ORIGINAL STORY BY ISUNA HASEKURA

2
00:02:09,822 --> 00:02:11,282
{\an8}Must be nice to be you.

3
00:02:11,365 --> 00:02:13,451
I'm hungry.

4
00:02:13,534 --> 00:02:15,161
You just ate bread.

5
00:02:15,244 --> 00:02:18,831
That nasty, hard piece of bread
doesn't count as food.

6
00:02:18,914 --> 00:02:21,584
If I bought enough food
to satisfy you for each meal,

7
00:02:21,667 --> 00:02:23,919
I'd go bankrupt within a week.

8
00:02:24,003 --> 00:02:27,423
As a male, shouldn't you feel
honored to be able to spend

9
00:02:27,506 --> 00:02:29,550
your money on someone as cute as me?

10
00:02:29,633 --> 00:02:32,970
If only I could slap that "honor"
onto some bread and eat it.

11
00:02:34,221 --> 00:02:35,848
Did I get a rise out of you?

12
00:02:35,931 --> 00:02:38,809
I'm not bread, so I don't rise.

13
00:02:41,103 --> 00:02:42,188
Well?

14
00:02:42,271 --> 00:02:44,648
How long until we get to the next town?

15
00:02:49,403 --> 00:02:51,280
It's on the other side of that hill.

16
00:02:51,363 --> 00:02:54,241
What kind of food will we eat this time?

17
00:02:54,325 --> 00:02:58,412
I want to sink my teeth
into some fresh and juicy beef or lamb.

18
00:02:58,496 --> 00:03:01,874
And if I can have something sweet as well,
that would be perfect.

19
00:03:01,957 --> 00:03:04,919
We just ate a mountain
of apple pies in Pazzio.

20
00:03:05,002 --> 00:03:07,129
After helping you finish all those apples,

21
00:03:07,213 --> 00:03:10,508
I don't want to even
smell anything sweet for a while.

22
00:03:10,591 --> 00:03:12,510
That sure was tasty.

23
00:03:12,593 --> 00:03:16,388
That was a new way of eating apples
that even I'd never thought of.

24
00:03:16,472 --> 00:03:18,140
Jeez...

25
00:03:18,224 --> 00:03:21,435
Processing apples like that
isn't free, you know.

26
00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:25,147
I'll tack that expense onto your debt and...

27
00:03:35,866 --> 00:03:38,327
-Is that it?
-Yeah.

28
00:03:39,161 --> 00:03:40,538
That is Poroson.

29
00:03:45,876 --> 00:03:49,547
For us, our one-and-only God has...

30
00:03:52,133 --> 00:03:54,426
What a boring town.

31
00:03:56,929 --> 00:03:59,140
There are no food stalls, after all.

32
00:03:59,223 --> 00:04:02,393
You make it sound like
I'm only interested in food.

33
00:04:02,476 --> 00:04:04,520
Want to go listen to a sermon, then?

34
00:04:05,020 --> 00:04:08,274
They're 500 years too early
to preach to me.

35
00:04:08,357 --> 00:04:12,153
You should listen to a sermon
on living a simple and frugal life.

36
00:04:12,236 --> 00:04:15,030
I am a wolf, after all.

37
00:04:15,114 --> 00:04:18,409
Their sermons are too difficult
for me to understand.

38
00:04:18,492 --> 00:04:21,537
Well, their teachings
on simplicity and frugality are

39
00:04:21,620 --> 00:04:24,540
unconvincing
anywhere outside of this town, anyway.

40
00:04:24,623 --> 00:04:25,916
Huh?

41
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,253
In the city of the church, Ruvinheigen,
where we're headed next,

42
00:04:29,336 --> 00:04:31,881
bishops and priests
who should be following those

43
00:04:31,964 --> 00:04:34,258
teachings are lining their own pockets.

44
00:04:34,341 --> 00:04:36,468
Did you say, "Ruvinheigen"?

45
00:04:36,552 --> 00:04:38,387
-Do you know it?
-Yes.

46
00:04:38,470 --> 00:04:42,141
But the "Ruvinheigen" that I know
is a person's name.

47
00:04:43,392 --> 00:04:46,103
Yeah, you're not mistaken.

