1
00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:35,250
Everyone's here, I see.
2
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:40,960
Then let us begin.
3
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,680
The Second Apostle
4
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,690
"The Second Apostle."
5
00:01:44,890 --> 00:01:46,030
"It is...
6
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,930
the Mona Lisa."
7
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,910
"I was..."
8
00:01:52,910 --> 00:01:57,630
...driving along the road
from Florence to Pisa.
9
00:01:58,580 --> 00:02:02,910
An ancient church suddenly caught
my eye, and I stopped the car.
10
00:02:03,380 --> 00:02:07,580
Climbing a stone-paved path
from Roman times,
11
00:02:07,580 --> 00:02:10,520
I came upon an old house.
12
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,360
I sensed a mysterious presence.
13
00:02:13,790 --> 00:02:19,620
I stepped inside and was
immediately met with an artist.
14
00:02:23,070 --> 00:02:26,960
I saw two paintings
covered in black cloth.
15
00:02:28,740 --> 00:02:34,190
The artist asked me, "Which do you love?"
16
00:02:35,980 --> 00:02:38,230
I asked in response,
17
00:02:38,230 --> 00:02:42,290
"When were these painted,
and who do they depict?"
18
00:02:42,950 --> 00:02:45,000
The artist replied,
19
00:02:45,780 --> 00:02:47,550
"The one on the left was done in spring
20
00:02:47,550 --> 00:02:49,850
and depicts a woman
who has just conceived."
21
00:02:50,370 --> 00:02:52,710
"The one on the right was done in summer,
22
00:02:53,290 --> 00:02:57,210
but I cannot tell you
who modeled for the painting."
23
00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:00,440
I understood everything.
24
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,780
The one I love is...
25
00:03:03,710 --> 00:03:06,020
"The painting on the left," it reads.
26
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,650
Yutaka went and made
the second one a real doozy, eh?
27
00:03:16,150 --> 00:03:17,840
That's fine.
28
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,990
I've learned a lot about wine.
29
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:27,020
If you're talking like that, you must
have no idea what you're up against.
30
00:03:28,190 --> 00:03:29,980
Just so we're clear,
31
00:03:29,980 --> 00:03:33,410
there won't be a repeat of the miracle
you had with the First Apostle.
32
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:34,890
Excuse me.
33
00:03:39,790 --> 00:03:43,470
Robert, is this one really that hard?
34
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:44,930
Yes.
35
00:03:44,930 --> 00:03:49,950
You could find your way to the last
apostle by carefully scrutinizing flavors.
36
00:03:49,950 --> 00:03:52,440
But not this one.
37
00:03:52,670 --> 00:03:55,550
You must unravel the
true riddle of the wine,
38
00:03:55,550 --> 00:03:58,390
as if you were solving the
mystery in a detective novel.
39
00:03:58,730 --> 00:04:01,660
So are you saying Tomine could do it?
40
00:04:01,660 --> 00:04:05,570
Not as he was during the battle
over the First Apostle.
41
00:04:05,570 --> 00:04:10,540
But it seems to me that his loss
has taught him an important lesson.
42
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,300
This won't be as easy as last time.
43
00:04:13,780 --> 00:04:14,990
I know that.
44
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,800
Surely you won't lose twice
in a row, will you, Issei-san?
45
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,570
Who wins and loses isn't
what's important.
46
00:04:29,490 --> 00:04:32,450
I'm taking this chance
to reach greater heights.
47
00:04:33,150 --> 00:04:35,040
The heights seen by Kanzaki Yutaka,
48
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,350
who could describe wine
in the words of God himself.
49
00:04:38,410 --> 00:04:40,030
Glad to hear it.
50
00:04:41,610 --> 00:04:45,270
Why, you haven't had anything to drink.
51
00:04:45,270 --> 00:04:48,200
I haven't had a drop of wine
for the past week.
52
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,460
What?
53
00:04:49,780 --> 00:04:52,200
This makes the first time
in the past few years.
54
00:04:52,670 --> 00:04:58,200
Not a day has gone by that
I didn't drink wine, let alone a week.
