:25] Liz**
This is a list of everything
I can remember that he mentioned.
**[13:31] Sei**
Splendid, Liz, you kindred spirit!
***SIGN*** Sage
***SIGN*** Angelica
***SIGN*** Marigold
***SIGN*** Cinnamon
***SIGN*** Tarragon
***SIGN*** Star Anise
***SIGN*** Nettle
**[13:39] Sei**
These are indeed species with medicinal uses,
**[13:42] Sei**
but there's no focus on any particular type.
**[13:45] Liz**
I came to the same conclusion myself.
**[13:48] Sei**
Well, that's only judging by our standards.
**[13:50] Sei**
I'm not sure how the people
in Zaidera use these plants.
**[13:54] Liz**
I see.
**[13:56] Liz**
It's also common practice for royalty
to gather information by hiding
**[14:02] Liz**
their true purpose in a sea of questions.
**[14:08] Liz**
Either way, you should be careful, Sei.
**[14:14] Liz**
I'm sure he will begin visiting
the research facilities soon.
**[14:17] Sei**
I'm sure you're right.
Thank you for all the information, Liz.
**[14:21] Sei**
You're always such a help.
**[14:22] Liz**
This much is nothing, my kindred spirit.
**[14:40] Sei**
It's been four days!
There, there! Were you all lonely?
**[14:44] Jade**
Sei, what are you doing?
**[14:52] Sei**
Er, that's right!
**[14:53] Sei**
How was Prince Ten'yuu's visit?
**[14:55] Jude**
He's impressively serious.
**[14:58] Sei**
You think so too, Jude?
**[15:02] Jude**
The director said he could easily start work
at the Institute inside of a day.
**[15:07] Sei**
That *is* impressive.
Does that mean he's knowledgeable?
**[15:10] Jude**
Yeah, he even knew lots of potion ingredients.
**[15:14] Jude**
I learned a few things
from the questions he was asking.
**[15:17] Sei**
Oh? Like what?
**[15:19] Jude**
Like if potions are made with different
ingredients and methods from country to country
**[15:24] Jude**
and if their effects differ because of that.
**[15:27] Sei**
Sounds like he's really all about potions.
**[15:31] Jude**
He talked about plenty of things,
so I can't say.
**[15:37] Sei**
Still, why is Prince Ten'yuu
visiting personally?
**[15:45] Ten'yuu**
Excuse me.
**[15:52] Ten'yuu**
Thank you for taking the time out of your day
**[15:54] Ten'yuu**
to give me a tour of the Institute.
**[15:57] Jude**
No, I'm glad to be of assistance.
**[16:01] Ten'yuu**
Are you a researcher as well?
**[16:03] Sei**
Er, no, I'm just a regular old passerby...
**[16:08] Jude**
Sei!
**[16:10] Sei**
Yes, I work as a researcher at this facility.
**[16:14] Sei**
My name is Sei.
**[16:17] Ten'yuu**
I'm an exchange student from Zaidera.
My name is Ten'yuu.
**[16:22] Ten'yuu**
I don't think we met
when I visited a few days ago.
**[16:26] Sei**
I was working in a different area
on that day, Your Highness.
**[16:30] Ten'yuu**
Ah, I see.
**[16:33] Ten'yuu**
My apologies for the
belated introduction, then.
**[16:36] Sei**
That's quite all right.
**[16:38] Ten'yuu**
It's a pleasure to meet you.
**[16:42] Sei**
Y-Yes...
**[16:49] Ten'yuu**
Would you happen to be the one
caring for those plants?
**[16:52] Sei**
Oh, yes.
**[16:54] Ten'yuu**
They're exceedingly rare medicinal herbs.
**[16:57] Ten'yuu**
I don't believe they're native
to this environment.
**[17:02] Sei**
You're very discerning. I had them
sent to me from Klausner's Domain.
**[17:07] Sei**
* He could tell at a glance?*
* He must really know his medicinal herbs...*
**[17:15] Sei**
Wh-What is it?
**[17:17] Ten'yuu**
Other than growing herbs,
what kind of research do you do?
**[17:20] Sei**
Um, well, I can't explain it that well,
but it's nothing especially important...
**[17:28] Ten'yuu**
I see. How very interesting.
**[17:31] Sei**
*Wait, what? How? Which part?*
**[17:35] Servant B**
Your Highness, it's almost time.
**[17:37] Ten'yuu**
I see.
**[17:39] Ten'yuu**
I apologize for interrupting your work.
**[17:42] Sei**
No, not at all.
Our apologies for keeping you.
**[17:46] Ten'yuu**
I would love to speak with you
more intimately in the future, Sei.
**[18:06] Sei**
Did you know he was visiting today?!
**[18:08] Jude**
I didn't!
**[18:09] Sei**
Then what was that?!
**[18:10] Jude**
Why was he here?!
**[18:19] Johan**
About your meeting with Prince Ten'yuu...
**[18:23] Johan**
Reporting of it to the royal palace
has caused a huge fuss.
**[18:29] Sei**
I'm so sorry. I was careless...
**[18:33] Johan**
Oh, no, I didn't mean because of you.
**[18:36] Johan**
It wasn't your fault.
You dealt with it as best you could.
**[18:41] Johan**
The problem is the imperial prince's behavior.
**[18:44] Sei**
What do you mean?
**[18:46] Johan**
The royal palace and His Majesty
were both unaware of his visit.
**[18:51] Johan**
In other words, he snuck into the Institute.
**[18:54] Jude**
What?! That's a serious problem.
**[18:57] Jude**
We keep a ton of
confidential information there.
**[19:01] Johan**
That's precisely why it caused such a fuss.
**[19:04] Jude**
Is he after Sei?
**[19:07] Johan**
I wonder. He claims he simply got lost
while going for a walk.
**[19:12] Sei**
He got lost, did he?
**[19:15] Jude**
And he just so conveniently
happened to run into us?
**[19:18] Johan**
Still, I believe the Holy Saint's
identity remains a secret from Zaidera.
**[19:24] Johan**
I don't think anyone would ever imagine
she's working so openly outside the palace.
**[19:28] Jude**
Yeah, no one would think the Holy Saint
**[19:30] Jude**
is super obsessed with special seedlings
**[19:34] Jude**
or a wicked workaholic.
**[19:36] Sei**
Watch it.
**[19:38] Jude**
Am I wrong?
**[19:39] Sei**
I didn't say that. Jeez...
**[19:43] Johan**
Well, the matter was settled
with but a stern warning this time.
**[19:46] Johan**
In exchange, we've assigned bodyguards
to keep tabs on the prince.
**[19:50] Jude**
Does that mean he can't come to the
Institute without permission anymore?
**[19:56] Johan**
That's right.
**[19:58] Jude**
Then there's nothing to worry about now.
**[20:00] Jude**
As long as we know he's coming,
we can hide Sei in the palace.
**[20:04] Jude**
Problem solved!
**[20:06] Jude**
You're free to overwork yourself again!
**[20:08] Johan**
Hey now...
**[20:15] Sei**
* One of his attendants said,*
* "It's almost time."*
**[20:19] Sei**
* Does that mean there was*
* a time limit on him being lost?*
**[20:29] Servant A**
Did you learn anything, Your Highness?
**[20:31] Ten'yuu**
Yes.
**[20:33] Ten'yuu**
During my first visit to the
Medicinal Flora Research Institute.
**[20:41] (Flashback) Knight**
Where's Sei?
**[20:42] (Flashback) Researcher**
She's not working today, remember?
**[20:45] (Flashback) Knight**
Oops, that's right. Sorry.
**[20:47] (Flashback) Knight**
I wanted to thank her
for last time. I'll come again.
**[20:54] Ten'yuu**
People clearly look up to
a researcher there named Sei.
**[20:59] Ten'yuu**
Multiple knights mentioned her
while I was there.
**[21:04] Servant A**
Is that significant?
**[21:07] Ten'yuu**
I've gathered three things.
**[21:09] Ten'yuu**
First, Sei the researcher is skilled enough
**[21:13] Ten'yuu**
that people outside
the Institute depend on her.
**[21:16] Ten'yuu**
Second, she's important enough that
everyone in the facility knows her days off.
**[21:23] Ten'yuu**
But third, her absence that day
**[21:25] Ten'yuu**
must have been so sudden
that word hadn't traveled.
**[21:31] Ten'yuu**
Almost as if she was purposefully
absent for my visit.
**[21:35] Ten'yuu**
In short, she may be the key I'm looking for.
**[21:39] Servant A**
I see...
**[21:41] Ten'yuu**
Well, that much is conjecture.
**[21:44] Ten'yuu**
I'm afraid my next move may be somewhat rash.
**[21:49] Servant A**
Think of your status, Your Highness...
**[21:51] Ten'yuu**
That doesn't matter. I must do this,
no matter what the sacrifice.
**[22:00] Servant A**
I wish you luck, Your Highness.

**[00:04] Jude**
And that's the entire process.
**[00:07] Jude**
Do you have any questions?
**[00:10] Ten'yuu**
Come to think of it, is that black-haired
researcher I met last time absent?
**[00:15] Jude**
You mean Sei? She's working elsewhere today.
**[00:19] Ten'yuu**
Is that so? I see.
**[00:22] Ten'yuu**
Thank you very much.
**[00:27] Ten'yuu**
I feel bad asking the same question again,
but is Sei here today?
**[00:33] Jude**
I'm very sorry. She's busy
working on another project...
**[00:38] Ten'yuu**
Hello. Is Sei...
**[00:41] Jude**
I'm sorry. She's still...
**[00:46] Ten'yuu**
Today—
**[00:46] Jude**
Unfortunately not!
**[00:50] Ten'yuu**
Is Sei here?
**[00:53] Jude**
I can't do this anymore!
**[00:56] Jude**
Every time he comes,
he keeps asking and asking and asking for Sei!
**[01:00] Jude**
I can only lie to him for so long!
**[01:04] Sei**
Isn't Prince Ten'yuu being monitored by
the knights assigned to him as bodyguards?
**[01:09] Johan**
Indeed. He can no longer get lost
while going for a walk.
**[01:14] Johan**
Who knew he'd simply resort
to asking after you to find you?
**[01:18] Sei**
It's difficult to refuse a prince
going through the proper channels...
**[01:28] Sei**
Do you think he knows that I'm avoiding him?
**[01:33] Johan**
I'd be surprised if he didn't.
**[01:36] Sei**
Of course...
**[01:38] Sei**
Sorry for putting you through all this, Jude.
**[01:41] Jude**
I don't mind, but I think we've
milked it about as much as we can.
**[01:46] Sei**
Do you think the prince will ever relent?
**[01:53] Johan**
I suppose we've no recourse.
**[01:57] Johan**
Yup, *we'll* give up.
**[01:59] Sei/Jude**
Come again?
**[03:48] Ten'yuu**
I see she's here today.
**[03:50] Jude**
Looks like it.
**[03:56] Sei**
* Now that we've crossed paths, I can't*
* realistically keep avoiding him forever.*
**[04:01] Sei**
*I'll take care not to expose my identity.*
**[04:06] Ten'yuu**
Hello, Sei.
**[04:09] Sei**
Your Highness!
**[04:12] Sei**
Welcome to the Institute.
**[04:16] Ten'yuu**
I'm very happy to meet you again.
**[04:18] Sei**
No, the pleasure's all mine.
**[04:23] Ten'yuu**
That's quite a sum...
**[04:26] Sei**
We also prepare the potions
for the royal palace here.
**[04:30] Ten'yuu**
That must be challenging work.
**[04:32] Ten'yuu**
How many of you did it take
to make this many?
**[04:34] Sei**
Huh?
**[04:36] Ten'yuu**
Huh?
**[04:40] Sei**
Let me think.
Probably four... or five people?
**[04:45] Sei**
* That was close! I can't tell him*
* I made all of these myself!*
**[04:50] Ten'yuu**
I see.
**[04:51] Ten'yuu**
Are these all mid-grade potions?
**[04:54] Sei**
Yes. I'm surprised you can tell.
**[04:58] Ten'yuu**
It seems like the basic steps to brew them
**[05:00] Ten'yuu**
are no different than the methods of Zaidera.
**[05:03] Sei**
Oh, is that so?
**[05:06] Sei**
*He can tell just by looking at them?*
**[05:08] Sei**
*Like I thought, he really knows his stuff.*
**[05:13] Ten'yuu**
However, the potions we use to cure
status ailments are somewhat different.
**[05:18] Sei**
How so?
**[05:20] Ten'yuu**
I believe it's due to the differing flora
between Zaidera and Salutania.
**[05:24] Ten'yuu**
Our recipes use many medicinal herbs
not available here.
**[05:28] Sei**
Medicinal herbs unique to Zaidera?
**[05:51] Sei**
* I-I couldn't help getting absorbed*
* in our medicinal herb discussion!*
**[05:55] Sei**
My apologies! I've kept you so long.
**[05:59] Ten'yuu**
No, I had forgotten the time.
**[06:03] Ten'yuu**
The depth of your knowledge is profound.
I have learned a lot from you.
**[06:12] Ten'yuu**
By the way, does this facility
make any high-grade potions?
**[06:19] Sei**
High-grade potions?
**[06:22] Ten'yuu**
For instance, ones that might have
the power to remedy an ailment
**[06:26] Ten'yuu**
that cannot be treated with other potions?
**[06:31] Sei**
What gave you that idea?
**[06:34] Ten'yuu**
Well...
**[06:36] Ten'yuu**
Earlier, you told me several researchers
worked on this sum of potions.
**[06:41] Ten'yuu**
Even so, it's a staggering amount.
**[06:44] Sei**
Y-Yes...
**[06:46] Ten'yuu**
If you can regularly produce
this kind of output,
**[06:49] Ten'yuu**
I thought someone here might be
capable of crafting high-grade potions.
**[06:56] Ten'yuu**
This is just a guess,
but perhaps you might be...
**[06:59] Sei**
It's true that I know someone
who can make high-grade potions.
**[07:04] Sei**
However, they fail more than they succeed.
**[07:07] Ten'yuu**
They do?
**[07:10] Sei**
As you know, the ingredients for high-grade
potions are quite costly
**[07:14] Sei**
and it's hard to recoup the expense.
**[07:17] Sei**
And given the low chances of success,
**[07:19] Sei**
they're difficult to make regularly.
**[07:22] Ten'yuu**
I see. We face a similar
problem in my homeland.
**[07:27] Sei**
So I may occasionally receive
high-grade potions from my acquaintance,
**[07:34] Sei**
but I could hardly rise to the
challenge making them myself.
**[07:38] Ten'yuu**
I see. It seems I was mistaken...
**[07:45] Ten'yuu**
Thank you for your time today.
**[07:48] Sei**
Don't mention it.
**[07:49] Ten'yuu**
Until next time...
***SIGN*** "Purpose"
**[08:01] Sei**
That was so exhausting!
**[08:05] Johan**
You did a fantastic job today.
**[08:07] Jude**
Looks like this is even more
taxing than your usual work!
**[08:10] Sei**
Not physically.
**[08:13] Sei**
Actually, talking with His Highness
was rather interesting.
**[08:16] Jude**
You guys *did* seem pretty into it.
**[08:19] Jude**
Seems like you really hit it off.
**[08:22] Sei**
Th-That was a part of my plan!
**[08:24] Jude**
Oh?
**[08:28] Sei**
But that's why it's so painful to lie to him.
**[08:32] Johan**
Sorry you have to do this for the kingdom.
**[08:35] Sei**
Don't say that. This is just part
of my duties, if you think about it.
**[08:40] Jude**
Still, I wonder why Prince Ten'yuu
is so fixated on you.
**[08:44] Sei**
He probably wants to know more
about the Holy Saint.
**[08:48] Johan**
Perhaps he's just quenching
a thirst for knowledge.
**[08:51] Johan**
On the other hand, he could
be gauging your use in war.
**[08:56] Jude**
Well, a Holy Saint *can* be
useful in all sorts of ways.
**[09:00] Sei**
Hey.
**[09:01] Johan**
Well, no point taking stabs in the dark.
**[09:04] Johan**
More importantly, we need
to focus on how to handle him.
**[09:08] Sei**
You're right.
**[09:09] Johan**
After him suspiciously "getting lost,"
it doesn't hurt to be wary.
**[09:16] Jude**
So we'll continue to proceed with caution?
**[09:21] Johan**
That Sei is our Holy Saint
and there are things only she can do...
**[09:26] Johan**
These two facts must be kept secret.
**[09:33] Sei**
We may need to collect
some intelligence ourselves.
**[09:36] Jude**
Intelligence?
**[09:37] Sei**
Yes. Don't they say that offense
is the best defense?
**[10:10] Franz**
An illustrated book on the flora of Zaidera?
**[10:13] Oscar**
I think we can manage to get something
like that. What do you need it for?
**[10:17] Sei**
A guest from Zaidera
is visiting the royal palace.
**[10:21] Oscar**
Oh, the imperial prince.
**[10:23] Sei**
That's right.
**[10:24] Sei**
He likes to ask me lots of questions,
**[10:27] Sei**
and I thought I might keep the heat off me
by steering our conversations
**[10:31] Sei**
toward medicinal herbs from his homeland.
**[10:35] Oscar**
How very like you, Lady Sei.
**[10:38] Oscar**
Are you sure this isn't just an excuse
to learn about herbs from Zaidera?
**[10:43] Sei**
I-I don't know what you're talking about...
**[10:46] Oscar**
Anyway, can the imperial prince
keep up with you intellectually?
**[10:51] Sei**
Yes, he seems very
knowledgeable on the subject.
**[10:54] Sei**
There was practically
no end to our conversation.
**[10:57] Sei**
I think his studies are heavily
focused on medicinal plants.
**[11:02] Oscar**
So that's how it shakes out...
**[11:04] Sei**
How it shakes out?
**[11:08] Franz**
Well, you see, my lady,
it's quite suspicious.
**[11:13] Sei**
What do you mean?
**[11:15] Franz**
Something has been bothering me
about the imperial prince.
**[11:21] Oscar**
Lady Sei, do you remember meeting
Captain Ceyran in Morgenhaffen?
