ORIGINAL STORY BY ISUNA HASEKURA

2
00:02:10,922 --> 00:02:12,382
{\an8}Must be nice to be you.

3
00:02:12,465 --> 00:02:14,551
I'm hungry.

4
00:02:14,634 --> 00:02:16,261
You just ate bread.

5
00:02:16,344 --> 00:02:19,931
That nasty, hard piece of bread
doesn't count as food.

6
00:02:20,014 --> 00:02:22,684
If I bought enough food
to satisfy you for each meal,

7
00:02:22,767 --> 00:02:25,019
I'd go bankrupt within a week.

8
00:02:25,103 --> 00:02:28,523
As a male, shouldn't you feel
honored to be able to spend

9
00:02:28,606 --> 00:02:30,650
your money on someone as cute as me?

10
00:02:30,733 --> 00:02:34,070
If only I could slap that "honor"
onto some bread and eat it.

11
00:02:35,321 --> 00:02:36,948
Did I get a rise out of you?

12
00:02:37,031 --> 00:02:39,909
I'm not bread, so I don't rise.

13
00:02:42,203 --> 00:02:43,288
Well?

14
00:02:43,371 --> 00:02:45,748
How long until we get to the next town?

15
00:02:50,503 --> 00:02:52,380
It's on the other side of that hill.

16
00:02:52,463 --> 00:02:55,341
What kind of food will we eat this time?

17
00:02:55,425 --> 00:02:59,512
I want to sink my teeth
into some fresh and juicy beef or lamb.

18
00:02:59,596 --> 00:03:02,974
And if I can have something sweet as well,
that would be perfect.

19
00:03:03,057 --> 00:03:06,019
We just ate a mountain
of apple pies in Pazzio.

20
00:03:06,102 --> 00:03:08,229
After helping you finish all those apples,

21
00:03:08,313 --> 00:03:11,608
I don't want to even
smell anything sweet for a while.

22
00:03:11,691 --> 00:03:13,610
That sure was tasty.

23
00:03:13,693 --> 00:03:17,488
That was a new way of eating apples
that even I'd never thought of.

24
00:03:17,572 --> 00:03:19,240
Jeez...

25
00:03:19,324 --> 00:03:22,535
Processing apples like that
isn't free, you know.

26
00:03:22,619 --> 00:03:26,247
I'll tack that expense onto your debt and...

27
00:03:36,966 --> 00:03:39,427
-Is that it?
-Yeah.

28
00:03:40,261 --> 00:03:41,638
That is Poroson.

29
00:03:46,976 --> 00:03:50,647
For us, our one-and-only God has...

30
00:03:53,233 --> 00:03:55,526
What a boring town.

31
00:03:58,029 --> 00:04:00,240
There are no food stalls, after all.

32
00:04:00,323 --> 00:04:03,493
You make it sound like
I'm only interested in food.

33
00:04:03,576 --> 00:04:05,620
Want to go listen to a sermon, then?

34
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,374
They're 500 years too early
to preach to me.

35
00:04:09,457 --> 00:04:13,253
You should listen to a sermon
on living a simple and frugal life.

36
00:04:13,336 --> 00:04:16,130
I am a wolf, after all.

37
00:04:16,214 --> 00:04:19,509
Their sermons are too difficult
for me to understand.

38
00:04:19,592 --> 00:04:22,637
Well, their teachings
on simplicity and frugality are

39
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,640
unconvincing
anywhere outside of this town, anyway.

40
00:04:25,723 --> 00:04:27,016
Huh?

41
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:30,353
In the city of the church, Ruvinheigen,
where we're headed next,

42
00:04:30,436 --> 00:04:32,981
bishops and priests
who should be following those

43
00:04:33,064 --> 00:04:35,358
teachings are lining their own pockets.

44
00:04:35,441 --> 00:04:37,568
Did you say, "Ruvinheigen"?

45
00:04:37,652 --> 00:04:39,487
-Do you know it?
-Yes.

46
00:04:39,570 --> 00:04:43,241
But the "Ruvinheigen" that I know
is a person's name.

47
00:04:44,492 --> 00:04:47,203
Yeah, you're not mistaken.