55
00:04:58,430 --> 00:05:02,390
Yet for the past week,
I've avoided anything like tastings
56
00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:05,630
or dinners that revolved around wine.
57
00:05:06,620 --> 00:05:09,640
It's been so long since
I've even picked it up...
58
00:05:10,030 --> 00:05:13,800
Oh, I can hear it! The voice of wine!
59
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,320
"Why don't you drink me?"
60
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:19,070
What I need is thirst!
61
00:05:19,620 --> 00:05:22,850
As a wanderer in search
of the Second Apostle!
62
00:05:24,270 --> 00:05:28,670
Speaking of, did you prepare
what I asked for?
63
00:05:28,670 --> 00:05:30,190
Y-Yes.
64
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,650
It's a very dangerous place, I'm told.
65
00:05:33,150 --> 00:05:36,320
Does this have something to do
with the "thirst" you speak of?
66
00:05:49,210 --> 00:05:51,220
The Taklamakan Desert.
67
00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:56,560
In the Uyghur language, it means "once
you enter, you will never leave alive."
68
00:05:57,710 --> 00:05:58,830
Now...
69
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,220
How close can I get to the
riddle of the Mona Lisa here?
70
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,740
I've seen the Mona Lisa several times.
71
00:06:11,740 --> 00:06:14,660
My dad took me to the Louvre a lot.
72
00:06:16,230 --> 00:06:20,580
The Mona Lisa was always important to him.
73
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,270
Is there some reason for that?
74
00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:25,360
If anybody knows the answer,
75
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,480
it'd be the man who's worked for him
since before I was born.
76
00:06:30,060 --> 00:06:33,460
Welcome home, Young Master Shizuku.
77
00:06:33,970 --> 00:06:36,910
Don't call me that, Yoshida-san.
78
00:06:36,910 --> 00:06:39,430
I've come with some questions today.
79
00:06:39,710 --> 00:06:43,690
Would you be willing
to hold them for later?
80
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:48,200
An old friend of mine
is visiting at the moment.
81
00:06:52,190 --> 00:06:53,880
Natsuyagi-sensei?!
82
00:06:54,510 --> 00:06:59,650
A-Are you Natsuyagi Maiko-sensei,
the mystery writer?
83
00:06:59,650 --> 00:07:00,590
Yeah.
84
00:07:00,590 --> 00:07:05,940
She consulted my dad when she was
working on a mystery that involved wine.
85
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:09,260
That's how Shizuku-kun and I first met.
86
00:07:09,260 --> 00:07:11,590
Now, is this sweetheart your girlfriend?
87
00:07:12,270 --> 00:07:14,520
Aw, no way...
88
00:07:14,930 --> 00:07:17,470
Taiyo Beer Sales Partner
89
00:07:14,930 --> 00:07:17,470
Wine Division Consultant
90
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:21,190
My name is Shinohara Miyabi.
I'm with Taiyo Beer's wine division.
91
00:07:21,190 --> 00:07:24,300
Oh, so you know him through wine as well.
92
00:07:24,630 --> 00:07:27,620
It's been a while, Sensei.
93
00:07:27,620 --> 00:07:29,310
Since my father's funeral?
94
00:07:29,310 --> 00:07:30,570
Indeed.
95
00:07:31,060 --> 00:07:35,300
I wanted Yoshida-san's
help with something.
96
00:07:36,010 --> 00:07:39,010
But if you work in wine,
97
00:07:39,010 --> 00:07:40,790
perhaps I'll ask you instead.
98
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,750
What is it?
99
00:07:43,620 --> 00:07:47,470
I received a strange bottle of wine.
100
00:07:47,470 --> 00:07:51,250
Wh-What is that? The label's pitch black.
101
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,620
The cork's been changed as well.
102
00:07:53,620 --> 00:07:55,770
It's sealed with red wax.
103
00:07:55,770 --> 00:07:59,940
A letter also arrived with the wine.
104
00:07:59,940 --> 00:08:01,430
Bacchus?
105
00:08:01,430 --> 00:08:02,940
The god of alcohol?