**[11:30] Sei**
What about him?
**[11:31] Oscar**
Well, he was searching for an alchemist.
**[11:35] Oscar**
One who can make high-grade potions.
**[11:39] Oscar**
We didn't know anything at the time.
**[11:43] Franz**
We've looked into Captain
Ceyran a bit since then.
**[11:48] Franz**
He apparently has a very powerful backer.
**[11:52] Sei**
He does?
**[11:55] Franz**
The imperial prince who is currently here
as an exchange student.
**[12:00] Franz**
His in-depth knowledge
of plants makes me suspect
**[12:03] Franz**
that *he's* really the one
looking for an alchemist.
**[12:08] Sei**
So Prince Ten'yuu is personally
visiting various facilities
**[12:12] Sei**
while his subordinates search the cities?
**[12:14] Franz**
But it's strange...
**[12:21] Oscar**
While we were conducting business,
I spoke with Captain Ceyran personally.
**[12:26] Oscar**
I brought up the Holy Saint,
**[12:28] Oscar**
and he couldn't have cared less.
**[12:31] Sei**
You sure he wasn't pretending?
**[12:34] Oscar**
Yeah, he showed no interest whatsoever
and simply changed the subject.
**[12:39] Oscar**
All he cares about is finding an alchemist.
**[12:42] Franz**
He seems to believe that the Holy Saint's power
**[12:46] Franz**
is good for subjugating monsters
and nothing more.
**[12:50] Franz**
We've spoken with others from Zaidera,
and they're all under the same impression.
**[12:56] Sei**
Hold on a second there!
**[12:58] Sei**
This means Ceyran is probably
looking for an alchemist for Prince Ten'yuu,
**[13:03] Sei**
who is so desperate that
he came to the palace himself...
**[13:07] Oscar**
But his goal isn't the Holy Saint.
**[13:11] Sei**
They just need someone
who's really good at making potions?
**[13:16] Franz**
That is our conclusion.
**[13:20] Sei**
Why would a foreign prince go so far?
**[13:22] Sei**
High-grade potions are rare,
**[13:25] Sei**
but he'd have a better chance
of finding them in his own country.
**[13:29] Franz**
That's the mystery.
**[13:32] Oscar**
Well, at the very least,
he doesn't seem to have ill intent
**[13:36] Oscar**
toward our Holy Saint.
**[13:41] Sei**
Regardless of their intent,
I have to say I'm curious now.
**[13:51] Sei**
Okay, I'm going to do a little digging.
**[13:54] Franz/Oscar**
Huh?
**[13:58] Oscar**
Digging? On the imperial prince?
**[14:00] Franz**
Isn't that dangerous?
**[14:02] Sei**
Prince Ten'yuu is here
to study for a full year.
**[14:06] Sei**
It'll be exhausting to lie to him the
entire time. I'm truly not good at it.
**[14:13] Oscar**
But...
**[14:14] Franz**
Do you have a plan?
**[14:16] Sei**
I have a dependable partner
who's a kindred spirit!
**[14:40] Sei**
She should be here soon.
**[14:44] Sei**
Liz!
**[14:45] Sei**
Or not!
**[14:49] Albert**
Should I not have come?
**[14:53] Sei**
Th-That's not it! I'm sorry!
**[14:55] Sei**
Liz... Er, Elizabeth...
**[14:57] Sei**
I mean, Lady Ashley and I
have an appointment.
**[15:01] Albert**
I see. Will you be reading together?
**[15:05] Sei**
It's more like a strategy meeting...
**[15:08] Sei**
What brings you here, Commander Hawke?
**[15:11] Albert**
In truth, I'll be returning home
for some time next week.
**[15:15] Sei**
Returning home?
**[15:17] Albert**
Monster sightings have become
more prevalent in Hawke territory.
**[15:22] Sei**
That's...
**[15:25] Albert**
It's nothing so dire.
**[15:28] Albert**
Just an excuse of sorts for a son
to visit his parents.
**[15:33] Albert**
But our home is quite far
from the royal capital.
**[15:39] Albert**
I'm afraid I'll be away for a while.
**[15:43] Albert**
So I wanted to see you before I departed.
**[15:50] Liz**
Oh?
**[15:53] Liz**
Oh my!
**[15:54] Liz**
Dearie me.
**[15:56] Sei**
Liz! Liz!
**[15:58] Liz**
My apologies. I just recalled
that I have something to do.
**[16:03] Sei**
Liz?!
**[16:05] Liz**
Why don't you discuss your plans
with Lord Hawke instead?
**[16:12] Liz**
Good day, Sei. Take your time.
**[16:15] Sei**
Liz!
**[16:23] Albert**
What plans?
**[16:25] Sei**
W-Well, about that...
**[16:31] Albert**
I would love nothing more
than to help you out if I can.
**[16:36] Sei**
Sure...
**[16:40] Albert**
I see.
**[16:42] Albert**
You wish to know Prince Ten'yuu's purpose,
**[16:44] Albert**
but you feel like asking him directly
may cause a diplomatic issue.
**[16:50] Sei**
He's particularly interested
in potions that can cure ailments,
**[16:55] Sei**
but I don't exactly know why that is.
**[16:58] Sei**
So I'd like to find out more in that regard.
**[17:03] Albert**
Is that the reason for all these
technical books? Quite impressive.
**[17:06] Sei**
Yet I still don't know
how to bring it up with him.
**[17:10] Sei**
I feel like he'll deflect my questions
if I ask him too frankly.
**[17:18] Albert**
In that case, what about this?
**[17:37] Sei**
Your Highness!
**[17:39] Ten'yuu**
I wanted to thank you for always
taking time out of your workdays for me.
**[17:45] Ten'yuu**
Starting next week, I will be
visiting a different facility.
**[17:50] Sei**
I see...
**[17:52] Sei**
I really enjoyed discussing
medicinal herbs with you.
**[17:59] Ten'yuu**
As did I. I've never met someone
as knowledgeable as you are before.
**[18:03] Sei**
I'm honored.
**[18:06] Ten'yuu**
While our conversations
have been quite fruitful,
**[18:09] Ten'yuu**
I'm afraid I don't have long left.
**[18:13] Sei**
You don't have long?
**[18:16] Albert**
Is Sei here?
**[18:19] Sei**
Commander Hawke!
**[18:26] Albert**
I have a request.
**[18:28] Sei**
What is it?
**[18:32] Albert**
Our inventory has gotten quite low.
**[18:35] Albert**
We'd like more potions
that can cure status ailments.
**[18:39] Sei**
What kind are you looking for?
**[18:41] Albert**
High-grades ones.
The kind most people can't make.
**[18:45] Albert**
Don't you know an alchemist who can help me?
**[18:49] Sei**
I can't really say for certain.
**[18:51] Sei**
With high-grade potion for ailments,
**[18:53] Sei**
the difficulty varies depending
on what you want to cure.
**[18:57] Albert**
What types of conditions
are the hardest to treat?
**[19:00] Sei**
For instance, poisons circulating
in the body that inhibit healing
**[19:07] Sei**
are challenging to remedy
with regular potions.
**[19:10] Albert**
I see.
**[19:11] Sei**
I've heard ailments that present
differently from person to person
**[19:15] Sei**
are also especially hard to craft potions for.
**[19:19] Albert**
Understood.
**[19:20] Albert**
But even so, isn't the alchemist you know
talented enough to deliver?
**[19:25] Sei**
Yes, I'm sure they'd try their best to help.
**[19:29] Albert**
They've saved so many lives already.
**[19:32] Albert**
I'm sure their talent is far
more special than they believe.
**[19:39] Sei**
Well, I don't know about that...
**[19:44] Albert**
Now then, isn't your friend keenly interested
in creating potions for various ailments?
**[19:53] Sei**
Yes, that's right.
**[19:55] Sei**
Although their success will depend
on what they're trying to treat.
**[19:58] Albert**
I'll return once I have a better idea
of exactly what our unit needs.
**[20:09] Sei**
*Looks like that worked, I think.*
**[20:12] Albert**
I'll submit my request some other time, then.
**[20:15] Sei**
I'll be waiting.
**[20:18] Albert**
I want to see you
when I come back, after all.
**[20:25] Albert**
If you'll excuse me...
**[20:29] Sei**
* Goodness, we didn't*
* rehearse any lines like that!*
**[20:37] Sei**
And so, we put on a little act.
**[20:41] Johan**
You really do some daring things.
**[20:47] Jude**
Sei? His Highness wants to speak with you.
**[20:50] Sei**
Here we go!
**[21:01] Ten'yuu**
Forgive me. I happened
to overhear your conversation before.
**[21:07] Sei**
Which conversation do you mean?
**[21:11] Ten'yuu**
Could you possibly introduce me
to your alchemist friend, Sei?
**[21:19] Sei**
They're very particular...
**[21:22] Sei**
What exactly are you hoping for from them?
**[21:28] Ten'yuu**
Will you keep this information a secret?
**[21:36] Ten'yuu**
Have you ever heard
of someone slowly wasting,
**[21:38] Ten'yuu**
eventually unable to use their arms and legs?
**[21:42] Sei**
Well, I've heard of diseases
that cause muscular atrophy.
**[21:48] Ten'yuu**
I'm looking for a potion
that can cure such an ailment.
**[21:52] Ten'yuu**
No alchemist in Zaidera
could do anything for it.
**[21:57] Ten'yuu**
I know someone suffering from the condition.
**[22:01] Ten'yuu**
It's my mother.

**[00:10] (Flashback) Young Ten'yuu**
Mother! Guess what!
**[00:12] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother**
What is it, Ten'yuu?
**[00:14] (Flashback) Young Ten'yuu**
Father is taking everyone
to the harvest festival!
**[00:18] (Flashback) Young Ten'yuu**
May I go as well?
**[00:20] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother**
Absolutely not.
**[00:23] (Flashback) Young Ten'yuu**
But my elder brothers are all going...
**[00:26] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother**
You are different from your brothers.
**[00:29] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother**
You mustn't do anything to stand out.
**[00:32] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother**
Do not make any enemies.
**[00:36] (Flashback) Young Ten'yuu**
Yes, Mother...
**[00:45] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother**
Forgive me. I can do nothing as your mother.
**[01:02] (Flashback) Tenjun**
So this is where you've been hiding.
**[01:04] (Flashback) Ten'yuu**
Oh, Brother Tenjun...
**[01:07] (Flashback) Tenjun**
Studying arithmetic
and natural sciences again?
**[01:10] (Flashback) Tenjun**
You always work so hard, Ten'yuu.
**[01:12] (Flashback) Ten'yuu**
It's in my nature.
**[01:14] (Flashback) Tenjun**
You should at least attend the
imperial meetings every so often.
**[01:19] (Flashback) Ten'yuu**
I have no interest in politics.
**[01:22] (Flashback) Tenjun**
Even though you're in the line of succession?
**[01:24] (Flashback) Ten'yuu**
I am the eighteenth son.
**[01:26] (Flashback) Ten'yuu**
My birthright is completely different
from the other princes'.
**[01:30] (Flashback) Ten'yuu**
I just want to live peacefully
within my means.
**[01:40] (Flashback) Servant A**
Prince Ten'yuu, it's terrible!
**[01:41] (Flashback) Servant A**
Your mother has...
***SIGN*** "Divine Blessing"
**[03:25] (Flashback) Ten'yuu**
How are you feeling, Mother?
**[03:28] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother**
I'm fine. After all these years,
I've gotten used to it.
**[03:35] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother**
I've received permission to browse
the imperial archives.
**[03:38] (Flashback) Ten'yuu**
This time, I'm sure to find a cure.
**[03:41] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother**
You've done enough, Ten'yuu.
**[03:46] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother**
I'm quite certain no one can heal me.
**[03:49] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother**
I want you to focus on yourself.
**[03:52] (Flashback) Ten'yuu**
I couldn't...
**[03:54] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother**
As your mother, to see you live well
will bring me happiness.
**[04:06] Ten'yuu**
*My own happiness is
to see* you *living well, Mother.*
**[04:17] Ten'yuu**
Then, in the middle of my research,
**[04:20] Ten'yuu**
I received a message about a very
precious potion from Salutania.
**[04:25] Sei**
I-Is that so?
**[04:27] Ten'yuu**
With such high-grade potions in circulation,
**[04:30] Ten'yuu**
there *must* be an outstanding alchemist here.
**[04:34] Ten'yuu**
As soon as I realized that,
I decided to visit as a transfer student.
**[04:38] Sei**
So that's your reason, is it?
**[04:40] Ten'yuu**
In truth, I originally believed
you to be that alchemist.
**[04:47] Sei**
*Bingo.*
**[04:49] Ten'yuu**
Though I was wrong,
I was still lucky to find you.
**[04:53] Ten'yuu**
I'm grateful you're willing to speak
to this outstanding alchemist on my behalf.
**[04:57] Sei**
*Ugh, I feel so guilty.*
**[05:01] Ten'yuu**
Unfortunately, however,
even if they're willing to lend an ear,
**[05:07] Ten'yuu**
it may yet amount to nothing.
**[05:10] Sei**
Why do you say that?
**[05:13] Ten'yuu**
You mentioned that there is a diverse
range of status ailment potions.
**[05:17] Sei**
Yes. Different symptoms
require different potions, you see.
**[05:22] Ten'yuu**
And not all potions will work
for variances of the same symptoms?
**[05:26] Sei**
That's correct.
**[05:29] Ten'yuu**
My mother's condition has worsened over time.
**[05:32] Ten'yuu**
She grew too weak to walk before she knew it.
**[05:35] Ten'yuu**
Now she's completely bedridden.
**[05:37] Ten'yuu**
I cannot fully detail
the intricacies of her symptoms.
**[05:44] Ten'yuu**
The alchemist may not be able to create the
right potion without examining her directly.
**[05:50] Sei**
But that's...
**[05:52] Ten'yuu**
It's not possible to take an alchemist
from the Salutanian royal palace to Zaidera.
**[05:59] Ten'yuu**
Nor would my mother survive the journey here.
**[06:12] Sei**
I wish there was a potion
that could cure all status ailments.
**[06:18] Ten'yuu**
All status ailments?
**[06:19] Sei**
Something you might call a panacea.
**[06:24] Ten'yuu**
If something like that truly existed...
**[06:27] Ten'yuu**
It'd be a dream come true.
**[06:35] Ten'yuu**
My apologies. Thank you for
listening to my woes for so long.
**[06:40] Sei**
Oh, it's fine.
**[06:41] Ten'yuu**
I don't know what else there is
for me to try, but I'll do everything I can.
**[06:49] Ten'yuu**
Please relay this information
to the alchemist.
**[06:54] Sei**
Of course.
**[07:01] Sei**
Trying everything you can, huh?
**[07:10] Johan**
A panacea?
**[07:13] Johan**
Why the sudden desire to make such a thing?
**[07:16] Sei**
Well, I...
**[07:17] Johan**
Is it for Prince Ten'yuu?
**[07:20] Sei**
Yes.
**[07:22] Johan**
You told me you wished to know his purpose.
**[07:24] Johan**
You didn't say anything about helping him.
**[07:27] Johan**
Did he ask to keep this a secret?
**[07:30] Sei**
No, that's not the case.
**[07:32] Sei**
It just seems like he doesn't want
too many people to know the truth.
**[07:36] Johan**
I see.
**[07:37] Johan**
Even so, I'll need to know the details.
**[07:40] Johan**
The palace is worried about what
the prince is after too.
**[07:44] Sei**
I understand.
**[07:46] Johan**
I know how you feel,
but please think of us too.
**[07:51] Johan**
Everyone wants to protect you, Sei.
**[07:54] Sei**
I'm terribly sorry.
**[07:57] Johan**
Now, then...
**[07:58] Johan**
You want to create a panacea
to cure any manner of status ailment?
**[08:05] Sei**
I'm not sure if such a thing
is really possible.
**[08:09] Johan**
Neither am I. That's like trying
to catch clouds with your hands.
**[08:12] Johan**
And there's another serious complication.
**[08:16] Johan**
If you can truly make a panacea,
**[08:18] Johan**
I don't have the authority to provide
the recipe to the imperial prince.
**[08:24] Johan**
We'd need the prime minister...
or even His Majesty's permission.
**[08:29] Sei**
Yes...
**[08:31] Johan**
Well, I completely support
your personal research on it.
**[08:36] Sei**
Huh? You support the research?
**[08:39] Johan**
Of course.
**[08:41] Johan**
For many, the more difficult
something is, the more inspiring.
**[08:44] Sei**
But...
**[08:46] Johan**
I can see Prince Ten'yuu triggered
your interest in a panacea,
**[08:50] Johan**
and there's no harm in a passion project.
**[08:53] Sei**
Thank you so much!
**[08:55] Johan**
Just be careful when and
where you do your research.
**[08:59] Johan**
We can't let him find out about your powers.
**[09:02] Sei**
Okay!
**[09:14] Jude**
Sei! You got a letter.
**[09:16] Sei**
Thank you.
**[09:20] Sei**
It's from Corinna.
**[09:22] Jude**
Corinna?
**[09:23] Sei**
The alchemist who looked after
me in Klausner's Domain.
**[09:32] Jude**
Is it some kind of bad news?
**[09:34] Sei**
Well, not strictly speaking.
**[09:37] Sei**
I asked her some questions
about creating a panacea.
**[09:41] Jude**
Didn't get the answers
you were hoping for?
**[09:43] Sei**
Yeah.
**[09:46] Sei**
But it's not like I didn't learn anything at all.
**[09:50] Sei**
She couldn't tell me about creating a panacea,
**[09:53] Sei**
but she suggested some herbs that
might have an effect on the symptoms.
**[09:58] Jude**
I see. As expected of an alchemist
from the Holy Land.
**[10:05] Sei**
Huh?
**[10:06] Jude**
What's wrong?
**[10:07] Sei**
It's not in here.
**[10:09] Jude**
Huh?
**[10:14] Jude**
Oh!
**[10:19] Sei**
What's that?
