WEBVTT

00:02.750 --> 00:05.370
Are you okay, Carmilla? Are you sick?

00:07.100 --> 00:10.630
Very humorous, suggesting that 
the greatest of the undead

00:10.630 --> 00:12.360
could get sick.

00:13.760 --> 00:15.890
Well, if you're sure.

00:15.890 --> 00:19.890
Someone might have me on their mind.

00:20.870 --> 00:23.010
You must be popular!

00:24.230 --> 00:26.100
You little flatterer!

00:26.400 --> 00:28.860
Your stew was quite flavorful, Lily.

00:30.090 --> 00:32.360
You're good at flattery yourself!

00:35.390 --> 00:37.430
Zenos! Welcome back.

00:53.090 --> 01:00.600
<b>The Brilliant Healer's
New Life in the Shadows</b>

02:09.170 --> 02:10.460
I see.

02:10.460 --> 02:14.840
Undead being drawn to stronger undead, eh?

02:16.100 --> 02:17.400
You knew about that?

02:17.400 --> 02:19.970
I did not, but it's no surprise.

02:19.970 --> 02:24.600
I suppose my overwhelmingly charismatic 
aura must have also overflowed!

02:24.600 --> 02:27.980
Kneel down, human fools!

02:30.270 --> 02:33.070
What now? Will you kick me out?

02:33.070 --> 02:34.110
Nah.

02:34.400 --> 02:38.660
Given how you affect your surroundings, 
it's probably safer to keep you by my side.

02:40.030 --> 02:45.210
I... I want him to say that about me, too!

02:45.870 --> 02:49.650
"Lily. Stay by my side."

02:52.050 --> 02:54.230
Carmilla? Something wrong?

02:52.580 --> 02:56.460
It's 'cuz I'm Zenos's ideal wife!

02:54.740 --> 02:56.460
It's nothing.

02:57.020 --> 03:00.470
Asking a wraith, an entity despised 
by all, to stay by your side...

03:00.470 --> 03:03.220
You are as odd as they come.

03:04.160 --> 03:07.970
Very well. I will dedicate all my 
energy to being a nuisance, then.

03:07.970 --> 03:09.980
Did you actually think that sounded cool?

03:13.480 --> 03:18.470
Cresson, you seem to have performed quite 
wonderfully during the undead extermination.

03:18.470 --> 03:19.860
W-Well, sure!

03:20.110 --> 03:24.490
The other students who joined you 
have been singing your praises.

03:24.490 --> 03:26.120
It's impressive.

03:28.640 --> 03:31.640
That said, the fact that 
you did such an amazing job

03:31.640 --> 03:35.860
means that the special research student, 
Zeno, failed to live up to expectations.

03:36.640 --> 03:39.590
Continue to dedicate yourself 
to the professor's cause.

03:39.590 --> 03:42.020
You're free to go, Cresson.

03:42.020 --> 03:42.960
Right...

03:45.350 --> 03:46.600
Actually...

03:46.600 --> 03:48.380
I was awesome,

03:48.380 --> 03:52.350
but he—the special research student—
was actually really impressive.

03:52.350 --> 03:57.480
The hordes of undead and zombie king... 
He's the one who defeated them.

03:57.930 --> 04:00.230
What are you saying?

04:00.600 --> 04:04.160
The truth, sir. I saw it happen.

04:05.120 --> 04:07.050
If you'll excuse me.

04:10.950 --> 04:12.240
Damn it!

04:12.830 --> 04:16.270
We're even now, special research student.

04:18.290 --> 04:22.920
Zenos! The Goldran Research 
Lab is calling for you.

04:22.920 --> 04:24.800
Looks like you'll be invited to his faction.

04:24.800 --> 04:27.180
That's amazing!

04:25.040 --> 04:26.520
Really?

04:27.430 --> 04:29.780
I have to say, I'm impressed.

04:29.780 --> 04:32.980
I guess your undead extermination 
must've caught their eye.

04:32.980 --> 04:34.580
Huh...