106
00:08:04,660 --> 00:08:08,670
"Apollo offered to Diana
and Diana offered to Apollo
107
00:08:08,670 --> 00:08:10,750
a single bottle of wine."
108
00:08:11,290 --> 00:08:12,970
"Emotions that cannot be forgotten."
109
00:08:12,970 --> 00:08:15,230
"Bonds that cannot be severed."
110
00:08:15,670 --> 00:08:20,400
"What do the right hands
of the newborn gods reveal to us?"
111
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,820
"Only those who find the answer
by the time of the banquet shall survive."
112
00:08:26,610 --> 00:08:28,300
What is this?
113
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:29,210
I don't know.
114
00:08:29,660 --> 00:08:34,640
If we take it literally,
the "banquet" is likely the party
115
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,670
I'm holding next week
to celebrate my latest novel.
116
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,830
Should I fail to identify
the wine by then,
117
00:08:41,830 --> 00:08:46,320
I will not survive...
is what I suppose it means to say.
118
00:08:46,950 --> 00:08:49,530
Don't tell me this is a threat!
119
00:08:49,530 --> 00:08:52,600
Wow, it's kind of like a mystery novel.
120
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,480
What do you think, Shizuku-kun?
Are they serious?
121
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:56,660
I couldn't say.
122
00:08:56,990 --> 00:09:01,560
But all we can do is open
the wine and drink it!
123
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:03,520
H-Hey, Shizuku-san!
124
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,420
You don't know what's in there!
125
00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:07,110
If something dangerous is mixed in,
126
00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:08,550
I'll know from the scent.
127
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,680
It's just wine.
128
00:09:19,410 --> 00:09:21,930
I should expect no less
from Yutaka-sensei's son.
129
00:09:21,930 --> 00:09:25,360
Natsuyagi-sensei, may I have a taste?
130
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,640
Of course.
131
00:09:31,830 --> 00:09:33,370
This is...
132
00:09:36,820 --> 00:09:38,870
Wh-What's wrong?
133
00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:41,160
A woman who looked like the Mona Lisa...
134
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,450
The Mona Lisa?
135
00:09:42,450 --> 00:09:44,780
So this is the Second Apostle?
136
00:09:44,780 --> 00:09:48,260
No, my image of the apostle
was that of a finished painting.
137
00:09:48,830 --> 00:09:52,290
This was more like glimpsing the moment
before she was painted...
138
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,850
It's difficult, huh?
139
00:09:54,850 --> 00:09:57,900
It's not difficult so much as...
How should I put it?
140
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:00,500
It's a strange wine. It feels... vague.
141
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,470
See if you can find
the answer for me, Shizuku-kun.
142
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:08,820
Or else Bacchus might kill me.
143
00:10:16,580 --> 00:10:18,030
No, thank you.
144
00:10:18,470 --> 00:10:20,770
Your lips are dry.
145
00:10:20,770 --> 00:10:22,700
It's cold here,
but this is still a desert.
146
00:10:22,990 --> 00:10:25,000
You should drink water.
147
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,340
You speak Japanese?
148
00:10:26,340 --> 00:10:27,620
Are you Japanese?
149
00:10:27,620 --> 00:10:28,690
No...
150
00:10:28,690 --> 00:10:30,750
My mother was.
151
00:10:30,750 --> 00:10:33,530
She taught me the language.
152
00:10:35,470 --> 00:10:36,570
Thank you.
153
00:10:37,420 --> 00:10:39,860
Would you like to ride on the camel?
154
00:10:39,860 --> 00:10:42,290
It'll be a full day before
we reach the next village.
155
00:10:42,290 --> 00:10:43,530
Would that be all right?
156
00:10:44,750 --> 00:10:46,710
Have you come in search of something?
157
00:10:47,250 --> 00:10:50,210
I see travelers with eyes
like yours once in a while.
158
00:10:50,790 --> 00:10:52,640
Here, in these empty wastes...
159
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,590
I came in search of wine.
160
00:10:55,590 --> 00:10:56,850
In the desert?
161
00:10:57,350 --> 00:10:59,370
I'm sure I'll find it...
162
00:10:59,370 --> 00:11:02,770
the moment when my thirst
for wine reaches its limit.
