**[00:01] Freese**
*Raeliana, this is Freese Eriteal.*
**[00:05] Freese**
* I know you suffered through a*
* terrible experience with the Brooks scandal.*
**[00:10] Freese**
*Have you been well since then?*
**[00:14] Freese**
* I have enclosed the invitation*
* to the gathering that I promised you.*
**[00:20] Raeliana**
Thanks, Freese!
**[00:21] Raeliana**
Now Noah will owe me one!
**[00:24] Freese**
* I look forward to seeing you*
* at the monster hunt.*
**[00:33] Raeliana**
*Right, the monster hunt...*
**[00:41] Raeliana**
* A three-day event held every year*
* in the Sycret Mountains*
**[00:45] Raeliana**
*in preparation for winter.*
**[00:48] Raeliana**
* Monsters come down from*
* the mountains looking for food in winter.*
**[00:51] Raeliana**
* The hunt is a state project held*
* to stop them from attacking citizens.*
**[00:56] Raeliana**
* Nobles famous for their*
* combat prowess participate,*
**[01:00] Raeliana**
* and they offer the monsters they caught*
* to the lady of their choice.*
**[01:04] Raeliana**
* But I'm told Noah has never*
* offered his monsters to anyone,*
**[01:09] Raeliana**
*so it has nothing to do with me, right?*
**[01:17] Raeliana**
* These are... the letters*
* I wrote to Beatrice?*
**[01:21] Raeliana**
*They were returned? But why?*
**[01:26] Raeliana**
*The name and address are correct.*
**[01:30] Raeliana**
* Was there some reason she*
* couldn't receive letters?*
**[01:37] Raeliana**
*Surely not...*
**[03:14] Raeliana**
* Originally, what prompts the protagonist*
* Beatrice to return from abroad*
**[03:19] Raeliana**
*is Raeliana's death.*
**[03:21] Raeliana**
*But Raeliana survived.*
**[03:25] Raeliana**
* As things stand, Beatrice will*
* never return from abroad,*
**[03:29] Raeliana**
*which is why I sent letters.*
**[03:31] Raeliana**
* I wouldn't think a story change as minor*
* as receiving a summons from Raeliana*
**[03:36] Raeliana**
*would have that great an effect.*
**[03:39] Raeliana**
*In fact...*
**[03:42] Raeliana**
*I only acted because my life depended on it.*
**[03:46] Raeliana**
* I never had any intention*
* of ruining this story.*
**[03:49] Raeliana**
*Yet...*
**[03:51] Raeliana**
* If my surviving caused some*
* fundamental change in the story...*
**[03:58] Teacher**
My lady...
**[04:00] Teacher**
y-you have done lovely work... but...
**[04:05] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[04:13] Teacher**
If you intend to present it to the duke,
**[04:16] Teacher**
why not use the bamboo-leaf oak
and birds depicted in his family crest?
**[04:20] Teacher**
Though, to my knowledge,
the duke has never accepted any handkerchiefs
**[04:25] Teacher**
presented to him by ladies...
**[04:29] Raeliana**
* I never intended to give it*
* to him, actually.*
**[04:33] Teacher**
But you are his one
and only fiancée, after all.
**[04:39] Raeliana**
*Isn't it normal to have only one of those?!*
**[04:41] Raeliana**
*What kind of scumbag does she think Noah is?*
**[05:13] Raeliana**
* I had heard that he'd be busy*
* because of the monster hunt, but...*
**[05:24] Raeliana**
* Still, I've never seen him*
* sleeping like this before.*
**[05:33] Raeliana**
*He was born with such good looks.*
**[05:36] Raeliana**
* He could act like he*
* enjoys life a little more.*
**[05:40] Raeliana**
* Then again, he is*
* the leading male in this story.*
**[05:45] Raeliana**
* In the end, he ends up*
* with the female lead in a happy ending.*
**[05:51] Raeliana**
*With Beatrice Trancet.*
**[05:54] Raeliana**
* They first meet as a result*
* of a misunderstanding,*
**[05:58] Raeliana**
*giving them a terrible start.*
**[05:59] Raeliana**
* But for some reason,*
* Beatrice is drawn to him...*
**[06:09] Raeliana**
* They continue to be met by one*
* chance encounter after another,*
**[06:14] Raeliana**
* and then, one windy day,*
* as her hair flutters about her face,*
**[06:20] Raeliana**
* Noah suddenly murmurs her name*
* as he falls in love with her.*
**[06:24] Raeliana**
*Beatri—*
**[06:25] Noah**
Raeliana.
