[00:01] Makoto
    Fall, when skies are clear
    and horses grow stout.
[00:05] Makoto
    I still feel like I'm on summer break.
[00:08] Shiki
    The academy festival is approaching.
[00:10] Shiki
    It's understandable that
    you'd feel restless.
[00:15] Makoto
    The academy festival of the hyumans'
    greatest academy city, Rotsgard,
[00:17] Makoto
    is as impressive as you'd expect.
[00:19] Makoto
    People gather from all over,
    and every shop is filled to capacity.
[00:24] Makoto
    Lasting an entire week,
[00:26] Makoto
    it's an event that livens up
    the city like no other.
[00:29] Makoto
    I'm surprised.
[00:31] Makoto
    I didn't know a competitive
    tournament was involved, too.
[00:33] Shiki
    Your students are rather excited about it.
[00:36] Shiki
    Guests are invited from Limia and Gritonia
[00:39] Shiki
    to evaluate the next generation's
    talent through diplomatic conferences.
[00:45] Makoto
    So it's like a job-hunting
    fair for the students.
[00:50] Makoto
    I hope nothing bad happens.

[02:28] Shiki
    Young Master.
[02:30] Shiki
    I'd like to discuss our inventory
    for the duration of the festival.
[02:34] Makoto
    The list of additional items
    should arrive tonight.
[02:36] Makoto
    We can decide after that.
[02:38] Luto
    Makoto-kun!
[02:40] Luto
    Let's check out the festival together.
[02:43] Makoto
    Tomoe and Mio will be coming that day.
[02:45] Makoto
    Why don't you go with them?
[02:47] Luto
    You're no fun.
[02:49] Makoto
    Don't sit up there.
[02:51] Shiki
    Regarding additional staff for the store...
[02:53] Makoto
    The Elder Dwarves would
    probably be a good fit.
[02:56] Luto
    You truly are kind to demihumans.
[02:59] Luto
    Or do you just hate hyumans?
[03:02] Makoto
    Luto, let me be blunt...
[03:06] Makoto
    Get out of here.
[03:09] Luto
    Whoops. Looks like I'm actually intruding.
[03:12] Luto
    Guess I'll go do some work at the guild.
[03:16] Shiki
    Luto-dono never changes, does he?
[03:18] Makoto
    I'm shocked he of all
    people is the guildmaster.
[03:22] Makoto
    He'll be meeting important
    people at the festival.
[03:25] Makoto
    He said he uses the name "False" with them.
[03:28] Shiki
    I hear he once conducted rather
    intriguing experiments.
[03:33] Shiki
    I'd like to know more about his research.
[03:36] Makoto
    I thought you left...
[03:40] Shinai
    Thank you for meeting me
    on such short notice.
[03:44] Shinai
    My name is Shinai. I am a temple priest.
[03:51] Makoto
    I'm Kuzunoha, the owner of this shop.
[03:53] Makoto
    Forgive my inability to speak.
[03:56] Shinai
    Is it a curse?
[03:57] Makoto
    Yes. I see it as a type of chronic condition.
[04:02] Shinai
    I'm sorry to hear that.
[04:03] Makoto
    Anyway, how can I help you today?
[04:06] Shinai
    Right. It's regarding the medicines
    you carry at this store.
[04:10] Shinai
    Some people are concerned that
    they're too effective for their price.
[04:14] Makoto
    I'm glad it's not about the goddess.
[04:18] Makoto
    Is he hoping for a bribe?
[04:21] Shinai
    I thought such nonsensical rumors
    would be a bother to you.
[04:24] Shinai
    So I have a suggestion.
[04:26] Makoto
    Definitely hoping for a bribe.
[04:28] Makoto
    If a few gold coins will shut
    them up, I'm willing to pay.
[04:32] Shinai
    Have you considered allowing
    temples to handle sales?
[04:34] Makoto
    What?
[04:35] Makoto
    I'm not sure I understand.
[04:37] Shinai
    Then forget I said anything.
[04:40] Shinai
    The temple will assist in
    clearing up any rumors.
