Holo : For as long as anyone could remember, |
(0:01:32.69) |
Holo : the people of this village said that the wolf was running past the wheat whenever the wind would cause it to bend. |
(0:01:35.07) |
Holo : The wolf was said to have trampled the wheat when the wind caused it to topple over, |
(0:01:42.29) |
Holo : and they blamed a poor harvest on the wolf's insatiable appetite. |
(0:01:46.37) |
Holo : In the beginning, there was nothing aside from warmth. |
(0:01:50.54) |
Holo : A promise was then made. |
(0:01:56.80) |
Holo : Greetings and farewells occurred time and time again. |
(0:02:17.82) |
Holo : Human beings eventually gained the ability to obtain prosperity on their own. |
(0:02:20.66) |
Holo : They may no longer feel the need to uphold the promise. |
(0:02:27.75) |
Kraft Lawrence : I'm growing tired of the country roads. |
(0:02:40.26) |
Kraft Lawrence : Right? |
(0:02:43.89) |
EXTRA : A peddler? |
(0:02:49.31) |
Kraft Lawrence : A half-day trip toward the east will take you to a small village in the mountains. |
(0:02:50.85) |
Kraft Lawrence : I just came back from selling salt there. |
(0:02:55.36) |
EXTRA : So all of this is salt? |
(0:02:57.44) |
Kraft Lawrence : No. |
(0:02:59.07) |
Kraft Lawrence : This is fur. |
(0:03:01.82) |
Kraft Lawrence : Oh, that's just a bundle of wheat. |
(0:03:05.16) |
Kraft Lawrence : It's a type that's impervious to both warm and cold weather. |
(0:03:07.83) |
Kraft Lawrence : What's going on? |
(0:03:11.75) |
Kraft Lawrence : Things look unusually tense. |
(0:03:13.42) |
EXTRA : It seems that a pagan festival is going to be held in the village to the west. |
(0:03:15.75) |
Kraft Lawrence : Pagans? |
(0:03:20.34) |
EXTRA : Insolent people who don't believe in our omnipotent God. |
(0:03:23.14) |
EXTRA : I think the Pope should exercise his authority like he did in the past, |
(0:03:27.14) |
EXTRA : but it seems like he can't keep them in line. |
(0:03:31.69) |
EXTRA : Those pagans must be deceiving him with their tricks. |
(0:03:33.56) |
Kraft Lawrence : Pagans, huh? |
(0:03:36.94) |
Kraft Lawrence : The people of Pasloei? |
(0:03:39.32) |
EXTRA : Hello, Mr. Lawrence. |
(0:03:44.66) |
EXTRA : Wow, I was really surprised. |
(0:03:46.41) |
EXTRA : Who would have thought this new method would yield such a bountiful harvest? |
(0:03:48.49) |
EXTRA : It's all thanks to the Earl. |
(0:03:51.50) |
EXTRA : The wolf wasn't reliable at all. |
(0:03:53.08) |
EXTRA : Hey, you better watch what you say. It's supposed to be a deity, you know. |
(0:03:56.00) |
EXTRA : Hi, Mr. Lawrence. |
(0:04:00.80) |
Kraft Lawrence : Hello. It's been a while. |
(0:04:02.80) |
EXTRA : You couldn't have picked a better time to stop by. |
(0:04:05.18) |
EXTRA : The harvest festival starts tomorrow. |
(0:04:07.68) |
Kraft Lawrence : Tomorrow? It looks like it already started. |
(0:04:09.93) |
EXTRA : To tell you the truth, it already has in this area. |
(0:04:14.81) |
EXTRA : What do you say? |
(0:04:17.11) |
EXTRA : Now, now. Mr. Lawrence is different from people like you and I. |
(0:04:17.69) |
EXTRA : Sorry about that. |
(0:04:21.78) |
Kraft Lawrence : By the way, do you know where Chloe is? |
(0:04:25.62) |
EXTRA : Chloe? |
(0:04:28.37) |
EXTRA : I see. I see what this is all about. |
(0:04:29.58) |
Kraft Lawrence : She's just an apprentice of mine. I thought we'd share a drink as business partners for old times' sake. |
(0:04:31.79) |
EXTRA : That's unfortunate. |
(0:04:37.84) |
EXTRA : That area had the least amount of crops this year, |
(0:04:40.59) |
EXTRA : so she might become the Holo of the festival. |
(0:04:43.34) |
