[00:10] (Flashback) Young Ten'yuu
    Mother! Guess what!
[00:12] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother
    What is it, Ten'yuu?
[00:14] (Flashback) Young Ten'yuu
    Father is taking everyone
    to the harvest festival!
[00:18] (Flashback) Young Ten'yuu
    May I go as well?
[00:20] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother
    Absolutely not.
[00:23] (Flashback) Young Ten'yuu
    But my elder brothers are all going...
[00:26] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother
    You are different from your brothers.
[00:29] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother
    You mustn't do anything to stand out.
[00:32] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother
    Do not make any enemies.
[00:36] (Flashback) Young Ten'yuu
    Yes, Mother...
[00:45] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother
    Forgive me. I can do nothing as your mother.
[01:02] (Flashback) Tenjun
    So this is where you've been hiding.
[01:04] (Flashback) Ten'yuu
    Oh, Brother Tenjun...
[01:07] (Flashback) Tenjun
    Studying arithmetic
    and natural sciences again?
[01:10] (Flashback) Tenjun
    You always work so hard, Ten'yuu.
[01:12] (Flashback) Ten'yuu
    It's in my nature.
[01:14] (Flashback) Tenjun
    You should at least attend the
    imperial meetings every so often.
[01:19] (Flashback) Ten'yuu
    I have no interest in politics.
[01:22] (Flashback) Tenjun
    Even though you're in the line of succession?
[01:24] (Flashback) Ten'yuu
    I am the eighteenth son.
[01:26] (Flashback) Ten'yuu
    My birthright is completely different
    from the other princes'.
[01:30] (Flashback) Ten'yuu
    I just want to live peacefully
    within my means.
[01:40] (Flashback) Servant A
    Prince Ten'yuu, it's terrible!
[01:41] (Flashback) Servant A
    Your mother has...
SIGN    "Divine Blessing"
[03:25] (Flashback) Ten'yuu
    How are you feeling, Mother?
[03:28] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother
    I'm fine. After all these years,
    I've gotten used to it.
[03:35] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother
    I've received permission to browse
     the imperial archives.
[03:38] (Flashback) Ten'yuu
    This time, I'm sure to find a cure.
[03:41] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother
    You've done enough, Ten'yuu.
[03:46] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother
    I'm quite certain no one can heal me.
[03:49] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother
    I want you to focus on yourself.
[03:52] (Flashback) Ten'yuu
    I couldn't...
[03:54] (Flashback) Ten'yuu's Mother
    As your mother, to see you live well
     will bring me happiness.
[04:06] Ten'yuu
    My own happiness is
    to see you living well, Mother.
[04:17] Ten'yuu
    Then, in the middle of my research,
[04:20] Ten'yuu
    I received a message about a very
    precious potion from Salutania.
[04:25] Sei
    I-Is that so?
[04:27] Ten'yuu
    With such high-grade potions in circulation,
[04:30] Ten'yuu
    there must be an outstanding alchemist here.
[04:34] Ten'yuu
    As soon as I realized that,
    I decided to visit as a transfer student.
[04:38] Sei
    So that's your reason, is it?
[04:40] Ten'yuu
    In truth, I originally believed
     you to be that alchemist.
[04:47] Sei
    Bingo.
[04:49] Ten'yuu
    Though I was wrong,
    I was still lucky to find you.
[04:53] Ten'yuu
    I'm grateful you're willing to speak
    to this outstanding alchemist on my behalf.
[04:57] Sei
    Ugh, I feel so guilty.
[05:01] Ten'yuu
    Unfortunately, however,
    even if they're willing to lend an ear,
[05:07] Ten'yuu
    it may yet amount to nothing.
[05:10] Sei
    Why do you say that?
[05:13] Ten'yuu
    You mentioned that there is a diverse
    range of status ailment potions.
[05:17] Sei
    Yes. Different symptoms
    require different potions, you see.
[05:22] Ten'yuu
    And not all potions will work
    for variances of the same symptoms?
[05:26] Sei
    That's correct.
[05:29] Ten'yuu
    My mother's condition has worsened over time.
[05:32] Ten'yuu
    She grew too weak to walk before she knew it.
[05:35] Ten'yuu
    Now she's completely bedridden.
[05:37] Ten'yuu
    I cannot fully detail
    the intricacies of her symptoms.
[05:44] Ten'yuu
    The alchemist may not be able to create the
    right potion without examining her directly.
[05:50] Sei
    But that's...
[05:52] Ten'yuu
    It's not possible to take an alchemist
    from the Salutanian royal palace to Zaidera.
[05:59] Ten'yuu
    Nor would my mother survive the journey here.
