[00:02] ---
    What is the meaning of this?
[00:04] ---
    Of what?
[00:06] ---
    "Of whaaaat?"
[00:07] ---
    Don't play coy with me!
    Why have they already left?
[00:10] ---
    Their departure date was
    moved up, apparently.
[00:13] ---
    Why wasn't I informed?!
[00:14] ---
    Because I didn't inform you.
[00:16] ---
    Why should I have?
    You wouldn't have been able to go, anyway.
[00:20] ---
    I am the Grand Magus of this Assembly.
[00:22] ---
    Is that so?
[00:25] ---
    Then please, finish his work for me.
[00:27] ---
    Ser, the Second Order of Knights has sent
    a missive urgently requesting our help...
[00:39] ---
    As new recruits, your work will primarily
    involve research here in our offices.
[00:44] ---
    As many of your colleagues
    require intense focus for their work,
[00:48] ---
    please work quietly so
    as to not disturb them.
[00:50] ---
    Yes, ser!
[00:55] ---
    Get back here! Right this instant!
[00:57] ---
    Don't you dare try to escape your duties!
[01:13] ---
    I know you. You're from
    the same world as Sei, yes?
[01:17] ---
    Y-Yes, ser.
[01:21] ---
    Let's be off.
[01:25] ---
    Huh?
[02:57] ---
    "Predicament"
[03:04] ---
    Jude.
[03:06] ---
    Director Johan.
[03:08] ---
    The Grand Magus.
[03:10] ---
    Liz.
[03:12] ---
    Aira.
[03:15] ---
    Mary.
[03:17] ---
    The Knights.
[03:21] ---
    Commander Hawke.
[03:25] ---
    Stop, stop, stop!
[03:26] ---
    Stop, stop, stop, stop!
[03:36] ---
    Yes?
[03:38] ---
    Lady Sei?
[03:40] ---
    Would you care to break for some tea?
[03:44] ---
    Th-Thank you, that sounds lovely.
[04:02] ---
    I know you do this all the time,
    but you're so good at what you do.
[04:06] ---
    Thank you for the kind compliment.
[04:08] ---
    I don't think too much about it,
[04:10] ---
    so suddenly calling attention to it
    makes me feel truly flattered.
[04:13] ---
    You don't think too much about it?
[04:16] ---
    Yes. Being skilled at my many
    duties is simply part of my job.
[04:21] ---
    Just part of your job...
[04:26] ---
    If I treat it like part of my job, then I
    won't have to think too hard about it!
[04:42] ---
    There you are.
[04:44] ---
    Hello. I'm looking forward to
    working with you again today.
[04:48] ---
    Actually, could I ask for your help?
[04:50] ---
    What is it?
[04:56] ---
    You want to experiment with your blessing?
[04:58] ---
    Yes. I was hoping you
    might have a few ideas...
[05:09] ---
    Follow me.
[05:23] ---
    First, let's test it on
    these potted plants.
[05:26] ---
    All right, I'll give it a try!
[05:40] ---
    What's wrong?
[05:41] ---
    N-Nothing, nothing's wrong!
[05:46] ---
    This is my job. My job!
    Just my job, just my job...
[05:57] ---
    The blessing!
[06:11] ---
    Did it work?
[06:13] ---
    I'm not sure. I was able to cast it,
    at the very least.
[06:17] ---
    All right.
[06:19] ---
    If it didn't work, then these seeds won't
    sprout. We'll keep an eye on them.
[06:24] ---
    All right.
[06:26] ---
    Right, then.
[06:27] ---
    Next, do this one.
[06:30] ---
    When you're done,
    move to this one, then this one.
[06:35] ---
    Huh?
[06:45] ---
    Good work.
[06:47] ---
    Thank you, ma'am.
[06:50] ---
    These'll grow fast, so we'll see
    sprouts in two or three days.
[06:54] ---
    I'll come by to check on
    them tomorrow, just in case.
[06:59] ---
    Yes, that's a good idea.
[07:01] ---
    Hey, there she is!
[07:03] ---
    Yo!
[07:08] ---
    Join my mercenary company!
[07:11] ---
    What?
[07:12] ---
    Please!
[07:14] ---
    Uh...
[07:15] ---
    Remember how you healed
    a whole bunch of us?
[07:18] ---
    Well, we don't see mages that can
    use healing magic all that often!
[07:21] ---
    Alchemy's a waste of your talents,
    I'm telling you!
[07:23] ---
    Hold it! What do you mean,
    alchemy's a waste?!
[07:28] ---
    Oh, I don't mean that alchemy's
    not helpful or anything!
[07:32] ---
    But I'd be stupid if I let a high-level
    healing caster go without tryin'!
[07:37] ---
    I know they're few and far between,
    and I see where you're coming from.
[07:43] ---
    So you get it!
[07:44] ---
    But you need to give up on Sei!
[07:46] ---
    But why?
[07:49] ---
    She can make potions
    and cast healing magic!
[07:52] ---
    You see people that powerful
    once in a lifetime!