**[10:20] Jude**
A dictionary of flowering plants
covering nonmedicinal varieties.
**[10:25] Jude**
Isn't this it?
**[10:26] Sei**
You're right. It's not regarded
a medicinal plant?
**[10:30] Jude**
Maybe only the alchemists
of Klausner's Domain know about it.
**[10:33] Sei**
Yeah, that's entirely possible.
**[10:36] Jude**
Since it's not medicinal, I don't know
if our facility cultivates any of it.
**[10:42] Jude**
What's wrong?
**[10:43] Sei**
There may be lots of plants like this
that aren't considered medicinal.
**[10:47] Sei**
On top of that, they may be hard
to obtain in the royal capital...
**[10:50] Sei**
Researching this might be
much tougher than I thought.
**[10:54] Jude**
True.
**[10:58] Johan**
You two sure get along.
**[11:11] Sei**
I'm sorry. Making that potion
has proved most difficult.
**[11:16] Sei**
Or, um, that's what I heard
from the alchemist.
**[11:21] Ten'yuu**
There's no need to apologize.
**[11:24] Sei**
But they really want to produce
results before you depart.
**[11:29] Sei**
That's what the alchemist told me.
**[11:31] Ten'yuu**
I appreciate the concern.
**[11:35] Sei**
You'll be studying here for a year, correct?
**[11:43] Ten'yuu**
Actually, I've received a letter
from a servant of my mother's.
**[11:48] Ten'yuu**
Her condition is apparently declining.
**[11:53] Ten'yuu**
Instead of studying abroad,
**[11:55] Ten'yuu**
I think my mother would prefer it
if I were by her side in her final days.
**[12:04] Ten'yuu**
Perhaps because the two of us have only
ever had each other, I'm inclined to worry.
**[12:09] Ten'yuu**
My apologies.
**[12:11] Sei**
I understand how it feels to be
far away from your own mother.
**[12:17] Ten'yuu**
I'm not certain how
much longer I have left here,
**[12:22] Ten'yuu**
but I would love to speak with you again.
**[12:25] Sei**
Yes, I would like that too.
**[12:51] Sei**
Commander Hawke?!
**[12:52] Albert**
I've kept my promise, Sei.
**[12:54] Sei**
Your promise?
**[12:56] Albert**
You're the first person I've come to see
upon my return to the capital.
**[13:13] Sei**
How was your visit home?
**[13:16] Albert**
My father and mother are both doing well.
**[13:19] Albert**
However, the monsters are increasing in
our lands at a faster pace than reported.
**[13:23] Albert**
We may need to keep an eye on the situation.
**[13:27] Sei**
I see...
**[13:28] Albert**
Once things have settled down,
I'd love for you to see my birthplace.
**[13:34] Sei**
I would too. I may be able
to help as the Holy Saint.
**[13:39] Albert**
Oh, no! That's not what I meant.
**[13:43] Albert**
By the way, this is for you.
**[13:45] Albert**
Open it.
**[13:53] Sei**
Honey?
**[13:55] Albert**
A gift from my domain.
**[13:56] Sei**
Can I really have this?
**[13:58] Albert**
Of course.
**[13:59] Albert**
I brought it just for you, Sei.
**[14:02] Sei**
Thank you so much!
**[14:04] Sei**
I haven't seen honey in so long.
**[14:07] Sei**
Oh, is it all right to use this in my tea?
**[14:11] Albert**
Yes.
**[14:18] Sei**
Wait, this aroma...
**[14:20] Sei**
Is it apples?
**[14:21] Albert**
I'm surprised you recognized it.
**[14:23] Albert**
The honey is made from apple blossoms.
**[14:26] Sei**
It has a very distinct scent.
**[14:29] Sei**
Apple honey is rare, even where I'm from.
**[14:34] Sei**
This must be precious.
**[14:36] Albert**
It's true that we don't produce
much of it, but don't you like sweets?
**[14:41] Sei**
I do...
**[14:42] Albert**
Then please accept this gift freely.
**[14:45] Albert**
I'm pleased to see you so happy.
**[14:48] Sei**
Th-Thank you very much...
**[14:56] Sei**
It's delicious.
**[14:58] Albert**
I'm glad.
**[14:59] Albert**
Really and truly glad.
**[15:04] Albert**
You seemed a bit depressed,
so I'm relieved to see you smiling.
**[15:11] Sei**
I'm sorry for making you worry.
**[15:14] Albert**
Fret not. Were you ruminating
on your research?
**[15:18] Sei**
I've hit a bit of a snag...
**[15:20] Sei**
But this has really helped me unwind.
**[15:23] Sei**
The honey has such a sweet, gentle flavor.
**[15:27] Albert**
I see.
**[15:31] Sei**
It's quite delicious.
**[15:33] Albert**
I've never used honey in tea,
so I'm unfamiliar with the flavor.
**[15:38] Sei**
Honey tea is a great drink
when your throat hurts.
**[15:41] Sei**
I recommend mixing it in warm milk
when you can't sleep as well.
**[15:45] Albert**
I see it has many uses.
**[15:47] Sei**
Yes, they say that honey
is a universal remedy.
**[15:51] Sei**
And it's also commonly said that
an apple a day keeps the doctor away...
**[15:57] Albert**
What is it?
**[15:58] Sei**
I just had an idea.
**[16:00] Sei**
A potion made with apple honey...
**[16:03] Sei**
I was wondering if I could
use this to make a panacea.
**[16:08] Sei**
Mixing totally different ingredients
with medicinal herbs might be the key!
**[16:13] Sei**
Why didn't I think of it sooner?
**[16:15] Sei**
I wonder if different honeys
will produce different effects...
**[16:19] Sei**
What about honey from lotus flowers?
**[16:22] Sei**
Oh, that's right!
**[16:23] Sei**
I can use my holy powers, just like I do
when making high-grade healing potions!
**[16:27] Sei**
I can grow them myself!
**[16:29] Johan**
I tried to find some for you,
**[16:31] Johan**
but it doesn't seem apples are
for sale this time of the year.
**[16:35] Sei**
Then I'll have to wait until autumn?
**[16:38] Johan**
I was only able to get a few saplings.
Will that suffice?
**[16:42] Sei**
That's actually better!
**[16:44] Johan**
Your magic is practically cheating...
**[16:50] Johan**
This is the place, Sei.
**[17:04] Sei**
This is...
**[17:05] Johan**
You're going to use
the Saint's conjury, right?
**[17:09] Johan**
I asked His Majesty to have
it planted out of sight.
**[17:13] Sei**
Thank you very much.
**[17:14] Johan**
You can go all out.
Have at it to your heart's content.
**[17:19] Sei**
Yes!
**[17:29] Sei**
*I want to be of help.*
**[17:31] Sei**
*Just like that gentle honey...*
**[18:18] Siegfried**
Thank you for responding to my
summons at this early hour.
**[18:21] Ten'yuu**
It was no trouble.
**[18:22] Siegfried**
Have you gotten used to the academy?
**[18:25] Ten'yuu**
Yes. Everyone has been very kind and helpful.
**[18:32] Siegfried**
I hear that you are interested
in medicinal herbs.
**[18:35] Ten'yuu**
Yes, a bit...
**[18:37] Siegfried**
Did you know that the founder of alchemy
was from our kingdom long ago?
**[18:43] Ten'yuu**
No, I can't say I did...
**[18:45] Siegfried**
I see.
**[18:46] Siegfried**
This alchemist was so incredibly talented that
**[18:49] Siegfried**
some of their formulas were lost
and never successfully replicated.
**[18:59] Ten'yuu**
What is this?
**[19:00] Siegfried**
Potions created by said alchemist that
have been passed down in the royal family.
**[19:05] Siegfried**
They are known as panaceas.
**[19:08] Ten'yuu**
Panacea?
**[19:10] Siegfried**
It can remedy all manner of status ailments.
**[19:13] Siegfried**
Be it poison, paralysis, or disease,
this can cure them all.
**[19:21] Siegfried**
I'd like to offer these to you.
**[19:24] Siegfried**
Consider it a token of friendship
between our nations.
**[19:32] Ten'yuu**
I cannot accept something like this.
**[19:35] Siegfried**
And why not?
**[19:36] Ten'yuu**
I am but a powerless prince.
**[19:39] Ten'yuu**
I cannot provide anything
of equal value in return.
**[19:43] Siegfried**
I am the sovereign of this kingdom.
I cannot say I expect nothing.
**[19:47] Siegfried**
However, I do not need anything
from you immediately.
**[19:52] Ten'yuu**
That's...
**[19:53] Siegfried**
Think of it as an investment.
**[19:55] Siegfried**
Those who have met you all tell me
you are a man of integrity.
**[20:01] Siegfried**
*We* truly wish to become friends.
**[20:12] Ten'yuu**
In that case, I gratefully accept this gift.
**[20:23] Jude**
Sei! You have a letter from Prince Ten'yuu.
**[20:26] Sei**
Lovely!
**[20:27] Jude**
I heard His Highness is returning home.
**[20:30] Sei**
Seems like it.
**[20:31] Jude**
I'm a little sad we didn't get
to say goodbye to him.
**[20:36] Sei**
We'll meet again if fate allows.
**[20:41] Jude**
I heard he has urgent business back home.
**[20:44] Jude**
It's because he got
the medicine you made, right?
**[20:47] Sei**
Probably.
**[20:48] Sei**
His Majesty handled all the details,
so I don't know exactly how he received it.
**[20:55] Jude**
I hope it works.
**[21:02] Sei**
* I hope to hear stories about*
* Prince Ten'yuu's mother someday.*
**[22:51] Ceyran**
We should reach Zaidera in a few days.
**[22:55] Ten'yuu**
I see.
**[22:57] Ceyran**
I wonder who could have created
something like that.
**[23:02] Ten'yuu**
Well...
**[23:06] Ten'yuu**
I don't know who created it,
**[23:08] Ten'yuu**
but I know who did all they could to help me.
**[23:15] Ten'yuu**
I only spoke with one person about a panacea.
**[23:22] Ten'yuu**
I'm sure this will cure my mother.

**[00:15] Albert**
Sei! Now!
**[00:16] Sei**
Right!
**[00:27] Wolff**
Did she get them?!
**[00:32] Knights**
We did it!
**[00:43] Wolff**
Once again, we've safely cleared
the area thanks to Sei.
**[00:46] Knight A**
The monsters' numbers are really declining!
**[00:53] Albert**
Did you find something nice again?
**[00:56] Sei**
Oh, it's nothing important, but...
**[01:01] Sei**
The firs caught my eye.
**[01:03] Sei**
We also had them back home in my world.
**[01:06] Albert**
They bring back memories?
**[01:08] Sei**
Well, nothing special in particular.
**[01:10] Sei**
We just decorate them in wintertime.
**[01:13] Albert**
You decorate them?
**[01:15] Sei**
Yes, in celebration of a
winter holiday, you could say.
**[01:20] Albert**
A holiday, huh?
**[01:22] Albert**
What do you celebrate?
**[01:23] Sei**
Lots of different things
like a holy birthday,
**[01:26] Sei**
the winter solstice,
or the coming of a new year.
**[01:28] Sei**
I think...
**[01:30] Sei**
*There are theories on its origin.*
**[01:32] Albert**
You think?
**[01:34] Sei**
I don't know much about it.
**[01:36] Sei**
In my homeland, it's a romantic holiday
that you spend with a loved one.
**[01:41] Sei**
*Supposedly.*
**[01:42] Albert**
You spend it with a loved one?
**[01:44] Albert**
Do you have any special memories of—
**[01:47] Sei**
Nope.
**[01:48] Albert**
That was a swift response.
**[01:50] Sei**
I was always working.
**[01:52] Sei**
* With the end-of-the-year rush,*
* a corporate slave like me never had the time.*
**[01:57] Albert**
Did you dislike the holiday?
**[02:00] Sei**
No.
**[02:04] Sei**
I enjoyed the festive atmosphere.
**[02:09] Sei**
The illuminations at night were very pretty.
**[02:13] Sei**
There were all sorts of decorations.
**[02:15] Sei**
Ornaments that shine like the stars,
strings of twinkling bulbs,
**[02:20] Sei**
and others that make the snow
glitter from their reflection...
**[02:23] Sei**
They'd all light up the city at night.
**[02:26] Sei**
I'm sorry. I'm probably not doing
a very good job of conveying it.
**[02:30] Albert**
No, I can picture it clearly.
**[02:32] Sei**
Really?
**[02:34] Albert**
Yes. I think it's beautiful.
**[02:37] Sei**
Yes! It truly is!
**[02:39] Sei**
Everything just sparkles...
**[02:41] Albert**
That's not what I meant.
**[02:43] Albert**
I think you're stunning
when you talk about things you like.
**[02:57] Sei**
*He has such a handsome face.*
**[02:58] Sei**
*Wait, hold on. No way. This is too much.*
**[03:00] Sei**
*Isn't the commander the stunning one here?*
***SIGN*** "Interlude"
**[04:41] Liz**
You look rather exhausted.
**[04:44] Liz**
Was the subjugation difficult?
**[04:47] Sei**
It went well enough.
There were far fewer monsters this time.
**[04:51] Sei**
* I can't tell them I'm like this*
* over the commander's smile...*
**[04:54] Aira**
The number of subjugations
is also decreasing lately.
**[04:58] Aira**
It's been a bit quiet for
the Royal Magi Assembly, too.
**[05:00] Liz**
My, things really are calming down.
**[05:04] Liz**
That means we'll be up against
a new problem soon.
**[05:09] Sei**
Another problem?
**[05:11] Liz**
To be frank, your engagement.
**[05:14] Sei**
Engagement?
**[05:15] Liz**
Why are you making such a
disagreeable expression?
**[05:18] Sei**
No reason...
**[05:20] Liz**
It's time to think about marriage seriously.
**[05:24] Liz**
You've used your duties as an excuse thus far,
**[05:26] Sei**
* What the heck is this?*
* Am I back at my parents' house?*
**[05:26] Liz**
but you cannot put it off forever.
**[05:28] Aira**
N-Now, now...
**[05:30] Liz**
Have you not already had your debut
and is your work not slowing down?
**[05:36] Sei**
Well, yes.
**[05:37] Sei**
That's true, Mother.
**[05:39] Liz**
Who are you calling your mother?
**[05:41] Liz**
Still, that being the case, aren't you
going to receive invitations more often?
**[05:46] Sei**
You mean to tea parties like this?
**[05:48] Liz**
Well, I'm sure you'll get invited
to evening parties as well.
**[05:51] Sei**
Huh?
**[05:52] Liz**
You're most popular, Sei.
**[05:54] Sei**
That's not true...
**[05:55] Liz**
It is *quite* true.
**[05:57] Liz**
I'd wager the royal palace is simply
flooded with invitations for you.
**[06:01] Sei**
What?
**[06:02] Sei**
I'm not good with that stuff...
**[06:09] Liz**
Sei.
**[06:10] Liz**
I know I've said my piece, but in the end,
I want you to do as you wish.
**[06:19] Liz**
Even so, given your status,
**[06:20] Liz**
social events will be a part of your life.
**[06:22] Liz**
You must think of ways
to graciously sidestep them.
**[06:30] Sei**
Yeah...
**[06:31] Sei**
I'll give it some thought.
**[06:40] Sei**
Oh, look at the time.
**[06:42] Sei**
Well, I have another engagement,
so I'll excuse myself for today.
**[06:48] Sei**
See you again. Farewell.
**[06:53] Liz**
I said that... but what a conundrum.
**[06:58] Aira**
What is?
**[07:01] Liz**
I am talking about Sei.
**[07:02] Liz**
After her debut, many nobles
have been testing the waters.
**[07:08] Aira**
Oh, you mean for a political marriage...
**[07:11] Liz**
I've been giving noncommittal responses,
but I won't be able to do so forever.
**[07:16] Aira**
Well, I think Sei's feelings are most
important in a situation like this.
**[07:23] Liz**
You're absolutely right...
**[07:27] Liz**
However, marriages between nobles
are not necessarily matters of the heart.
**[07:32] Liz**
I'm not sure society will
understand how she feels.
**[07:37] Liz**
Although, I'm sure the romance of it all
is normal in your world.
**[07:43] Aira**
I guess it is.
**[07:45] Aira**
I don't really get marrying for your family
or because of your parents.
**[07:49] Aira**
But I definitely want to marry who I love...
**[07:57] Aira**
Oh! Not that I have
anyone like that right now!
**[08:04] Liz**
How splendid it would be to marry someone
who shares that feeling of love with you...
**[08:15] Aira**
What about you, Liz?
**[08:18] Aira**
Are you all right with the way things are?
**[08:23] Liz**
I've never even thought about that.
**[08:26] Liz**
This is what it means to be
the daughter of a marquis.
**[08:33] Liz**
However, including my obligations as a lady,
**[08:38] Liz**
I have chosen to walk this path myself.
**[08:43] Liz**
Besides, don't you think building
a loving relationship from scratch
**[08:47] Liz**
is also a splendid thing?
**[08:50] Aira**
Yeah...
**[08:53] Aira**
Yeah.
**[08:58] Aira**
I want you to find happiness, Liz.
**[09:02] Liz**
Aira, I wish the same for you.
**[09:11] Liz**
I hope for your happiness as well.
**[09:25] Dominic**
The Minister of Military Affairs,
Josef Hawke,
**[09:28] Dominic**
will now report on the subjugations.
**[09:30] Josef**
Yes.
**[09:32] Josef**
A few days ago,
**[09:34] Josef**
the Third Order completed
another subjugation with the Holy Saint.
**[09:38] Josef**
With this, all known miasma swamps
have been eradicated.
**[09:43] Josef**
We are now scouting regions
that have not been inspected.
**[09:46] Siegfried**
Excellent work.
**[09:49] Siegfried**
Continue as you have.
**[09:50] Josef**
Yes, sire!
**[09:52] Dominic**
And that concludes our agenda
for today's cabinet meeting.
**[09:56] Dominic**
Will that be all?
**[09:58] Siegfried**
Yes, let's adjourn.
**[10:05] Siegfried**
We're done sooner than I expected.
