Magic, gather!

One, two, three,
four, five, six,
seven, eight, and then nine,
and that's ten!
Oh!
Incredible, Shion!
That's a new record!
Yeah, but I couldn't
have done it
without all your help.
You don't seem
very happy about it, though.
I am happy, I swear.
I mean, I can already
release a lot more magic
than I could before.
Unfortunately, that doesn't
mean much on its own.
Just glowing isn't good enough?
It's not nothing, but still.
Hm.
It feels like it's warmer
than last time.
Maybe because
I'm used to controlling it.
So, it's warm
and shiny and that's all.
[laughing]
-Ah?
-It's still magic!
And I like it.
Thanks for saying that.
But I want to try
doing something
that really feels
magical, you know?
Like casting a fireball
or a thunderbolt!
It seems that you need
a certain ratio
of emotion, intent, and desire
-in order to release magic.
-Shion?
I think if I can figure out
how that connects
to natural phenomena, I might
-have a real breakthrough.
-'Kay, that's enough.
[SHION] There's
plenty more to consider.
Like fairies and monsters.
Fairies seem to be regarded
as some kind of creature
or natural resource.
There are even people
who procure and supply them.
The fairy sellers.
Buying and selling things
that look like people.
I can see why Father
reacted that way.
-[SHION] As for monsters.
-[MARIE] Shion!
[MARIE] [grunts]
Hey!
-Lost in thought, sorry.
-[thuds]
[TOGETHER]
Huh? Ah?
Gather all the weapons you can.
[GROUP]
Yes, My Lord!
[wind howling]
-We heard a noise.
-Marie. Shion.
Um, has something happened?
[wind howling]
It has.
A goblin sighting.
Goblins, like
like real-live monsters?
That's right.
We received a report
that a couple of them
were spotted in the area.
[GAWAIN] It will be dangerous,
but they must be dealt with.
[SHION]
Perfect timing!
If I study the goblins,
maybe I can learn
something about magic!
But
they all look so serious.
Are goblins not just low-tier
enemies in this world?
While we're hunting them,
villagers who can't fight
will take shelter here.
Make sure no one goes outside.
Of course, I understand.
It's all right.
Father and the others
will get rid
of the nasty goblins.
Um, I know.
Plus, I'll be here
to protect you the whole time.
[whimpering]
[door opening]
We'll head for their lair,
you three stay safe.
♪
[sighing]
Don't fret.
It seems we will only be facing
two of the creatures.
We'll be fine.
Wait, Father!
Shion, I'm sorry,
but there's no time.
It will have to wait
until later.
I'll make it quick.
Do goblins have the brains
and physical ability
to reach the second floor
from outside?
I don't believe they do.
They aren't
intelligent monsters,
and the exterior
is fairly smooth,
so climbing would be difficult.
In that case, we'll take
everyone and hide upstairs.
We can use furniture to block
the door on the ground floor
so they can't get in.
That way, we'll be safe
even if they show up here.
Indeed.
Do exactly as you said.
When we return,
we'll give you a signal
you'll be able to hear
from upstairs.
Hm, got it.

I'm counting on you, Shion.

She looks pale.
It's clear
she's lost too much blood.
I have to stop

Um, I am.
I'll help however
I can, young lord.
Great, do I have
any more volunteers?
I know there are sewing tools
somewhere in my
mother's bedroom

please get some strong liquor
and as much clean cloth
as you can find!

goblin corpse into the hall!

Yes, but her wounds aren't
as deep as I was afraid
they would be.
[SHION] What if the goblin
had venom in its claws?
Stay positive!
This is her only hope!
We should get started.
Umstart what?
Her sutures.
Stitching the wound.
Wait, what?
Why would we want to do that?
[gasps]
[SHION]
That's a curveball.
Stitching wounds
isn't standard practice yet?
I know it sounds scary,
but it's too dangerous
to leave the wounds open.
They would close naturally,
and by sewing them up,
we can help the process along.
Please! Trust me!
I just want to save my mother!
I know it's strange,
but you have to listen
to what I say!
That would wound her
even further!
I would never hurt my lady,
especially not in this state!
You can hurt her to save her
or be afraid of the unknown
and leave her to die!
I know you say
it's for the best, but I can't!

Please save my mother!