48
00:04:47,287 --> 00:04:51,457
It's the name of a saint who led an order
of holy knights to exterminate pagans.

49
00:04:51,541 --> 00:04:55,044
He was a man with
bushy, fiery red hair and a beard

50
00:04:55,128 --> 00:04:57,714
and a stern look on his face.

51
00:04:57,797 --> 00:05:00,883
According to records,
that's what he looked like.

52
00:05:00,967 --> 00:05:03,344
They also say his left arm
was chewed off when

53
00:05:03,428 --> 00:05:04,929
he fought against pagan gods.

54
00:05:05,013 --> 00:05:06,723
Left arm?

55
00:05:06,806 --> 00:05:10,226
-It was his butt that I bit.
-Huh?

56
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:13,688
As soon as he saw my cute ears and tail,

57
00:05:13,771 --> 00:05:17,108
he started chasing me around,
saying that I was sent by the devil.

58
00:05:17,191 --> 00:05:19,360
He got on my nerves,

59
00:05:19,444 --> 00:05:22,363
so I bit into his butt.

60
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:25,783
It was sinewy and not very tasty.

61
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:31,331
His butt? I'd be too embarrassed to
keep that on record too.

62
00:05:32,081 --> 00:05:33,291
But just so you know...

63
00:05:34,834 --> 00:05:37,879
I only bit him.

64
00:05:37,962 --> 00:05:39,380
I didn't kill him.

65
00:05:39,464 --> 00:05:41,257
You care about that kind of stuff?

66
00:05:41,340 --> 00:05:42,717
It's important.

67
00:05:44,135 --> 00:05:45,053
I guess it is.

68
00:05:46,220 --> 00:05:48,848
All right,
let's go to the trading company.

69
00:05:48,931 --> 00:05:51,142
Okay. But before that...

70
00:05:51,225 --> 00:05:52,060
Huh?

71
00:05:55,563 --> 00:05:57,315
Sorry for the wait.

72
00:06:04,447 --> 00:06:07,241
You looked like a nun with that robe on,

73
00:06:07,325 --> 00:06:09,827
but now you look like
a regular girl in town.

74
00:06:09,911 --> 00:06:13,623
You won't find
a girl as cute as me, though.

75
00:06:14,290 --> 00:06:17,043
But in a boring town like this,

76
00:06:17,126 --> 00:06:18,586
I can't even flaunt it.

77
00:06:18,669 --> 00:06:22,590
We'll head to Ruvinheigen once I sell
this pepper to Latparron Trading Company,

78
00:06:22,673 --> 00:06:24,050
so bear with it until then.

79
00:06:28,513 --> 00:06:31,474
Is Ruvinheigen a big town?

80
00:06:31,557 --> 00:06:32,725
It's huge.

81
00:06:32,809 --> 00:06:35,728
It's more of a city than a town.
There are lots of stalls too.

82
00:06:35,812 --> 00:06:38,606
-How about apples?
-You never get tired of that, do you?

83
00:06:38,689 --> 00:06:41,567
What's delicious, is delicious.

84
00:06:41,651 --> 00:06:42,944
So, how about it?

85
00:06:44,612 --> 00:06:46,739
I don't know about fresh apples.

86
00:06:46,823 --> 00:06:50,118
By now, I think they might be pickled
in preparation for winter.

87
00:06:50,201 --> 00:06:51,369
Pickled?

88
00:06:51,452 --> 00:06:53,162
They pickle them in honey.

89
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:57,041
They also do pears and sometimes peaches,
although that's rare.

90
00:06:57,125 --> 00:06:58,584
It's quite expensive, though.

91
00:06:58,668 --> 00:07:02,338
They thinly slice peaches and add
a layer of figs and almonds in between.

92
00:07:03,256 --> 00:07:06,300
Then they pour a generous amount
of honey over that

93
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,261
and top it off with a bit of ginger.

94
00:07:10,012 --> 00:07:12,140
I've eaten it once.

95
00:07:12,223 --> 00:07:15,518
It's so sweet,
the church even considered banning it.

