SIGN    Academy Festival Day 2
[00:02] Makoto/N
    Today, the students are being
    evaluated on their etiquette,
[00:05] Makoto/N
    speech, conduct, and other manners.
[00:08] Makoto/N
    The students' manners are examined at a
    stand-up luncheon attended by foreign guests.
[00:13] Makoto/N
    Misumi Makoto has also been invited and is
    reunited with a handsome middle-aged man,
[00:18] Makoto/N
    but remains unaware of the
    hateful eyes looking his way.

[01:56] Lisa
    Sorry I'm late, darling.
[01:59] Rembrandt
    Ah, Lisa.
[02:01] Rembrandt
    You decided to wear your blue
    dress today? It suits you well.
[02:05] Lisa
    Thank you. I haven't had the opportunity
    to wear it since I bought it.
[02:10] Makoto
    Ma'am, it's good to see you again.
[02:13] Makoto
    Aren't you exhausted
    from the long journey?
[02:15] Lisa
    No, thankfully.
[02:18] Lisa
    I appreciate you guarding my husband
    after all you've already done for us.
[02:22] Lisa
    I hope you'll look after Shifu and Yuno, as well.
[02:26] Rembrandt
    We're off to find seats.
[02:35] Makoto/Id
    They're such a close couple.
[02:43] Makoto/Id
    Maybe I should establish more
    connections with hyumans, too.
[02:54] Sairitsu
    You're Kuzunoha-sama, aren't you?
[02:56] Makoto
    Huh?
[02:57] Sairitsu
    May I speak with you a moment?
[03:02] Makoto/Id
    Demons for bodyguards?
[03:04] Makoto/Id
    Does she not know? That's dangerous.
[03:11] Makoto
    I'm sorry, but have we met before?
[03:16] Sairitsu
    No, this is our first time meeting.
[03:19] Sairitsu
    I asked to speak with you
    because I'm interested in you.
[03:22] Makoto/Id
    She's not surprised by my writing.
[03:25] Makoto/Id
    She knows about me.
[03:28] Sairitsu
    My name is Sairitsu.
[03:30] Sairitsu
    I'm an official of the Laurel Commonwealth
    who looks after the priestess and Kamuro.
[03:35] Sairitsu
    Do you know anything about Laurel?
[03:39] Makoto
    Not much, but I do know that the priestess
    is the spiritual pillar of the people,
[03:45] Makoto
    and Kamuro is a candidate to become one.
[03:48] Makoto/Id
    Laurel is a commonwealth of
    three nations that became one.
[03:52] Makoto/Id
    The woman known as the priestess
    can speak with high-ranking spirits,
[03:56] Makoto/Id
    and holds significant political status.
[03:59] Makoto/Id
    Their nation is insular, and little
    information makes its way to other countries.
[04:04] Makoto/Id
    Their culture and characteristics
    feel vaguely Japanese.
[04:09] Sairitsu
    It's strange.
[04:11] Sairitus
    Despite your claim to
    know little about Laurel,
[04:14] Sairitus
    you're using something our
    nation has kept hidden.
[04:17] Makoto/Id
    What's she talking about?
[04:18] Sairitsu
    There are two characters on the
    Kuzunoha Trading Company's sign.
[04:24] Sairitsu
    It's sage script.
[04:26] Sairitus
    In the whole world, only a few
    people of Laurel know it.
[04:31] Makoto
    Sage script? I've never heard of that before.
[04:34] Sairitsu
    If you were a sage, that would explain
    how you know those characters.
[04:40] Makoto
    I'm not wise enough to be called a sage.
[04:44] Sairitsu
    By "sage," I don't mean a wise man.
[04:49] Sairitsu
    It's what we call people from distant
    lands who possess inconceivable knowledge.
[04:57] Makoto/Id
    In other words, people from another world.
[05:00] Sairitsu
    Kuzunoha-sama, are you not a sage, as well?
[05:08] Sairitsu
    I am not, but this is how
    my full name is written.
SIGN    Kahara Sairitsu
[05:13] Sairitsu
    Kahara Sairitsu.
[05:15] Sairitsu
    This name was given to me by a
    shrine dedicated to the spirits.
[05:18] Sairitsu
    Don't you think it's somehow
    similar to the name Kuzunoha?
[05:23] Sairitsu
    There's your face, as well.
[05:25] Sairitsu
    Sages are believed to be a
    different race from hyumans.
[05:31] Makoto
    Unfortunately, I'm nothing of the sort.
[05:34] Sairitsu
    We offer our protection to sages so
    they're not treated unfairly in this world.