[all chuckle]
[SHION] Father and his men
found the goblin lair
in the woods nearby.
They were able
to defeat two of them.
While there,
they saw signs that
more than those two goblins had
been calling the woods home,
so, they hurried back
to the village.
♪
A few men were injured
in the hunt,
but there were no fatalities.
When they got back,
peace returned
to the village once more.
[MALE DOCTOR 3A]
Good, it's healing nicely.
The wounds are fairly deep,
but luckily for your mother,
they didn't reach
any of her organs or bone.
Whoever sewed them up
did a great job.
I suppose there
was an expert in medicine
among your ranks at the time?
-[gasps]
-Uh, something like that.
-Mm?
-Right.
Well, you were lucky.
[MALE DOCTOR 3A]
For now, make sure she stays
tucked up in bed
and gets plenty to eat.
That sounds nice,
thank you very much, Doctor.
[MARIE] Um.
-[MARIE] Mother?
-Uh?
I'm sorry.
I did this to you.
I should've stayed back.
[crying]
Huh?
What happened
wasn't your fault, Marie.
You were so brave you put
your life on the line
to protect the ones you love.
More than anything, you
should be proud of yourself.
Ah?
[crying]
[chuckles]
The villagers all told me
how you saved the day,
and everything
they said lined up
with your version
of the events.
I was also informed
about the treatment
you performed on your mother.
So, where did you get
the knowledge to stitch wounds?
I've never taught you anything
about medicine before.
[SHION] I used to be
a 30-year-old Japanese man.
Too bad I can't say that.
I'm not exactly sure
where I got from it either.
It's just in my head.
I have another question.
How did a young boy
defeat a goblin?
And what were those
scorch marks?
[groaning]
Hm?
-Did you kill it with magic?
-Huh?
How did you know, Father?
You've always been
very logical for your age.
Far more than
any child should be.
But long ago,
you mentioned something
that struck me as strange.
One more thing,
does magic exist?
I can explain,
but will you believe me?
Not sure.
I'll try.
I'd like to be able
to trust my kids.
Well, Shion is amazing!
He's been researching magic
and learning all that he can!
Your brother's been doing what?
He carries himself
like a little adult.
I wouldn't have guessed his
interests were so outlandish!
[GAWAIN]
Listen to me.
Never speak of this to anyone.
If the wrong people hear,
dreadful things
could befall our family.
Are you saying
I'll be persecuted
just because I'm different?
[GAWAIN]
Perhaps.
In this world, there are
things you mustn't do.
Things that will never
be accepted.
♪
Shion.
Forgive me, but you must cease
your research into magic.
It is too risky for a child.
Father.
-[MARIE] He can't give up now!
-Hm?
[MARIE] You have no idea
how hard he's been
working on this!
It's only because
of Shion's powers
that Mother and I are safe!
I do not want to see him hurt.
Magic could be dangerous.
You aren't even sure,
so let him try! Please!
Once we are sure,
it'll be much too late!
[gasps]
[GAWAIN]
It killed a goblin.
And it could be
capable of more.
Of course, it's dangerous!
[MARIE]
But
I had never heard the word
"magic" until you said it.
♪
Thanks for sharing
this with me.
I'm sorry, Father,
but I'm not giving up magic!
Shion, try to understand!
I do.
I know you only
want to protect me,
and I know
it could be dangerous,
and I'm sure you're right.
-[GAWAIN] Then quit.
-I can't.
If I give up my research,
I'll be miserable
for my whole life.
To you, it's just another
thing to be afraid of.
To me, it's my greatest
dream come true!
That dream is the dream
of a child!
There are far more
realistic goals out there.
When you grow up,
your wishes will change.
No, they won't, I promise you.
[gasps]
If my presence here
ever becomes a risk
or causes problems for anybody,
you can disown me at any time.
[MARIE] Huh, what are you
talking about, Brother?
I'm serious about this.
You can't leave us!
♪
Your research truly means
that much to you?
Yes.
There's a chance society
will reject you, son.
You may be ridiculed
and cast out by your peers.
That's a risk
you're willing to take?
Yes, it is.
♪
[sighs]
Very well, then.
You are free
to continue your work.
[both gasping]
But, from this moment forward,
you will report
all your findings to me.
I'll stop you if you start
toying with anything
too dangerous.
And, that's it?
You really don't mind?
What choice do I have?
When a child
is this passionate,
how can a parent
possibly tell them to stop?
[sighs]
♪
[whimpering]
Hold your head high, son!
You have found what you
want to do and you're doing it!
I hope you continue
to work very hard
and you make your father proud.

to help with your pursuits.
That is a parent's job,

Um, I am.
I'll help however
I can, young lord.
Great, do I have
any more volunteers?
I know there are sewing tools
somewhere in my
mother's bedroom
and I need you to find them.
[SHION] In addition,
please get some strong liquor
and as much clean cloth
as you can find!
As for the rest of you,
I know it's unpleasant,
but please move the
goblin corpse into the hall!
Time is running out!
To save her
we must work quickly!

I don't think

Uh, sure.
Well, what now?
You lead the way, Shion.

My, how terrible!

