 Holo : Isn't it obvious when you look at my ears and tail? |
(0:01:35.74) |
|
Holo : I'm a proud wolf. |
(0:01:38.70) |
|
Holo : These ears hear everything from lies to cries for help. I have saved countless people from peril because of them. |
(0:01:45.00) |
|
Holo : When people speak of Holo, the wise wolf, it is none other than me! |
(0:01:53.92) |
|
Holo : There are still a few fleas. |
(0:02:14.57) |
 Kraft Lawrence : Well, it is the finest of furs, after all. |
(0:02:18.36) |
|
Holo : You must be knowledgable to be able to appreciate the virtues of this tail. |
(0:02:24.08) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I suppose so. |
(0:02:29.83) |
|
Holo : It looks like you're going to become clean as well, |
(0:02:34.17) |
|
Holo : from the top of your head all the way to the bottom of your feet. |
(0:02:37.88) |
 EXTRA : Let us thank God for today's encounter. |
(0:02:50.14) |
|
EXTRA : Pardon me for asking, but who is this? |
(0:02:55.65) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : She's my wife. |
(0:03:00.49) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : She has a burn on her face. |
(0:03:01.70) |
|
EXTRA : I see. |
(0:03:04.12) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I'll meet with you after I tend to the wet goods. |
(0:03:08.62) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : We really did get soaked down to our skin. |
(0:03:26.60) |
|
Holo : The cold rain cooling my burn feels good. |
(0:03:30.31) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : That aside, what am I supposed to do with the wheat? |
(0:03:35.15) |
|
Holo : What do you mean by that? |
(0:03:39.65) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I-In other words, should I thresh it or leave it as is? |
(0:03:41.86) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : That's assuming you really do live within the wheat. |
(0:03:46.99) |
|
Holo : As long as I'm here, that wheat will never rot or wither. |
(0:03:51.04) |
|
Holo : If it's eaten, burned, or milled and mixed into the soil, |
(0:03:56.54) |
|
Holo : I may disappear, but it isn't a problem if it's just threshed. |
(0:04:00.88) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Then I'll separate the grains and put it in a pouch for you. |
(0:04:06.01) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I'm sure you'd like to keep some for yourself. |
(0:04:09.72) |
|
Holo : That would help, but it'd be even better if I could hang it from my neck. |
(0:04:11.39) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Your neck, huh? |
(0:04:15.56) |
|
Holo : Yes. |
(0:04:16.52) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Is it okay to set some of the wheat aside? |
(0:04:17.94) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I'd like to sell some of it in another land. |
(0:04:20.90) |
|
Holo : Crops from a certain place grow well because that is where they belong. |
(0:04:27.78) |
|
Holo : It would whither quickly. |
(0:04:30.75) |
|
Holo : It is a waste of time going to those places. |
(0:04:33.04) |
|
Holo : In any case, |
(0:04:36.46) |
|
Holo : you still stink even after being out in the rain. |
(0:04:39.13) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : You little... |
(0:04:43.88) |
|
Holo : I consider you to be a good man. |
(0:04:48.43) |
|
Holo : Try to keep yourself more clean. |
(0:04:51.56) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I'll make sure it doesn't get in the way of business. |
(0:04:55.27) |
|
Holo : Well, I do think your beard looks nice. |
(0:04:58.44) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Oh, you noticed it after all. |
(0:05:02.11) |
|
Holo : I'd prefer if it was a little longer. |
(0:05:04.40) |
|
Holo : More like this. |
(0:05:08.16) |
|
Holo : Would you like whiskers like that? |
(0:05:15.33) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : There are other people here. Don't give yourself away. |
(0:05:18.33) |
|
Holo : I am Holo, the wise wolf. I used to travel in this form all the time. |
(0:05:21.09) |
|
Holo : Leave it to me. |
(0:05:25.63) |
|
Holo : In any case, I never would have thought of a story about hiding a burned face. |
(0:05:27.51) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Then how would you think? |
(0:05:34.89) |
|
Holo : Such a burn would be proof of who I am. Just like my ears and tail, I would think that it is a face that belongs to no one but me. |
(0:05:37.69) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I see... |
(0:05:48.99) |
|
EXTRA : Oh, you came from Yorentz? |
(0:05:54.16) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Yes. I obtained salt over there, delivered it, and exchanged it for the marten furs. |
(0:05:57.16) |
|
EXTRA : But won't it be arduous going back to Yorenz from here? |
(0:06:04.01) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : That's where a merchant's wisdom comes in. I don't have to go back. |
(0:06:08.72) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : When I purchased salt at a trading company in Yorenz, I didn't pay there. |
