Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles (2021) s02e04 Episode Script

Welcome Home

[LATIFA]
Big brother was reunited
with the love
from his past life.
His little sister was also
summoned from his old world.
They'll be here soon,
along with the teacher that
he cares so much about.
I know Rio said
I didn't have to tell anyone
about my past life.
But if these people
are important to him,
then they're important
to me, too.

[gasps]
[CELIA]
We're already here?
Yes.
It only took a second.
Teleportation is so awesome!
Yes, it is.
It's beautiful here.
Big brother!
[excited chuckle]
[LATIFA]
Welcome home!
[RIO]
I told you I'd be back soon.
Huh.
Whoa.
Look at her!
Beast people really exist here!
[whimpering]
Welcome to our home!
The Village
of the Spirit People.
[SARA]
Lady Aishia.
It's been some time.
It is an honor to see you
once again.
We're all honored.
[MASATO] Is Aishia like super
important to your friends,
or something?
High-level spirits
like her that can take on
a human form are considered
divine around here.
So, yeah, she is.
Maybe we've been
addressing her
a little too informally, huh?
-[chuckles]
-I'm sorry, your spirit-ness!
It's fine.
I'm in no need of formalities.
Nice to meet you!
I'm Celia Claire.
Rio told me all about you!
You're his little sister,
isn't that right?
Oh.
Yes!
[whimpering]
And, ma'am,
I apologize if this is rude,
but your tail is simply
exquisite!
If it's not too much trouble,
may I touch it?
What?
Uh, yeah, sure.
Gah, it's just so fluffy!
[AKI] I wonder
if she likes fluffy dogs?
[MASATO]
She definitely does.
I think that's enough.
[laughs]
This place just
might be her paradise!
What?
Did she
I'm pretty sure
she just spoke Japanese.
-Uh
-Hear that?
Yes!
Just like my big brother Rio.
I have many memories
from my past life in Japan!
So, you know what that means?
I nominate myself to be
your new Strahlian
language teacher!
Are you sure
about this, Latifa?
Yes!
It was my choice!
I already told Sara
and the others,
even the Eldest, too!

Plus, it's difficult to leave
your old life and world behind.
I know that all too well.

Don't forget, I will always
be your little sister!
And I want to be
able to help my big brother!
Really?
I see.
I'm glad you feel that way.
-Thank you, sis.
-[chuckles]

[SARA]
Greetings, friends!
We haven't been able
to introduce ourselves yet.
With Latifa, we're here
to help each of you
become accustomed to life
in our village.
Hello!
My name's Sara!
I'm Orphia.
And I'm Alma.
[SARA, ORPHIA, ALMA]
We're very pleased to meet you!
Uh, hi, my name is Aki Sendo,
and this is my brother.
Mm.
I'm Masato.
My name's Miharu Ayase.
It's a pleasure
to meet you all!
[LATIFA]
She's the one.
That's the person Rio
was in love with.
Spirit Chronicles 2
This is so relaxing!
[chuckles]
That tickles me!
Oh, yeah, this is a dream.
[whimpering]
Here we are!
Everyone's so excited
to welcome you to our home!
Now please, follow me this way.
[AKI]
Do you see the villagers?
The way they're watching.
Are people afraid of us?
Mm?
If I'd never seen your face,
I'd be scared too.
What was that?
I can tell
how close you two are.
-[AKI] Hardly!
-[MASATO] No way!
You're both even
completely in sync!
[all chuckle]
Don't worry.
The villagers aren't used
to seeing humans here.
That's probably why
they're keeping their distance.
Uh.
[gasps]

Hello, there.
[whimpering]
What's wrong?

