02x07 - I Met a Pine Spirit

[bunniefuu]

Natalie: Great Witch, would you like to get married?

Main - Top,Azusa: Run, run, run, run, run, run...

Natalie: Wait! Don't get the wrong idea!

Natalie: I didn't mean with me!

Azusa: I have no intention of marrying anyone!

Natalie: Please, just hear me out!

Azusa: "Find your ideal partner in the nature-rich village of Tazine.

Azusa: Hold your wedding ceremony at the temple of the pine spirit Misjantie,

Azusa: a place steeped in tradition.

Azusa: Come join our matchmaking party."

Azusa: Matchmaking party?

Natalie: Tazine is a small village,

Natalie: and it's been struggling with its declining population.

Natalie: So the guild's top brass has been pushing me to send one of our young folks there.

Azusa: It's not easy being a guild receptionist, huh?

Natalie: Please! All you'd need to do is show up!

Natalie: Just as a formality!

Azusa: Hmm... Can I go there to see the sights and just drop in on the way?

Natalie: Yes! That would be just fine!

Azusa: Okay, I guess I'll go, then.

Natalie: Thank you so much!

Natalie: You should bring Halkara and Flatorte along

Natalie: so the four of us can make it a ladies' outing!

Azusa: Four of us?

Natalie: Yes! I'll be going with you!

Azusa: What?! You're going, too?

Natalie: Let's all have a happy wedding!

Title: I've Been k*lling Slimes for Yearsand Maxed Out My Level Season

I Met a Pine Spirit

Main - Top,Flatorte: I'm not interested in marriage anymore.

Halkara: Same here. My work is more important to me right now.

Azusa: Yeah, same. But the matchmaking party can just be a—

Main - Top,Natalie: Everyone!

Natalie: At the party, we'll have the Great Witch start up a conversation with the men,

Natalie: and then Halkara will share a quick anecdote to loosen everyone up.

Natalie: And toward the end, Flatorte, I'd like you to propose exchanging contact info!

Azusa: Uh-huh...

Natalie: No need to worry! It'll be my job to back you up!

Natalie: Let's all work together to bag some rich, handsome, highly-educated men!

Azusa: You sure are fired up, Natalie.

Azusa: This is Tazine's shopping district, right?

Natalie: Yes...

Natalie: It used to be prosperous and filled with shoppers, but now...

Flatorte: It's really gone downhill.

Natalie: Anyway, let's head to the party venue!

Natalie: The handsome men should all be there!

Party Venue

Natalie: Handsome men...

Azusa: Why don't we start with some sightseeing?

Misjantie Temple

Main - Top,Natalie: This is Tazine's top tourist attraction,

Main - Top,Natalie: the Misjantie Temple.

Natalie: The pine spirit enshrined here, Misjantie,

Natalie: is well-known as a spirit who blesses marriages.

Flatorte: The village is falling apart, but the temple sure looks well-kept.

Halkara: It must've brought in a lot of money in the past.

Azusa: I thought it'd be full of people praying for success in finding a partner.

Azusa: Right, Natalie?

Natalie: I guess the prayers didn't work.

Natalie: I can hear the lonely cry of the cuckoo now.

Azusa INT: Natalie...

Azusa: Huh?

Azusa: Who are you?

Misjantie: What? You can see me?

Misjantie: I try to stay invisible to ordinary humans...

Misjantie: I'm the pine spirit, Misjantie.

Azusa: Oh, so you're her?

Misjantie: Mediating marriages is more like my real job than the pine spirit thing, though.

Misjantie: But as the village declines, there are fewer couples getting married,

Misjantie: so my business is a bust.

Halkara: Master, is someone here?

Flatorte: It's a gloomy-looking woman.

Misjantie: Huh?!

Misjantie: How are there two humans here who are high-level enough

Misjantie: to see a spirit who's concealing her presence?!

Flatorte: What are you?

Misjantie: I told you, I'm a pine spirit!

Halkara: What's going on, exactly?

Misjantie: I'm actually a pretty prestigious spirit, you know!