04:34.580 --> 04:35.850
Are you surprised?

04:36.140 --> 04:40.730
I kinda thought the story was 
that Cresson took care of that.

04:40.730 --> 04:43.240
I'm not clear on the specifics, but...

04:43.640 --> 04:45.860
Guess this means we've cleared 
the first big obstacle.

04:45.860 --> 04:48.950
I'd think of it more as
reaching the starting line.

04:48.950 --> 04:51.740
You still have to be 
interviewed by the professor.

04:51.740 --> 04:54.470
What? There's still more?

04:54.470 --> 04:56.500
I was hoping this'd be more casual.

04:56.790 --> 04:59.200
Professor Goldran is a major mover

04:59.200 --> 05:02.320
who commands the majority of 
support in the Royal Hospital.

05:02.320 --> 05:04.840
He doesn't meet with just anyone.

05:04.840 --> 05:07.840
The more organized they are, 
the more of a pain they are, huh?

05:07.840 --> 05:09.850
I don't think I'm cut out for this stuff.

05:09.850 --> 05:14.220
And Professor Goldran is exceptionally 
particular when it comes to authority and honors.

05:14.220 --> 05:17.750
But isn't he an advanced healer?

05:17.750 --> 05:20.230
Doesn't that make you, an 
elite healer, more important?

05:20.580 --> 05:24.490
Unfortunately, political power 
and titles don't equate.

05:24.820 --> 05:29.110
Especially in my case, given that
I earned my title via developing drugs.

05:30.800 --> 05:34.120
Well, for now, I should probably 
go answer their call.

05:34.120 --> 05:36.040
I'll be praying for your success.

05:36.040 --> 05:38.400
You've got this, Zenos!

05:42.200 --> 05:43.960
Welcome, Zeno.

05:43.960 --> 05:47.090
I am the professor's second secretary.

05:47.390 --> 05:50.020
You're the special research student?

05:50.020 --> 05:52.350
What can you do?

05:52.350 --> 05:54.920
Healing's about the only thing I can do.

05:54.920 --> 05:56.980
How small...

05:56.980 --> 06:00.350
Any healer can do that.

06:00.350 --> 06:03.360
If you have power, then 
you should aim higher.

06:03.360 --> 06:08.480
You should know that healers hold 
special sway in our country.

06:08.480 --> 06:10.260
<i>Wait, they do?</i>

06:10.740 --> 06:14.030
You could even say this country's 
history is the history of healers...

06:14.030 --> 06:17.760
Yet, at the moment, the ruling class 
reaps the majority of the benefits.

06:17.760 --> 06:21.670
I intend to join them in the near future.

06:21.670 --> 06:25.360
This will ensure that our faction 
earns proportionate gains.

06:25.360 --> 06:29.170
Everyone deserves treatment equal 
to what they are capable of.

06:29.170 --> 06:31.050
That includes healers.

06:31.050 --> 06:33.900
Not all life is equal in value.

06:33.900 --> 06:35.970
It stands to reason that the wealthy

06:35.970 --> 06:39.060
and the impoverished would 
receive differing quality of care.

06:39.060 --> 06:43.810
Could you reproduce the magic circle 
you drew in your class right now?

06:43.810 --> 06:48.320
I'd like to see for myself whether 
or not you'll be of any use.

06:48.320 --> 06:50.450
And if you prove valuable,

06:50.450 --> 06:52.750
I'm prepared to welcome you.

07:01.520 --> 07:03.540
What exactly does this prove, though?

07:03.540 --> 07:06.770
The depth of your healing magic knowledge.

07:06.770 --> 07:09.920
And whether or not said knowledge 
has questionable roots.

07:13.430 --> 07:16.670
There are several different schools 
of magic circle conception,

07:16.670 --> 07:20.740
and with healing magic, there are certain 
principles that need to be minded.

07:20.740 --> 07:26.320
Any signs that they are not is an indicator 
that you did not receive an official education.

07:26.320 --> 07:32.380
Those who work for me must prove to 
be as legitimate as they are capable.

