[01:33] ---
    I'm home.
[01:35] ---
    Not like there's anyone else here.
[01:48] ---
    It worked!
[01:50] ---
    I knew the Grand Magus could do it!
[01:54] ---
    Are you all right?
[02:06] ---
    T'would seem the ritual
    was a grand success!
[02:25] ---
    It is my great honor to meet you.
[02:28] ---
    You must be our Saint.
[02:31] ---
    What?
[02:33] ---
    This is the Kingdom of Salutania.
[02:36] ---
    Since ancient times, the Kingdom
    has lived within a shroud of miasma,
[02:42] ---
    which, when heavy and thick, warps
    the bodies and minds of living creatures,
[02:46] ---
    bringing forth terrible monsters
    that ravage the world.
[02:50] ---
    While the Kingdom's Orders of Knights
    fight tooth and nail to protect us all,
[02:55] ---
    there are periods when the miasma grows
    too thick to keep the beasts at bay.
[03:01] ---
    During those periods, a holy maiden
    called the "Saint" will appear.
[03:07] ---
    The Saint will use her power
    to obliterate the monsters,
[03:09] ---
    and some say her mere presence
    lifts the weight of the miasma.
[03:12] ---
    Her power and grace
    keeps the Kingdom at peace
[03:15] ---
    and shines as a light of hope for
    the citizens that live within Her borders.
[03:19] ---
    Or so it is written in our ancient texts.
[03:23] ---
    You must be our Saint.
[03:26] ---
    However, in dire times,
    when a Saint did not appear,
[03:28] ---
    the Kingdom's sages devised
    a Saint-summoning ritual,
[03:31] ---
    one that would call forth a woman
    with the Saint's divine powers--
[03:34] ---
    Th-The miasma must be especially bad
    if two Saints were summoned!
[03:41] ---
    That's my hypothesis, anyway...
[03:43] ---
    So, how do I go back?
[03:47] ---
    A-About that, well...
[03:52] ---
    Please wait, Holy Saint!
[04:03] ---
    May I ask where you're going, Holy Saint?
[04:05] ---
    I'm leaving.
[04:08] ---
    As is your divine right.
[04:10] ---
    If you truly wish to leave,
    then it would be improper to stop you.
[04:17] ---
    But would you do us the honor of lending
    us your ear for a few more moments more?
[04:32] ---
    ...and that would be our Kingdom's
    current state of affairs.
[04:37] ---
    Know that we are appalled by
    Prince Kyle's rude behavior towards you.
[04:42] ---
    Please accept my most humble apologies.
[04:45] ---
    Unfortunately, I would not think it wise
    to live outside the walls of the Palace.
[04:49] ---
    It is simply not safe
    for someone of your stature.
[04:56] ---
    Oh. Okay.
[04:59] ---
    I guess I'll have to spend some time
    getting used to living in this world.
[05:05] ---
    If you'd like, Holy Saint,
[05:07] ---
    you are more than welcome to
    make your lodgings here in the Palace.
[05:14] ---
    Okay.
[05:18] ---
    But...
[05:20] ---
    Could you please stop
    calling me Holy Saint?
[05:34] ---
    Ugh. There's nothing to do.
[05:39] ---
    No one's come to talk to me since.
    Are they doing this on purpose?
[05:43] ---
    Sure, the maid's taking care of me,
[05:46] ---
    but I can't spend every
    waking moment talking to her.
[05:50] ---
    No TV, no phone, just one room...
[05:52] ---
    At the very least, I'm a lot more relaxed.
[05:57] ---
    Would it be all right
    if I went for a little walk?
[06:02] ---
    Of course. Let me call for an escort.
[06:05] ---
    Oh, no, thanks,
    I-I'll be fine! Promise.
[06:09] ---
    I'm just going to go into
    the garden, that's all.
[06:12] ---
    Are you quite sure? Very well, then.
[06:25] ---
    I feel a little guilty, but oh, well...
[06:29] ---
    It's nice to get a little time alone.
[06:54] ---
    Lavender!
[07:00] ---
    It smells the same, too. So calming.
[07:04] ---
    I wonder if the plants in this
    world are the same, too.
[07:08] ---
    Hello, there.
[07:13] ---
    Can I help you?
[07:15] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry!
[07:17] ---
    I was just passing by and got distracted
    by these wonderful herbs.
[07:20] ---
    Wonderful?
[07:23] ---
    I'm glad to hear that.
    Please, look all you like.
[07:28] ---
    Are the plants in this garden
    just for show?
[07:31] ---
    Just for show? Oh, no.
