[00:08] ---
    You're wearing your usual
    dress today, I see.
[00:10] ---
    What a pity. You looked so lovely
    in that gown yesterday!
[00:14] ---
    Thanks, but I couldn't wear
    a corset like that every day...
[00:17] ---
    Really? Do you find it difficult?
[00:20] ---
    It's not difficult, just... painful?
[00:23] ---
    Black hair...
[00:25] ---
    Aira!
[00:26] ---
    There you are. Come.
[00:30] ---
    Coming.
SIGN    "Sorry, gonna be late tonight!
    Can you grab dinner by yourself?"
    "Yep. I'll pick something up
    from the convenience store."
SIGN    "Stay safe!
    Don't forget to lock the door!"
[02:34] ---
    I'll be back.
[02:44] ---
    "Interlude"
[02:49] ---
    T'would seem you've
    regained your composure.
[02:53] ---
    I am Kyle Salutania, crown prince
    of the Kingdom of Salutania.
[02:58] ---
    May I ask your name?
[03:03] ---
    Misono Aira.
[03:05] ---
    Oh, Aira is my given name.
[03:11] ---
    Um, how did I get here?
[03:14] ---
    We summoned you here using
    the Saint Summoning Ritual.
[03:18] ---
    What's that?
[03:21] ---
    --Damian.
    --Yes.
[03:25] ---
    Our Kingdom faces unprecedented danger.
[03:29] ---
    Terrible monsters, birthed by
    a dark miasma, ravage the land...
[03:32] ---
    Monsters? Miasma?
[03:35] ---
    What's a "miasma"?
[03:37] ---
    I don't get it.
    I don't understand what he's saying.
[03:42] ---
    Am I in a dream, or some kind of manga?
[03:46] ---
    However, no Saint has appeared in our age,
[03:49] ---
    so following with tradition, we decided
    to use a ritual devised by ancient mages
[03:54] ---
    --No, it's all really happening.
    --to summon a woman with
    the necessary qualities.
[03:57] ---
    As such!
[03:59] ---
    As the future king, it is my duty
    to address this crisis we face!
[04:04] ---
    And so, I called for the Saint Summoning
    Ritual to be carried out at once!
[04:07] ---
    If...
[04:08] ---
    Yes?
[04:09] ---
    If I kill all the monsters,
    can I go back home?
[04:17] ---
    I've never read any accounts of
    the Saint returning to her world.
[04:22] ---
    So I can't go home?
[04:44] ---
    How is Aira?
[04:47] ---
    She seems to have cried herself to sleep.
[04:50] ---
    I see.
[04:56] ---
    Damian.
[04:57] ---
    Your Highness?
[04:58] ---
    When your father passes, you will
    become the next Prime Minister.
[05:02] ---
    When you do, would you die for your king?
[05:06] ---
    If he so commanded, then yes.
[05:08] ---
    I thought as much. I would do the same.
[05:11] ---
    That is our lot in life.
[05:14] ---
    And none other's.
[05:16] ---
    But never mind that.
[05:18] ---
    I've signed the necessary documents.
    I leave the rest to you.
[05:23] ---
    It will be done.
[05:27] ---
    Lady Aira, what gown would
    you like to wear today?
[05:38] ---
    Lady Aira?
[05:39] ---
    Yes?
[05:40] ---
    Might I suggest this one?
[05:44] ---
    Yes, it looks beautiful.
[05:52] ---
    I think this cutesy one
    will look best on you, Aira.
[05:57] ---
    Oh, you look so adorable!
[06:02] ---
    Yep, that's the one!
[06:06] ---
    You look wonderful, honey.
[06:09] ---
    Thanks!
[06:14] ---
    You look wonderful.
[06:16] ---
    I knew that color would suit you best.
[06:21] ---
    Thank you very much.
[06:23] ---
    Is there anything you
    find yourself still lacking?
[06:25] ---
    No, not particularly.
[06:27] ---
    I have a room, and clothes,
    and I'm being fed well.
[06:31] ---
    Everyone's been so kind to me, too.
[06:34] ---
    As they should be.
    You are the Saint, after all.
[06:39] ---
    About that...
[06:41] ---
    This still doesn't seem real to me yet.
[06:44] ---
    It doesn't?
[06:49] ---
    Huh? I...
[07:39] ---
    --Read 'em and weep!
    --Damn it all!
[07:41] ---
    --I'll be takin' that coin of--
    --Guys, get back to your posts!
[07:44] ---
    Prince Kyle is making his rounds!
[07:46] ---
    Crap, really?!
[07:51] ---
    Good work, men.
[07:59] ---
    All right, back to work.
[08:04] ---
    Do people not like him?
[08:13] ---
    What do you think of Salutania?
[08:17] ---
    I think it's a beautiful, lively kingdom,
    Your Highness.
[08:22] ---
    Sometimes too lively, which can
    be somewhat troublesome.