Azusa: Misjantie, could you make yourself visible to everyone? You're confusing people.

Misjantie: Okay, okay! Just get this dragon girl off of me!

Halkara: So you're the pine spirit?

Flatorte: You should have said so sooner.

Misjantie: I did!

Natalie: Excuse me, Madam Spirit!

Misjantie: Yeah?

Natalie: Could you use your spirit powers to help me find a good partner?

Natalie: Like a rich, handsome, highly-educated man!

Misjantie: Hard to find one who's highly educated.

Natalie: A handsome man who makes lots of money, then, please!

Misjantie: Not many who make that much money, either.

Natalie: All right, fine!

Natalie: I'll settle for anyone if I have to, as long as he's hot!

Azusa INT: Only his looks still count in the end.

Misjantie: Can't help with that, either.

Misjantie: My job is to mediate marriages, nothing more.

Natalie: No...

Misjantie: You're lucky, though! I've got a good deal for you!

Misjantie: There's a matchmaking party going on in Tazine right now.

Misjantie: Go there, and you can find some real studs!

Azusa: We actually stopped by there already.

Misjantie: What?! And it didn't work out?

Misjantie: Yeah, it sure didn't.

Natalie: Great Witch, we needn't stay here long. Let's go home.

Misjantie: Hang on a minute, please!

Misjantie: The Misjantie Temple is seriously doomed at this rate!

Misjantie: Please help me!

Azusa: Exactly how are we supposed to help you, though?

Misjantie: I need one of you to get married and have the ceremony in my temple,

Misjantie: and then say a prayer to the pine spirit!

Azusa: And then you'll get your powers back?

Misjantie: Nope. But if you then make an offering to me,

Misjantie: I'll get my economic strength back.

Azusa INT: She just got real.

Natalie: There isn't even anyone to marry, though.

Misjantie: I've never seen a human threaten a spirit before...

Azusa: Sorry to say it, but we have no plans to get married.

Misjantie: Not a problem!

Misjantie: I have several marriage bundles you can choose from!

Azusa: No amount of bundles will make a difference if none of us gets married, right?

Misjantie: There are plans that don't require you to get married!

Misjantie: Such as...

Falfa/Shalsha: A sister wedding?

Misjantie: Yeah!

Misjantie: You hold a ceremony to promise that you'll always stay close as sisters.

Falfa: I wanna do that!

Falfa: It's always been my dream to wear a wedding dress!

Shalsha: An older sister is one who looks after her younger siblings.

Shalsha: In this case, it makes more sense for me to wear the dress.

Falfa: Aw, that's just a technicality!

Falfa: I wanna wear a wedding dress!

Shalsha: This is the one thing I can't yield to you on.

Misjantie: I see, I see.

Misjantie: In that case, I have just the plan for you!

Misjantie: I call it the "Two Tasty Treats in One" plan!

Azusa: And how does that work?

Misjantie: Weddings are often very long.

Misjantie: Some people change outfits partway through.

Azusa INT: Ah, like changing for the reception!

Misjantie: How about you both appear in men's formal wear first,

Misjantie: and then you both change into dresses for the latter half?

Misjantie: That'll make things equal.

Falfa: That sounds good! I'd like to try wearing both, anyway!

Shalsha: Yes. That kills two birds with one stone.

Azusa: Okay, Misjantie, could you set us up with that plan?

Misjantie: You got it!

Misjantie: Also, who will you be inviting to the ceremony?

Azusa: I know someone who'd be on my case for a century if I didn't invite her...

Department of Agriculture

Main - Top,Beelzebub: What did you say?!

Main - Top,Beelzebub: A sister wedding?!

Azusa: Before you get the wrong idea,

Azusa: it's a ceremony where they promise they'll always stay close as sisters.

Azusa: Falfa and Shalsha aren't actually marrying anyone. Relax.

Beelzebub: What a relief.

Beelzebub: I might have had to do something to whomever they were going to marry.

Azusa INT: What were you going to do?

Azusa: So we can assume you'll be there, right?

