[00:05] LUNA
    So this is Avancia?
[00:08] LUNA
    It's a tranquil town.
[00:10] RUD
    Yeah. There's not much out here
    in the country, but it's a nice place.
[00:14] RUD
    I hope you like it.
[00:17] MILENA
    Rud!
[00:22] MILENA
    How long ya staying this time?
[00:24] MILENA
    If you're here for a while,
    let's hang out. Just the two of us.
[00:30] FILLE
    Rud! So today's the day
    you were coming back, huh?
[00:38] RUD
    It's good to see you two.
[00:40] RUD
    What brought you here?
[00:43] MILENA
    I'm buying a hammer.
[00:45] MILENA
    And Fille's on patrol, aren't you?
[00:47] FILLE
    Yeah. I went to check on
    Manicia, too. She's doing well.
[00:52] RUD
    I see.
[00:54] RUD
    Thanks. I don't have to worry
    when I go off on adventures,
[00:58] RUD
    because the whole town
    watches out for my sister.
[01:01] FILLE
    There's no need to thank us.
[01:03] MILENA
    By the way, who's this?
[01:06] RUD
    This is Luna. I met her on my travels.
[01:08] RUD
    She has nowhere to go,
    so I thought I'd look after her for a while.
[01:14] MILENA
    I see.
[01:16] MILENA
    Hello, Luna. I'm Milena,
    the blacksmith's poster girl.
[01:20] MILENA
    Nice to meet you.
[01:23] MILENA
    C'mon, you're next.
[01:24] FILLE
    What? Uh, I'm Fille.
[01:29] FILLE
    I work as a sub-leader for the town watch.
[01:33] RUD
    Fille's shy.
[01:35] FILLE
    Don't say that, Rud!

[03:18] RUD
    My sister might be sleeping.
[03:22] RUD
    Be quiet so we don't wake her.
[03:25] RUD/M
    This smell...
[03:27] RUD/M
    They're all tomato dishes I love.
[03:35] MANICIA
    Welcome home, dear brother.
[03:40] MANICIA
    Who's she?
[03:51] RUD
    I'm home, Manicia!
[03:54] RUD
    This is Luna. I met her on my way here.
[03:57] RUD
    She's going through some stuff.
    I invited her to come stay with us.
[04:01] MANICIA
    I see.
[04:03] RUD/M
    Ah, I haven't seen Manicia in forever!
[04:05] RUD/M
    She's so cute.
[04:07] RUD/M
    For a moment, I thought
    a goddess had descended.
[04:11] MANICIA
    It's nice to meet you, Luna. I'm Manicia.
[04:14] MANICIA
    I can't offer you much,
    but please make yourself at home.
[04:19] LUNA
    Thank you.
[04:21] MANICIA
    Come on, dear brother.
    You must be tired from your long journey.
[04:25] MANICIA
    Have a seat and eat.
[04:29] MANICIA
    I'll prepare a second serving.
[04:31] RUD
    Wait. You're still weak.
    You shouldn't strain yourself.
[04:34] MANICIA
    I'm feeling good today. I'll be fine.
[04:37] RUD
    Uh, in that case, let's cook together. Okay?
[04:40] MANICIA
    All right. Let's do that, then.
[04:43] LUNA
    U-Um, Ms. Manicia's hair...
[04:46] RUD
    Oh, right. Is this your first time seeing
    someone with a physical idiosyncrasy?
[04:50] RUD
    In Manicia's case, it's her hair.
    It moves according to her emotions.
[04:56] LUNA
    I see.
[04:58] RUD
    Manicia, you seemed to know I was coming
    home. Was that because of your skill?
[05:04] MANICIA
    Yes. It was just a feeling I had.
[05:07] RUD
    And you made my favorite
    dishes just off a feeling?
[05:11] RUD
    You're gonna make me cry tears of joy.
[05:14] MANICIA
    Are you an idiot?
[05:16] LUNA
    You two are very close.