Yes, but her wounds aren't
as deep as I was afraid
they would be.
[SHION] What if the goblin
had venom in its claws?
Stay positive!
This is her only hope!
We should get started.
Umstart what?
Her sutures.
Stitching the wound.
Wait, what?
Why would we want to do that?
[gasps]
[SHION]
That's a curveball.
Stitching wounds
isn't standard practice yet?
I know it sounds scary,
but it's too dangerous
to leave the wounds open.
They would close naturally,
and by sewing them up,
we can help the process along.
Please! Trust me!
I just want to save my mother!
I know it's strange,
but you have to listen
to what I say!
That would wound her
even further!
I would never hurt my lady,
especially not in this state!
You can hurt her to save her
or be afraid of the unknown
and leave her to die!
I know you say
it's for the best, but I can't!
[SHION] I beg you!
Please save my mother!

Fine.
If that's what you want,
I'll do it.

Thank you, Lia.
You saved her!

Oh, please, it was only
a couple of stitches.

She's safe, promise.

Hey, don't cry.
Everything's okay now.

Are you there?
Say something!

[SHION] Father and his men
found the goblin lair
in the woods nearby.
They were able
to defeat two of them.
While there,
they saw signs that
more than those two goblins had
been calling the woods home,
so, they hurried back
to the village.
♪
A few men were injured
in the hunt,
but there were no fatalities.
When they got back,
peace returned
to the village once more.
[MALE DOCTOR 3A]
Good, it's healing nicely.
The wounds are fairly deep,
but luckily for your mother,
they didn't reach
any of her organs or bone.
Whoever sewed them up
did a great job.
I suppose there
was an expert in medicine
among your ranks at the time?
-[gasps]
-Uh, something like that.
-Mm?
-Right.
Well, you were lucky.
[MALE DOCTOR 3A]
For now, make sure she stays
tucked up in bed
and gets plenty to eat.
That sounds nice,
thank you very much, Doctor.
[MARIE] Um.
-[MARIE] Mother?
-Uh?
I'm sorry.
I did this to you.
I should've stayed back.
[crying]
Huh?
What happened
wasn't your fault, Marie.
You were so brave you put
your life on the line
to protect the ones you love.
More than anything, you
should be proud of yourself.
Ah?
[crying]
[chuckles]
The villagers all told me
how you saved the day,
and everything
they said lined up
with your version
of the events.
I was also informed
about the treatment
you performed on your mother.
So, where did you get
the knowledge to stitch wounds?
I've never taught you anything
about medicine before.
[SHION] I used to be
a 30-year-old Japanese man.
Too bad I can't say that.
I'm not exactly sure
where I got from it either.
It's just in my head.
I have another question.
How did a young boy
defeat a goblin?
And what were those
scorch marks?
[groaning]
Hm?
-Did you kill it with magic?
-Huh?
How did you know, Father?
You've always been
very logical for your age.
Far more than
any child should be.
But long ago,
you mentioned something
that struck me as strange.
One more thing,
does magic exist?
I can explain,
but will you believe me?
Not sure.
I'll try.
I'd like to be able
to trust my kids.
Well, Shion is amazing!
He's been researching magic
and learning all that he can!
Your brother's been doing what?
He carries himself
like a little adult.
I wouldn't have guessed his
interests were so outlandish!
[GAWAIN]
Listen to me.
Never speak of this to anyone.
If the wrong people hear,
dreadful things
could befall our family.
Are you saying
I'll be persecuted
just because I'm different?
[GAWAIN]
Perhaps.
In this world, there are
things you mustn't do.
Things that will never
be accepted.
♪
Shion.
Forgive me, but you must cease
your research into magic.
It is too risky for a child.
Father.
-[MARIE] He can't give up now!
-Hm?
[MARIE] You have no idea
how hard he's been
working on this!
It's only because
of Shion's powers
that Mother and I are safe!
I do not want to see him hurt.
Magic could be dangerous.
You aren't even sure,
so let him try! Please!
Once we are sure,
it'll be much too late!
[gasps]
[GAWAIN]
It killed a goblin.
And it could be
capable of more.
Of course, it's dangerous!
[MARIE]
But
I had never heard the word
"magic" until you said it.
♪
Thanks for sharing
this with me.
I'm sorry, Father,
but I'm not giving up magic!
Shion, try to understand!
I do.
I know you only
want to protect me,
and I know
it could be dangerous,
and I'm sure you're right.
-[GAWAIN] Then quit.
-I can't.
If I give up my research,
I'll be miserable
for my whole life.
To you, it's just another
thing to be afraid of.
To me, it's my greatest
dream come true!
That dream is the dream
of a child!
There are far more
realistic goals out there.
When you grow up,
your wishes will change.
No, they won't, I promise you.

If my presence here
ever becomes a risk
or causes problems for anybody,
you can disown me at any time.
[MARIE] Huh, what are you
talking about, Brother?
I'm serious about this.
You can't leave us!

Your research truly means
that much to you?
Yes.
There's a chance society
will reject you, son.

Yes, it is.

Very well, then.
