[growls]
Good, a hobgoblin.
It's the perfect test subject.
♪
[wind gusting]
If I use air magic to create
pockets of high
and low pressure
cover them with membranes
of magical energy
and amplify their strength.
I get a mighty gale!

[groans]
[sighs]
My new wind spell Blow
did the job nicely!
Big success!
Though, it does take
a little too long
to activate for my taste.
Eh, it'll be plenty useful
in certain situations.
It's not like Blow was meant
to be an attack anyway.
[grunts]
-[MARIE] Shion!
-[Shion gasps]
I see that you've
finished off the goblins.
Yup.
Looks like you guys
are done, too.
[SHION] It's been two years
since our first monster hunt.
I'm now ten years old.
Rose and Marie are both twelve.
They've grown up so much.
Sometimes, they look like
little adults.
Come here, Shion!
I slew 20 goblins
by myself today!
-I earned this!
-Yeah.
That's seriously amazing!

EPISODE 7: DAILY LIFE
BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN
[indistinct chatter]
[SHION]
In the last couple of years
I've gotten better at gauging
the magical energy
of the people around me.
Now, whenever I look at someone
I can tell roughly how much
energy they possess.
However
So lost in thought today,
Shion.
Oh, am I?
[SHION]
I haven't come across anyone
who has as much magical energy
as Rose or Marie.
♪
[MARIE]
We keep fighting but there are
more monsters than ever.
The Adventurers' Guild
is always flooded
with suppression requests.
It does strike me as odd that
there have been so many goblins
close to town lately.
I'd understand it more
if they were kobolds.
Agreed.
Also
it feels like the homeless
population has doubled.
Hey, guys!
Let's visit our pal!
[GRAST] Hey!
I'm glad you kids dropped by!
Feel free to browse.
It's been a slow day
around here.
I was thinking
of closing up early.
While I'm here, do you want
to smelt down
-some iron lightning?
-Nah.
I'm worn out.
After all
I finished these.
All yours.
[gasps] But I only just
requested this set!
They're perfect.
Thanks so much, Mister Grast!
No prob. You wear
through 'em fast these days.
Well,
I suppose it just goes to show
how much you're growing up
on me, little man.
Both in your magic
and as an adventurer, too.
[chuckles softly]
How is all that been going?
Even without Gawain and me
it sounds like you three are
doing great work out there.
-[Shion chuckles]
-[Marie chuckles]
It shouldn't be much longer
until we graduate
to silver rank!
[whistles]
Now, that's impressive stuff.
I would bet good money
that you'll be
the youngest adventurers
to hit silver rank
in the history of the guild!
That would be very exciting
but I imagine
you and Lord Gawain
-beat us to that honor.
-Nah.
Gawain and I
have been hunting monsters
since we could hold weapons
but we weren't
in a fancy guild back then.
These days,
there's an adventurer's guild
everywhere you look
but they haven't always
been so common.
[ROSE]
How interesting.
-Hey, I've got a question.
-[Shion gasps]
Sure, ask away.
You're already super strong
and have unlocked
all different types of magic
but you're just
gonna get stronger.
-So, what then?
-What then?
I'll keep on learning
and mastering my craft
like I am now.
Easy.
Sure, but what if you
grow lots more
and then learn
everything there is?
I mean.
[MARIE]
In such a short time,
your magic has
given us so much.
And it's the reason
we're still alive.
We never could've defeated
the goblin without it.
Magic has already changed
so many people's lives
and I think you're the only one
in the whole world
who could've discovered it.
Marie, I
[MARIE] I'm not trying
to pressure you or anything!
You're super special
and can do whatever you want.
But based on all the good
your magic has done so far
I have this feeling
that you could use it
for something spectacular!
We just haven't
thought of it yet!
Do you have any ideas?
Unseen powers influence
everything around them
either for good or for ill.
At least, that's what
Father told me.
Discoveries aren't easy.
I know.
But still
Uh
[creaking]
There's something more.
I can feel it deep down
in my bones!
[sighs]
[wind blowing]
[Gawain grunts]
[grunts]
[yells]
♪
Here comes Flare!
[grunts]
A fair attempt.
[grunts]
Now Bolt!
[electricity crackling]
[Gawain screams]
-[Gawain grunts]
-Jump!
What?
[gasps]
Fall!
[rumbling]
[Gawain yelps]
[SHION] [chuckles]
Nice try, but I win this time.
[grunts] That new spell
of yours caught me off balance.
[GAWAIN]
Explain your trickery!
[Shion groans]
[chuckles]
That was Fall.
I sent a stream
of air magic underground
which created a pocket right
underneath your feet
that acted as a pitfall.
Goodness.
Thinking up and casting spells
is exhausting enough
when I'm not running
around like a madman.
I really need to work
on my endurance.
Perhaps, but you've come
a long way.
Since you've started,
both the way you move
and your magical prowess
have markedly improved.
I saw you working
on your Blow spell earlier
and was very impressed
by your latest improvements!
[giggles]
Thanks, Father!
Though it's certainly getting
better, it still doesn't always
go in the direction
I want it to.
But once I master it.
I'll be able to fly high!
Fly high?
You mean up with the birds?
That is quite
a lofty goal, son.
Just you wait.
Sorry to interrupt
father-son bonding.
But it's my turn to train
and I've been waiting
on you guys forever!
-[Gawain grunts]
-[Marie grunts]
♪
[Marie screams]
[SHION] Marie's incredible!
She's so fast with a blade.
Incredible
is an understatement!
[Marie screams]
-[Marie screams]
-[Shion gasps]
You beat me again, Father!
I'm getting sick
of being the loser
especially, 'cause Shion
gets to be the winner!
You shouldn't be
so hard on yourself.
I have no doubt
you'll be able to beat me soon.