(0:06:13.06) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : That's because I had sold wheat of roughly the same worth to that company's branch in a different town. |
(0:06:18.69) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I didn't have to pay for the salt, but I didn't receive any payment for the wheat. |
(0:06:24.23) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : In other words, I can complete two separate contracts without exchanging any money. |
(0:06:28.78) |
|
EXTRA : Oh, that's rather intriguing. |
(0:06:33.49) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : This is a system called exchange transactions |
(0:06:36.37) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : invented by merchants dealing with people in many different areas. |
(0:06:38.96) |
|
EXTRA : I own a vineyard in a town called Perenzzo, but I've never conducted payment in such a strange way. |
(0:06:43.25) |
|
EXTRA : Is it something I should look into? |
(0:06:50.59) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : No, you should be fine. |
(0:06:53.22) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I use it so I can prevent my money from being stolen during a long trip. |
(0:06:55.51) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : If you're the lord of a manor and own a vineyard, you only need to be careful not to be cheated by traders. |
(0:07:01.85) |
|
EXTRA : I get into arguments over that every year. |
(0:07:09.28) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I can imagine. |
(0:07:12.37) |
|
EXTRA : Mr. Lawrence, was it? |
(0:07:13.49) |
|
EXTRA : Be sure to pay a visit whenever you travel to Perenzzo. |
(0:07:16.24) |
|
EXTRA : You're more than welcome. |
(0:07:21.58) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Yes, I will. |
(0:07:23.21) |
|
EXTRA : Well, my wife seems to be tired, so... |
(0:07:24.88) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Very well. |
(0:07:36.06) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : May God show us the way. |
(0:07:39.89) |
 Zheren : Sir, you're quite impressive. |
(0:07:49.94) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I'm just an ordinary peddler. |
(0:07:52.36) |
|
Zheren : Not at all. |
(0:07:54.99) |
|
Zheren : I wanted to talk to the old couple myself, but I couldn't find an opportunity to do so. |
(0:07:56.16) |
|
Zheren : You, however, did so with ease. |
(0:08:02.16) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : It seemed like every other peddler was on a monsterous level beyond my reach when I first started out. |
(0:08:05.84) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : To this day, I still think more than half of them are. |
(0:08:10.67) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : You have to work hard. |
(0:08:13.72) |
|
Zheren : I'm relieved to hear that. |
(0:08:16.10) |
|
Zheren : My name is Zheren. |
(0:08:18.60) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Lawrence. |
(0:08:22.69) |
|
Zheren : I'm new to the trade, but it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. |
(0:08:23.81) |
|
Zheren : Is this person your companion? |
(0:08:26.90) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : This is my wife, Holo. |
(0:08:30.61) |
|
Zheren : Wow. A family business, huh? |
(0:08:31.86) |
|
Zheren : I can tell you cherish her dearly by looking at how you cover her up. |
(0:08:35.20) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : It's not like that... |
(0:08:39.16) |
|
Zheren : It must have been God's will for us to meet here. |
(0:08:40.70) |
|
Zheren : Would you let me take a look at her? |
(0:08:43.83) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Well... |
(0:08:47.13) |
|
Holo : A trip is most fun before one sets out. |
(0:08:48.00) |
|
Holo : A dog is most frightening when he barks. |
(0:08:51.30) |
|
Holo : And women look their prettiest when viewed from behind. |
(0:08:54.38) |
|
Holo : Your fantasy may be gone if you uncover the hood casually. |
(0:08:58.39) |
|
Holo : I could not do something like that to you. |
(0:09:02.64) |
|
Zheren : My, what a splendid wife you have. |
(0:09:09.98) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I find it difficult to avoid being at her mercy. |
(0:09:13.32) |
|
Zheren : It certainly must be divine will for me to have met such amazing people. |
(0:09:16.16) |
|
Zheren : How about it, sir? Will you listen to my story? |
(0:09:20.66) |
|
Holo : What a nice smell. |
(0:09:35.26) |
|
Holo : Baked potatoes and... could that be goat cheese? |
(0:09:38.72) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Wait a second. |
(0:09:44.64) |
|
Holo : Oh, is this the wheat? |
(0:09:47.27) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I attached a leather strap so you could hang it from your neck. |
(0:09:49.44) |
|
Holo : Yes, thank you! |
(0:09:55.40) |
|
Holo : In any case, this comes first! |
(0:09:59.70) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I told you to wait! |
(0:10:02.37) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : The leather strap, pouch for the wheat, cheese, and donation to the church were pretty expensive, you know. |