[05:41] Makoto/Id
    Protection, huh?
[05:43] Sairitsu
    In Laurel, you'd be welcomed.
[05:47] Sairitsu
    We'd do everything we can for you.
[05:51] Makoto
    I see. If I come across any sages,
    I'll recommend they visit your country.
[05:59] Sairitsu
    You seem determined not to trust us.
[06:04] Sairitsu
    We believe the two heroes granted
    by the goddess are sages, as well.
[06:11] Sairitsu
    What do you think?
[06:14] Makoto
    I'm sorry, but I can't answer that
    question, as I've never met them.
[06:20] Sairitsu
    Very well.
[06:24] Sairitsu
    If you'll excuse me.
[06:28] Sairitsu
    Oh, yes. Your store sign.
[06:33] Sairitsu
    One of the characters, "kuzu," means medicine.
[06:37] Sairitsu
    Are medicines your forte?
[06:39] Makoto
    Kuzu is the name of a plant,
[06:42] Makoto
    though you're right that I want to
    make medicines widely available.
[06:46] Sairitsu
    Truly, you know much about sage script.
[06:50] Sairitsu
    I hope we meet again.
[06:55] Makoto/Id
    I had no idea there was a nation that was
    in contact with people from other worlds.
[06:59] Makoto/Id
    Is that why Laurel is such an insular nation?
[07:10] Sairitsu/Id
    Second princess of the Gritonia
    Empire, Lily Flont Gritonia.
[07:15] Lily/Id
    I wasn't expecting Laurel to make contact
    with the Kuzunoha Trading Company.
[07:21] Lily/Id
    Given Tomoki's ongoing
    obsession with Tomoe,
[07:24] Lily/Id
    I must do something about the
    Kuzunoha Trading Company.
[07:27] Lily/Id
    They're such a nuisance.
[07:31] Sairitsu
    Lily-sama, did you see someone
    who caught your interest?
[07:35] Lily
    Why, if it isn't Kahara-sama.
[07:37] Sairitsu
    No need to be so polite.
[07:39] Sairitsu
    After all, you're an imperial princess.
[07:42] Lily
    I've given up any claim to
    the throne. More importantly,
[07:47] Lily
    I'm curious about the person
    you were just meeting with.
[07:53] Sairitsu
    That was a personal matter.
[07:55] Sairitsu
    My subordinates told me his store
    carries rather effective medicines.
[08:00] Lily
    I've heard most of his
    employees are demihumans.
[08:05] Lily
    He's even a part-time
    teacher at the academy.
[08:08] Sairitsu
    Is that right? I was unaware.
[08:13] Lily/Id
    Judging by her behavior,
[08:14] Lily/Id
    her relationship with the Kuzunoha
    Trading Company must not be very deep.
[08:19] Lily
    Perhaps I'll buy some of those
    medicines as a souvenir.
[08:23] Sairitsu
    In that case, I shall procure some for you.
[08:26] Sairitsu
    I wouldn't want to see a
    princess standing in line.
[08:30] Lily/Id
    So she doesn't want me to come in contact
    with the Kuzunoha Trading Company.
[08:34] Lily
    Very well. I appreciate your kindness.
[08:39] Lily
    Changing the subject, could you
    do one other thing for me?
[08:45] Lily
    The empire is actually developing a new
    technology, but we're struggling with it.
[08:53] Lily
    I was hoping to borrow your wisdom.
[08:56] Sairitsu/Id
    What does she intend to ask?
    The empire already has spies in Laurel.
[09:01] Lily
    Recently, interest in gunpowder
    has increased in our nation.
[09:06] Lily
    I was hoping you could tell me
    about its handling and uses.
[09:09] Sairitsu/Id
    Gunpowder? I'm surprised.
[09:12] Sairitsu/Id
    It doesn't compare to magic.
[09:16] Sairitsu
    In that case, I'll tell you everything I know.
[09:20] Lily
    I appreciate it.
[09:23] Lily/Id
    Of course she's wary.
[09:26] Lily/Id
    But sometimes, caution reveals information.
[09:29] Lily/Id
    Those demons enthralled by Tomoki's
    charm can handle the rest.
[09:36] Shifu
    Mother, where is Kuzunoha-sensei?
[09:39] Lisa
    Over there.
[09:41] Lisa
    He seems uncomfortable in this setting.
[09:44] Yuno
    You're right.
[09:46] Shifu
    I wanted to get his opinion on my dress.
[09:49] Yuno
    Right?
[09:50] Lisa
    More importantly, I hear you've been
    acting rather ostentatiously at the academy.
