[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.
SIGN    "Theatergoing"
[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?
SIGN    Next Time