EXTRA : Look over there! A wolf's lying nearby! |
(0:04:49.35) |
EXTRA : Who's going to catch the wolf? |
(0:04:52.60) |
EXTRA : There it is! |
(0:04:57.06) |
Kraft Lawrence : Chloe! |
(0:04:58.48) |
Chloe : Lawrence! |
(0:05:01.73) |
Chloe : You came! |
(0:05:03.53) |
Kraft Lawrence : If you don't pay attention, Holo's going to run away! |
(0:05:04.74) |
EXTRA : This is the last bundle. |
(0:05:08.70) |
EXTRA : Is a greedy person hiding wheat? |
(0:05:10.66) |
EXTRA : Be careful! Holo might run away! |
(0:05:12.91) |
EXTRA : Who's the one who caught the wolf? |
(0:05:15.21) |
EXTRA : It's Chloe, Chloe, Chloe! |
(0:05:17.42) |
EXTRA : Holo the wolf has appeared! Catch her! Catch her! |
(0:05:43.11) |
EXTRA : She's going that way! |
(0:05:45.86) |
EXTRA : Mr. Lawrence, catch her! |
(0:05:47.03) |
Chloe : It's been a while since we last saw each other, so I'm expecting you to treat me out tonight. |
(0:05:55.58) |
Kraft Lawrence : What's that supposed to mean? |
(0:06:06.22) |
Kraft Lawrence : You're going to be stuck in there for a week. |
(0:06:13.89) |
EXTRA : We've been able to find many new clients thanks to you. |
(0:06:18.39) |
Kraft Lawrence : It seems like Chloe's doing well as the village negotiator. |
(0:06:23.82) |
EXTRA : Yes, she's doing a fine job. |
(0:06:28.15) |
EXTRA : This village is in for a rapid change. |
(0:06:31.24) |
Kraft Lawrence : Oh, Trenni silver coins. |
(0:06:34.04) |
Kraft Lawrence : You don't see too many of these around here. |
(0:06:36.87) |
EXTRA : We've said our farewells to the rusty, blacken Lute silver coins. |
(0:06:39.79) |
Kraft Lawrence : This village is going to rival big towns like Pazzio in the near future. |
(0:06:43.79) |
EXTRA : Well, we still have a long way to go. |
(0:06:47.72) |
EXTRA : In any case, we owe everything to the new lord of the manor, Earl Ehrendott. |
(0:06:49.72) |
EXTRA : We no longer need to pray to the wolf. |
(0:06:55.85) |
EXTRA : The power of man has triumphed over drought and storms. |
(0:06:59.02) |
EXTRA : I'd like to fill this up with Lumione gold coins rather than Trenni pieces. |
(0:07:03.69) |
Kraft Lawrence : When that happens, please continue to make use of my services. |
(0:07:09.57) |
Kraft Lawrence : An outsider will only get in the way. |
(0:07:28.26) |
Kraft Lawrence : That aside, it's a stretch to think they can start replacing their coins with Lumione pieces anytime soon. |
(0:07:32.59) |
Kraft Lawrence : Let's get some sleep. |
(0:07:40.60) |
Kraft Lawrence : This can't be... |
(0:08:11.72) |
Kraft Lawrence : Hey, you... |
(0:08:15.34) |
Kraft Lawrence : W-Wake up! |
(0:08:26.81) |
Kraft Lawrence : What are you doing in someone else's wagon? |
(0:08:28.57) |
Kraft Lawrence : I told you to wake up! |
(0:08:38.41) |
Kraft Lawrence : Y-Your ears... |
(0:08:42.29) |
Kraft Lawrence : H-Hey... |
(0:09:10.98) |
Holo : It's a beautiful moon, isn't it? |
(0:09:38.55) |
Holo : Hey, you... Do you have any alcohol? |
(0:09:41.10) |
Kraft Lawrence : I-I don't have anything like that. |
(0:09:46.85) |
Kraft Lawrence : First of all... |
(0:09:48.94) |
Holo : Is that so? How about something to eat? |
(0:09:49.65) |
Holo : My, my. What a waste. |
(0:09:54.07) |
Kraft Lawrence : You... |
(0:10:04.20) |
Kraft Lawrence : Have you been possessed by the devil? |
(0:10:05.50) |
Holo : How ungrateful of you, |
(0:10:08.50) |
Holo : pointing a dagger at me. |
(0:10:10.88) |
Kraft Lawrence : W-What did you say? |
(0:10:12.75) |
Holo : Oh, that's right. You're not from this village. |
(0:10:15.30) |
Holo : Sorry, I forgot. |
(0:10:19.22) |
Holo : My name is Holo. |
(0:10:28.27) |
Holo : It's been quite a while since I last took this form, |
