 Horo : Isn't it obvious when you look at my ears and tail? |
Line ID |
| Horo : I'm a proud wolf. |
Line ID |
| Horo : These ears hear everything from lies to cries for help. I have saved countless people from peril because of them. |
Line ID |
| Horo : When people speak of Holo, the wise wolf, it is none other than me! |
Line ID |
| Horo : There are still a few fleas. |
Line ID |
 Kraft Lawrence : Well, it is the finest of furs, after all. |
Line ID |
| Horo : You must be knowledgable to be able to appreciate the virtues of this tail. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I suppose so. |
Line ID |
| Horo : It looks like you're going to become clean as well, |
Line ID |
| Horo : from the top of your head all the way to the bottom of your feet. |
Line ID |
 EXTRA : Let us thank God for today's encounter. |
Line ID |
| EXTRA : Pardon me for asking, but who is this? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : She's my wife. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : She has a burn on her face. |
Line ID |
| EXTRA : I see. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I'll meet with you after I tend to the wet goods. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : We really did get soaked down to our skin. |
Line ID |
| Horo : The cold rain cooling my burn feels good. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : That aside, what am I supposed to do with the wheat? |
Line ID |
| Horo : What do you mean by that? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I-In other words, should I thresh it or leave it as is? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : That's assuming you really do live within the wheat. |
Line ID |
| Horo : As long as I'm here, that wheat will never rot or wither. |
Line ID |
| Horo : If it's eaten, burned, or milled and mixed into the soil, |
Line ID |
| Horo : I may disappear, but it isn't a problem if it's just threshed. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Then I'll separate the grains and put it in a pouch for you. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I'm sure you'd like to keep some for yourself. |
Line ID |
| Horo : That would help, but it'd be even better if I could hang it from my neck. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Your neck, huh? |
Line ID |
| Horo : Yes. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Is it okay to set some of the wheat aside? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I'd like to sell some of it in another land. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Crops from a certain place grow well because that is where they belong. |
Line ID |
| Horo : It would whither quickly. |
Line ID |
| Horo : It is a waste of time going to those places. |
Line ID |
| Horo : In any case, |
Line ID |
| Horo : you still stink even after being out in the rain. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : You little... |
Line ID |
| Horo : I consider you to be a good man. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Try to keep yourself more clean. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I'll make sure it doesn't get in the way of business. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Well, I do think your beard looks nice. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Oh, you noticed it after all. |
Line ID |
| Horo : I'd prefer if it was a little longer. |
Line ID |
| Horo : More like this. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Would you like whiskers like that? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : There are other people here. Don't give yourself away. |
Line ID |
| Horo : I am Holo, the wise wolf. I used to travel in this form all the time. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Leave it to me. |
Line ID |
| Horo : In any case, I never would have thought of a story about hiding a burned face. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Then how would you think? |
Line ID |
| Horo : 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. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I see... |
Line ID |
| EXTRA : Oh, you came from Yorentz? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Yes. I obtained salt over there, delivered it, and exchanged it for the marten furs. |
Line ID |
| EXTRA : But won't it be arduous going back to Yorenz from here? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : That's where a merchant's wisdom comes in. I don't have to go back. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : When I purchased salt at a trading company in Yorenz, I didn't pay there. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : That's because I had sold wheat of roughly the same worth to that company's branch in a different town. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I didn't have to pay for the salt, but I didn't receive any payment for the wheat. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : In other words, I can complete two separate contracts without exchanging any money. |
Line ID |
| EXTRA : Oh, that's rather intriguing. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : This is a system called exchange transactions |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : invented by merchants dealing with people in many different areas. |
Line ID |
| EXTRA : I own a vineyard in a town called Perenzzo, but I've never conducted payment in such a strange way. |
Line ID |
| EXTRA : Is it something I should look into? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : No, you should be fine. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I use it so I can prevent my money from being stolen during a long trip. |
Line ID |
| 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. |
Line ID |
| EXTRA : I get into arguments over that every year. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I can imagine. |
Line ID |
| EXTRA : Mr. Lawrence, was it? |
Line ID |
| EXTRA : Be sure to pay a visit whenever you travel to Perenzzo. |
Line ID |
| EXTRA : You're more than welcome. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Yes, I will. |
Line ID |
| EXTRA : Well, my wife seems to be tired, so... |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Very well. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : May God show us the way. |
Line ID |