**[10:07] Dominic**
Indeed, we're wrapping before noon.
**[10:10] Dominic**
As all morning cabinet meetings should!
**[10:16] Dominic**
Er, this is also thanks to the Holy Saint...
**[10:19] Dominic**
I've received reports that the monster
population continues to decline.
**[10:23] Siegfried**
Yes, the end of this endeavor
is finally in sight.
**[10:27] Siegfried**
Now, we must prepare for the future.
**[10:30] Dominic**
By that, you mean...
**[10:33] Siegfried**
Lady Sei's future.
**[10:54] Marquis Ashley**
Good afternoon, Lord Hawke.
Has the meeting concluded?
**[10:58] Josef**
Good afternoon, Marquis Ashley.
**[11:01] Josef**
The meeting adjourned without issue.
**[11:04] Josef**
Are you meeting with His Majesty after this?
**[11:06] Marquis Ashley**
Yes, I received a summons.
**[11:15] Marquis Ashley**
I imagine it is in regard to
the engagement of the Holy Saint.
**[11:19] Marquis Ashley**
Was that not mentioned during the meeting?
**[11:22] Josef**
Yes, it was.
**[11:23] Marquis Ashley**
What is your youngest brother going to do?
**[11:26] Josef**
What do you mean?
**[11:28] Marquis Ashley**
Is your family going to nominate him
as a suitor for the Holy Saint?
**[11:33] Josef**
I cannot say anything on the matter.
**[11:35] Marquis**
If that's the case, perhaps the Drewes
**[11:37] Marquis**
or the Valdecs will nominate a suitor.
**[11:42] Josef**
We have no real control over the situation.
**[11:45] Josef**
The final decision will lie
with the Holy Saint herself.
**[11:49] Marquis Ashley**
I see.
**[11:50] Marquis Ashley**
Well, I must be off. My apologies
for taking up your time.
**[11:55] Josef**
No, my apologies for keeping you
from your appointment.
**[12:00] Marquis Ashley**
Personally, I wouldn't mind
if it were Commander Hawke.
**[12:20] Erhart**
A marriage interview?
**[12:21] Josef**
That's right.
**[12:23] Erhart**
I was wondering why you
gathered us all here.
**[12:27] Erhart**
I'll pass.
**[12:28] Albert**
I as well. I don't intend to have
others arrange things for me.
**[12:33] Josef**
Just listen.
**[12:35] Josef**
It's someone you should know.
**[12:38] Josef**
Lady Sei Takanashi. Aren't you both familiar?
**[12:41] Albert**
Of course we are.
**[12:43] Albert**
There's been talk of arranging
a marriage for Sei?
**[12:46] Josef**
Yes, it came up at today's cabinet meeting.
**[12:50] Josef**
The plan is only in its infancy.
**[12:52] Josef**
The royal palace merely mentioned it.
**[12:54] Albert**
I see...
**[12:56] Josef**
However, various families are
already beginning to make a move.
**[13:02] Josef**
In order to keep them from getting ideas,
**[13:05] Josef**
I was thinking of nominating
a suitor from our family.
**[13:11] Josef**
Luckily, we have two bachelors in the house.
**[13:15] Josef**
And both of you happen
to know the bride-to-be.
**[13:19] Josef**
However, only one of you can do this.
**[13:21] Josef**
The other families will stop us
from nominating you both.
**[13:28] Josef**
So, which one of you would like
to be put forward?
**[13:33] Erhart**
I don't mind either way.
**[13:35] Erhart**
I've worked with her on multiple occasions.
**[13:38] Erhart**
She is diligent and well-educated.
**[13:40] Erhart**
She is neither arrogant nor flirtatious.
**[13:43] Erhart**
I wouldn't mind marrying someone like her.
**[13:49] Erhart**
However, I'm aware
that she and Albert are close.
**[13:52] Erhart**
I believe he'd make a much
better candidate from our family.
**[13:58] Josef**
I understand.
**[13:59] Josef**
Let me ask just to be sure.
Are you all right with that, Albert?
**[14:11] Albert**
Yes. I'll gladly do it.
**[14:14] Josef**
According to what I've heard,
Albert definitely has an advantage.
**[14:18] Josef**
Yet even so, we do not know how
this will transpire until it's set in stone.
**[14:22] Josef**
What do you think of Grand Magus Drewes?
**[14:24] Josef**
I heard he and the Saint—
**[14:26] Erhart**
Impossible.
**[14:28] Erhart**
That man has no interest in human beings.
**[14:32] Erhart**
He's a magic maniac who'd exhaust even
a Holy Saint's power just for the sake of it.
**[14:37] Erhart**
He is an overbearing demon
who has no regard for people.
**[14:40] Erhart**
He cannot hold a conversation
if it doesn't concern magic.
**[14:43] Erhart**
No, it's difficult to say even
talking to him about that
**[14:45] Erhart**
constitutes a conversation.
**[14:46] Erhart**
He gets to speaking at incredible speed
when it comes to discourse on spellcraft.
**[14:50] Albert**
You're also talking quite fast, Brother...
**[14:53] Josef**
Okay, I understand that you respect
the Grand Magus very much...
**[14:58] Josef**
Don't make such an unhappy face.
**[15:01] Josef**
Is it safe to say Grand Magus Drewes is only
interested in the Holy Saint's magic?
**[15:07] Erhart**
I would say so.
At least, as far as I can tell.
**[15:11] Josef**
And do you agree, Albert?
**[15:13] Albert**
I do... believe so.
**[15:16] Josef**
I see.
**[15:18] Josef**
Still, we don't know what
the Drewes family is thinking.
**[15:21] Erhart**
Considering his position...
**[15:33] Johan**
Brother?
**[15:34] Lorant**
Going out at this hour?
**[15:38] Johan**
Well, yes.
**[15:39] Johan**
A subordinate of mine is still
working at the facility.
**[15:42] Lorant**
A subordinate, hmm?
**[15:43] Lorant**
Are you talking about the Holy Saint?
**[15:45] Lorant**
You certainly look after her.
**[15:47] Johan**
In part...
**[15:49] Johan**
She holds a very special position, after all.
**[15:52] Lorant**
She does indeed.
**[15:53] Lorant**
And it's only going to grow
to be more special.
**[15:58] Lorant**
There's murmuring about finding
someone to marry the Holy Saint.
**[16:03] Johan**
Talk of marriage, huh?
**[16:05] Lorant**
Yes. Various families are moving
to nominate a suitor.
**[16:09] Lorant**
Our most promising option is you, Johan.
**[16:12] Johan**
And what exactly are you planning
to do about that?
**[16:15] Lorant**
Naturally, we'll submit
your background information
**[16:18] Lorant**
and portrait to the royal palace.
**[16:22] Lorant**
Though, in your case,
a portrait may not be necessary.
**[16:25] Johan**
I refuse. Please retract me as a suitor.
**[16:29] Lorant**
How cold after I've done so much to help you.
**[16:33] Lorant**
Don't you intend to pay your brother back?
**[16:35] Johan**
That's an entirely separate matter.
**[16:38] Lorant**
Not necessarily.
**[16:39] Lorant**
Putting me at ease by finally settling down
is a great way to repay me.
**[16:44] Lorant**
You're past the age where
playing around is acceptable.
**[16:47] Johan**
I can't really argue with that.
**[16:49] Lorant**
Right?
**[16:50] Lorant**
So I'd like to suggest you take
the Holy Saint for a wife.
**[16:56] Johan**
Do you want to cross the Hawke family?
**[16:59] Lorant**
I don't.
**[17:00] Johan**
Then please give this up.
**[17:03] Johan**
I also don't want to get in the way
of a friend's romance.
**[17:06] Lorant**
I see. I thought it was a good opportunity.
**[17:18] Johan**
Take me to the Medicinal
Flora Research Institute.
**[17:33] Johan**
Marriage, huh?
**[17:36] Johan**
* When I first met her, I felt like a problem*
* child had been dropped into my lap.*
**[17:43] Johan**
*It was one thing after another...*
**[17:46] Johan**
* You take your eyes off her for a second*
* and something else crops up.*
**[17:50] Johan**
* So before I knew it,*
* she was always on my mind...*
**[17:55] Johan**
*That's all it is.*
**[18:09] Sei**
I've never really thought about marriage.
**[18:14] Sei**
I guess I have to consider this seriously...
**[18:16] Johan**
You're still here?
**[18:19] Sei**
Director.
**[18:30] Sei**
I keep mulling over some things.
**[18:34] Johan**
Like getting engaged?
**[18:36] Sei**
How did you know?!
**[18:38] Johan**
It's become a hot topic in the royal palace.
**[18:41] Johan**
People are thinking of the Holy Saint's
future once she's completed her mission.
**[18:45] Sei**
I knew it...
**[18:49] Johan**
You still don't want to get married?
**[18:54] Sei**
It's not that I'm *not* interested at all.
**[18:57] Sei**
I've just never given it much thought.
**[19:00] Sei**
I'm really happy with my life right now.
**[19:03] Sei**
Work is rewarding, I get to enjoy my hobbies,
**[19:07] Sei**
and I'm surrounded by kind people...
**[19:11] Sei**
So the idea of getting engaged
and married makes me nervous.
**[19:19] Johan**
So you don't want the way
things are now to change?
**[19:23] Sei**
Yeah... I guess that's it.
**[19:26] Sei**
I'm really not sure, though.
**[19:32] Johan**
Then do you want to marry me?
**[19:35] Sei**
Huh?
**[19:39] Sei**
What are you saying?
**[19:41] Johan**
I'm just kidding.
**[19:43] Johan**
Well, a fake engagement isn't a bad idea.
**[19:48] Johan**
You could keep living as you are
and spare yourself the trouble of suitors.
**[19:52] Johan**
My family would stop
giving me a hard time too.
**[19:56] Johan**
I just came from a nagging myself.
**[19:59] Sei**
Oh.
**[20:00] Sei**
That kind of joke isn't funny.
**[20:02] Sei**
It's sexual harassment. I'll sue you.
**[20:05] Johan**
Sorry, sorry,
**[20:06] Johan**
I just can't help teasing you.
**[20:09] Johan**
You, who only ever thinks
about work and medicinal plants,
**[20:12] Johan**
is considering getting married.
**[20:15] Johan**
I'm getting a little choked up.
**[20:18] Sei**
Director, sometimes you sound
like you're my dad or something.
**[20:22] Johan**
At least think of me as an older brother...
**[20:27] Johan**
Well, I've said what I needed to
as your guardian in this world.
**[20:33] Johan**
Mull it over to your heart's content.
**[20:35] Johan**
Your feelings are what matter most here.
**[20:38] Sei**
Director...
**[20:42] Sei**
Thank you so much.
**[20:47] Johan**
One last thing...
**[20:49] Johan**
His feelings are important too.
**[20:55] Sei**
His feelings...?
**[21:27] Messenger**
A miasma swamp was
discovered in the Hawke Domain.
**[21:31] Messenger**
Margrave Hawke has requested
that knights be dispatched.
**[21:35] Dominic**
Good work. You're dismissed.
**[21:38] Messenger**
Yes!
**[21:42] Dominic**
Your Majesty, what shall we do?
**[21:55] Siegfried**
At least during my reign,
**[21:58] Siegfried**
this may be Lady Sei's last mission
as the Holy Saint...

**[00:00] Sei**
* The Kingdom of Salutania was threatened*
* by a sudden increase in monsters.*
**[00:06] Sei**
* Because of that threat, they performed*
* the Saint Summoning Ritual.*
**[00:11] Sei**
*Long ago, when there were no Holy Saints,*
**[00:13] Sei**
* a savior from another world*
* once banished the darkness.*
**[00:18] Sei**
*At least, that's what they say.*
**[00:20] Sei**
* However, two holy maidens*
* were summoned at once.*
**[00:24] Sei**
*In the end, I was casually abandoned.*
**[00:28] Sei**
* Well, I was a little like,*
* "What?" at the time, but...*
**[00:32] Sei**
*That was a different issue.*
**[00:34] Sei**
* The unfortunate event led*
* to fortunate results.*
**[00:37] Sei**
*I was lucky enough to meet wonderful people*
**[00:41] Sei**
* and spend my days peacefully*
* surrounded by the warmth of others.*
**[00:44] Sei**
*Oh, I guess the days weren't *all* peaceful...*
**[00:49] Sei**
* Anyway, a lot of things happened,*
* and I ended up being the true Holy Saint.*
**[00:56] Sei**
*After that, I learned magic...*
**[00:58] Sei**
* And I used the Holy Saint powers*
* that I don't really understand.*
**[01:04] Sei**
* I went around the kingdom*
* to purify miasma swamps,*
**[01:07] Sei**
*which are the source of the monsters.*
**[01:11] Sei**
*I just want the people I've met*
**[01:14] Sei**
* to continue living their lives*
* with smiles on their faces.*
**[01:17] Sei**
* That's the reason I've always*
* done all that I could.*
**[01:22] Sei**
* That's why I've never considered how long*
* I'd have to fulfill my duties as a Saint.*
**[01:55] Sei**
The air feels so refreshing.
**[01:57] Albert**
Sei.
**[02:01] Sei**
Commander Hawke.
**[02:02] Albert**
I'm sure that traveling to the
fringes of the kingdom was tiring.
**[02:06] Sei**
Not at all!
**[02:08] Sei**
The scenery all around us
is so beautiful. How can I be tired?
**[02:13] Albert**
I see. I'm happy that you like the scenery.
**[02:18] Albert**
The others are preparing some tea.
**[02:21] Albert**
Let's go warm up.
**[02:23] Sei**
Yes.
**[02:24] Wolff**
Commander! Will this area work?
**[02:40] Sei; Internal**
*This is the Hawke Domain.*
**[02:42] Sei; Internal**
*The commander's hometown...*
***SIGN*** "Frontier"
**[04:27] Helmut**
Thank you for coming
to such a remote region, Holy Saint.
**[04:33] Helmut**
I am the head of the family, Helmut Hawke.
**[04:35] Claudia**
I am his wife, Claudia.
**[04:39] Sei**
Nice to meet you. My name is Sei Takanashi.
**[04:43] Sei; Internal**
*They're the commander's parents.*
**[04:45] Sei; Internal**
*I feel really nervous for some reason.*
**[04:48] Helmut**
Grand Magus Drewes, I am embarrassed
for making you come out this far.
**[04:53] Yuri**
No, think nothing of it.
**[04:56] Yuri**
It is my duty to protect the kingdom.
**[04:59] Helmut**
How promising.
**[05:01] Helmut**
The stories of your contributions have
even reached the fringes of the kingdom.
**[05:06] Helmut**
We are very much obliged
to you for your visit here.
**[05:11] Sei; Internal**
* Their hair and eye colors*
* are exactly the same.*
**[05:15] Sei; Internal**
* But his facial features*
* are more like his mom's...*
**[05:18] Helmut**
Commander Hawke, thank you
for your speedy march here.
**[05:23] Albert**
Thank you very much
for your praise, Margrave.
**[05:27] Sei; Internal**
*They're so formal to each other!*
**[05:40] Helmut**
Welcome home.
**[05:42] Albert**
I'm home.
**[06:03] Albert**
My apologies.
**[06:05] Albert**
My mother has always liked to go
all-out when we have guests.
**[06:15] Claudia**
Isn't everyone departing tomorrow morning?
**[06:19] Claudia**
Please allow us to show you our
utmost hospitality this evening.
**[06:26] Sei**
It looks delicious!
**[06:32] Sei; Internal**
*Delicious!*
**[06:33] Sei; Internal**
*It's all so movingly delicious!*
**[06:36] Sei; Internal**
* I can't stop eating the gourmet*
* delights of the Hawke Region!*
**[06:38] Claudia**
Does it suit your tastes?
**[06:40] Sei**
Yes, very much so.
**[06:42] Sei**
You use a lot of cheese.
**[06:44] Claudia**
Yes, our region is famous
for the production of cheese.
**[06:50] Yuri**
The wine is also exquisitely rich and mellow.
**[06:54] Claudia**
That is also made in our region.
**[06:57] Helmut**
We would love our guests from the royal palace
**[06:59] Helmut**
to take in the sights of our
region at their leisure.
**[07:03] Yuri**
Yes, we would love to if time permits.
**[07:05] Claudia**
The lake in the north is famous
for its scenic beauty.
**[07:09] Claudia**
There is even a hot spring near its vicinity.
**[07:12] Sei**
Hot springs!
**[07:17] Claudia**
Are you interested in hot springs?
**[07:19] Sei**
Um, ah, yes...
**[07:21] Sei**
We had them in back home, too,
but I didn't really have time to go.
**[07:25] Sei**
I had always wanted to go to one.
**[07:27] Claudia**
Is that so?
**[07:29] Claudia**
We own a villa in a town near the hot spring.
**[07:33] Claudia**
Please feel free to stay there.
**[07:36] Sei**
Is that really all right?
**[07:37] Claudia**
Of course.
**[07:38] Albert**
We'll have to stay a few days after
the subjugation for investigations.
**[07:43] Albert**
I would love to show you
around during that time, Sei.
**[07:47] Sei**
Oh, thank you very much.
**[08:04] Sei; Internal**
*I'm so tired.*
**[08:06] Sei; Internal**
*The food was delicious,*
**[08:08] Sei; Internal**
* and the dinner was very enjoyable thanks to*
* the commander and the Grand Magus,*
**[08:15] Sei; Internal**
*but I feel so exhausted.*
**[08:17] Sei; Internal**
* This must be backlash*
* from meeting "the parents."*
**[08:22] Sei; Internal**
*I want to recover with some potions.*
**[08:24] Albert**
Sei...
**[08:26] Sei**
Commander Hawke?
**[08:28] Albert**
I wanted to escort you to your room,
but you were already gone.
**[08:33] Albert**
I was worried.
**[08:34] Sei**
I-I'm sorry, I was a little tired.
**[08:38] Albert**
It was an exceptionally long journey.
**[08:40] Albert**
Even so, you still attended the dinner...
**[08:44] Albert**
Thank you.