(0:10:30.27) |
Holo : but it seems to fit me just fine. |
(0:10:33.57) |
Kraft Lawrence : Holo? |
(0:10:35.82) |
Holo : Yes. It's a nice name, don't you think? |
(0:10:36.44) |
Kraft Lawrence : What a coincidence. |
(0:10:38.70) |
Kraft Lawrence : I know someone who goes by that very name. |
(0:10:40.36) |
Holo : Oh? I don't know anyone else who goes by the name of Holo. |
(0:10:43.28) |
Holo : Where is that person from? |
(0:10:48.41) |
Kraft Lawrence : It's the name of a deity that has been revered by the surrounding villages for countless generations. |
(0:10:50.04) |
Kraft Lawrence : Are you trying to say you're a god? |
(0:10:54.04) |
Holo : I am considered a god and have been bound to this land for some time, |
(0:10:59.51) |
Holo : but I am not God almighty. |
(0:11:03.68) |
Holo : I am simply Holo. Nothing more, nothing less. |
(0:11:07.10) |
Holo : Did you think I was a poor crazy woman who's been confined to her home all her life? |
(0:11:10.52) |
Holo : You did, didn't you? |
(0:11:16.82) |
Holo : I was born in the plains of the north. |
(0:11:19.70) |
Kraft Lawrence : North? |
(0:11:22.36) |
Holo : Yes, a place where the summers are short and the winters are long. |
(0:11:23.45) |
Holo : My home is the forest of Yoitz. |
(0:11:27.66) |
Holo : It is a snowy world where everything sparkles. |
(0:11:31.67) |
Holo : You're a traveling merchant, aren't you? |
(0:11:43.76) |
Holo : Will you take me with you? |
(0:11:47.35) |
Kraft Lawrence : Why should I? |
(0:11:49.48) |
Holo : I have a talent for evaluating people. |
(0:11:50.68) |
Holo : I can tell you're not a cold-hearted man who will decline a request. |
(0:11:53.48) |
Kraft Lawrence : Don't come any closer! |
(0:11:58.94) |
Kraft Lawrence : I'm not a good-natured man! |
(0:12:00.36) |
Holo : Won't you treat me kindly? |
(0:12:01.86) |
Holo : You're so naive. |
(0:12:04.91) |
Holo : I don't dislike this appearance, but it's too cold for my liking. |
(0:12:09.91) |
Kraft Lawrence : Holo! |
(0:12:21.84) |
Kraft Lawrence : If you're really Holo, the wise wolf, prove it to me! |
(0:12:24.80) |
Holo : Are you asking me to reveal my true form? |
(0:12:30.52) |
Kraft Lawrence : Yes. |
(0:12:33.48) |
Holo : I don't want to. |
(0:12:35.27) |
Kraft Lawrence : W-Why? |
(0:12:36.61) |
Holo : That's what I'd like to ask! |
(0:12:38.61) |
Kraft Lawrence : Well, if you're a human being, I'm going to turn you over to the church. |
(0:12:41.11) |
Kraft Lawrence : Associating with someone who's been possessed is nothing but bad news. |
(0:12:45.82) |
Kraft Lawrence : However, if you really are Holo, the goddess of the harvest, |
(0:12:48.20) |
Kraft Lawrence : I'm willing to reconsider your request since you may be able to bring luck and fortune to me. |
(0:12:51.79) |
Holo : Do you really want to see it? |
(0:13:01.17) |
Kraft Lawrence : Yes, I do. |
(0:13:03.72) |
Holo : I'm going to ask you one last time. |
(0:13:06.05) |
Holo : Do you really want to see it? |
(0:13:08.30) |
Kraft Lawrence : Absolutely. |
(0:13:11.01) |
Holo : Every transformation requires a form of compensation. |
(0:13:14.18) |
Holo : In my case, it's either life blood |
(0:13:18.86) |
Holo : or a small amount of wheat. |
(0:13:22.99) |
Kraft Lawrence : I'll settle for the wheat. |
(0:13:25.53) |
Kraft Lawrence : H-Hey... |
(0:13:41.88) |
Kraft Lawrence : What's wrong? |
(0:13:45.51) |
Kraft Lawrence : Sorry for coming back so suddenly. |
(0:14:06.32) |
EXTRA : It's not a problem. I'm going to the festival, but you can take it easy. |
(0:14:09.03) |
Kraft Lawrence : Who is it? |
(0:14:20.96) |
Chloe : It's Holo. |