07:33.300 --> 07:35.290
What do you think, Professor?

07:35.820 --> 07:38.370
A fascinating magic circle.

07:38.370 --> 07:41.830
I've never seen these 
particular applications.

07:41.830 --> 07:46.040
And it does a fine job of minding 
the fundamentals, as well.

07:47.060 --> 07:49.080
You may join the lab starting tomorrow.

08:04.060 --> 08:05.020
What is all this?

08:06.040 --> 08:07.560
Look sharp, man!

08:07.560 --> 08:09.220
Hurry and line up!

08:10.240 --> 08:11.530
It's you...

08:11.530 --> 08:13.870
I'm Cresson, your senior in this group!

08:13.870 --> 08:17.200
Looks like you're a member of 
the Goldran Lab starting today.

08:17.200 --> 08:19.860
Which means you're gonna 
have to follow the rules!

08:19.860 --> 08:21.760
Sure, all right.

08:21.760 --> 08:27.490
I hope you realize the only reason you're a 
part of this is because I recommended you!

08:27.490 --> 08:29.170
You basically owe me your life!

08:29.170 --> 08:30.550
Really?

08:30.830 --> 08:33.670
Well, I am grateful. Why'd you do it, though?

08:35.050 --> 08:36.600
Isn't it obvious?

08:36.600 --> 08:40.060
I can use you to make my 
way up in the faction!

08:40.060 --> 08:42.110
You're an honest guy, huh?

08:42.790 --> 08:45.060
What's with the procession, anyway?

08:45.060 --> 08:47.770
It's for Professor Goldran's general rounds.

08:47.770 --> 08:50.480
He goes around visiting the patients

08:50.480 --> 08:54.190
with an entourage that he's at the head of.

08:54.190 --> 08:57.900
So... until I showed up, you 
were at the back of the line?

08:57.900 --> 08:59.440
Sh-Shut up!

08:59.440 --> 09:03.080
Just watch! I'm going to claw my way up!

09:03.080 --> 09:05.210
Okay. Good luck with that.

09:05.210 --> 09:08.240
Don't give me that pitying look!

09:12.030 --> 09:14.140
Does he really need all these people?

09:14.140 --> 09:16.290
It's all about creating an impression.

09:16.290 --> 09:19.430
Besides, the professor only visits 
people from the upper-upper crust.

09:21.310 --> 09:22.630
I wanna get a better look.

09:22.630 --> 09:24.810
Whoa! Where are you going?!

09:25.100 --> 09:27.310
<i>I need to know more about Goldran</i>

09:27.310 --> 09:29.940
<i>if I intend to find anything 
out about the disappearances.</i>

09:31.960 --> 09:37.320
Dr. Goldran, the pain has been so bad since 
I twisted my ankle on the side of the bed...

09:38.820 --> 09:41.070
It's a sprain.

09:41.070 --> 09:43.770
Three should be sufficient for this.

09:44.760 --> 09:45.650
<i>What is that?</i>

09:46.200 --> 09:49.290
Woven into a single ray of light,

09:49.290 --> 09:52.540
let the lost embers of life be your guidance,

09:52.540 --> 09:55.550
so that they may find their way home.

09:55.550 --> 09:57.380
Give Heal.

10:01.680 --> 10:03.680
The pain's gone!

10:03.680 --> 10:05.230
Thank you so much!

10:06.430 --> 10:09.100
Dude, don't just wander off!

10:10.650 --> 10:15.320
Sorry. But what was that magic 
where he used multiple healers?

10:15.320 --> 10:17.910
You don't even know that?

10:17.910 --> 10:20.990
The professor's specialty 
is health transfer magic.

10:20.990 --> 10:23.150
Health transfer magic?

10:23.150 --> 10:26.750
It's basically magic that transfers 
life force between people to heal.

10:26.750 --> 10:28.200
Pretty revolutionary, right?

10:28.200 --> 10:32.920
It can provide major results even if 
the caster isn't particularly powerful.