[09:56] Lisa
    The Rembrandts don't have
    a very good reputation.
[10:00] Shifu
    Y-You looked into that?
[10:02] Lisa
    Of course I did.
[10:03] Lisa
    It sounds like you've been
    behaving yourselves recently,
[10:06] Lisa
    but your conduct before was outrageous.
[10:10] Lisa
    You must repair your reputations
    by the time you graduate.
[10:13] Lisa
    People prefer to criticize rather
    than praise, so it won't be easy.
[10:21] Lisa
    But act like your lives
    depend on it. Understood?
[10:25] Both
    Y-Yes, Mother!
[10:29] Rembrandt
    Thank you for today.
[10:31] Rembrandt
    Because of you, I got to see my
    daughters dressed in their finest.
[10:34] Lisa
    What did you think of them?
[10:36] Lisa
    Were they a pleasure to look at?
[10:40] Makoto
    They were beautiful.
[10:43] Makoto
    I was less entertained and more surprised.
[10:47] Rembrandt
    You found their beauty shocking?
    Kuzunoha-sama, you know how to...
[10:53] Ilumgand
    Hey, Kuzunoha.
[10:55] Makoto
    That's me, but students should
    mind how they speak to me.
[11:00] Makoto
    What do you want?
[11:02] Ilumgand
    You can't be serious.
    Don't tell me you've forgotten me.
[11:07] Makoto/Id
    What? Who is this guy?
[11:09] Ilumgand
    You bastard!
[11:10] Makoto/Id
    Honestly, I have a hard time telling hyumans
    apart since they're all so beautiful.
[11:17] Makoto
    I have no recollection of you,
    but allow me to apologize.
[11:20] Makoto
    I'm sorry.
[11:23] Makoto
    As you can see, I'm with guests.
[11:26] Makoto
    I'll hear your complaints tomorrow.
[11:31] Ilumgand
    Kuzunoha, I won't let you get away with this.
[11:34] Ilumgand
    I'll crush your students in the tournament!
[11:41] Lisa
    Kuzunoha-sama...
[11:44] Makoto
    Don't worry.
[11:46] Makoto
    I won't allow any harm to
    come to my precious students.
[11:50] Rembrandt
    If you say so, then I suppose we
    have nothing to worry about.
[11:55] Makoto/Id
    So many hyumans are a pain in the ass.
[11:59] Makoto/Id
    Who was that guy, anyway?
[12:02] Shiki
    If he's a student, then
    perhaps he was one of them.
[12:07] Makoto
    "Them" who?
[12:08] Shiki
    Your hint is the Gotetsu Restaurant.
[12:11] Makoto
    Oh, them.
[12:15] Shiki
    I'll look into him tomorrow.
[12:18] Shiki
    I promised your students that
    I'd accompany them today.
[12:22] Makoto
    You mean the tournament drawing?
[12:24] Makoto
    I'll check it out with Tomoe and Mio.
[12:29] Tomoe
    No hard feelings, okay?
[12:32] Mio
    Let's do this.
[12:34] Luto
    Ready, and...
[12:38] Luto
    How delightful it is to walk
    side by side with my beloved.
[12:44] Tomoe
    Keep your perverted conduct in check.
[12:49] Luto
    But my feelings are sincere.
[12:51] Tomoe
    Don't stand so close to him!
[12:53] Luto
    I won this right fair and
    square by drawing lots.
[12:56] Luto
    I have no intention of giving it up.
[12:59] Makoto
    More importantly, about Laurel...
[13:01] Luto
    You mean the sage script?
[13:03] Luto
    In your world, you call it kanji, right?
[13:06] Makoto
    Yeah. Do they know Japanese, too?
[13:09] Makoto
    It's a language spoken in my world.
[13:11] Luto
    A little, but it's changed quite a bit.
[13:16] Luto
    It's sort of like vulgar Latin.
[13:19] Makoto
    What?
[13:21] Luto
    Perhaps you know it as spoken Latin.
[13:24] Luto
    It's like a language only used by scholars.
[13:29] Makoto
    Um... Is it possible they'd
    understand me if I spoke Japanese?
[13:35] Luto
    You gave up on thinking again, didn't you?
[13:37] Luto
    If you don't try to find answers
    to questions for yourself,
[13:42] Luto
    you'll run into trouble someday.
[13:45] Luto
    Regarding Japanese,
    unless a hero overhears you,
[13:49] Luto
    there's no chance of you being understood.
[13:52] Mio
    Young Master, have some of these.
[13:54] Makoto
    Thanks. Your recommendations
    are always spot-on, Mio.