[05:18] MANICIA
    Isn't this normal?
[05:24] MANICIA
    Aren't you supposed to
     be helping, dear brother?
[05:31] BOTH
    Thanks for the meal.
[05:35] MANICIA
    That's an unusual way to hold a spoon, Luna.
[05:40] LUNA
    I-I'm sorry.
[05:43] LUNA
    I've only used one a handful of times.
[05:56] LUNA
    I'm sorry.
[05:58] LUNA
    I'll get it right next time.
[06:00] RUD
    Hey, Luna...
[06:00] MANICIA
    No need to apologize.
[06:08] MANICIA
    This is how you hold one.
[06:17] MANICIA
    I'll teach you things one at a time,
    so take your time learning, okay?
[06:24] LUNA
    Thank you.
[06:41] LUNA
    Mr. Rud, Ms. Manicia, good morning.
[06:47] RUD
    You made all this yourself?
[06:48] LUNA
    Yes. These are all things Ms. Manicia has
    taught me how to make over the past three days.
[06:56] BOTH
    So good!
[06:57] RUD/M
    It tastes exactly like Manicia's cooking.
[07:00] RUD/M
    Luna has mastered every basic
    life skill in a short amount of time.
[07:06] RUD/M
    Is this how quickly homunculi learn?
[07:10] MANICIA
    Dear brother.
[07:13] MANICIA
    It's nice out today.
     Why don't we show Luna around town?
[07:18] RUD
    Good idea. I'd like to
    introduce her to everyone.
[07:22] MANICIA
    Okay, I'll lend you some
    of my clothes to go out in.
[07:26] MANICIA
    I have some I think will look nice on you.
[07:29] RUD/M
    Manicia's so cute when
    she's acting like a big sister.
[07:33] MANICIA
    But these clothes are
    a bit difficult to put on.
[07:37] MANICIA
    Shall I help you change?
[07:42] LUNA
    I-I'm sorry.
[07:44] LUNA
    I can get changed by myself.
[07:48] MANICIA
    Did I do something to upset her?
[07:51] RUD/M
    She was probably worried about
    Manicia noticing her magic stone.
[08:01] RUD
    Avancia doesn't have an
     adventurers' guild or a church.
[08:05] RUD
    It has one blacksmith
    and one apothecary.
[08:07] RUD
    Its most remarkable feature
    is probably the nearby orchard.
[08:11] RAISIL
    Well, if it isn't Rud.
[08:14] RAISIL
    Here to make a granddaughter
     with my daughter?
[08:17] RUD
    No, Mr. Raisil.
[08:20] RUD
    Luna, this is Milena's father.
[08:22] RAISIL
    I've heard about you.
    Nice to meet you, miss.
[08:25] LUNA
    Th-Thank you.
[08:28] RUD
    Oh, right. Mr. Raisil.
[08:31] RAISIL
    I see. So your magic sword
     was taken from you.
[08:35] RAISIL
    All right! It's a favor for you, after all.
[08:40] RAISIL
    I'll make you something
    incredible in no time.
[08:43] RUD
    Thank you.
[08:45] RAISIL
    Do you mind if my daughter helps out?
[08:47] RAISIL
    Like me, she's quite skilled.
[08:50] RUD
    Go right ahead.
[08:52] RUD
    I'll come by again when it's done.
[08:54] RAISIL
    Oh, wait. Why don't you show
    Luna the monstrous farm?
[09:01] RUD
    Put simply, monstrous vegetables
    are plants that grow into monsters.
[09:05] RUD
    They only need mana to grow,
     so they can be grown year-round.
[09:10] RUD
    They're nutritious, too.
[09:12] CHILD C
    Hey, it's Rud.
[09:14] CHILD B
    Oh, he's got a girlfriend!
[09:16] RUD
    She's not my girlfriend. This girl's name
    is Luna. We're traveling companions.
[09:20] CHILD B
    Now that I think about it,
    you'd never get a girlfriend.