[08:32] ---
    Part of our duties is ensuring
    adherence to proper social discipline.
[08:37] ---
    Adhere... what?
[08:41] ---
    In simpler terms, we must be
    strict with the Kingdom's people
[08:46] ---
    to help uphold the Kingdom's peace.
[08:48] ---
    Though this manner of conduct
    does not endear us to said people.
[08:52] ---
    I-I see.
[08:55] ---
    Yet His Royal Highness endures it.
[09:07] ---
    I think it's a wonderful kingdom.
[09:10] ---
    I do hope you come to like it.
[09:14] ---
    I'm... sure I will.
[09:18] ---
    When all this is over, I will search
    for a way to return you home.
[09:23] ---
    However, I cannot promise you
    that I will succeed.
[09:28] ---
    I beg of you,
[09:30] ---
    please lend us your power.
[09:34] ---
    I want to keep our Kingdom safe.
    I must see to it that it is protected!
[09:37] ---
    O-Oh, no, you don't have to--
[09:44] ---
    I get it now.
[09:46] ---
    He's extremely self-centered and awkward,
[09:51] ---
    and direct to a fault.
[09:56] ---
    Um, Prince Kyle?
[10:01] ---
    I don't know what it means
    to be the Saint,
[10:06] ---
    but I'll do what I must.
[10:14] ---
    A-And I'll do my best!
[10:53] ---
    --Incredible!
    --Excellent work.
[11:08] ---
    T'would seem your studies are going well.
[11:11] ---
    Really? I can't really tell if they are.
[11:14] ---
    But I'm having so much fun learning magic!
[11:19] ---
    I'm glad to hear that.
[11:21] ---
    We intend to have you assist
    on monster-killing expeditions.
[11:25] ---
    I'd be going with them?
[11:31] ---
    You need not worry. You will be joined
    by myself, Damian, and the others.
[11:37] ---
    We will keep you safe.
[11:41] ---
    Does that ease your worries?
[11:44] ---
    I'm not sure.
    I don't know if I'm scared, or...
[11:50] ---
    But...
[11:51] ---
    I will if I must. That's why I was
    Summoned here, right?
[12:03] ---
    You will be a most incredible Saint.
[12:06] ---
    I will prove it to them, one and all.
[12:10] ---
    Please, help me to save
    this Kingdom from destruction.
[12:14] ---
    I-I'll do my best!
[12:30] ---
    We've warned you a dozen times, yet
    you still insist on behaving like this?
[12:34] ---
    Prince Kyle has a fiancée.
[12:38] ---
    Do you understand what you're doing
    to her by constantly being around him?
[12:43] ---
    And the other boys, too. Do you even--
[12:46] ---
    Hey!
[12:47] ---
    What are you doing with her?
[12:49] ---
    Prince Kyle!
[12:50] ---
    Come, Aira.
[12:52] ---
    Coming!
[13:48] ---
    --I--
    --Good day!
[13:51] ---
    Oh? Waiting out the rain?
[13:53] ---
    Yes, I'm ashamed to admit
    I've forgotten my umbrella.
[13:56] ---
    You may join us under ours if you'd like.
[13:58] ---
    No, I couldn't impose.
[14:01] ---
    Please, I do insist.
[14:03] ---
    No, no, really, I couldn't.
[14:06] ---
    Too late, you're already here!
[14:10] ---
    Come now, shall we?
[14:12] ---
    Yes, let's.
[14:15] ---
    How lucky for you that we were passing by!
[14:18] ---
    Lucky indeed!
[14:19] ---
    Oh, how did you fare on the exam today?
[14:22] ---
    Not very well, I'm afraid...
[14:36] ---
    Lady Aira!
[14:42] ---
    My word!
[14:47] ---
    Don't worry. It's just water.
[15:16] ---
    See? All better.
[15:24] ---
    Oh, forgive me! I've never seen someone
    wield magic in such a precise manner.
[15:30] ---
    Incredible. You truly are completely dry.
[15:34] ---
    Oh, well, I'm not completely dry.
[15:38] ---
    I, uh, didn't want my hair
    or skin getting too dry,
[15:43] ---
    so I left a little bit of moisture
    there to, uh, help...
[16:05] ---
    This report is so astounding that its
    contents seem no more than falsehoods.
[16:10] ---
    Especially the statement that her
    holy-affinity magic has healed lost limbs.
[16:15] ---
    That's not all.
[16:16] ---
    The houses of Count Valdec,
    Margrave Hawke, and Marquis Drewes...
[16:22] ---
    All of those powerful houses have
    stepped in to provide her patronage.
[16:30] ---
    I turned my back on her because
    of her dull appearance!
[16:32] ---
    She looked to be no more than a servant,
    or a wet-nurse!
[16:35] ---
    Why would the Crown Prince address
    a woman so clearly beneath him?!