[06:12] Sei
    I wish there was a potion
    that could cure all status ailments.
[06:18] Ten'yuu
    All status ailments?
[06:19] Sei
    Something you might call a panacea.
[06:24] Ten'yuu
    If something like that truly existed...
[06:27] Ten'yuu
    It'd be a dream come true.
[06:35] Ten'yuu
    My apologies. Thank you for
    listening to my woes for so long.
[06:40] Sei
    Oh, it's fine.
[06:41] Ten'yuu
    I don't know what else there is
    for me to try, but I'll do everything I can.
[06:49] Ten'yuu
    Please relay this information
    to the alchemist.
[06:54] Sei
    Of course.
[07:01] Sei
    Trying everything you can, huh?
[07:10] Johan
    A panacea?
[07:13] Johan
    Why the sudden desire to make such a thing?
[07:16] Sei
    Well, I...
[07:17] Johan
    Is it for Prince Ten'yuu?
[07:20] Sei
    Yes.
[07:22] Johan
    You told me you wished to know his purpose.
[07:24] Johan
    You didn't say anything about helping him.
[07:27] Johan
    Did he ask to keep this a secret?
[07:30] Sei
    No, that's not the case.
[07:32] Sei
    It just seems like he doesn't want
    too many people to know the truth.
[07:36] Johan
    I see.
[07:37] Johan
    Even so, I'll need to know the details.
[07:40] Johan
    The palace is worried about what
    the prince is after too.
[07:44] Sei
    I understand.
[07:46] Johan
    I know how you feel,
    but please think of us too.
[07:51] Johan
    Everyone wants to protect you, Sei.
[07:54] Sei
    I'm terribly sorry.
[07:57] Johan
    Now, then...
[07:58] Johan
    You want to create a panacea
    to cure any manner of status ailment?
[08:05] Sei
    I'm not sure if such a thing
     is really possible.
[08:09] Johan
    Neither am I. That's like trying
    to catch clouds with your hands.
[08:12] Johan
    And there's another serious complication.
[08:16] Johan
    If you can truly make a panacea,
[08:18] Johan
    I don't have the authority to provide
    the recipe to the imperial prince.
[08:24] Johan
    We'd need the prime minister...
    or even His Majesty's permission.
[08:29] Sei
    Yes...
[08:31] Johan
    Well, I completely support
    your personal research on it.
[08:36] Sei
    Huh? You support the research?
[08:39] Johan
    Of course.
[08:41] Johan
    For many, the more difficult
     something is, the more inspiring.
[08:44] Sei
    But...
[08:46] Johan
    I can see Prince Ten'yuu triggered
    your interest in a panacea,
[08:50] Johan
    and there's no harm in a passion project.
[08:53] Sei
    Thank you so much!
[08:55] Johan
    Just be careful when and
    where you do your research.
[08:59] Johan
    We can't let him find out about your powers.
[09:02] Sei
    Okay!
[09:14] Jude
    Sei! You got a letter.
[09:16] Sei
    Thank you.
[09:20] Sei
    It's from Corinna.
[09:22] Jude
    Corinna?
[09:23] Sei
    The alchemist who looked after
     me in Klausner's Domain.
[09:32] Jude
    Is it some kind of bad news?
[09:34] Sei
    Well, not strictly speaking.
[09:37] Sei
    I asked her some questions
    about creating a panacea.
[09:41] Jude
    Didn't get the answers
    you were hoping for?
[09:43] Sei
    Yeah.
[09:46] Sei
    But it's not like I didn't learn anything at all.
[09:50] Sei
    She couldn't tell me about creating a panacea,
[09:53] Sei
    but she suggested some herbs that
     might have an effect on the symptoms.
[09:58] Jude
    I see. As expected of an alchemist
    from the Holy Land.
[10:05] Sei
    Huh?
[10:06] Jude
    What's wrong?
[10:07] Sei
    It's not in here.
[10:09] Jude
    Huh?
[10:14] Jude
    Oh!
[10:19] Sei
    What's that?
[10:20] Jude
    A dictionary of flowering plants
    covering nonmedicinal varieties.
[10:25] Jude
    Isn't this it?
[10:26] Sei
    You're right. It's not regarded
    a medicinal plant?
[10:30] Jude
    Maybe only the alchemists
    of Klausner's Domain know about it.
[10:33] Sei
    Yeah, that's entirely possible.
[10:36] Jude
    Since it's not medicinal, I don't know
    if our facility cultivates any of it.
[10:42] Jude
    What's wrong?
[10:43] Sei
    There may be lots of plants like this
    that aren't considered medicinal.
[10:47] Sei
    On top of that, they may be hard
    to obtain in the royal capital...