[14:00] Mio
    Thank you.
[14:02] Makoto
    Mm, I like it. It's like fried chicken.
[14:05] Mio
    Another winner!
[14:06] Mio
    I shall prepare some of this
    fried chicken for our table.
[14:10] Makoto
    I look forward to it. Oh, and when you do...
[14:13] Mio
    Serve with salt and lemon or yuzu aroma. Right?
[14:17] Makoto
    Yeah. I'm impressed you knew.
[14:19] Tomoe
    Young Master, let's try that stall next.
[14:23] Luto
    Okay, enough.
    Know your place today, you two.
[14:32] Mio
    Where is Shiki?
[14:34] Mio
    Didn't he say he'd be waiting at the gate?
[14:36] Tomoe
    We'll have to chastise him later.
[14:39] Luto
    Oh, I forgot I had something important to do.
[14:42] Luto
    Unfortunately, I'll have to
    give up my seat to you two.
[14:48] Mio
    He's finally gone.
[14:51] Makoto
    I appreciate the space, but...
[14:53] Tomoe
    He was clearly lying.
[15:01] Tomoe
    Well, well. So these are the
    young master's students.
[15:04] All
    Pleased to meet you.
[15:07] Tomoe
    Good. A proper greeting.
[15:09] Tomoe
    I am Tomoe, and this is...
[15:12] Mio
    I'm Mio.
[15:13] Shifu
    We've heard about you from our father.
[15:15] Yuno
    He said you're the two pillars
    supporting Kuzunoha-sensei.
[15:20] Mio
    Comparisons to Tomoe-san aside,
[15:23] Mio
    I appreciate that you didn't
    include that man over there.
[15:28] Abelia
    What? Sensei, isn't Shiki-san...
[15:30] Makoto
    Mio is right.
[15:32] Makoto
    In terms of combat abilities,
    Shiki doesn't compare to the two of them.
[15:37] Izumo
    I see.
[15:38] Mithra
    Not even Shiki-san?
[15:39] Daena
    Seriously?
[15:41] Jin
    We've still got a lot to learn.
[15:43] Tomoe
    I understand why the young
    master looks after you lot.
[15:48] Tomoe
    You all look fierce.
[15:52] Mio
    I still don't understand it.
[15:55] Mio
    They're fledglings who
    have only just hatched.
[15:59] Makoto/Id
    From Mio's perspective, they probably are.
[16:03] Tomoe
    Good grief. You should learn
    the joy of teaching another.
[16:09] Tomoe
    Try not to upset the young
    master in the future.
[16:12] Mio
    I would never upset him!
[16:15] Tomoe
    You're upsetting him right now!
[16:18] Makoto
    Don't fight here!
[16:22] Makoto
    By the way, where is he?
[16:24] Shiki
    That student hasn't shown up yet.
[16:27] Shiki
    I've told them what to expect.
[16:30] Shiki
    I determined that he's Limia nobility
    with ties to the royal family.
[16:37] Shiki
    He's the second son of the Hopleys family.
[16:39] Makoto
    He's a rather important figure, then.
[16:42] Daena
    You have a knack for attracting
    trouble, Kuzunoha-sensei.
[16:47] All
    Hush!
[16:48] Makoto
    As you heard from Shiki,
[16:51] Makoto
    you're expected to be harassed by
    a certain student during the match.
[16:55] Makoto
    Apparently, I'm the reason for it.
[16:59] Makoto
    But I won't be helping you.
[17:02] Makoto
    You'll have to handle any
    interference yourselves.
[17:05] Shifu
    We know.
[17:06] Jin
    That was our intent from the start.
[17:09] Makoto
    I'm glad to hear that.
[17:11] Makoto
    Because of your enthusiasm, I'd like to
    impose some restrictions on your match.
[17:16] Mithra
    What?
[17:16] Izumo
    Restrictions?
[17:21] Daena
    Is he serious?
[17:23] Izumo
    He sure didn't look like he was joking.
[17:26] Mithra
    He really is terrifying.
[17:29] Abelia
    What did he tell you not do to, Jin?
[17:31] Jin
    Use my dual-blade style.
[17:34] Abelia
    He told me not to use my bow.
[17:35] Abelia
    Since I'm in the mage category,
    he said to use my staff.
[17:38] Mithra
    I'm not allowed to use new skills.
[17:41] Daena
    I'm not allowed to use my Super Enhancement.
[17:43] Izumo
    I'm not allowed to use mobility incantations.
[17:45] Yuno
    I'm limited to using only one type of weapon.
[17:49] Shifu
    I'm not allowed to use composite spells.
