The scenery starts to change when the dawn breaks, yeah
Nights when the snow falls, whoa, winter love, winter dream, they're the best
The snow falling tonight keeps piling up, little by little
I want our love to pile up, just like the snow
I want to see the sunrise. Let's watch it together
We should be able to see it easily from this room
I wonder what I should wish for when the dawn breaks, yeah
Underneath the sun's bright sphere, whoa, winter love winter dream, it's the best
Next, I'll eat some chocolate coins...
Episode Number 19 Lycoris Nielsen
Big sister! Big sister! Have you seen Lycoris?
What's wrong? You're in such a rush!
She's not here, anywhere, and her stuff is gone too.
Oh dear...
Have you seen her?
No...
I'll go look outside!
Sorry, Cleao... but I can't be with everyone anymore...
Farewell.
That one's better!
What?
I want this too!
You had them buy that one for you, right?!
No! No! That one! That one! You had them buy that one for you, right?!
No! No! That one! That one! You can't! I won't let you!
Trade it out with that one! You can't! I won't let you!
What's wrong, Lycoris?
Big sister, that's nice...
What? Oh, this?
That's nice! That's nice, big sister!
You want it?
Yep! I want it!
Nope.
Wah! Big sister, you lied again!
You said you'd give it to me, so give it! Give it!
You're making a fuss again!
I don't like you, big sister!
Mother will laugh at you, you know.
Big sister! Big sister!
If you stay wet, you'll catch a cold.
What're you doing?! We're going!
Oh, wait!
Okay? Make sure it's half each!
Big brother, you're the one who always cheats!
That was magnificent yesterday...
It's you!
That was the power sleeping inside of you.
You want to master your magic, correct?
I am...
If you come with me, I will make you a first rate sorcerer.
But I already have Master-
You should have already realized...
an excellent sorcerer does not necessarily make an excellent teacher of magics.
Even if it were so, if his manner of teaching does not suit you,
your magics will not improve even with 100 years of training.
Who in the world are you?
You are the one who will choose.
If you have the will, then this evening...
come to the graveyard at the end of town.
Hey! Huh?
I slept great. Why don't I eat breakfast and take a nap?
Master!
Oh! Bringing me breakfast?
Wrong. Please give me a lesson in magic.
Huh? What's this, all of a sudden?
You will, right?
And then, you have to show Father that you're teaching me right,
or he'll stop my tuition, you know!
You know... It's true that if you want your magic to improve,
there's nothing to do but practice.
There's no shortcut for this.
But every once in a while, when you come home to visit, forget about magic
and do something nice for your Dad or something.
But!
Besides that, I have important business today.
I'm going out for a bit, okay?
Master!
Something like that is...
Exiled?
That's right.
On the outside, it's made to look like the sorcerer, McGregor, disappeared,
but in reality, he was exiled from the Tower of Fang.
What is this?
The perennial youth magics that McGregor was researching...
This is his research log.
Something like that was left behind?
And where do you think it was found?
In the room of the missing elder, Shasutadeji.
She was the mother of that Flame Soul guy, right?
Yes. At the time, McGregor was researching under Shasutadeji,
who was a candidate for elder at the time.
If he had perfected the perennial youth magics,
she would have been acknowledged too, as his immediate superior,
and she would have been able to become an elder sooner...
But during an experiment, McGregor caused an accident,
and the perennial youth magics were banned at the Tower of Fang.
Accident? He was a very prudent man, wasn't he?
There was an accident, even in spite of that? It couldn't be!
That's right. Shasutadeji was impatient about this
and had McGregor force the experiment.
Then she pushed all responsibility for the failure onto McGregor.
Then, fearing the secret would be revealed,
she threw McGregor and his young daughters out of the Tower of Fang.
Father. Father!
Where are we going?
Let's travel for a while. All together, okay?
Okay!
You know Father wants to make it so that
there are no more people who die from illness in the world.
Because we've had enough of that kind of sadness with Mother, right?
A sorcerer can do that.
Magic is a power that was granted to us to save people's lives.
Big sister...
Hold on... Lycoris. Hold on!
What was that just now?
Hey, hey! Come on over! Have a look!
If you be quiet and sit still, I'll hit the bull's eye perfectly!
It's the Great Fortuneteller of Mazmaturia,
Lord Volcan Polkano's Big Fortunes!
Oh, I can see it! I can see it!
The sight of that hated super-evil sorcerer being swollen to death with the mumps!
All lies.
What are you doing, you guys?
It's fortune telling.
Big brother brought it up saying that we couldn't need capital, so...
Okay, okay, whatever. Big brother brought it up saying that we couldn't need capital, so...
Okay, okay, whatever.
Have you guys seen Lycoris?
Miss Lycoris?
No, we haven't seen her, but...
Is that so...
Okay! I shall foresee it for you!
You pay the money like you should!