**[08:46] Sei**
N-No, it was very enjoyable and delicious.
**[08:50] Sei**
It cheered me up quite a bit.
**[08:52] Albert**
I see.
**[09:05] Albert**
We're heading out a little early tomorrow.
I hope you have a restful evening.
**[09:09] Sei**
Thank you very much.
**[09:11] Albert**
Well then, good night.
**[09:13] Sei**
Good night.
**[09:46] (Flashback) Sei**
A mine?
**[09:49] (Flashback) Helmut**
Yes. The miners who work there
have reported monster sightings.
**[09:55] (Flashback) Helmut**
The numbers reported continue
to increase by the day.
**[09:57] (Flashback) Helmut**
I worry that soon...
**[09:58] (Flashback) Yuri**
Then the miasma swamp
is probably near that area.
**[10:01] (Flashback) Albert**
Yes, it's highly likely.
**[10:04] (Flashback) Albert**
Margrave, we will leave early
tomorrow morning to go to that mine.
**[10:11] (Flashback) Helmut**
I see.
**[10:12] (Flashback) Helmut**
There's a temporary settlement near
the foot of the mountain for the miners.
**[10:16] (Flashback) Helmut**
I would suggest heading there first.
**[10:19] (Flashback) Helmut**
It seems you've become quite reliable, Al.
**[10:43] Wolff**
What a strange atmosphere.
**[10:45] Mob Knight A**
Is no one here?
**[10:48] Sei**
Is everyone out working?
**[10:50] Albert**
No, I heard that the mine had been
sealed off due to the monster problem.
**[10:59] Mob Knight B**
What was that just now?
**[11:04] Yuri**
Looks like something happened!
**[11:08] Sei; Internal**
* I've never seen someone get so excited*
* about a scream.*
**[11:26] Yuri**
Ground Spear!
**[11:42] Sei**
Are you hurt?
**[11:43] Miner B**
N-No, I'm okay...
**[11:45] Miner A**
Who're you guys?
**[11:47] Albert**
We're the subjugation unit
dispatched by the royal palace.
**[11:49] Albert**
You'll be all right now!
**[11:59] Miner C**
We're saved!
**[12:01] Miner D**
Thank you very much, sir knights!
**[12:10] Mob Knight A**
Make sure to set it up properly over there!
**[12:12] Mob Knight B**
Leave it to me!
**[12:17] Albert**
I'd heard that monsters appeared near the mine,
**[12:20] Albert**
but they've even attacked
the settlement in the foothills?
**[12:24] Administrator**
The attack this time was not too bad.
**[12:27] Administrator**
The situation in the mine is outrageous.
**[12:30] Administrator**
Monsters originally appeared
from time to time,
**[12:33] Administrator**
but the margrave and his soldiers
always managed to clear them out.
**[12:37] Administrator**
But lately...
**[12:39] Administrator**
The number of monsters has grown
each day, until now it's unmanageable.
**[12:44] Albert**
So you asked us for help.
**[12:46] Administrator**
Now, monsters we've never seen
before have started to appear.
**[12:52] Albert**
Monsters you've never seen before?
**[12:54] Administrator**
Y-Yes.
**[12:56] Administrator**
We've only seen living monsters, but...
**[12:59] Administrator**
That's... Well...
**[13:04] Administrator**
They're monsters that aren't alive.
**[13:07] Yuri**
Undead.
**[13:09] Sei**
Huh?!
**[13:11] Sei; Internal**
*Undead? Like the ones in video games?!*
**[13:15] Yuri**
Either way, the mining has been put on hold.
**[13:18] Yuri**
It will be safer if everyone
evacuates this area.
**[13:23] Yuri**
If you're here, we can't go all-out.
**[13:25] Sei; Internal**
*I think I heard him mumble something...*
**[13:27] Administrator**
We'd all love to do that,
**[13:30] Administrator**
but there are heavily injured people here
that we can't easily move.
**[13:36] Sei**
Leave them to me.
I'll take care of them.
**[13:39] Albert**
We will tend to the injured,
increase the defenses of the settlement,
**[13:42] Albert**
and secure a safe evacuation route.
**[13:45] Administrator**
You would do all that?
Thank you very much!
**[13:50] Albert**
We'll move out first thing in the morning.
**[13:53] Administrator**
I understand.
**[13:54] Administrator**
But the path to the mine is already
in shambles from fighting with the monsters.
**[13:59] Administrator**
There is a small path
that we used to evacuate.
**[14:04] Administrator**
It's not much, but please allow us
to have someone lead you to that path.
**[14:09] Albert**
I appreciate it.
**[14:14] Yuri**
Oh, faster than I expected.
**[14:22] Sei**
Huh?
**[14:23] Mob Knights**
Thank you for your hard work, Lady Sei!
**[14:25] Mob Knights**
Lady Sei! Lady Sei!
**[14:29] Sei; Internal**
*There are more knights?*
**[14:35] Sei**
How did this happen?
**[14:36] Wolff**
They all want to pay you back, Sei.
**[14:39] Knight A**
That's why there's always a ton of volunteers
for subjugation and rescue missions.
**[14:45] Wolff**
Well, I understand how they feel.
**[14:47] Knight B**
Yeah, and they say this subjugation
expedition shouldn't be too long.
**[14:51] Sei**
Huh?
**[14:52] Knight A**
Everyone here has been helped
by you at one time or another.
**[14:56] Knight A**
They want to take this chance
to pay you back.
**[14:58] Knight C**
Help you while they still can.
**[15:01] Sei**
Huh? Um, does that mean the miasma
swamp expeditions are almost over?
**[15:07] Knight A**
Well, we don't know for sure, but...
**[15:10] Knight A**
Aren't they?
**[15:11] Knight B**
The people in the royal palace
have been saying so.
**[15:14] Sei**
I see...
**[15:17] Sei; Internal**
*It doesn't feel real.*
**[15:21] Knight A**
Isn't it true that all the regions except
this one have decreased in monsters?
**[15:27] Knight B**
All thanks to Sei, right?
**[15:29] Knight C**
For sure.
**[15:30] Knight C**
It's because Sei went all over the place
to purify the miasma swamps.
**[15:34] Wolff**
It feels kind of weird saying it
at this point, but...
**[15:36] Wolff**
Sei, thank you so much.
**[15:46] Albert**
I'm glad the reinforcements came in time.
**[15:49] Albert**
We can leave the defense
and evacuation to them
**[15:53] Albert**
and take our current team to the mine.
**[15:56] Yuri**
That's right.
**[15:57] Yuri**
It's practically a certainty
that the miasma swamp is there.
**[16:03] Yuri**
Lady Sei?
**[16:06] Sei**
Oh, I'm sorry.
**[16:08] Yuri**
Are you all right?
**[16:13] Sei**
Um, is this the last expedition
to purify miasma swamps?
**[16:21] Yuri**
Is that a problem?
**[16:23] Sei**
Of course not!
**[16:24] Sei**
That's not it.
**[16:26] Sei**
Just, um...
**[16:29] Sei**
It doesn't really feel like the end.
**[16:33] Sei**
I've never really thought
about things deeply until now.
**[16:37] Sei**
Well, that's not true. But I helped
because the kingdom wanted me to,
**[16:42] Sei**
and I thought it'd put
the people here at ease, and...
**[16:46] Sei**
That's all, so...
**[16:48] Sei**
I didn't really imagine a beginning
and an ending for it all.
**[16:54] Sei**
I'm a little taken aback
that there'll be an end to this.
**[17:04] Yuri**
It is our first time dealing with the
growing miasma and the Holy Saint,
**[17:08] Yuri**
so we cannot be sure ourselves.
**[17:12] Yuri**
However, according to the historical
records of the Holy Saint
**[17:15] Yuri**
and what we've seen
while traveling with you...
**[17:20] Yuri**
His Majesty and I believe that the
miasma swamp in the Hawke Region
**[17:24] Yuri**
is probably the last one.
**[17:29] Yuri**
Our research has shown that most monsters
are born from these miasma swamps.
**[17:35] Yuri**
And these swamps have
a certain area of effect.
**[17:40] Yuri**
Once these swamps
are purified by the Holy Saint,
**[17:43] Yuri**
the monsters affected by the swamp
are completely annihilated.
**[17:47] Yuri**
We have not seen any monsters
**[17:50] Yuri**
other than the ones that originally inhabited
the area since a purification.
**[17:54] Yuri**
Let's calculate this according
to the regions of our kingdom.
**[17:57] Yuri**
If we mark each miasma swamp
that we found and purified...
**[18:01] Yuri**
And if we calculate each
of their areas of effect...
**[18:09] Yuri**
The only area left is the Hawke Region.
**[18:14] Sei; Internal**
*The Grand Magus's drawings are really cute.*
**[18:18] Yuri**
So first, we need to find the swamp
that is increasing monsters in this area.
**[18:23] Yuri**
Then we purify it.
**[18:25] Yuri**
What happens afterwards...
**[18:26] Yuri**
we can think about when the time comes.
**[18:38] Sei**
The end, huh?
**[18:43] Guard Team**
Lady Sei! We wish you success!
**[18:45] Guard Team**
Leave everything here to us!
**[18:48] Sei**
Th-Thank you very much.
**[18:51] Yuri**
Lady Sei, it's time to go!
**[18:53] Sei**
Oh! Yes!
**[18:55] See**
Okay, everyone. See you at the royal palace.
**[18:59] Miner**
Hello.
**[19:01] Miner**
I'll guide all of you to the mine.
**[19:05] Albert**
Thank you. We appreciate your cooperation.
**[19:22] Albert**
Wait.
**[19:24] Miner**
Yes?
**[19:25] Yuri**
Something is coming.
**[19:27] Albert**
Everyone in position!
**[19:30] Knights**
Yes!
**[19:35] Wolff**
The monsters from yesterday!
**[19:46] Yuri**
Ground Spear!
**[20:00] Sei**
Huh?
**[20:16] Wolff**
Wha?!
**[20:21] Knight A**
N-No way...
**[20:23] Knight B**
What's going on?
**[20:25] Knight C**
Why won't they die?!
**[20:27] Albert**
Because they're already dead!
**[20:33] Albert**
Undead...
**[20:35] Albert**
How troublesome.
**[20:36] Albert**
I can't believe such monsters
are appearing, too.
**[20:43] Mob Mage**
As expected of the Grand Magus!
**[20:45] Yuri**
It's too early to let your guard down.
**[20:48] Wolff**
New monsters?!
**[20:49] Mob mage**
The howl just now!
**[20:51] Knight B**
It called allies!
**[20:52] Albert**
Lord Drewes, can you still fight?
**[20:55] Yuri**
Do I have a choice in a situation like this?
**[20:58] Albert**
Good point. Let's go!
**[21:13] Knight A**
What the heck is that?!
**[21:16] Knight B**
It's way too huge...
**[21:18] Knight B**
It's way bigger than a salamander...
**[21:21] Knight C**
I've never seen anything like it.
**[21:22] Knight C**
What are we going to do now?
**[21:47] Yuri**
Looks like we have no choice
but to go forth and find out.

***SIGN*** "Final Act"
**[02:22] Sei**
The boar-like monster earlier...
**[02:26] Sei**
Do you think it was created
by the miasma swamp in the mine?
**[02:30] Albert**
Who knows?
**[02:31] Albert**
All I can say is that there weren't many
monsters here before the miasma spread.
**[02:39] Sei**
Really?
**[02:42] Sei**
But that boar looked rather large...
**[02:46] Albert**
While I cannot be certain,
for a monster of that size to appear...
**[02:51] Albert**
There must be something different
about this miasma swamp.
**[02:56] Wolff**
It'll be fine, Commander.
**[02:59] Knight A**
That's right.
**[03:00] Knight A**
We have the invincible Holy Saint with us.
**[03:03] Knight B**
If anything happens, we'll use ourselves
as a shield to protect her.
**[03:09] Wolff**
As long as Sei is safe,
she can fix this, right?
**[03:14] Knight A/B**
Yeah!
**[03:19] Albert**
I will be your shield as well.
**[03:23] Yuri**
Count me in too.
**[03:25] Yuri**
There's a new spell I would like to try.
**[03:28] Yuri**
I'm thrilled we have such a large target.
**[03:32] Yuri**
Now, let's hurry on!
**[03:34] Knights**
Yeah!
**[03:44] Miner**
It's right up ahead.
**[03:45] Miner**
Just follow this path to the mine entrance.
**[03:48] Albert**
Understood. Thank you.
**[03:51] Miner**
Please be careful.
**[04:14] Albert**
Are you all right?
**[04:15] Sei**
Oh, sorry...
**[04:17] Yuri**
There are bats here.
**[04:19] Yuri**
Looks like the mine has fallen into disrepair.
**[04:23] Yuri**
Do be mindful of your surroundings.
**[04:25] Sei**
Right.
**[04:31] Sei**
*What's that smell?*
**[04:34] Sei**
*Wait, is it just me?*
**[04:42] Yuri**
So they've finally appeared.
**[04:45] Albert**
Fall back a bit if this gets rough.
**[05:00] Albert**
Sei, stay in the rear.
**[05:03] Albert**
Here they come!
**[05:16] Yuri**
The undead have already perished once.
**[05:20] Yuri**
Keep your guard up even
after you think they're dead.
**[05:23] Knights**
Yes!
**[05:27] Yuri**
They aren't as formidable as expected.
**[05:30] Sei**
U-Um...
**[05:33] Sei**
It kinda stinks.
**[05:35] Yuri**
Yes, well, they *are* rotting.
**[05:38] Sei**
It really reeks...
**[05:40] Yuri**
I'm afraid complaining won't do much.
**[05:42] Sei**
Is it going to smell like this the whole way?
**[05:46] Yuri**
As you can see, there isn't
much ventilation here.
**[05:50] Yuri**
It may get worse as we approach the swamp,
**[05:53] Yuri**
but I doubt it will get better.
**[05:59] Albert**
Use this if you'd like.
**[06:01] Albert**
Holding it to your mouth and nose
may make it easier to breathe.
**[06:04] Sei**
A-Are you sure?
**[06:06] Albert**
Of course.
**[06:07] Sei**
Th-Thank you very much...
**[06:13] Yuri**
Well, let's get a move on.
**[06:35] Albert**
The undead are increasing in number.
**[06:39] Yuri**
We must be getting closer to the swamp.
**[06:42] Wolff**
I don't know how much longer
we can hold out...
**[06:45] Yuri**
We've already made it this deep.
**[06:48] Yuri**
If we retreat, it will be
difficult to regain ground.
**[06:53] Albert**
I agree.
**[06:54] Sei**
U-Um...
**[06:57] Yuri**
Yes, what is it?
**[06:59] Sei**
We seem to have a lot of injured people.
**[07:02] Sei**
May I cast Area Heal?
**[07:05] Yuri**
Lady Sei...
**[07:06] Sei**
I know I'm supposed to conserve
as much as possible
**[07:10] Sei**
until we purify the swamp...
**[07:15] Sei**
But it'll be fine!
**[07:17] Sei**
I've been improving every day!
**[07:20] Sei**
My magic has increased
**[07:21] Sei**
and I should be able to use my
holy power twice in one day!
**[07:24] Sei**
*Not that I've actually done it before...*
**[07:29] Sei**
I feel terrible that you've protected
me all this way, so let me help how I can.
**[07:40] Yuri**
I understand, Lady Sei.
Please cast the spell.
**[07:44] Sei**
Okay!
**[07:51] Sei**
Area Heal.
**[08:30] Sei**
There are so many...
**[08:32] Yuri**
It'd be best to get Lady Sei
to the swamp's edge,
**[08:35] Yuri**
but it'd be nigh impossible
to protect her against such numbers...
**[08:42] Yuri**
Excuse me. May I perform a little experiment?
**[08:46] Sei**
An experiment?
**[08:48] Yuri**
Yes. I would like to see if I can
purify the miasma swamp myself.
**[08:54] Yuri**
And even if I can't, I'd like to see
what kind of effect I have on it.
**[08:59] Albert**
But there are so many monsters...
**[09:01] Albert**
It would be dangerous for us
to fight them without you.
**[09:06] Yuri**
Even so, it's worth the risk.
**[09:10] Yuri**
If someone other than Lady Sei
can neutralize the swamp,
**[09:13] Yuri**
there'll be no further need for her
to put herself at risk over them.
**[09:17] Yuri**
Won't that be safer for Lady Sei?
**[09:21] Yuri**
The opening attack will be enough.
**[09:24] Albert**
I understand. Just the opening attack.
**[09:28] Yuri**
Thank you kindly.
**[09:37] Yuri**
Now then, here I go.
**[09:42] Yuri**
Holy Arrow!
**[09:58] Yuri**
Well, it seems to be ineffective.
**[10:02] Yuri**
So let us be off!
**[10:04] Sei**
Wait!
**[10:13] Yuri**
Get ready, Lady Sei.
**[10:15] Sei**
Okay!
**[10:42] Albert**
As brilliant as ever. Wonderful work.
**[10:51] Knight C**
So that's what the Holy Saint can do!
**[10:54] Knight D**
What tremendous power!
**[10:56] Mage A**
And that was *after* using
a huge area-wide spell!
**[11:00] Mage B**
I couldn't believe my eyes.
**[11:02] Yuri**
I thought I'd finally created a spell that
would work against a miasma swamp...
**[11:07] Yuri**
But it was all over so quickly.
**[11:09] Sei**
* He sounds like he wishes*
* this would never end...*
**[11:13] Yuri**
Oh, I mean, it's not that I want
new miasma swamps to appear.
**[11:18] Sei**
*Really now?*
**[11:21] Albert**
Watch your step.
**[11:23] Sei**
I will. Thank you so much.
**[11:28] Sei**
Huh?
**[11:42] Albert**
Sei!
**[11:43] Wolff**
Commander!
**[11:50] Albert**
Sei?
**[11:51] Albert**
Sei!
**[12:09] Sei**
Ouch...
**[12:24] Sei**
Light.
**[12:27] Sei**
Guess I just have to see how far I can get.
**[12:31] Sei**
Oh, before that...
