350
00:16:00,330 --> 00:16:02,850

<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>Nothing that would scar the face.</b></font>

363
00:16:23,090 --> 00:16:24,420
<b>Amazing, huh?</b>

364
00:16:24,420 --> 00:16:27,230
<b>Arpeggio can use minerals

370
00:16:40,950 --> 00:16:43,310

<b>Mages in Rondel are forced to

375
00:17:00,020 --> 00:17:04,870
<b>So it's a fight to see who can

381
00:17:35,130 --> 00:17:36,910

<b>Lelei-dono has been the talk of the town</b>

404
00:19:54,090 --> 00:19:57,750

<b>So why is Lelei the only one getting famous?</b>

417
00:20:30,910 --> 00:20:37,060
