Elaina : Ever since I was young, I loved to read. |
(0:00:15.75) |
Elaina : My favorite book was The Adventures of Niké
. |
(0:00:21.41) |
Elaina : It contained records of the witch, Niké, as she traveled around the world. |
(0:00:26.75) |
Elaina : I want to go to lots of places like Niké! |
(0:00:39.41) |
Victorique : Then first, you need to study to become a witch like Niké. |
(0:00:44.75) |
Elaina : If I become a witch, then you'll let me travel? |
(0:00:48.91) |
Victorique : Of course. Right? |
(0:00:51.16) |
Elaina's Father : Huh? |
(0:00:53.33) |
Elaina's Father : Yeah... |
(0:00:54.54) |
Elaina's Father : Only once you're older and become a witch, okay? |
(0:00:56.50) |
Elaina : Really? |
(0:01:00.45) |
Elaina : Really really? |
(0:01:01.87) |
Victorique : Really really. |
(0:01:04.45) |
Elaina : I'm going to be a witch! |
(0:01:10.54) |
Elaina : I don't mean to brag, |
(0:01:18.83) |
Elaina : but I worked assiduously, |
(0:01:21.29) |
Elaina : studying fervently, day after day. |
(0:01:24.33) |
Elaina : And then... |
(0:01:33.54) |
Elaina : There was a girl who passed the magic exams at age 14-- |
(0:01:37.12) |
Elaina : the youngest in the history of the Peaceful Country of Robetta-- |
(0:01:39.33) |
Elaina : and she became an apprentice witch. |
(0:01:43.45) |
Elaina : That's right, it was me. |
(0:01:47.54) |
EXTRA : "Elaina, the Apprentice Witch" |
(0:01:53.00) |
Elaina's Father : Congrats on passing your magic exams, Elaina. |
(0:01:57.66) |
Victorique : We're so proud of you. |
(0:02:00.75) |
Victorique : What's wrong? You're not happy? |
(0:02:05.62) |
Elaina : The other examinees were so weak... |
(0:02:08.45) |
Elaina : At this rate, it's only a matter of time before I become a full witch, huh? |
(0:02:13.25) |
Elaina's Father : Oh? |
(0:02:18.16) |
Victorique : Oh, my... |
(0:02:19.12) |
Elaina : In order for an apprentice witch to become a full witch, |
(0:02:20.83) |
Elaina : she must study under another witch and have her acknowledge her abilities. |
(0:02:23.50) |
EXTRA : Coming! |
(0:02:44.29) |
EXTRA : Yes, what is it? |
(0:02:50.12) |
Elaina : U-Um, I'm Elaina, and I just passed the magi-- |
(0:02:52.16) |
EXTRA : Coming! |
(0:03:03.33) |
EXTRA : Oh, you're... |
(0:03:06.29) |
Elaina : I just passed the magic exams and-- |
(0:03:08.00) |
Elaina : However, it seemed the witches of this country did not find it amusing |
(0:03:12.66) |
Elaina : that I was the youngest to ever pass the magic exams... |
(0:03:17.54) |
EXTRA : I can't do it! I'm sorry! |
(0:03:21.25) |
Elaina : ...and they all refused my request to be their apprentice. |
(0:03:24.62) |
Elaina : At this rate, I won't be able to become a witch. |
(0:03:35.25) |
Elaina : What should I do...? |
(0:03:38.16) |
Elaina's Father : It seems a suspicious witch has settled down deep in the woods. |
(0:03:40.66) |
Victorique : I heard those rumors, too. Apparently, she's called the Stardust Witch. |
(0:03:45.70) |
Elaina : I went to go meet this "Stardust Witch." |
(0:03:53.04) |
Elaina : I thought that if she didn't know who I was, |
(0:03:57.75) |
Elaina : then maybe she'd take me on as an apprentice. |
(0:04:00.20) |
Elaina : Is that it? |
(0:04:08.08) |
Flan : Now, now... |
(0:04:17.04) |
Elaina : The Stardust Witch...? |
(0:04:18.58) |
Flan : There, there! |
(0:04:25.75) |
Elaina : Maybe I'll go home... |
(0:04:29.25) |
Flan : There! |
(0:04:31.20) |
Flan : Oh, good, good! |
(0:04:35.62) |
Flan : Yup, yup! |
(0:04:38.37) |
Flan : There, there! |
(0:04:41.25) |
Flan : Oh, oh, yay! |
(0:04:43.37) |
Elaina : Um, excuse me... |
(0:04:47.08) |