163
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,880
It's a sad thing to eat alone.
164
00:11:11,740 --> 00:11:13,280
Let's have this together.
165
00:11:13,710 --> 00:11:14,960
Thank you.
166
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,550
But I can't eat right now.
167
00:11:17,550 --> 00:11:18,710
I'll take the water.
168
00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:20,280
Why?
169
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,570
You must be suffering without food.
170
00:11:22,570 --> 00:11:24,670
A bit of suffering is just what I need.
171
00:11:25,170 --> 00:11:29,900
Tell the caravan master that you
all don't need to worry about me.
172
00:11:32,300 --> 00:11:33,520
Is there a problem?
173
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:38,030
You're the first Japanese person to come
this far in search of wine.
174
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,240
I see Japanese people sometimes,
but they never make any sense.
175
00:11:42,590 --> 00:11:44,650
They never make any sense?
176
00:11:44,650 --> 00:11:46,750
They say they're trying
to "find themselves."
177
00:11:46,750 --> 00:11:48,210
What do people mean by that?
178
00:11:48,210 --> 00:11:50,010
You're right here.
179
00:11:50,690 --> 00:11:52,330
Is that funny?
180
00:11:52,330 --> 00:11:54,220
I wasn't laughing at you.
181
00:11:54,220 --> 00:11:56,310
I'm the one who's being strange.
182
00:11:56,750 --> 00:12:02,420
What I'm after isn't much different than
the other Japanese people you speak of.
183
00:12:02,420 --> 00:12:05,380
So you're here to find yourself too?
184
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,570
Perhaps.
185
00:12:08,660 --> 00:12:10,850
Say, what's your name?
186
00:12:10,850 --> 00:12:12,790
Oh, I hadn't introduced myself yet?
187
00:12:13,220 --> 00:12:14,830
I'm Tomine Issei.
188
00:12:14,830 --> 00:12:15,870
What about you?
189
00:12:15,870 --> 00:12:17,030
Loulan.
190
00:12:17,030 --> 00:12:18,600
A lovely name.
191
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,630
It sounds almost French.
192
00:12:20,630 --> 00:12:24,610
There are many French
winemakers with that name.
193
00:12:24,890 --> 00:12:28,370
You really love wine, don't you, Issei?
194
00:12:30,170 --> 00:12:31,330
Am I wrong?
195
00:12:31,870 --> 00:12:33,060
You're right.
196
00:12:33,060 --> 00:12:34,320
That's exactly right.
197
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,080
I love wine!
198
00:12:37,490 --> 00:12:41,380
I wish I could give you
the wine you're looking for.
199
00:12:41,380 --> 00:12:42,800
Where is it?
200
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,110
I don't know.
201
00:12:44,110 --> 00:12:45,990
But it's out there somewhere.
202
00:12:46,410 --> 00:12:51,180
Talking with you makes me
feel like I can find it.
203
00:12:51,180 --> 00:12:53,670
Hearing that makes me happy.
204
00:12:55,730 --> 00:12:57,390
I hope you find it.
205
00:12:59,330 --> 00:13:00,940
Yes, that's fine.
206
00:13:01,290 --> 00:13:05,830
I'm busy getting ready
for the party, but it'll be fine.
207
00:13:05,830 --> 00:13:08,140
I'll be waiting with some delicious wine.
208
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,280
Bye.
209
00:13:10,090 --> 00:13:14,780
Yutaka-sensei's son wants
to come over to look for clues.
210
00:13:15,620 --> 00:13:18,200
Is it okay to let a guy
like that into your house?
211
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,080
Oh, are you jealous?
212
00:13:24,980 --> 00:13:26,950
No! Don't answer it!
213
00:13:26,950 --> 00:13:29,330
It's my home phone.
If I don't answer, they'll worry.
214
00:13:29,770 --> 00:13:30,890
Please.
215
00:13:33,420 --> 00:13:34,770
Fine.
216
00:13:43,930 --> 00:13:46,820
Sorry to bother you when you're
so busy, Natsuyagi-sensei.
