[00:06] Oscar
    So it really is harder for you
    to use magic now.
[00:09] Tinasha
    I need a lot more power now
    to use spirit magic.
[00:13] Tinasha
    This seems like a good opportunity
    to update my configurations.
[00:18] Oscar
    When should our wedding be?
[00:19] Oscar
    Once we enter a marital agreement,
[00:22] Oscar
    you'll be granted the privileges
    of the Farsas royal family...
[00:27] Oscar
    What's with that look?
[00:28] Tinasha
    W-Well, I don't know about marriage...
[00:33] Oscar
    Did you say something?
[00:34] Tinasha
    Ow!
[00:36] Tinasha
    I'd be happy just being your mistress.
[00:40] Oscar
    I don't plan on keeping you hidden away.
[00:44] Tinasha
    What's out in the open and what's hidden
    away is a matter of perspective.
SIGN    ~ Blank Slate Children ~
[02:28] Tinasha
    I see.
[02:29] Tinasha
    The new year festival is held
    in the eastern temple?
[02:34] Oscar
    Yeah.
[02:35] Oscar
    It's custom to go on horseback
    to present myself to the public as well.
[02:40] Tinasha
    That'll require quite a lot of bodyguards.
[02:44] Tinasha
    What is it, Litola?
[02:49] Litola
    We have visitors at the tower.
[02:51] Tinasha
    It's closed off, isn't it?
[02:53] Litola
    That may be so,
[02:56] Litola
    however, the visitors are five boys,
    all under ten years old.
[02:58] Litola
    From their conversation,
    it seems they live in the Farsas castle city.
[03:03] Boy A
    Open it up already, wimp!
[03:05] Saye
    Look, I mean...
[03:08] Boy B
    Don't be chicken, Saye.
[03:13] Tinasha
    Hey!
[03:15] Tinasha
    What did you come all this way for?
[03:21] Saye
    Where'd you come from?!
[03:22] Tinasha
    What do you want with the witch?
[03:24] Saye
    Well...
[03:26] Boy B
    Saye said that up in the north,
    it rains ice instead of water.
[03:30] Boy A
    He must be lying.
[03:31] Boy A
    There's no way that's true.
[03:32] Boy B
    So we told him to go ask the witch.
[03:35] Tinasha
    Hail...
[03:37] Tinasha
    Wait, no, snow?
[03:41] Saye
    Yeah, snow!
[03:43] Saye
    Have you heard of it, missy?
[03:46] Tinasha
    Just to be clear, is that
    the reason you came here?
[03:51] Saye
    Yep.
[03:56] Tinasha
    You came all this way without any adults?
[03:58] Tinasha
    What if you ran into
    demonic spirits or bandits?
[04:01] Saye
    Still...
[04:03] Saye
    His Majesty got stronger
    by going on all sorts of adventures...
[04:07] Tinasha
    That man's influence, huh?
[04:10] Tinasha
    Listen closely.
[04:11] Tinasha
    His Majesty is strong from all the training
    he did before going on any adventures.
[04:17] Tinasha
    Now that you get it,
    why don't I take you kids back home?
[04:28] Saye
    Wait... are you the witch?
[04:33] Tinasha
    Who knows?
[04:40] Tinasha
    Putting up the surveillance spell won't be
    as bad as actually monitoring that day.
[04:45] Tinasha
    I'll end up perceiving everything
    that happens within the spell's range.
[04:50] Oscar
    Sounds rough on you.
[04:52] Tinasha
    Oh, right, remember those kids
    who visited the tower?
[04:56] Tinasha
    I swear, they fear nothing,
    like someone I know.
[05:04] Oscar
    Why don't you want to get married?
[05:07] Tinasha
    What's this all of a sudden?
[05:10] Oscar
    Am I the reason?
[05:15] Tinasha
    Do you remember how I said
    you have magical power?
[05:19] Oscar
    Oh, right, I forgot to ask you for the details.
[05:24] Tinasha
    Actually, you possess a great deal of magic.
