**[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.