[09:22] CHILD C
    You're obsessed with your sis.
[09:24] RUD
    Who taught you to say that?
[09:27] BOTH
    That's what Fille said.
[09:30] GIGI
    You kids!
[09:33] GIGI
    Why are you hanging around?
[09:36] GIGI
    Get back to work.
[09:48] BOTH
    It's Grandma Gigi!
[09:51] RUD
    I see you're as energetic as ever.
[09:53] GIGI
    Well, if it isn't Rud.
[09:59] GIGI
    And your girlfriend?
[10:00] RUD
    No!
[10:02] RUD
    Luna, this is Grandma Gigi.
[10:05] RUD
    She's the town's apothecary.
[10:07] RUD
    She makes medicines for Manicia.
[10:11] GIGI
    It's nice to meet you, Luna.
[10:13] LUNA
    Th-Thank you.
[10:16] GIGI
    She reminds me of how Manicia used to be.
[10:23] RUD
    Yeah.
[10:25] GIGI
    I wish I could've done more to help.
[10:28] GIGI
    But my medicines can only do so much for her.
[10:31] RUD
    You've done plenty.
[10:33] RUD
    She says she feels a lot
    better now, thanks to you.
[10:37] GIGI
    Oh, really?
[10:38] GIGI
    If you need anything, Luna,
    come visit my shop anytime.
[10:43] GIGI
    All you youngsters are like my children.
[10:46] GIGI
    Oh, right.
[10:48] GIGI
    I'm about to harvest some spinach.
[10:51] GIGI
    Would you like to come with me?
[10:53] GUARD A
    Oh? Rud finally brought a woman home.
[10:56] GUARD B
    Are you over your sister?
[11:00] GUARD C
    Okay, don't go crazy today.
[11:24] RUD
    Sorry.
[11:26] RUD
    Out here in the sticks, their only
     entertainment is other people's romances.
[11:30] LUNA
    It's fine.
[11:32] RUD
    In your case, since you're so pretty,
     everyone wants to look after you all the more.
[11:37] LUNA
    What?
[11:37] RUD
    Oh, uh, nothing. Wh-Why don't you try
    some of those freshly picked veggies?
[11:41] LUNA
    R-Right.
[11:46] LUNA
    It's good.
[11:48] RUD
    I'm glad. The others will
    be delighted to hear that.
[11:53] RUD
    I know the pace of life is slower in
    this town than in others, but I like it here.
[12:01] RUD
    What did you think, Luna?
[12:05] LUNA
    Everyone is so considerate.
[12:08] LUNA
    I'm glad I got to come to such a nice town.
[12:12] LUNA
    I'd be so happy if I could stay here forever.
[12:22] LUNA
    Do you recognize this thing on my chest?
[12:27] RUD
    It's a magic stone.
[12:30] LUNA
    That's right.
[12:32] LUNA
    You may find this hard to believe,
[12:35] LUNA
    but I'm not human.
[12:38] LUNA
    I'm a battle homunculus that was developed
    in the neighboring nation of Brunkels.
[12:44] LUNA
    I'm sorry for not telling you sooner.
[12:48] LUNA
    I didn't want to.
[12:51] LUNA
    I thought you'd kill me
    if you knew I was a homunculus.
[12:57] LUNA
    But you rescued me.
[13:01] LUNA
    It hurt me to continue lying to you.
[13:06] RUD
    Sorry.
[13:08] RUD
    There's something I haven't told you, too.
[13:11] RUD
    I actually knew you were a homunculus.
[13:16] RUD
    I happened to see your
     magic stone when we first met.
[13:19] LUNA
    Then, why did you help me?
[13:24] RUD
    Before coming here,
    Manicia and I lived in the slums.
[13:29] RUD
    Your eyes looked like hers did back then.
[13:33] RUD
    I couldn't just leave you.
[13:35] RUD
    But even when we lived there,
    we never forgot how it felt to be human.
[13:42] RUD
    What about you?