[05:27] Tinasha
    I believe it must have been sealed away
    with a powerful spell when you were a child.
[05:32] Tinasha
    If I give birth to your child,
    there's no doubt they'll be a powerful mage.
[05:38] Tinasha
    If it's a girl, then there's a good chance
    that right from birth...
[05:43] Oscar
    She'll be a witch...
[05:47] Oscar
    What if it's a boy?
[05:49] Tinasha
    He'd inherit quite a lot of magic.
[05:51] Tinasha
    But as long as he wields Akashia,
    he can't cast spells.
[05:56] Tinasha
    You must have inherited Akashia
    at a young age for the same reason.
[06:00] Oscar
    You mean my father knew I had magic power?
[06:04] Tinasha
    I imagine it was your mother, or someone
    close to her, who sealed away your magic.
[06:11] Oscar
    I see.
[06:14] Oscar
    Do you think being born
    with such strong magic is a bad thing?
[06:19] Tinasha
    I can't say that it's a good thing...
[06:23] Tinasha
    Especially for a member of royalty.
[06:25] Oscar
    I have magic too, don't I?
[06:28] Oscar
    Not to mention you were in line
    to be queen yourself.
[06:35] Oscar
    Don't reject the very notion of power.
[06:38] Oscar
    Your power has saved
    plenty of people, has it not?
[06:43] Tinasha
    It's also taken countless lives.
[06:46] Oscar
    The same goes for me.
[06:48] Oscar
    That comes with my decision to fight.
[06:51] Oscar
    We can teach our child about their power,
    about the value of lives, little by little.
[06:57] Oscar
    Don't deny them that from the start.
[07:00] Oscar
    Give our child a chance to be born.
[08:03] Tinasha
    Let it be defined.
[08:05] Tinasha
    My command summons and controls thee.
[08:07] Tinasha
    O lightning, appear before me and obey my will.
[08:15] Kumu
    What's the matter?!
[08:16] Oscar
    Someone was watching us.
[08:21] Tinasha
    They got away.
[08:23] Tinasha
    I'm not talking about you, of course.
[08:26] Tinasha
    Saye, come out here.
[08:32] Tinasha
    Did my lecture not get through to you?
[08:37] Saye
    I'm sorry.
[08:40] Saye
    Your Majesty, forgive my rudeness.
[08:43] Saye
    I was just curious.
[08:45] Tinasha
    The other four of you, come out as well.
[08:48] Tinasha
    Let's go back together.
[08:57] Saye
    How did you know, missy?
[08:59] Tinasha
    I'm the lookout.
[09:01] Tinasha
    I can tell when someone's nearby.
[09:07] Als
    Your Majesty, take cover from the rain!
[09:10] Oscar
    I'm fine.
[09:18] Tinasha
    I call for transformation.
[09:20] Tinasha
    Fall down without changing form.
[09:22] Tinasha
    Let frozen breath bring about change.
[09:30] Saye
    Hey, look!
[09:31] Saye
    Didn't I tell you?
[09:41] Oscar
    So this is what snow is like.
[09:49] Oscar
    The world has so much to offer
    when I'm with you.
[09:59] Boy
    Missy!
[10:05] Oscar
    Are you okay?
[10:09] Tinasha
    It was just a bit stressful.
[10:13] Tinasha
    I can walk just fine.
[10:15] Oscar
    Let me pamper you.
[10:20] Tinasha
    Going back to our discussion about marriage...
[10:25] Oscar
    Yeah.
[10:26] Tinasha
    Let me think about it for a little longer...
[10:30] Tinasha
    Until our contract ends.
[10:33] Oscar
    Sure.
[10:40] Oscar
    I tried asking my father.
[10:42] Oscar
    About my mother.
[10:45] Oscar
    He said I should do what I want, since he
    got married for selfish reasons as well.
[10:50] Tinasha
    I see.
[10:53] Oscar
    Well, I'm glad she gave birth to me.
[10:56] Oscar
    It means I get to be here now.
[10:59] Tinasha
    I feel the same way.
[11:05] Leonora
    How did she look?
