[00:05] Illig
    How are you feeling, Brother?
[00:09] Beruid
    Much better, Mr. Illig.
[00:13] Balor
    Good. You'll be able to
    return to work, Beruid.
[00:17] Beruid
    Yes, Father, thanks to Mr. Illig's surgery.
[00:21] Illig
    As I've mentioned previously,
[00:24] ---
    please don't tell anyone that
    I performed surgery on you.
[00:27] Illig
    Not even your own mother.
[00:30] Beruid
    I know.
[00:33] Balor
    No wonder you're the next head of Tuatha Dé,
    a house famous for its medical techniques.
[00:37] Balor
    I can't thank you enough.
[00:40] Illig
    You don't need to thank me.
[00:42] Illig
    After all, Mr. Beruid is my brother.
[00:44] Balor
    I added the name Illig Balor to my family
    registry to repay a debt to your father,
[00:51] ---
    but I'm indebted to your family yet again.
[00:54] Balor
    How can I repay you?
[00:56] Illig
    Well, you could remain a family
    I can return to at any time.
[01:02] Balor
    That's certainly a good
    backup plan for an assassin.
[01:06] Balor
    Ah, that's right.
    I completed the adoption process.
[01:10] Balor
    These documents are real.
[01:12] Illig
    Thank you.
[01:14] Balor
    Our family has gained a new member.
[01:17] Illig
    Now you're officially my younger sister.
[01:21] Illig
    As of today, your name is...
[01:24] Illig
    Maha Balor.
[01:26] Maha
    Yes, Brother Illig.

[03:04] Illig
    Father, how can I help you today?
[03:08] Balor
    Take a look at this.
[03:10] Illig
    It's a nice shop. You could
    do anything with that.
[03:13] Balor
    The Balor Trading Company
    sells all kinds of products.
[03:17] Balor
    We provisionally made
    this shop a liquor store,
[03:21] Balor
    but it failed spectacularly,
    so we're moving on to the next idea.
[03:26] Balor
    I'd like you to run this store.
[03:28] Balor
    I'm sure you'll breathe new life into it.
[03:31] Illig
    It's only been six months since I came here.
[03:34] Balor
    Normally, I wouldn't ask you to
    do this, but you're exceptional.
[03:39] Balor
    Let me tell you something.
[03:41] Balor
    More than anything else, a merchant
    needs to be a good judge of character.
[03:45] Balor
    And I am a first-class merchant.
[03:48] Balor
    My judgment is telling me that you can do it.
[03:52] Illig
    Very well. I'll give it a shot.
[03:56] Illig
    I'm back.
[03:58] Tarte
    Welcome back, Mr. Illig.
[04:00] Maha
    Welcome back, Brother Illig.
[04:02] Illig
    Sorry I'm late.
[04:05] Maha
    Tarte and I made the soup.
[04:08] Maha
    I'm confident you'll like
    the bacon steak I made.
[04:10] Illig
    It looks good.
[04:12] Tarte
    My dish is just as good.
[04:15] Tarte
    Have some of this, Mr. Illig.
[04:21] Illig
    I received a new job from Father today.
[04:24] ---
    He put me in charge of a shop.
[04:26] Tarte
    Impressive work, Mr. Illig.
[04:28] Maha
    I'm proud of your achievements, Brother.
[04:31] Illig
    This will be a secret matter.
[04:34] Illig
    I'm going to do something completely
    different with this store.
[04:37] Tarte
    Something different?
[04:39] Illig
    There are two important goals for this job.
[04:42] Illig
    The first is to make money.
[04:43] Maha
    That will allow you to keep the
    store open for a long time.
[04:46] Illig
    The second is to stock
    merchandise targeted at nobles.
[04:50] Tarte
    In order to get closer to them.
[04:52] Tarte
    In other words, you plan to use
    the store for your assassinations.
[04:55] Illig
    So I'm going to create a store for women.
[04:58] Illig
    We'll sell primarily cosmetics,
    as well as sweets.
[05:01] Tarte
    How wonderful.
[05:04] Maha
    But there are many famous shops
    like that in Milteu already.
[05:07] Maha
    Won't it be difficult to enter the market?
[05:10] Illig
    I have a plan.
[05:18] Illig
    I am currently 13 years old.
[05:21] Illig
    In other words, I must assassinate
    the Hero within five years.
[05:25] Illig
    And to do that, I need to become stronger.
[05:36] Illig
    All right.
[05:37] Both
    Thank you.
[05:42] Illig
    Tarte was abandoned by her parents.
[05:44] Illig
    Maha lost hers.
[05:47] Illig
    They occasionally seek human warmth.
[05:51] Maha
    I hope the job goes well.
[05:53] Tarte
    You have our support.
[05:55] Illig
    Thank you. I'm able to work
    so hard because of you two.
[05:58] Maha
    Let us know if there's anything we can do.