[07:34] ---
    These medicinal herbs are used
    to craft potions for research.
[07:38] ---
    P-Potions?
[07:40] ---
    Yeah! Angelica, rosemary...
[07:44] ---
    Each plant produces
    its own potent effects,
[07:46] ---
    from relieving fatigue
    to inducing sleep.
[07:50] ---
    We can make use of these effects
    by drying or boiling them,
[07:53] ---
    but those effects are further amplified
    when they're mixed into a potion.
[07:57] ---
    O-Oh, wow, that's incredible.
[08:01] ---
    Potions? I thought those
    only existed in video games.
[08:05] ---
    You're quite the expert.
[08:07] ---
    Well, it is my job.
[08:09] ---
    Your job?
[08:10] ---
    Yes, I work just down the way
    at the Research Institute.
[08:13] ---
    There, we research herbs and potions
    to study their properties and effects.
[08:19] ---
    A Research Institute...
[08:21] ---
    Would you like to visit the Institute?
[08:23] ---
    Could I?!
[08:52] ---
    Thank you so much for the tour today.
[08:55] ---
    I had so much fun
    talking with you, Ser Jude.
[08:58] ---
    Please, just Jude is fine.
[09:01] ---
    I enjoyed our time, too, especially
    since you know so much about herbs.
[09:05] ---
    I hope you'll stop by again soon.
[09:22] ---
    You certainly seem to be
    in good spirits today.
[09:27] ---
    Y-You think so?
[09:29] ---
    I do.
[09:30] ---
    I've seen many more smiles
    on your face these past few days
[09:33] ---
    than I did at the start
    of my time with you.
[09:37] ---
    Where are your walks
    taking you these days?
[09:39] ---
    The Medicinal Flora Research Institute.
[09:42] ---
    I was really into plants and medicinal
    herbs back when I lived in my world.
[09:46] ---
    Is that so?
[09:48] ---
    But the Research Institute is
    quite a ways from here, is it not?
[09:52] ---
    Oh, uh...
[09:55] ---
    She's got a point. It's pretty far.
[09:58] ---
    Y-You live there?!
[10:00] ---
    Yes. We're a fair distance from the
    palace, and even further from the Capital.
[10:05] ---
    A good handful of us prefer
    to live here at the Institute.
[10:08] ---
    Wow.
[10:11] ---
    Hey there, Miss Sei. Good to see you.
[10:14] ---
    Oh, hello. Thank you
    for letting me visit again.
[10:17] ---
    You're welcome to visit anytime.
[10:19] ---
    Ser Director, Miss Sei would like
    to live here at the Institute, too.
[10:24] ---
    Is that so? Would you like to
    officially become a researcher?
[10:30] ---
    I-If that's allowed,
    then yeah, absolutely.
[10:33] ---
    But it can't be that easy
    to become a researcher, can it?
[10:37] ---
    Still, if I'm going to keep
    coming here to stay busy,
[10:42] ---
    I might as well make it official.
[10:44] ---
    It's better than sitting around
    bored all the time, anyway.
[10:50] ---
    Yes, I do.
[10:53] ---
    I want to be a researcher!
[10:57] ---
    Very well, then.
    I'll get the formalities sorted.
[11:04] ---
    Well, no time to waste!
[11:07] ---
    I'll see you later!
[11:13] ---
    Miss Marie!
[11:17] ---
    That's quite all right.
[11:19] ---
    Wait, really?
[11:20] ---
    Of course.
[11:21] ---
    A member of the Institute just stopped by
    to speak with us about it, in fact.
[11:27] ---
    Wow, they work fast.
[11:30] ---
    I believe I speak for all of us,
[11:31] ---
    but after causing you so much trouble,
    we're glad to provide whatever we can.
[11:37] ---
    I-I really appreciate that!
[11:42] ---
    Here you are.
[11:43] ---
    All of the belongings you had upon you
    when you arrived are within that case.
[11:48] ---
    The rest of your effects have already
    been transported to the Institute.
[11:53] ---
    Thank you so much for everything.
[11:56] ---
    If you ever need anything,
    please don't hesitate to reach out.
[12:00] ---
    I will, thank you!
[12:02] ---
    Save travels to you!
[12:20] ---
    My name is Sei. I'll be joining you
    at the Institute from here on out.
[12:23] ---
    It's very nice to meet you all!
[12:25] ---
    Right then, who should
    take charge of you...
[12:28] ---
    Jude, she's all yours.
[12:30] ---
    Wait, me?
[12:32] ---
    You're the one who brought her
    into this mess, right?