48
00:04:46,187 --> 00:04:50,357
It's the name of a saint who led an order
of holy knights to exterminate pagans.

49
00:04:50,441 --> 00:04:53,944
He was a man with
bushy, fiery red hair and a beard

50
00:04:54,028 --> 00:04:56,614
and a stern look on his face.

51
00:04:56,697 --> 00:04:59,783
According to records,
that's what he looked like.

52
00:04:59,867 --> 00:05:02,244
They also say his left arm
was chewed off when

53
00:05:02,328 --> 00:05:03,829
he fought against pagan gods.

54
00:05:03,913 --> 00:05:05,623
Left arm?

55
00:05:05,706 --> 00:05:09,126
-It was his butt that I bit.
-Huh?

56
00:05:09,210 --> 00:05:12,588
As soon as he saw my cute ears and tail,

57
00:05:12,671 --> 00:05:16,008
he started chasing me around,
saying that I was sent by the devil.

58
00:05:16,091 --> 00:05:18,260
He got on my nerves,

59
00:05:18,344 --> 00:05:21,263
so I bit into his butt.

60
00:05:22,223 --> 00:05:24,683
It was sinewy and not very tasty.

61
00:05:27,228 --> 00:05:30,231
His butt? I'd be too embarrassed to
keep that on record too.

62
00:05:30,981 --> 00:05:32,191
But just so you know...

63
00:05:33,734 --> 00:05:36,779
I only bit him.

64
00:05:36,862 --> 00:05:38,280
I didn't kill him.

65
00:05:38,364 --> 00:05:40,157
You care about that kind of stuff?

66
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,617
It's important.

67
00:05:43,035 --> 00:05:43,953
I guess it is.

68
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,748
All right,
let's go to the trading company.

69
00:05:47,831 --> 00:05:50,042
Okay. But before that...

70
00:05:50,125 --> 00:05:50,960
Huh?

71
00:05:54,463 --> 00:05:56,215
Sorry for the wait.

72
00:06:03,347 --> 00:06:06,141
You looked like a nun with that robe on,

73
00:06:06,225 --> 00:06:08,727
but now you look like
a regular girl in town.

74
00:06:08,811 --> 00:06:12,523
You won't find
a girl as cute as me, though.

75
00:06:13,190 --> 00:06:15,943
But in a boring town like this,

76
00:06:16,026 --> 00:06:17,486
I can't even flaunt it.

77
00:06:17,569 --> 00:06:21,490
We'll head to Ruvinheigen once I sell
this pepper to Latparron Trading Company,

78
00:06:21,573 --> 00:06:22,950
so bear with it until then.

79
00:06:27,413 --> 00:06:30,374
Is Ruvinheigen a big town?

80
00:06:30,457 --> 00:06:31,625
It's huge.

81
00:06:31,709 --> 00:06:34,628
It's more of a city than a town.
There are lots of stalls too.

82
00:06:34,712 --> 00:06:37,506
-How about apples?
-You never get tired of that, do you?

83
00:06:37,589 --> 00:06:40,467
What's delicious, is delicious.

84
00:06:40,551 --> 00:06:41,844
So, how about it?

85
00:06:43,512 --> 00:06:45,639
I don't know about fresh apples.

86
00:06:45,723 --> 00:06:49,018
By now, I think they might be pickled
in preparation for winter.

87
00:06:49,101 --> 00:06:50,269
Pickled?

88
00:06:50,352 --> 00:06:52,062
They pickle them in honey.

89
00:06:52,146 --> 00:06:55,941
They also do pears and sometimes peaches,
although that's rare.

90
00:06:56,025 --> 00:06:57,484
It's quite expensive, though.

91
00:06:57,568 --> 00:07:01,238
They thinly slice peaches and add
a layer of figs and almonds in between.

92
00:07:02,156 --> 00:07:05,200
Then they pour a generous amount
of honey over that

93
00:07:05,284 --> 00:07:07,161
and top it off with a bit of ginger.

94
00:07:08,912 --> 00:07:11,040
I've eaten it once.

95
00:07:11,123 --> 00:07:14,418
It's so sweet,
the church even considered banning it.