96
00:07:17,061 --> 00:07:19,063
Hey, you're drooling.

97
00:07:20,773 --> 00:07:23,609
But I'm not sure if it'll be there or not.

98
00:07:23,693 --> 00:07:26,988
It's generally for nobles and rich people,
so stores don't have them...

99
00:07:31,325 --> 00:07:32,743
If the store has them...

100
00:07:32,827 --> 00:07:35,204
Fine! I'll buy it for you.

101
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:36,831
Promise?

102
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:38,291
Yeah...

103
00:07:38,374 --> 00:07:41,085
Well then, let's hurry up!

104
00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:44,464
They might sell out.

105
00:07:44,547 --> 00:07:47,884
I can't have that. We're talking about
peaches and honey, you know!

106
00:07:47,967 --> 00:07:50,636
I can't believe it! It's like a dream!

107
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,097
We still don't know
if it's available, okay?

108
00:07:53,181 --> 00:07:55,641
But pears sound just as good.

109
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,732
Pagans and devils

110
00:08:02,815 --> 00:08:06,110
are lurking around town
without us even noticing.

111
00:08:06,194 --> 00:08:07,778
Believe it or not, the other day,

112
00:08:07,862 --> 00:08:09,447
a mage who manipulates

113
00:08:09,530 --> 00:08:13,117
wolves has started living
near Ruvinheigen.

114
00:08:13,201 --> 00:08:16,579
But the church extends mercy to
even people like them

115
00:08:16,662 --> 00:08:18,998
and offers forgiveness.

116
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,544
Well then, shall we talk business now?

117
00:08:24,837 --> 00:08:26,422
Thank you.

118
00:08:26,506 --> 00:08:29,926
So, what kind of goods
did you bring today?

119
00:08:30,009 --> 00:08:31,511
This, here.

120
00:08:33,012 --> 00:08:35,348
Oh, black pepper?

121
00:08:36,724 --> 00:08:38,226
How did you know?

122
00:08:38,309 --> 00:08:39,852
The scent.

123
00:08:39,936 --> 00:08:42,522
All right, let's weigh it.

124
00:08:43,022 --> 00:08:45,650
Do you have a scale?

125
00:08:45,733 --> 00:08:47,818
No, I don't.

126
00:08:47,902 --> 00:08:51,239
However, I trust in God.

127
00:08:53,616 --> 00:08:55,284
I must say,

128
00:08:55,368 --> 00:08:58,621
you brought that at a very good time.

129
00:08:58,704 --> 00:09:02,333
The demand for black pepper has been
soaring recently.

130
00:09:02,416 --> 00:09:07,213
My goodness... If you had come one week
earlier, I could've bought it cheaper.

131
00:09:09,966 --> 00:09:11,759
I'm thirsty.

132
00:09:11,842 --> 00:09:13,010
Wait.

133
00:09:18,307 --> 00:09:21,727
Even a saint cannot live without water.

134
00:09:21,811 --> 00:09:23,771
Would you like water?

135
00:09:23,854 --> 00:09:25,481
Or wine?

136
00:09:25,565 --> 00:09:27,567
May I have water?

137
00:09:27,650 --> 00:09:30,236
One moment, please.

138
00:09:42,498 --> 00:09:45,126
It's worth 45 weights.

139
00:09:45,209 --> 00:09:46,877
Where is this pepper from?

140
00:09:46,961 --> 00:09:50,840
This was imported from
Ramapata in the Kingdom of Leedon.

141
00:09:50,923 --> 00:09:53,843
The Milone Trading Company imported them.

142
00:09:53,926 --> 00:09:55,845
From Ramapata, huh?

143
00:09:55,928 --> 00:10:00,099
This pepper has traveled
quite a long way, hasn't it?

144
00:10:00,182 --> 00:10:02,852
The certificate looks to be real.

145
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:07,648
Well then, how about we offer
one gold Lumione coin

146
00:10:07,732 --> 00:10:09,025
per weight?

147
00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:12,069
What is the spot price of
gold Lumione coins?

148
00:10:12,153 --> 00:10:14,572
What currency do you mainly use?

