Magi: Sinbad no Bouken (2016) s01e07 Episode Script

1 It's a great pleasure to meet you.
My name is Ja'far, a merchant.
It would be an honor if you could stock our products at your lovely store.
What the heck am I saying? I've had enough, old hag! Old hag? Rurumu Chop! How many times do I have to remind you? When you address a mature lady call them "Miss" or "Madam.
" We're part of Imuchakk's official merchant ship crew led by Sinbad.
Our every conduct will help build a strong, reliable relationship.
You tell them! My wife's the best teacher for them.
But if you're completely illiterate, forget about it! You must learn general education, culture, geography and of course, mathematics! Ja'far! Correct your posture! You're staggering! Hanging in there guys? Chief! No.
Mr.
Ja'far, you got this! My brain's about to explode Everyone! It's lunch time! Don't you forget about table manners.
Don't make a sound.
Or else we get the Chop! Delicious! Good, huh? I can count on Rurumu for everything.
She's the most talented woman of Imuchakk.
My stomach is telling me to never disobey this woman! Ja'far changed quite a bit, don't you think? Never knew he could smile like that.
We owe it all to you guys.
What do you think? Time for a celebratory drink? Rurumu will be pissed if she found out.
-Come on, don't jinx it.
-Hey! Sit properly! Watch your manners.
Your expression, the lines between your brows! You'll scare everyone away! No! My eyes! You still have a long way to go! Let's get back to work, shall we? A monstrous ship is about to arrive.
Never seen anything like it! Rumor says it's a ship from the remote North! -It's high! -It's scary! We're here.
The Reim Empire! Amazing! The Reim Empire is a powerful nation with the world's largest territory.
Napolia was the most populated business municipal next to Remano, the capital.
The scale of its economy surpasses even the great maritime nation, Balbadd.
The city is a leading financial center of the world's economy.
The world is full of unfamiliar things! We've finally reached Reim.
No time to waste! Let's get to business! Come and see for yourself! Direct imports from Imuchakk! Don't miss out on these goods! What's on offer? Imuchakk? -Let's see.
-The savage tribe of the North? Very unique craftsmanship.
Are they genuine? Of course! We're the only ones approved to sell Imuchakk goods! Here's our contract if you'd like to read it.
I see.
Please do not be concerned.
I promise that I would never put you at a loss.
Lovely lady.
-I would like to purchase this.
-I want this! Thanks for your business! Oh dear! Sin's got chops.
At least it won't be considered fraud.
Hey! Whose approval do you have to set up shop here? Oh, I apologize.
We'll start the procedure at once.
Where do I need to go? A merchant who doesn't know how to sell in Reim? All commercial transactions have to go through the Reim Merchant Union.
They manage and control everything.
Only companies approved by the union are allowed to do business here.
If you understand, leave at once! That includes all of you too! Scram! So that's how it works.
Since I studied from old books I had no idea.
Who's the proprietor here? That would be me.
How can I help you? Will you be willing to sell me everything you have? What? But it's against the law right now.
Indeed.
Non-union members are prohibited to sell to the general public.
But since I'm affiliated with the union I'm able to purchase goods from you.
I see.
You came all this way to Reim.
You wouldn't want to return with a full inventory.
That's right.
In that case Please let us do business with you! This is the written oath.
Wait here.
I'll go get the men who'll transport the goods.
Thank you very much.
What a relief! We wouldn't want to risk dead stock.
As merchants, that was an ideal transaction.
Sure was! Amazing.
Please accept it.
This much? I hope to do business with you again.
We hit the jackpot! -A huge success! -Yeah.
It would've been embarrassing taking all those goods back home.
What's going on? These are our products.
The prices are five times no, ten times higher! We've been deceived.
He took advantage of us.
That guy makes his money by reselling.
He must target non-union merchants just like us.
I see.
It's unfair.
What was our total loss? I don't know.
But in the end, we need to join the union to do business in Reim.
We can't argue about the resale.
You're right.
I underestimated how business works.
It's true.
This is the reality of business.
We're still total amateurs at this.
What are you saying? That's the fun of it! But we were just deceived! Don't you get it? That's why it's fun.
I respect merchants.
Don't you think they're the shrewdest of them all? The world revolves around money.
Money is moved by merchants.
Merchants stand in the forefront of the world.
They have a great grasp on society which helps them make astute forecasts.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration if I said that merchants move the world.
We get to compete with people of that caliber! It's nothing short of mind-blowing! Jeez, you got me again.
If our leader says so, it's our duty to follow him.
Sinbad, are you sure about this? Yup.
Head back to Imuchakk at once and return with new goods.
By the time you return, I hope to settle things with the union.
Got it.
We're counting on you.
I have so much more to learn about the world, this country, its people, and business and trade.
I can't waste time and fall behind because I'm gonna be king! Gotta take care of my stomach first.
This is all I've got.
I gave all the profits to Hinahoho and the crew to purchase more goods.
Let's see what I can do with this.
What's the matter? Doesn't this belong to you? Would you like to join me for dinner? My name is Harun.
I'm a trader from Balbadd.
Balbadd? That's the largest economy next to Reim.