96
00:07:15,961 --> 00:07:17,963
Hey, you're drooling.

97
00:07:19,673 --> 00:07:22,509
But I'm not sure if it'll be there or not.

98
00:07:22,593 --> 00:07:25,888
It's generally for nobles and rich people,
so stores don't have them...

99
00:07:30,225 --> 00:07:31,643
If the store has them...

100
00:07:31,727 --> 00:07:34,104
Fine! I'll buy it for you.

101
00:07:34,188 --> 00:07:35,731
Promise?

102
00:07:36,357 --> 00:07:37,191
Yeah...

103
00:07:37,274 --> 00:07:39,985
Well then, let's hurry up!

104
00:07:41,779 --> 00:07:43,364
They might sell out.

105
00:07:43,447 --> 00:07:46,784
I can't have that. We're talking about
peaches and honey, you know!

106
00:07:46,867 --> 00:07:49,536
I can't believe it! It's like a dream!

107
00:07:49,620 --> 00:07:51,997
We still don't know
if it's available, okay?

108
00:07:52,081 --> 00:07:54,541
But pears sound just as good.

109
00:07:59,380 --> 00:08:01,632
Pagans and devils

110
00:08:01,715 --> 00:08:05,010
are lurking around town
without us even noticing.

111
00:08:05,094 --> 00:08:06,678
Believe it or not, the other day,

112
00:08:06,762 --> 00:08:08,347
a mage who manipulates

113
00:08:08,430 --> 00:08:12,017
wolves has started living
near Ruvinheigen.

114
00:08:12,101 --> 00:08:15,479
But the church extends mercy to
even people like them

115
00:08:15,562 --> 00:08:17,898
and offers forgiveness.

116
00:08:19,900 --> 00:08:22,444
Well then, shall we talk business now?

117
00:08:23,737 --> 00:08:25,322
Thank you.

118
00:08:25,406 --> 00:08:28,826
So, what kind of goods
did you bring today?

119
00:08:28,909 --> 00:08:30,411
This, here.

120
00:08:31,912 --> 00:08:34,248
Oh, black pepper?

121
00:08:35,624 --> 00:08:37,126
How did you know?

122
00:08:37,209 --> 00:08:38,752
The scent.

123
00:08:38,836 --> 00:08:41,422
All right, let's weigh it.

124
00:08:41,922 --> 00:08:44,550
Do you have a scale?

125
00:08:44,633 --> 00:08:46,718
No, I don't.

126
00:08:46,802 --> 00:08:50,139
However, I trust in God.

127
00:08:52,516 --> 00:08:54,184
I must say,

128
00:08:54,268 --> 00:08:57,521
you brought that at a very good time.

129
00:08:57,604 --> 00:09:01,233
The demand for black pepper has been
soaring recently.

130
00:09:01,316 --> 00:09:06,113
My goodness... If you had come one week
earlier, I could've bought it cheaper.

131
00:09:08,866 --> 00:09:10,659
I'm thirsty.

132
00:09:10,742 --> 00:09:11,910
Wait.

133
00:09:17,207 --> 00:09:20,627
Even a saint cannot live without water.

134
00:09:20,711 --> 00:09:22,671
Would you like water?

135
00:09:22,754 --> 00:09:24,381
Or wine?

136
00:09:24,465 --> 00:09:26,467
May I have water?

137
00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:29,136
One moment, please.

138
00:09:41,398 --> 00:09:44,026
It's worth 45 weights.

139
00:09:44,109 --> 00:09:45,777
Where is this pepper from?

140
00:09:45,861 --> 00:09:49,740
This was imported from
Ramapata in the Kingdom of Leedon.

141
00:09:49,823 --> 00:09:52,743
The Milone Trading Company imported them.

142
00:09:52,826 --> 00:09:54,745
From Ramapata, huh?

143
00:09:54,828 --> 00:09:58,999
This pepper has traveled
quite a long way, hasn't it?

144
00:09:59,082 --> 00:10:01,752
The certificate looks to be real.

145
00:10:02,419 --> 00:10:06,548
Well then, how about we offer
one gold Lumione coin

146
00:10:06,632 --> 00:10:07,925
per weight?