[16:38] ---
    Your Highness, forgive me my words,
[16:39] ---
    but it would do you well to understand
    the trappings of otherworldly cultures.
[16:42] ---
    I know that!
[16:44] ---
    It was mistake born of
    my own stubborn pride.
[16:48] ---
    But admitting that now could trigger
    another quarrel over my succession.
[16:54] ---
    The Second Prince would likely approach
    those aforementioned noble houses.
[17:00] ---
    Most importantly, what would happen
    to Aira if she were not the Saint?
[17:04] ---
    Even if she is not the Saint,
[17:07] ---
    as she is from another world, the Kingdom
    will find some other use for her.
[17:12] ---
    Which means living her life
    as a captive in the Palace.
[17:16] ---
    Would Aira want such a thing?
[17:20] ---
    Your Highness, with all due respect,
[17:22] ---
    I do not think she has
    a place in high society...
[17:25] ---
    That question was meant for myself.
    I know the answer.
[17:29] ---
    Aira had a place, a home,
    and I took that from her.
[17:32] ---
    As such, I must find her
    a new place to call home.
[17:36] ---
    That is my duty as the future King.
[17:40] ---
    What do you plan to do, then?
[17:42] ---
    Nothing, for now.
[17:43] ---
    I will continue on as planned
    until I can no longer.
[17:46] ---
    I will play the role of incompetent,
    stubborn crown prince.
[17:51] ---
    After witnessing my arbitrary,
    reckless behavior involving her,
[17:54] ---
    the court will take pity on her.
[17:57] ---
    I see.
[17:59] ---
    Though it will cause you much trouble.
[18:03] ---
    Handling that trouble is my duty
    as your future Prime Minister.
[18:15] ---
    May I have a moment of your time?
[18:17] ---
    I don't believe we've spoken before.
[18:19] ---
    I am Elizabeth Ashley,
    fiancée to Prince Kyle.
[18:27] ---
    As I'm sure many other young
    ladies have already warned you,
[18:30] ---
    it does not reflect favorably upon you
    to be so close to a man with a fianceé.
[18:37] ---
    If...
[18:40] ---
    If it would be all right with you,
    might I join you?
[18:45] ---
    Huh?
[18:46] ---
    What are you doing to her?
[18:49] ---
    Your Highness!
[18:53] ---
    Elizabeth, what business
    do you have with Aira?
[18:56] ---
    I only wished to speak
    with her for but a moment.
[18:59] ---
    That's all?
[19:01] ---
    Yes. Since Lady Aira always studies with
    you and your friends after classes,
[19:06] ---
    I thought I might offer her my assistance
    with her studies as well.
[19:12] ---
    That won't be necessary.
[19:14] ---
    I will look after Aira.
[19:23] ---
    Was that all?
[19:25] ---
    Oh, there you are.
[19:29] ---
    I've been looking for you, Brother.
[19:34] ---
    Good day to you, Prince Rayne.
[19:38] ---
    What is it?
[19:39] ---
    The Professor wishes to speak to you
    about next week's expedition.
[19:44] ---
    Very well. Come, Aira.
[19:58] ---
    Talk about bad timing.
[20:02] ---
    I only wished to help her,
    but he simply refuses to listen.
[20:07] ---
    That seems to be the case for anything
    that happens to concern Lady Aira.
[20:12] ---
    I've heard rumors that the other woman
    who was Summoned is the true Saint.
[20:18] ---
    How will everyone react, then, when only
    one woman is being put upon a pedestal?
[20:24] ---
    I even asked Sei for her thoughts,
    to no avail...
[20:28] ---
    You've met this other woman, Liz?
[20:31] ---
    I have!
[20:33] ---
    We've become fast friends
    over the past months.
[20:38] ---
    I'd like to befriend Lady Aira
    one day, too.
[20:54] ---
    If it would be all right with you...
[21:00] ---
    If she'd been able to finish talking,
    maybe we could've been friends.
[21:07] ---
    Next time I see her, I'll say hi.
[21:11] ---
    Even if I can't do it right,
    even if I'm awkward,
[21:15] ---
    I can be direct.
[22:52] ---
    I hear you've grown quite skilled
    at manipulating magic power.
[22:55] ---
    Is that right, Damian?
[22:56] ---
    Yes, I've never seen anyone with
    quite as much control as you.
[22:59] ---
    ...so I made them in secret
    so he wouldn't find out,
[23:02] ---
    but sure enough, he did, and this time,
    he really blew up at me!
[23:06] ---
    So now I've got a bunch. I'll give
    you some next time I see you.
[23:09] ---
    My, are you quite sure?
[23:11] ---
    Of course! I'm really proud of them,
    so I'm excited for you to try them!
[23:14] ---
    I can hardly wait!
[23:16] ---
    I wonder how they'll turn out today...
[23:22] ---
    Aira!
[23:27] ---
    Coming!
