[00:06] ---
    Now, then. You're here
    today to be Appraised.
[00:13] ---
    Right.
[00:14] ---
    Appraisal magic requires the
    target's conscious consent,
[00:19] ---
    so do try to relax and allow
    the spell to complete.
[00:24] ---
    I'll try my best.
[00:28] ---
    Very well. Let's begin.
[02:12] ---
    Why the long face? Are you that upset
    about going to be Appraised?
[02:19] ---
    Ever since that day in the hospital,
[02:21] ---
    every person in every
    corner of the Kingdom...
[02:24] ---
    ...has been saying I'm the Saint.
[02:28] ---
    The only reason Aira-chan and
    I haven't been Appraised yet
[02:33] ---
    is because the only person who could
    Appraise us, the Grand Magus,
[02:38] ---
    fell into a coma after the
    Saint-summoning ritual.
[02:40] ---
    And now that he's woken up...
[02:48] ---
    If he appraises me, and they do say
    I'm the Saint... what happens then?
[02:52] ---
    I mean, you must have known this would
    happen after the stunt you pulled.
[02:56] ---
    What stunt? Some people were hurt,
    so I healed them a little, that's all.
[03:05] ---
    That was hardly a little, and you know it.
[03:15] ---
    Reports say the monster population has
    steadily decreased since the Summoning.
[03:21] ---
    Which means that the Saint was,
    indeed, Summoned.
[03:26] ---
    In the past, the Saint would go with
    the Knightly Orders on expeditions,
[03:30] ---
    assisting as only She could to
    eradicate the land of monsters.
[03:35] ---
    It's safe to believe the Kingdom expects
    the same duties of the current Saint.
[03:39] ---
    Does that mean I'd have to go into battle?
[03:44] ---
    I've never been anywhere
    near a battle before.
[03:47] ---
    The world I came from was peaceful.
    I don't know if I could fight.
[03:51] ---
    I'm sure they wouldn't have you fight
    until you'd completed some training.
[03:55] ---
    Apparently, the other woman
    summoned alongside you, Aira,
[03:58] ---
    has been doing just that at the Academy.
[04:03] ---
    She has?
[04:09] ---
    So, uh... what happens if they
    appraise me, and I'm not the Saint?
[04:17] ---
    Then Aira will likely take on
    all of the Saint's duties.
[04:22] ---
    However...
[04:25] ---
    They may ask you to join
    them in a support role,
[04:28] ---
    seeing as mages who can cast healing
    magic are few and far between.
[04:32] ---
    If I agree to help, does that mean I'll
    have to move to the Royal Magi Assembly?
[04:38] ---
    I'm not sure.
[04:40] ---
    I'd...
[04:42] ---
    I'd like to stay at
    the Institute, if I can.
[04:47] ---
    I can understand. I'll see what I can do.
[04:57] ---
    "Appraisal"
[05:06] ---
    --Look, there she is.
    --Is that the Saint?
[05:10] ---
    So that's her...
[05:17] ---
    Director Valdec of the
    Medicinal Flora Research Institute
[05:20] ---
    and Lady Sei are here to see you.
[05:28] ---
    Welcome to the Royal Magi Assembly.
[05:31] ---
    I am Grand Magus Yuri Drewes.
[05:36] ---
    P-Pleased to meet you, I'm Sei.
[05:39] ---
    This is the Grand Magus?
[05:42] ---
    He looks like he stepped
    out of a painting!
[05:45] ---
    Hold on a sec...
[05:47] ---
    How did I get surrounded
    by gorgeous guys?!
[05:50] ---
    I believe you're acquainted with Magus
    Erhart Hawke, our second-in-command.
[05:56] ---
    Th-That's right.
[05:57] ---
    I knew he had to be important,
[06:00] ---
    but I didn't know he
    was that high-ranking.
[06:03] ---
    Wait, Hawke?
[06:05] ---
    He's Al's big brother.
[06:08] ---
    Huh?!
[06:12] ---
    Now, then. You're here
    today to be Appraised.
[06:16] ---
    Right.