[10:50] Sei
    Researching this might be
    much tougher than I thought.
[10:54] Jude
    True.
[10:58] Johan
    You two sure get along.
[11:11] Sei
    I'm sorry. Making that potion
     has proved most difficult.
[11:16] Sei
    Or, um, that's what I heard
    from the alchemist.
[11:21] Ten'yuu
    There's no need to apologize.
[11:24] Sei
    But they really want to produce
     results before you depart.
[11:29] Sei
    That's what the alchemist told me.
[11:31] Ten'yuu
    I appreciate the concern.
[11:35] Sei
    You'll be studying here for a year, correct?
[11:43] Ten'yuu
    Actually, I've received a letter
    from a servant of my mother's.
[11:48] Ten'yuu
    Her condition is apparently declining.
[11:53] Ten'yuu
    Instead of studying abroad,
[11:55] Ten'yuu
    I think my mother would prefer it
    if I were by her side in her final days.
[12:04] Ten'yuu
    Perhaps because the two of us have only
     ever had each other, I'm inclined to worry.
[12:09] Ten'yuu
    My apologies.
[12:11] Sei
    I understand how it feels to be
    far away from your own mother.
[12:17] Ten'yuu
    I'm not certain how
     much longer I have left here,
[12:22] Ten'yuu
    but I would love to speak with you again.
[12:25] Sei
    Yes, I would like that too.
[12:51] Sei
    Commander Hawke?!
[12:52] Albert
    I've kept my promise, Sei.
[12:54] Sei
    Your promise?
[12:56] Albert
    You're the first person I've come to see
    upon my return to the capital.
[13:13] Sei
    How was your visit home?
[13:16] Albert
    My father and mother are both doing well.
[13:19] Albert
    However, the monsters are increasing in
    our lands at a faster pace than reported.
[13:23] Albert
    We may need to keep an eye on the situation.
[13:27] Sei
    I see...
[13:28] Albert
    Once things have settled down,
    I'd love for you to see my birthplace.
[13:34] Sei
    I would too. I may be able
     to help as the Holy Saint.
[13:39] Albert
    Oh, no! That's not what I meant.
[13:43] Albert
    By the way, this is for you.
[13:45] Albert
    Open it.
[13:53] Sei
    Honey?
[13:55] Albert
    A gift from my domain.
[13:56] Sei
    Can I really have this?
[13:58] Albert
    Of course.
[13:59] Albert
    I brought it just for you, Sei.
[14:02] Sei
    Thank you so much!
[14:04] Sei
    I haven't seen honey in so long.
[14:07] Sei
    Oh, is it all right to use this in my tea?
[14:11] Albert
    Yes.
[14:18] Sei
    Wait, this aroma...
[14:20] Sei
    Is it apples?
[14:21] Albert
    I'm surprised you recognized it.
[14:23] Albert
    The honey is made from apple blossoms.
[14:26] Sei
    It has a very distinct scent.
[14:29] Sei
    Apple honey is rare, even where I'm from.
[14:34] Sei
    This must be precious.
[14:36] Albert
    It's true that we don't produce
     much of it, but don't you like sweets?
[14:41] Sei
    I do...
[14:42] Albert
    Then please accept this gift freely.
[14:45] Albert
    I'm pleased to see you so happy.
[14:48] Sei
    Th-Thank you very much...
[14:56] Sei
    It's delicious.
[14:58] Albert
    I'm glad.
[14:59] Albert
    Really and truly glad.
[15:04] Albert
    You seemed a bit depressed,
    so I'm relieved to see you smiling.
[15:11] Sei
    I'm sorry for making you worry.
[15:14] Albert
    Fret not. Were you ruminating
     on your research?
[15:18] Sei
    I've hit a bit of a snag...
[15:20] Sei
    But this has really helped me unwind.
[15:23] Sei
    The honey has such a sweet, gentle flavor.
[15:27] Albert
    I see.
[15:31] Sei
    It's quite delicious.
[15:33] Albert
    I've never used honey in tea,
    so I'm unfamiliar with the flavor.
[15:38] Sei
    Honey tea is a great drink
    when your throat hurts.
[15:41] Sei
    I recommend mixing it in warm milk
    when you can't sleep as well.
[15:45] Albert
    I see it has many uses.
[15:47] Sei
    Yes, they say that honey
    is a universal remedy.
[15:51] Sei
    And it's also commonly said that
    an apple a day keeps the doctor away...
[15:57] Albert
    What is it?
[15:58] Sei
    I just had an idea.
[16:00] Sei
    A potion made with apple honey...
[16:03] Sei
    I was wondering if I could
    use this to make a panacea.
