When you were born, there was a big rainbow in the sky.
And all people know that rainbows have seven colors,
even though their languages and cultures might be different.
That's because rainbows are something significant, a part of the world's own will.
They're a sign from the gods.
Rainbows are what we see when the gods are looking down on us.
The Little Girl Begins Her New Life.
Why the long face?
It's about the magic beast hunt I went on the other day.
When you picked up Latina?
I need to go report to the client to confirm it's done.
Normally, I'd bring some parts as proof, but...
Oh, yeah. Those things do stink.
And if you come around here with any pieces of them, you're banned.
So I have to take the client to the scene of the hunt for confirmation instead.
And I can't drag Latina along.
I told you to leave her with us at times like that.
Yeah, but...
Dale?
Latina?! I'm down here!
Dale!
Sorry for leaving you alone.
Rita, this is bad. I can't leave Latina behind.
Stop being ridiculous. It'll be dangerous!
It'll be fine! I might abandon the client, but I'll keep Latina safe!
This guy might be in real trouble.
Dale?
Latina...
I just can't do it!
I could always pass on getting paid and choose Latina instead, right?
You'll be back before nightfall, won't you?
Not to mention, you're going to have other jobs where you're gone for longer periods.
If you're acting like this now, you'll never be able to look after her!
I...
Gone.
Latina...
Wait.
Here.
Do you understand?
It's okay.
That's sweet of her.
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Latina!
Dale... I'm okay.
Latina! I'm really sorry, okay?!
Latina... I'll be back as fast as possible, okay?
Be a good girl.
Would you get going already?
I'm heading out.
It's "have a safe trip," Latina.
Have a safe trip.
Dale, have a safe twip.
Okay! I'm heading out now!
Have a safe twip!
You're gonna be late!
It's okay.
He'll be back soon.
It's okay.
Hey, could you speed it up, Kenneth? I've got escort duty early today.
Here's your order.
It's first come, first served!
Clearing out magic beasts that have been messing with crops...
Nothing but crap jobs left, looks like.
Here's your change. Have a nice day.
You'll probably have to keep an eye out regularly, if you want to get a bigger job.
We post the listings from Akhdar's Message Board as soon as they go up.
Yeah, I know.
Guess I'm taking the day off. Kenneth, keep the drinks coming!
You don't have to yell, y'know.
Here you are.
You're hiring awfully young lately.
Talk about a waste of time!
I'm telling you... it's the truth! Last night, this chick...
You're out of your mind!
Look out!
Latina.
Hey, I think it's fine.
Your reward for doing a good job. Kenneth made it.
Rita, I'm off to buy some stock.
Have a safe trip.
Have a safe twip!
Kids really are great, Rita.
How does three sound to you?
We need to start with one, y'know? You're so silly.
A refill. Careful, now.
Everybody really loves you, huh?
Oh, Dale, that was fa—
Latina!
Latina, I'm home—
Latina...? Were you really that lonely?
Welcome hwome!
Welcome hwome.
You learned how to say that, too?
I'm back, Latina!
You did a great job looking after the place!
That's a tiny little girlfriend you've got there, Dale!
You've been smiling like a goon.
Shut it!
How was it? Did she behave?
This job from the other day...
She's almost too well-behaved.
And she's really smart, too.
Did something happen?
She helped at the pub?
Latina did that?
She understands her circumstances,
along with what she should be doing.
Take those mashed potatoes...
She helped make them.
She made these?
I see! You're a good girl, Latina!
I'll take seconds, please!
I'm gonna eat all the leftover mashed potatoes!
This is the last spot.
Done cleaning?
Yep, we're finished.
It's been only a week,
but she's learned quite a vocabulary.
Well, of course!
I've been teaching her every night with picture books.
What's this?
Doggy.
And what's this?
Kitty!
Very good!
And this?
Horsey!
And let me tell you... it's the cutest thing.
But kids sure do grow fast, huh?
She's a special case.
She doesn't just learn fast. She's really considerate,
even though she's so tiny.
They look like father and daughter.
Who would've thought freaking Kenneth would be any good with kids?
I underestimated him.
He said he was impressed with how quickly she gets something down
once she tries it a few times.
Her hand slipped! That's too dangerous!
Maybe I should...
But, no! She said she wanted to do it, and I have to respect that!
If it's bothering you that much, you can just not look.
But then I'll miss seeing her figure it out!
Yeah, yeah...
What is it?
I'm heading to the eastern district.
I forgot we were out of potatoes.
Potatoes?
No potatoes means no mashed potatoes.
No mashed potatoes...
I see! You're a good girl!
What's up?
Can I go, too?
Sure! You wanna come along?
Hey, Kenneth!
Dale? Can I?
I can't refuse when she looks at me like that!
I could go with her, but that'd be pretty immature.
And she'll have Kenneth with her.
They say if you love somebody, set them free!
O-Okay, Latina... You can go.
Yay!
Well, seems that she's not the only one growing up.
J-Just stay close to Kenneth, okay?
Okay. I'll stay close to him.
You having fun?