 Zheren : Sir, you're quite impressive. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I'm just an ordinary peddler. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : Not at all. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : I wanted to talk to the old couple myself, but I couldn't find an opportunity to do so. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : You, however, did so with ease. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : It seemed like every other peddler was on a monsterous level beyond my reach when I first started out. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : To this day, I still think more than half of them are. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : You have to work hard. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : I'm relieved to hear that. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : My name is Zheren. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Lawrence. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : I'm new to the trade, but it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : Is this person your companion? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : This is my wife, Holo. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : Wow. A family business, huh? |
Line ID |
| Zheren : I can tell you cherish her dearly by looking at how you cover her up. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : It's not like that... |
Line ID |
| Zheren : It must have been God's will for us to meet here. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : Would you let me take a look at her? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Well... |
Line ID |
| Horo : A trip is most fun before one sets out. |
Line ID |
| Horo : A dog is most frightening when he barks. |
Line ID |
| Horo : And women look their prettiest when viewed from behind. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Your fantasy may be gone if you uncover the hood casually. |
Line ID |
| Horo : I could not do something like that to you. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : My, what a splendid wife you have. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I find it difficult to avoid being at her mercy. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : It certainly must be divine will for me to have met such amazing people. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : How about it, sir? Will you listen to my story? |
Line ID |
| Horo : What a nice smell. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Baked potatoes and... could that be goat cheese? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Wait a second. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Oh, is this the wheat? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I attached a leather strap so you could hang it from your neck. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Yes, thank you! |
Line ID |
| Horo : In any case, this comes first! |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I told you to wait! |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : The leather strap, pouch for the wheat, cheese, and donation to the church were pretty expensive, you know. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I expect you to compensate me for all of it, okay? |
Line ID |
| Horo : Is that all you had to say? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Yeah. |
Line ID |
| Horo : I already know that. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Vegetables grown by humans taste much better than leaf buds, |
Line ID |
| Horo : and I like the idea of roasting them with fire. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Hey, don't eat everything all at once. |
Line ID |
| Horo : That was surprising. Human throats are too narrow. How inconvenient! |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Wolves swallow everything at once, don't they? |
Line ID |
| Horo : That's right. They don't have cheeks, so they don't have to waste time chewing everything. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I see. |
Line ID |
| Horo : When I think about it, I almost choked on a potato in the past. |
Line ID |
| Horo : It looks like we don't get along too well. |
Line ID |
| Horo : You evil potato! |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Didn't you say that you can tell when people are lying? |
Line ID |
| Horo : Well, to a certain extent. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : How well? |
Line ID |
| Horo : I could tell you didn't mean it when you complimented my tail. |
Line ID |
| Horo : It isn't perfect, but whether or not you believe in my ability is up to you. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Let's assume I believe you for now. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Could you tell me about that kid? |
Line ID |
| Horo : Kid? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : The guy who talked to us in front of the fireplace. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Well, you're both kids as far as I'm concerned. |
Line ID |
| Horo : You're just slightly more mature. |
Line ID |
| Horo : That kid and his story, huh? |
Line ID |
| Zheren : To tell you the truth, sir, |
Line ID |
| Zheren : there's a rumor that a certain coin will be reissued with a greater amount of silver in it. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : You're not surprised at all, as expected. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : When exchanged for other countries' currency, |
Line ID |
| Zheren : the new silver coins will be worth more. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : In other words... |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : In other words, if you collect the current silver pieces and exchange them once the new coins are issued, |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : you could make a huge profit from the transaction. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : What do you think about sharing a portion of your profit in exchange for information about the silver coin? |
Line ID |
| Horo : I can't elaborate any further, but his story isn't true. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Currency speculation itself isn't rare. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : However... |
Line ID |
| Horo : You don't understand why he would lie to you. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Right? |
Line ID |
| Horo : When people lie, it isn't the lie itself that's important, |
Line ID |
| Horo : but the reason why they lied in the first place. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : How many years do you think it took me to realize that? |
Line ID |
| Horo : There's no need to feel depressed. |
Line ID |
| Horo : You're just a kid. |
Line ID |
| Horo : That aside, what would you have done if I wasn't here? |
Line ID |
| 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. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Why's that? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : If it's true, I can just go along with the prospect of a profit. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : If it's a lie, that means someone is up to something. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Which means there's an opportunity to profit from it if I carefully analyze the situation. |