[11:08] Unai
    She seemed the same as always.
[11:11] Unai
    However, her spell seemed a bit different.
SIGN    Leonora The Witch Who Cannot Be Summoned
[11:16] Leonora
    Perhaps she gave in to a man?
[11:18] Leonora
    How reckless, right after she almost died.
[11:21] Leonora
    Very well.
[11:22] Leonora
    Let's kill her if we find an opening.
[11:25] Leonora
    Once this little game's reached
    a good stopping point.
[11:29] Unai
    As you wish.
[11:38] Lazar
    Your Majesty.
[11:39] Lazar
    We've received details on the Gandona
    Founding Day celebrations in two weeks.
[11:43] Oscar
    I'd rather not go.
[11:45] Oscar
    That's not possible.
[11:47] Oscar
    Well, I am worried about
    trouble brewing in Yarda out east.
[11:52] Oscar
    Guess I'll have to go.
[11:54] Lazar
    Of course you will.
[11:57] Oscar
    I'll have Tinasha with me, so I won't
    need too many bodyguards.
[12:00] Oscar
    Oh, maybe we should bring Pamyra or Sylvia.
[12:03] Oscar
    You need someone to help dress you, don't you?
[12:06] Tinasha
    Why would I need someone to dress me?
[12:09] Tinasha
    I can do it myself.
[12:11] Oscar
    You're not putting on a formal dress alone.
[12:13] Tinasha
    I knew it.
[12:14] Tinasha
    No public appearance.
[12:15] Tinasha
    I'm just going to protect you.
[12:17] Tinasha
    But...
[12:19] Lazar
    Lady Tinasha, doesn't everyone think
    you're His Majesty's fiancée?
[12:24] Oscar
    That's right.
[12:25] Tinasha
    I forgot that was our story.
[12:28] Tinasha
    What do I do?
[12:31] Oscar
    I'm sure it's fine if you
    don't make an appearance.
[12:34] Oscar
    Just tell me where you're going to be.
[12:37] Tinasha
    S-Sorry.
[12:41] Oscar
    Oh yeah, didn't you say
    you'd been to Gandona before?
[12:46] Tinasha
    Yes.
[12:47] Tinasha
    I was asked to help exterminate a demon.
[12:50] Oscar
    I see.
[12:52] Tinasha
    If something feels wrong,
    just shout my name.
[12:56] Oscar
    Got it.
[12:58] Oscar
    What about you?
[12:59] Tinasha
    I'll be on-site.
[13:01] Tinasha
    Somewhere you can see me.
SIGN    Gandona Founding Day Celebration
[13:10] Travis
    How about a drink?
[13:14] Tinasha
    No thanks.
[13:16] Tinasha
    You know I don't drink, Travis.
SIGN    Travis Higher Demon
[13:18] Travis
    Long time no see.
[13:20] Travis
    You've grown into a fine woman.
[13:22] Travis
    Is it because you found a man?
[13:24] Tinasha
    The total opposite.
[13:25] Tinasha
    I've matured because I was injured.
[13:29] Travis
    So much power, yet you
    managed to injure yourself.
[13:32] Travis
    Humans sure are fragile.
[13:37] Travis
    That strange human is your lover, huh?
[13:41] Travis
    If he was a woman, I'd want him for myself.
[13:44] Travis
    What a shame.
[13:45] Tinasha
    Don't be so creepy.
[13:48] Tinasha
    So? What are you doing here?
[13:51] Tinasha
    Up to your old tricks?
[13:53] Travis
    I'm a duke in this country now.
[13:55] Travis
    And I've got my eye on a girl.
[13:57] Tinasha
    I feel sorry for her.
[14:05] Travis
    You sure have gone soft.
[14:07] Travis
    I bet I could kill you now.
[14:10] Tinasha
    Why don't you try?
[14:12] Travis
    Oh, now that's the feistiness I remember.
[14:17] Travis
    I'll leave you alone.
[14:18] Travis
    If I cause trouble, someone won't be—
[14:20] Aurelia
    Travis!