[06:00] Tarte
    We'll do anything to help.
[06:02] Illig
    I'm counting on it.
[06:05] Illig
    Both of them are infatuated with me.
[06:07] Illig
    The Balor family trusts me completely, too.
[06:11] Illig
    I've acquired good pawns.
[06:14] Illig
    All according to plan.
[06:22] Illig
    Father, Mother, thank you
    for making time for me.
[06:26] Balor
    You work quickly, Illig.
[06:28] Balor
    I can't believe you created
    a prototype in two days.
[06:31] Mira
    You'd better not have brought
    us something useless.
[06:35] Mira
    Regardless, given you are his
    bastard son, I hardly like you.
[06:39] Illig
    I believe I have something that
    will meet your expectations.
[06:43] Illig
    I plan to make cosmetics
    my new store's key product.
[06:47] Balor
    But brand matters more than quality
    when it comes to cosmetics.
[06:50] Balor
    It's difficult to make it as
    a newcomer in that market.
[06:53] Illig
    I'm sure it would be, if I were
    selling an existing cosmetic.
[06:57] Illig
    Cosmetics make women beautiful.
[07:00] Illig
    But removing cosmetics takes
    the skin's oil with it.
[07:04] Illig
    Without oil, the skin's moisture escapes,
[07:06] ---
    causing the skin to dry out
    and suffer further damage.
[07:10] Mira
    I won't deny that.
[07:12] Mira
    But we use cosmetics for
    beauty in spite of that.
[07:15] Illig
    The cost of using them is damaged skin.
[07:19] Illig
    I want to free women from that problem.
[07:23] Illig
    That's what this product does.
[07:26] Illig
    I call it moisturizer.
[07:29] Illig
    Lotions and moisturizers don't
    exist in this world yet.
[07:33] Illig
    In other words, this is this
    world's first moisturizer.
[07:36] Mira
    Moisturizer? How does it work?
[07:39] Illig
    It's a cosmetic that moisturizes dry
    skin and preserves its condition.
[07:56] Illig
    Makeups dress up a person in false
    beauty, but this is different.
[08:01] Illig
    Rather than decorating, this product
    heals and protects the skin.
[08:04] Illig
    It makes the skin beautiful to begin with.
[08:07] Mira
    I don't believe it.
    My skin is so moist and smooth.
[08:11] Mira
    It's been so long since my skin was like this.
[08:14] Balor
    Is this oil?
[08:16] Balor
    No, it's too fresh for that.
[08:19] Illig
    That's precisely what moisturizer is.
[08:21] Mira
    This is marvelous.
[08:23] Mira
    I can tell how happy my skin is.
[08:26] Illig
    The moisturizer also serves as
    armor that protects the skin.
[08:29] Illig
    Try applying makeup over it.
[08:32] Mira
    I shall.
[08:36] Illig
    This will revolutionize cosmetics.
[08:39] Illig
    It won't replace existing cosmetics.
[08:42] Illig
    Applying this moisturizer in addition
    to cosmetics will become the norm.
[08:47] Balor
    I see.
[08:48] Mira
    You're right. The makeup sits
    on top of it wonderfully.
[08:53] Illig
    Do you like it?
[08:56] Mira
    I hate you.
[08:59] Mira
    But I'll be keeping this.
[09:02] Balor
    Mira, do you think your friends
    would want that moisturizer, too?
[09:06] Mira
    I can't imagine a woman
    who wouldn't want this.
[09:11] Mira
    I came here intending to mock and
    disparage whatever you made, Illig,
[09:16] Mira
    but that thought has been
    banished from my mind.
[09:19] Mira
    I'd call this whore's child my own son if it
    meant I could get more of this moisturizer.
[09:25] Balor
    You like it that much?
[09:29] Balor
    I'll focus the Balor Trading Company's
    resources on this moisturizer.
[09:33] Balor
    Mira, distribute it to your friends
    and spread the word about it.
[09:38] Balor
    Illig, how much can you produce in a week?
[09:41] Illig
    Currently, it's just me, so I can
    make 200 bottles a week at most.
[09:45] Balor
    You can hire more people.
[09:47] Illig
    If you don't mind people finding
    out how it's produced, then I will.
[09:51] Illig
    The moment we start selling the moisturizer,
    other companies will think to copy us.
[09:56] Balor
    I was too hasty.
[09:59] Balor
    How long will it take to
    set up mass production?
[10:02] Illig
    About a month.
[10:04] Illig
    But there is one problem.
[10:06] Balor
    What is it?
[10:08] Illig
    This product combines water and oil,
    two substances that don't normally mix.
[10:14] Illig
    Producing it requires a
    secret Tuatha Dé medicine.
[10:17] Balor
    Tuatha Dé?
[10:19] Illig
    These are the estimated
    necessary expenditures.