149
00:10:14,655 --> 00:10:16,115
Silver Trenni coins.

150
00:10:16,198 --> 00:10:17,700
Let's see...

151
00:10:17,783 --> 00:10:22,163
It's 32 and 5/6 of a coin.
That's the spot price.

152
00:10:27,501 --> 00:10:29,503
That sounds good to me.

153
00:10:30,546 --> 00:10:31,964
Thank you.

154
00:10:33,758 --> 00:10:34,759
What's wrong?

155
00:10:35,843 --> 00:10:37,303
I feel a bit dizzy.

156
00:10:37,386 --> 00:10:38,596
Are you okay?

157
00:10:40,181 --> 00:10:42,266
You must be tired from the long trip.

158
00:10:42,350 --> 00:10:45,603
Everything that I see
is tilting to one side.

159
00:10:51,192 --> 00:10:52,777
Master,

160
00:10:52,860 --> 00:10:56,322
it seems I am still dizzy.

161
00:10:56,405 --> 00:10:57,907
Look,

162
00:10:57,990 --> 00:11:01,911
everything appears tilted in my eyes.

163
00:11:15,424 --> 00:11:20,388
Well then, did I drink water or wine?

164
00:11:21,972 --> 00:11:25,267
What I drank was wine.

165
00:11:25,351 --> 00:11:26,769
Isn't that right?

166
00:11:26,852 --> 00:11:31,982
As they say, "The owner of a busy bar
does not drink himself."

167
00:11:32,066 --> 00:11:33,150
I see.

168
00:11:33,234 --> 00:11:37,279
The key to having a thriving business
is being the only sober one.

169
00:11:37,363 --> 00:11:40,032
-Isn't that right?
-No, this is...

170
00:11:40,116 --> 00:11:43,119
It seems I was drunk on alcohol,
just like my companion.

171
00:11:43,202 --> 00:11:48,207
So I'll probably forget about a few things
that I saw or heard while I was here.

172
00:11:48,290 --> 00:11:52,837
On the other hand, drunkards are known
to say outrageous things.

173
00:11:54,046 --> 00:11:54,964
What?

174
00:11:55,047 --> 00:11:58,342
I'll ask for the payment of the pepper
that is correctly re-weighed,

175
00:11:58,426 --> 00:11:59,427
plus...

176
00:12:01,011 --> 00:12:02,179
Let's see...

177
00:12:03,514 --> 00:12:07,017
consent to buy
double that amount on margin.

178
00:12:07,101 --> 00:12:09,145
That's going too far!

179
00:12:09,228 --> 00:12:10,563
Is that not possible?

180
00:12:10,646 --> 00:12:14,233
That's too bad.
I feel like I'm sobering up.

181
00:12:17,653 --> 00:12:19,947
As for the goods...

182
00:12:20,030 --> 00:12:21,615
What about quality armaments?

183
00:12:23,159 --> 00:12:24,452
Armaments?

184
00:12:25,077 --> 00:12:29,039
The annual great northern expedition
is coming up soon.

185
00:12:29,123 --> 00:12:33,335
Armaments are a safe and sure way
to make a profit, don't you think?

186
00:12:33,419 --> 00:12:35,629
Armaments, huh?

187
00:12:35,713 --> 00:12:40,050
I'm sure you have trading companies that
you're on good terms with in Ruvinheigen.

188
00:12:40,134 --> 00:12:42,970
If I sell it to them and offset the loan,

189
00:12:43,053 --> 00:12:45,014
I can pay you back in no time.

190
00:12:45,681 --> 00:12:47,224
What do you think?

191
00:12:48,809 --> 00:12:50,352
Thank you very much.

192
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:53,939
Well then,
can you get the goods ready now?

193
00:12:54,023 --> 00:12:55,232
Okay.

194
00:12:55,316 --> 00:12:57,776
Um, what about the appraisal?

195
00:12:57,860 --> 00:12:59,653
I'll trust you with that.

196
00:12:59,737 --> 00:13:02,072
I have faith in God, after all.

197
00:13:02,156 --> 00:13:05,951
Now then, I am also sobering up.