Line ID |
| Horo : What if I told you it was a lie? |
Line ID |
| Horo : You would not hesitate from the start. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Either way, you would probably pretend to go along with it, right? |
Line ID |
| Horo : I am Holo, the wise wolf. |
Line ID |
| Horo : How much longer than you do you think I have lived? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : That beast... |
Line ID |
| Horo : Please make my husband become a bolder person. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Geez... |
Line ID |
| Horo : Those people sure have become powerful. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : The church has been powerful for quite some time. |
Line ID |
| Horo : It wasn't like that at all when I first came down from the north. |
Line ID |
| Horo : They didn't preach about how God Almighty created the world and how he entrusted it to people. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Nature isn't something that someone can simply create. |
Line ID |
| Horo : I wonder when the church started meddling in comedy. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : That's enough of that for now. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Is this proof of how things have changed with time? |
Line ID |
| Horo : I suppose many things have changed drastically since I left. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Have you changed at all? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Then there's no reason to believe that your homeland has either. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Being comforted by you is a disgrace for the wise wolf. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Hey, hurry up! What are you doing? |
Line ID |
| Zheren : Really? Do we have a deal? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : However, I cannot front the money right now. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : There's little I can do until I exchange these furs for money. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : Let's meet at the port town of Pazzio. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : Once you arrive in Pazzio, seek out a tavern called Yorrend. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : You'll be able to find me there. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Very well. Yorrend, is it? |
Line ID |
| Zheren : Yes, Yorrend's the name. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : I'll be on my way. |
Line ID |
| Zheren : My regards to you as well, madam. |
Line ID |
| Horo : What a noisy human. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Why don't you go with him? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Can't you see that the road is muddy? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Travelling by foot is much faster. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : We don't want to make him travel at our pace. |
Line ID |
| Horo : It's true what they say about merchants and punctuality. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Time is money, as they say. |
Line ID |
| Horo : "Time is money." That's an interesting saying. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : If you have time, you can use it to earn an equivalent sum of money. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : The farmers you've looked after for hundreds of years were precise with time. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Your eyes must have been deceiving you. |
Line ID |
| Horo : They were never precise with time. They are adept at sensing things. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I don't understand. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Listen. They wake up when they sense daybreak |
Line ID |
| Horo : and pull weeds when they sense the afternoon. |
Line ID |
| Horo : They rejoice the buds sprouting when they sense spring, |
Line ID |
| Horo : enjoy crops growing when they sense summer, |
Line ID |
| Horo : celebrate the harvest when they sense fall, |
Line ID |
| Horo : and await the spring when they sense winter. |
Line ID |
| Horo : They never cared about time, |
Line ID |
| Horo : and neither do I. |
Line ID |
| Horo : You may be quick-witted, but you lack experience. |
Line ID |
| Horo : To put it another way... |
Line ID |
| Horo : you might become wise when you're older. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : How many hundreds of years am I away from that? |
Line ID |
| Horo : You indeed have sharp wits. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Your mind might be so old that it's started to fail you. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Do you know why wolves attack people in the woods? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : No. |
Line ID |
| Horo : It's because we gain the powers of humans when we devour their heads. |
Line ID |
| Horo : You still have a lot to learn. |
Line ID |
| Horo : You're no match for me. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Have you ever been attacked in the forest? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I have, |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : about eight times. |
Line ID |
| Horo : I bet they were tough. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Yeah. I managed to stave off the wild dogs, but the wolves were overwhelming. |
Line ID |
| Horo : That's because they feast on people in order to gain their powers... |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Stop it! |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I apologize for saying that your mind has dulled. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : So... please stop it. |
Line ID |
| Horo : I'm sorry. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Are you upset? |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : I'm upset, |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : so never talk about that again. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Wolves have lived in the forest for their entire lives, but dogs have lived with people at least once in their lifetimes. |
Line ID |
| Horo : That's why there's such a difference in ferocity between wolves and dogs. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Wolves only know about the fear of being hunted. |
Line ID |
| Horo : Humans are something to be feared. |
Line ID |
| Horo : That's why we often think about how we should act when people enter the woods. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Does that mean you've also... |
Line ID |
| Horo : Everyone has something they'd rather not talk about, and I'm no exception. |
Line ID |
| Kraft Lawrence : Sorry. |
Line ID |
| Horo : That makes us even, right? |
Line ID |
| Horo : I guess the worlds we lived in are different. |
