Secrets of the Silent Witch (2025) s01e12 Episode Script
Monica, Furyou ni Naru
Lady Monica, let's go
to the festival in Corlapton together.
Corlapton?
It's a city to the east of here.
They have what's called
the Bell-Ringing Festival
-to give the dead a send-off.
-The dead?
There's a legend in Corlapton.
"On the festival night, the underworld
watchman sees the humans' jolly time
and sneaks off to join the crowd.
The souls of the dead slip back
into this world
through a crack left open
in the gate to the underworld."
"When the festival ends,
the souls of the dead and the underworld
watchman return to their world."
Wearing costumes and ringing the bell
is how we give them a send-off.
I have to be somewhere after this…
You have an important mission, and I…
Next time there's a festival in Kerbeck,
I want to go with you.
Yes, yes!
And when you come,
I'll make sure that you have a great time!
What do you think?
Nice, it suits you.
So, where are you going again?
Well…
I've come to escort you.
Shall we make our way
to the Starseer Witch's estate?
My, there's no need to be so formal.
Please, make yourself at home.
Are you fond of wine?
THE STARSEER WITCH
MARY HARVEY
I've got an exquisite bottle
from The Kingdom of Farfolia.
I… I'm okay.
Are you sure?
Then how about some fruit juice instead?
I want to deepen the friendship
among the Seven Sages.
I've been wanting to
get to know you better, Monica.
And you know, we are the only girls
among the Seven Sages.
Mary Harvey, the Starseer Witch,
is presumably the oldest of
the Seven Sages.
She is the kingdom's greatest prophetess.
Just as Monica can cast unchanted spells
and Louis excels at casting barriers.
Mary is esteemed
for her precision in star reading.
Her unparalleled abilities have
earned her the deep trust of the throne,
and she leads the Seven Sages council.
I'm sorry I barely come to your councils.
Don't you worry about that.
It's mostly just Louis and Emanuel
arguing about nothing,
while Raul has himself some vegetables
and Bradford enjoys a nap.
As for Ray,
he attends much less frequently than you.
Sir Louis, do you come here often?
No. Actually, I came today because
The Starseer Witch had a favor for me.
Just a little seal undoing.
We're performing a magecraft offering
for a magicule release at the festival.
I know.
Monica, why don't you come watch?
I…
Magecraft offerings are
one of the Seven Sages' duties.
I'm sure you'll benefit from observing.
What about you, Sir Louis?
I won't be at the offering,
but you may take Ryn.
Her flight speeds up travel, after all.
How helpful.
Louis, if you were 15 years younger,
I would've given you a peck on the cheek.
Corlapton…
This is the festival
Lady Isabelle mentioned.
Before I forget,
thank you for helping my students
calculate observation records.
It was nothing.
And I enjoyed working through the numbers
out in the mountain hut.
There was one star chart
that went back ten years.
Whose was it?
It's Second Prince Felix Arc Ridill's.
For about ten years now,
Felix's fate is the only one
I haven't been able to predict.
Well, I'm going to freshen up my look.
Louis, please make yourself at home.
It's a little concerning that
the Second Prince's fate
-can't be predicted.
-Yes.
As for the assassin that was apprehended
during the chess tournament,
I will use whatever means necessary
to make him spill the name of
the one behind the attack.
There's something about that assassin
that bothers me.
Well, did you fully enjoy
the lavish festivities?
Please don't repeat that
in front of my wife.
Yes, Sir Louis.
Then I will report to Lady Rosalie that
you indulged yourself in drinks poured
by attractive young men.
I see I must retrain you,
starting from how to speak properly,
you worthless maid.
But first, there's work to be done.
Take the two of them to Corlapton,
and then stay with the Silent Witch.
Think of it as a little break.
Besides, an ancient magical item will be
used in today's magecraft offering.
Aren't you into that sort of thing?
An ancient magic item!
It's an accessory named
the Starweaving Mira.
It can absorb the mana in the ground.
As a matter of fact,
I came here to undo its seal.
The task itself shouldn't have been
a hassle, but…
Have you heard that ancient magic items
have a mind of their own?
Yes. They have personalities, don't they?
Yes. And if the Starweaving Mira's
owner is a man, it will kill him.
You can consider it
a cursed ancient magic item.
It spoke to me the entire time
I was trying to undo the seal.
And I must say,
its personality is rather intense.
Yes, it really took a toll on my nerves.
An ancient magic item that can
tire out even the thick-skinned Sir Louis?
Now I'm intrigued.
Your personality also gives me a headache,
though for a different reason.
I need some peace of mind.
I'm heading straight home.
I can't wait to see my Rosalie.
Damn it, why won't they sell?
If only Moses hadn't gotten caught,
then I wouldn't be out here
on the streets.
I had a feeling he was up to no good
when he asked me to replicate
the Abbott Company crest.
But I never thought he had plans
to infiltrate Serendia Academy.
Now that I think about it,
I forgot to draw the tail on the bull.
Anyways, I gotta scrape up money fast.
I know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna steal…
I'll take a look at the ancient magic item
used in today's magecraft offering.
I'm gonna make loads of replicas
and sell them all off!
If they look cheap enough,
then it's not a crime.
They can't arrest me!
I've gotta pat myself on the back
for this one!
Say, how much mana
can Starweaving Mira absorb?
When the stars are in the right positions,
maybe two to three cities' worth.
That much?
I'll let you in on a secret.
You can use the mana Mira absorbs
for offensive spells.
Should you be telling me
something this important?
You're one of the Seven Sages.
I don't see any problem.
Shall we?
Yes.
What?