[04:43] Shinai
    However, we have a condition.
[04:46] Makoto
    Let's hear it.
[04:48] Shinai
    We want you to reveal your
    production methods.
[04:52] Shinai
    So the temple can inspect them, of course.
[04:55] Shinai
    We swear not to leak the
    information to other shops.
[04:58] Makoto
    But if I revealed my methods,
    couldn't the temple produce similar products?
[05:04] Shinai
    On that matter, we request
    your understanding.
[05:07] Shinai
    I believe I'm making a sound suggestion.
[05:11] Makoto
    Several members of the temple were
    involved in those humanoid experiments.
[05:16] Makoto
    The previous bishop was one of them.
[05:19] Makoto
    He suddenly died an unnatural death,
    probably at Rona-san's hands.
[05:26] Makoto
    It couldn't hurt to have connections to
    the temple in case the unexpected occurs.
[05:32] Makoto
    I'm just a fledgling merchant.
[05:35] Makoto
    If it means getting to
    know people in the temple,
[05:38] Makoto
    I'll gladly disclose my production methods.
[05:41] Shinai
    Y-You're sure?
[05:43] Makoto
    Let me know what day is
    most convenient for you.
[05:46] Makoto
    I'll have my alchemist show
    you how they're made.
[05:49] Shinai
    I appreciate it.
[05:50] Shinai
    Then come to the temple tomorrow at noon.
[05:53] Makoto
    Yikes.
[05:55] Shiki
    Is something the matter?
[05:57] Makoto
    It's quite the majestic building
    for worshiping that goddess.
[06:00] Makoto
    Worshipers see her as the one
    and only noble and good goddess
[06:04] Makoto
    who loves all hyumans like
    a pure mother, right?
[06:09] Shiki
    More or less, yes.
[06:12] Makoto
    That's a pure mother?
[06:17] Makoto
    I don't think I'm going to get
    along with the temple's people.
[06:21] Bishop
    Regarding this proposal,
[06:23] Bishop
    we appreciate the deep devotion
    you're demonstrating.
[06:26] Bishop
    The temple swears to clear up all rumors
    and lies concerning your store.
[06:31] Makoto
    Thank you for your kindness.
[06:33] Bishop
    I hear a chronic condition
    has rendered you mute.
[06:36] Bishop
    We shall devise a solution
    to that problem, too,
[06:39] Bishop
    though I'm not sure how much
    we'll be able to help.
[06:42] Priestess
    Your Holiness, it's time.
[06:45] Bishop
    We'll meet again.
[07:00] Makoto
    Crap!
[07:02] Shinai
    I'm disappointed, Kuzunoha-dono.
[07:06] Shinai
    You owe the bishop your utmost respect.
[07:09] Makoto
    Forgive my poor manners.
[07:11] Shinai
    No matter. So, how do you
    make your medicines?
[07:14] Makoto
    Right.
[07:15] Makoto
    It's all in here.
[07:18] Shinai
    I see. While the alchemists are working,
    I'd like you to tell us a few things.
[07:24] Makoto
    Huh?
[07:28] Shinai
    Oh, it's merely small talk.
[07:34] Shinai
    Kuzunoha-dono.
[07:35] Makoto
    Yes?
[07:36] Shinai
    How long have you been a merchant?
[07:39] Makoto
    Fewer than three years.
[07:41] Makoto
    Whether it's been three days or two
    years, it's all less than three years.
[07:45] Shinai
    And you have shops in two cities?
[07:48] Shinai
    Do you have a major backer?
[07:50] Makoto
    Not a backer, but the Rembrandt Trading
    Company of Tsige has been kind to us.
[07:56] Shinai
    Rembrandt? I see.
[07:58] Makoto
    You know him?
[08:00] Makoto
    Not only did he lend me a storefront,
    but he also taught me the basics of business.
[08:07] Shinai
    That's rather different from
    the Rembrandt we know.
[08:12] Shinai
    We'd appreciate it if he were
    a little more cooperative.
[08:16] Makoto
    Oh, right.