217
00:13:47,190 --> 00:13:51,200
I was thinking there might be some
kind of clue in your cellar.
218
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,140
That's fine.
219
00:13:53,140 --> 00:13:54,670
Look around all you like.
220
00:13:54,670 --> 00:13:57,370
Um, we brought you this wine.
221
00:13:57,370 --> 00:13:59,510
Oh, thank you, Shinohara-san.
222
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,600
Is something wrong?
223
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:05,800
Sorry.
224
00:14:06,230 --> 00:14:09,630
I have a rule about never
drinking second wines.
225
00:14:09,630 --> 00:14:11,790
Huh? Why not? It's delicious!
226
00:14:12,060 --> 00:14:14,240
But second wine will always
be second place.
227
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,440
It can't beat first wine.
228
00:14:16,830 --> 00:14:18,180
I don't like that.
229
00:14:18,180 --> 00:14:21,300
I-I'm sorry! Next time, I won't...
230
00:14:21,300 --> 00:14:23,640
It's fine. Don't worry about it.
231
00:14:24,700 --> 00:14:27,990
Now, I'll take you
to my beloved wine cellar.
232
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,880
Did I offend her?
233
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,900
Don't worry. It's fine.
234
00:14:34,590 --> 00:14:36,340
I keep my Bordeaux on this side,
235
00:14:36,340 --> 00:14:38,490
and my Burgundy is on the other side.
236
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,140
Take your time looking around.
237
00:14:42,140 --> 00:14:44,910
I've got something to take care of,
so I'll be upstairs.
238
00:14:46,890 --> 00:14:48,880
This collection is incredible!
239
00:14:49,210 --> 00:14:52,430
I guess you can afford this stuff
when you're a famous mystery author.
240
00:14:52,430 --> 00:14:53,340
Huh?
241
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,020
Why are these shelves totally empty?
242
00:14:57,020 --> 00:14:58,230
You're right.
243
00:14:58,570 --> 00:14:59,630
Huh?
244
00:15:00,490 --> 00:15:02,750
This isn't a first wine.
245
00:15:03,340 --> 00:15:05,070
Look. It's a second.
246
00:15:05,370 --> 00:15:07,970
Why does she have just the one
when she doesn't drink it?
247
00:15:07,970 --> 00:15:10,860
The rest is all first wine...
248
00:15:14,390 --> 00:15:18,170
That was a real sight to behold,
Natsuyagi-sensei.
249
00:15:19,340 --> 00:15:20,820
Oh, pardon me.
250
00:15:20,820 --> 00:15:22,040
Is this...
251
00:15:24,150 --> 00:15:25,230
The name's Nikaido.
252
00:15:25,230 --> 00:15:28,080
I'm the editor-in-chief of
Shodansha's literature department.
253
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,470
An editor-in-chief?
254
00:15:30,470 --> 00:15:31,170
I'm...
255
00:15:31,170 --> 00:15:32,480
I've heard about you.
256
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,400
You're Kanzaki Yutaka-san's son, right?
257
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,130
I've heard you're helping
to work out our little mystery.
258
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,250
That's right.
259
00:15:40,250 --> 00:15:42,910
What do you make of the threat letter?
260
00:15:42,910 --> 00:15:46,020
It's a prank. Best ignored.
261
00:15:46,020 --> 00:15:48,170
What of the wine, then?
262
00:15:48,170 --> 00:15:51,250
If you've known Natsuyagi-sensei
for a while,
263
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:53,200
might you have any idea about it?
264
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:58,160
No, she and I only ever discuss work.
265
00:15:58,470 --> 00:16:02,780
I don't know her as well as you think.
266
00:16:03,230 --> 00:16:05,010
I see.
267
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,760
You're taking this too seriously, Sensei.
268
00:16:10,210 --> 00:16:14,210
You even brought it up in your essay
column, which only makes things worse.
269
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,540
Yes, but what if it isn't a prank?
270
00:16:18,970 --> 00:16:22,010
This person is apparently out to kill me,
so I wrote about it publicly
271
00:16:22,010 --> 00:16:24,450
to let them know they
can't intimidate me.