198
00:13:06,035 --> 00:13:09,497
As long as I get
premium wine and dried lamb,

199
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:11,207
I'll be happy.

200
00:13:11,290 --> 00:13:14,835
There's a place we do
business with nearby,

201
00:13:14,919 --> 00:13:16,879
so please order whatever you want.

202
00:13:16,962 --> 00:13:19,465
I will call someone to escort you there.

203
00:13:24,303 --> 00:13:25,554
Poor guy...

204
00:13:25,638 --> 00:13:28,432
I can't believe you noticed that though.

205
00:13:28,516 --> 00:13:32,144
I have good looks, a fine tail, brains,

206
00:13:32,228 --> 00:13:33,395
and good ears and eyes.

207
00:13:33,479 --> 00:13:36,982
I noticed the moment we entered this room.

208
00:13:37,066 --> 00:13:40,694
I guess it's a good enough trick
to deceive someone like you.

209
00:13:40,778 --> 00:13:42,988
I have nothing to say to that.

210
00:13:44,156 --> 00:13:47,952
You should be fine on your own
from this point on.

211
00:13:48,035 --> 00:13:50,704
I'll go buy food while you finish up.

212
00:13:51,288 --> 00:13:53,374
We have to hurry to Ruvinheigen

213
00:13:53,457 --> 00:13:56,835
for the honey-pickled peaches, after all.

214
00:13:59,380 --> 00:14:01,090
Only enough to get us to Ruvinheigen.

215
00:14:02,174 --> 00:14:05,511
I know! Simple and frugal, right?

216
00:14:16,272 --> 00:14:18,274
That took longer than expected.

217
00:14:18,357 --> 00:14:20,985
Holo isn't back yet?

218
00:14:22,778 --> 00:14:25,447
I hope she doesn't drink
until they go bankrupt.

219
00:14:25,531 --> 00:14:28,951
I heard about it
during my pilgrimage to the north.

220
00:14:29,034 --> 00:14:30,911
The town was worshipping

221
00:14:30,995 --> 00:14:34,456
a pagan wolf god.

222
00:14:47,678 --> 00:14:49,972
-That was delicious.
-Huh?

223
00:14:50,723 --> 00:14:52,391
Don't tell me you ate it all!

224
00:14:52,474 --> 00:14:56,103
Don't worry, there's still more.

225
00:14:56,186 --> 00:14:59,607
What happened to "simple and frugal"?

226
00:14:59,690 --> 00:15:03,861
Well then, now that I'm full,
I have to care for my tail.

227
00:15:09,825 --> 00:15:11,201
That's right...

228
00:15:13,287 --> 00:15:14,246
What's up?

229
00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:18,167
When we get to the next town,
I'd like some oil.

230
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:19,084
Oil?

231
00:15:19,168 --> 00:15:20,252
Yes.

232
00:15:20,336 --> 00:15:24,131
I've heard that it's good
for tail maintenance.

233
00:15:30,471 --> 00:15:31,889
Buy it for me, will you?

234
00:15:33,515 --> 00:15:35,601
Have you ever calculated
your clothes, comb,

235
00:15:35,684 --> 00:15:38,020
travel expenses,
and food and drink expenses?

236
00:15:38,103 --> 00:15:41,023
Don't tell me you can't do addition.

237
00:15:41,815 --> 00:15:43,943
I can do addition.

238
00:15:44,026 --> 00:15:47,196
Not just that,
I'm also good at subtraction.

239
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:49,323
Then a smart wisewolf like you

240
00:15:49,406 --> 00:15:51,367
should know my answer.

241
00:15:52,785 --> 00:15:56,830
Yes, I do.
You will most likely buy it for me.

242
00:15:56,914 --> 00:16:01,335
After all, you are going to make
quite a profit thanks to me.

243
00:16:05,297 --> 00:16:07,716
Buy me oil, will you?

244
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,928
Do you realize how much money you owe me?

245
00:16:11,011 --> 00:16:13,514
Why would I buy you
more unnecessary things?

246
00:16:14,181 --> 00:16:18,143
My goodness... Do you want me to
pay off my debt that badly?

247
00:16:18,227 --> 00:16:20,646
Of course!