[17:51] Shiki
    Kuzunoha-sama said he hopes that,
    by limiting yourselves,
[17:57] Shiki
    you'll think more carefully and
    hone your strength and techniques.
[18:02] Shiki
    It's like concealing your trump card.
[18:06] Izumo
    Our trump cards?
[18:07] Shiki
    If you're all successful,
    he'd like to take on new students
[18:13] Shiki
    and allow you to advance to the next level.
[18:16] Jin
    The next level?
[18:18] Shiki
    Good luck in your matches.
[18:22] Luto
    You're scowling, Princess Lily.
[18:25] Luto
    I thought you had business
    with me. Was I right?
[18:28] Lily
    False-dono,
[18:29] Lily
    why would the leader of the adventurer's
    guild associate with that merchant?
[18:36] Luto
    I've taken a liking to him recently.
[18:39] Lily
    Does the Kuzunoha Trading Company have
    the backing of the adventurer's guild?
[18:43] Luto
    Of course not. We don't side
    with anyone from any nation.
[18:48] Lily
    No?
[18:49] Lily
    By the way, our nation's
    hero says he'd like to make
[18:54] Lily
    the trading company's Tomoe his own.
[18:58] Luto
    Oh, really?
[18:59] Luto
    He must be a rather interesting
    boy, to like Tomoe so much.
[19:03] Lily
    But his hopes of acquiring her were crushed.
[19:07] Lily
    Do you think I could defeat her?
[19:09] Luto
    The answer to your question is no.
[19:12] Luto
    Taking on the Kuzunoha Trading Company is
    like engaging the demons in an all-out war.
[19:18] Lily
    Are you saying he has connections
    to demons, as well?
[19:20] Luto
    It was just an example.
[19:22] Luto
    He'd be that much of a threat to you.
[19:26] Lily
    So Tomoe isn't the only fighter
    of the Kuzunoha Trading Company.
[19:31] Luto
    You'll be starting your war soon.
[19:36] Luto
    Should you be spending time here?
[19:38] Lily
    It's not a problem. More importantly,
[19:41] Lily
    you previously provided me with information
    on Sofia's treachery and the demons' rings.
[19:48] Lily
    Why did you help me?
[19:53] Luto
    You'll figure that out eventually.
[19:56] Luto
    All you need to do is try to create
    your ideal world with your hero.
[20:02] Lily/Id
    So I should focus my efforts on my
    immediate goal of retaking Fort Stella.
[20:09] Lily/Id
    If I don't find anyone notable at the
    tournament, I should return to the empire.
[20:17] Makoto/N
    Nobles are truly terrifying.
SIGN    Poison
[20:20] Makoto/N
    In less than a day, they were
    already plotting sabotage.
SIGN    Laxative
SIGN    Assassin
SIGN    Kuzunoha
[20:25] Makoto/N
    Though I was able to stop all their attempts,
    it was a nuisance nonetheless.
[20:31] Makoto
    The merchant's guild?
[20:33] Rembrandt
    You're to head there immediately.
[20:37] Rembrandt
    Fortunately, the guild representative
    is an old friend of mine.
[20:40] Rembrandt
    I'll go there for you.
[20:45] Makoto/Id
    But Shifu and Yuno's matches are today.
[20:48] Makoto/Id
    Thank you, Rembrandt-san.
[20:55] Mob
    It's nearly time.
[20:55] Mob
    Who's the star of this year's tournament?
[20:56] Mob
    The winner will probably be scouted.
[20:59] Makoto
    Really? They did this, too?
[21:02] Makoto
    In the first round of the warrior category,
    Daena faces Yuno, and Jin faces Mithra.
[21:07] Makoto
    In the first round of the mage
    category, Abelia faces Shifu.
[21:11] Makoto
    The winner faces Izumo, who was seeded.
[21:14] Tomoe
    In other words, your students
    will be facing each other.
[21:18] Tomoe
    How exciting.
[21:20] Mio
    I was right to buy lots of snacks.
[21:24] Makoto/Id
    The Hopleys have even more influence than
    I thought if they can arrange opponents.
[21:30] Makoto/Id
    The academy itself doesn't play fair, either.
[21:36] Makoto/Id
    I've lied and deceived every time
    I've dealt with people like them.
[21:42] Makoto/Id
    Maybe it finally caught up to me.
[21:46] Makoto/Id
    It's never going to end.
    I think I'm approaching my limit.
[21:51] Ref
    The Rotsgard Academy
    tournament will now begin!
[23:34] Makoto
    Night Fifteen: "A Fierce Tournament."