147
00:10:08,008 --> 00:10:10,969
What is the spot price of
gold Lumione coins?

148
00:10:11,053 --> 00:10:13,472
What currency do you mainly use?

149
00:10:13,555 --> 00:10:15,015
Silver Trenni coins.

150
00:10:15,098 --> 00:10:16,600
Let's see...

151
00:10:16,683 --> 00:10:21,063
It's 32 and 5/6 of a coin.
That's the spot price.

152
00:10:26,401 --> 00:10:28,403
That sounds good to me.

153
00:10:29,446 --> 00:10:30,864
Thank you.

154
00:10:32,658 --> 00:10:33,659
What's wrong?

155
00:10:34,743 --> 00:10:36,203
I feel a bit dizzy.

156
00:10:36,286 --> 00:10:37,496
Are you okay?

157
00:10:39,081 --> 00:10:41,166
You must be tired from the long trip.

158
00:10:41,250 --> 00:10:44,503
Everything that I see
is tilting to one side.

159
00:10:50,092 --> 00:10:51,677
Master,

160
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,222
it seems I am still dizzy.

161
00:10:55,305 --> 00:10:56,807
Look,

162
00:10:56,890 --> 00:11:00,811
everything appears tilted in my eyes.

163
00:11:14,324 --> 00:11:19,288
Well then, did I drink water or wine?

164
00:11:20,872 --> 00:11:24,167
What I drank was wine.

165
00:11:24,251 --> 00:11:25,669
Isn't that right?

166
00:11:25,752 --> 00:11:30,882
As they say, "The owner of a busy bar
does not drink himself."

167
00:11:30,966 --> 00:11:32,050
I see.

168
00:11:32,134 --> 00:11:36,179
The key to having a thriving business
is being the only sober one.

169
00:11:36,263 --> 00:11:38,932
-Isn't that right?
-No, this is...

170
00:11:39,016 --> 00:11:42,019
It seems I was drunk on alcohol,
just like my companion.

171
00:11:42,102 --> 00:11:47,107
So I'll probably forget about a few things
that I saw or heard while I was here.

172
00:11:47,190 --> 00:11:51,737
On the other hand, drunkards are known
to say outrageous things.

173
00:11:52,946 --> 00:11:53,864
What?

174
00:11:53,947 --> 00:11:57,242
I'll ask for the payment of the pepper
that is correctly re-weighed,

175
00:11:57,326 --> 00:11:58,327
plus...

176
00:11:59,911 --> 00:12:01,079
Let's see...

177
00:12:02,414 --> 00:12:05,917
consent to buy
double that amount on margin.

178
00:12:06,001 --> 00:12:08,045
That's going too far!

179
00:12:08,128 --> 00:12:09,463
Is that not possible?

180
00:12:09,546 --> 00:12:13,133
That's too bad.
I feel like I'm sobering up.

181
00:12:16,553 --> 00:12:18,847
As for the goods...

182
00:12:18,930 --> 00:12:20,515
What about quality armaments?

183
00:12:22,059 --> 00:12:23,352
Armaments?

184
00:12:23,977 --> 00:12:27,939
The annual great northern expedition
is coming up soon.

185
00:12:28,023 --> 00:12:32,235
Armaments are a safe and sure way
to make a profit, don't you think?

186
00:12:32,319 --> 00:12:34,529
Armaments, huh?

187
00:12:34,613 --> 00:12:38,950
I'm sure you have trading companies that
you're on good terms with in Ruvinheigen.

188
00:12:39,034 --> 00:12:41,870
If I sell it to them and offset the loan,

189
00:12:41,953 --> 00:12:43,914
I can pay you back in no time.

190
00:12:44,581 --> 00:12:46,124
What do you think?

191
00:12:47,709 --> 00:12:49,252
Thank you very much.

192
00:12:49,336 --> 00:12:52,839
Well then,
can you get the goods ready now?

193
00:12:52,923 --> 00:12:54,132
Okay.

194
00:12:54,216 --> 00:12:56,676
Um, what about the appraisal?

195
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,553
I'll trust you with that.

196
00:12:58,637 --> 00:13:00,972
I have faith in God, after all.

197
00:13:01,056 --> 00:13:04,851
Now then, I am also sobering up.