Ha! Vol, Vol, can, can. Vol, can, can.
Volcancan. Vol can. Volcano, volcano, Volcan!
It's a spell. He says if he chants it he'll be able to see more. Volcancan. Vol can. Volcano, volcano, Volcan!
Leki! Volcancan. Vol can. Volcano, volcano, Volcan!
Volcancan!
Really! I can't keep up with them!
Where could Lycoris have gone?
Yeah, let's try hard and find her!
The wagon... it's late...
Please come soon...
Big sister...
Oh Lycoris, your hair is curly as usual?
Something like that doesn't just get better all of a sudden!
Close your eyes for a minute, okay?
Here.
You've wanted this hair band for a while, right?
Treasure it, okay?
Yep! Thank you, big sister...
That child just now...
This is...
Ruins in a place like this?
I did it! With this... with this, I'll...
Look! Sorcerous runes!
This is a ruin of the Heavenly Beings after all!
And it hasn't been discovered by anyone else yet to boot!
I found it! I'll research it!
Esperanza. Lycoris. The journey will soon be over.
Father will try hard to investigate this place, and when that is done,
we won't have to hide any more, and we can return to the Tower of Fang!
You won't have to suffer any more painful memories.
That... it couldn't be!
That green hair! Those green eyes!
Could that be a Heavenly Being?!
One of the Heavenly beings, said to be extinct, right in front of me?!
You don't have to be afraid, big sisters!
I'm Elkarena. Please play with me, okay?
Big sister...
Hold on...
Big sister!
Hold on... Lycoris...
Father.
I'm sorry, but it'll just be a little longer.
Please wait just a little longer, okay?
I didn't make it in time for your Mother,
but I won't let you two die.
If I am just able to complete my current research...
I'll be able to save you two.
Just a little longer. It'll just be a little longer!
Father. We can go home soon, right? To the Tower of Fang?
Yes, very soon.
I... want to go back to that flower garden...
there were a lot of yellow flowers blooming, and...
I want to make a hair band out of the flowers.
Big sister laughed, but I...
Lycoris!
The same as big sister...
I became just like big sister...
That's what I was thinking...
I wonder if I'll really be able to become a sorcerer?
Why did I want to be something like a sorcerer in the first place?
I followed in Master's footsteps because I wanted to be like him.
Wrong. That kind of thing isn't a real reason.
If I could become a sorcerer, then something would begin for me.
I had that feeling. That's why I went on the journey with Master.
But...
That Master, he only thinks of me as a convenient baggage hauler.
But...
Come out! Sword of Light!
Before I went on the journey,
I definitely wouldn't have been able to do anything like that.
An excellent sorcerer does not necessarily make an excellent teacher of magics.
Should I try asking that person?
You know... It's true that if you want your magic to improve,
there's nothing to do but practice.
There's no shortcut for this.
Wrong. It's not because of that person. I have improved!
My magic certainly has! That's why I have that kind of strength!
But why? When I haven't trained at all?
Then that was?! Is that so! That's how it was!
You came, after all, didn't you?
I've been waiting this whole time.
I knew for sure that you would come.
I will keep my promise. The power sleeping inside of you...
I will make it so that you can use it freely.
No... That is, I... To tell the truth,
I came intending to refuse that offer.
Why? Didn't you want to become a sorcerer?
Yes, that's true, but... In short,
"The excellent sorcerer was an excellent teacher."
That's how it is.
Is that so. What a shame.
Sorry. When you've been so kind to me...
It's all right.
I don't recall being especially kind to you...
But, you know, I have my own circumstances.
Why?
Why... The wagon... why won't it come for me?
Why did you come here, Cleao?
You know, this stop isn't used anymore.
It was moved inside of town some years back.
They say it's more convenient this way.
I... I'm a klutz after all, aren't I?
But because of that, I was able to catch up to you.
Let's go home.
What?!
Master!
Are you all right, Majic?!
Yes!
Majic!
You're the worst kind of man to intrude on our long awaited date.
Let go of Majic!
Really. The worst.
You!
Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt him.
I'd simply like to grant this child's wish.
Don't play me the fool!
Get out of my way!
I want to kiss you, but I can't bring myself to say it
Figure it out from my attitude, or I'll sulk
You like mini skirts, don't you?
I wonder if they would look good on me... I need courage
Sweet kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
You're like sweet honey
Love me, love me, love me, love me
Whenever we kiss, I end up forgiving you
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
I don't want to go home, I won't go home
Take me, take me, take me, take me
Take me away, okay, darling?
The sweet taste of you
Next Time
Hey, Cleao! Something terrible has happened!
Oh, wait a minute, I'm really busy now!
But it seems the drama is going to end badly, and these old memories,
Elkarena's temple, the fearful pact, the Valley of Thunder-
Be quiet, will you? I'm trying to decide
whether I should put bavarois or marshmallows in my new stew!