[whispering]
This little one thinks
your school clothes
are strange.
[MIHARU]
What?
Are they strange?
Since we're gonna
meet the village elders,
I wanted to make sure
I was properly dressed
for the occasion.
You look just fine to me.
Yeah!
She still thinks they're cute.
Aww.
I'm glad to hear that!
By the way,
I think your ears are cute!
I wish mine looked like that!
[excited sigh]

-Oh!
-[gasps]
Sorry.
Hey, uh, I know
we just met and all,
but I'd really like to call you
Miharu, if that's okay.
[MIHARU]
Yes, of course!
And I'd like to call you
Latifa, if that's okay.
Uh, great!
I wanna know
everything about you,
if you're willing to chat
with me, that is.
I'd love that!
Hey, can I get
in on this conversation?
Yeah, me too!
-[LATIFA] [chuckles] Of course!
-[AKI] Thank you!
-[chuckles]
-[LATIFA] Let's all be friends!
[indistinct chatter]
[MASATO]
Oh, wow!
There's so much food!
[AKI]
Masato!
Please act normal,
we are guests at this party!
He's perfectly fine.
It's a welcome party,
there's no formalities here.
[MIHARU] I can't believe
they went through
all this trouble for us.
It's sweet, isn't it?
And also, we're surrounded
by the floofiest fluffers!
Celia, give it a rest.
I must admit, I've never seen
-this side of you before.
-[chuckles]
Lady Aishia,
the People of the Spirits
are honored to be
in your presence once again.
Overjoyed, even.
Young sproutlings
from another world, Miss Celia.
We welcome you
to the village of our people.
[DOMINIC]
Hmm.
These sprouts may be
from another world,
but they look just like
Strahlian humans to me!
[URSULA] I'm certain our guests
don't need to be
that close to your face.
They have just arrived
let's not scare them away!
[laughter]
[DRYAS] Aishia, Rio,
it has been too long.
-Yes.
-Lady Dryas.
-Wow!
-Whoa! Awesome!
[FEMALE VILLAGER 204A]
Oh, she's here!
[ALL]
Lady Dryas!
Raise your glass in celebration
of this divine meeting!
A toast!
[ALL]
A toast!
Now, let us drink and carouse!
Yeah!

That's so sweet!
Thank you, dear.
The other-worlders
are brimming
with delightful food.
It looks delicious.
-Oh, it is.
-What?
Hey, check this out!
They have inarizushi!
There you go again,
getting yourself all excited.
They do!
I'm the one who made them, too!
I thought they might be
nostalgic for you.
Have some, if you like!
[AKI]
I will!
Thank you for the treat!
[chomping]
They're perfect!
All right!
Good!

Haruto is so nice.
Everyone seems to get along
with him really well, too.
He's a good big brother.
Yes, he is!
And I'm proud to call him
my big brother!
You're lucky, Latifa.
What?
[AKI] I want to do whatever
I can to see my big brother.
I wonder
where he is right now.
I wanna go out and find him.
By the way,
I would love to learn
your language
as fast as possible!
I'll study really hard!
Mm.

[SARA]
This is our last stop!
While you're staying
in our village,
this will be your home!
-[gasps]
-[MASATO] It's huge!
How lovely!
Wonderful!
You haven't even seen
the whole place!
You guys can use
this room, too!
-Whoa!
-You're too kind!
After today, you must be
quite exhausted.
Feel free to use
the open-air bath.
And please relax
as long as you'd like!
You heard them!
An open-air bath?
All right!
Oh, yeah, this is a dream.
Uh-huh.
This is so relaxing!
[LATIFA]
That tickles me!
[all chuckle]
[MASATO]
Man.
I can't believe I lost to her.
This sucks.
Rock, paper.
Scissors!
I won!
We're up first, buddy!
If only I had asked you
to sub in for me.
You would have won
for sure, Haruto.
[chuckles]
You think so?
Want to try it and see?
Rock, paper.
Scissors!
[crickets chirp]
[water burbling]
You can see
the stars from here.
Well, look at that,
you're right!
I guess we're fortunate
we ended up somewhere
so wonderful, aren't we?
[AKI] I wonder,
will we ever make it home?
[MIHARU]
I'm sure we will, one day.
I've been meaning to ask you,
how the heck are you so strong?
Huh?
It doesn't matter
what happens,
you're always able
to tough it out.
Why is that?
I'm not as strong
as you think.
I just