(0:10:05.29) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I expect you to compensate me for all of it, okay? |
(0:10:12.50) |
|
Holo : Is that all you had to say? |
(0:10:14.26) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Yeah. |
(0:10:19.34) |
|
Holo : I already know that. |
(0:10:21.76) |
|
Holo : Vegetables grown by humans taste much better than leaf buds, |
(0:10:25.72) |
|
Holo : and I like the idea of roasting them with fire. |
(0:10:29.56) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Hey, don't eat everything all at once. |
(0:10:31.61) |
|
Holo : That was surprising. Human throats are too narrow. How inconvenient! |
(0:10:40.32) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Wolves swallow everything at once, don't they? |
(0:10:45.41) |
|
Holo : That's right. They don't have cheeks, so they don't have to waste time chewing everything. |
(0:10:48.58) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I see. |
(0:10:53.84) |
|
Holo : When I think about it, I almost choked on a potato in the past. |
(0:10:55.05) |
|
Holo : It looks like we don't get along too well. |
(0:11:00.05) |
|
Holo : You evil potato! |
(0:11:02.39) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Didn't you say that you can tell when people are lying? |
(0:11:10.56) |
|
Holo : Well, to a certain extent. |
(0:11:15.86) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : How well? |
(0:11:18.24) |
|
Holo : I could tell you didn't mean it when you complimented my tail. |
(0:11:21.03) |
|
Holo : It isn't perfect, but whether or not you believe in my ability is up to you. |
(0:11:29.58) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Let's assume I believe you for now. |
(0:11:37.00) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Could you tell me about that kid? |
(0:11:38.67) |
|
Holo : Kid? |
(0:11:40.55) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : The guy who talked to us in front of the fireplace. |
(0:11:42.30) |
|
Holo : Well, you're both kids as far as I'm concerned. |
(0:11:46.85) |
|
Holo : You're just slightly more mature. |
(0:11:51.56) |
|
Holo : That kid and his story, huh? |
(0:11:56.07) |
|
Zheren : To tell you the truth, sir, |
(0:12:01.65) |
|
Zheren : there's a rumor that a certain coin will be reissued with a greater amount of silver in it. |
(0:12:03.57) |
|
Zheren : You're not surprised at all, as expected. |
(0:12:11.33) |
|
Zheren : When exchanged for other countries' currency, |
(0:12:13.42) |
|
Zheren : the new silver coins will be worth more. |
(0:12:16.00) |
|
Zheren : In other words... |
(0:12:18.55) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : In other words, if you collect the current silver pieces and exchange them once the new coins are issued, |
(0:12:19.00) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : you could make a huge profit from the transaction. |
(0:12:24.76) |
|
Zheren : What do you think about sharing a portion of your profit in exchange for information about the silver coin? |
(0:12:28.64) |
|
Holo : I can't elaborate any further, but his story isn't true. |
(0:12:38.90) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Currency speculation itself isn't rare. |
(0:12:43.49) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : However... |
(0:12:46.82) |
|
Holo : You don't understand why he would lie to you. |
(0:12:47.74) |
|
Holo : Right? |
(0:12:51.08) |
|
Holo : When people lie, it isn't the lie itself that's important, |
(0:12:52.29) |
|
Holo : but the reason why they lied in the first place. |
(0:12:56.29) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : How many years do you think it took me to realize that? |
(0:13:01.00) |
|
Holo : There's no need to feel depressed. |
(0:13:05.55) |
|
Holo : You're just a kid. |
(0:13:07.72) |
|
Holo : That aside, what would you have done if I wasn't here? |
(0:13:12.31) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I'd hold off on deciding whether it's true or not, and act as if I was going along with Zheren's proposal for now. |
(0:13:17.90) |
|
Holo : Why's that? |
(0:13:25.28) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : If it's true, I can just go along with the prospect of a profit. |
(0:13:27.24) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : If it's a lie, that means someone is up to something. |
(0:13:30.28) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Which means there's an opportunity to profit from it if I carefully analyze the situation. |
(0:13:34.71) |
|
Holo : What if I told you it was a lie? |
(0:13:40.84) |
|
Holo : You would not hesitate from the start. |
(0:13:46.43) |
|
Holo : Either way, you would probably pretend to go along with it, right? |
(0:13:49.55) |
|
Holo : I am Holo, the wise wolf. |
(0:13:56.10) |
|
Holo : How much longer than you do you think I have lived? |
(0:13:59.48) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : That beast... |
(0:14:44.48) |
|
Holo : Please make my husband become a bolder person. |
(0:15:09.51) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Geez... |
(0:15:24.82) |
|
Holo : Those people sure have become powerful. |