[13:45] RUD
    Will you live as a homunculus or as a human?
[13:49] RUD
    Will you tell me how you feel?
[13:55] LUNA
    But I'm a homunculus.
[13:58] LUNA
    That's unrealistic.
[14:02] RUD
    Is it? I've never heard that
    homunculi can't become humans.
[14:08] RUD
    Besides, I enter labyrinths
    for a similar reason.
[14:13] RUD
    To cure Manicia's illness, I'm searching for the
     Secret Treasure that may or may not exist.
[14:21] RUD
    So we're both chasing shadows.
[14:26] RUD
    Don't you think we'd get along?
[14:33] LUNA
    I...
[14:35] LUNA/M
    In this place...
[14:38] LUNA/M
    With this person...
[14:41] LUNA/M
    Perhaps I could wish for that.
[14:45] LUNA
    I...
[14:47] LUNA
    would like to live as a human.
[14:51] RUD
    Okay.
[14:53] RUD
    Then I look forward to knowing you, Luna.
[14:55] LUNA
    Thank you. I look forward
    to it as well, master.
[14:58] RUD
    What? Doesn't "master" sound like
    something a homunculus would say?
[15:03] LUNA
    Does it?
[15:05] LUNA
    But for some reason,
    I wanted to call you that.
[15:10] RUD
    I see.
[15:14] LUNA
    Ms. Manicia, there's something
     I'd like to discuss with you.
[15:20] RUD
    Are you sure?
[15:21] LUNA
    Yes. I don't want to hide it
    from those I'm close to.
[15:26] LUNA
    I am a homunculus.
[15:29] LUNA
    I'm sorry for not telling you sooner.
[15:35] MANICIA
    I did think you were a little different.
[15:39] MANICIA
    Will you keep being my friend?
[15:43] LUNA
    Of course.
[15:48] MANICIA
    You knew everything, didn't you?
[15:53] MANICIA
    You help those who no one else will.
[15:57] MANICIA
    You always, always have, dear brother.
[16:05] RUD
    It's finally over.
[16:11] LUNA
    Good work today, master.
[16:13] RUD
    You, too, Luna. Sorry for
    having you help us clean.
[16:18] LUNA
    It's all right.
[16:19] LUNA
    Still, this is an incredible mansion.
[16:25] MANICIA
    I made tea, everyone.
[16:28] GUARD A
    What?!
[16:28] GUARD B
    Tea made by Manicia?!
[16:31] GUARDS
    Hurry!
[16:32] GUARDS
    Move!
[16:33] LUNA
    Ms. Manicia certainly is popular.
[16:35] LUNA
    Huh?
[16:36] RUD
    The first cup is mine!
[16:45] RUD
    Being first to drink your tea
    makes it taste even better.
[16:49] MANICIA
    It's all the same.
[16:51] FILLE
    You really are obsessed
    with your sis, Rud.
[16:53] RUD
    Stop saying that.
[16:56] RUD
    How are you feeling, Manicia?
[16:57] RUD
    I know you said you felt good today,
    but you've been helping around the place.
[17:01] MANICIA
    All I did was make tea.
    You worry too much, dear brother.
[17:04] RUD
    But...
[17:07] MANICIA
    I may not be in great health,
[17:10] MANICIA
    but I don't want to hold you back.
[17:13] RUD
    Manicia...
[17:15] RUD
    I'm always telling you, I've never
    once felt like you're holding me back.
[17:19] GUARD A
    Hey, Rud! Now that we're done cleaning,
    let's duel. It's been a while.
[17:24] LUNA
    D-Duel?
[17:26] RUD
    It's not for real.
[17:29] RUD/M
    This is perfect, actually.
[17:31] RUD
    Guys, mind if we fight after I duel Fille?
[17:35] FILLE
    Me?
[17:38] FILLE
    I see. You want to test your previously
    unknown skills in a mock battle.
[17:44] RUD
    Yeah, and I figure I won't have to hold back
     against the town guard's sub-leader.