[12:35] ---
    I-It's nice to be working with you, Jude.
[12:38] ---
    Yeah, same here.
[12:46] ---
    Right, then! First, let me explain
    what it is we do here.
[12:49] ---
    Okay.
[12:50] ---
    Our Institute focuses
    primarily on medicinal herbs.
[12:55] ---
    That, and the potions that
    make use of their effects.
[12:58] ---
    This, here, is a potion.
[13:00] ---
    You can use it for most anything, like
    regenerating wounds or as an antidote,
[13:04] ---
    and it can be ingested orally or applied
    externally during first aid.
[13:07] ---
    Wow.
[13:08] ---
    How about we try making one, huh?
[13:10] ---
    Yes, please!
[13:12] ---
    First, we fill a pot with water...
[13:17] ---
    ...and bring that to a light boil.
[13:21] ---
    Then, we add herbs to the water.
[13:28] ---
    Once that's heated up just right,
    we imbue it with magic power...
[13:33] ---
    How do you imbue something
    with magic power?
[13:38] ---
    Huh?
[13:39] ---
    Huh?
[13:41] ---
    Wait... you've never used magic before?
[13:45] ---
    Never.
[13:46] ---
    Not even everyday cantrips?
[13:48] ---
    Nope.
[13:51] ---
    A-All right, then.
    Let me show you how it's done.
[13:55] ---
    Okay.
[14:05] ---
    There! One potion.
[14:08] ---
    I can only make
    low-grade potions for now.
[14:11] ---
    Still, you can use magic!
    That's incredible in itself!
[14:16] ---
    Y-You think so?
[14:18] ---
    In any case, you should start off
    by learning to cast magic yourself.
[14:22] ---
    Lend me your hands.
[14:29] ---
    I'm going to channel some of my magic
    power to you. Focus on the sensation.
[14:35] ---
    Okay, here it comes.
[14:45] ---
    I feel...
[14:47] ---
    ...something circulating through my body.
[14:50] ---
    That's it! That's the flow of magic power!
[14:52] ---
    I can't believe you felt that.
    You've got a knack for this!
[14:55] ---
    Oh, it's only because you're
    such a good teacher, Jude.
[14:58] ---
    Right, let's get you started
    making your own potion!
[15:02] ---
    Sh-Shouldn't I study some more first?!
[15:04] ---
    No, you'll be fine. It won't explode
    or anything if you mess up.
[15:08] ---
    Are you sure?
[15:17] ---
    Just imagine that flow from
    before pouring into the pot...
[15:27] ---
    Hold on.
[15:29] ---
    How much magic power
    am I supposed to add?
[15:33] ---
    Oh, jeez... Is this enough?
[15:37] ---
    Or should I keep going?
[15:41] ---
    That's plenty, Sei.
[15:42] ---
    S-Ser Director!
[15:44] ---
    Yes. Wonderfully done.
[15:46] ---
    All you have to do now is let it cool,
    then put it into a vial.
[15:50] ---
    Congratulations on your first potion!
[16:31] ---
    Come in!
[16:32] ---
    Sei, may I have a word?
[16:34] ---
    Of course.
[16:35] ---
    Is this a potion you crafted, Sei?
[16:40] ---
    Yes, this is one of mine.
[16:46] ---
    Fifty percent more effective?
[16:48] ---
    Yep. All the potions I make
    are 1.5 times more effective.
[16:53] ---
    Did you put something else into them?
[16:54] ---
    Nope. I only do what you taught me to do.
[16:59] ---
    It's the same color as any
    old low-grade potion.
[17:03] ---
    Do mid-grade potions
    have different colors?
[17:06] ---
    Yeah. This is a mid-grade potion,
[17:10] ---
    and this is a high-grade potion.
[17:12] ---
    Cool!
[17:14] ---
    Don't get any smart ideas.
[17:16] ---
    They're really tough to craft.
[17:19] ---
    Nobody at the Institute can make them,
    so we have to order them in.
[17:23] ---
    Well, look at the bright side!
[17:25] ---
    Whoever uses that potion
    gets a lucky little bonus!
[17:28] ---
    Fifty percent is too much
    to attribute to just "luck"!
[17:31] ---
    I guess we'll just
    have to experiment, then.
[17:34] ---
    Seeing as this is
    a Research Institute and all.
[17:37] ---
    You're right.
[17:38] ---
    Ooh, you should show me how to
    make mid- and high-grade potions!
[17:41] ---
    What?! You're not ready!
[17:43] ---
    C'mon, just show me once, please!