**[06:28] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[06:31] Noah**
Raeliana?
**[06:33] Raeliana**
Uh... I-I was...
**[06:37] Raeliana**
*What excuse can I even make here?!*
**[06:39] Raeliana**
*He caught me sneaking a look at his face!*
**[06:42] Raeliana**
* That he just looked so*
* handsome in his sleep?*
**[06:44] Raeliana**
*No, no, no, no, no!*
**[06:46] Noah**
Are you not feeling well?
Your face is very red.
**[06:50] Raeliana**
That's just... um...
**[07:04] Raeliana**
I-It's just hot.
**[07:09] Raeliana**
*Ouch!*
**[07:11] Raeliana**
Noah!
**[07:13] Noah**
Sneaking a look at someone's
face as they sleep, eh?
**[07:16] Raeliana**
Led go ud me.
**[07:18] Noah**
"Led go ud me"?
**[07:20] Raeliana**
Led go ud me... please.
**[07:24] Noah**
Don't you mean, "I'm sorry"?
**[07:25] Raeliana**
*What?!*
**[07:27] Raeliana**
* And he watched me when*
* I was sleeping before, too!*
**[07:30] Noah**
How did sneaking around like
that make you feel?
**[07:35] Noah**
I had no idea you were into such things.
**[07:38] Raeliana**
I'm... sorry.
**[07:42] Noah**
Good enough.
**[07:46] Noah**
Raeliana?
**[08:02] Raeliana**
He's so infuriating!
**[08:16] Noah**
Not bad at all.
**[08:22] Haley**
It's extremely cold where you're going.
**[08:24] Haley**
This is the bare minimum you should wear.
**[08:28] Raeliana**
With all this on, I feel
like summer's already here.
**[08:33] Haley**
You mustn't underestimate
how cold it is in those mountains.
**[08:37] Haley**
In Sycret, people freeze
to death even in autumn!
**[08:41] Raeliana**
* I won't even be able to*
* eat on my own in all this.*
**[08:49] Gideon**
Please place your things here, my lady.
**[08:52] Gideon**
Good morning, my lady.
**[08:56] Raeliana**
Good morning, Gideon.
**[09:00] Raeliana**
I've heard where I'm going is very cold.
**[09:03] Gideon**
Yes, in Sycret, people freeze
to death even in autumn.
**[09:08] Raeliana**
That again?
**[09:12] Vivian**
Are you sure you won't be coming, Brother?
**[09:16] Vivian**
All the combat veterans will be there.
**[09:20] Justin**
I only just returned from my trip abroad.
**[09:23] Justin**
Let me have this break.
**[09:25] Vivian**
I'll be on my way, then.
**[09:30] Justin**
Take care.
**[09:36] Keith**
This concludes the opening ceremony.
**[09:39] Keith**
I wish you all the best of luck.
**[10:07] Raeliana**
* I guess it doesn't even matter to them*
* whether Noah has a fiancée or not.*
**[10:13] Ansley**
My lady?
**[10:15] Ansley**
My lady, you're looking very... warm today.
**[10:20] Raeliana**
I heard it would be cold here.
**[10:23] Ansley**
Yes, in Sycret, people freeze
to death even in autumn.