(0:15:27.53) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : The church has been powerful for quite some time. |
(0:15:30.74) |
|
Holo : It wasn't like that at all when I first came down from the north. |
(0:15:33.95) |
|
Holo : They didn't preach about how God Almighty created the world and how he entrusted it to people. |
(0:15:39.66) |
|
Holo : Nature isn't something that someone can simply create. |
(0:15:48.92) |
|
Holo : I wonder when the church started meddling in comedy. |
(0:15:52.88) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : That's enough of that for now. |
(0:16:01.14) |
|
Holo : Is this proof of how things have changed with time? |
(0:16:03.81) |
|
Holo : I suppose many things have changed drastically since I left. |
(0:16:06.57) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Have you changed at all? |
(0:16:12.45) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Then there's no reason to believe that your homeland has either. |
(0:16:21.04) |
|
Holo : Being comforted by you is a disgrace for the wise wolf. |
(0:16:33.18) |
|
Holo : Hey, hurry up! What are you doing? |
(0:16:41.64) |
|
Zheren : Really? Do we have a deal? |
(0:16:53.15) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : However, I cannot front the money right now. |
(0:16:56.28) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : There's little I can do until I exchange these furs for money. |
(0:16:58.58) |
|
Zheren : Let's meet at the port town of Pazzio. |
(0:17:01.08) |
|
Zheren : Once you arrive in Pazzio, seek out a tavern called Yorrend. |
(0:17:04.62) |
|
Zheren : You'll be able to find me there. |
(0:17:08.04) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Very well. Yorrend, is it? |
(0:17:10.59) |
|
Zheren : Yes, Yorrend's the name. |
(0:17:12.42) |
|
Zheren : I'll be on my way. |
(0:17:14.09) |
|
Zheren : My regards to you as well, madam. |
(0:17:16.13) |
|
Holo : What a noisy human. |
(0:17:20.31) |
|
Holo : Why don't you go with him? |
(0:17:22.72) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Can't you see that the road is muddy? |
(0:17:24.94) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Travelling by foot is much faster. |
(0:17:27.10) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : We don't want to make him travel at our pace. |
(0:17:30.07) |
|
Holo : It's true what they say about merchants and punctuality. |
(0:17:32.73) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Time is money, as they say. |
(0:17:35.32) |
|
Holo : "Time is money." That's an interesting saying. |
(0:17:38.28) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : If you have time, you can use it to earn an equivalent sum of money. |
(0:17:41.28) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : The farmers you've looked after for hundreds of years were precise with time. |
(0:17:45.25) |
|
Holo : Your eyes must have been deceiving you. |
(0:17:50.88) |
|
Holo : They were never precise with time. They are adept at sensing things. |
(0:17:53.00) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I don't understand. |
(0:18:02.06) |
|
Holo : Listen. They wake up when they sense daybreak |
(0:18:03.81) |
|
Holo : and pull weeds when they sense the afternoon. |
(0:18:08.27) |
|
Holo : They rejoice the buds sprouting when they sense spring, |
(0:18:11.06) |
|
Holo : enjoy crops growing when they sense summer, |
(0:18:13.82) |
|
Holo : celebrate the harvest when they sense fall, |
(0:18:16.99) |
|
Holo : and await the spring when they sense winter. |
(0:18:19.66) |
|
Holo : They never cared about time, |
(0:18:22.20) |
|
Holo : and neither do I. |
(0:18:24.83) |
|
Holo : You may be quick-witted, but you lack experience. |
(0:18:26.79) |
|
Holo : To put it another way... |
(0:18:37.88) |
|
Holo : you might become wise when you're older. |
(0:18:40.22) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : How many hundreds of years am I away from that? |
(0:18:45.85) |
|
Holo : You indeed have sharp wits. |
(0:18:50.60) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Your mind might be so old that it's started to fail you. |
(0:18:53.57) |
|
Holo : Do you know why wolves attack people in the woods? |
(0:18:59.53) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : No. |
(0:19:04.53) |
|
Holo : It's because we gain the powers of humans when we devour their heads. |
(0:19:05.37) |
|
Holo : You still have a lot to learn. |
(0:19:12.75) |
|
Holo : You're no match for me. |
(0:19:15.80) |
|
Holo : Have you ever been attacked in the forest? |
(0:19:22.97) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I have, |
(0:19:26.77) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : about eight times. |
(0:19:28.10) |
|
Holo : I bet they were tough. |
(0:19:33.44) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Yeah. I managed to stave off the wild dogs, but the wolves were overwhelming. |
(0:19:35.52) |
|
Holo : That's because they feast on people in order to gain their powers... |
(0:19:43.78) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : Stop it! |
(0:19:48.41) |
|
Kraft Lawrence : I apologize for saying that your mind has dulled. |
(0:19:51.58) |
|