[16:08] Sei
    Mixing totally different ingredients
    with medicinal herbs might be the key!
[16:13] Sei
    Why didn't I think of it sooner?
[16:15] Sei
    I wonder if different honeys
    will produce different effects...
[16:19] Sei
    What about honey from lotus flowers?
[16:22] Sei
    Oh, that's right!
[16:23] Sei
    I can use my holy powers, just like I do
    when making high-grade healing potions!
[16:27] Sei
    I can grow them myself!
[16:29] Johan
    I tried to find some for you,
[16:31] Johan
    but it doesn't seem apples are
    for sale this time of the year.
[16:35] Sei
    Then I'll have to wait until autumn?
[16:38] Johan
    I was only able to get a few saplings.
    Will that suffice?
[16:42] Sei
    That's actually better!
[16:44] Johan
    Your magic is practically cheating...
[16:50] Johan
    This is the place, Sei.
[17:04] Sei
    This is...
[17:05] Johan
    You're going to use
    the Saint's conjury, right?
[17:09] Johan
    I asked His Majesty to have
    it planted out of sight.
[17:13] Sei
    Thank you very much.
[17:14] Johan
    You can go all out.
    Have at it to your heart's content.
[17:19] Sei
    Yes!
[17:29] Sei
    I want to be of help.
[17:31] Sei
    Just like that gentle honey...
[18:18] Siegfried
    Thank you for responding to my
    summons at this early hour.
[18:21] Ten'yuu
    It was no trouble.
[18:22] Siegfried
    Have you gotten used to the academy?
[18:25] Ten'yuu
    Yes. Everyone has been very kind and helpful.
[18:32] Siegfried
    I hear that you are interested
    in medicinal herbs.
[18:35] Ten'yuu
    Yes, a bit...
[18:37] Siegfried
    Did you know that the founder of alchemy
    was from our kingdom long ago?
[18:43] Ten'yuu
    No, I can't say I did...
[18:45] Siegfried
    I see.
[18:46] Siegfried
    This alchemist was so incredibly talented that
[18:49] Siegfried
    some of their formulas were lost
    and never successfully replicated.
[18:59] Ten'yuu
    What is this?
[19:00] Siegfried
    Potions created by said alchemist that
    have been passed down in the royal family.
[19:05] Siegfried
    They are known as panaceas.
[19:08] Ten'yuu
    Panacea?
[19:10] Siegfried
    It can remedy all manner of status ailments.
[19:13] Siegfried
    Be it poison, paralysis, or disease,
    this can cure them all.
[19:21] Siegfried
    I'd like to offer these to you.
[19:24] Siegfried
    Consider it a token of friendship
    between our nations.
[19:32] Ten'yuu
    I cannot accept something like this.
[19:35] Siegfried
    And why not?
[19:36] Ten'yuu
    I am but a powerless prince.
[19:39] Ten'yuu
    I cannot provide anything
     of equal value in return.
[19:43] Siegfried
    I am the sovereign of this kingdom.
    I cannot say I expect nothing.
[19:47] Siegfried
    However, I do not need anything
    from you immediately.
[19:52] Ten'yuu
    That's...
[19:53] Siegfried
    Think of it as an investment.
[19:55] Siegfried
    Those who have met you all tell me
     you are a man of integrity.
[20:01] Siegfried
    We truly wish to become friends.
[20:12] Ten'yuu
    In that case, I gratefully accept this gift.
[20:23] Jude
    Sei! You have a letter from Prince Ten'yuu.
[20:26] Sei
    Lovely!
[20:27] Jude
    I heard His Highness is returning home.
[20:30] Sei
    Seems like it.
[20:31] Jude
    I'm a little sad we didn't get
    to say goodbye to him.
[20:36] Sei
    We'll meet again if fate allows.
[20:41] Jude
    I heard he has urgent business back home.
[20:44] Jude
    It's because he got
    the medicine you made, right?
[20:47] Sei
    Probably.
[20:48] Sei
    His Majesty handled all the details,
    so I don't know exactly how he received it.
[20:55] Jude
    I hope it works.
[21:02] Sei
    I hope to hear stories about
    Prince Ten'yuu's mother someday.
[22:51] Ceyran
    We should reach Zaidera in a few days.
[22:55] Ten'yuu
    I see.
[22:57] Ceyran
    I wonder who could have created
    something like that.
[23:02] Ten'yuu
    Well...
[23:06] Ten'yuu
    I don't know who created it,
[23:08] Ten'yuu
    but I know who did all they could to help me.
[23:15] Ten'yuu
    I only spoke with one person about a panacea.
[23:22] Ten'yuu
    I'm sure this will cure my mother.