I really hope you're right.
Thank you for training with me!
[SHION]
How's her progress?
[GAWAIN]
Impressive to say the least.
At just twelve years old,
she already has the skills
-of a top-class swordsman.
-[Marie grunts]
That said
I'm not sure what's a result
of training and what's innate.
Her strength rivals
that of an adult
and her precision
is otherworldly.
She's still a child,
but she's clearly exceptional.
Interesting.
Could it have to do with magic?
I wonder if it's making
her stronger.
It's possible,
but it's not something
we need to worry about
at this point.
I don't think you should
let it trouble you, Shion.
Your sister is doing great,
that much is obvious.
Right.
[grunts]
[wind gusting]
[birds chirping]
[leaves rustling]
[MARIE]
Rose!
[both giggle]
Hey, there you are!
Sorry to drag you two
away from your training.
We're happy to help!
Your hands are full,
so, as your friends
-we'll lend you ours!
-I appreciate it.
We're a little understaffed.
We're at your disposal!
If you give a us a job,
we promise to get it done!
Well, I was hoping you could
help us eliminate some pests.
They look like this.
Not too bad.
-Sure!
-[Marie gasps]
♪
[Shion chuckles]
[SHION] Her personality
is the same as ever.
Maybe Father was right.
There really is nothing
to worry about.
♪
[ROSE] We've worked hard
enough, let's call it a day.
Ugh!
I'm exhausted!
And, uh
[soft chuckle]
Now that I have practice,
I'll catch more next year.
Good.
I'll let everyone know
they can count
on your grub grabbing.
You can count me in
for the next round, too.
[MARIE] [grunts]
If we turn it
into a competition to see
who can wrangle the most worms
there's no way you can beat me!
[thunder rumbling]
[all gasp]
The skies were clear
just a second ago.
What's that?
[all gasp]
You can wait this out
at my house!
[SHION] Right.
Thanks!
You okay?
[gasps]
-[SHION] Sister!
-Uh?
Marie?
You've gotta wake up!
Come on!
Please, Marie,
I need you to wake up! Please!
Oh, no!
Marie? Marie?
Wake up!
[rain splattering]
♪
[SHION]
Her body is so cold.
I don't understand
what could've happened.
Um, her breathing,
is it still steady?
-[gasps]
-[LIA] Just through here.
-[Gawain panting]
-Hurry.
-Come quick!
-[GAWAIN] Shion. Let me see.
[EMMA]
My darling girl!
-Marie.
-My baby, what's the matter?
Marie.
Please say something.
[EMMA]
Look.
She's awake!
What happened?
Are you okay?
Talk to me!
It's your mother.
Can you see me?
Please, dear, say anything
at all! Please!
♪
What's wrong with her?
[rain splattering]
You know, um, in the towns
lethargy sickness
has been going around.
Lethargy?
I've heard of that
illness before
they say that
it's sweeping through Istria.
Right.
Everyone was talking about it
when I went shopping
the other day.
People drop to the ground like
puppets whose strings were cut.
They stop moving entirely.
They're conscious
but don't respond.
Those afflicted
do nothing but stare.
Since they're so still,
they look lazy
which explains the name.
Active people become lethargic.
Marie has it?
That's awful!
What now?
Surely there's a cure, right?
I only heard a bit,
but I don't think there is one.
Nobody has ever
recovered from it.
It's a mysterious disease,
and the cause is unknown.
-So
-Please, no.
My darling.
My sweet Marie!
[sobbing]
We can't despair.
There's still time!
We need a doctor.
Now, please,
change her into dry clothes.
Right away.
I'll take her to a doctor.
Istria is my best bet.
Shion, you shall return home
with your mother at once.
Someone should go
with you, though! Let me!
-[EMMA] Shion!
-What are you talking about?
We are going to be
traveling with a sick girl
in the most dangerous hour
of the night!
And there will certainly be
-monsters out. -I know
that you're strong, Father!
But still,
the monsters could attack!
If you go alone,
you'll have to fight them off
at the same time you're trying
to defend Marie!
Your point?
I may be a child, but
that doesn't mean there's
nothing I can do to help you!
[Gawain grunts]
[Shion grunts]
[rain splattering]
[thunder rumbling]
[horse galloping]
Shion! Keep a close eye
on your sister!
Hmm.
I will, sir!
[SHION] We're getting you
to Istria no matter what.
Don't worry.
[gasps]
Father! Look up!
Is that thing an aurora?
What are you seeing?
The lightning?
No, the big, red light
in the sky!
There's nothing up there, son!
Only this atrocious storm!
It's so bright!
Just look!
♪
If you can't see it,
then maybe it's
-[wolf monsters growling]
-[Shion gasps]
[thunder rumbling]
Behind us!
[growling]
[GAWAIN] It's a whole pack
of Bloody Wolves!
They have a taste
for human blood
so getting rid of them
won't be easy.
Just keep us moving forward!
I'll take care of them!
Shion!
Please, be careful!
Flare and Bolt are both
out of the question
because of the rain.
That just leaves me
Blow and Aqua.
No problem.
[growling]
♪
[SHION]
I'll use Aqua to gather rain.
Form it into a bullet.
Then use Blow to send it off!
Aqua Bullet!
Perfect!
Ha!
♪
The attack works fine,
but there are too many!
[grunts]
Watch out!
What now?
Think, Shion!
[wind gusting]
[galloping]
Huh?
They're running away.
What happened?
[gasps]
There's something.
-But what?
-Can you describe it?
No, it's too far!
We should get away
while we can!
Right!
♪
[gasps]
[groaning]
[gasps]
What is that thing?
Father!
What thing?
Where is it?
Right there!
I can't see it!
Hold on.
Do you think
there are creatures
only people with magic can see?
Maybe they operate
the same as magical energy!
Could such a beast exist?
If you can see it
right now, Shion.
I suppose it must.
It's here!
[screams]
It is? Where?
I see.
So,
Father can't hear it either.
♪
It's fast and stubborn.
'Course it didn't work,
it doesn't have
a physical form!