10:33.190 --> 10:35.780
Say you've got someone who's injured.

10:35.780 --> 10:38.900
You transfer someone else's 
life force into them

10:38.900 --> 10:42.130
in order to boost their recovery. 
That's health transfer magic.

10:42.130 --> 10:45.320
The worse the injury, the 
more life force it requires,

10:45.320 --> 10:47.380
so you need to prepare a larger number of

10:47.380 --> 10:50.910
healthy people to transfer the necessary 
bit of health to the patient.

10:50.910 --> 10:52.810
That way the patient is healed,

10:52.810 --> 10:55.830
and the burden on the donors is minimal.

10:55.830 --> 10:58.940
They only have to deal 
with a bit of exhaustion.

10:58.940 --> 11:01.020
That is interesting.

11:01.020 --> 11:04.170
It explains why he wants so 
many people for his faction.

11:04.170 --> 11:07.950
That's a part of it, yeah, but the biggest 
reason is probably the election for director.

11:07.950 --> 11:11.690
There are rumors that the current director, 
Shalbard, is going to retire soon.

11:11.690 --> 11:16.420
So he's trying to secure votes in 
preparation for the next election.

11:16.420 --> 11:19.670
At this rate, Professor Goldran's 
basically guaranteed to win.

11:21.000 --> 11:24.470
And if I ride the coattails of a winner, 
it'll mean a path straight to the top.

11:24.470 --> 11:26.820
I appreciate you filling me in like this.

11:26.820 --> 11:28.680
You're nicer than I figured.

11:28.680 --> 11:32.850
D-Don't be stupid! 
I'm just trying to use you!

11:32.850 --> 11:34.560
Since you're feeling so generous with info,

11:34.560 --> 11:36.740
I don't suppose you know 
someone named Afread, do you?

11:36.740 --> 11:38.440
Afread?

11:38.440 --> 11:43.200
The idiot who went missing despite the 
professor's hopes for him. Not a fan.

11:43.200 --> 11:45.200
Did anything seem off before he went missing?

11:45.200 --> 11:46.540
Hell if I know.

11:46.540 --> 11:50.310
He was invited to dinner and 
vanished right afterward.

11:50.310 --> 11:51.830
Dinner?

11:51.830 --> 11:55.930
The professor occasionally has dinner parties, and he invites all his favorites to them.

11:55.930 --> 11:59.050
Getting the invite basically guarantees 
you're one of his people in the future.

11:59.290 --> 12:01.900
Damn it! So jealous!

12:04.050 --> 12:06.910
This has all been very enlightening.

12:06.910 --> 12:09.480
Well, that about does it for me, right?

12:09.480 --> 12:11.560
Oh, hardly!

12:11.560 --> 12:15.690
This is a good hint, but still 
far from the evidence we need.

12:15.690 --> 12:19.660
The best thing to do would be to have you 
become one of Professor Goldran's favorites

12:19.660 --> 12:22.600
so that you could infiltrate 
one of these dinner parties.

12:22.600 --> 12:25.570
Pull that off and I'll pay you extra.

12:25.570 --> 12:27.110
In addition to making sure,

12:27.110 --> 12:30.570
as we originally agreed, that your 
underground operations aren't interrupted.

12:31.800 --> 12:34.580
I was kind of hoping to go home soon...

12:34.920 --> 12:36.990
However this plays out, once I'm done,

12:36.990 --> 12:39.170
I want you to tell me about my teacher.

12:39.170 --> 12:41.670
Of course. Everything I know.

12:46.080 --> 12:48.930
Zenos, I have a question for you.

12:48.930 --> 12:53.060
You see these coins scattered 
on the floor, yes?

12:53.060 --> 12:56.020
Now, I'd like to pick them up,

12:56.020 --> 12:58.880
but unfortunately, between 
research and meetings,

12:58.880 --> 13:00.940
I don't have the necessary time.

13:00.940 --> 13:04.440
So, if it was you, which 
would you pick up first?

13:06.370 --> 13:10.760
Do you believe that lives 
should be valued equally?