272
00:16:24,970 --> 00:16:27,860
Well, we'd best be on our way.
273
00:16:27,860 --> 00:16:29,620
Oh? You're leaving so soon?
274
00:16:29,620 --> 00:16:31,600
Yes. See you again.
275
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,410
Th-Thanks again!
Sorry to interrupt your work.
276
00:16:37,590 --> 00:16:40,670
Oh, and we'll take this second
wine back with us.
277
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,960
Since you didn't care for it.
278
00:16:44,700 --> 00:16:46,610
What's gotten into you?
279
00:16:46,610 --> 00:16:48,340
Those two are in a relationship.
280
00:16:49,420 --> 00:16:52,790
They held and drank from their
wine glasses the exact same way.
281
00:16:52,790 --> 00:16:54,620
Is that enough to tell?
282
00:16:55,970 --> 00:16:58,910
Plus, that threatening letter
and the black-label wine...
283
00:16:58,910 --> 00:17:01,150
These things aren't unrelated.
284
00:17:02,910 --> 00:17:05,670
When we were down in the cellar,
285
00:17:05,670 --> 00:17:09,300
I actually swapped the second wine
we brought with the one we found.
286
00:17:10,490 --> 00:17:13,870
Something was bothering me
about the label.
287
00:17:14,530 --> 00:17:15,520
It's...
288
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,310
I see.
289
00:17:20,310 --> 00:17:23,100
That is a bit of a mystery.
290
00:17:23,100 --> 00:17:25,180
Why don't we drink it?
291
00:17:25,180 --> 00:17:27,290
We might be able to learn something.
292
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,170
Yeah, I'm sure of it.
293
00:17:38,170 --> 00:17:40,410
This is the same as the black-label wine.
294
00:17:40,410 --> 00:17:41,600
Really?
295
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:42,490
Yes.
296
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,570
Then the threatening letter...
297
00:17:45,570 --> 00:17:48,000
Now that we've identified
the black-label wine,
298
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,290
there's less to worry about.
299
00:17:49,290 --> 00:17:53,770
But why did she have the black-label
wine in her cellar to begin with?
300
00:17:53,770 --> 00:17:56,440
This is a second wine called "Alter Ego,"
301
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,480
as in, one's other self.
302
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:03,030
It has its own unique taste
compared to the premier Palmer.
303
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,660
I think, to her, this wine
represents herself.
304
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,500
I see.
305
00:18:09,500 --> 00:18:12,360
That's why she keeps this lone
bottle locked away in her cellar,
306
00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:15,170
even while she says
she won't drink second wine.
307
00:18:15,940 --> 00:18:19,170
She probably got rid of the premiers.
308
00:18:19,170 --> 00:18:20,750
What a waste!
309
00:18:20,750 --> 00:18:22,330
This one is delicious, of course,
310
00:18:22,330 --> 00:18:26,800
but the premier wine is wonderful!
It has an even more complex profile!
311
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,290
I wish I could try the premier.
312
00:18:29,290 --> 00:18:30,740
I've got some.
313
00:18:30,740 --> 00:18:32,820
If you're okay with a different vintage.
314
00:18:33,860 --> 00:18:35,250
Do you mean it?
315
00:18:35,250 --> 00:18:37,030
That's a valuable wine...
316
00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:40,270
Well, it's fine.
317
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,420
Here. This is the one.
318
00:18:43,070 --> 00:18:45,070
Let's start with a glass.
319
00:18:48,420 --> 00:18:50,330
What is this feeling?
320
00:18:51,730 --> 00:18:56,230
Something inside is screaming
at me not to drink it.
321
00:18:57,060 --> 00:18:58,120
What do I do?
322
00:18:59,690 --> 00:19:02,140
No! I can't hold back!
323
00:19:05,350 --> 00:19:07,330
What's wrong, Shizuku-san?
324
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,430
I can see the apostle... standing
somewhere beyond this wine!
325
00:19:19,460 --> 00:19:21,880
Issei! Issei, wake up!
326
00:19:23,970 --> 00:19:25,090
What's wrong?
327
00:19:25,090 --> 00:19:27,130
Bandits are approaching.