Is this it?
I just got started,
am I about to die again?

My energy purified it?!
Are you all right, son?
Tell me what's going on!
It's on the move!
Where'd it go?

What the?

It's up there!
Jump!
-Come here!

You're okay, but you
almost weren't so lucky.
I had to get up there
to finish the beast off.
I'm sorry.
No need to apologize.
You might've scared me,
but you saved me, too.
-Thank you.
-Of course!
I've seen many
a humanoid monster
but none like that.
I'm still in a state of shock.
So, you could see it?
Yes, for a moment
when it got close.
I wonder why that is.
We'll think about it later.
For now, I need you
to stay alert
and keep your eyes
peeled for more.
Right!
[carriage rumbling]
[rain splattering]
[GAWAIN] Doctor Alphonse!
It's Marie!
[both gasp]
[MAN 7A]
You have to look at my son!
It's like he's frozen in place!
[WOMAN 7A]
Please save my daughter
she's just a child!
[BOY 7A] Open your eyes, Mom.
Please!
No way, think they all
have the same thing?
So many cases in one night.
Um! Please, sir!
I need you
to look at my sister!
You'll be called on soon.
You need to wait your turn.
We have to wait?
We risked our lives
to get here in time.
There's nothing we can do.
Everyone is in the same boat.
[grunts]
♪
Yes, it does appear
to be lethargy sickness.
It's just as we thought.
What's the treatment?
There must be something.
We unfortunately haven't made
any developments on that front.
[gasps]
No, that's not right!
Until progress is made,
the best you can do
is watch over her
and keep her body safe.
I'm sorry.
[giggles]
That can't be.
It can't!
-[both gasp]
-Shion?
A doctor's job
is to save their patients.
So, do your job
and save my big sister!
Forgive me.
I'm begging you!
Please, Doctor.
I can't lose her.
Shion.
It's not fair.
She can't go.
Now that I have more practice,
I'll catch more next year.
If we make it a competition
of who can wrangle
the most worms
there's no way you can beat me!
We just made a promise.
We're gonna go help Rose
in the fields again next year.
She was excited about it.
She was smiling so big.
-Like she always is.
-Shion.
[Shion sobs]
My sister's the best person
in the world!
She doesn't
deserve this at all!
It's not fair.
It shouldn't be her.
[sobbing]
It shouldn't be Marie!
