Original subtitles

I’m going to be a knight.

That’s a good one! Uncle Hannibal won’t believe it!

I’m telling you Luke, I’m serious.

You know, I love this city and the people.

That’s why I want to protect them.

So that they can keep smiling forever.

I’m sure you can do it!

I need a favor then...

Please forge a katana just for me.

But I’m still...

I know!

Someday, I’ll be a knight and you’ll be a blacksmith and we’ll protect this city together.

Wouldn’t that be great?

Yeah, you’ve got it!

Then...

It’s a promise.

Luke, wake up!

Breakfast is getting cold!

Has it been three years already?

Episode 9

Vestige –Lisa–

You’re off duty today, right?

Yes, I thought I’d take the chance to train.

I’d like to gain a bit more muscle on my upper arms.

What a shame...

A girl of your age is thinking of gaining muscle on a day off?

But, Mom—

I’d like you to behave more like a lady.

Is that too much to wish for?

Aren’t there any people you would like to spend time with?

N-No, there’s no such person!

My, so there is one.

Why you... When did this happen?

What is he like?

He’s unsociable, but I guess he’s good looking.

Aria!

I see.

Fio, prepare a change of clothes for Cecily.

Understood.

A change of clothes?

I’ll lend you some that I used to wear.

Dress up nicely and invite that gentleman out.

L-Let go, Fio!

Help me, Aria!

Aria, find the target.

Leave it to me!

Traitor!

Hey! Where are you touchi—

I’m not ready! Stop!

Which are the good ones?

Again? I don’t know.

Do you know what she likes?

That’s right. I never asked.

I’m clueless.

I think white flowers usually work.

Like say... This flower.

Well, I think this one will do.

I’m not letting anyone see me!

Why do I have to wear this getup?

Listen up! Step one is to be seductive!

Seductive!

Don’t return until you’ve firmly captured his heart.

I'll leave you two alone, so how about you go out all night?

What’s with these assumptions?!

He doesn’t think of me as a woman!

And why Luke?

But it could be, if I’m dressed like this...

What am I thinking?!

I’m going home.

Cecily?

I thought it was you.

You look cute.

You’re off today?

I guess so.

Perfect. There’s something I want to ask of you.

She wants her dagger fixed.

Could you take her to Luke’s?

M-Me?

Are you busy?

No, it’s not that...

I am Elsa. Could you, please?

First, you’re a servant, now you’re a noble?

W-What do you mean?

I meant what I said.

Don’t you have something else to say?

What do you want me to say, then?

Well...

Well...?

You look pretty today!

Is that what you wanted to hear?

W-What’s with you?

I’m just kidding.

State your business already.

I brought you a customer.

A customer?

Her name is Elsa and she wants her dagger fixed.

It's very precious to me. Can you fix it?

A misericorde?

So?

The core is broken.

It’s impossible to repair.

Can’t you come up with something?

No, I can’t.

Then can you at least let me try?

If you want to...

I want to.

You’re not doing it?

I’m leaving on some minor business.

Where to?

Why do I have to tell every—

Do you want to come, too?

Eh?

You’re a bit weird.

W-What’s weird?

You’ve tripped over ten times when there’s nothing to trip over.

R-Really?

What are you getting nervous about?

D-Don’t be ridiculous!

I’m not one to get nervous just because I’m alone with a guy!

Actually, yesterday I walked around together with a male coworker.

Okay, okay.

I won’t bite or anything, so don’t get all tense.

D-Don’t make fun of me.

Are you angry?

No, I’m not!

You really are like a certain someone...

Who am I like?

I wonder...

Anyway, where are we going to?

You’ll know eventually.

Then what are those flowers for?

Just a gift.

A gift? To whom?

You’ll also know that eventually.

Where are you going?

What’s up with you?

I’m not going with you.

If I’m acting a little weird, then so are you two.

I’m sorry. Because of me, you couldn’t...

It’s okay, this is what I wanted to do.

I decided I wouldn’t go there with him.

Did you have an argument with Lisa?

We had nothing of the sort.

Really?

Why are you asking?

Well...

She’s very diligent and never complains, but...

But?

I’m having second thoughts about whether or not this is all right.

A while ago I bought her a hat.

She kept thanking me and made me realize something.

I’ve never done something as simple as that for her.

There are probably several other things I haven’t noticed.

I wonder if it’s all right for her to stay by me.

And if there are other ways for her to live.

You’re thinking too hard.

Lisa trusts you and sticks with you.

And, above all, I believe she wants to be with you.

I wonder about that...

Does Lisa really willingly stay by my side?

That’s clearly the case, isn’t it?

I sure hope so.

What do you want to do for Lisa?

I want to protect her.

Protect?

I’d do anything to protect her.

I’d take on anything.

This dagger gives out a sort of sad feeling.

As if it’s crying.

That’s why I couldn’t just leave it.

How did you know?

I don’t know, it’s just a feeling.

The meaning of misericorde’s name is mercy.

It is used to deal the finishing blow to a knight who is fatally injured.

So it’s used to put them to rest?

Yes, it was given to a knight’s beloved daughter when he left to go to war.