There's something
important I've got to do.
And that's why
you're super hardcore?
[RIO]
Yes.
To succeed,
I have to get stronger.
I wanna be strong.
[RIO]
Huh?
I want to train!
That way I can protect
Miharu and my sister.
Sounds great.
[LATIFA]
Big brother!
The bath is free now!
-[RIO] Shall we go?
-Yeah!
[door creaks open]
[sighs]
Spirit Chronicles 2
[birds chirping]
[grunts]
Oh.
[panting]
[RIO]
Professor! Good morning.
Yeah, and to you!
[RIO]
You're up early.
Well
we're in the heart
of a beautiful forest,
with air so fresh
I can finally take a breath.
Thanks to that, I woke up
early and refreshed.
Ah, I see.
By the way.
I'm really sorry.
Huh?
[RIO]
I didn't mean to make you wait.
Thanks to Latifa, Miss Sara,
and the rest,
Miharu and the kids
are well taken care of.
They have settled in
much more quickly
than I anticipated.
Now that they're safe,
let's deliver a letter
to your parents.
[gasps]
That's very sweet.
Butare you doing okay?
How so?
What's wrong?
It's just, you're working
really hard right now.
I know how much of yourself
you're putting into getting
Miharu and the others
back to their home,
and I want to support
your endeavor, truly.
But
What about you, Rio?
W-What about me?
[CELIA] I remember you saying
that you'd been able
to erect a tombstone
for your parents.
But I know
there was more than that.
See, it's like,
when you came to rescue me
from my marriage,
it took time away
from something serious
and much more important to you.
I don't want you
to hurt yourself for me.
I appreciate you
worrying about me.
You're not wrong.
I still have something
incredibly serious
I need to do.
But please
don't ever think
you're in the way of that.
I wouldn't change what I did.

More than anything in my life,
I wanted to save you.
Rio.
[RIO] I feel the same about
sending them home.
So, after we have
delivered your letter,
I will travel to Rodania
to do some research,
and gather information
on the Heroes.
Well, that's a relief.
Thank you for telling me
all of that.
And if you ever need
my help with anything at all,
please don't hesitate
to ask me!
It would be silly not to.
Your friend here happens
to be the most powerful mage
in the Kingdom of Beltrum,
that's a fact!
You're so incredible.
You don't really think that.
I'm being honest, here!
[chuckles]
No matter
what happens with all this.
I'll be on your side forever.

[birds chirping]
Big Brother, Big Sis Celia,
and Big Sis Aishia.
Be safe, all right?
-Sure!
-Yeah, we will.
Yes.
[LATIFA]
You can leave the rest to me!
Thanks, sis.
There's no need to worry
about the village
while you're gone.
And also, it seems like
Miss Miharu has got
a gift for you.
I do.
I made some obento for you.
Please feel free to eat it,
if you'd like.
Thank you, how generous!
It must have been
hard work waking up
early to make this.
Oh, please.
It was no trouble at all!
Not compared to all
you do for us.
And you're about to go
do even more,
traveling back to the Strahl
region just for us.
I want to help more,
but, this is the only thing
I had to offer.
Please don't let it bother you.
I'm doing all of this
because I want to help you.
[MIHARU]
I'm so grateful you do.
I hope you know, one day,
I promise to repay
this enormous debt.
[RIO] This bento is more
than enough payback.
We'll savor every bite.
I just hope
I made it to your liking.
[RIO]
Don't worry!
If you haven't noticed,
I love your cooking, Miharu.
Uh-oh.
I'm so glad.
Miharu worked really
hard to make that for you.
She's putting
all her energy into it.
Just like a perfect wife!
While you're off
delivering her letter.
I'm gonna train super hard.
I promise!
Uh.
Everyone, it's time.
All right, let's go,
Professor Celia, Aishia.
-Have a good trip, now!
-Have a good trip, now!
[MIHARU] No matter
what happens out there,
I hope they stay safe.
Now, before Big Brother
comes back from his adventure.
We should get you
two completely fluent
in Strahlian and surprise him,
okay?
Are you ready to study?
-[MASATO] Yeah!
-[MIHARU] Yes!
Beltrum kingdom, rodania, capital
of marquis rodan's lands.
[LISELOTTE]
If it pleases you.
We would like for your Hero,
Sir Hiroaki Sakata,
to be an esteemed guest
at our kingdom's soiree.