**[10:27] Raeliana**
* Is that Sycret's official*
* slogan or something?*
**[10:30] Ansley**
My lady, your hand, please.
**[10:32] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[10:43] Raeliana**
*A vow to a lady?*
**[10:46] Raeliana**
Will you be participating
in the hunt, as well?
**[10:49] Ansley**
Yes.
**[10:50] Raeliana**
I had no idea...
**[10:52] Raeliana**
I didn't make a handkerchief for you.
**[10:54] Ansley**
That's all right.
**[10:55] Ansley**
I didn't come here just
to receive a handkerchief.
**[10:59] Raeliana**
Still...
**[11:02] Ansley**
In that case...
**[11:12] Ansley**
This is enough for me!
**[11:14] Raeliana**
Dame Ansley...
**[11:17] Ansley**
Well, wish me luck.
**[11:20] Raeliana**
*What a dreamboat...*
**[11:23] Noah**
Raeliana...
**[11:25] Noah**
Raeliana?
**[11:27] Raeliana**
Noah...
**[11:30] Noah**
You look very...
**[11:31] Raeliana**
Warm, right?
**[11:33] Raeliana**
In Sycret, people freeze
to death even in autumn.
**[11:38] Noah**
More importantly,
aren't you forgetting something?
**[11:43] Raeliana**
Oh, right!
**[11:45] Raeliana**
Master Taylor, please wait just a moment.
**[11:48] Noah**
Master Taylor?
**[11:53] Noah**
Quite gutsy of you to give a handkerchief
**[11:55] Noah**
to another man right
in front of your beloved fiancé.
**[11:59] Raeliana**
Oh? "Beloved fiancé"?
**[12:01] Raeliana**
I do believe you are mistaken.
**[12:04] Noah**
Should we not at least stick
to the script we both agreed upon?
**[12:11] Raeliana**
What is it you want?
**[12:13] Noah**
A handkerchief.
**[12:15] Raeliana**
I don't have one!
**[12:17] Noah**
Then what's this?
**[12:18] Raeliana**
It's Master Taylor's.
**[12:20] Noah**
You and your little jokes...
**[12:22] Raeliana**
*He just never gives up, does he?*
**[12:24] Raeliana**
I thought it was your policy
not to accept handkerchiefs.
**[12:27] Noah**
I'm in the mood to accept one today.
**[12:29] Raeliana**
But you turned them down
from other people earlier!
**[12:32] Noah**
I want one from my fiancée.
**[12:37] Raeliana**
Oh, what shall I do?
**[12:39] Raeliana**
I was certain you wouldn't want one.
**[12:41] Noah**
Then I'll just have to
accept this one instead.
**[12:45] Raeliana**
Give that back!
**[12:47] Raeliana**
*He's never accepted one before in his life!*
**[12:50] Raeliana**
*Where's this coming from?!*
**[12:54] Raeliana**
All right, fine.
**[12:59] Raeliana**
More importantly,
aren't you forgetting something?
**[13:02] Noah**
Am I?
**[13:12] Raeliana**
*Well, go on! Lower your head already!*
**[13:16] Noah**
Oh, dear. Do forgive me.
**[13:35] Raeliana**
* What the heck?!*
* He could just do it normally!*
**[13:38] Raeliana**
*He's so dramatic!*
**[13:40] Raeliana**
Here.
**[13:45] Raeliana**
Well, do be careful.
**[14:03] Taylor**
*Is she asking me to bring back a dragon?*
**[14:14] Raeliana**
*The air is so clean here.*
**[14:17] Raeliana**
* This is my first time leaving the capital*
* since I came to this world.*
**[14:22] Raeliana**
* So this is the wall erected by the Granger*
* family to protect the front line of Sycret...*
**[14:34] Woman1**
Please be careful.
**[14:37] Knight**
For you, I would give my very life.
**[14:40] Stephanie**
They way they're acting,
you'd think they were going off to war.