248
00:16:20,729 --> 00:16:23,649
I didn't realize you felt that way...

249
00:16:23,732 --> 00:16:25,359
What do you mean?

250
00:16:25,442 --> 00:16:28,612
Well, if I pay off my debt,

251
00:16:28,696 --> 00:16:31,198
I'll be free to go.

252
00:16:31,949 --> 00:16:34,702
Then I'll just return to the north.

253
00:16:35,327 --> 00:16:37,997
I wonder how Paro and Myuri are doing?

254
00:16:40,499 --> 00:16:43,460
There is no payment deadline
for your debt.

255
00:16:43,544 --> 00:16:47,089
It's fine as long as you pay it off
before we get to the north forest.

256
00:16:47,172 --> 00:16:48,507
Are you satisfied now?

257
00:16:51,135 --> 00:16:55,806
I'm sure I will pay off my debt
by the time we get to the north forest.

258
00:16:55,889 --> 00:16:57,266
So...

259
00:16:57,349 --> 00:16:58,642
The oil, huh?

260
00:16:59,351 --> 00:17:01,103
Buy it for me, will you?

261
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,443
Thank you!

262
00:17:14,533 --> 00:17:16,827
But why did you get armaments?

263
00:17:16,910 --> 00:17:19,204
Because Ruvinheigen is a supply depot for

264
00:17:19,288 --> 00:17:21,957
the great northern expedition
against the pagans.

265
00:17:22,041 --> 00:17:24,460
Armaments are hot sellers.

266
00:17:24,543 --> 00:17:26,545
Then we'll make quite the profit.

267
00:17:26,628 --> 00:17:29,465
No, there are many merchants
who will be selling them.

268
00:17:29,548 --> 00:17:31,467
So naturally, the interest rate drops.

269
00:17:31,550 --> 00:17:34,511
But with this much stuff,
I'm sure we'll make good money.

270
00:17:34,595 --> 00:17:37,056
We'll make enough
to buy your oil, I guess.

271
00:17:37,139 --> 00:17:41,560
But if you think about it that way,
spices are really great.

272
00:17:41,643 --> 00:17:43,062
You ate it?

273
00:17:43,145 --> 00:17:45,814
I'm not like you. I'm talking about money.

274
00:17:46,899 --> 00:17:49,693
Then you should've just got more spices.

275
00:17:49,777 --> 00:17:53,614
There's not much of a price difference
between Ruvinheigen and Poroson.

276
00:17:53,697 --> 00:17:55,824
You actually lose money
because of tariffs.

277
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:59,536
If only I could sell something that
is as profitable as spices.

278
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:01,538
Then I'd have my own shop in no time.

279
00:18:01,622 --> 00:18:03,373
You can't think of anything?

280
00:18:03,457 --> 00:18:07,211
What about jewels or gold?

281
00:18:07,836 --> 00:18:11,632
Those things aren't very profitable
in regard to Ruvinheigen.

282
00:18:11,715 --> 00:18:12,883
Why is that?

283
00:18:12,966 --> 00:18:15,344
When you try to import gold
into Ruvinheigen,

284
00:18:15,427 --> 00:18:17,513
they impose heavy tariffs.

285
00:18:17,596 --> 00:18:20,933
Do the people in that town
not want gold or what?

286
00:18:21,016 --> 00:18:21,850
That's not it.

287
00:18:21,934 --> 00:18:26,230
Merchants who are partnered
with the church bring in gold.

288
00:18:26,313 --> 00:18:29,858
The tariffs
are reduced for them, after all.

289
00:18:29,942 --> 00:18:30,984
Interesting.

290
00:18:31,068 --> 00:18:34,238
And when they take it to
the church in Ruvinheigen,

291
00:18:34,321 --> 00:18:36,865
they can get the gold engraved.

292
00:18:36,949 --> 00:18:40,536
It's then called holy gold
and becomes highly valuable.

293
00:18:40,619 --> 00:18:41,703
Basically,

294
00:18:41,787 --> 00:18:46,625
the church and a handful of merchants
are monopolizing the profit, huh?