Flan : Oh? What's this? |
(0:04:49.20) |
Flan : Could you be Miss Elaina? |
(0:04:52.45) |
Elaina : You know who I am? |
(0:04:55.91) |
Flan : Yes. You're the girl who passed the magic exams easily at 14, right? |
(0:04:57.20) |
Flan : You're famous, for better or for worse. |
(0:05:02.29) |
Flan : Well, did you need something? |
(0:05:10.29) |
Elaina : No. Sorry to bother you. |
(0:05:12.00) |
Flan : Are you here to ask about becoming my apprentice? |
(0:05:14.66) |
Flan : In that case-- |
(0:05:17.62) |
Elaina : You're going to say no, anyway, right? |
(0:05:18.75) |
Flan : It's fine. |
(0:05:20.16) |
Elaina : Huh?! |
(0:05:23.29) |
Flan : I've got time, anyway. |
(0:05:25.20) |
Elaina : But... um, me...? |
(0:05:27.33) |
Flan : I'm not the same as the Robetta witches. |
(0:05:38.08) |
Flan : It doesn't matter what kind of girl you are to me. |
(0:05:41.29) |
Elaina : Please let me be your apprentice! |
(0:05:50.00) |
Elaina : This is how I met the Stardust Witch--my teacher, Miss Fran. |
(0:05:54.70) |
Elaina : Good morning! |
(0:06:09.95) |
Flan : Good morning... |
(0:06:11.87) |
Flan : I'm hungry. Please make something to eat. |
(0:06:14.29) |
Elaina : What would you like? |
(0:06:17.50) |
Flan : Let's see... |
(0:06:19.25) |
Flan : I feel like steak. |
(0:06:21.58) |
Elaina : Isn't that kind of heavy for breakfast? |
(0:06:24.04) |
Flan : Then, some of those weeds over there will do. |
(0:06:26.41) |
Elaina : Aren't you giving up a little too much? |
(0:06:28.66) |
Flan : Then, bread will be fine! |
(0:06:31.08) |
Flan : I'm going to go pick some wild vegetables. |
(0:06:41.83) |
Elaina : Um, Miss Fran, I'd like you to teach me some magic... |
(0:06:46.45) |
Flan : We'll do that later. I'm off! |
(0:06:50.50) |
Elaina : See you later... |
(0:06:54.04) |
Elaina : No matter how many days passed, Miss Fran wouldn't teach me at all. |
(0:06:56.37) |
Flan : Elaina, we're out of food. |
(0:07:03.79) |
Flan : Please go buy some from the town. |
(0:07:06.95) |
Elaina : Yes, ma'am. |
(0:07:09.29) |
Flan : Elaina, please catch about five geckos. |
(0:07:15.66) |
Flan : I need them for my research. |
(0:07:19.29) |
Elaina : Yes, ma'am. |
(0:07:20.95) |
Flan : Elaina, is dinner ready yet? |
(0:07:24.29) |
Elaina : Yes, ma'am! |
(0:07:27.58) |
Elaina : How to make painkillers... |
(0:07:28.50) |
Elaina : Let's see... |
(0:07:30.79) |
Flan : Elaina, there's a spider in the bath. |
(0:07:42.20) |
Flan : Please get rid of it. It's scary... |
(0:07:45.33) |
Elaina : Yes, ma'am. |
(0:07:51.41) |
Elaina : It's mixed in, huh...? |
(0:07:59.70) |
Flan : You don't like mushrooms? |
(0:08:01.91) |
Flan : Witches should not be picky eaters. |
(0:08:05.66) |
Flan : Elaina, please massage my shoulders. |
(0:08:20.83) |
Elaina : Yes, ma'am. |
(0:08:23.12) |
Flan : Oh, that feels good. |
(0:08:28.58) |
Elaina : Why won't you teach me any magic? |
(0:08:32.37) |
Flan : Oh, harder! |
(0:08:35.66) |
Elaina : With this and that, a month passed without her teaching me anything. |
(0:08:43.16) |
Elaina : I've just been doing chores ever since coming here. |
(0:08:52.33) |
Elaina : What am I doing? |
(0:08:55.70) |
Elaina : Do you finally feel like teaching me magic? |
(0:09:02.75) |
Flan : No, there's nothing for me to teach you. |
(0:09:06.20) |
Elaina : I see. |
(0:09:09.91) |
Flan : Also, I don't feel like stew today. |
(0:09:11.70) |
Flan : Please make something else. |
(0:09:14.41) |
Elaina : Very well. |
(0:09:19.95) |
Flan : This seems to be a good time... |
(0:09:25.41) |
Flan : Elaina. |
(0:09:28.12) |
Elaina : Yes? |
(0:09:31.04) |