Beelzebub: Of course! As their guardian, I am obligated to attend!

Azusa: I'm their guardian, actually.

Text: I've Been k*lling Slimes for Yearsand Maxed Out My Level Season

Flatorte: You're serving as the receptionist for the wedding?

Azusa: Yeah. Misjantie asked me to.

Laika: Would you like us to help?

Azusa: Thanks, Laika.

Azusa: But this ceremony is for my daughters.

Azusa: As their mom, I have to do my part for them.

Rosalie: Sister, isn't that...

Eno: Good afternoon, everyone!

Eno: I, Eno, the Witch of the Cave,

Eno: am here to hand out my new Forest Drink to everyone!

Eno: It speeds up your metabolism,

Eno: giving you a healthy body without the need to overwork yourself!

Rosalie: I guess all humans want to live as long as they possibly can.

Azusa INT: I'm not sure if she sounds convincing or not...

Eno: It's sold locally as an en-mrfrf-y drink made by Hal-mrfr-a,

Eno: but products you drink so you can work harder when you're tired aren't good for you.

Eno: But my Forest Drink, on the other hand—

Halkara: Wait a minute! Why are you dissing my product?!

Halkara: And you know, eating proper meals every day is much healthier than drinking this stuff!

Eno: Excuse me?!

Eno: Well, getting lots of sleep will give you more energy than your energy drink!

Rosalie: If you two are gonna start talking like that, you're both done.

Azusa: And could you not fight right now of all times?

Yufufu: Congratulations, Azusa.

Yufufu: If anything happens, come talk to me anytime, okay?

Azusa: I will, Momma. Thanks.

Pecora: Congratulations, Dear Sister!

Beelzebub: Congratulations.

Azusa: Beelzebub! You look so different today!

Beelzebub: This is my daughters' big day, after all.

Beelzebub: I had a new dress made.

Pecora: It'll be our turn next, Dear Sister!

Azusa: Yeah, that's not happening!

Azusa: Fightie! Did you run here again?

Fightie: Yes... It was great training.

Fightie: So how much money have they received as gifts?

Azusa INT: Seriously, all she ever talks about is money.

Pondeli: Azusa! Congratulations on this happy occasion!

Azusa: Pondeli! How's the shop going?

Pondeli: Great, thank you! I'm enjoying playing games and lazing around!

Azusa INT: When you just hear the things she says, she's totally a recluse.

Natalie: Congratulations, Great Witch!

Azusa: Natalie! We've been waiting for you!

Natalie: Incidentally, there will be a bouquet toss, right?

Natalie: I'm going to catch it, whatever it takes!

Azusa INT: Typical Natalie. She's so eager to get married.

Falfa: Mama, do we look okay in these tuxedos?

Shalsha: I'm worried, too.

Azusa: You both look fantastic!

Azusa: Your mama will be watching you every moment, okay?

Laika: Lady Azusa, this is a bit nerve-racking, isn't it?

Azusa: Yeah. It's more of a proper ceremony than I expected.

Azusa: Although...

Azusa: Why are you guys sitting in the family section?

Pecora: Don't be so cold, Dear Sister!

Pecora: We're practically family by now, aren't we?

Azusa: No, we're definitely not.

Beelzebub: I hope you two will be even happier from now on!

Azusa: They haven't even entered yet.

Misjantie: Everyone, the pair celebrating today will now enter.

Misjantie: Please welcome them with your applause!

Rosalie: They look so dashing!

Misjantie: I am Misjantie, the pine spirit.

Misjantie: I'm here to see that these two continue to trust in each other always.

Misjantie: Wise men have said since ancient times that all those with life shall one day perish,

Misjantie: but that law only applies to physical bodies.

Misjantie: The soul is immortal.

Misjantie: I pray that the souls of these two will grow endlessly, forever and ever.

Misjantie: Place these rings on each other's fingers with that wish in your hearts.

Rosalie: What a wonderful ceremony!

Laika: Falfa and Shalsha both look so happy!

Flatorte: I'm impressed by Misjantie, too.