13:11.700 --> 13:13.950
Are you in, Dr. Becker?

13:13.950 --> 13:16.960
Oh, Zenos is here, too.

13:16.960 --> 13:18.760
Am I interrupting?

13:18.760 --> 13:21.770
Not at all. Just chatting a bit.

13:21.770 --> 13:23.330
I've got a meeting, right?

13:23.330 --> 13:24.920
Where was it again?

13:24.920 --> 13:27.940
Ugh... I'll show you the way.

13:27.940 --> 13:30.050
I'm always in your debt.

13:30.580 --> 13:32.310
I'm counting on you.

13:36.060 --> 13:38.340
I'll do what I can.

13:47.710 --> 13:50.130
Lynga might be a genius!

13:52.320 --> 13:57.620
Now I can sneak into Sir Zenos's bed on 
my own and sniff it as much as I want!

14:00.000 --> 14:01.380
Zophia?!

14:00.000 --> 14:01.380
Lynga?!

14:01.380 --> 14:03.130
What are you doing here?!

14:03.130 --> 14:05.010
I was gonna ask you the same thing.

14:06.500 --> 14:07.800
Oh, I see.

14:07.800 --> 14:09.720
You came to clean up, too?

14:09.720 --> 14:11.060
You, too?

14:12.300 --> 14:17.560
I'm a genius! Who else would think of 
cleaning the clinic while Zenos was out?!

14:18.790 --> 14:21.660
I kinda saw this coming, y'know.

14:21.660 --> 14:25.150
And a broken door means even more work...

14:25.960 --> 14:28.830
I guess the two of you showed up ahead of me.

14:39.860 --> 14:42.790
This is looking good! I did a fine job!

14:42.790 --> 14:45.300
Lynga did over half the work!

14:45.300 --> 14:47.880
And I have perfectly repaired the door!

14:47.880 --> 14:50.140
You're the one who broke it!

14:58.280 --> 15:02.440
I'm providing you the opportunity 
to help my glorious self!

15:02.440 --> 15:04.630
That means looking after the 
professor's beloved pup!

15:05.770 --> 15:08.110
You just have to watch her.

15:09.040 --> 15:13.940
Uh... you do more stuff for 
the lab than this, right?

15:13.940 --> 15:15.410
Of course I do!

15:15.410 --> 15:18.540
Other than walks, I also provide 
Madam Milk with her meals!

15:18.540 --> 15:22.300
In addition to washing 
and grooming... and more!

15:22.300 --> 15:24.540
Not exactly the answer I was expecting.

15:24.540 --> 15:29.420
The professor's meeting with the seven 
major nobles that he's currying favor with.

15:29.420 --> 15:31.760
Man, that's so cool!

15:31.760 --> 15:34.920
Then again, if I climb my way 
up the faction's ladder,

15:34.920 --> 15:38.450
I could be in the same position soon enough!

15:38.450 --> 15:40.560
You're hoping for a promotion, then?

15:41.150 --> 15:42.660
Of course I am!

15:42.660 --> 15:45.440
Once I become a big deal 
and join the upper crust,

15:45.440 --> 15:50.030
I'll have good food, good women, 
and peons to push around!

15:50.030 --> 15:52.900
That's why I'm working hard to be a healer!

15:53.220 --> 15:57.030
I thought being a healer was 
about, y'know, healing people.

15:57.860 --> 15:59.770
Ideally, maybe.

15:59.770 --> 16:01.810
I mean, sure, even I had a time when

16:01.810 --> 16:05.950
I dreamed about saving a bunch of 
lives or curing a terrible disease,

16:05.950 --> 16:08.500
but healing magic isn't all-powerful.

16:08.500 --> 16:10.510
There are things it just can't do.

16:10.510 --> 16:13.380
Y'know what's more reliable? Money and power!

16:15.140 --> 16:16.290
What?

16:16.290 --> 16:18.140
Hey, Cresson!

16:18.450 --> 16:21.810
Looking after Goldran's 
high and mighty mutt again?

