01x06 - Maven of Fire

[bunniefuu]

One hundred years have passed

since the Battle of Galluah Plains,

where King Kyle defeated

the Dark Lord Angmund.

The Demons rise again,

threatening the world,

spreading fear and unrest to all.

After saving the Forest of Elidora,

Kasel convinced Lorraine

to remove a seal on the Holy Sword Aea.

He continues his journey to visit

the next person who can undo a seal:

Aeatola, the orc chieftain.

The Holy Sword is Lua's Curse.

Will you become Lua's puppet as well?

"Maven of Fire"

There's still a long ways to go.

Yeah, I didn't expect meeting

the orc chieftain to be easy.

We just have to push on towards Ogria Mountain.

Yes. We're nearing another town.

It's famous for many sightseeing spots

and great signature foods.

Omelets, sausages, even spiders for Kasel!

Really? I'm looking forward to that.

You really can't stop treating this

as a sightseeing trip, can you?

That's not fair.

I just thought everyone looks tired,

so I wanted to cheer everyone up.

Come on, we're almost there. Let's go!

This is one of the towns

I wanted to visit for a long time

So excited!

This is quite a lively town.

Guys, over here!

Wow

I wonder how much this costs?

Hey, sir!

Give me everything you got here!

Eat up, you need energy!

R-Right

Kasel, have some extra.

What? Are you sure? Thank you.

You're welcome.

There's a sightseeing spot over that way,

called the Fountain of Krall.

Can we stop by?

No, we don't have time for that.

We have to push on.

Come on, just for a little bit?

No.

This town was engulfed in w*r

about 30 years ago.

It was on the verge of being destroyed.

But the surviving residents banded together,

held their heads up high,

and rebuilt the town as a sightseeing center,

according to a book I read.

Isn't that wonderful?

Don't you want to support them?

Well Yes.

Then we have to go sightseeing.

Huh? Um

If we go right through this town,

we'll be sleeping outside tonight.

Yes. We've been camping outside

every night for a while now.

Tonight, we should find

a nice inn and rest well.

I guess that means it makes sense for us

to spend the whole day today in town

Yeah. And since we're here, let's enjoy!

Cleo, what's going on?

This is all the money we have left.

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry. I should have been

a stricter babysitter

There's no point in dwelling on the past.

I guess we're camping out again

What? No way. I want to sleep in a fluffy bed!

You shouldn't be talking.

Don't worry. In a town like this,

there should be plenty of ways to make money.

Sit tight! I'll find us some work.

Work?

This place will pay us

and let us stay at an empty room!

I'll work in the kitchen!

I guess I'm serving on the floor

Making good tea for customers? Got it.

Everyone's looking good!

What about me?

Oh, they said Kasel can stay as-is.

I see

Okay, let's make some money!

Welcome.

Thank you for waiting.

The Holy Sword is Lua's Curse.

Will you become Lua's puppet as well?

What in the world did that mean?

King Kyle fought to protect everyone

How can the Holy Sword be a curse?

What is she doing?

There.

You're a sorceress?!

Show us more magic!

No, no. Magic isn't for show, it's precious.

But I want to see.

Please, Chef Cleo!

Oh, really? Well

Just a little bit, then

There.

Go.

Get water! Hurry!

I'm sorry!

I guess this is better than

camping out in the mountains

Cleo seems very depressed

I've never seen Cleo look so sad.

She should really reflect on her actions.

In the Tower of the Sage,

Cleo is seen as a genius with a bright future,

but she just doesn't know

about the outside world.

Also, given her personality,

she sometimes does outrageous things.

Has she done something before?

She blew up an entire building.

What?

Fortunately, nobody was hurt.

Dominix said, Cleo needs to figure out

how to put her potential to use.

Cleo, can I sleep next to you?

It's getting cold, so we should stick together.

Sure

This makes it look like a star.

That thing I'm sorry.

I couldn't even imagine this would happen

No, I'm glad you got me this.

I'll treat it well.

Frey, you're kind.

I wonder. If I had an older sister,

would she be like you?

Cleo

I don't remember my mother's face--

she passed away when I was small.

I see

The only thing I remember is

Wow, awesome! I want to be

a great sorceress like you, mom!

The stronger you become, the more

sadness there will be. Don't forget that.

I haven't figured out what that means, but

If my mother was still alive, there is so much

I would have wanted to ask her

Yes But I think, if you

practice your magic more,

you'll understand what your mother meant.