**[12:42] Sei**
Hate to boast, but my stuff is the best.
**[12:44] Sei**
I'm totally rejuvenated! Yup!
**[12:51] Albert**
My apologies. You really saved me.
**[12:53] Wolff**
I'm also sorry for acting without permission.
**[12:56] Albert**
No, you made the correct decision.
**[12:58] Yuri**
That's right.
**[13:00] Yuri**
In any case, what was that monster?
**[13:04] Yuri**
All the monsters within
a certain radius of the swamp
**[13:07] Yuri**
have always been eliminated
with the purification before...
**[13:11] Yuri**
Yet undead are still coming after us.
**[13:15] Yuri**
Commander Hawke, this region has never
had a problem with undead before, correct?
**[13:20] Albert**
Yes.
**[13:23] Yuri**
So a monster that shouldn't be here
lives on in the radius of the swamp.
**[13:28] Albert**
Don't tell me...
**[13:29] Yuri**
I can't say for sure yet. Our utmost priority
is to reconvene with Lady Sei right now.
**[13:35] Yuri**
While her holy powers are formidable,
**[13:37] Yuri**
Lady Sei herself cannot
combat monsters directly.
**[13:41] Albert**
I know.
**[13:42] Yuri**
We should hurry and find a way down.
**[13:46] Wolff**
All right! Let's go get Sei!
**[13:48] Knights**
Yeah!
**[14:00] Sei**
There aren't any paths leading upward.
**[14:03] Sei**
And I don't think it's wise
to go too far from where I fell...
**[14:08] Sei**
Everyone's probably looking for me.
**[14:17] Sei**
They'll find me, right?
**[14:24] Sei**
I'll get to see them again, won't I?
**[14:41] Sei**
* They laud me as the Holy Saint,*
* yet I'm always in need of protecting...*
**[14:46] Sei**
*I'm useless on my own.*
**[14:53] Sei**
*I'm hungry...*
**[15:12] Albert**
I feel like we've come down quite far.
**[15:16] Yuri**
We haven't seen anything in the way of clues.
**[15:21] Knights**
Lady Sei! Where are you?
**[15:23] Knights**
Lady Sei!
**[15:24] Knights**
Lady Sei!
**[15:28] Yuri**
What is it?
**[15:31] Albert**
A breeze.
**[15:33] Yuri**
Huh?
**[15:37] Sei**
A breeze?
**[15:38] Sei**
It's coming from this way.
**[15:41] Sei**
Maybe it leads to an exit!
**[15:46] Albert**
Sei! Where are you?!
**[15:52] Albert**
Sei!
**[15:57] Albert**
Sei!
**[16:00] Sei**
Commander Hawke?
**[16:02] Sei**
Commander Hawke!
**[16:03] Albert**
Sei!
**[16:05] Sei**
Commander Hawke!
**[16:07] Albert**
Sei!
**[16:08] Sei**
Commander Hawke!
**[16:16] Albert**
Sei...
**[16:19] Sei**
Commander Hawke...
**[16:29] Albert**
Thank goodness!
**[16:31] Albert**
Thank goodness you're safe!
**[16:38] Wolff**
Commander!
**[16:44] Yuri**
Oh, what a relief.
**[16:45] Yuri**
Looks like you aren't hurt.
**[16:48] Sei**
I-I-I'm sorry for worrying everyone.
**[16:55] Yuri**
Now then... where are we?
**[17:54] Yuri**
An undead dragon?
**[18:00] Sei**
What in the world is that thing?
**[18:03] Yuri**
I see...
**[18:04] Yuri**
The reason the monsters weren't all destroyed
**[18:08] Yuri**
is because the main miasma swamp is here.
**[18:11] Sei**
Lord Drewes...
**[18:12] Yuri**
We'd like to get you closer
to that giant swamp, but...
**[18:18] Wolff**
Wh-What?
**[18:23] Albert**
This is...
**[18:30] Albert**
Ice Wall!
**[18:32] Yuri**
Fire Lance!
**[18:38] Yuri**
Holy Arrow!
**[18:44] Wolff**
It worked?
**[18:47] Yuri**
Lady Sei! Prepare the spell!
**[18:50] Sei**
R-Right!
**[18:57] Sei**
Lord Drewes!
**[18:58] Albert**
Sei!
**[19:00] Sei**
Reflection!
**[19:09] Albert**
Sei!
**[19:33] Albert**
Sei, the purification...
**[20:10] Yuri**
Fire Storm!
**[20:21] Yuri**
Lady Sei, it'll be fine. Stay calm.
**[20:25] Albert**
Don't worry. We'll absolutely protect you.

**[00:03] Knight**
That was incredible!
**[00:05] Mage**
That's our Holy Saint!
**[00:11] Albert**
Though the swamp has been purified,
**[00:13] Albert**
we need to continue monitoring it.
**[00:15] Albert**
I'd like us to stay here for a few days
to confirm the decrease in monsters.
**[00:19] Albert**
Wolff, take our unit to patrol the area.
**[00:23] Wolff**
Yes, sir!
**[00:24] Yuri**
In that case, I'll join them.
**[00:26] Albert**
I'd be much obliged for your help.
**[00:29] Yuri**
It's nothing.
**[00:35] Sei**
Um, what about me?
**[00:38] Albert**
You'll stay with me.
**[00:40] Sei**
U-Um...
**[00:42] Albert**
I don't want to be too far from you
after what happened.
**[00:46] Albert**
I couldn't stand it.
**[00:51] Sei**
*My heart can't stand* you *saying* that*!*
***SIGN*** "Longing"
**[02:35] Sei**
*At the same time...*
**[02:37] Sei**
*I feel bad waiting around doing nothing.*
**[02:48] Albert**
One last survey of the plants in the area?
**[02:52] Albert**
You really are enamored with your work.
**[02:55] Sei**
Well, I *am* a researcher at the
Medicinal Flora Research Institute.
**[02:59] Sei**
Sorry.
**[03:01] Albert**
No, I don't mind at all.
**[03:04] Albert**
Fret not. It is my duty to protect you.
**[03:07] Sei**
Even if it's your duty,
I still feel bad about it...
**[03:10] Albert**
Apologies. I did not choose my words well.
**[03:13] Albert**
It is not strictly about duty...
**[03:16] Albert**
I just want to be by your side.
**[03:19] Sei**
I-I see...
**[03:23] Sei**
O-Oh! Lilac!
**[03:32] Albert**
Is it a rare flower?
**[03:34] Sei**
Somewhat. It usually blooms
when it's a little warmer.
**[03:39] Albert**
I see.
**[03:43] Albert**
It has a very pleasing scent.
**[03:45] Sei**
Right?
**[03:46] Sei**
They say lilac has a relaxing effect.
**[03:50] Sei**
In the language of flowers, it means—
**[03:56] Albert**
What's wrong?
**[03:57] Sei**
O-Oh, nothing! P-P-Perfume!
**[03:59] Sei**
Yes, it's great to use as perfume!
**[04:02] Albert**
Perfume? That sounds nice.
**[04:05] Albert**
The smell is indeed very calming.
**[04:10] Sei**
*He wants to be by my side?*
**[04:13] Sei**
*But what do* I *want?*
**[04:16] Sei**
* I guess it'd be nice to get*
* a teeny-tiny bit closer to him...*
**[04:23] Sei**
Um, if it's all right with you,
could I make some for you as a present?
**[04:33] Albert**
I can't wait.
**[04:41] Wolff**
Commander!
**[04:44] Wolff**
I'm here to report.
**[04:46] Wolff**
We've completed
the designated monitoring period.
**[04:49] Wolff**
There have been no new
monster sightings in that time.
**[04:52] Albert**
I see. Excellent work.
**[04:55] Albert**
Then we shall prepare to withdraw.
**[04:57] Albert**
Pass the order down to all units.
**[04:59] Wolff**
Understood!
**[05:05] Helmut**
Welcome back.
**[05:07] Sei**
We've returned safely.
**[05:10] Helmut**
Please.
**[05:14] Claudia**
You must be tired from all
the travel on your mission.
**[05:17] Claudia**
We've prepared your rooms.
**[05:20] Claudia**
Please take your time recovering.
**[05:23] Sei**
Thank you very much.
**[05:24] Claudia**
We have arranged for a simple
banquet this evening.
**[05:29] Claudia**
You can look forward to it.
**[05:31] Albert**
Do you mean our customary one?
**[05:34] Claudia**
Yes, that's right.
**[05:35] Sei**
A customary banquet?
**[05:37] Albert**
The Hawke Domain always hosts
a banquet after a subjugation.
**[05:41] Albert**
Since it's to thank our troops,
**[05:44] Albert**
it's an open party where
status and rank don't matter.
**[05:47] Sei**
They don't?
**[05:49] Sei**
*Really?*
**[05:51] Albert**
What's wrong?
**[05:53] Sei**
It's just that, in my experience,
**[05:55] Sei**
status isn't wholly disregarded
at such events.
**[05:58] Albert**
Don't worry.
**[06:00] Albert**
It's much more casual
than a formal dinner party.
**[06:03] Claudia**
The food will be rather simple as well.
**[06:06] Claudia**
We'll serve game hunted in our lands
and dishes featuring our local cheese.
**[06:11] Sei**
*Like cheese fondue or raclette?!*
**[06:15] Sei**
I can't wait to have some!
**[06:22] Sei**
*Sorry. I get greedy when it comes to food.*
**[06:49] Sei**
*This really does seem informal.*
**[07:05] Yuri**
The food goes quite well with the wine.
**[07:09] Sei**
I know!
**[07:11] Albert**
I'm glad you're enjoying everything.
**[07:13] Handmaid**
I highly recommend these.
They're locally-made dried sausages.
**[07:21] Sei**
*It's salami! Salami!*
**[07:23] Handmaid**
There you go. Please enjoy.
**[07:26] Sei**
I think I will!
**[07:43] Albert**
Does it please your palate?
**[07:47] Sei**
What? O-Oh, yes!
**[07:49] Sei**
It's really good.
**[07:52] Albert**
We'll be here for a while longer.
**[07:55] Albert**
I'll ask them to serve it again.
**[07:56] Sei**
Thank you so much.
**[07:58] Handmaiden**
These sausages are sold in the town market.
**[08:02] Handmaiden**
Why not go see it if you're interested?
**[08:05] Albert**
Would you like to go, Sei?
**[08:08] Sei**
Would that be okay?
**[08:09] Albert**
Everyone is off tomorrow.
**[08:11] Albert**
You can't go alone,
but there's no issue if I go with you.
**[08:15] Sei**
*He's coming with me?*
**[08:18] Sei**
* So the commander*
* will escort me personally?*
**[08:21] Sei**
But doesn't everyone have the day to rest?
**[08:25] Sei**
You'd be working on your day off.
**[08:27] Sei**
As the commander, would you be able
to take a different day of instead?
**[08:31] Albert**
Not a problem.
**[08:34] Albert**
Er, wait. That's not right.
**[08:38] Sei**
*He can't, huh?*
**[08:40] Albert**
I want to go with you, Sei.
**[08:46] Albert**
May I?
**[08:56] Sei**
I wouldn't say no...
**[09:11] Sei**
How lively!
**[09:13] Albert**
This is the largest market in the area.
**[09:16] Albert**
The shop that sells those
sausages is farther down.
**[09:20] Albert**
Let's take our time to look
at other places on the way.
**[09:23] Sei**
Sure!
**[10:00] Sei**
Wow, these are...
**[10:01] Albert**
What is it?
**[10:02] Sei**
Aren't these cabbages?
**[10:04] Sei**
I haven't seen any in the royal capital.
**[10:06] Albert**
Oh, now that you mention it...
**[10:10] Shopkeep**
Are you from the capital, young lady?
**[10:12] Shopkeep**
I can't believe you recognized 'em.
**[10:15] Shopkeep**
These cabbages are only grown
around these parts.
**[10:18] Sei**
Um, I've had them before in the past.
**[10:21] Sei**
Stuffed cabbage rolls are delicious.
**[10:24] Shopkeep**
Exactly!
**[10:25] Shopkeep**
The leaves are really sturdy.
They're perfect for simmering.
**[10:29] Albert**
We'd have stuffed cabbage rolls
at home during winter.
**[10:32] Albert**
Have you made them before?
**[10:35] Sei**
No, I've never made them.
**[10:38] Sei**
Though I think I could if I tried.
**[10:41] Albert**
I see.
**[10:45] Sei**
U-Um...
**[10:47] Albert**
What is it?
**[10:52] Sei**
I suddenly feel like having stuffed
cabbage rolls after seeing these.
**[10:57] Sei**
May I borrow a kitchen to cook some?
**[11:03] Sei**
I really appreciate it.
**[11:04] Albert**
No, don't mention it. I wanted some myself.
**[11:09] Sei**
*Yeah, I'd rather see him happy than sad.*
**[11:14] Sei**
What's wrong?
**[11:15] Albert**
Well, I haven't eaten something new
you've made before Johan in a long time.
**[11:22] Sei**
Has it been that long?
**[11:23] Albert**
The last time was in Klausner's Domain.
**[11:26] Sei**
Oh, you're right.
**[11:28] Albert**
Since then, I always hear of your creations
from Johan's mouth first.
**[11:33] Albert**
The Japanese cuisine you made
last time was fascinating, but...
**[11:36] Sei**
*He's kind of cute.*
**[11:47] Proprietress**
Welcome!
**[11:48] Proprietress**
Oh, aren't you the young master
of the margrave's family?
**[11:53] Proprietress**
Thank you very much for coming!
**[12:00] Proprietress**
You've finally found a partner?
Congratulations!
**[12:03] Sei**
*Partner? Congratulations?*
**[12:06] Sei**
*Wait! No way!*
**[12:14] Albert**
No, she's someone I work with
in the royal capital.
**[12:19] Proprietress**
Oh my! Sounds like I jumped to conclusions.
**[12:23] Proprietress**
I hope I didn't offend.
**[12:25] Proprietress**
I'm very sorry, young lady.
**[12:28] Sei**
It's fine. I don't mind at all.
**[12:31] Proprietress**
How kind of you.
**[12:33] Proprietress**
So, what are you looking for today?
**[12:35] Sei**
I heard that you sell dried sausages here.
**[12:39] Proprietress**
Oh, if that's what you're after...
**[12:50] Albert**
And yet my heart is already set.
**[13:05] Helmut**
So these are Lady Takanashi's
stuffed cabbage rolls?
**[13:08] Sei**
Yes. They probably don't look much
different from what you usually eat.
**[13:14] Claudia**
They smell a little sweet.
**[13:17] Helmut**
Yes, but it's something I've smelled before.
**[13:20] Sei**
I stewed the rolls with bay leaves.
That's probably what you're smelling.
**[13:24] Helmut**
They say that bay leaves
can help treat joint pain.
**[13:29] Sei**
Indeed. It's a medicinal plant
that also can aid digestion.
**[13:34] Albert**
That must mean that we can
eat even more than usual.
**[13:39] Sei**
That's no reason to overeat.
**[13:51] Claudia**
Oh, goodness me.
**[13:56] Sei**
*This is a little embarrassing!*
**[14:10] Claudia**
That reminds me. You'll be staying here
for a time, won't you, Lady Takanashi?
**[14:15] Sei**
Yes, that is what I heard.
**[14:17] Claudia**
In that case, why not visit our villa?
**[14:21] Sei**
Your villa?
**[14:23] Claudia**
Yes. It's in a grove some way from here,
but it's by a lake with stunning scenery.
**[14:32] Claudia**
The villa also has a hot spring.
**[14:37] Claudia**
I heard that the mine
excursion was hard on you.
**[14:40] Claudia**
I thought you might enjoy relaxing
in the spring if you had time.
**[14:47] Sei**
Thank you so much!
**[15:08] Sei**
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow...
**[15:09] Albert**
Are you all right?
**[15:10] Sei**
Oh, I'm fine. Just feeling a bit stiff...
**[15:15] Albert**
My apologies.
**[15:16] Albert**
I had them slow down, but the
carriage is still rocking quite a bit.
**[15:21] Sei**
N-No, I've gotten used to carriage rides.
**[15:25] Sei**
* I'm just not used to how close*
* we're sitting...*
**[15:30] Albert**
It'll be a while yet
before we reach the villa.
**[15:32] Albert**
Let's take a break here.
**[15:40] Sei**
G-Good idea.
**[15:51] Wolff**
Eat up!
**[15:55] Sei**
Horses are nice.
**[15:59] Sei**
Does everyone who works at the
royal palace know how to ride one?
**[16:03] Albert**
Most folks do, yes.
**[16:05] Albert**
Almost everyone who aspires to work
at the palace learns to ride.
**[16:11] Sei**
*Does that mean that not just the director*
**[16:13] Sei**
*but even Jude and Aira know how?*
**[16:16] Sei**
*Wait, Jude can ride a horse?*
**[16:18] Sei**
**Jude *can? Seriously?*
**[16:20] Sei**
*I mean, I don't know how...*
**[16:23] Albert**
Sei?
**[16:24] Sei**
I'm sorry.
**[16:25] Sei**
I was just thinking it'd be good
to learn to ride a horse
**[16:29] Sei**
since I work at the palace too.
**[16:31] Albert**
Knowing how to ride a horse is convenient,
although I don't think you'd need to very often.
**[16:38] Sei**
It'd certainly be useful for traveling
between the Institute and the palace.
**[16:43] Albert**
I see. But if you did that,
I'd have fewer chances to escort you.
**[16:50] Sei**
That's...
**[16:56] Sei**
*He's teasing me!*
**[16:59] Sei**
Besides, I'm practically part of the military!
**[17:03] Sei**
I think it would be good to learn riding.
**[17:07] Albert**
Normal soldiers have to learn it, but...
**[17:11] Sei**
*I see. Holy Saints are special.*
**[17:14] Albert**
You won't be taking part in subjugations
as much going forward anyway.
**[17:22] Sei**
I guess you're right...