[10:23] Balor
    The cost is no problem,
    but Tuatha Dé is rather far from here.
[10:27] Illig
    That's what makes the secret
    so difficult to uncover.
[10:30] Illig
    I can't make the moisturizer
    without this medicine.
[10:33] Illig
    In Tuatha Dé, we can protect this secret,
[10:36] ---
    and I can make them promise not
    to sell it to other companies.
[10:43] Balor
    I see. Very well, I'll allow it.
[10:46] Balor
    You'll handle the negotiations.
[10:48] Illig
    Understood.
[10:54] Tarte
    Sounds like it'll go well.
[10:56] Illig
    Yes. We need lecithin to mix oil and water.
[10:59] Illig
    It's made from soybeans.
[11:01] Illig
    They can be grown in Tuatha Dé.
[11:03] Tarte
    If we're able to sell a lot of this,
    it will benefit Tuatha Dé, as well.
[11:07] Tarte
    And even if people find
    out where it's produced,
[11:10] ---
    nobody could sneak onto the land of
    noble assassins and steal their secrets.
[11:15] Illig
    I won't teach the Balor Trading Company
    how to produce lecithin, either.
[11:19] Illig
    It'll guarantee they can't cast me aside
    once I'm no longer useful to them.
[11:23] Tarte
    Impressive as always, Mr. Illig.
[11:25] Illig
    Yes. Everything's going according to plan.

[11:36] Kerry
    Please get in line if you're visiting Orna!
[11:42] Connor
    Thank you for waiting.
[11:44] Connor
    The Balor Trading Company's cosmetics
    brand store Orna is now open.
[11:49] Michelle
    Stay calm and take your
    time entering the store.
[11:54] Ifa
    I'm sorry, but we're limiting each
    customer to two bottles of moisturizer.
[11:59] Customer A
    Really?
[12:00] Customer A
    But I've been in line since this morning.
[12:02] Ifa
    I'm terribly sorry.
[12:06] Noine
    Assistant manager, I've got
    a message from the factory.
[12:09] Noine
    They should be able to ship
    more emulsions this afternoon.
[12:11] Maha
    Got it. We'll run a tie-in sale
    for the additional product.
[12:15] Noine
    Yes, ma'am. I'll check our inventory.
[12:17] Maha
    Noine, wait.
[12:21] Maha
    This is a cosmetics shop.
[12:23] Maha
    Employees should keep their
    makeup looking sharp.
[12:26] Maha
    There. You look lovely, Noine.
[12:28] Noine
    Thank you, Maha.
[12:32] Illig
    I never thought Orna would grow
    this much in just six months.
[12:36] Tarte
    We've received invitations
    from the lords of Milteu,
[12:39] ---
    as well as princesses from
    neighboring kingdoms.
[12:43] Illig
    Orna's Illig Balor is a famous man.
[12:46] Illig
    I can sneak in anywhere now.
    This has been a huge success.
[12:50] Tarte
    Yes, sir. The shop overflows
    with your kindness.
[12:55] Illig
    What makes you say that?
[12:58] Tarte
    You hired Maha's friends.
[13:01] Tarte
    Everyone's so lively.
    They seem to be having fun.
[13:04] Illig
    It wasn't me who chose them.
    It was Maha's decision.
[13:08] Tarte
    Still.
[13:10] Illig
    Young women with beautiful skin make
    perfect representatives for the store.
[13:15] Illig
    Because they've been close since they were
    children, she has good control over them.
[13:18] Illig
    They're quick learners, too.
[13:21] Illig
    Because of that, the store
    has been growing quickly.
[13:23] Illig
    It's a good plan.
[13:24] Tarte
    Mr. Illig, you're not very honest.
[13:27] Illig
    You sound like my mother.
[13:29] Illig
    Anyway, how's security?
[13:31] Tarte
    Spies sent by our competitors
    sneak into the factory daily.
[13:35] Tarte
    They bribe our employees daily, too.
[13:37] Tarte
    But they haven't figured out
    how to acquire lecithin.
[13:41] Illig
    Good, but they should be
    running out of patience soon.
[13:50] Illig
    Many people want to sell moisturizer,
[13:52] Illig
    but they can't steal
    our production method.
[13:55] Illig
    It's only logical that they'd target
    someone who definitely knows it.
[13:59] Illig
    I sense one person.
[14:01] Illig
    They're approaching this bedroom.
[14:04] Illig
    They're rather skilled, too.
    They're a first-class spy.
[14:07] Illig
    They probably intend to kidnap me and
    extract our production method from me.
[14:11] Illig
    But...
[14:27] Tarte
    I applied a neurotoxin to the blade.
[14:29] Tarte
    They won't be able to lift a finger.
[14:34] Maha
    Intruder secured.
[14:37] Illig
    I'm impressed the two of
    you noticed the intruder.
