01:09Paimon, I received your message and have brought the device you requested.
01:15The traveler sent a letter asking if Aino could construct a miniature phonograph, preferably one that could be worn around
01:22the neck.
01:24A miniature phonograph? What would she want that for?
01:28Eh, whatever. The important part is, she said you'll bring me back some super delicious ice cream in return.
01:35I got this, no problem. Now, let's see. Nothing too complicated? Fine. I can do simple, I guess.
01:48Huh? When did you send that letter? Paimon had no idea!
01:54Ah, so sneaky! Paimon does not appreciate being kicked out of the loop.
02:01Well, it was excellent timing. I was already planning to come to Snezhnugrag to look for Yehoda, so bringing the
02:09device along was no trouble.
02:11Huh? You're here to look for Yehoda? Wait, so Yehoda's in Snezhnaya?
02:18It's been several days since Yehoda last came to the craft shop to steal some of Aino's snacks.
02:24Aino was concerned, so she asked Ms. Nefer about her whereabouts.
02:28Ms. Nefer said Yehoda is currently in Snezhnugrad handling a commission related to the Seahook gang.
02:34So, I came here to make sure she is safe.
02:38Thank you, traveler and Paimon.
02:45Aino calls it the Happy Quacky Phonograph Ducky. However, due to its small size, the recording capacity is quite limited.
02:53So, do note that the storage component will need to be replaced on a regular basis.
02:58Hey, it's not that complicated.
03:01We'll do...
03:03What?
03:03The ice cream per replacement.
03:07She's dealing in ice cream now?
03:09You're really gonna let Aino have that much ice cream in Efa?
03:13Of course not.
03:15I will keep it frozen and distribute it to Aino according to the established sugar intake plan I've drawn up
03:21for her.
03:22Of course.
03:23Paimon should never have questioned it.
03:25Is that a friend of yours?
03:28Must be.
03:29You sure have a lot of them.
03:31But her body looks...
03:35Mechanical.
03:36Huh.
03:37Hopefully the frigid temperatures around here don't cause her too much trouble.
03:42Miss Vodianitsa, the items you ordered have all been delivered to the theater.
03:46Do you need anything else?
03:48Uh, no.
03:49That will be all.
03:50Thank you, Yavlina.
03:52My pleasure.
03:53I wish you all the best for your performance, Miss Vodianitsa.
03:57Thanks.
03:57All the best with your business, too.
04:07I bet the Traveler never worries about whether people will remember her or sing her praises.
04:12I doubt the thoughts ever even crossed her mind.
04:16Because even if she were stripped of all her fame, she would still have that brilliant heart.
04:41Is that Vodianitsa?
04:45Uh, by the Saritza, I shouldn't have drunk so much.
04:51Oof.
04:52I might have been able to get an autograph.
04:56Greetings, Miss Vodianitsa.
04:59Um, might I suggest you head in that direction?
05:02Otherwise, you'll be getting stopped for an autograph by everyone you walk past.
05:06Thanks, Averillia.
05:08Are you planning to attend my next performance?
05:12I'd love to, of course.
05:14If I can get the time off, and...
05:16Raj doesn't cost me any grief.
05:18I'd be honored to attend.
05:21Honored?
05:22But what if I wasn't the Primadonna?
05:26What if I wasn't even a member of the troupe, but just...
05:31Just the water imp who refused to leave Snezhnagrad?
05:35Would anyone care to listen to me sing then?
05:40Hi, Primadonna!
05:42Take it easy, you two.
05:43It'll be your turn on the stage soon.
05:46Oh, and I won't say a word to Miss Odette, alright?
05:49Yes! Thank you!
05:52Will I be forgotten by everyone?
05:55Just like the other water imps who haven't sung a word,
05:58let alone taking the stage in all these years?
06:01My voice will join theirs,
06:04echoing all alone in an empty theater,
06:07until it fades away and falls into everlasting silence.
06:17Miss Vodianitsa?
06:19Is she performing today?
06:20Don't be ridiculous.
06:22Those aren't your regular theater tickets.
06:25They're...
06:25Tickets to high society, right?
06:28Yeah.
06:30You can't even get them on the black market.
06:33What I wouldn't give to get my hands on one.
06:36They say a lot of influential people are...
06:38It's less about the songs,
06:40and more about the golden networking opportunities.
06:43I hear their tireless scheming,
06:45their ruthless ambition.
06:47The only sound echoing in their minds
06:50is the clinking of Mora.
06:52If all the water imp song means to these people
06:55is a status symbol,
06:57then maybe it's for the best
06:59that our voices fall silent.
07:02I'll be right back.
07:05Yeah.
07:19I'll be right back.
07:23Here I am.
07:30Je sais comment ces choses se passent.
07:33Les banquets, les expositions, les conférences.
07:36Il y a tellement de événements.
07:38C'est tout tellement superfluable, tellement insincère.
07:45Il semble que je n'ai pas obtenu des lettres de l'audience aujourd'hui.
08:00Oh, my dear sisters, where in the world have you gone?
08:05I've learned every last song, but to this day I've never received any letters from you.