Flan : We'll have a test now. |
(0:09:34.12) |
Elaina : Huh? |
(0:09:38.87) |
Elaina : Miss Fran, what kind of test is this? |
(0:09:48.54) |
Flan : I'll have you fight against me. |
(0:09:58.58) |
Elaina : You're kidding... right? |
(0:10:01.62) |
Flan : Okay, let's start. |
(0:10:06.37) |
Elaina : Huh?! |
(0:10:14.00) |
Elaina : If that's what you want, then I'll send you flying! |
(0:10:42.83) |
Elaina : Is she trying to kill me? |
(0:11:42.04) |
Flan : What's the matter? |
(0:11:48.70) |
Flan : You overwhelmed everyone at the magic exams. |
(0:11:50.50) |
Flan : Is that all you've got? |
(0:11:53.87) |
Flan : Let me have some more fun. |
(0:11:58.00) |
Flan : Oh my, finished already? |
(0:12:32.91) |
Flan : Even though you're a star student, you're nothing to write home about... |
(0:12:38.33) |
Flan : I-I'm sorry! |
(0:13:13.16) |
Flan : I didn't think you'd start crying... |
(0:13:15.37) |
Flan : Um... Let's see... |
(0:13:23.87) |
Flan : Take a look at this! |
(0:13:26.75) |
Flan : Here are some of those butterflies you love! |
(0:13:28.25) |
Elaina : I'm
not the one who likes butterflies! |
(0:13:31.25) |
Flan : Th-Then... |
(0:13:34.50) |
Flan : Look, a crown made of weeds! |
(0:13:40.45) |
Elaina : I don't need that! |
(0:13:43.16) |
Flan : Then... |
(0:13:44.16) |
Flan : Look, how about this? |
(0:13:46.70) |
Flan : There, there--hot, hot! It's too hot! |
(0:13:48.66) |
Flan : Um, in that case... |
(0:13:56.62) |
Flan : Calm down. |
(0:14:03.37) |
Elaina : Please, stop! |
(0:14:04.25) |
Elaina : What are you trying to do? |
(0:14:06.04) |
Flan : I'm sorry, really. |
(0:14:08.87) |
Flan : It looks like I overdid it a little. |
(0:14:10.91) |
Elaina : Please stop messing around! |
(0:14:13.33) |
Elaina : You were having fun teasing me! |
(0:14:15.29) |
Flan : I wasn't having fun at all... |
(0:14:17.54) |
Elaina : You were never planning on making me a witch! |
(0:14:20.00) |
Elaina : I hate you! |
(0:14:23.91) |
Elaina : I hate you all! |
(0:14:25.20) |
Elaina : Even though I believed in you and endured everything... |
(0:14:26.95) |
Elaina : I believed that everything would work out... |
(0:14:30.37) |
Elaina : But you're just the same as those Robetta witches! |
(0:14:32.37) |
Elaina : I trusted you. |
(0:14:38.12) |
Elaina : You have no idea how hard I was working! |
(0:14:40.29) |
Elaina : I just... wanted you to acknowledge me... |
(0:14:44.25) |
Flan : I really am sorry. |
(0:14:57.87) |
Flan : I knew very well how you truly felt. |
(0:14:59.87) |
Flan : You did a good job to endure it for so long. |
(0:15:02.75) |
Elaina : Are you trying to trick me again? |
(0:15:05.29) |
Flan : No, I won't trick you anymore. |
(0:15:08.41) |
Flan : I'm at my limit, too. |
(0:15:11.50) |
Flan : You know, I was doing all this because your parents asked me to. |
(0:15:18.87) |
Elaina : What? |
(0:15:24.50) |
Elaina's Father : If she keeps going like this and becomes an adult, |
(0:15:27.58) |
Elaina's Father : there might come a day when she's unable to recover... |
(0:15:31.29) |
Flan : That's why you want me to take her as my apprentice |
(0:15:34.41) |
Flan : and teach her about failures and setbacks? |
(0:15:36.83) |
Victorique : Yes... |
(0:15:40.29) |
Flan : But... |
(0:15:42.50) |
Victorique : Of course, we aren't asking you to do this for free, Miss Fran. |
(0:15:44.33) |
Flan : Oh, dear! I'm not a witch who can be enticed by money... |
(0:15:53.29) |
Flan : I grudgingly
accepted your parents' request. |
(0:15:59.75) |
Flan : At first, I thought I'd put you through extraordinary trials |
(0:16:04.58) |