[18:11] ---
    I can't believe
    you can actually craft them.
[18:13] ---
    Sure, but I still make lots of mistakes.
    This is only my third potion.
[18:17] ---
    Still, you've only been here three months.
[18:21] ---
    And you keep making piles
    upon piles of potions.
[18:25] ---
    How is it that you never
    run out of magic power, Sei?
[18:29] ---
    So, how many potions
    does this make today?
[18:32] ---
    N-No clue.
[18:33] ---
    The Director's going to scold you again!
[18:36] ---
    Your potions are too strong for us
    to sell in the civilian marketplace!
[18:41] ---
    Keep this up, and we'll be out of herbs
    to make potions with,
[18:44] ---
    and that's not to mention our
    overflowing storehouses! He's gonna--
[18:46] ---
    Everyone, we have an emergency!
[18:47] ---
    Gather up all the healing
    potions we have, now!
[18:54] ---
    A week ago, the Third Order of Knights
    ventured into the Western Woods
[18:58] ---
    to subjugate the growing
    population of monsters,
[19:00] ---
    but they were attacked by a Salamander
    and suffered heavy casualties.
[19:02] ---
    They've just returned to the Royal Palace,
    and while none have perished,
[19:05] ---
    so many are gravely wounded
    that they don't have
[19:08] ---
    enough potions to heal them all.
[19:11] ---
    We are to gather up all the potions
    we have and any supplies we may need
[19:14] ---
    and head to the Royal Palace
    to assist the chirurgeons at once.
[19:16] ---
    On the double, now!
[19:28] ---
    So are there dragons
    in the Western Woods?
[19:30] ---
    Dragons?
[19:32] ---
    A Salamander is a kind
    of fire dragon, right?
[19:35] ---
    No, a Salamander is
    a fire-breathing lizard.
[19:37] ---
    A lizard? One lizard
    did that much damage?
[19:40] ---
    It's much bigger and faster
    than the name might suggest.
[19:43] ---
    It may not be as powerful as a dragon,
[19:45] ---
    but it's up there with
    the more deadly beasts.
[19:48] ---
    A huge lizard...
[19:50] ---
    We've arrived.
[19:56] ---
    This way!
[20:11] ---
    You there! Get us
    those potions, quickly, now!
[20:14] ---
    Yes, sir!
[20:19] ---
    Here.
[20:24] ---
    I feel better now.
[20:26] ---
    Thank goodness.
[20:27] ---
    Thank you, kind miss.
[20:31] ---
    How is it that things are this bad,
    and the Saint is nowhere in sight?!
[20:34] ---
    I hear she can use
    high-level healing spells.
[20:37] ---
    We could really use
    a few of those right now...
[20:39] ---
    Prince Kyle said the Saint was "not to
    bear witness to such a horrific scene."
[20:44] ---
    What?!
[20:46] ---
    Prince Kyle?
[20:49] ---
    That means the Saint must be...
[20:53] ---
    I mean, makes sense.
    She might not be able to handle all this.
[20:58] ---
    Sei!
[20:59] ---
    Do you have any high-grade potions left?
[21:02] ---
    Yes, I do!
[21:05] ---
    Captain! Stay with us, Captain!
[21:24] ---
    H-Here!
[21:28] ---
    Please, drink this!
[21:34] ---
    Drink it!
[21:39] ---
    Please, you have to drink it!
[21:49] ---
    Drink, dammit!
[22:28] ---
    Thank you, miss!
[22:30] ---
    --What an incredible potion!
    --You've saved him!
[22:35] ---
    He's an old friend of mine.
[22:39] ---
    And you saved his life.
[22:42] ---
    Thank you, Sei.
[22:49] ---
    Of course!
[22:49] ---
    "Summoning"
[22:56] ---
    What have you found?
[22:57] ---
    The exact mechanism is unclear,
[22:59] ---
    but the potions she crafts
    are 50% more effective.
[23:03] ---
    That's too great a difference
    to attribute to mere happenstance.
[23:06] ---
    And you've checked the materials
    and process used to craft them?
[23:10] ---
    Yes.
[23:10] ---
    Then could the increased effectiveness
    be because she is indeed the Saint?
[23:14] ---
    It's still too early to determine.
[23:19] ---
    I see. Have you noticed anything else?
[23:22] ---
    Not at this time, no.
[23:24] ---
    I see. Thank you.
[23:26] ---
    Send word to me if you learn
    anything else of importance.
[23:28] ---
    That will be all.
[23:30] ---
    Thank you.
[23:35] ---
    "Companionship"