[14:21] Aurelia
    Hitting on women again?
[14:23] Aurelia
    What if it turns into a diplomatic problem?
[14:26] Travis
    She's a member of the Gandona royal family.
SIGN    Aurelia Gandona Royalty
[14:29] Travis
    I'm acting as her guardian.
[14:34] Aurelia
    I apologize for his behavior.
[14:36] Aurelia
    My name is Aurelia Canao Naysha Faurecia.
[14:41] Tinasha
    I'm Tinasha As Meyer Ur Aeterna Tuldarr.
[14:45] Aurelia
    Hey, she's the fiancée to the king of Farsas!
[14:49] Travis
    We're old acquaintances.
[14:51] Travis
    Wait, you two are engaged?
[14:54] Tinasha
    Publicly, at least.
[14:56] Travis
    Fascinating.
[14:58] Travis
    I'd love to see you two have a child.
[15:02] Tinasha
    I wouldn't, which is why I'm
    on the fence about marriage.
[15:07] Aurelia
    Do you not like children?
[15:09] Tinasha
    What?
[15:13] Tinasha
    No, that's not it.
[15:16] Travis
    She's a witch, after all.
[15:18] Travis
    I bet she's scared her child will be one, too.
[15:23] Aurelia
    I may not know how hard
    witches like you have it,
[15:28] Aurelia
    but I imagine bearing a child must
    come with both hardship and joy.
[15:32] Aurelia
    Instead of choosing not to
    give birth due to such fears,
[15:35] Aurelia
    I believe your child would rather be born,
    to share in both the good and the bad.
[15:42] Aurelia
    I apologize for saying too much.
[15:48] Tinasha
    What an exceptional girl.
[15:50] Travis
    She was born with a strange
    power that she never asked for.
[15:55] Tinasha
    Really?
[15:57] Tinasha
    I've said something awful.
[16:00] Travis
    She's not so weak as to be hurt by that.
[16:03] Travis
    More importantly, how does it feel to be
    lectured by a girl four hundred years younger?
[16:10] Tinasha
    It hits hard.
[16:16] Oscar
    It seems the princess of Yarda went missing
    before she reached the Gandona border.
[16:22] Tinasha
    Sounds like a serious problem.
[16:24] Oscar
    There's been internal strife
    in the royal court,
[16:27] Oscar
    and some of them are even preparing for war.
[16:30] Tinasha
    Any others in the royal family?
[16:34] Oscar
    I think she has an older brother.
[16:35] Tinasha
    If you think it might escalate,
    I can send a familiar to scout things out.
[16:39] Oscar
    Well...
[16:41] Oscar
    Let's wait until it looks like
    it'll draw out longer.
[16:45] Tinasha
    As you wish.
[16:49] Tinasha
    What? That's dangerou—
[16:51] Oscar
    I saw you talking with a man
    during the ceremony.
[16:56] Tinasha
    You were watching?
[16:57] Oscar
    I heard he's a duke here,
    but he had a strange aura.
[17:01] Oscar
    Is he human?
[17:04] Tinasha
    I don't think most humans
    could see through that.
[17:08] Tinasha
    That man is the highest ranked of all demons.
[17:12] Tinasha
    He's what you would call the demon king.
[17:16] Tinasha
    He's the demon I mentioned earlier,
    who I was asked to exterminate in Gandona.
[17:22] Oscar
    That's one hell of a tale.
[17:26] Oscar
    It looked like you two got along pretty well.
[17:29] Tinasha
    He has no interest in witches.
[17:32] Tinasha
    Actually, he seemed more attracted to you,
[17:35] Tinasha
    so don't you go near him.
[17:37] Oscar
    What's that all about?
[17:39] Oscar
    Listening to you is going to
    give me a headache.
[18:00] Oscar
    What's going on?
[18:01] Oscar
    An outbreak of demons?
[18:03] Als
    I'm so sorry for disturbing you!
[18:14] Oscar
    Hey!
[18:15] Oscar
    Don't come out dressed like that!
[18:17] Tinasha
    This is...