[06:18] ---
    Appraisal magic requires the
    target's conscious consent,
[06:23] ---
    so do try to relax and
    allow the spell to complete.
[06:28] ---
    I'll try my best.
[06:31] ---
    Very well. Let's begin.
[06:37] ---
    Appraise.
[06:49] ---
    Oh, no, does this mean...
[06:51] ---
    Sei!
[06:53] ---
    I didn't do anything!
[06:55] ---
    Really?
[06:56] ---
    Really, I swear!
[06:58] ---
    I take it that you didn't purposefully
    resist the Appraisal spell?
[07:01] ---
    No, I didn't.
[07:03] ---
    Is that right? Then that
    can mean only one thing.
[07:08] ---
    Your magic power is greater than mine.
[07:11] ---
    Greater than the Grand Magus?!
[07:14] ---
    Since when were you this powerful, Sei?
[07:19] ---
    There's no point in trying, then.
    That will be all for the Appraisal.
[07:25] ---
    Are you sure?
[07:26] ---
    It's quite all right.
[07:27] ---
    But, Ser!
[07:29] ---
    Instead, might I ask you to
    show me how you cast spells?
[07:35] ---
    Sure, I can do that.
[07:37] ---
    Then please use Heal.
[07:39] ---
    Wait, just H-Heal?
[07:43] ---
    Yes, please.
[07:44] ---
    That's such a simple spell.
    Will that really help him?
[07:55] ---
    Heal.
[07:59] ---
    My word!
[08:01] ---
    I see.
[08:04] ---
    Please, observe.
[08:06] ---
    Heal.
[08:12] ---
    Did you notice the difference?
[08:14] ---
    Typical mages, including myself,
    only produce a white light.
[08:19] ---
    But your Heal spell produces
    those golden sparkles as well.
[08:25] ---
    The knights you healed at the hospital
    also reported the same effect.
[08:30] ---
    As such, I wished to see it for myself.
[08:33] ---
    Thank you for cooperating
    with my requests today.
[08:53] ---
    Ser?
[08:56] ---
    Do you know what those sparkles even are?
[09:01] ---
    Unfortunately, no, not yet.
[09:05] ---
    They may be a result of
    your otherworldly origins,
[09:08] ---
    or something else entirely.
[09:10] ---
    I'm pretty sure I have a
    good idea why that is.
[09:15] ---
    It's the same reason for everything
    that's happened to me since I got here--
[09:19] ---
    and for the curse that makes everything
    I do 1.5 times more powerful.
[09:25] ---
    All the things I've done have been a
    surprise to everyone around me.
[09:32] ---
    When I think back on each and every one,
[09:34] ---
    it was all tied to the
    magic power I possess.
[09:37] ---
    That, and the strange gold sparkles
    that only appear when I cast spells.
[09:49] ---
    I am the Grand Magus of the
    Royal Magi Assembly, Yuri Drewes.
[09:53] ---
    I've come to deliver a report.
[09:56] ---
    Good. My apologies, but I wish
    to speak with him alone.
[09:59] ---
    Of course. I'll take my leave, then.
[10:03] ---
    I assume this is about the Saint?
[10:06] ---
    Indeed. I performed her
    Appraisal today, as planned.
[10:13] ---
    Your spell was unable to
    affect her, Grand Magus?
[10:17] ---
    You're sure she didn't resist the spell?
[10:19] ---
    I am. That was not why it failed.
[10:22] ---
    Then how?
[10:23] ---
    It must be because her magic
    power far surpasses my own.
[10:29] ---
    That's preposterous! You are the most
    powerful mage in the entire kingdom!
[10:33] ---
    That can't be true!
[10:34] ---
    Surprisingly, it is.
[10:37] ---
    You were able to measure Lady Aira's
    potential without trouble, yes?
[10:41] ---
    Correct. You can read
    the results in that report.
[10:46] ---
    Her quick improvement in all manner
    of skills is most remarkable.
[10:49] ---
    Agreed.