[08:19] Makoto
    Rembrandt stopped worshiping the goddess
    after that business with the disease.
[08:24] Shinai
    Do you look after his daughters at the
    academy because of your connection to him?
[08:31] Makoto
    Huh? Am I being investigated?
[08:33] Makoto
    Yes. I've been asked to
    keep an eye out for them.
[08:38] Shinai
    He loves his daughters dearly.
[08:41] Shinai
    Perhaps I should reevaluate
    my impression of him.
[08:47] Bishop
    Did Kuzunoha and his man leave?
[08:49] Shinai
    Yes. They just exited the temple.
[08:53] Shinai
    We're having him followed.
[08:56] Bishop
    You wasted our time.
[08:59] Bishop
    In the future, get my approval first
    on all matters concerning him.
[09:03] Shinai
    Wh-What do you mean?
[09:05] Bishop
    Our examinations of his
    mind and mana failed.
[09:11] Bishop
    He blocked all our attempts.
[09:13] Bishop
    A servant couldn't possibly tail him.
[09:16] Bishop
    His production methods were fishy, too.
[09:19] Shinai
    What?
[09:21] Priestess
    The steps and explanations were clear,
    and the methods themselves were marvelous.
[09:26] Priestess
    But with our abilities, we'd have
    only a 50% chance of success.
[09:30] Shinai
    Only 50%?
[09:31] Priestess
    Furthermore, when you consider
    the material and labor costs,
[09:34] Priestess
    we'd have to charge a hundred times the price.
[09:37] Shinai
    N-No...
[09:39] Bishop
    Kuzunoha is something else entirely
    pretending to be an innocent child.
[09:45] Bishop
    But it's also possible he'll become
    our trump card in the future.
SIGN    Kuzunoha
[09:50] Jin
    What?!
[09:52] Jin
    Eris-san, does that mean you
    can beat Mr. Blue Lizard?
[09:55] Eris
    Of course. I couldn't work
    here if I couldn't manage that.
[10:00] Jin
    That's amazing! Will you teach me some
    incantations in the old language, too?
[10:03] Aqua
    How long is Eris going to slack off?
[10:03] Jin
    I'd also like to learn how to
    perform incantations while in motion.
[10:05] Makoto
    We're back.
[10:06] Jin
    How do you do it while
    leaping around like that?
[10:07] Aqua
    W-Welcome back.
[10:09] Eris
    Really? That's the most basic of basics.
[10:09] Makoto
    They look like they're having fun.
[10:11] Eris
    It shouldn't need to be taught.
[10:12] Makoto
    When did they start getting along like that?
[10:13] Jin
    Please! I beg you!
[10:14] Aqua
    J-Just now, actually.
[10:17] Makoto
    If you tell me the truth,
[10:18] Makoto
    I'll let you taste the banana milk we
    developed for the academy festival.
[10:23] Aqua
    Since two hours ago!
[10:28] Aqua
    The rich sweetness of the banana,
    light aroma of the syrup,
[10:31] Aqua
    and profound flavor of the chilled
    milk spread throughout my mouth.
[10:36] Aqua
    I wish I could drown in it.
[10:38] Makoto
    I'm glad you like it.
[10:39] Eris
    The key is to choose magic words from
    the old language that suit you.
[10:44] Jin
    Where did you fight Mr. Blue Lizard?
[10:47] Jin
    I've never seen scales like his before.
[10:50] Eris
    Of course not. After all, he's a Mist—
SIGN    DANGLE
[10:54] Eris
    Sh-Shiki-sama, Young Master.
[10:57] Shiki
    You're being a bit too proud.
[11:00] Makoto
    Eris, do you want to go back
    to the demiplane boot camp?
[11:07] Eris
    You planned this, Aqua!
[11:10] Eris
    Young Master, Eris has
    turned over a new leaf.
[11:12] Eris
    I'll never be so arrogant again.
[11:14] Eris
    So please... please...
[11:16] Eris
    Please have mercy on me!
[11:20] Makoto
    The rest is up to you.
[11:22] Makoto
    I'm off to make deliveries.