[17:50] FILLE
    The one whose absorb shield
    is depleted more loses. Sound good?
[17:54] RUD
    Yeah.
[17:57] GUARD A
    All right...
[17:58] GUARD A
    Begin!
[18:02] LUNA
    They're not moving.
[18:04] GUARD B
    Neither of their fighting
    styles emphasize speed.
[18:07] GUARD C
    But the first to move will be...
[18:15] RUD/M
    Such a heavy blow.
[18:26] RUD/M
    Fille's gotten stronger
    since we last fought.
[18:32] RUD/M
    If one of those lands, I've lost.
[18:34] LUNA
    Ms. Fille is strong.
[18:37] MANICIA
    They're called the town guard, but they're just
     the youngsters who didn't move to the city.
[18:41] MANICIA
    Few of them are skilled fighters.
[18:46] MANICIA
    But Fille and my brother are special.
[18:50] MANICIA
    They should be putting their
    skills to use in a bigger city.
[18:55] LUNA
    I see.
[18:56] GUARD A
    Get him, Fille!
[18:59] GUARD B
    Knock Rud on his butt for once!
[19:02] LUNA
    Master!
[19:03] LUNA
    You can do it!
[19:05] MANICIA
    Brother!
[19:10] FILLE
    Looking away? You must be confident.
[19:14] RUD/M
    I suffered a scratch, but it's not a problem.
[19:16] RUD/M
    I'll use this damage to...
[19:20] GUARD A
    He's off balance!
[19:21] GUARD B
    Now's your chance, Fille!
[19:26] FILLE
    What?
[19:35] FILLE
    That one blow took out my absorb shield?
[19:39] GUARD A
    Rud's finally learned an offensive skill.
[19:42] GUARD B
    Doesn't Fille have a 2,500 value shield?
[19:45] GUARD C
    How strong is his skill
    to blow through all that?
[19:48] RUD
    You've gotten stronger.
[19:50] FILLE
    But I didn't stand a chance against you.
[19:55] FILLE
    Anyway, what was that
    incredible skill just now?
[19:58] RUD
    Oh, right. It's called Life Conversion.
[20:01] RUD
    It allows me to convert the
     depleted shield power into strength.
[20:06] RUD
    I can't use it all the time,
[20:08] RUD
    but that mock battle taught me its
    offensive power is nothing to sneeze at.
[20:13] RUD
    Thanks.
[20:15] FILLE
    I'm glad I was able to help.
[20:19] RUD/M
    Until now, I've focused
    on defending as a tank.
[20:24] RUD/M
    But going forward, thanks to Life Conversion,
    I'll be able to participate in attacking.
[20:31] RUD
    Okay. Who's next?
[20:33] GUARD B
    S-Something just came up.
[20:35] GUARD C
    Oh, no! My stomach!
[20:37] LUNA
    That was amazing.
[20:39] MANICIA
    You're right.
[20:41] MANICIA
    My brother is truly amazing.
[20:43] MANICIA
    In comparison, I'm...
[20:48] (Flashback) MANICIA
    Mommy... Daddy... Brother...
[20:51] (Flashback) MANICIA
    Where did you go?
[20:54] (Flashback) TOWNIE A
    Apparently, she was abandoned.
[20:56] (Flashback) TOWNIE B
    They say she has an incurable disease.
[20:58] (Flashback) TOWNIE C
    They're just going to raise
    their older child, Rud, right?
[21:01] (Flashback) TOWNIE C
    I saw them dragging him away.
[21:07] (Flashback) TOWNIE A
    The way she's looking,
    I doubt she'll last long.
[21:14] (Flashback) RUD
    Manicia!
[21:19] (Flashback) RUD

    Brother!
[21:29] MANICIA/M
    Another dream about back then.
[21:33] MANICIA/M

    But is my brother happy?
[21:42] MANICIA/M

[21:46] MANICIA/M
    could my brother be living more freely?