**[14:45] Raeliana**
*Stephanie Carlisle.*
**[14:48] Raeliana**
*Christine Barkley.*
**[14:50] Vivian**
It must be their first time.
**[14:52] Vivian**
You must try to understand
if they seem a bit dramatic.
**[14:56] Raeliana**
*Vivian Shamal.*
**[14:58] Raeliana**
* They gave Beatrice a rough*
* time throughout the novel.*
**[15:08] Noah**
Raeliana!
**[15:20] Raeliana**
* He's just going to hunt some monsters.*
* He'll be fine, right?*
**[15:26] Jasper**
Miss McMillan.
**[15:28] Jasper**
Those are the claw marks of a creoder.
**[15:31] Raeliana**
*The lord of Sycret Castle, Jasper Granger.*
**[15:36] Jasper**
It's a terribly fierce monster
with the appearance of a black lion.
**[15:41] Jasper**
One might call it the true lord
of the Sycret Mountains.
**[15:45] Jasper**
One day, I will capture it
with my own hands.
**[15:48] Jasper**
That is my dream.
**[15:54] Vivian**
Miss McMillan...
**[15:58] Vivian**
Please come and have a seat.
**[16:01] Raeliana**
I do appreciate the offer,
but I humbly decline.
**[16:05] Raeliana**
*I'm not stupid enough to sit beside you.*
**[16:10] Christine**
Well, well!
**[16:12] Christine**
If it isn't the Duke's fiancée!
**[16:15] Stephanie**
You must sit in the center, of course.
**[16:18] Christine**
Come, now.
**[16:22] Christine**
Oh, yes!
**[16:24] Christine**
In the last hunt, Lady Shamal was presented
**[16:26] Christine**
with three high-ranking monsters, right?
**[16:30] Stephanie**
Yes. I look forward to seeing
how this hunt ends, as well.
**[16:33] Vivian**
I only pray that no one out
hunting finds themselves in danger.
**[16:39] Raeliana**
M-My, how admirable of you, Lady Shamal.
**[16:45] Vivian**
Oh, it's nothing.
**[16:46] Raeliana**
*Is she happy now?*
**[16:48] Raeliana**
Um, where is Lady Eriteal?
**[16:51] Vivian**
It seems she's caught a cold
and won't be joining us.
**[16:55] Vivian**
What about you, Miss McMillan?
Are you feeling all right?
**[16:59] Vivian**
With the Duke out on the hunt...
**[17:06] Raeliana**
* What a disgusting attitude.*
* She thinks I don't know?*
**[17:10] Raeliana**
Whatever do you mean?
**[17:12] Vivian**
Oh, my!
**[17:13] Vivian**
Were you not aware that the Duke
has never offered a monster to anyone before?
**[17:20] Stephanie**
Miss McMillan has never been
a part of the monster hunt before.
**[17:24] Stephanie**
Of course she wouldn't know.
**[17:26] Christine**
And it would seem she didn't
have anyone to inform her.
**[17:30] Vivian**
Yes, it's true that low-ranking
women don't usually come to the hunt.
**[17:36] Vivian**
There's nothing else to be done.
**[17:38] Vivian**
We shall have to teach
Miss McMillan all she needs to know.
**[17:45] Raeliana**
I'm quite all right.
**[17:47] Raeliana**
Just the fact that the duke accepted
my handkerchief is enough for me.
**[17:53] Raeliana**
Incidentally,
**[17:54] Raeliana**
I heard that he's never accepted
a handkerchief from anyone before.
**[17:59] Raeliana**
Is that true?
**[18:01] Raeliana**
I don't know the Duke as well as you all do.
**[18:04] Raeliana**
It's terribly embarrassing.
**[18:06] Raeliana**
So might I ask you to continue
teaching me so that, little by little,
**[18:10] Raeliana**
I might understand things better?
**[18:13] Raeliana**
Oh, dear. Have I said something imprudent?