198
00:13:04,935 --> 00:13:08,397
As long as I get
premium wine and dried lamb,

199
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,107
I'll be happy.

200
00:13:10,190 --> 00:13:13,735
There's a place we do
business with nearby,

201
00:13:13,819 --> 00:13:15,779
so please order whatever you want.

202
00:13:15,862 --> 00:13:18,365
I will call someone to escort you there.

203
00:13:23,203 --> 00:13:24,454
Poor guy...

204
00:13:24,538 --> 00:13:27,332
I can't believe you noticed that though.

205
00:13:27,416 --> 00:13:31,044
I have good looks, a fine tail, brains,

206
00:13:31,128 --> 00:13:32,295
and good ears and eyes.

207
00:13:32,379 --> 00:13:35,882
I noticed the moment we entered this room.

208
00:13:35,966 --> 00:13:39,594
I guess it's a good enough trick
to deceive someone like you.

209
00:13:39,678 --> 00:13:41,888
I have nothing to say to that.

210
00:13:43,056 --> 00:13:46,852
You should be fine on your own
from this point on.

211
00:13:46,935 --> 00:13:49,604
I'll go buy food while you finish up.

212
00:13:50,188 --> 00:13:52,274
We have to hurry to Ruvinheigen

213
00:13:52,357 --> 00:13:55,735
for the honey-pickled peaches, after all.

214
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,990
Only enough to get us to Ruvinheigen.

215
00:14:01,074 --> 00:14:04,411
I know! Simple and frugal, right?

216
00:14:15,172 --> 00:14:17,174
That took longer than expected.

217
00:14:17,257 --> 00:14:19,885
Holo isn't back yet?

218
00:14:21,678 --> 00:14:24,347
I hope she doesn't drink
until they go bankrupt.

219
00:14:24,431 --> 00:14:27,851
I heard about it
during my pilgrimage to the north.

220
00:14:27,934 --> 00:14:29,811
The town was worshipping

221
00:14:29,895 --> 00:14:33,356
a pagan wolf god.

222
00:14:46,578 --> 00:14:48,872
-That was delicious.
-Huh?

223
00:14:49,623 --> 00:14:51,291
Don't tell me you ate it all!

224
00:14:51,374 --> 00:14:55,003
Don't worry, there's still more.

225
00:14:55,086 --> 00:14:58,507
What happened to "simple and frugal"?

226
00:14:58,590 --> 00:15:02,761
Well then, now that I'm full,
I have to care for my tail.

227
00:15:08,725 --> 00:15:10,101
That's right...

228
00:15:12,187 --> 00:15:13,146
What's up?

229
00:15:13,230 --> 00:15:17,067
When we get to the next town,
I'd like some oil.

230
00:15:17,150 --> 00:15:17,984
Oil?

231
00:15:18,068 --> 00:15:19,152
Yes.

232
00:15:19,236 --> 00:15:23,031
I've heard that it's good
for tail maintenance.

233
00:15:29,371 --> 00:15:30,789
Buy it for me, will you?

234
00:15:32,415 --> 00:15:34,501
Have you ever calculated
your clothes, comb,

235
00:15:34,584 --> 00:15:36,920
travel expenses,
and food and drink expenses?

236
00:15:37,003 --> 00:15:39,923
Don't tell me you can't do addition.

237
00:15:40,715 --> 00:15:42,843
I can do addition.

238
00:15:42,926 --> 00:15:46,096
Not just that,
I'm also good at subtraction.

239
00:15:46,179 --> 00:15:48,223
Then a smart wisewolf like you

240
00:15:48,306 --> 00:15:50,267
should know my answer.

241
00:15:51,685 --> 00:15:55,730
Yes, I do.
You will most likely buy it for me.

242
00:15:55,814 --> 00:16:00,235
After all, you are going to make
quite a profit thanks to me.

243
00:16:04,197 --> 00:16:06,616
Buy me oil, will you?

244
00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:09,828
Do you realize how much money you owe me?

245
00:16:09,911 --> 00:16:12,414
Why would I buy you
more unnecessary things?

246
00:16:13,081 --> 00:16:17,043
My goodness... Do you want me to
pay off my debt that badly?