[11:24] Shiki
    Very well.
[11:28] Makoto
    Also, Jin.
[11:29] Jin
    Yes?!
[11:30] Makoto
    If you're going to cheat,
    don't bother coming to class anymore.
[11:36] Jin
    I-I'm very sorry.
[11:40] Merchants
    Got your goods all set up?
[11:41] Merchants
    Just about to.
[11:43] Merchants
    Better hurry. The festival's starting.
[11:43] Makoto
    Fall days end quickly,
    but the crowds don't disperse.
[11:46] Merchants
    I know, I know.
[11:48] Makoto
    Huh? I sense something...
[11:54] Makoto
    I'm being followed.
[11:56] Makoto
    That's not animosity, that's bloodlust.
[12:00] Makoto
    In that case, I'll pretend I haven't noticed.
[12:12] Makoto
    They finally made their move.
[12:14] Makoto
    Judging by their outfits,
    they belong to the assassin's guild.
[12:19] Assassin
    Get him!
[12:22] Makoto
    Brid.
[12:34] Makoto
    He's...
[12:38] Makoto
    Here for revenge,
    assassin who's proud of his blade?
[12:42] Assassin
    I always complete every job.
[12:45] Makoto
    I can't decide if you're dutiful or obsessed.
[12:48] Makoto
    Hey, I see your blade's been fixed.
[12:52] Assassin
    This blade made from the scales of Greater
    Dragon Mitsurugi is my pride itself.
[12:57] Assassin
    There is no greater assassin's
    blade in the world!
[13:01] Makoto
    Mitsurugi? He's talking about Lancer.
[13:03] Makoto
    His scales are wasted on that blade.
[13:07] Makoto
    Well, he seemed like an unpleasant guy.
[13:09] Makoto
    Maybe his scales are just right
    for an assassin's weapon.
[13:12] Assassin
    What's so funny?!
[13:14] Assassin
    Die, die, die!
[13:15] Makoto
    Is this guy on some sketchy drugs?
[13:20] Makoto
    I should end this.
[13:28] Makoto
    Now, then... I'd like the assassin's
    guild to leave me alone, so...
[13:34] Makoto
    This will truly end the
    matter with Bright-sensei.
[13:51] Makoto
    I'm agitated. I need to
    find a way to calm down.
[14:01] Tomoe
    Welcome back, Young Master.
[14:04] Tomoe
    I was just thinking about
    reaching out to you.
[14:07] Makoto
    I'm back, Tomoe.
[14:09] Makoto
    How's your investigation into
    the demiplane's climate going?
[14:12] Tomoe
    We can wait to act until after
    the festival has ended, but...
[14:20] Tomoe
    I believe I've found a
    rather effective method.
[14:24] Tomoe
    Opening a mist gate here would produce
    a climate that's a 95% match for Japan's.
[14:29] Tomoe
    The weather would stabilize.
[14:31] Makoto
    But this place is...
[14:33] Tomoe
    Yes. It's controlled by demons.
[14:38] Tomoe
    They have a fortress nearby.
[14:41] Tomoe
    It would be a bad idea to leave traces
    of activity right before their eyes.
[14:44] Makoto
    Then what should we do?
[14:46] Tomoe
    With your permission, I could
    clean up the area right away.
[14:51] Makoto
    Attacking the fortress would earn the
    demons' hostility, and this place...
[14:59] Makoto
    Let me think about it.
[15:01] Tomoe
    Very well. For now, let's enjoy
    the festival that starts tomorrow.
[15:07] Crowd
    Great deals here!
[15:08] Crowd
    We've got stuff you can use
    to cheer on the competitors!
[15:10] Crowd
    All the stalls look amazing!
[15:11] Crowd
    That looks tasty!
[15:13] Crowd
    That's the academy city for you.
[15:14] Crowd
    Let's look over there, too.
[15:17] Tomoe
    So this is the academy city.
[15:19] Mio
    It's more vibrant than Tsige.
[15:21] Mio
    All the shops look so tasty.
[15:23] Tomoe
    Don't eat the whole festival
    while you're at it.