If you're a merchant, it's worth a visit.
-It's a very active city.
-Yes.
I'll look you up when I'm in town.
You do know, right? I'm selling your goods at a higher price.
Yes.
That was due to our lack of knowledge and experience.
In other words I lost the trade battle with you, Harun.
So that's why you approached me to learn about the ins and outs? Indeed, that's correct.
Your composed greed tells me you're fit to be a merchant.
So I shall teach you.
Reim has never seen goods from Imuchakk before.
You had the most lucrative product but missed the timing to sell at the highest price and let another merchant decide on its standard market value.
Think of this incident as the greatest loss you can ever imagine.
Something about this man tells me he's more than a merchant.
So will you tell me how you got the great man Rametoto to approve of this? I knew it.
I've been curious ever since you made your grand entrance at the port.
I've been to Imuchakk many times to ask for approval but was always turned down.
So why did they allow an inexperienced boy to handle their goods? Please do not forget that manners and words greatly influence face-to-face negotiations.
But most importantly No matter how ignorant I may be I can't reveal my business secrets.
Smile.
Even if you're facing an enemy, people can't attack others with a smile.
I need to acquire a deeper understanding of this country.
In exchange for that, I'll reveal everything to you.
Yes, only if we can be comrades who support and share each other's knowledge.
You're telling me to become your comrade? A comrade with a child like you? You're selling me short on that one.
But, I'll give you an ear.
Please.
The wine froze?! That's the power of the ice Djinn, Valefor.
It's an ability only Dungeon Capturers can acquire.
You're a Dungeon Capturer?! Yes.
I'm intensely curious about your story.
A battle facing a great dragon and a treasure vault of a historic ruin.
Your stories are more interesting than a court poet's! Court poet? Taking on adventures and exploring this vast world.
You're living a dream, I'm in awe.
But I still can't figure out what you're going to do with the powers you obtained.
I'm going to revolutionize this world.
Revolutionize? My home country, Parthevia exploits their citizens and is headed to self-destruction.
I have a strong desire to save the people.
But it can't be done by myself.
I knew I needed to obtain greater power.
I need to create a country that moves the world.
I'm going to become king.
King?! Sure, a king may have power, but it's more of a burden.
It's impossible to cater to the needs of the world and people Sinbad.
Your story is intriguing but still immature.
In order to join Reim's merchant union you need a recommendation letter from a union merchant and 1000 gold coins as an admission fee.
It's out of reach for most commoners.
But if your motivations are genuine, and you truly want to revolutionize this world, make it happen.
I'm heading to Remano tomorrow for business.
I'll be back in a month.
Prove yourself by raising 1000 gold coins by then.
Depending on the outcome, I'll write you a recommendation letter to the union.
This is it! This is the flow.
I'll make it happen! I certainly never thought you would make negotiations with a civilian child.
Do you see something in that boy? It was just on a whim.
It's like watering a flower in the street.
Besides it's just a child's dream.
I'm sure he'll be crushed by reality in a month and give it all up.
I wonder what Harun's true identity is? Please stay at our room upstairs.
The guest with you paid for the full stay.
I've come this far, I can't miss out on this chance.
But what can I do to raise 1000 gold coins? I have to join the union by the time Hinahoho and the crew gets back.
I can't waste any time.
Even if I work as a boatman or a carriage guard I'll only make three bronze coins a day.
On top of that, even if I work as a dishwasher I wouldn't be able to raise that much in a month.
A thousand gold coins? That's nothing when it comes to founding a nation.
So think.
What can I do? Oh.
I was able to capture Baal and Valefor because I had this.
I got it.
ONE MONTH LATER We've arrived in Napolia.
Hurry or else you'll miss it! I heard that it's amazing! I'm excited! What festivity could it be? -Hurry! -Wait up! Wow.
This is a story about a boy.
The Dungeon! Thousands of people took on the challenge but never returned.
When one gets past the sacred gate they see the ancient city that was destroyed ages ago.
While killing off small dragons the boy proceeds further.
He faces a great dragon that shoots out lightning.
The boy fought with all his might.
And just as the dragon's fire breath was about to hit the boy, he pierced the dragon with his sword! Yes.
That boy is me, Sinbad! Amazing! He's a real Capturer! That's the power of the spirit? Dungeons really exist! Harun! I'm impressed.
This is like an amphitheater.
Yes, fortunately.
Sinbad! Indeed.
This is something only you, a Capturer can do.
What a brilliant idea.
It's all because of you, Harun.
You were the one who said that my stories were more entertaining than a court poet's.
You even said I was living a dream and you were in awe.
That made me realize that adventure stories can captivate and excite anybody.
I was once captivated as a child myself, too.
But I'm still very far from a thousand gold coins.
And today's the promised day.
Will you please give me more time? I will fulfill my terms no matter what! I won't give up.
This is my listening fee to you.
Accept this, Sinbad.
As your comrade, I'll support your dream.
So, our promise You have a lot coming ahead of you, my friend.
There's no time for you to waste.
Harun.
No, Mentor! Who are you? Oh, there you are.
Please give us notice before you go out.
He's the 22nd King of Balbadd.
His excellency, King Rashid!