His… His… His…
Something the matter?
I think I saw a friend over there.
I'll go say hello!
I can't do it…
There's no way I can find
the prince in this crowd…
You okay there, shrimp?
You hurt?
Where does it hurt?
No, I'm fine.
I'm not hurt or anything.
Well, that's good.
You lost or something?
Not quite.
I'm looking for someone.
All right then, I'll help you out.
I can't in good conscience
leave a girl your age in tears.
Name's Bartholomeus.
In The Kingdom of Ridill,
I think it's said like "Bartholomew."
Ain't it cool?
There's a festival like this
in my hometown too.
A bell to send off the dead, eh?
It's a good tradition.
The bell's sound is beautiful
but also somber.
How many people get to have
a proper goodbye with their loved ones?
Father…
Sorry, I lost focus for a second.
We're looking for your friend, right?
Don't get lost, shrimp.
Okay.
Hello. So this is where you were.
This the guy you were looking for?
Thank you for taking care of her.
Yeah. No problem.
Don't lose him again, shrimp.
I was hoping to guard him
without being noticed.
So, why are you in Corlapton?
Take a guess.
You look like you are here
to enjoy the festival.
Correct.
Why is the prince out here all by himself,
without a single bodyguard?
What about you? Who'd you come with?
I'm by myself.
I came alone.
You traveled all the way out here
to have fun by yourself?
There's a secret
I've been keeping from you.
I'm a troublemaker.
So, yes…
I'm a troublemaker,
and I was enjoying the nightlife alone.
You?
A troublemaker?
Then we're the same.
We're both troublemakers.
Yes we are.
Then I've got an idea.
Why don't we enjoy the nightlife together?
Yes, please!
Then tonight, you shall call me Ike.
Sir Ike…
No Sir, just Ike.
You and I are both troublemakers,
remember?
I'm feelin' good
after helping someone in trouble.
Not a single soul to be seen…
They say do good, and good will come.
It's an ancient magic item, all right.
Yeah, this fires up my imagination
as a craftsman.
Are you clucking like a chicken?
But where are we?
This is Madam Cassandra's estate.
Young Lord!
Good evening, Doris.
I have business with Madam today.
Really?
Madam!
We have a good one here to see you,
for once!
OWNER OF THE ESTATE
MADAM CASSANDRA
My, Young Lord, has it been a while.
I was hoping you can find her
an outfit today.
Is that what this visit is about?
Well then, leave it to me.
These are from
the nobles you've met at my shop.
Thank you as always, Madam.
They're all men who are dissatisfied
with Duke Clockford, aren't they?
I won't get into your business,
but will this be my last time seeing you?
Please put this towards throwing a feast
befitting of the night of
the Bell-Ringing Festival.
Madam!
Madam!
41, 43, 47…
See, I really thought you came
to sell her off.
-Sorry, I didn't explain properly.
-…53, 59, 61, 67,
71, 73, 79…
A paw.
You back to our world?
Now, you're all ready
to take part in the festivities.
This outfit…
Is this a horse's ear?
You're a little squirrel.
A squirrel indeed.
Definitely a squirrel.
The night is short.
Let's enjoy tonight to the fullest.
Okay.
Don't let go.
I don't want you getting lost.
I'll do my best.
Hey, Mister.
What do ya say to picking out
a pretty bracelet for your little miss?
Yes, I'll have a look.
Ya won't find accessories like mine
anywhere else.
They have the protective charm placed
by a famous Mage.
Are they magic items?
Somethin' like that.
None of them seem effective.
But this one is enchanted
with a simple defense barrier.
Good eye, Miss.
This brooch was crafted by none other than
one of the Seven Mages, the Gem Mage.
The Gem Mage Emanuel Darwin,
I've heard of him.
He is a genius at creating magic items.
You know your stuff.
Could I take a look?
It looks like Lord Cyril's brooch.
I think his brooch had
the Gem Mage's name inscribed on it too.
Yes, I like it. I'll take it.
Thanks for your patronage.
Is there anything you want from here?
No, I'm…
You were wearing makeup on the day of
the chess tournament.
Could I get an accessory that would
match your makeover from that day?
Do you remember how we first met?
Yes, we were in the old garden.
You had spilled the nuts.
It made me so happy
when you picked up the nuts for me.
I cherished them
like they were little treasures.
I can't put it into words very well…
But these trinkets may not be
as special as the tree nuts from that day.
I see.
I recently took up interest in fashion,
so I'm not very experienced with it.
And I'm not ready
to start collecting accessories just yet.
That's right.
Accessories are for fashion pros.
I'm nowhere near that level.
Okay. Well,
we'll just say that's how it is.
These are traditional confectionery
for the Bell-Ringing Festival.
It's meant to be
shared between two people.
Here you go.
Will you let me pay for this, at least?
You got some on your face.
Do people make you nervous?
Here I go,
ruining it when someone's nice to me.
Then, how about this?
You can think of me like a ghost.
After all, it's Bell-Ringing Festival.
A night where even the dead are visiting.
Your friend, Ike, is a ghost.
He doesn't really exist,
so he can't ever hurt you.
I'm a bit thirsty.
I'll go get some fruit juice.
Is this a "Don't lay a hand
on my woman" situation?
Ryn!
No, it's nothing like that.
That's the prince.
Is that so?
Then tonight,
you are Prince Felix's bodyguard.
Yes.
Understood.
Are you the Starseer Witch's familiar?
What does it say?
Someone stole the Starweaving Mira!
What?
to the festival in Corlapton together.
Corlapton?
It's a city to the east of here.
They have what's called
the Bell-Ringing Festival
