[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.