(0:14:21.75) |
Kraft Lawrence : Holo? |
(0:14:22.75) |
Chloe : Since you never showed up, I came to pick you up. |
(0:14:27.13) |
Kraft Lawrence : Aren't you supposed to stay in the barn? |
(0:14:30.18) |
Chloe : It's not like a real Holo exists anyway. |
(0:14:33.39) |
Chloe : Come on, let's go. |
(0:14:36.60) |
Kraft Lawrence : Where are we going? |
(0:14:38.35) |
Chloe : Didn't you promise to treat me out? |
(0:14:39.81) |
Chloe : You smell differently than before. |
(0:14:42.02) |
Chloe : Did you make your rounds at Sauschbasch? |
(0:14:44.11) |
Kraft Lawrence : You still have a good nose. |
(0:14:46.36) |
Chloe : The scent of each town is easy to distinguish once it settles in. |
(0:14:48.03) |
Kraft Lawrence : You've changed. |
(0:14:52.28) |
Kraft Lawrence : You look really confident. |
(0:14:54.41) |
Chloe : I do, don't I? I'm doing pretty well. |
(0:14:56.04) |
Chloe : I just might surpass you before you know it, Lawrence. |
(0:14:59.96) |
Kraft Lawrence : Oh? |
(0:15:02.83) |
Kraft Lawrence : Allow me to offer my services when that time comes. |
(0:15:04.84) |
Chloe : How cruel! You didn't mean that at all! |
(0:15:07.26) |
Kraft Lawrence : Of course I did. |
(0:15:10.55) |
Kraft Lawrence : This liquor tastes great. |
(0:15:12.18) |
Kraft Lawrence : Hey, hey. Take it easy. |
(0:15:16.72) |
Chloe : If you really do believe in me, I have a good deal you might be interested in. |
(0:15:18.56) |
Chloe : If everything goes well, you may even own a store and become the master of a household. |
(0:15:22.44) |
Kraft Lawrence : That sounds wonderful. |
(0:15:28.57) |
Chloe : This isn't a joke! |
(0:15:30.11) |
Chloe : This is a huge business opportunity, and we'll become rich if everything goes according to plan. |
(0:15:31.91) |
Chloe : Lawrence? |
(0:15:38.75) |
Kraft Lawrence : You're becoming more and more like your father. |
(0:15:42.33) |
Kraft Lawrence : He was always exaggerating when it came to business. |
(0:15:45.29) |
Chloe : It's not like that this time. |
(0:15:49.34) |
Chloe : That's why I'm only telling you, Lawrence. |
(0:15:51.47) |
Kraft Lawrence : Every opportunity comes with its own share of problems. |
(0:15:54.68) |
Kraft Lawrence : That's why you want to hire me, right? |
(0:15:58.68) |
Chloe : I want to work with you because I respect you in my own way, Lawrence. |
(0:16:02.69) |
Chloe : Lawrence, I've engraved the things you've taught me in my heart. |
(0:16:06.82) |
Chloe : I was able to come as far as I have because of you. |
(0:16:11.74) |
Chloe : It's all thanks to you, Lawrence. |
(0:16:15.03) |
Kraft Lawrence : It's risky. |
(0:16:22.58) |
Kraft Lawrence : Risky, risky... |
(0:16:24.63) |
Kraft Lawrence : You're still young. |
(0:16:27.34) |
Kraft Lawrence : You should gain more experience before you commit yourself to an all-or-nothing situation. |
(0:16:29.55) |
Chloe : How disappointing! |
(0:16:37.26) |
Chloe : Chances like these don't come often. |
(0:16:38.68) |
Kraft Lawrence : I'll find a risk-free business deal for you next time. |
(0:16:41.52) |
Kraft Lawrence : I'll work with you under those circumstances. |
(0:16:45.56) |
Chloe : I've grown up in more ways than you know of. |
(0:16:48.19) |
Kraft Lawrence : You still have a lot to learn as a merchant. |
(0:16:57.03) |
Chloe : If you think lightly of me, you'll regret it some day. |
(0:17:01.54) |
Kraft Lawrence : I look forward to that moment. |
(0:17:05.79) |
Chloe : A woman? |
(0:17:09.42) |
Chloe : It seemed like you were lost in thought. |
(0:17:11.17) |
Chloe : Did you find a better partner? |
(0:17:13.55) |
Kraft Lawrence : I was just wondering how it'd be to have Holo as a partner. |
