The Familiar of Zero (2006–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Tsubasa no himitsu - full transcript

With the Summer holiday started, many of the students and their Familiars have gone home for vacation.

Oh, we're finally back!

Hey! Don't touch me in weird places!

Don't worry about it.
It's flat, anyway.

In any case, it's really quiet.

We're in the summer
holiday right now!

Lots of people went home for
the holidays, or traveled abroad.

I see, summer vacation.

Oh, Louise.

I haven't seen you around, so I
thought you'd already gone home.

I was just running errands for a bit.

You guys are going home?

Oh! Darling!

I finally got the chance
to see you again,

only to be torn apart
yet again for a while!

Please forgive me for all of this!

I'm going to go visit
Tabitha's home now.

Tabitha's?

See you, darling!
Have a wonderful vacation!

A wonderful vacation...

What wonderful vacation?!

A history of the couple's romance
that starts from the first kiss

You, the one who cast magic on
this destiny, suddenly appeared

The sky where two moons
never fade away

That's an impossibility, right?

This is the first time I've
felt anything like this

I'm feeling more and more
at ease with this place

Even if you trip and
become depressed

I will always hold you
tight with a squeeze

The story where we met that day
stays hot with a sweet kiss

See, you can cast magic, and
the wishes will surely come true

A history of the couple's romance
that starts from the first kiss

You, the one who cast magic on
this destiny, suddenly appeared

Tabitha's Secret

How to put it...

Serene?

Hey, Tabitha.

We're taking the effort
to go see your folks,

so why can't you look
a bit happier about it?

I didn't know you were
studying abroad like me.

Why did you decide to study
in another country?

In my case, it was something more
like doing away with their troubles.

I caused all sorts of trouble,

and I was forced to quit
my previous school.

They started saying
that their daughter

loitering around wasn't good
for their image,

so they tried to force me
into a marriage.

To an old man, no less. An old man!

I mean, you have got to be kidding!

Hm? What is it?

Lake Lagdorian up ahead
is overflowing.

Use the detour up on
the high road, please.

See you.

Was there heavy rain or something?

And we're so close to Galia, too.

When you're done with the laundry,
clean my room!

If you aren't quick about it,
you're not getting fed!

Yeah, yeah...

He's always wooing anyone and
everyone, with no standards!

Why should I be getting
upset about such a thing?

Oh, , it irritates me!

Louise yelling, unreasonable
amounts of labor...

Oh, but for some reason, all
of this really puts me at ease.

What are you saying?
It's all a misunderstanding.

I've heard that line too many times!

Do you understand, Guiche?

I don't really feel
anything at all for you.

I'm only taking the time to see you
because you were begging so much.

Montmorency...

In any case, calm down
and hear what I have to say.

Just you watch... if that's the case...

Didn't Louise go home
for the holidays?

She's here.

Please, wait!

Don't follow me!

Wait!

Montmorency!

Listen to what I have
to say, Montmorency!

Wait for me, Montmorency!

They don't change at all, either.

I got it!

I had put it here with plans
of throwing it out.

Then can I have it?

Yeah, take it without hesitation,
Our Sword!

Can't you do something
about that nickname

and these spectacular gestures?

Heave! Heave! And...

I guess this should be a good place.

If you had a noble help you,

you could have brought it here
in no time with magic.

It's all right. This is
something personal.

What are you going to do
with such a giant pot?

Just wait till night.

He's right, we couldn't have
gotten across down there.

There are houses sunken
underwater, too.

How much further is
your house, Tabitha?

Almost there.

That was...

Just as I thought!

That emblem... It's the one
for the Galia royal family.

Tabitha, are you actually

from the royal family of Galia?

Just as I thought!

Welcome back. We have
been waiting for you,

Lady Charlotte.

First, I'd like to say
hello to your father.

Wait here.

Sure.

Excuse me.

My name is Peruculan, and I am
the butler for the Orleans family.

I am a member of the von Zerbst
family from Germania.

I hope to be under your good care.

I had not imagined
that Mistress Charlotte

would bring a friend back with her.

So Charlotte is that girl's real name?

Who is it?

I have just returned, Mother.

Stand back! How impolite!

Our mistress calls herself Tabitha?

Why did she come studying abroad,
using a fake name?

She never says anything
about herself.

Studying in another country was
ordered by her uncle, the King.

Uncle? Just as I thought, she's
a member of the royal family.

Lady Charlotte's father,
the late Count Orleans,

was the younger brother
of the current king.

I see. So her father has
already passed away.

He was murdered.

If the mistress trusts her heart
with you, I am sure it is all right.

I will trust you, Lady Zerbst,
in telling you this.

You're someone from the
royal family, aren't you?!

Are you going to kill my Charlotte,
just like you did my husband?!

Count Orleans, despite being the
second son of the royal family,

was more adept as a mage than
his older brother Lord Joseph.

Furthermore, he was quite full
of charisma and talent.

Five years ago, when the
previous king passed away,

the palace was split in two over

which son was more worthy
of taking the throne.

A battle for the heir, huh?

In the midst of that filthy battle,

Count Orleans was
murdered by conspiracy.

Those that put Lord Joseph
to the throne,

to rid themselves of
hassles in the future,

next went after the daughter...

One evening, our Lady and our
Mistress were invited to a banquet.

It was laced with water-magic
poison that induces insanity.

That became public knowledge,

and the noble responsible
for the act was convicted.

The Lady sacrificed herself
to save our mistress.

Ever since... our Lady...

How horrible...

To think that this girl might
someday go after the throne...