247
00:16:17,127 --> 00:16:19,546
Of course!

248
00:16:19,629 --> 00:16:22,549
I didn't realize you felt that way...

249
00:16:22,632 --> 00:16:24,259
What do you mean?

250
00:16:24,342 --> 00:16:27,512
Well, if I pay off my debt,

251
00:16:27,596 --> 00:16:30,098
I'll be free to go.

252
00:16:30,849 --> 00:16:33,602
Then I'll just return to the north.

253
00:16:34,227 --> 00:16:36,897
I wonder how Paro and Myuri are doing?

254
00:16:39,399 --> 00:16:42,360
There is no payment deadline
for your debt.

255
00:16:42,444 --> 00:16:45,989
It's fine as long as you pay it off
before we get to the north forest.

256
00:16:46,072 --> 00:16:47,407
Are you satisfied now?

257
00:16:50,035 --> 00:16:54,706
I'm sure I will pay off my debt
by the time we get to the north forest.

258
00:16:54,789 --> 00:16:56,166
So...

259
00:16:56,249 --> 00:16:57,542
The oil, huh?

260
00:16:58,251 --> 00:17:00,003
Buy it for me, will you?

261
00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:06,343
Thank you!

262
00:17:13,433 --> 00:17:15,727
But why did you get armaments?

263
00:17:15,810 --> 00:17:18,104
Because Ruvinheigen is a supply depot for

264
00:17:18,188 --> 00:17:20,857
the great northern expedition
against the pagans.

265
00:17:20,941 --> 00:17:23,360
Armaments are hot sellers.

266
00:17:23,443 --> 00:17:25,445
Then we'll make quite the profit.

267
00:17:25,528 --> 00:17:28,365
No, there are many merchants
who will be selling them.

268
00:17:28,448 --> 00:17:30,367
So naturally, the interest rate drops.

269
00:17:30,450 --> 00:17:33,411
But with this much stuff,
I'm sure we'll make good money.

270
00:17:33,495 --> 00:17:35,956
We'll make enough
to buy your oil, I guess.

271
00:17:36,039 --> 00:17:40,460
But if you think about it that way,
spices are really great.

272
00:17:40,543 --> 00:17:41,962
You ate it?

273
00:17:42,045 --> 00:17:44,714
I'm not like you. I'm talking about money.

274
00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:48,593
Then you should've just got more spices.

275
00:17:48,677 --> 00:17:52,514
There's not much of a price difference
between Ruvinheigen and Poroson.

276
00:17:52,597 --> 00:17:54,724
You actually lose money
because of tariffs.

277
00:17:54,808 --> 00:17:58,436
If only I could sell something that
is as profitable as spices.

278
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,438
Then I'd have my own shop in no time.

279
00:18:00,522 --> 00:18:02,273
You can't think of anything?

280
00:18:02,357 --> 00:18:06,111
What about jewels or gold?

281
00:18:06,736 --> 00:18:10,532
Those things aren't very profitable
in regard to Ruvinheigen.

282
00:18:10,615 --> 00:18:11,783
Why is that?

283
00:18:11,866 --> 00:18:14,244
When you try to import gold
into Ruvinheigen,

284
00:18:14,327 --> 00:18:16,413
they impose heavy tariffs.

285
00:18:16,496 --> 00:18:19,833
Do the people in that town
not want gold or what?

286
00:18:19,916 --> 00:18:20,750
That's not it.

287
00:18:20,834 --> 00:18:25,130
Merchants who are partnered
with the church bring in gold.

288
00:18:25,213 --> 00:18:28,758
The tariffs
are reduced for them, after all.

289
00:18:28,842 --> 00:18:29,884
Interesting.

290
00:18:29,968 --> 00:18:33,138
And when they take it to
the church in Ruvinheigen,

291
00:18:33,221 --> 00:18:35,765
they can get the gold engraved.

292
00:18:35,849 --> 00:18:39,436
It's then called holy gold
and becomes highly valuable.

293
00:18:39,519 --> 00:18:40,603
Basically,

294
00:18:40,687 --> 00:18:45,525
the church and a handful of merchants
are monopolizing the profit, huh?

295
00:18:45,608 --> 00:18:46,693
Exactly.