[10:51] ---
    As we cannot properly Appraise Lady Sei,
    we're left with only these facts:
[10:55] ---
    Lady Sei is blessed with an
    incalculable amount of magic power,
[10:58] ---
    while Lady Aira possesses the unnatural
    ability to rapidly improve her skills.
[11:03] ---
    So you're saying we still don't
    have enough information, then?
[11:07] ---
    We don't know which one
    of them is the Saint?
[11:11] ---
    Not quite.
[11:12] ---
    Hm?
[11:13] ---
    I believe Lady Sei is the Saint.
[11:18] ---
    I once thought that the golden sparkles
    that appear when Lady Sei casts magic
[11:23] ---
    were due to her being from another world.
[11:27] ---
    However, when Lady Aira casts magic,
    those sparkles do not appear.
[11:33] ---
    I believe the phenomenon must
    then be a facet of her Sainthood.
[11:38] ---
    Furthermore, Lady Sei's spells are far
    more potent than a normal mage's--
[11:44] ---
    and more potent than Lady Aira's.
[11:50] ---
    Excellent work. You may go.
[11:53] ---
    I will continue with my
    research on this matter.
[11:59] ---
    Well, this makes matters
    all the more complicated.
[12:02] ---
    If things go poorly, this could
    result in a crisis of succession.
[12:07] ---
    Kyle shows no sign of stopping, then?
[12:09] ---
    Indeed, that appears to be the case.
[12:13] ---
    His impropriety at the Summoning
    and insulting behavior towards Sei
[12:17] ---
    can no longer be overlooked or ignored.
[12:20] ---
    We must formally invite Sei to
    court as our honored guest.
[12:24] ---
    Make the necessary preparations at once.
[12:34] ---
    An audience with His Majesty the King?!
[12:38] ---
    But Ser...
[12:40] ---
    What is it?
[12:42] ---
    I don't have anything fancy
    enough to wear to court.
[12:45] ---
    That's quite all right.
[12:49] ---
    We'll take care of
    everything you may need.
[12:52] ---
    A-And I don't know
    how to conduct myself...
[12:55] ---
    His Majesty will not be bothered
    by that in the slightest.
[12:58] ---
    Would you do him the
    honor of your presence?
[13:01] ---
    I have to be firm, or he'll keep asking.
[13:05] ---
    But if I turn him down,
[13:08] ---
    he might think I'm still mad
    at him about the Summoning...
[13:12] ---
    And turning him down could put the
    Director in an uncomfortable position.
[13:19] ---
    Very well.
[13:21] ---
    Excellent. We will come to collect
    you on the aforementioned day.
[13:30] ---
    Lady Sei, we will have you prepare
    for your court visit here.
[13:35] ---
    Welcome back! We've missed you dearly.
[13:40] ---
    Miss Marie!
[13:41] ---
    I've been informed of your situation.
[13:44] ---
    Please, leave everything to us.
[13:47] ---
    Huh?
[13:49] ---
    First, let us take care of
    your current clothing.
[13:54] ---
    I-I can undress myself!
[14:11] ---
    Lady Sei.
[14:17] ---
    Whoa, who the heck is this?
[14:21] ---
    Lady Sei,
[14:22] ---
    here are your garments
    for today's visit to court.
[14:30] ---
    Oh, geez...
[14:33] ---
    The Grand Magus supposedly
    failed to Appraise me,
[14:37] ---
    but if they're making me wear this,
[14:41] ---
    then they must be pretty
    sure I'm the Saint...
[14:47] ---
    There you are.
[15:00] ---
    You look beautiful!
[15:04] ---
    Thank you.
[15:06] ---
    Lady Sei,
[15:08] ---
    you have a visitor.
[15:11] ---
    I do?
[15:20] ---
    Commander Hawke!
[15:21] ---
    Good morning, Sei.
[15:25] ---
    Good morning, Commander.
[15:27] ---
    So, uh... what brings you here?
[15:29] ---
    I'm here as your personal bodyguard.
[15:31] ---
    Huh?
[15:33] ---
    I'll be escorting you to
    His Majesty's court.
[15:36] ---
    But that's just down the hall!