We just want to live in peace.

Get back!

Nobody...

Nobody can take her away from me!

This girl... Charlotte
is my dear daughter.

I will come see you again.

Mother...

Tabitha is the name of
the doll that the Lady

once gave our mistress as a present.

From that day, the active
and bright Lady Charlotte

behaved as if she was someone else.

As if she had sealed words and
expressions all within herself.

Since the incident with the Lady,

nobody has dared try to take
the life of the mistress.

In return, the Palace used the
mistress' high magical powers

as reason to force her
into difficult tasks,

of which many said the chances
for survival were slim.

However, our mistress
was able to complete

each and every unjust mission.

In order to protect herself
and the Lady,

putting her own life at risk.

And the reason why she
started studying in Tristein?

The Palace, seeing that things
weren't going according to plan,

gave her only the title of Chevalier,
though her merits

proved her worthy of being given
ample property to govern,

and sent her to a foreign country,
as if to do away with trouble.

Doing away with troubles?

Ah, you're late, Tabitha.

I want to rid myself of the sweat
from this long journey.

It's done.

I've come back to life!

Man, in the end, Japanese people
need a good bathtub.

Japanese people?

Oh? What is that?

Siesta?

Mr. Saito?

Um, uh, this is...

Oh, I did it again...

I'm going to get scolded.

Oh, my, my clothes are soaked...

Are you all right?

Yes.

What are you doing in there?

Oh, this? This is how you
take baths in my country,

though this is a very
old-fashioned way of doing so.

Is it a bath?

I found it being thrown out,
so I made it myself.

I see. How wonderful!

I'd like to try it!

Then, care to join me?

Just kidding.

Is it all right?

Wait, this won't be good, Siesta!

Nobody will be here, and
it's dark, so it's all right.

Um, Miss Siesta, you know,
I am a guy...

I know that you wouldn't do
anything strange, Mr. Saito.

It's kinda complicated to
be told that so easily...

Hi. Been waiting?

I'm sorry I called you out here.

But the moon was just so beautiful.

I can dry my clothes out too,
so it was just perfect.

Really?

Please don't be so shy.

You're making me embarrassed too.

Well... You can look over here...

It's dark so you can't really see.

Your country's baths
feel nice, Mr. Saito.

You know how the baths here
are all steam, right?

I just have to have it like this.

What kind of place is
your country, Mr. Saito?

My country?

Yes, please let me hear about it.

Let's see... There's only one moon,
and there are no mages,

but you can do most things
with electricity.

And...

Mr. Saito!

One moon and no mages?

You're making fun of me because
I'm from a rural village, aren't you?!

I'm not making fun of you!

Before you,

even those two moons would
run away from embarrassment.

Montmorency the Perfume...

I'm sure you say the same thing
to all the girls.

Wait, let's have a toast first.

Let's.

Hm?

What?

Isn't that Louise?

What is she doing this late at night?

Who knows?

Sheesh! How late does that dog
intend on strolling around for?

It's like a story that my
great-grandfather once told.

Your great-grandfather?

He passed away before I was born.

But I hear he always said that he
was from a different world far away,

and that he fell from the sky.

A different world? From the sky?

Siesta, that's...

I have to get back soon.

That's right...

Thank you very much.

It was very fun, and
the bath was lovely.

That's great.

Um, but...

What was most lovely about it

might be you.

Good night!

Am I a bit flushed?

What is that?

A secret tryst, all naked?!

He's a familiar, only a familiar!

There are limits as to
how lewd one can be!

In the first place, why do I
have to sneak about like this?!

Oh, ! It irritates me!

My Montmorency...

Don't be impatient. The toast is first.

In front of you, I even forget
how to be a gentleman.

A naked woman is flying in the skies!

Where? Where, where?

Where? Where, where, where?
Where is she?

Hey, where, where?

If it isn't Louise.

What have you been doing?

Leave me alone. And I'll take this!

She drank it!

Thanks!

Oh, no...

I'm back!

You were out rather late.

I took a proper bath for
the first time in a while,

so I took a good long soak.

Oh, it felt nice.

I'll just bet that it felt nice.

What do you mean?

You think you can fool your master?

What are you talking...

Hey, what's wrong?
Your face is all red!

My face doesn't matter!

Hey, Louise, are you all right?

Saito... Saito...

What?

Saito!

Idiot, idiot, idiot!
Saito, you're an idiot!

Why did you leave me alone
to be with a girl like that?!

Saito, you idiot! Idiot!

What kind of a joke is this?

A joke? You're so cruel.

I love you so much!

Coming!

Oh no, just as I thought...

Just as you thought?

It is an order from the King.

Order?

How soon will you start it?

Tomorrow evening.

I wish you the best of luck.

Then, you came home for this?

Wait here.

I'm sorry. I heard everything
from that guy.

So I'm going to go with you.

Danger...

That's why I'm coming with you.

I accepted the challenge lightly,
but this is one big affair.

Mother...

No, don't drink that, Mother!

My fever will warm it up
and melt it away.

So rest assured, and sleep tight,

Charlotte.

As if I were under a real magic spell

A bright smile is burnt onto my heart

But each time I see you, I give you
a pointy, cold shoulder

Why do I act mean towards the one
that I think about the most?

My true feelings,
the shards of loneliness

In the deepest part of my heart,
I'm calling for you

For the day to start from zero

I... You know, I...

I love you so, so, so much, Saito!

But why are you making that face?

Sheesh! Idiot, idiot, idiot!
Saito, you're an idiot!