295
00:18:46,708 --> 00:18:47,793
Exactly.

296
00:18:47,876 --> 00:18:51,296
Talk about "holy."
It's as filthy as you can get.

297
00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:54,091
Well, if you can manage to smuggle it,

298
00:18:54,174 --> 00:18:56,552
it would sell for ten times more.

299
00:18:56,635 --> 00:18:58,887
Can't we just bring it in secretly?

300
00:18:58,971 --> 00:19:01,515
If we could, everyone would be doing that.

301
00:19:01,598 --> 00:19:04,810
If you're caught, they'll sever
your dominant arm, at the very least.

302
00:19:04,893 --> 00:19:07,604
It's not worth the risk, in my opinion.

303
00:19:07,688 --> 00:19:09,106
That's true.

304
00:19:09,189 --> 00:19:12,109
Well, your business is doing good,

305
00:19:12,192 --> 00:19:14,319
so might as well just keep at it.

306
00:19:14,403 --> 00:19:17,406
But a certain someone keeps
squandering my hard-earned money.

307
00:19:18,073 --> 00:19:19,116
Hey,

308
00:19:19,908 --> 00:19:21,577
there's a lot of people.

309
00:19:21,660 --> 00:19:22,494
Huh?

310
00:19:25,581 --> 00:19:28,917
To make a detour,
we'll have to go down Saint Lyne.

311
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:30,836
How about this fabric?

312
00:19:30,919 --> 00:19:33,964
Can anybody speak Parousian?

313
00:19:37,384 --> 00:19:38,760
Apparently, down this road...

314
00:19:38,844 --> 00:19:42,347
A mercenary company, who should be
in the north, is moving down south.

315
00:19:42,431 --> 00:19:46,101
You can take a detour,
but there are wolves roaming about

316
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:51,106
and recently, there are rumors of
a pagan mage who can summon wolves.

317
00:19:54,067 --> 00:19:56,737
So, what is Holo the Wisewolf's opinion?

318
00:19:57,779 --> 00:20:01,116
I've never had a good experience
with mercenary companies.

319
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,911
Well, they're troublesome
wherever they go.

320
00:20:04,536 --> 00:20:05,746
What about the wolves?

321
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:08,665
They're easier to handle than humans.

322
00:20:08,749 --> 00:20:11,084
At least I can communicate with them.

323
00:20:11,168 --> 00:20:12,836
Then it's settled.

324
00:20:17,424 --> 00:20:19,051
Nobody is here.

325
00:20:19,134 --> 00:20:22,596
Rumors carry more weight than you think.

326
00:20:22,679 --> 00:20:23,805
Are there any wolves?

327
00:20:23,889 --> 00:20:26,266
Wolves aren't stupid enough to be

328
00:20:26,350 --> 00:20:30,729
spotted that easily in a place
that's as open as this.

329
00:20:30,812 --> 00:20:31,855
However...

330
00:20:36,151 --> 00:20:39,404
the kind of human that I hate
is ahead of us.

331
00:20:39,488 --> 00:20:41,823
The mage or whatever? What should we do?

332
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:44,701
It's their job to run away.

333
00:20:45,369 --> 00:20:47,871
There's no reason for us to avoid them.

334
00:21:00,884 --> 00:21:02,135
That's...

335
00:21:10,102 --> 00:21:11,353
A shepherd.

336
00:21:12,229 --> 00:21:15,857
The "mage" they were talking about
was a shepherd?

337
00:21:28,787 --> 00:21:30,747
What was that for?

338
00:21:30,831 --> 00:21:33,166
It's a ritual you do
when you meet a shepherd.

339
00:21:33,250 --> 00:21:36,211
Now we know that person is not a mage.

340
00:21:38,797 --> 00:21:41,675
I'm Lawrence, a traveling merchant.

341
00:21:41,758 --> 00:21:43,844
She's Holo, my traveling companion.

342
00:21:48,015 --> 00:21:50,976
If it was God's will that we met,

343
00:21:51,059 --> 00:21:54,021
and if you are a good shepherd,

344
00:21:54,104 --> 00:21:56,231
you should know what to do.

345