[18:19] Tinasha
    Do you have a death wish?
[18:23] Oscar
    That idiot!
[18:28] Tinasha
    Ring, bind her!
[18:33] Tinasha
    Why are you here?
[18:36] Aderayya
    I was commanded by my master.
[18:39] Tinasha
    And who's your master?
[18:42] Aderayya
    No one at all.
[18:44] Tinasha
    Then perish here!
[18:54] Tinasha
    What in the world?!
[18:56] Travis
    Are you trying to pick a fight?
[18:58] Tinasha
    Travis!
[19:00] Tinasha
    What are you doing out here?
[19:03] Travis
    I was going after the man.
[19:05] Travis
    He dared to try and kill Aurelia.
[19:08] Travis
    What utter disrespect.
[19:11] Tinasha
    Is she safe?
[19:13] Travis
    I put up a barrier and I have
    servants watching her.
[19:16] Travis
    I will say, that's one skimpy getup.
[19:21] Tinasha
    H-He's going to be so mad!
[19:28] Kumu
    The prime minister of Gandona
    was killed, along with other casualties.
[19:33] Kumu
    It seems Lady Tinasha
    was suspected at one point.
[19:37] Oscar
    That's what you get for behaving rashly.
[19:39] Oscar
    If you're going to run off,
    at least finish the job.
[19:42] Tinasha
    I thought I could do it.
[19:45] Tinasha
    But I have a good idea of who it was now.
[19:48] Oscar
    What, did you see someone you recognized?
[19:51] Tinasha
    No, I mean the culprit pulling the strings.
[19:56] Oscar
    If you know who it is, be clear about it.
[20:00] Tinasha
    Leonora.
[20:01] Tinasha
    The Witch Who Cannot Be Summoned.
[20:03] Oscar
    A witch?!
[20:06] Tinasha
    If she's the mastermind, then it's clear
    why you and Aurelia were targets.
[20:12] Oscar
    Why's that?
[20:13] Oscar
    I don't know her.
[20:15] Tinasha
    I heard that Leonora was
    treated cruelly by Travis in the past.
[20:19] Tinasha
    I happen to have faced her in battle once.
[20:23] Tinasha
    Maybe I shouldn't have said
    all those nasty things to her.
[20:27] Oscar
    In other words,
    the Witch Who Cannot Be Summoned
[20:30] Oscar
    holds a personal grudge against you two.
[20:33] Tinasha
    Travis tells me that she's in Yarda
    right now, in good favor with the prince.
[20:40] Oscar
    What's the meaning of this?
[20:42] Oscar
    I thought witches didn't want
    to meddle with nations or wars.
[20:46] Tinasha
    Ostensibly, yes.
[20:48] Tinasha
    But Leonora loves lurking in
    the shadows, building and destroying nations.
[20:54] Tinasha
    She's got an unusually large number
    of servants for a witch.
[20:57] Tinasha
    It'd be easy for her to get royalty
    and nobility to do her bidding.
[21:01] Tinasha
    I even hear she encased
    an entire castle in amber once.
[21:06] Oscar
    The Amber Castle?
[21:08] Oscar
    So it really did exist...
[21:11] Tinasha
    That was before my time, though.
[21:15] Oscar
    Why are there so many ludicrous
    tales surrounding you witches?
[21:20] Tinasha
    Probably since our lifespans
    are many times longer than yours.
[21:24] Tinasha
    Okay, I'll be off to kill her, then.
[21:27] Oscar
    Not happening.
[21:28] Oscar
    Just assume you're not allowed
    to go off on your own anymore.
[21:34] Als
    Yarda is probably
    the biggest victim in all of this.
[21:38] Als
    The internal strife is a sign that
[21:40] Als
    the Witch Who Cannot Be Summoned
    is making arrangements.
[21:44] Kumu
    The question is, will she target
    Farsas or Gandona afterwards?
[21:48] Als
    In that case, why don't we contact
    the forces opposing the prince?
[21:53] Oscar
    I see.
[21:56] Oscar
    Perhaps that princess who went missing
    might know something.