[14:39] Illig
    I'm proud of you.
[14:41] Tarte
    I'm pleased to hear that.
[14:43] Maha
    It motivates me for what comes next.
[14:55] Illig
    I made some herbal tea.
[14:57] Tarte
    Thank you, Mr. Illig.
[14:59] Maha
    You could've gone to sleep without us.
[15:02] Illig
    You've stripped him naked to humiliate
    him and make him feel powerless.
[15:06] Illig
    You remembered the basics of torture.
[15:09] Tarte
    You can't say that out loud.
[15:11] Tarte
    If he hears you, it won't be as effective.
[15:15] Maha
    Should we let you live if you tell us who
    hired you, or shall we kill you regardless?
[15:25] Maha
    You have to choose.
    It changes how much we'll break you.
[15:29] Tarte
    You're going to let someone who
    attempted to hurt Mr. Illig live?
[15:35] Maha
    I just thought I'd ask.
[15:38] Illig
    Prisoners rarely confess unless you give
    them hope that they'll be allowed to live.
[15:43] Maha
    It's all right. I'll assume you
    want us to kill him quickly.

    Thank you.
[17:01] Illig
    Tarte and Maha, do you have
    any plans for your day off?
[17:04] Tarte
    I'm going shopping with Maha.
[17:06] Illig
    Have fun.
[17:07] Maha
    We will.
[17:08] Illig
    I'll be back late tonight. See you later.
[17:18] Tarte
    He's gone.
[17:19] Maha
    I feel lonely on this one day every month.
[17:23] Tarte
    I'm his servant.
[17:25] Maha
    And I'm his sister.
[17:34] Tarte
    Shall we treat ourselves to a special meal?

    Yeah, let's go all-out.

    What's this?
[18:17] Lugh
    You completed this?
[18:18] Dia
    Surprised?
[18:20] Lugh
    I'll transcribe it immediately.
[18:23] Lugh
    All right. You should be
    able to cast this spell now.
[18:26] Dia
    Got it. Here we go.
[18:29] Dia
    Esrever ytivarg.
[18:35] Lugh
    A gravity reversal spell.
[18:37] Lugh
    You got me. I can't believe
    you beat me to it.
[18:40] Dia
    I approached it from a different angle.
[18:42] Dia
    Have you gained a little
    respect for your big sister?
[18:45] Illig
    I already respected you.
[18:49] Dia
    Is that the gift you brought?
[18:51] Lugh
    Yes.
[18:51] Dia
    Huh... Black treats don't
    look particularly nice.
[18:59] Dia
    But they're bittersweet, rich, and tasty!
[19:02] Lugh
    I'd been thinking about selling
    sweets under the Orna brand, too.
[19:05] Dia
    Good idea. They go well with tea.
[19:08] Dia
    They'd probably make a nice cake, too.
[19:10] Lugh
    I see. I'll bring more next month.
[19:13] Dia
    Okay. I look forward to it.
[20:02] Dia
    It's already time to say goodbye.
[20:05] Lugh
    I'm sorry. I'll be back next month.
[20:48] Tarte
    Good morning.
[20:49] Lugh
    Good morning.
[20:51] Maha
    You were fast asleep.
[20:53] Illig
    Yeah. I used too much mana.
[20:59] Tarte
    Do you smell something odd?
[21:02] Maha
    You're right. What is that?
[21:05] Illig
    What...
[21:09] Maha
    Is it coming from under the sheets?
[21:12] Illig
    Wait!
[21:14] Illig
    This is a common phenomenon
    among adolescent males.
[21:18] Illig
    The parasympathetic nervous system
[21:20] Illig
    becomes dominant during sleep,
    which weakens inhibitions.
[21:22] Illig
    It's easier to enter this state
    due to subconscious excitement
[21:25] ---
    caused by dreams and accidental
    stimulation than when one is awake.
[21:29] Illig
    I promise this isn't what you think—
[21:29] Tarte
    Mr. Illig!
[21:31] Illig
    Yes?
[21:31] Tarte
    From now on, let me take care of this.
[21:35] Tarte
    I'm your personal servant.
    I can help you in this way, too.
[21:38] Maha
    Brother Illig.
[21:40] Illig
    Yes?
[21:40] Maha
    You call me your sister,
    but your body is honest.
[21:44] Illig
    Huh?
[21:45] Maha
    Sometimes I think perhaps I could
    be both your sister and your lover
[21:49] ---
    rather than choosing one or the other.
[21:51] Tarte
    It's absolutely necessary that
    I take care of you in this way.
[21:53] Maha
    I don't think we need to
    think too deeply about it.
[21:55] Tarte
    You wouldn't want to get too pent-up.
[21:57] Maha
    We don't have to force ourselves to choose.
[22:00] Illig
    Is this part of my plan, too?
[23:36] Illig
    Next time, "Rites of Choice."