08:11I'm sure that where you are, there are plenty of water imps willing to simply listen while a fellow water
08:17imp sings.
08:18Not for social status, not to climb the ladder, and not to appear cultured.
08:25What am I saying?
08:26I'd be better off keeping these thoughts inside my heart.
08:30Or at least they'd be cozy and warm.
08:33Snezhnaya's so cold that my words seem to turn to ice and shatter on the ground moments after leaving my
08:38lips.
08:41I should open the window and let some fresh air in.
08:46Someone's knocking.
08:48Who could it be at this hour?
08:51Wait, those footsteps, they sound familiar.
08:56Please, come in.
08:57Would you?
08:59Hey!
09:00Who do you need, sir?
09:01Huh?
09:02Paimon?
09:04Traveler?
09:04What the?
09:07Did we scare you?
09:09You got us good last time, so it was our turn to get you back.
09:18That's right, we spotted you earlier, where we're going to come treat you to some yummy food and also introduce
09:24you to Inepa.
09:25But then we saw all the other people out there who wanted to talk to you, but then we saw
09:30all the other people out there who wanted to talk to you, so we figured we should probably leave you
09:32to it.
09:33We didn't want to interrupt.
09:35But then, the traveler pointed out that you'd probably be super tired and hungry after dealing with so many people.
09:41So, we went back to plan A and bought some yummy food for you.
09:47I see.
09:49I see.
09:50Okay, uh, I'll go clear the table.
09:52Just a minute, I won't be long.
10:04Oh, you don't mess around, Voriyanitsa.
10:07You pretty much ate that whole late-night feast by yourself.
10:12Yeah, well, I need a full stomach to give me the energy to sing.
10:16Thanks for the surprise feast.
10:18But, um, how did you know I live here?
10:24Paimon flew up to look for you.
10:26Your hair is so pretty.
10:28Paimon spotted it from outside your window right away.
10:34Gift?
10:35What's this?
10:37A little custom build that the traveler got a friend of ours to make.
10:41It's called...
10:43Uh, despite the fact that it looks exactly like my necklace and features zero duck-related design elements?
10:51How about that?
10:54I know really likes ducks.
10:56She's the one who named it, and she'd be mad if we changed it.
11:02In the future, whenever you feel like singing, you can record the song with this.
11:06I'm friends with a very talented director and some wonderful actors.
11:10I know they'll give your songs the attention and appreciation they deserve.
11:15As will I.
11:16Really?
11:17Even the older ones?
11:19Oh, and I'm not talking retro.
11:21I mean, really old-fashioned.
11:24I'm reminded of something my director friend once said.
11:26The most important thing in filmmaking is sincerity.
11:29However technically impressive a film may be, it can't captivate an audience unless it has soul.
11:36I'm sure that only the most sincere and soulful songs are worthy of Vodianitsa's repertoire.
11:42I might not be able to help you keep the Water Imp's songs alive, Vodianitsa,
11:46but I'll always be there to listen and remember any song you want to sing.
11:51Sounds like you really took everything Odette said to heart.
11:54Oh, don't act so surprised.
11:57How many times have I told you?
11:59I'm a water imp for goodness sake.
12:01You can whisper all you want, but I'll always hear you clear as a bell.
12:08Thank you for the gift.
12:10I'll wear it the next time I feel like singing.
12:14But first, you said that only the most sincere and soulful songs are worthy of my repertoire, correct?
12:22Yes.
12:24Okay, and I presume this gift was given with the most sincere of intentions?
12:31Y-y-yes?
12:34Perfect.
12:35Well then, to make sure I always remember this gift and to start it off down the path of sincerity
12:40and soulfulness,
12:42I'm going to need to hear your most sincere singing voice.
12:46Come on, Traveler, show me what you've got.
12:49Huh? I-I-I'm not much of a singer.
12:52Paimon, remember that time you and Ito sang?
12:55I got reincarnated as an Onikabuto and flipped the world upside down?
12:59Well then, it's time for an encore.
13:01What? No way! Paimon said...
13:05She doesn't remember the lyrics!
13:07And let's not pretend you can't sing.
13:11We both remember when you serenaded that whopper flower.
13:15Oh, excuse me?
13:16You serenaded a whopper flower?
13:19I did not!
13:21Well, technically I did, but I-I can explain.
13:24It was all a misunderstanding.
13:26Sing it for me.
13:28I-I'll need a second to get ready.
13:31Now.
13:34I-I-uh-can't sing without my whopper flower muse.
13:39Off we go then.
13:40Let's go find us a whopper flower.
13:43But where?
13:44They aren't that easy to find.
13:46I don't care.
13:48No ifs, no buts.
13:50I want to hear this whopper flower serenade before the day is through.
13:54And your song, Paimon.
13:56You're gonna give me your best rendition of
13:58I got reincarnated as an Onikabuto and flipped the world upside down.
14:04That's gotta be the silliest song name I ever heard.
14:08I love it!
14:09Paimon, start memorizing those lyrics.
14:12Both of you, let's go track down a whopper flower.
14:17No!