Flan : so that you would learn about setbacks. |
(0:16:07.62) |
Flan : But you never balked at working hard in order to achieve your goal, |
(0:16:10.50) |
Flan : you're talented, |
(0:16:17.04) |
Flan : and you understand very well how people see you. |
(0:16:19.00) |
Flan : I thought it wouldn't do any good to give you trials |
(0:16:24.37) |
Flan : because you would just endure them and rise again. |
(0:16:27.41) |
Flan : But... |
(0:16:31.08) |
Flan : ...that's also your main problem. |
(0:16:33.62) |
Flan : You endure too much, Elaina. |
(0:16:38.83) |
Flan : Please don't feel like all you have to do is bear with everything. |
(0:16:44.50) |
Flan : If there's something you don't like, fight it. |
(0:16:47.95) |
Flan : Be able to clearly say "No" when you need to. |
(0:16:50.79) |
Flan : So you can protect yourself. |
(0:16:54.91) |
Elaina : Then... the reason you wouldn't teach me magic this whole time... |
(0:17:03.70) |
Flan : I was waiting for you to reach your limit. |
(0:17:09.08) |
Flan : It took a whole month! |
(0:17:12.08) |
Flan : Today's test was for the same reason. |
(0:17:15.25) |
Flan : I really am sorry. |
(0:17:19.16) |
Elaina : Don't endure. |
(0:17:21.95) |
Elaina : That was the first time I'd ever been told that. |
(0:17:23.95) |
Elaina : Miss Fran... |
(0:17:27.41) |
Flan : You have skill and talent. |
(0:17:29.16) |
Flan : All you're lacking is experience. |
(0:17:32.45) |
Elaina : My real training started on that day. |
(0:17:36.87) |
Elaina : In order to gain a lot of different experiences... |
(0:17:40.66) |
Elaina : Good morning, Miss Fran. |
(0:17:45.58) |
Flan : Good morning, Elaina. |
(0:17:48.16) |
Flan : I'm hungry, so please make something to eat. |
(0:17:50.91) |
Elaina : Here are some weeds. |
(0:17:55.08) |
Flan : Um, what kind of harassment is this? |
(0:17:57.66) |
Elaina : You told me to stop enduring things, |
(0:18:01.20) |
Elaina : so I tried to be honest about my feeling like making food for you was a pain. |
(0:18:03.20) |
Elaina : Just kidding. |
(0:18:10.66) |
Elaina : Is yesterday's leftover stew and some hard bread okay? |
(0:18:12.75) |
Elaina : It is, right? |
(0:18:16.45) |
Flan : Yes. |
(0:18:18.37) |
Elaina : In the days after that-- |
(0:18:22.00) |
Elaina : The days when I trained with Miss Fran-- |
(0:18:24.87) |
Elaina : Sometimes, they were hard... |
(0:18:30.54) |
Elaina : ...but they were very fulfilling and fun. |
(0:18:37.91) |
Flan : You've become strong. Very strong. |
(0:19:09.95) |
Elaina : It's my first time beating you. |
(0:19:12.95) |
Flan : With this, you're training's over. |
(0:19:15.54) |
Elaina : Huh? |
(0:19:17.62) |
Flan : You worked hard this past year. |
(0:19:18.91) |
Flan : I don't have anything else to teach you. |
(0:19:21.62) |
Flan : Congratulations, Elaina. |
(0:19:33.45) |
Flan : The Stardust Witch officially acknowledges you as a witch. |
(0:19:35.20) |
Elaina : Thank you very much. |
(0:19:40.04) |
Flan : By the way, about your witch title... |
(0:19:42.04) |
Flan : How about "the Ashen Witch"? |
(0:19:44.66) |
Elaina : How did you come up with it? |
(0:19:47.00) |
Flan : Your hair is the color of ash. |
(0:19:48.54) |
Elaina : Don't you think that's a little too simplistic? |
(0:19:52.16) |
Flan : I thought it was pretty cool, though... |
(0:19:55.91) |
Elaina : By the way, why are you called "the Stardust Witch"? |
(0:19:58.08) |
Flan : Because it's cool, of course! |
(0:20:01.37) |
Flan : Well? What do you think about "the Ashen Witch"? |
(0:20:05.50) |
Elaina : It's fine. |
(0:20:08.66) |
Flan : It's decided then. |