**[17:25] Sei**
*We've purified all the miasma swamps.*
**[17:28] Sei**
*Monsters are on the decline now too.*
**[17:30] Sei**
* I suppose I won't be seeing*
* the commander much anymore...*
**[17:38] Albert**
Nevertheless, it would be nice to go
on a long ride with you, Sei.
**[17:44] Sei**
A long ride?
**[17:45] Albert**
Yes. What do you think?
**[17:47] Albert**
There are some nice places around the capital.
**[17:50] Sei**
That sounds lovely!
**[17:51] Albert**
Then it's decided.
**[17:53] Albert**
I'll teach you how to ride
a horse when you have time.
**[17:56] Sei**
You'll teach me?
**[17:58] Albert**
As long as you don't mind.
**[18:00] Sei**
Not at all! I'm really looking forward to it.
**[18:22] Sei**
*My work as the Holy Saint is done.*
**[18:26] Sei**
*It was over so fast...*
**[18:29] Sei**
*Without purifications and subjugations,*
**[18:32] Sei**
*what is left for me to do?*
**[18:42] Liz**
*To be frank, your engagement.*
**[18:47] Sei**
Oh, yeah.
**[18:49] Sei**
Social events. I have to
participate in social events...
**[18:52] Sei**
I know, my kindred spirit.
I haven't forgotten.
**[18:59] Sei**
But, honestly, the idea of getting engaged
and then married doesn't feel real to me.
**[19:06] Sei**
I just want to enjoy these
fluttering feelings a little longer...
**[19:15] Sei**
I'm having so much fun right now.
**[19:19] Sei**
Okay!
**[19:20] Sei**
Let's not worry about troublesome things!
**[19:23] Sei**
Let's just think about fun stuff!
**[19:25] Sei**
So then, I'll continue my research as usual,
**[19:29] Sei**
but I'd like to spend
more time on my hobbies...
**[19:31] Sei**
I want to keep up tea parties
with Liz and Aira, too.
**[19:35] Sei**
Also...
**[19:40] Sei**
I'll have Commander Hawke
teach me how to ride a horse
**[19:43] Sei**
when he's free back in the capital.
**[19:45] Sei**
We'll go on long rides after I learn.
**[19:48] Sei**
I can make sandwiches
and we can have picnics.
**[19:51] Sei**
I'll make big ones stuffed
with herbed roast chicken.
**[19:56] Sei**
I wonder if he'd like that.
**[19:59] Sei**
And not just picnics. We could also...
**[20:04] Sei**
Also what?
**[20:08] Sei**
Huh? What should I do?!
**[20:10] Sei**
This is bad! This is definitely bad!
**[20:26] Sei**
Oh, I see.
**[20:29] Sei**
So this is what falling in love feels like...
**[22:11] Helmut**
Thank you for your incredible assistance.
**[22:14] Sei**
I-It was nothing.
I'm grateful for all your hospitality.
**[22:19] Claudia**
We'll be in the capital
during the social season.
**[22:23] Claudia**
Do come and see us.
**[22:26] Sei**
I certainly will.
**[22:28] Claudia**
Al, make sure to visit sometimes.
**[22:31] Albert**
Understood.
**[22:32] Albert**
Please contact me when you're in the capital.
**[22:36] Sei**
* Their affectionate family banter*
* makes me smile...*
**[22:43] Albert**
We'll be heading out now.
**[22:45] Claudia**
Until we meet again.
**[22:47] Helmut**
Truly, Lady Takanashi, thank you.
**[22:51] Helmut**
I cannot wait to see you again
in the royal capital.
**[22:55] Sei**
I feel the same way. Thank you so very much.
**[23:27] Sei**
* And so, my duties as the Holy Saint*
* came to an end for the time being.*

**[00:14] Marquis Drewes**
Please send this to the Royal Magi Assembly.
**[00:18] Butler**
With pleasure, sir.
**[00:23] Marquis Drewes**
I wonder if that boy will heed me.
**[00:27] Butler**
I cannot say...
**[00:30] Marquis Drewes**
He's an eccentric one, after all.
**[00:34] Marquis Drewes**
However, if all goes well,
**[00:37] Marquis Drewes**
we will become powerful enough
to stand against the Hawkes.

**[02:21] Siegfried**
It's finally over...
**[02:23] Dominic**
Yes, according to the reports
from the knights,
**[02:27] Dominic**
the monster population in our kingdom
has now returned to normal.
**[02:32] Siegfried**
This all seemed so long, yet so short.
**[02:35] Dominic**
I believe that is thanks to Lady Sei.
**[02:39] Siegfried**
Thus the duties of the Holy Saint
are concluded for the time being.
**[02:44] Dominic**
Making panaceas, researching medicinal
plants, and creating new recipes...
**[02:48] Dominic**
She has business in many areas.
**[02:50] Siegfried**
We performed the Saint-summoning ritual
in order to purify the miasma.
**[02:56] Siegfried**
We cannot force any duties
upon her beyond that.
**[03:00] Dominic**
That said, I believe Lady Sei herself
may be wanting of something to call a "mission."
**[03:11] Siegfried**
A mission, you say?
**[03:16] Siegfried**
Do you recall the time we went out
on a little boat to go fishing long ago?
**[03:23] Dominic**
That was back when you were
still just a prince.
**[03:26] Siegfried**
You said that you'd go fishing
all day long once you retired.
**[03:33] Dominic**
I remember.
**[03:36] Siegfried**
What do you think?
**[03:37] Siegfried**
Let's say the two of us retire tomorrow.
**[03:41] Siegfried**
Will you go fishing with me again?
**[03:45] Dominic**
To tell you the truth...
**[03:48] Dominic**
I've no doubt I'd bring
in twice the haul you did.
**[03:51] Siegfried**
Well, I'd bring in one that's much bigger
than anything you can catch.
**[03:55] Dominic**
We said similar things in the past.
**[03:59] Dominic**
And how did that turn out?
**[04:04] Siegfried**
Now you're asking for it!
**[04:13] Dominic**
I do recall dreaming of such a future.
**[04:17] Dominic**
It feels like the dream grows
more distant as the years pass...
**[04:22] Dominic**
It no longer sounds realistic at all.
**[04:25] Siegfried**
It seems we've been too caught up
in our own so-called mission.
**[04:31] Dominic**
As the king should be, in my opinion.
**[04:34] Siegfried**
However, Lady Sei's life continues after this.
**[04:40] Siegfried**
Once she achieves complete freedom,
**[04:42] Siegfried**
will she be able to grasp
the things that she loves?
**[05:02] Yuri**
So sleepy...
**[05:07] Aira**
Excuse me.
**[05:14] Aira**
U-Um, the Magus requests
immediate approval of a few things
**[05:19] Aira**
and gave me these documents to deliver.
**[05:23] Yuri**
I'm busy right now,
so I'll go through them later.
**[05:27] Yuri**
It's fine, it's fine.
**[05:29] Yuri**
Erh always overexaggerates.
**[05:32] Aira**
B-But...
**[05:34] Yuri**
I'm sure he's the only one who
understands the documents anyways.
**[05:39] Aira**
But, well, speaking of...
**[05:44] Erhart**
Just who are you talking about?
**[05:48] Yuri**
Could it be that you came to help?
**[05:51] Yuri**
The documents are really piling up.
**[05:54] Erhart**
Don't act spoiled.
**[05:55] Erhart**
I just came to make sure you're working.
**[05:58] Yuri**
I am, I am.
**[06:00] Yuri**
I've been sacrificing sleep
for magic research.
**[06:04] Erhart**
I was talking about the paperwork.
**[06:10] Aira**
Um, what's this?
**[06:13] Yuri**
Oh, that.
**[06:15] Yuri**
You taught me how to make those, remember?
**[06:17] Yuri**
I can't get them to fly very well.
**[06:20] Aira**
I'm not talking about that.
**[06:21] Aira**
This looks really important...
**[06:25] Yuri**
I'm busy right now, so I'll look at it later.
**[06:38] Erhart**
An invitation to a play?
**[06:40] Aira**
An invitation?
**[06:42] Yuri**
A gift of sorts.
**[06:44] Yuri**
Except I'd rather be working
than going to a play I don't care about.
**[06:50] Erhart**
That's because your research
might as well be your hobby.
**[06:54] Aira**
I had no idea play invitations
were so gorgeous.
**[06:58] Aira**
I'd never seen one before.
**[07:00] Erhart**
Were there no theaters in your homeland?
**[07:04] Aira**
No, there were a lot of them!
**[07:07] Aira**
It's just my first time seeing
a ticket like this.
**[07:10] Aira**
Oh, not that I know very much about them.
**[07:14] Erhart**
Well, this is probably a patron's invitation.
**[07:17] Aira**
Patron?
**[07:19] Erhart**
A reservation for a special seat
prepared for the Drewes family
**[07:23] Erhart**
for their financial support.
**[07:27] Aira**
Nobles are really amazing...
**[07:30] Erhart**
It's useless to Yuri,
who cares nothing for the mundane world.
**[07:34] Erhart**
Hurry up and get to work.
**[07:37] Aira**
U-Um...
**[07:39] Yuri**
Aira, your world has plays too?!
Isn't that what you said?!
**[07:43] Aira**
Yes.
**[07:47] Yuri**
Then I'd better hurry up and get to work!
**[07:50] Aira**
Wait, huh?
**[07:58] Erhart**
I have a really bad feeling about this.
**[08:09] Yuri**
Well, that's all for today.
**[08:12] Sei**
Thank you very much.
**[08:18] Yuri**
Lady Sei, have you seen a play before?
**[08:24] Sei**
A play? Like on a stage?
**[08:27] Yuri**
Yes, where they dance and sing.
That kind of thing.
**[08:31] Sei**
I went once back in my old world...
**[08:34] Yuri**
I'm glad to hear it.
**[08:36] Yuri**
Now, would you like to go see one together?
**[08:39] Sei**
Wh-What?
**[08:41] Yuri**
I received two tickets for a play
being put on in the royal capital.
**[08:46] Yuri**
They came to my parents' home.
**[08:49] Yuri**
Normally, the head of the house would
attend with his wife, but unfortunately...
**[08:54] Sei**
They couldn't make it?
**[08:56] Yuri**
Something like that.
**[08:58] Yuri**
So the tickets have fallen to me.
**[09:02] Yuri**
You were the first person
I thought of asking to go with me.
**[09:08] Sei**
Huh?
**[09:09] Yuri**
It can only be you, Lady Sei.
**[09:15] Sei**
Wh-What do you mean by that?
**[09:18] Yuri**
Your world has no magic, correct?
**[09:21] Sei**
Huh? That's right...
**[09:23] Yuri**
Since our world does, I'd like you to tell me
**[09:26] Yuri**
if the presence or absence of magics
affects theater production.
**[09:31] Sei**
*Oh, that's what he means. The usual.*
**[09:31] Yuri**
Don't you think that would be something
interesting enough to research?
**[09:35] Yuri**
And... it'd be problematic if I invited
anyone other than you, Lady Sei.
**[09:40] Sei**
Problematic?
**[09:43] Yuri**
I don't know what conversation
topics women enjoy.
**[09:46] Sei**
Even though you're so capable
when it comes to magic?
**[09:49] Yuri**
It'd be hard for me and put my date
in an awkward position.
**[09:54] Yuri**
So I'd love to go with you, Lady Sei.
**[09:59] Sei**
*The Grand Magus* does *always take care of me.*
**[10:03] Sei**
* And it's true that I'm intrigued*
* by what theater is like in this world...*
**[10:08] Sei**
I understand. I'll go with you.
**[10:11] Yuri**
Thank you so much!
**[10:14] Yuri**
This will be the time and location.
**[10:17] Sei**
Oh, it's in the evening.
**[10:26] Johan**
Come to think of it, Jude wanted
to go out to eat together sometime.
**[10:31] Johan**
I hear he found a really good restaurant.
**[10:33] Sei**
How nice!
**[10:35] Johan**
Okay, why don't we go on your next day off?
**[10:38] Sei**
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm actually busy that day.
**[10:42] Johan**
You have plans?
**[10:44] Sei**
Yes, I'm going to a play...
**[10:47] Sei**
That's right!
I need to figure out what to wear!
**[10:50] Sei**
Is there a certain dress code to follow
when attending a theater play?
**[10:54] Johan**
That depends on the theater...
**[10:57] Johan**
Are you going with Lady Ashley?
**[11:00] Sei**
No, with Lord Drewes.
**[11:03] Johan**
And when did you promise him that?
**[11:06] Sei**
During my last lesson.
**[11:08] Johan**
He invited you himself?
**[11:10] Sei**
Yes. His family couldn't attend,
so he had extra tickets.
**[11:17] Sei**
What's the matter?
**[11:21] Johan**
The plays in the royal capital are split
into ones for commoners and ones for nobles.
**[11:26] Johan**
If you are attending with the Drewes family,
it must be the latter.
**[11:31] Johan**
You'll need a dress. You should ask
the maids in the palace for advice.
**[11:37] Sei**
Does that mean...
**[11:40] Johan**
Though it's an evening play,
**[11:41] Johan**
you'll have to begin preparations
early in the day.
**[11:47] Sei**
Of course. Of course that's how it is...
**[11:50] Johan**
Well, chin up.
**[11:53] Sei**
Yes.
**[11:58] Johan**
Yuri Drewes...
**[12:00] Johan**
No, Marquis Drewes must be behind this.
**[12:27] Yuri**
Good evening, Lady Sei.
**[12:30] Sei**
G-Good evening.
**[12:34] Yuri**
You look ravishing tonight, Lady Sei.
**[12:38] Sei**
W-Wait! What are you saying all of a sudden?!
**[12:41] Yuri**
Oh? You didn't like hearing that?
**[12:44] Sei**
It's not about whether I like it or not.
What's gotten into you?
**[12:50] Yuri**
My family taught me that this is
basic courtesy when escorting a woman.
**[12:56] Sei**
*His family did?*
**[12:58] Sei**
* He's acting totally different*
* from his usual self!*
**[13:02] Sei**
Whatever. Let's go.
**[13:13] Sei**
Isn't that the entrance to the theater?
**[13:15] Yuri**
Yes, but patrons apparently
have a private one.
**[13:19] Yuri**
We'll be going in through there.
**[13:21] Sei**
You don't say—
**[13:26] Sei**
*Calm down!*
**[13:27] Sei**
* This is the Grand Magus!*
* His only interest is in magic!*
**[14:03] Yuri**
What's the matter?
**[14:06] Sei**
Nothing. It's just not every day
you see a theater like this.
**[14:10] Yuri**
I've never been to a play before myself.
**[14:13] Yuri**
So this is a first for us both.
**[14:17] Sei**
It looks like all of the chandeliers
here have magic cast on them.
**[14:22] Yuri**
Indeed, they do.
**[14:23] Sei**
How novel.
**[14:25] Sei**
I usually see candles on the
chandeliers in the royal palace.
**[14:30] Yuri**
Are candles normally used
for lighting in your world, Lady Sei?
**[14:35] Sei**
Well, maybe in the past.
**[14:40] Sei**
There used to be a special job
for snuffing candles during a play.
**[14:45] Yuri**
Are things different now?
**[14:47] Sei**
Yes. They're much more convenient now.
**[14:52] Sei**
We can change lights into an array of colors
**[14:54] Sei**
and adjust their brightness
with the touch of a button.
**[14:57] Yuri**
I see.
**[14:59] Yuri**
It would be nice to do such things with magic.
**[15:04] Sei**
Can't you?
**[15:06] Yuri**
Huh?
**[15:07] Sei**
Light.
**[15:12] Yuri**
Amazing!
**[15:15] Sei**
Shh! Shh!
**[15:19] Sei**
S-Sorry! I was taught that
we need to be quiet at a theater.
**[15:25] Yuri**
Think nothing of it!
**[15:26] Yuri**
I've only ever considered Light a spell
merely to be cast and canceled.
**[15:31] Yuri**
You've once again opened my eyes, Lady Sei.
**[15:35] Sei**
I'm flattered to hear that...
**[15:39] Yuri**
I forget not to get stuck in my ways,
both in my research and other things.
**[15:44] Sei**
I agree.
**[15:46] Yuri**
We need to get close to what we love
and examine it with our own hands.
**[15:51] Yuri**
That way, we may come
to know ourselves even better.
**[15:55] Sei**
You think so...?
**[15:58] Yuri**
On that note, I wonder if that light will ever
reveal its golden glow with me by my side.
**[16:08] Yuri**
Oh, don't mind me.
**[16:13] Yuri**
It looks like the play is about to begin.
**[16:15] Sei**
It does!
**[16:31] Nobles**
They looked so good together!
**[16:33] Nobles**
So true!
**[16:33] Nobles**
It's just as you say!
**[16:38] Noble Lady A**
Good afternoon, Lady Ashley.
**[16:41] Liz**
Why, good after—
**[16:43] Noble Lady B**
Did you hear?
**[16:45] Noble Lady C**
It's the talk of the town!
**[16:49] Liz**
What are you talking about?
**[16:51] Noble Lady A**
The Holy Saint! At long last!
**[16:54] Noble Lady B**
She's going to be engaged!
**[16:57] Noble Lady C**
Her partner is the mysterious Grand Magus
of the Royal Magi Assembly!
**[17:04] Liz**
Where did you hear such a thing?
**[17:08] Noble Lady A**
Everyone is talking about it!
**[17:10] Noble Lady B**
My cousin's wife's viscount friend's
servant saw it with their own eyes!
**[17:16] Noble Lady C**
I heard they were so close with each other
that it was hard to even watch!
**[17:23] Liz**
In other words, none of you saw it yourselves.
**[17:29] Noble Lady A**
Well, that's...
**[17:30] Noble Lady B**
That's true, but...
**[17:33] Noble Lady C**
Even so...
**[17:34] Liz**
Lady Sei must have her
own thoughts on the matter.
**[17:38] Liz**
Shan't we keep to ourselves
and watch over her?
**[17:42] Noble Lady A**
Y-You're absolutely right!
**[17:45] Noble Lady B**
Too true!
**[17:47] Noble Lady C**
I was just about to say the same thing!
**[17:56] Aira**
I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!