Do you really think so?

You're still connected to

your mother through magic.

Still Yes, you might be right

Good night, Cleo.

Wake up, Kasel!

Hmm, where's Roi?

Look at this.

"Will go make some money. Roi"?

Cleo's missing, too

--Huh?

--Hey, guys!

I found work!

It's a restaurant in the outskirts

of town called Madam Volf's

Hmm? Where's Roi?

I see Nowhere to be found.

It's the past--let it go.

I need to sell this off.

Is there really a restaurant

all the way out here?

It's just grass and rocks

What are these big rocks lying around for?

Hey, look!

Huh? So you want to work here?

Y-Yes

Well, get started then.

There's a ton of stuff to do!

Y-Yes

This is going to be tough

It does indeed look like a lot of work.

I'm getting excited!

Right, I'll do my best, too!

Fix it up already.

Are you going to take all day?

So slow. Be quicker!

There!

Ah, so you're a sorceress?

That's right.

That means you can work

a thousand times harder.

Huh?

Clean the lamps!

Fix the roof!

Scrub the floors!

Does this have anything to do with magic?!

Hey, old lady, aren't you overworking me?!

"Old lady"? There's nobody with that name here.

The only person in this house is me,

the Madam, girl!

I'm not a girl, I'm Cleo.

Sure, whatever. Get back to work, girl.

I said it's Cleo!

Fine, I'll do the work, Madam Wolf.

Oops! I mean, Madam Volf.

You said that on purpose.

Why would I? Just because you open

your mouth wide like a wolf to nag at me,

I would never call someone a wolf!

Fine then, I'll shut your noisy trap!

How do you suppose you'll do that?

Ugh, that Madam!

Where's your wisecracking now, girl?

Cleo does have an attitude,

but that Madam has that and some more

It's like watching two children fight.

Fine, bring it on, Madam!

What else do you want done?!

Wipe the windows!

Well then. The restaurant is clean,

but you are filthy.

Go take a bath.

You must be hungry. Eat up.

Thank you.

It's delicious!

I haven't cooked in a long time.

This place is in the outskirts,

I rarely get customers.

That's a shame.

Why don't you try advertisement or something?

It's fine. I cook over charcoal.

I can't cook very much too quickly, anyway.

If I use my fire magic, I can help--

Fire magic?!

No! Anything but that!

I see, so you can use fire magic.

But you can't, not in these parts.

Why?

This might just be bare land right now,

but it used to be a whole town,

full of travelers.

But one day, the w*r came.

People, houses, chaos, fighting

They all burned down.

Including my family.

The only things that remained were me

and my restaurant.

You see those rocks scattered about?

Those are makeshift gravestones.

With so many dead,

I couldn't even make proper graves.

I didn't know

There used to be buildings here

I know more than anyone

how terrifying fire can be.

So please, don't use that magic here.

Madam, my magic is for saving people.

It's not for doing bad things

The sorcerer back then also tried to protect us.

But as a result, caused great tragedy

The only fire you can use here is charcoal.

With a small mistake,

my magic can hurt people very badly

The stronger you become,

the more sadness there will be.

Maybe this is what my mother tried to tell me

Demons!

No!

Demons!

Take care of the Madam.

--Yes!

--What's going on?!

Kasel!

We'll hold them off here!

Got it!

Again? Is it happening again?

No, we won't let it.

Run, Madam!

But

Hurry!

--You okay?!

--Yeah

Watch out!

Cleo, use your magic!

But I can't

I can't use magic here!

No!

What have I done? Because of me, she's

Cleo! Use your magic!

The present is more precious than the past!

You have to live!

Use your magic, save your friends!

Magic, for protecting my friends!

Madam, I

You put your life on the line

to protect your friends.

Madam

Oh? You have a bit more girth than I thought.

Madam!

There you are.

--Roi!

--Where were you?

Roi! You're late! We were just fighting Demons!

Demons?

I see. Good work.

What is this lack of gravity?!

There, there. See? I made us some money.

Wow! Okay, I'll take good care of this

I will manage this from here on.

Yeah.

Fine.

I think I understand just a little bit now

what it means to wield magical powers.

I can't defend anyone with

a half-hearted attitude!

All right, let's make this a great day!

While we continued our travels,

the Black Edge experienced many successes,

and many within the castle

began to support them.

However, not everyone was happy about that.

"The Target of Hatred"
