I'LL TRANSCRIBE ONLY THE PARTS I NEED, AND AFTER THAT, YOU CAN BORROW IT. WHAT DO YOU THINK, IS THAT FINE? I'LL DO IT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND GIVE IT TO YOU. ...DO AS YOU LIKE, TAKE YOUR TIME. EVEN IF I GO BACK HOME EARLY ANYWAY, THERE'S NO ONE TO WELCOME ME. HUH? WHAT DID YOU SAY? IT'S NOTHING, JUST FOCUS ON YOUR OWN ASSIGNMENT. AS EXPECTED, HE HAS MORE WOUNDS THAN LAST TIME. EVEN THOUGH HIS ATTIRE IS ELEGANT... IT SEEMS HE HASN'T BEEN PROPERLY CARED FOR. LOOKING AT THE HANDWRITING... NO MATTER HOW I LOOK AT IT, HE SEEMS LIKE A CHILD FROM A NOBLE FAMILY. WHY DOES HE LOOK SO LONELY? ...ACTUALLY, I'M KIND OF SIMILAR. MY FAMILY IS STEADILY DECLINING, AND NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY... MY PARENTS ONLY LOOK AT MY OLDER BROTHER. FATHER ALWAYS SAID THAT I WILL GET MARRIED ANYWAY. THEY PROBABLY DON'T EVEN CARE THAT I WENT OUT TODAY. ...TRY LEARNING SWORDSMANSHIP. LATELY, IT SEEMS TO BE A TREND FOR YOUNG LADIES TO LEARN IT TOO. I THINK YOU'D BE BETTER AT IT THAN YOUR BROTHER. AHAHA, REALLY? THANKS, BUT I'M FINE. MY BROTHER BARELY STARTED LEARNING IT, AFTER ALL. WISHING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS IS JUST GREED. BY THE WAY, HOW OLD ARE YOU? YOU SEEM TO BE AROUND MY YOUNGER BROTHER'S AGE. WHAT? HOW OLD ARE YOU THEN? THIRTEEN. AND MY NAME IS... IRENE MUBER. WILL YOU TELL ME YOUR NAME TOO? ...MY NAME... ...JUST PHIL. THERE'S NO NEED FOR YOU TO KNOW MORE THAN THAT. WE'RE ONLY GOING TO SEE EACH OTHER TODAY ANYWAY. ALRIGHT, PHIL. I'LL COPY IT DOWN QUICKLY SO I WON'T BE LATE, SO JUST WAIT A LITTLE BIT. AT THE SAME TIME, CRESCENT FAMILY MANSION LOOK AT THIS, ADRIAN. THE PLAGUE IS ALREADY SPREADING BEYOND THE BORDER. IT'S BECAUSE THE IMPERIAL FAMILY HID IT QUIETLY JUST TO SAVE THEIR OWN FACE. IF LEFT LIKE THIS, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WILL DIE. WE CAN NO LONGER JUST STAND BY AND WATCH. FATHER...! DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE SAYING YOU'LL DEFY THE IMPERIAL DECREE? OUR FAMILY HAS SERVED THE IMPERIAL FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS! IF CAUGHT, OUR LIVES WILL BE IN DANGER, SO... IT DOESN'T MATTER. I HAVE FINISHED TALKING WITH THE INFORMATION BROKERS OPERATING IN THE SHADOWS. I WILL HAND OVER DOCUMENTS CONTAINING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PLAGUE AND ITS CURE TO THEM. BECAUSE WE HAVE TO INFORM THE PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT. BUT...! IT'S TOO DANGEROUS! IF THE IMPERIAL FAMILY CATCHES WIND OF THIS, OUR FAMILY IS FINISHED! ADRIAN. THERE IS NO SECRET MORE IMPORTANT THAN A HUMAN LIFE. AS A PHYSICIAN, I CANNOT STAND BY AND IGNORE THIS SIN. THE SUN SETS FASTER THAN I THOUGHT. HEY, THANKS FOR WAITING FOR ME TO TRANSCRIBE TODAY. I HOPE YOU DO WELL ON YOUR EXAM TOO. ...WHATEVER. IT'S DARK, SO I'LL CALL A CARRIAGE FOR YOU. HUH? NO, IT'S OKAY! IT ONLY TAKES 15 MINUTES ON FOOT FROM HERE TO MY VILLAGE. I LEARNED THAT SENDING A LADY ALONE ON A DANGEROUS ROAD AT NIGHT IS A DISGRACE. SO, TAKE THE CARRIAGE. ...IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE THE ONE WHO NEEDS A COMPANION MORE? WHAT? NO MATTER HOW I LOOK AT IT, YOU LOOK AROUND THE SAME AGE AS MY YOUNGER BROTHER... HA! ARE YOU IGNORING ME RIGHT NOW? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? AND MY AGE IS...! SURE, SURE. THANK YOU. BUT SINCE IT'S NEARBY, I'M REALLY FINE. YOU BE CAREFUL ON THE NIGHT ROAD YOURSELF, PHIL. ...HMPH, DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR EXAM! LET ME SEE YOU AT THE LIBRARY AGAIN NEXT TIME! ALRIGHT, THEN SHALL I GET GOING TOO? The lights are out IT WASN'T SUCH A SCARY ROAD DURING THE DAY... IT'S A MAIN ROAD IF I GO JUST A BIT FURTHER, IT'LL BE FINE... OOPS. WHAT IS A PRECIOUS YOUNG LADY CARRYING IN HER ARMS SO TIGHTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT? WHAT IS THAT ENVELOPE? IF IT'S SOMETHING PRECIOUS, WE'LL CARRY IT FOR YOU. ...I-I'M PASSING THROUGH. HEY, IT'D BE COLD-HEARTED IF YOU JUST PASSED BY LIKE THAT. LET'S SEE, WHAT IS THIS? AH...! GIVE IT BACK! IT'S MY ASSIGNMENT! ASSIGNMENT? NOBLE YOUNG LADIES SURE HAVE A LOT OF FREE TIME~ IF YOU WANT IT BACK, YOU SHOULD AT LEAST PAY US A DAILY WAGE, RIGHT? AAH! LET GO OF ME! I TOLD YOU TO LET GO! YOUNG LADY, DON'T BE SO ON GUARD.