He swore he’d return home even if he were half-dead and have his loving daughter deal the finishing blow.

However, when the knight returned...

The one who was supposed to die lived and the one who was supposed to live died.

And and above all he was hurt.

Like that dagger.

If you could fix this blade, you might be able to fix the past.

That’s what you thought, right?

I-I’m sorry!

It’s all right.

After all, even if you can fix a sword, you can’t fix the past.

Lisa?

It’s pronounced “Liza.”

Lisa Oakwood.

The girl I couldn’t protect.

Lisa Oakwood.

The girl I couldn’t protect.

Couldn’t protect?

Yeah.

The name of the shop is pronounced “Liza”.

It was named after this girl?

Lisa was my childhood friend.

Three years ago, Valbanill killed her.

W-Wait a second! Who killed her?

Valbanill did.

Valbanill? That’s just a mutant from a legend, right?

He’s no legend.

Valbanill really exists.

That can’t be.

I saw him with my own eyes.

And he’s still in there.

That day we followed dad to Tatter, the atelier.

Damn. My old man locked me out again.

You can’t help it. You’re still an apprentice.

I know, but are you okay with that thing?

Never mind that. This is your first katana and you made it just for me, right?

It’s still a failure.

What, you gave me a defective one?

It’s not defective! It’s the best I could make with my current skills.

It’s all right then, right?

No way! If I practice more, I can forge better katanas.

Well, Tamahagane is expensive too, so...

You’ve gotten better.

I practice everyday, you know?

I’m pretty decent now, right?

All alone. It’s not fair.

Don’t fret.

When I become a knight, I’ll protect you.

I want to protect everyone in the city.

And that includes you too.

I’m so glad I’m going cry.

So you better become a top grade smithy and forge me the best katana.

Say, did you know there’s a cave just beyond here?

You mean the one that goes through Blair Volcano?

It’s off limits now.

Want to check it out?

We shouldn’t go near it!

We’re just taking a peek. Or are you scared?

It’s fine, I’ll protect you, no problem.

Who are you calling scared?

It was foolish of us.

We went deeper and deeper into the cave just for kicks.

And he was there.

Lisa!

Lisa died.

My father came to find us and was killed, too.

I couldn’t do anything.

I just stood there and watched.

Everyone died. I let them die!

That’s right, I’m the only one.

I was the only one who ran away.

I was the only one who survived.

Only me!

Enough!

I was the only one!

I’m sorry. I’m fine.

Sorry, I said too much.

No...

B-But...

Why did you bring me here?

I don’t know why, either.

It’s just that there’s a bit of a resemblance.

Between you and her.

I’m sorry, but I can only do this much.

It’s fine. Thank you very much.

W-Well, do your best.

What matters most is the present.

Do you really think so?

Can one really discard their past and upbringing and live in the present?

I want to believe so...

Is that so?

I wonder if Cecily is doing all right...

I just can’t stand the curiosity!

That girl...

Luke, you’re shrouded in too much mystery.

I still don’t know you at all.

I thought we could grow closer if I knew more about you.

But...

Now I’m scared of knowing more.

See ya.

Luke!

What?

Well, do you love Lisa?

I loved her.

Lisa is long gone.

Did you find it?

So? Did you sense Valbanill’s presence?

Master, do you recall this?

What is that?

That man said there was someone with Valbanill’s blood in his veins.

But that black-clothed man seems untrustworthy.

What about that? Enough of that!

That war... Valbanill killed Elda! That loathsome Valbanill!

I will avenge Elda no matter what!

I loathe him! I loathe him!

Master, please hold on.

Where is Valbanill?

I’ve found him.

Cecily, there was something weird today and—

Well, I guess I'll save it for tomorrow.

Rain?

The birds said it wouldn’t rain today, though...

Well, having it pour like this feels all the more refreshing.

Did something happen?

When you came back, Miss Cecily wasn’t with you, either.

Lisa!

Yes.

Who is he?

This is where you’ve been, Valbanill?!

You’ve called me here! Take heed, Valbanill!

What is that?

It’s a magic sword. One that controls lightning.

Don’t move from here!

Who the hell are you?

Silence!

Damn it!

Valbanill!

Lisa!

Die, Valbanill!

Lisa!

Let's go!

Oh!

Yeah!

Oh!

sotto sotto soba ni imasu soyokaze no you ni

Softly, softly, by my side, like a gentle breeze.

shun to suru namida nante kawakaseru you ni

The tears that flowed out were blown dry, just like that.

POKKETTO no naka no chiisa na negai wa

Because the tiny wish inside my pocket

anata no egao dakara

is your smile.

Yeah!

hashire hashire motto hayaku

Run, run, even faster.

kanashii koto atta toki mo

Even when something sad happens,

kakete yukou kono michi wo

let's dash down this road.

chizu nante itsumo kokoro ni aru

Things like maps are always in our hearts.

ashita wa HAPPII DEI

Tomorrow is a happy day.

Happy day.

kirari MIRAKURU HAPPII DEI

Sparkle, miraculous, happy day.

Oh!

Yay!