**[17:59] Liz**
Why are you apologizing?
**[18:02] Aira**
This reminds me of my time at the academy...
**[18:05] Liz**
The academy?
**[18:07] Aira**
So much is different in this world
compared to ours.
**[18:13] Aira**
We view men and women doing things
together differently than you do here.
**[18:17] Aira**
I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused...
**[18:23] Liz**
And yet we were able to become
true friends because of it.
**[18:29] Aira**
L-Liz!
**[18:34] Liz**
I'm sure that Sei is panicking
right about now.
**[18:38] Aira**
Well, this is a bit different from my story.
**[18:40] Aira**
The rumors will probably stop pretty quickly.
**[18:44] Liz**
They will, if they began organically.
**[18:51] Liz**
It would benefit their family if people knew
that she was close to one of them.
**[18:57] Liz**
There are many who would think that way...
**[19:14] Researcher**
Did you call for me?
**[19:16] Johan**
Yes, can you deliver some documents?
**[19:18] Johan**
This one to the First Order.
**[19:21] Johan**
This one is to the Second.
This one is to the Third...
**[19:24] Johan**
No, I'll deliver this one myself.
**[19:32] Albert**
You wanted to talk to me?
**[19:34] Johan**
I came to tell you about
the rumor that's been spreading.
**[19:38] Albert**
Rumor?
**[19:40] Johan**
Yes, about Sei and Lord Drewes.
**[19:43] Johan**
Do you want to know?
**[19:46] Albert**
Not really.
**[19:48] Johan**
Come now. I'm here
because I'm worried about you.
**[19:52] Johan**
I asked Sei directly,
and it seems the rumors are false.
**[19:57] Johan**
They got so excited talking about magic
**[19:59] Johan**
that she doesn't even remember
much of the play.
**[20:02] Johan**
It sounds like there was nary a spark of love.
**[20:07] Albert**
I imagine not.
**[20:08] Johan**
You already knew?
**[20:10] Albert**
No.
**[20:11] Albert**
But knowing the two of them,
I can tell exactly what happened.
**[20:15] Johan**
Oh, so you weren't really bothered after all.
**[20:18] Albert**
I am bothered.
**[20:23] Johan**
What?
**[20:24] Albert**
Sei attends plays, huh?
**[20:28] Johan**
Ah, that took me by surprise too.
**[20:30] Johan**
She doesn't seem like the type
who'd enjoy something so stuffy.
**[20:35] Albert**
If Sei's interested in it,
I should have invited her.
**[20:39] Johan**
Could it be that you wanted to be
the first person to take her?
**[20:44] Albert**
Got a problem with that?
**[20:53] Johan**
Marquis Drewes probably
has something to do with the rumors.
**[20:58] Albert**
Perhaps.
**[21:00] Johan**
He probably wants to advertise
their relationship
**[21:03] Johan**
and get the public to push for
his son's engagement to her.
**[21:07] Albert**
The Grand Magus of the Royal Magi Assembly
and the Holy Saint, huh?
**[21:13] Johan**
He'll gain more power that way.
The plan sounds just like him.
**[21:24] Johan**
So, I'm probably meddling,
but shouldn't you make a move soon?
**[21:33] Albert**
For the sake of the Hawke family?
**[21:36] Johan**
No, for the sake of your own life.
**[21:41] Albert**
My own life?
**[21:43] Johan**
I get that you want to let her
go at her own pace,
**[21:48] Johan**
but there are times when
just waiting isn't enough.
**[21:52] Johan**
You should grab hold of what
you love with your own hands.
**[21:56] Johan**
Isn't that what life is all about?

**[00:07] Albert**
* I was drifting between dream*
* and reality the first time I met her.*
**[00:15] (Flashback) Albert**
Wolff!
**[00:40] Albert**
* Though I was barely clinging*
* to my life and consciousness,*
**[00:44] Albert**
* I distinctly remember*
* her desperate expression.*
**[02:24] Albert**
* I wonder if it was because*
* the situation was so fantastical...*
**[02:30] Albert**
* Even after I woke, I could feel my mind*
* constantly chasing her image.*
**[02:47] (Flashback) Wolff**
Commander!
**[02:48] (Flashback) Knight A**
Commander! You're awake!
**[02:49] (Flashback) Knight A**
What a speedy recovery!
**[02:51] (Flashback) Knight B**
Thank goodness!
I wasn't sure you'd make it.
**[02:53] Albert**
I'm sorry. My memory is still quite hazy...
**[02:56] (Flashback) Wolff**
Someone from the Institute
saved you with a potion.
**[02:59] (Flashback) Albert**
A potion?
**[03:00] (Flashback) Knight A**
Seriously, I thought it was a miracle!
**[03:03] (Flashback) Wolff**
You said it!
**[03:04] Wolff**
We watched your wounds close
when you drank it!
**[03:05] Albert**
* It wasn't magic, but a regular*
* potion that healed me?*
**[03:06] Knight B**
That woman is our savior!
**[03:09] Wolff**
Exactly! No, more than a savior,
she was like a goddess!
**[03:13] Albert**
* Once I realized that she wasn't some illusion*
* I dreamed at death's door, but a real person,*
**[03:20] Albert**
*I couldn't contain myself.*
**[03:24] Albert**
Now, about the woman who
administered that potion to me...
**[03:28] Johan**
You mean Sei?
**[03:30] Albert**
What's she like?
**[03:32] Johan**
What do you mean? She's a researcher here.
**[03:34] Albert**
I know that.
**[03:36] Albert**
I'm curious about things
like her appearance and personality.
**[03:40] Johan**
Her appearance and personality?
**[03:44] Johan**
Well, she's very compassionate.
**[03:47] Johan**
I mean, she used her own lips to give you
a potion while you were unconscious.
**[04:07] Albert**
Well, I'd like to thank her.
**[04:11] Johan**
The Third Order already sent her their thanks.
**[04:15] Albert**
That's not what I mean...
**[04:16] Albert**
I want to personally thank her myself.
**[04:22] Albert**
*Then, when I meet her properly...*
**[04:27] (Flashback) Johan**
Can you believe it?
But that was actually the truth...
**[04:31] (Flashback) Johan**
Oh, there she is. Come on in.
**[04:32] (Flashback) Sei**
Pardon the intrusion.
**[04:48] (Flashback) Sei**
I-It's a pleasure to meet you.
My name is Sei.
**[04:54] Albert**
*Thinking on it, I'm sure I fell for her then.*
**[04:57] Albert**
*No, I'd already long since fallen in love.*
**[05:01] Albert**
* My feelings for her are*
* now a part of my heart.*
**[05:14] Albert**
*How can I convey this to her?*
**[05:18] Albert**
*How should I present these feelings to her?*
**[05:25] Albert**
*If they don't get through to her, I...*
**[05:33] Liz**
So, Sei, isn't there something
you'd like to tell me?
**[05:39] Sei**
I can't think of anything...
**[05:41] Liz**
You truly have no clue?
**[05:44] Liz**
Or is it just something you can't tell me?
**[05:47] Sei**
No, I really don't think so.
**[05:49] Liz**
I see. Then I shall ask you directly.
**[05:53] Liz**
What is your relationship
with Grand Magus Drewes?
**[05:57] Sei**
Lord Drewes?
**[05:59] Sei**
I guess we're teacher and student.
**[06:01] Sei**
He's my magic instructor, after all.
**[06:04] Liz**
Is that all?
**[06:06] Sei**
Huh? Yes, it is.
**[06:08] Liz**
There's a rumor running rampant
within the royal palace recently.
**[06:12] Sei**
What rumor?
**[06:14] Liz**
I heard that you and Lord Drewes
are likely to get engaged.
**[06:19] Sei**
What?!
**[06:20] Liz**
Word is the two of you went to a play
**[06:23] Liz**
and got *very* close to one another
in a private theater box.
**[06:27] Sei**
No, no, no!
**[06:29] Sei**
It was nothing like that!
**[06:31] Liz**
Sit down.
**[06:33] Sei**
Y-Yes...
**[06:36] Liz**
So it's true that you attended
a play with Lord Drewes, is it?
**[06:41] Sei**
Yes. His family couldn't go,
so he had extra tickets.
**[06:46] Liz**
That's the standard pretense for such a date.
**[06:49] Sei**
But this is Lord Drewes we're talking about.
**[06:51] Sei**
He's only interested in magic.
I can scarcely believe there's such a rumor.
**[06:56] Liz**
That's fair. I understand
where you're coming from.
**[07:00] Liz**
However, you let your guard down.
**[07:03] Liz**
You brought this upon yourself.
**[07:05] Liz**
How careless must you be
to attend a play alone with a man?
**[07:10] Liz**
You're practically begging people
to spread rumors!
**[07:13] Sei**
Yes, I'm very sorry...
**[07:16] Liz**
Hearing such a rumor might be
uncomfortable for him.
**[07:23] Liz**
In fact, he may decide to step down
to honor your feelings.
**[07:29] Liz**
Who'd be in the tough spot then?
**[07:31] Sei**
What do you mean by that?
**[07:33] Sei**
We don't have that kind of relationship...
**[07:38] Liz**
Do you really mean that?
**[07:48] Liz**
There's no denying that noble life
is riddled with restrictions.
**[07:53] Liz**
It's not all as beautiful as it seems.
**[07:56] Liz**
However, that's the very reason your
pure feelings shine so brightly in my eyes.
**[08:02] Liz**
I wish for you to treasure
those feelings of yours.
**[08:08] Liz**
To live a fulfilling life, not as the
Holy Saint, but as a normal woman...
**[08:15] Liz**
Isn't it obvious what you must do?
**[08:35] Sei**
Say what you will,
but I don't know what to do!
**[08:37] Sei**
Things like noble life and getting
engaged are too much for me.
**[08:41] Sei**
I don't get it! I don't have
the experience points to level up!
**[08:45] Sei**
Rumors? What are we, middle schoolers?
**[08:47] Sei**
Well, my relationship skill level is probably
about the same as a middle schooler's...
**[08:55] Sei**
*In my heart, I know.*
**[08:57] Sei**
*I understand it logically.*
**[09:00] Sei**
* But I haven't fully given shape*
* or a name to this feeling.*
**[09:06] Sei**
*I can't go confirm my feelings, either.*
**[09:10] Sei**
What should I do?
**[09:23] Jude**
Sei, about this purchase order...
**[09:26] Jude**
What's wrong with you? Are you okay?
**[09:28] Sei**
Oh, yeah.
**[09:29] Sei**
Um, what did you need?
**[09:31] Jude**
It's about the purchase order you turned in.
**[09:34] Jude**
Isn't this quantity incorrect?
**[09:36] Jude**
I needed to confirm it with you.
**[09:37] Sei**
*Too close...*
**[09:39] Jude**
Look here. This number, too.
**[09:41] Jude**
I'm sure this is off by a whole digit...
**[09:44] Jude**
Sei? Are you listening?
**[09:46] Sei**
Yeah. Numbers. Numbers, right...
**[09:55] Jude**
Sei?
**[09:59] Sei**
Oh, Director!
**[10:02] Sei**
This purchase order! I'd like
your opinion on it as well!
**[10:03] Jude**
Hey. Hold on, Sei!
**[10:06] Johan**
Can we talk about it later?
**[10:08] Johan**
I'm about to go eat.
**[10:10] Sei**
I-I see...
**[10:12] Johan**
Sorry.
**[10:14] Johan**
Hey, I know.
**[10:15] Johan**
Do you guys want to go eat with me?
**[10:17] Jude**
I still have some work left.
**[10:20] Johan**
That so?
**[10:21] Johan**
Well, what about you, Sei?
**[10:23] Sei**
Huh?
**[10:25] Sei**
Uh... Um, I have something
I need to do after this!
**[10:28] Sei**
I'm sorry!
**[10:29] Sei**
It'd be embarrassing if there were
rumors about us afterward!
**[10:32] Sei**
Next time for sure!
**[10:33] Sei**
We can all go together!
**[10:33] Johan**
What's gotten into her?
**[10:36] Jude**
Beats me.
**[10:46] Yuri**
Sei is coming this afternoon.
**[10:48] Erhart**
That's right.
**[10:50] Yuri**
She showed me some new magic when
we went to go see that play together.
**[10:54] Yuri**
Her Light spell changed colors.
**[10:56] Yuri**
I'd never thought of trying that.
**[11:00] Yuri**
I hope she gets here soon.
**[11:01] Yuri**
There's so much I want to ask her.
**[11:04] Erhart**
Is that so? Good for you.
**[11:10] Aira**
Sei has arrived.
**[11:13] Yuri**
Okay!
**[11:16] Erhart**
Hey.
**[11:23] Erhart**
No, never mind.
**[11:51] Aira**
Um, Magus, what are you...
**[12:02] Erhart**
Don't worry about it.
**[12:04] Aira**
H-How could I not...?
**[12:28] Aira**
Are you here to pick up Sei?
**[12:30] Albert**
Yes.
**[12:31] Aira**
I think she's almost done.
I'll go inform her.
**[12:35] Albert**
Oh, no. That won't be necessary.
**[12:40] Albert**
These lectures are very important to her.
There's no need to interrupt.
**[12:45] Albert**
I'll simply wait here. Just like usual.
**[12:51] Yuri**
Well, that'll be all for today.
**[12:54] Sei**
Thank you very much.
**[12:57] Yuri**
Oh, Lady Sei.
**[13:19] Yuri**
Did something happen?
**[13:20] Sei**
Huh?
**[13:21] Yuri**
You were distracted during our lesson.
**[13:24] Sei**
Well, I...
**[13:26] Yuri**
Is it about the rumors?
**[13:30] Yuri**
Don't worry.
**[13:32] Yuri**
I feel nothing other than curiosity,
**[13:35] Yuri**
and I doubt my family plans
to force us together.
**[13:37] Sei**
Then why...
**[13:39] Yuri**
I've figured it out.
**[13:41] Yuri**
The requirement
to activate your holy powers...
**[13:46] Yuri**
It has to do with your feelings, doesn't it?
**[13:48] Sei**
I-I-I have no idea what
you're talking about!
**[13:52] Yuri**
Oh, is that so?
**[13:53] Sei**
It is! I still don't understand
how I activate them myself!
**[13:57] Yuri**
You don't say...
**[14:04] Yuri**
My, it looks like someone
is here to pick you up.
**[14:10] Yuri**
See you next time.
**[14:30] Erhart**
What did you say to Albert?
**[14:34] Yuri**
Nothing important.
**[14:38] Yuri**
I just realized the source
of the Holy Saint's power.
**[14:41] Yuri**
That's why I wanted to delve further.
**[14:44] Erhart**
The source of her power?
**[14:46] Yuri**
You still don't get it?
**[14:48] Yuri**
Her magic power is...
**[14:56] Erhart**
That's all you've got?
**[14:58] Erhart**
I realized that much a long time ago.
**[15:22] Albert**
Let's go.
**[15:51] Sei**
Thank you very much for bringing me back.
**[15:54] Albert**
Don't mention it.
I'm doing it because I like to.
**[15:58] Sei**
But isn't it a bother?
**[16:01] Sei**
I mean, it might start rumors...
**[16:04] Albert**
No, I...
**[16:07] Johan**
Oh, Sei. You're back.
**[16:09] Sei**
Oh, Director.
**[16:10] Johan**
I just made some tea.
I have plenty of snacks, too.
**[16:21] Johan**
See you later, Al.
**[16:23] Johan**
Thanks for delivering her.
**[16:25] Johan**
Now, let's have some tea.
**[16:26] Sei**
U-Um, thank you very much. See you later.
**[16:31] Albert**
Sei.
**[16:33] Albert**
Will you go out together with me
on your next day off?
**[16:37] Sei**
You want to go out?
**[16:38] Albert**
Yes, there's something I wish to show you.
**[16:43] Albert**
You'll find out when you see it.
**[16:46] Sei**
*I don't hate it when he asks me out.*
**[16:49] Sei**
* I wouldn't mind rumors spreading about us,*
* but I wonder if he would...*
**[16:56] Sei**
U-Um...
**[16:57] Albert**
You won't go?
**[17:03] Sei**
I didn't say I wouldn't go...
**[18:02] Albert**
Thank you for accepting my invitation today.
**[18:05] Sei**
N-No, thank you for inviting me.
**[19:03] Albert**
I am Albert Hawke.
**[19:04] Guard**
We've been expecting you.
**[19:20] Sei**
Is there something up ahead?
**[19:23] Albert**
Yes. This place is for the
exclusive use of the royal family.
**[19:26] Albert**
I received special permission to enter today.
**[19:29] Sei**
Special permission?
**[20:13] Albert**
What do you think?
**[20:15] Albert**
I tried to replicate
what you told me about before.
**[20:18] Sei**
You mean the illuminations I mentioned?
**[20:23] Sei**
You remembered...
**[20:30] Sei**
It's so beautiful.
**[20:32] Sei**
It makes me very happy...
**[20:34] Albert**
That makes me happy as well.
I always want to see the same scenery you do.
**[20:39] Albert**
Now and forever.
**[20:42] Albert**
I thought it would be better to take
my time getting closer to you.
**[20:47] Albert**
I wanted to prize your feelings
above all else...
**[20:51] Albert**
But in the end, it turns out I'm a weakling.
**[20:59] Albert**
I can no longer take my time.
**[21:02] Albert**
I'm too anxious and uneasy.
**[21:05] Albert**
You're so charming and beautiful...
**[21:10] Albert**
I wanted to watch over your happiness,
no matter the life you chose.
**[21:18] Albert**
But that's not enough.
I realized I wouldn't be able to take it.
**[21:26] Albert**
I don't want anyone else to have you.
**[21:29] Albert**
I don't mean to ignore your feelings, Sei.
**[21:33] Albert**
But if the idea doesn't displease you,
**[21:37] Albert**
would you please take my hand?
**[21:41] Albert**
I will treasure you all my life.
**[21:43] Albert**
I love you. Please marry me.
**[22:01] Sei**
Are you sure I'm good enough?
**[22:04] Albert**
I want you.
**[22:08] Albert**
It has to be you.