Halkara: I was a bit worried,

Halkara: but she really is a spirit who blesses weddings!

Azusa: Yeah. I'm so glad we did this.

Misjantie: Mother of the newlyweds, please come with me.

Misjantie: You have an important job to do!

Misjantie: Right this way.

Misjantie: Everyone, a round of applause for these two sisters in wedding dresses

Misjantie: and the mother who will continue to watch over them!

Beelzebub: They're just too precious!

Misjantie: Okay, Falfa, if you would.

Falfa: Dear Shalsha.

Falfa: When was it that you started to call me your big sister?

Falfa: It's been so long, I can't even remember.

Falfa: You've always had a tendency to get a bit too single-minded,

Falfa: to the point that you can't see anything else around you.

Falfa: Especially when you declared that you were going to k*ll Mama.

Falfa: That really surprised me.

Falfa: But if you hadn't come to attack Mama that day,

Falfa: we both might still be just living secretive lives in the forest today.

Falfa: I truly believe that you have brought me happiness.

Falfa: So let's always stay close, okay?

Falfa: From Falfa.

Shalsha: Dear Sister.

Shalsha: Sometimes I'm reminded that you're always looking out for me.

Shalsha: When I tried to k*ll Mother,

Shalsha: you reasoned with me, saying we could come up with a way to live happily.

Shalsha: Because of that, I was able to become Mother's daughter.

Shalsha: I wouldn't be who I am now if it hadn't been for you.

Shalsha: I don't know how to repay you,

Shalsha: but I ask that you continue to be there for me.

Shalsha: From Shalsha.

Shalsha: And now... for Mother.

Shalsha: I'm glad I got to be your daughter.

Shalsha: Thank you.

Shalsha: Please... always stay... healthy and happy.

Azusa: I should be thanking you!

Azusa: Thank you for coming into my life!

Misjantie: Those were beautiful speeches!

Falfa: Mama!

Shalsha: Mother.

Misjantie: Well done today, everyone!

Azusa: Thank you, Misjantie!

Azusa: It was a beautiful sister wedding because of you!

Falfa: I was really happy!

Shalsha: I was also deeply moved.

Misjantie: I'm just glad it made you all happy!

Sandra: Hey! What are you two doing?

Shalsha: This is a pine sapling.

Falfa: Misjantie gave it to us in commemoration!

Azusa: I hope it grows into a big, strong pine tree someday.

Shalsha: In just three days...

Falfa: ...it grew this big?

Azusa: This is seriously in the way now.

Sandra: What's with this pompous-looking tree?

Sandra: I won't get as many nutrients from the soil now!

Sandra: A newcomer shouldn't be so impudent!

Azusa: So plants can be "newcomers," too?

Falfa: Mama, what's that?

Azusa: Huh?

Misjantie: Oh, heya!

Azusa: Misjantie?! What are you doing here?!

Misjantie: Take a look at this!

Azusa: "Misjantie Temple"...

Azusa: "House in the Highlands Branch"?!

Misjantie: There's something mystical about a sapling growing in just three days,

Misjantie: like it's a miracle from the spirits, right?

Misjantie: So no one would find it strange if I built a temple here.

Azusa: I know you did something to make it grow that fast!

Misjantie: Sorry about that.

Misjantie: There's not much of a pine spirit following in Nanterre,

Misjantie: so I thought if I expanded out here, there might be more weddings.

Azusa: Well, it's in the way here! Could you build it somewhere else, please?!
Misjantie Temple Flatta Village Branch

Azusa: She put it here?

Days in the Highlands

Azusa/Falfa/Shalsha: Days in the Highlands!

Azusa: So this is the new Misjantie Temple, huh?

Natalie: Hot guys... Hot guys...

Misjantie: Praying isn't enough. Offerings are important, too.
Part

Falfa/Shalsha: Part !

Falfa: We found a really good slime!

Shalsha: It's fantastic.

Another Day

Shalsha: We found a slime that that seems to be evil incarnate.

Falfa: It's awesome!

Azusa: I can't tell the difference...