[15:39] ---
    I thought you might be lonely by yourself.
    Should I not have come?
[15:43] ---
    Oh, no, I don't mind at all!
[15:46] ---
    Good.
[15:47] ---
    Johan was worried that
    you might be nervous
[15:50] ---
    before your first audience with the King.
[15:55] ---
    That's kind of him.
[15:58] ---
    Thank you both.
[16:01] ---
    Is everything all right?
[16:03] ---
    Oh, yes.
[16:04] ---
    You look a bit different,
    but you're as lovely as always.
[16:10] ---
    Sei...
[16:31] ---
    I'm so embarrassed!
[16:41] ---
    Still, I'm glad the Commander
    is here with me.
[17:21] ---
    I knew that smile was his way of
    saying everything would be okay.
[17:49] ---
    I am Siegfried Salutania,
    ruler of this great Kingdom.
[17:55] ---
    I'm Sei Takanashi.
[17:58] ---
    First, I must apologize to you for
    Summoning you so suddenly,
[18:01] ---
    and for my son's uncouth behavior.
[18:12] ---
    When they summoned me, then ignored me
    entirely and told me I couldn't go home,
[18:19] ---
    I was so incredibly angry.
[18:23] ---
    But I've decided to stay in this world.
[18:27] ---
    I fell in love with my
    work at the Institute,
[18:30] ---
    and everyone around me is so wonderful.
[18:34] ---
    I haven't completely forgotten
    that anger I felt in the beginning,
[18:39] ---
    but living in this world feels so right...
[18:47] ---
    Please, rise.
[18:51] ---
    We are humbled by your good grace.
[18:57] ---
    Since your arrival, you have performed
    many meritorious deeds for our people.
[19:02] ---
    An apology is not enough;
    I am compelled to reward you.
[19:06] ---
    What is it you desire?
[19:08] ---
    It could be a court title,
    land, anything you like.
[19:14] ---
    Nothing in particular.
[19:25] ---
    I have to ask for something,
    or I'll never hear the end of this.
[19:32] ---
    What do I want, though?
[19:34] ---
    My research into making
    higher-grade potions is still stalled,
[19:39] ---
    so if I could find the right knowledge...
[19:42] ---
    Perhaps in a book?
[19:44] ---
    I'm sure you'd find tomes with that
    knowledge in the Forbidden Collection!
[19:51] ---
    May I ask, then,
[19:52] ---
    to be allowed access to the
    library's Forbidden Collection?
[19:56] ---
    I have one more request.
[19:59] ---
    I would like to learn more about magic.
[20:03] ---
    Would it be possible for
    you to find me a teacher?
[20:06] ---
    I can use some magic now,
[20:10] ---
    but there is only so much
    I can learn from books.
[20:13] ---
    I would like an opportunity
    to formally learn spellcasting.
[20:17] ---
    Very well. Consider it done.
[20:20] ---
    Thank you, Your Majesty.
[20:43] ---
    Your Highness.
[20:49] ---
    My father did what?
[20:51] ---
    He apologized to her formally in court.
[20:55] ---
    What is that man thinking?!
[20:58] ---
    Then has my father acknowledged
    the other woman as the Saint?!
[21:03] ---
    No, he did not explicitly say so in court.
[21:06] ---
    Good.
[21:08] ---
    Still, many in the Palace are whispering
    about her being the true Saint.
[21:14] ---
    Let them whisper.
[21:15] ---
    When the time is upon them,
    they will see that I am right,
[21:19] ---
    as Aira's deeds will prove it!
[21:24] ---
    No need to fret!
[21:26] ---
    We will stay the course until
    the right chance is upon us!
[21:28] ---
    For we have the Saint!
[23:16] ---
    Good morning!
[23:19] ---
    Huh?
[23:20] ---
    Let us begin with our lesson.
[23:23] ---
    Wait, you're going to teach me magic,
    Grand Magus Drewes?!
[23:28] ---
    Indeed!
[23:29] ---
    Yuri Drewes, personal magic tutor,
    at your service.
[23:35] ---