16:21.810 --> 16:23.270
Mr. Bons!

16:23.270 --> 16:25.270
I'm doing what I can, yes.

16:25.670 --> 16:27.270
Damn it all...

16:27.270 --> 16:30.230
That is one smug-looking mutt.

16:30.510 --> 16:31.860
Ticks me off.

16:31.860 --> 16:34.770
Don't let the professor 
hear you say that, sir!

16:35.380 --> 16:37.830
Takes more than sucking up 
to get anywhere in life, boy.

16:39.280 --> 16:40.390
Who was that?

16:40.390 --> 16:42.870
Professor Goldran's first secretary.

16:43.170 --> 16:44.150
That guy?

16:44.150 --> 16:45.840
Unbelievable, right?

16:45.840 --> 16:49.160
They're apparently old friends, 
but he barely does any work,

16:49.160 --> 16:51.760
and he's usually drunk all day long.

16:51.760 --> 16:57.510
Can't believe he gets the spot of first 
secretary, even if they do go way back.

16:57.510 --> 16:58.780
Hey, Cresson!

16:58.780 --> 17:01.140
Y-Yes?! You called for me?

17:01.140 --> 17:03.020
You can have this booze!

17:06.660 --> 17:08.820
Oh, no! Madam Milk!

17:14.240 --> 17:16.360
Milk! Milk!

17:30.060 --> 17:32.130
Light of life that dwells deep within,

17:32.130 --> 17:35.630
hear my prayers, and let your 
blessing shine forth here!

17:35.630 --> 17:36.950
High Heal!

17:38.550 --> 17:40.540
It... It's not enough.

17:41.100 --> 17:44.610
She should be fine once the 
bleeding's stopped, right?

17:44.610 --> 17:46.490
That's not enough!

17:46.490 --> 17:48.400
There'll be scars!

17:49.020 --> 17:53.420
The professor loves Madam 
Milk's beautiful fur!

17:53.420 --> 17:55.490
I'm done for...

17:55.880 --> 17:59.520
I'm sorry for making a mess 
of you, too, Madam Milk...

18:00.240 --> 18:01.280
Heal.

18:02.010 --> 18:03.420
What do you think you're doing?!

18:03.420 --> 18:06.120
What's it look like? Casting healing magic.

18:06.120 --> 18:10.770
It's pointless! Maybe you have enough 
magic output to take out a zombie king,

18:10.770 --> 18:13.360
but the kind of finesse needed 
to regenerate skin is...

18:14.500 --> 18:15.880
She's fixed?!

18:15.880 --> 18:18.070
There's no trace of a scar!

18:18.070 --> 18:20.510
Isn't that the kind of magic Heal is?

18:20.510 --> 18:24.260
I fixed the ribs that had been cracked, 
too, so you can continue the walk,

18:24.260 --> 18:27.770
but I'd recommend letting 
her rest for today.

18:29.770 --> 18:32.910
That's not the kind of magic Heal is, man.

18:32.910 --> 18:35.780
Making yourself sound like an elite-grade...

18:37.300 --> 18:42.480
Stop right there, special research student! 
Looking after Madam Milk is my job!

18:50.300 --> 18:52.900
Hello, Zenos... er, Zeno.

18:53.430 --> 18:54.460
What's up?

18:55.770 --> 19:01.130
Well... if you don't mind, 
would you join me for a walk?

19:01.130 --> 19:02.380
A walk?

19:12.460 --> 19:14.730
Is there something you need to tell me?

19:14.730 --> 19:17.010
Well... it's...

19:18.180 --> 19:20.720
I... wanted to apologize.

19:21.780 --> 19:23.210
It's just...

19:24.920 --> 19:26.940
If I were more capable,

19:26.940 --> 19:30.080
I would've been able to get 
Professor Goldran's attention.

19:30.350 --> 19:34.710
Then you wouldn't have 
been dragged into this...

19:34.710 --> 19:37.270
I feel guilty.

19:37.270 --> 19:39.960
And you asked me out for 
a walk to tell me that?