[15:25] Crowd
    What's the holdup?
[15:27] Crowd
    Wow, what a crowd.
[15:28] Crowd
    Hurry up!
[15:29] Crowd
    How long are you gonna make us wait?
[15:29] Crowd
    We traveled a long way for this!
[15:31] Makoto
    So noisy...
[15:36] Shiki
    Thank you.
[15:38] Shiki
    Good morning.
[15:39] Makoto
    Sorry! I totally overslept!
[15:42] Shiki
    You couldn't help it. You were
    up until dawn preparing for...
[15:43] Mob
    How much for this?
[15:44] Mob
    Got any of these in stock?
[15:45] Aqua
    I'm sorry. One moment, please.
[15:45] Mob
    Could I get some of these?
[15:47] Aqua
    Yes. One moment, please.
[15:48] Mob
    What does this medicine do?
[15:49] Aqua
    One moment, please!
[15:51] Eris
    Our salesperson spirits burn!
[15:54] Makoto
    Where are Lime and the new Elder Dwarf?
[15:56] Shiki
    Outside.
[15:57] Lime
    The end of the line is over here!
[16:01] Dwarf
    We're currently restricting admission!
[16:04] Shiki
    I've asked them to organize the
    line to avoid bothering other shops.
[16:08] Makoto
    How are sales?
[16:10] Shiki
    We're nearly done for the day.
[16:13] Makoto
    That good?
[16:14] Shiki
    Adventurers who heard about us by word
    of mouth are visiting from across the land.
[16:18] Shiki
    I'm thinking of distributing numbered
    tickets or vouchers if we run out of stock.
[16:23] Makoto
    Vouchers, huh?
[16:24] Makoto
    Come to think of it,
    the merchant's guild gave us some.
[16:27] Shiki
    Forgive me for not seeking
    your permission first.
[16:30] Shiki
    I thought about waking you, but...
[16:35] Mio
    The young master is tired.
[16:37] Mio
    Why won't you let him rest?
[16:39] Tomoe
    As his followers, we'd never
    disturb his restful sleep.
[16:44] Makoto
    Sorry. That must have been
    exhausting for you.
[16:47] Shiki
    Not at all.
[16:48] Makoto
    So, what are they up to?
[16:50] Shiki
    They went with Luto-dono
    to check out the food.
[16:54] Makoto
    I see. Once I'm done checking inventory,
    I'm going to make my rounds.
[16:59] Shiki
    I appreciate it.
[17:00] Makoto
    Let's see. First up is...
[17:02] Laurel Woman
    Kuzuha...
[17:06] Laurel Woman
    Why is it written in Laurel's secret script?
[17:08] Makoto
    Laurel?
[17:10] Dwarf
    Please don't cut in line, sir.
[17:12] Man
    What? I'm not gonna listen to a demihuman.
[17:14] Dwarf
    It's store rules.
[17:16] Man
    Seriously? Does this shop
    employ demihumans?
[17:19] Makoto
    A hyuman scumbag.
[17:21] Makoto
    I'll ask him to leave.
[17:34] Tomoe
    Delicious. I hate myself for not
    bringing hot sake to drink.
[17:40] Mio
    Fish, meat, vegetables, seasoning.
[17:43] Mio
    And most of all, the soup that
    is the foundation of the dish.
[17:45] Mio
    Now this is a dish worth learning to make.
[17:48] Eris
    Aqua, let me have a taste already.
[17:51] Lime
    Doesn't matter if they're
    demihuman or hyuman.
[17:53] Lime
    I'll kick their asses.
[17:54] Dwarf
    I appreciate it.
[17:57] Shiki
    Young Master.
[17:59] Shiki
    Cream and mayonnaise.
[18:01] Shiki
    What kind of harmony will they create?
[18:04] Makoto
    Shiki, no horrifying experiments, okay?
[18:07] Luria
    Thank you for waiting.
[18:09] Luria
    Here's the extra hotpot you ordered.
[18:10] Makoto
    The restaurant is packed. Got enough staff?
[18:14] Luria
    We'll be fine. We're prepared for the rush.