[07:54] ---
    I'm not just gonna let her walk away!
[07:57] ---
    What do you think you're doing?
[08:02] ---
    Just having a brief chat with her, milord.
[08:06] ---
    I see. And what was it
    you were discussing?
[08:08] ---
    Nothing of importance, milord.
[08:11] ---
    Poppycock. You were just asking her
    to join your mercenary company.
[08:15] ---
    Granny!
[08:16] ---
    Sei will do nothing of the sort.
[08:20] ---
    And why's that your choice, huh?
    You've got nothing to do with her.
[08:24] ---
    On the contrary, I do.
    She came here with us from the capital.
[08:29] ---
    What? So she's with the
    Royal Magi Assembly, then?
[08:33] ---
    Why's a mage like her
    making potions for...
[08:37] ---
    Wait,
[08:39] ---
    are you the Saint?!
[08:42] ---
    That's the Lady Saint to you, dimwit!
[08:45] ---
    Did I forget to tell you?
[08:47] ---
    Everyone did, apparently!
[08:49] ---
    As such, she will not be able
    to join your mercenary company.
[08:54] ---
    Was there anything else you
    wished to speak with her about?
[08:56] ---
    Uh, no, milord.
[08:58] ---
    Then might I have her attention?
[09:01] ---
    I have something to discuss with her.
[09:05] ---
    I'll take my leave, then.
[09:08] ---
    Thank you for taking the time to help
    me today. I really appreciate it.
[09:12] ---
    You're always welcome.
    I learned plenty, too.
[09:15] ---
    I'll see you later.
[09:17] ---
    Come on, you!
[09:20] ---
    Ow! Be gentle!
    You're gonna rip off my ear!
[09:34] ---
    So, what was it you wanted to discuss?
[09:37] ---
    Right. We've finished our
    initial scouting of the area,
[09:40] ---
    so we'd like to begin our
    expeditions into the woods.
[09:43] ---
    I assume that means I'll be
    joining you from here on out.
[09:47] ---
    Yes. Though we have mages accompanying
    us, not many can cast healing magic.
[09:53] ---
    I regret that we have
    to ask for your help.
[09:57] ---
    It's all right. I'd planned
    on coming along, anyway.
[09:59] ---
    The monsters in the area
    are quite powerful,
[10:01] ---
    but we shouldn't encounter
    hordes of them all at once.
[10:05] ---
    We still have yet to discover one
    of those dark swamps, however.
[10:09] ---
    I see...
[10:11] ---
    I thought getting rid of that one
    would solve all of our problems.
[10:16] ---
    And working myself up to cast the
    blessing is really, really annoying...
[10:20] ---
    What's wrong?
[10:21] ---
    Huh?
[10:22] ---
    You look flushed. Are you feeling well?
[10:26] ---
    I-I'm quite all right, thank you!
[10:28] ---
    Really? If you're feeling unwell, we can--
[10:31] ---
    No, I'm totally fine! Honest!
[10:39] ---
    How the heck do I explain it to him?
[10:43] ---
    I can't. Not yet.
[11:07] ---
    Huh? Teatime for you, too, Ser?
[11:10] ---
    Same for you, then?
[11:16] ---
    I always start to crave tea
    right around this time.
[11:19] ---
    At some point, it just became
    part of my routine.
[11:23] ---
    Right?
[11:25] ---
    I wonder what she's up to.
[11:29] ---
    The usual, I expect.
[11:40] ---
    Boy, I'd heard the rumors,
    but you sure are one of a kind, huh?
[11:45] ---
    What rumors?
[11:46] ---
    Oh, I heard some randos sayin' how the new
    girl can craft loads of potions in one go.
[11:51] ---
    Which "randos" are talking about that?
[11:55] ---
    My apologies, I need to
    mind my tone, milady.
[11:58] ---
    Huh?
[11:59] ---
    Wait, is that not what you meant?
[12:01] ---
    What did you think I meant?
[12:03] ---
    I thought you were offended by the tone
    I was taking with you, the Lady Saint.
[12:09] ---
    Not at all. You don't have to
    be formal with me.
[12:13] ---
    I'd actually prefer it if you didn't.
[12:16] ---
    Is that right?
    Well, then, I won't change a thing.
[12:19] ---
    Thanks.
[12:21] ---
    This is way easier on me, too.
[12:24] ---
    I'm terrible at formalities
    and manners 'n all that.
[12:27] ---
    Oh, yeah, you going on that expedition?
[12:30] ---
    Yes. That is why I came all this way.
[12:33] ---
    I know you've been on expeditions before,
    but I can't help but worry 'bout you.
[12:39] ---
    You mean if we encounter monsters?
[12:42] ---
    The forests out here are way more
    dangerous than the ones
[12:44] ---
    surrounding the capital.
[12:46] ---
    There might be fewer monsters as of late,
    but there are still loads of 'em.
[12:52] ---
    Well, I'm sure I'll be all right.
[12:55] ---
    I'm tougher than you might expect.
[13:01] ---
    You're brimmin' with confidence,
    aren'tcha? Hope I didn't insult you.