19:39.960 --> 19:45.720
Yes. I'm sure an apology from me 
doesn't amount to much, but...

19:45.720 --> 19:49.320
I'll be taking payment for my efforts 
from Becker, so it's all good.

19:49.320 --> 19:50.730
Don't let it bother you.

19:50.730 --> 19:53.010
Be that as it may...

19:53.010 --> 19:55.230
Besides, without opportunities like these,

19:55.230 --> 19:58.540
I never would've set foot 
inside the Royal Hospital.

19:58.540 --> 20:01.350
I never would've had a chance 
to learn more about my teacher.

20:01.350 --> 20:03.450
There's plenty for me to gain.

20:03.870 --> 20:05.820
So you honestly don't need to worry.

20:06.100 --> 20:10.180
Still, if there's anything 
I can do, just ask.

20:10.830 --> 20:15.300
Come to think of it, what kind 
of person was your teacher?

20:15.300 --> 20:17.970
I honestly don't have much of a clue.

20:17.970 --> 20:22.410
He seemed kinda shady, but he taught me how to 
read and write, and about the outside world,

20:22.410 --> 20:27.100
to say nothing about diseases, injuries, 
and magic. Taught me a whole bunch.

20:27.460 --> 20:29.100
I basically owe him my life.

20:29.100 --> 20:33.480
That sounds a bit like Dr. Becker and myself.

20:33.940 --> 20:35.640
You owe him your life?

20:35.640 --> 20:36.980
Certainly!

20:36.980 --> 20:42.180
When I decided to become a 
healer, he mentored me closely.

20:42.180 --> 20:45.020
Granted, his dedication to research 
caused his girlfriend to leave him,

20:45.020 --> 20:48.700
so I'm basically looking after him...

20:48.700 --> 20:50.290
How do you even know him?

20:50.290 --> 20:51.980
Did I not mention it?

20:51.980 --> 20:54.420
He's my mother's little brother.

20:54.420 --> 20:56.330
My uncle, in other words.

20:56.640 --> 21:00.960
But I didn't amount to much, 
either in magic or in research.

21:00.960 --> 21:04.000
What kind of research are you doing, anyway?

21:04.000 --> 21:07.070
To put it simply, the storage of medication.

21:07.070 --> 21:12.710
At what temperature, what humidity, and 
other factors for how they should be stored.

21:12.710 --> 21:14.340
It's pretty boring.

21:14.340 --> 21:15.440
It is.

21:17.370 --> 21:21.320
But the most important things in 
life tend to be the boring ones.

21:21.320 --> 21:22.560
Zenos...

21:23.070 --> 21:26.320
That's just something my teacher told me.

21:26.320 --> 21:31.830
I was trying to apologize, and 
you ended up cheering me up.

21:31.830 --> 21:35.120
Sometimes it's best to rely on other people.

21:35.120 --> 21:38.140
I get plenty of help in my daily life, too.

21:38.140 --> 21:40.710
I can barely even get out of 
bed on my own in the morning.

21:41.840 --> 21:44.800
You're an interesting person, Zenos.

21:45.650 --> 21:47.460
Another prospective wife, eh?

21:47.460 --> 21:49.090
What was that?

21:49.090 --> 21:52.000
Don't worry about it.
I think we were followed.

21:52.000 --> 21:53.090
By who?

21:53.090 --> 21:57.390
And yet, not as exciting 
as I had hoped. One star.

21:57.390 --> 21:58.860
Quit scoring people.

22:10.200 --> 22:13.080
Please! You've gotta help me!

22:13.360 --> 22:15.330
Uh...

22:15.330 --> 22:16.930
I'm in a real bind here!

22:16.930 --> 22:18.760
Please help me!

22:18.760 --> 22:22.140
Now, this looks interesting! Three stars.

22:22.140 --> 22:24.400
Seriously, no more scores, okay?

23:55.550 --> 24:00.020
A Request from a Noble Lady

23:57.060 --> 23:58.930
"A Request from a Noble Lady."