**[18:21] Stephanie**
W-Well...
**[18:23] Stephanie**
If he hadn't accepted the handkerchief then,
**[18:26] Stephanie**
it would put Miss McMillan
in an awful position as his fiancée.
**[18:30] Christine**
Y-Yes!
**[18:32] Christine**
I'm sure he'll bring back
at least one high-ranking monster.
**[18:36] Raeliana**
Yes.
**[18:38] Raeliana**
If he truly thinks so fondly of me,
**[18:41] Raeliana**
that makes me happier than any number
of monsters he could bring back.
**[18:45] Raeliana**
And don't you think being
loved by the one you love...
**[18:51] Raeliana**
is much better than being
loved by a hundred others,
**[18:56] Raeliana**
Lady Vivian?
**[18:59] Vivian**
Wh-Why do you ask *me* that?!
**[19:03] Raeliana**
I assumed you would understand
better than all the other ladies.
**[19:07] Raeliana**
Am I wrong?
**[19:09] Vivian**
W-Well...
**[19:12] Raeliana**
*It's common knowledge that Vivian has*
**[19:15] Raeliana**
* been making all kinds*
* of intense passes at Noah.*
**[19:19] Christine**
Miss McMillan!
**[19:20] Christine**
It looks as if your salmon has gone bad!
**[19:23] Stephanie**
Get the head chef out here at once!
**[19:26] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[19:28] Stephanie**
The Duke's fiancée has eaten rotten food!
**[19:32] Stephanie**
This is an emergency!
**[19:35] Raeliana**
Wh-What are you talking—
**[19:37] Stephanie**
Perhaps you should rest in your room?
**[19:40] Stephanie**
You mustn't overdo it.
**[19:43] Raeliana**
*Ugh...*
**[19:52] Woman**
The weather certainly doesn't look good.
**[19:55] Raeliana**
*I can't see the Wynknight crest.*
**[19:58] Raeliana**
*Did he go that deep into the mountains?*
**[20:01] Keith**
The rain will make it
difficult to walk, too.
**[20:05] Keith**
And there are high-ranking monsters
that are more active in rain.
**[20:11] Raeliana**
*I have a bad feeling...*
**[20:23] Stephanie**
Oh, dear! You should have dodged.
**[20:26] Christine**
Indeed!
**[20:29] Raeliana**
*These girls again...*
**[20:31] Raeliana**
I had no idea your vision
was as poor as your discernment.
**[20:35] Stephanie**
Wha—
**[20:36] Stephanie**
What do you mean by that?!
**[20:38] Raeliana**
Don't feel bad.
**[20:41] Raeliana**
Failing to consider your immaturity
was my own mistake.
**[20:45] Raeliana**
*Seriously, who does something that childish?*
**[21:03] Raeliana**
What was that sound?
**[21:05] Maid**
Ah, right.
**[21:07] Maid**
It would seem the first group has returned.
**[21:16] Maid**
That's... an affitee elk, if I'm not mistaken.
**[21:19] Maid**
A high-ranking monster, I believe.
**[21:22] Knight**
This is our top monster of the day!
**[21:24] Knight**
I present it to the beautiful Lady Shamal!
**[21:28] Vivian**
Thank you kindly.
**[21:30] Knight1**
I present this to Lady Shamal, as well!
**[21:33] Knight2**
I present this to Lady Shamal, as well!
**[21:36] Vivian**
Thank you so much.
**[21:39] Raeliana**
*Noah's group is still out there?*
**[21:52] Raeliana**
Dame Ansley?!
**[21:55] Raeliana**
Dame Ansley, are you all right?
**[21:57] Raeliana**
Dame Ansley!
**[21:59] Raeliana**
Where are the others who were
with you? What happened?
**[22:04] Ansley**
H-Hell...
**[22:11] Raeliana**
Hell?
**[22:23] Raeliana**
Noah...