296
00:18:46,776 --> 00:18:50,196
Talk about "holy."
It's as filthy as you can get.

297
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,991
Well, if you can manage to smuggle it,

298
00:18:53,074 --> 00:18:55,452
it would sell for ten times more.

299
00:18:55,535 --> 00:18:57,787
Can't we just bring it in secretly?

300
00:18:57,871 --> 00:19:00,415
If we could, everyone would be doing that.

301
00:19:00,498 --> 00:19:03,710
If you're caught, they'll sever
your dominant arm, at the very least.

302
00:19:03,793 --> 00:19:06,504
It's not worth the risk, in my opinion.

303
00:19:06,588 --> 00:19:08,006
That's true.

304
00:19:08,089 --> 00:19:11,009
Well, your business is doing good,

305
00:19:11,092 --> 00:19:13,219
so might as well just keep at it.

306
00:19:13,303 --> 00:19:16,306
But a certain someone keeps
squandering my hard-earned money.

307
00:19:16,973 --> 00:19:18,016
Hey,

308
00:19:18,808 --> 00:19:20,477
there's a lot of people.

309
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:21,394
Huh?

310
00:19:24,481 --> 00:19:27,817
To make a detour,
we'll have to go down Saint Lyne.

311
00:19:27,901 --> 00:19:29,736
How about this fabric?

312
00:19:29,819 --> 00:19:32,864
Can anybody speak Parousian?

313
00:19:36,284 --> 00:19:37,660
Apparently, down this road...

314
00:19:37,744 --> 00:19:41,247
A mercenary company, who should be
in the north, is moving down south.

315
00:19:41,331 --> 00:19:45,001
You can take a detour,
but there are wolves roaming about

316
00:19:45,085 --> 00:19:50,006
and recently, there are rumors of
a pagan mage who can summon wolves.

317
00:19:52,967 --> 00:19:55,637
So, what is Holo the Wisewolf's opinion?

318
00:19:56,679 --> 00:20:00,016
I've never had a good experience
with mercenary companies.

319
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:02,811
Well, they're troublesome
wherever they go.

320
00:20:03,436 --> 00:20:04,646
What about the wolves?

321
00:20:05,939 --> 00:20:07,565
They're easier to handle than humans.

322
00:20:07,649 --> 00:20:09,984
At least I can communicate with them.

323
00:20:10,068 --> 00:20:11,736
Then it's settled.

324
00:20:16,324 --> 00:20:17,951
Nobody is here.

325
00:20:18,034 --> 00:20:21,496
Rumors carry more weight than you think.

326
00:20:21,579 --> 00:20:22,705
Are there any wolves?

327
00:20:22,789 --> 00:20:25,166
Wolves aren't stupid enough to be

328
00:20:25,250 --> 00:20:29,629
spotted that easily in a place
that's as open as this.

329
00:20:29,712 --> 00:20:30,755
However...

330
00:20:35,051 --> 00:20:38,304
the kind of human that I hate
is ahead of us.

331
00:20:38,388 --> 00:20:40,723
The mage or whatever? What should we do?

332
00:20:40,807 --> 00:20:43,601
It's their job to run away.

333
00:20:44,269 --> 00:20:46,771
There's no reason for us to avoid them.

334
00:20:59,784 --> 00:21:01,035
That's...

335
00:21:09,002 --> 00:21:10,253
A shepherd.

336
00:21:11,129 --> 00:21:14,757
The "mage" they were talking about
was a shepherd?

337
00:21:27,687 --> 00:21:29,647
What was that for?

338
00:21:29,731 --> 00:21:32,066
It's a ritual you do
when you meet a shepherd.

339
00:21:32,150 --> 00:21:35,111
Now we know that person is not a mage.

340
00:21:37,697 --> 00:21:40,575
I'm Lawrence, a traveling merchant.

341
00:21:40,658 --> 00:21:42,744
She's Holo, my traveling companion.

342
00:21:46,915 --> 00:21:49,876
If it was God's will that we met,

343
00:21:49,959 --> 00:21:52,921
and if you are a good shepherd,

344
00:21:53,004 --> 00:21:55,131
you should know what to do.

345