328
00:19:27,130 --> 00:19:29,170
They'll go after Japanese people first.
329
00:19:29,170 --> 00:19:30,420
Bandits?
330
00:19:30,420 --> 00:19:32,330
Let's get ready to run!
331
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:36,690
They're here!
332
00:19:36,690 --> 00:19:37,650
Gunfire?
333
00:19:37,650 --> 00:19:39,040
We need to hurry!
334
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,720
Over here! This way!
335
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,740
Loulan, where are we going?
336
00:19:42,740 --> 00:19:43,760
I don't know!
337
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:44,850
Just run!
338
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:47,800
If you stay here, you'll be killed!
339
00:19:48,810 --> 00:19:52,640
Natsuyagi Maiko
New Novel Release Party
340
00:19:50,690 --> 00:19:56,060
Natsuyagi-sensei sure knows
how to throw a party.
341
00:19:56,470 --> 00:19:59,330
Are you sure about this, Shizuku-san?
342
00:19:59,330 --> 00:20:00,980
Serving that wine...
343
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,770
Yeah, of course.
344
00:20:02,770 --> 00:20:06,000
It should show us what's
really going on here.
345
00:20:06,290 --> 00:20:09,860
Now, a word from
Natsuyagi-sensei herself!
346
00:20:12,740 --> 00:20:18,290
Thank you for coming
to celebrate my new novel.
347
00:20:18,290 --> 00:20:21,320
As some of you may know,
348
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:26,560
I was actually sent a mysterious
wine the other day.
349
00:20:26,940 --> 00:20:30,260
What you're drinking now is the wine
350
00:20:30,260 --> 00:20:35,230
that Kanzaki Shizuku-san of Taiyo Beer's
wine division believes it to be.
351
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:41,620
I wanted you all to enjoy trying
to solve the mysteries of this wine,
352
00:20:41,620 --> 00:20:44,040
so I've prepared this tasting blind.
353
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:44,830
What could it be?
354
00:20:44,830 --> 00:20:45,800
I can't wait to find out!
355
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:51,280
I actually don't know what wine
Kanzaki-san picked out myself.
356
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:57,390
If it's not, in fact, the same wine
sent along with the threatening letter,
357
00:20:57,390 --> 00:20:59,140
I could be a dead woman!
358
00:21:00,030 --> 00:21:02,080
Don't worry. That won't actually happen.
359
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,740
So please enjoy the food and wine.
360
00:21:10,780 --> 00:21:17,530
I'm Nikaido, EIC of Shodansha's
literature division. I'll give the toast.
361
00:21:17,870 --> 00:21:18,910
Cheers!
362
00:21:18,910 --> 00:21:20,510
Cheers!
363
00:21:28,750 --> 00:21:31,450
Well, Natsuyagi-sensei?
364
00:21:31,890 --> 00:21:35,790
Indeed, it's very good.
This is what was in the bottle?
365
00:21:35,790 --> 00:21:37,420
I'm sure of it.
366
00:21:37,780 --> 00:21:39,120
I see.
367
00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:41,360
May I have a glass of water?
368
00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:53,590
What's wrong?!
369
00:21:53,590 --> 00:21:54,610
It hurts...
370
00:21:54,610 --> 00:21:55,400
Sensei!
371
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,320
It's an emergency! Call an ambulance!
372
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,220
Sensei? Are you okay?
373
00:21:57,580 --> 00:22:00,020
Are you okay? Where does it hurt?
374
00:22:00,020 --> 00:22:01,820
Sensei! Sensei!
375
00:21:59,220 --> 00:22:01,520
Was it... poison?
376
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,430
No way...
377
00:22:02,430 --> 00:22:03,780
Somebody call an ambulance!
378
00:22:04,030 --> 00:22:05,930
Sensei! Are you all right?
379
00:22:05,930 --> 00:22:07,470
Sensei!
380
00:22:04,650 --> 00:22:07,110
No way... This can't be!
381
00:22:07,470 --> 00:22:08,670
Sensei!
382
00:22:08,670 --> 00:22:10,670
Are you all right? Sensei!
