Lonesome Dragoness - Chapter 5: To Turn the Tables - Episode 4
While the other members take Mr. Bertrand's suggestion to rest, Anne keeps trying to decode the spellbook. She's eventually able to create a spell to close the transworld gate.
In cooperation with Mr. Bertrand and Ms. Miranda, Anne and the others attempt to decipher the spellbook that the students used to open the gate.
Ms. Miranda: Uh oh, I can't understand a lick of this. Well, I give up!
Mr. Bertrand: Ms. Miranda, please avoid saying that in front of the students.
Ms. Miranda: Huh? But, but, but...
Mr. Bertrand: If you're going to make excuses, that will be reflected on next term's assessment. Oh ho ho!
Ms. Miranda: Come on! But this is super-duper tough!
The decoding is an extreme challenge, and progress is snailish even as the two teachers combine their knowledge.
Io: Groan... My eyes are getting blurry.
Hanna: I can't concentrate any more.
Grea: Yeah.
Mr. Bertrand: That's certainly so. We should call it a day.
Mr. Bertrand: We all seem to have reached our limits.
Ms. Miranda: I'm on board with you there!
Grea: I'm still okay.
Hanna: Me too. I'm not really at a good stopping point yet, and I can still go on for a while.
Mr. Bertrand: Hanna, it's important to rest.
Mr. Bertrand: In a situation like this, there's no telling what could happen or when.
Mr. Bertrand: Imagine being sleepy and not having enough strength at the moment when it really matters. Now wouldn't that be missing the point of things entirely?
Hanna: But that's—
Anne: Hanna, it's like Mr. Bertrand says. Let's rest while we have the chance.
Anne: There's still a long way to go from here.
Anne: Grea has been fighting the whole time, and so have (Captain) and the others.
Mr. Bertrand: Oh ho ho! It's just as Anne says. I understand that you're feeling a bit rushed, but it's precisely at times like these when rest is important.
Mr. Bertrand: Lie down for just a bit and you'll feel much better. Please rest.
Ms. Miranda: Yepper. Just leave what's left to your teachers and get a good sleep.
Ms. Miranda: You gotta rest if you want to be the best.
Ms. Miranda: (Captain), you're such a good kid!
Ms. Miranda: I'm gonna give you a big gold star!
(Captain) and the others bow to Mr. Bertrand and Ms. Miranda and then head out of the room.
Hanna: Okay then, Anne. Now let's go back.
Anne: Sorry, Hanna. I need to talk with Mr. Bertrand.
Hanna: Oh? I suppose I'll go on back now.
Anne: Okay. You go on ahead too, Owen.
Owen: That's not going to happen. How could I put myself before you, Princess?
Anne: I've told you that you don't need to worry about that.
Owen: I have to.
Anne: That's enough, Owen. I have a mission here.
Owen: Gulp...
Anne: I'll rest just as soon as I'm done talking with Mr. Bertrand.
Anne: All right?
Owen: As you wish.
Hanna: It's been quite a while since I've heard that exchange, but it comes as a relief.
Mr. Bertrand: Oh ho ho!
Mr. Bertrand: Ah, Ms. Miranda. You should go rest as well.
Mr. Bertrand: I excel at this sort of work, so I should be able to continue on for a while.
Ms. Miranda: All righty then. Gotcha!
Hanna: I'll take my leave then. Good night.
Owen: I beg your pardon.
Ms. Miranda: Nighty night, everybody!
Anne: Yeah, good night!
Anne: So, Mr. Bertrand.
Mr. Bertrand: Oh ho ho! Anne, it's no good to hold your feelings in.
Anne: Ahaha! Could you tell?
Mr. Bertrand: Yes. Do you plan to continue decoding on your own?
Anne: Yeah. Hanna and Grea and (Captain)—
Anne: They're all working as hard as they can to protect Mysteria, every one of them.
Anne: So I still have a lot of energy left compared to everyone else.
Mr. Bertrand: At the same time, I'm not sure how good it would be for you to take on too much.
Anne: I'm not taking anything special on. I'm just doing what I can now.
Mr. Bertrand: Sigh, you are certainly stubborn once you've made up your mind. All right then.
Mr. Bertrand: But don't overdo it. And one more thing—
Anne: ...?
Mr. Bertrand: Don't forget that you're lying to Hanna and Owen.
Anne: Oh. Okay.
Mr. Bertrand leaves the room.
Anne: Thanks, everyone. And sorry, Owen and Hanna.
Anne: Now, I just have one last push.
Anne resumes her effort to decode the book.
Anne: So this is the spell that they used to open the transworld gate. If I apply it right, it should be able to close the gate.
Anne: Yeah, so if this is this way, and I do this like—
Anne: Ah, that missed the mark.
Anne: Then what if I do this like this?
Anne: No, that's still not right.
Anne continues looking for a way to close the transworld gate.
Anne: Hmm... It feels like I'm so close.
Anne: It might take some brute force, but I'll just try a bunch of variations and see what works.
Anne: I still have enough magic. Well then, here goes!
Deep into the night, Anne expends her magic on spell after spell.
Surely only one as magical as Anne could handle this.