(0:20:10.70) |
Flan : Ashen Witch, Elaina. |
(0:20:13.50) |
Flan : Please do your best from now on. |
(0:20:22.62) |
Elaina : Yes, ma'am. |
(0:20:25.00) |
Flan : Well then, I'm off. |
(0:20:27.75) |
Elaina : Where? |
(0:20:31.45) |
Elaina : Miss Fran told me then |
(0:20:33.58) |
Elaina : that she was actually a distinguished witch from another country. |
(0:20:35.16) |
Elaina : Then, why did you come here? |
(0:20:41.50) |
Flan : There was someone I wanted to meet. |
(0:20:44.00) |
Elaina : Someone you wanted to meet? |
(0:20:46.04) |
Elaina : Did you meet them? |
(0:20:47.45) |
Flan : I wish I could stay longer, |
(0:20:51.91) |
Flan : but there are many people waiting for me back home. |
(0:20:55.16) |
Flan : Goodbye, Elaina. |
(0:20:58.54) |
Flan : Let's meet again someday. |
(0:21:00.29) |
Elaina : Yes, ma'am! |
(0:21:02.37) |
Elaina : Goodbye, Miss Fran! |
(0:21:20.95) |
Elaina : Father, Mother, I've become a witch. |
(0:21:33.29) |
Elaina : So please allow me to go on a journey. |
(0:21:37.83) |
Elaina's Father : You don't have to rush things, do you? |
(0:21:40.16) |
Victorique : You're serious, aren't you? |
(0:21:43.54) |
Elaina : Of course. |
(0:21:44.91) |
Victorique : Then, go. |
(0:21:46.04) |
Elaina : I will. |
(0:21:47.79) |
Victorique : However, there are three promises you must keep. |
(0:21:52.45) |
Victorique : First, if you are in trouble, run away. |
(0:21:57.16) |
Victorique : Second, don't think of yourself as anyone special. |
(0:22:02.33) |
Victorique : Don't forget that you're the same as everyone else. |
(0:22:07.25) |
Victorique : And third, make sure you come back one day and show us that you're doing well. |
(0:22:11.87) |
Victorique : Can you keep these promises? |
(0:22:18.20) |
Elaina : Yes! |
(0:22:20.79) |
Elaina's Father : A-Are you really leaving...? |
(0:22:24.00) |
Victorique : It's something she decided for herself. |

Victorique : Let's see her off properly, okay? |
(0:22:28.70) |
Victorique : Dear, you seem like you'll die of shock when Elaina gets married... |
(0:22:33.33) |
Victorique : It looks good on you. |
(0:22:42.79) |
Elaina : Isn't it a little plain? |
(0:22:45.33) |
Victorique : That's exactly right for a traveler. |
(0:22:48.04) |
Victorique : Take this, too, just in case. |
(0:22:51.33) |
Elaina : It's the same as what I'm wearing, right? |
(0:22:54.87) |
Victorique : It's just in case the wind blows it away. |
(0:22:56.66) |
Elaina : A spare? |
(0:22:59.33) |
Victorique : A spare. |
(0:23:00.70) |
Elaina : Then, I'll bring it with me. |
(0:23:01.95) |
Victorique : Also-- |
(0:23:05.25) |
Elaina : A diary? |
(0:23:09.00) |
Victorique : Write a diary of your travels like Niké. |
(0:23:11.83) |
Victorique : Let me hear your story when you come back someday. |
(0:23:14.87) |
Elaina : Okay, I'll bring it with me, too. |
(0:23:19.50) |
Elaina : Please look forward to hearing the story of the journey of the Ashen Witch. |
(0:23:22.04) |
Victorique : I will. |
(0:23:27.45) |
Victorique : Have a good trip, Elaina. |
(0:23:32.00) |
Elaina : I will! |
(0:23:34.45) |
Elaina : And so, I set off on my journey. |
(0:23:37.25) |
Elaina : As the wind blows, as my fancy led me, |
(0:23:40.00) |
Elaina : I traveled here and there and experienced many things, |
(0:23:42.62) |
Elaina : and three years passed. |
(0:23:46.00) |
Elaina : Now, here's a question: |
(0:23:49.16) |
Elaina : Who is the witch so beautiful she'd make you sigh |
(0:23:51.70) |
Elaina : flying through the stark mountain range? |
(0:23:54.37) |
Elaina : That's right-- |
(0:24:00.37) |
Elaina : It's me, age 18. |