Come to think of it... You came this way to buy clothes with Dale, huh?
Doggy...
Kitty.
Horsey!
Kenneth?
Latina?
Latina's lost?!
I'm so sorry.
I thought she was right behind me the whole time.
But she must've wandered off.
Well, she's already lost, so no sense fretting about how it happened, but...
Man, I really should've learned some locating magic!
The part of me that thought it would be useless needs to apologize to Latina!
I'm sorry! I'm so, so sorry!
Maybe you should be looking for her instead?
Right! Exactly!
The border guards are all regulars here,
so anybody trying to get her out of town will be stopped at the gates.
Knowing her, she's likely to find her own way back here, but...
Let's see.
Anyone willing to help find her gets free drinks tonight!
Finding a lost kid?
Sounds harder than tussling with a phantasmal beast!
Jilvester?
My booze won't taste right without the shop's star attraction around.
We'll also provide a reward if you do manage to find her.
Either way, be sure to come back before nightfall. How's that?
Well, I wasn't doing anything better.
I like the idea of Dale owing me one, too.
Kenneth...
Hey.
Who're you? Never seen you around here before.
Never seen hair like that, either. You a noble's kid?
That's not it, Rudy. If she were, she'd have a fancier dress.
It's such a weird color. Not really gold or silver.
You from out of town or something?
Noisekk regna...?
What was that?
Stop it, Rudy. You're gonna make her cry.
I'm just talking to her!
Where are you from, then?
What're you running for?
That's pretty suspicious!
Eta! Donaf!
What'd she say?
Maybe she's from another country?
Eta, eta, donaf!
Those stupid...!
What do you think you're doing?!
Chloe?
Picking on a little girl like this seriously makes you the worst!
Yeowch!
Ease off, Chloe!
You're gonna get it!
You've got it wrong! It's not like that!
I won't let you get away with bullying the helpless.
It wasn't like that.
Then what was it like?
Maybe you could figure out how to yell at someone without attacking them first?
Ow!
It hurts? You okay?
It'll be fine. Just rub some spit on there.
You believe in that kind of thing, huh, Chloe?
My fault... Can't talk good...
I'm sorry.
It's our fault for scaring you.
Tufeel, nevua Latina, hoshu... (Light of the heavens, by my name, grant my wish...)
Ilujini namu gunireefu. (And let those who are hurt be healed.)
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Wow! She can use magic!
She's still so little, but can use magic! That's really amazing!
Who taught you?!
I've never seen magic before!
Amazing?
There's hardly anyone in town who can use it.
Maybe some of the people who work at the temple,
or for the big landowners or businesses...
And I guess, adventurers.
Adventurer... Dale!
What's wrong?
Latina... back to place... Don't know how.
Does that mean she's lost?
What place did you come from?
Place with... striped cat.
Striped cat?
I think I know the place.
There's a pub in the southern district, with a green banner.
I think the name was like that.
The one adventurers go to?
Lots of adventurers come!
Latina!
What other magic can you use?
Magic. Can you do something else?
Just healing, huh...
Even that is incredible!
Is this a good idea, though?
Mom said not to go to the southern district without an adult.
Oh, come on, Anthony!
We're helping someone out.
But they say that's where all the outsiders and roughnecks are.
Uh... We were... helping her.
Been looking for you, missy.
I see. They were helping you home?
So she knows him.
W-Well, we'll be going.
Hold it.
You came this far. You should see that she gets all the way home.
R-Right!
Kenneth. I'm sorry.
I'm just glad you're okay.
Share this, okay?
Thank you.
We're really grateful you brought Latina back.
It's okay.
You're supposed to help your friends!
I see. So Latina made some friends.
Well, I hope next time you can all relax and play together.
Yeah!
All right, time to go.
This time, I'll be seeing you kids home.
It can get rough around these parts at night.
Thank you!
I really appreciate this, Jilvester.
Don't mention it.
I'll see you soon, Latina!
Okay, Chloe!
I'm sorry I worried you.
It's fine.
Thank you for looking for me.
As long as you're okay, little miss, we're okay.
We're still missing someone, though.
Here he comes.
Rita! Did anything turn—
Latina!
L-Latina?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I didn't keep my promise! I'm sorry.
Dale... I was bad... Are you mad?
I'm not! I'm not mad! I was just worried!
It's okay to be mad. It's my fault.
No, it's fine! Don't worry about it now!
I was... scared!
Couldn't get home... So scared!
I understand. I understand. You don't have to cry.
Don't want to be alone again, Dale!
I want to stay with you!
That's right. Let's stay together, okay? I'm with you.
There, there...
Sky.
Stars.
Even your pronunciation's sounding better.
Maybe it's time to try something a little harder.
Okay, how about this?
Rainbow...
Rainbows are what we see when the gods are looking down on us.
When you were born, the gods were watching over you.
So you'll be okay. You should be able to find happiness.
You're allowed to be happy.
What's wrong, Latina?
Sorry, I guess you're tired.
You had a rough day, after all.
Fate will protect you.
So please... please be happy.
I'll be watching you, from now on... beyond the rainbow.