[13:04] ---
    No, it's all right.
    Thank you for worrying about me.
[13:19] ---
    Will we be heading out
    once we're all gathered?
[13:21] ---
    Yes. We'll head out after
    I speak with our men.
[13:26] ---
    Is there anything you need me
    to do to help?
[13:30] ---
    Would you like to give them
    an encouraging speech, too?
[13:32] ---
    N-No thanks, I'll pass!
[13:42] ---
    Here.
[13:44] ---
    Thank you.
[13:51] ---
    I don't think I'll ever
    get used to this...
[14:46] ---
    Exhausted?
[14:48] ---
    I'm all stiff from sitting for so long.
[14:52] ---
    W-We're finally here!
[14:54] ---
    I'm a little excited to start
    exploring Klausner's woods!
[14:58] ---
    Excited to find some new
    herbs in the woods?
[15:02] ---
    Yes!
[15:03] ---
    Wait, no!
[15:05] ---
    Hey!
[15:12] ---
    We are honored to serve you today, milord.
[15:14] ---
    We're honored to have you with us.
[15:17] ---
    Our scouting will pale in comparison
    to your experience in these woods.
[15:21] ---
    Thank you, milord.
[15:23] ---
    And thank you for your
    assistance, Lady Saint.
[15:26] ---
    Huh?
[15:32] ---
    Of course. It's my pleasure to assist you.
[15:34] ---
    I'm afraid I'm not accustomed
    to these formalities,
[15:36] ---
    so I'd very much appreciate it if you
    spoke with me as you did before.
[15:41] ---
    If the Saint wishes it, then I must abide.
[15:46] ---
    Thank you, milord. As you wish.
[16:30] ---
    What're you looking at?
[16:32] ---
    Some herbs.
[16:33] ---
    I thought you weren't an alchemist.
[16:35] ---
    Actually, I do work at the capital's
    Medicinal Flora Research Institute.
[16:38] ---
    And you're the Saint?
[16:40] ---
    That's right, though I'd say my
    Saint work is more of a side job.
[16:44] ---
    Is our Kingdom gonna be okay with
    that kind of attitude from our Saint?
[16:47] ---
    --Absolutely!
    --Absolutely.
[16:56] ---
    A-Anyway, it's so lovely here, isn't it?
[17:01] ---
    You think so?
    Seems like a normal forest to me.
[17:06] ---
    That's what makes it so nice!
    You can really become one with nature.
[17:12] ---
    You're right about that. Nothin' out here
    but nature. That and memories.
[17:17] ---
    Spent lots of time in the woods as a kid.
[17:20] ---
    You love these woods, don't you?
[17:22] ---
    I-I wouldn't say that.
[17:25] ---
    It's just where I grew up.
[17:31] ---
    What's your hometown like?
[17:34] ---
    The forests of the capital are nice, too,
    though the flora is a bit different.
[17:41] ---
    Huh.
[17:42] ---
    What is it?
[17:44] ---
    Just thinkin' how nice
    your hometown must be.
[17:49] ---
    It really is.
[17:58] ---
    Commander!
[18:06] ---
    Is something wrong?
[18:08] ---
    We've discovered something that leads us
    to believe a dangerous monster is nearby.
[18:12] ---
    What is it?
[18:24] ---
    What is that?!
[18:26] ---
    Slime digestive juice.
[18:28] ---
    A slime?!
[18:30] ---
    Physical attacks barely
    damage them at all,
[18:33] ---
    so we'd like to avoid engaging
    it in combat if possible.
[18:36] ---
    Does magic work on them, then?
[18:38] ---
    It does. When we do engage them,
    we typically do so with magic.
[18:42] ---
    Something's still off, though.
[18:43] ---
    All the monsters 'round here
    seem to have vanished,
[18:46] ---
    but somethin' as dangerous as
    a slime is still hangin' around?
[18:48] ---
    So there are less monsters
    present in these woods?
[18:51] ---
    Yeah, I heard you'd killed a bunch,
    but I didn't think you'd killed this many.
[18:56] ---
    The same phenomenon
    occurred in the capital, too.
[18:59] ---
    Wow. Is that 'cause...
[19:01] ---
    Most likely.
[19:03] ---
    Yes, I know.
[19:07] ---
    Could you please stop
    staring at me like that?
[19:13] ---
    What are your orders, Commander?
    Should we proceed?
[19:17] ---
    If there is indeed a miasma
    swamp here, then we should.
[19:23] ---
    Stay alert, men!
    Watch for the traces of dangerous beasts!
[19:27] ---
    Yes, ser!
[20:08] ---
    There's one here, too!
[20:16] ---
    Ice Wall!
[20:21] ---
    Fire Lance!
[20:29] ---
    Ice Wall!
[20:43] ---
    Thanks.
[20:44] ---
    No problem, but we can't keep this up...
[21:38] ---
    Sei!
[21:39] ---
    Huh? What are you doing here, Aira?!
[21:41] ---
    Um, well, it's a long story...
[22:01] ---
    It's been too long!