(0:17:15.38) |
Chloe : Holo? |
(0:17:19.39) |
Chloe : Are you talking about me? |
(0:17:20.76) |
Kraft Lawrence : No, I was thinking about the real Holo. |
(0:17:22.10) |
Chloe : How disturbing. You have such a wild imagination. |
(0:17:24.64) |
Kraft Lawrence : Imagination? |
(0:17:27.94) |
Chloe : Imagination. |
(0:17:29.23) |
Kraft Lawrence : Imagination, huh? |
(0:17:30.86) |
Chloe : Yes, imagination. |
(0:17:32.40) |
Kraft Lawrence : What if Holo did exist? |
(0:17:35.61) |
Chloe : Again with the delusions? |
(0:17:37.99) |
Kraft Lawrence : I wonder if it could feel sorrow. |
(0:17:39.37) |
Chloe : That can't be. |
(0:17:40.95) |
Chloe : Holo is a deity, after all. |
(0:17:43.20) |
Kraft Lawrence : You're right. |
(0:17:46.92) |
Kraft Lawrence : There's no way she really exists. |
(0:18:00.85) |
Holo : Who are you looking for? |
(0:18:03.68) |
Kraft Lawrence : Holo! |
(0:18:05.89) |
Holo : You don't have to act so surprised. |
(0:18:07.19) |
Kraft Lawrence : Where were you hiding? |
(0:18:13.48) |
Holo : I exist in the harvested wheat during this season. |
(0:18:15.28) |
Holo : Usually, I cannot leave there because people would see me. |
(0:18:18.95) |
Holo : However, there is an exception. |
(0:18:23.12) |
Kraft Lawrence : Exception? |
(0:18:25.12) |
Holo : If there is more wheat than the last reaped wheat nearby, I can move there. |
(0:18:25.87) |
Holo : Well, in other words... |
(0:18:34.50) |
Holo : How should I put it? You're like my savior, so to speak. |
(0:18:36.76) |
Kraft Lawrence : At that time, |
(0:18:43.22) |
Kraft Lawrence : when I saw your true appearance, |
(0:18:45.14) |
Kraft Lawrence : I was struck with disbelief. |
(0:18:48.23) |
Kraft Lawrence : Is that why you disappeared? |
(0:19:03.49) |
Holo : A long time ago, a young villager asked me to produce a good crop of wheat. |
(0:19:08.00) |
Holo : I have protected these fields since that time. |
(0:19:16.42) |
Holo : However, bountiful harvests in succession burden the soil. |
(0:19:19.30) |
Holo : It is necessary to produce a poor harvest on occasion. |
(0:19:22.80) |
Holo : The villagers blamed it on my capricious nature. |
(0:19:25.81) |
Holo : Resentment escalated year by year. |
(0:19:30.39) |
Holo : Nobody needed me anymore. |
(0:19:33.48) |
Holo : Even when I was needed, people feared the mere sight of me. No one would dare to come close. |
(0:19:36.32) |
Holo : That wasn't what I wanted. |
(0:19:43.78) |
Kraft Lawrence : Assuming that I believe your story for the time being... |
(0:19:53.17) |
Holo : You're such a skeptical man. |
(0:19:56.42) |
Kraft Lawrence : Do you have anywhere to go once you leave the village? |
(0:19:59.05) |
Holo : I want to go back north. |
(0:20:07.18) |
Chloe : Lawrence! |
(0:20:24.61) |
Kraft Lawrence : It's okay. You can come out now. |
(0:20:34.67) |
Holo : Tying shoelaces in there was rather difficult. |
(0:20:39.21) |
Kraft Lawrence : That's to be expected... |
(0:20:46.14) |
Kraft Lawrence : Shoelaces? |
(0:20:47.80) |
Kraft Lawrence : Hey, those are my... |
(0:20:54.35) |
Holo : Yeah. Do they look good on me? |
(0:20:57.02) |
Kraft Lawrence : Those are my best clothes. I spent ten years collecting those garments. |
(0:20:59.32) |
Holo : It seems like it. |
(0:21:01.69) |
Holo : The tailoring is wonderful. |
(0:21:02.78) |
Holo : You're not so bad as a merchant. |
(0:21:04.99) |
Kraft Lawrence : Either you take those clothes off and leave... |
(0:21:08.37) |
Holo : You're not the type of person who would follow through on that threat. |
(0:21:11.08) |
Kraft Lawrence : You'll regret it if you underestimate me. |