That is why I have come today,
to deliver His Royal Majesty's
invitation.
And, of course,
that invitation extends to you,
Princess Flora, Duke Huguenot,
and Lady Rohanna.
I would love to accept
immediately,
but I'm afraid the decision
rests with our guest
Sir Hiroaki, himself.
You will have plenty of time
to decide before the party.
I've no intention
of pressuring anyone to accept.
Please take as long
as you'd like to decide.
[SAKATA] Everything about
this girl is cute,
down to her voice!
Flora and Rohanna
are pretty high-level,
but, this new noble girl
from a different kingdom?
Her looks just hit different.
Seriously, this is where
the star character shows up?
Hey, um,
is everything okay, sir?
Oh.
Yeah.
This whole party is
to introduce your hero, right?
I guess I don't have
a good excuse not to go.
You'll be there,
right, Liselotte?
I intend to be, yes.
[SAKATA]
Then it's decided.
Consider it confirmed.

I'm certain His Majesty
will be overjoyed at this news!
My work here is done,
for the moment!
I look forward
to seeing you again, Hero.
Won't be long before it's time!
[birds chirping]
Haruto,
we've crossed into Cleia.
Thanks.
[RIO] Isn't this where
you grew up, Professor Celia?
Yes.
And if you look down below.
You can see the house
where I was born and raised.
Fortunately, there's a secret
passage in the garden
that connects
to the main house,
and only the family knows
of its existence.
We should be able to use
it to deliver the letter.
[fire crackles]
Do you think
we can make it from here?
Yes.
Look there.
[RIO] I'm afraid the guards
might spot us.
Hmm?
All right, we'll use spirit
arts to conceal ourselves.
I'll perform
the spirit arts, you two go.
Celia, stay close.

[RIO]
You ready?
I would open it
as fast as you can.
We want to get in before
the guards return.
[CELIA]
Leave it to me.
Right there!
[RIO]
I can help.
[CELIA]
Thank you.
[rumbling]
[door creaks open]
I think we've been detected.
-[CELIA] We need to hurry.
-Right.
[ROLAND]
Now, who could that be?
I can't imagine an outsider
found their way in.
[RIO]
Let's go.
[ROLAND] Could it be
my darling daughter?
Celia, is that you?
[CELIA]
Loving father.
Dearest mother.
It's Celia.
I am sorry to have been
the cause of so much
worry in your lives.
I am safe,
living a peaceful life
with people whom I trust.
I hope this puts you at ease.
I know how important
it was for me to marry
into the Arbor family.
And, of course,
I understand that
I've gravely disappointed you
by abandoning our matrimony.
But I wanted you to know
I was okay.
And one day,
I will return to see you again.
When I do,
I will explain everything.
Until then, promise me
you'll take good care
of yourselves,
so that we may meet again.

With gratitude
for your unwavering love
and affection.
Your darling daughter,
Celia Claire.

Celia!
Come back, please!
Celia!
[MALE GUARD 204A]
Lord Roland!
What's the matter, sir?
Oh.
It's nothing.
[ROLAND] You haven't
disappointed us, dear.
My sweet girl.
I promise we'll see
each other again.
[RIO] Are you sure you don't
want to see them?
[CELIA] Yes.
It's for the best, for now.
I understand.
I needed this.
Thanks.
Next time we come back here,
you'll see your parents
in person.
I'm certain of it.
Hm.
Yes.
I would like that.
[CELIA]
We're off to Rodania, right?
[RIO]
Yes.
[ARIA]
Lady Liselotte,
we are about
to arrive in Amande.
Thank you!
I'm so glad.
-[rumbling]
-[clatter]

What was that?
I intend to find out
immediately.
Natalie!
Cosette!
Lady Liselotte!
Chloe!
What is happening?
[CHLOE]
We're in danger!
A black dragon
was spotted nearby!
-What?
-[CHLOE] It's true!
We have to move!
Our ship is being forced
to make an emergency landing!

[roaring]