[18:18] Luria
    My sister's helping, too.
[18:20] Makoto
    Eva-san can wait on customers, too?
    She has many talents.
[18:24] Luria
    Actually, she's washing
    dishes in the kitchen.
[18:29] Luria
    Since I work here, she helps every year,
[18:32] Luria
    but we all have our
    strengths and weaknesses.
[18:37] Makoto
    So customer service isn't
    one of her strengths.
[18:39] Luria
    Let me know if you'd like anything else.
[18:43] Makoto
    Thanks.
[18:44] Tomoe
    Young Master, what a truly
    delightful festival.
[18:47] Tomoe
    I can see why it brings in foreign nobles.
[18:50] Mio
    There's a great variety of stalls
    selling foods I've never seen before.
[18:54] Mio
    In Laurel, they apparently eat fish raw.
[18:59] Makoto
    Really? They eat sashimi there, huh?
[19:01] Tomoe
    Seeing the students train warmed my heart.
[19:04] Tomoe
    I'm sure your own students will
    do their best at the tournament.
[19:08] Makoto
    Let's go watch the matches together.
[19:11] Makoto
    Enjoy the festival to your
    hearts' content, you two.
[19:13] Both
    Of course!
[19:16] Makoto
    I kind of feel like you're having too much fun.
[19:23] Limia Man
    Now...
[19:24] Limia Man
    What does Laurel want from Limia?
[19:29] Laurel Woman
    Allow me to be direct.
[19:32] Laurel Woman
    Please return our priestess to us.
[19:36] Limia Man
    The priestess?
[19:37] Limia Man
    She is with Hibiki-dono, the hero of Limia,
    and chose to accompany her into battle.
[19:44] Laurel Woman
    Your great hyuman nation has kidnapped
    a key figure of another nation
[19:49] Laurel Woman
    and is forcing her to participate
    in dangerous battles.
[19:52] Laurel Woman
    This will become a serious issue.
[19:56] Limia Man
    The priestess took the lead
    in supporting the hero.
[20:00] Limia Man
    Shouldn't that make your nation proud?
[20:04] Laurel Woman
    Does Limia take hostages?
[20:06] Limia Man
    What?
[20:07] Laurel Woman
    You know how important
    the priestess is to us.
[20:12] Limia Man
    If you refuse to accept it,
    then send your own forces.
[20:18] Limia Man
    We'll assign them to travel
    with the priestess.
[20:24] Limia Man
    Leaving so soon?
[20:27] Laurel Woman
    The priestess cannot be replaced.
[20:30] Laurel Woman
    I hope we make some progress during
    our stay in the academy city.
[20:36] Limia Man
    I'll keep that in mind.
[20:42] Limia Man
    This is ridiculous.
[20:44] Limia Man
    We're busy preparing a second
    attack against Fort Stella.
[20:48] Limia Woman
    If the empire hadn't sent the princess,
    we wouldn't have needed to come here.
[20:55] Limia Man
    The empire's hero and Princess
    Lily are wholly to blame.
[21:00] Limia Man
    What are those imperial bastards planning?
[21:08] Tomoe
    Very good, very good!
[21:10] Luria
    Please stop!
[21:11] Tomoe
    I like you, Luria!
[21:13] Eva
    Please forgive my sister for being so inept.
[21:16] Lime
    Oil! I need more oil!
[21:19] Lime
    The stuff that burns on the way down!
[21:22] Shiki
    This is my next new product.
[21:24] Eris
    Is it banana and mayo?
[21:26] Aqua
    No, it's banana milk.
[21:27] Mio
    Hotpot is delicious.
[21:29] Lime
    Let's hit up a second bar, boss!
[21:31] Tomoe
    Of course. How could we not?
[21:34] Aqua
    Banana milk!
[21:39] Makoto
    Even when sober,
[21:41] Makoto
    I too feel enlivened by
[21:42] Makoto
    brisk autumn breezes.
[21:52] Lily
    What a bunch of fools.
[21:54] Lily
    They're nothing like the empire's people.
