Original subtitles

Izumi Harnet, 18 years old.

For certain reasons I am currently located on the northern Mt. Briggs.

Those reasons I'll leave for later...

For now, I just want to yell...

This is bad! I'm about to die!

A few hours earlier

A few hours earlier

Mr. Silver Steiner.

I've heard you are a renowned alchemist, so I've traveled from the western country-side to meet you.

My name is Izumi Harnet.

I'd like you to make me your apprentice.

You are the alchemist Silver Steiner, correct?

Yes, my name is Steiner.

Is there something I can do for you?

I'm hoping for an apprenticeship!

Why yes, I'll be turning 89 this year.

That's not what I asked...

The weather should be clear tomorrow.

Not that, apprenticeship!

Ap-pren-tice-ship!

What? Apprenticeship? Why didn't you say so sooner?

It's terrible that kids these days know nothing of manners.

One month.

Using that knife, try to survive on Mt. Briggs for one month.

Accomplish this and I'll take you as my apprentice.

What does this have to do with alchemy?

No, this is the famous alchemist, Silver Steiner.

I'm sure there must be some deep meaning.

One month on Mt. Briggs.

That was close! I glimpsed at the afterlife!

2nd Day

If I sleep at night, I'll freeze to death.

I'll have to sleep during the afternoon when it's warm.

I'll have to make a fence to keep the wolves away.

I also need to gather wood to keep the fire from going out.

In what way is this training for alchemy!?

Put your hands up, nice and slow!

The Mountain Guard?

Damn, I was this close to Fort Briggs?

What are you doing here?

No, you see, this is training.

There's no idiot who would come here in this season for training!

But I'm that idiot.

You're coming with us, move.

H-Hey, wait a minute!

If I can't survive here for one month alone, I can't get an apprenticeship!

Be quiet, like we'd believe that nonsense.

What'd you say!? Isn't it the job of the military to protect weak citizens!?

The title of weak citizen does not apply here.

There are spies from Drachma who dress as ordinary citizen and cross the nation's border.

We are the National Guard, the word "negligence" is not in our dictionary.

Briggs law is survival of the fittest. If you are not prepared, then you will be eaten first.

You just said something good!

You bitch!

All right! Military rations!

I'm sorry, this is survival of the fittest, it's the law of nature.

I have to survive here for one month, no matter what it takes.

8th Day

That's what I said...

It really is impossible...

I can't move anymore...

I'm equal to garbage in this big world...

At this rate I'll become food for the wolves, won't I?

What a tiny existence...

If I'm the type who would die like this, I should have given up training and quickly gotten off the mountain.

Now I don't even have enough strength to get off the mountain...

18 years, huh?

What a short life...

I can't die!!

A young maiden of 18!

I haven't even felt the flames of love yet!

There's no way I can die!

Don't be ridiculous! Stop messing with me!

Food!

It pisses me off!

Even if I die, the sun will keep setting and rising as if nothing happened!

Really, the flow of the world is strong, fast and cruel!

16th day

This world's flow abides by a great power.

However... the origin of that flow is a gathering of tiny existences like us.

Without us, that great flow would cease to exist!

24th day

If the powerful flow of the world is known...

... and that power can be used by a tiny existence...

... that person is...

... the alchemist!

The principal is "One is all, all is one"!

My master, Silver Steiner...

You must have told me to survive in this cruel land so I could learn this lesson.

Hey, did you hear?

Yeah, the Mountain Guard is being taken out.

They say someone is attacking them and stealing their equipment.

Are they really spies?

They still haven't caught them yet?

How pathetic! The Briggs patrol name has been disgraced!

On top of that, I hear a woman's responsible.

One month.

If I remember correctly, you're the one who wanted an apprenticeship.

That's right. As promised, you'll teach me alchemy now, right?

Please teach me alchemy!

Alchemy!

You must be talking about my younger brother.

My name is Gold Steiner.

I'm Silver's older brother, known for being a fighter.

My younger brother died long ago.

Wrong person?

What? So you weren't aiming to become a fighter?

But, you still did well to endure that one month...

I am pleased! You will be my apprentice!

Let us walk this road of death toget-...

Conventional year, 1897.

Record of Briggs National Guard.

In the beginning of this year in the mountain area neighboring Drachma,

cases of soldiers being attacked by a woman repeatedly occurred.

Assumed to be committed by the same person, the surprise robberies suddenly stopped after one month.

Since that time, no one in the Mt. Briggs area to the north has seen that mysterious woman again.

Oh no! I'm late, I'm late!

After one month of winter training on the mountain, I'm supposed to start my main training with Master!

If I keep going like this, I'll be late!

Master's First Love Story

P-Pardon me!

Why don't you watch where-

You're not hurt are you, young lady?

What a gentleman.

N-No, I'm sorry for causing you to worry.

W-Well... I'm in a hurry so...

Please wait a moment!

The bear, you dropped it.

Oh no! How could I be so clumsy?

This was the fated encounter that started their love.

Since then, we've been a romantic lovey-dovey couple.
