**[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"
