(French Literature class)

Hey, how come Neko always sits in the back?

That's Neko's reserved seat.

The beach, the beach! It's gotta be the beach!

The mountains are better. It's quiet.

Of course, the hot springs!

It's popular right now!

Hey Neko, come over here!

We're trying to decide where we want to go for our seminar!

No way, no way. Neko doesn't get excited about these things.

Wait!

Hey, we don't have enough people for tomorrow's drinking party.

Hiroko, Neko, will you join us?

Will any men be there?

Of course!

Okay, I'll come!

Hey Neko, let's BOTH go.

I have something to do.

Come on, Neko, you're always like this.

Neko-chan, there's a man coming that's interested in you.

Sorry, maybe another time.

OK then, I'll find a good man instead.

Somehow I never get to meet men socially.

What's that? Let me see.

What's this... a frog or a hippopotamus?

A dinosaur, Gokudo-san.

Gokudo-san?

Gokudo Dinosaur.

He has ferocious eyes so I call him "Gokudo".

I see.

Ferocious eyes, nastly looking face, and generally ugly.

Three strikes, he's out!

That's a good one!

Outrageous!

I'm Neko, a literature major at a private university.

My real name is Negishi Miyako. Everyone takes the first and last letters and calls me "Neko".

Hi, it's Neko.

What happened yesterday?

I waited 2 hours at the intersection.

The tickets were too good to waste so I invited Hayako...

but I wanted to see it with you.

Uh-huh, sorry. Later.

Yes.

Hi, how's my "comrade of the full moon"?

Hi! Haruka-chan.

Sure, sure... thanks, but don't call me Haruka - "CHAN".

It's TOO CRUEL for a guy over 20 yrs.

So, how'd it go?

He's coming, at 8 o'clock at the place we decided on.

I'm depending on you.

You can count on me. See ya.

TOBIRA O AKETE (Open The Door)

Hi Neko-chan, been waiting?

Oh, you ALWAYS show up in strange places.

Oh yeah! Beautiful, wonderful, tres bien.

The view of Tokyo isn't bad.

Hurry, get down!

You scared the hell out of me!

Looks like he hasn't shown yet, that Yamagishi Keiichiro guy.

You're five minutes late! I know you've been busy with your dates.

No, no... just couldn't get away from work.

I dissolved the latest relationship last night.

You dumped ANOTHER ONE?

I'm always searching for fresh love. That's the destiny of a city boy.

This is Saiki Haruka.

He's a playboy... rather than a city boy.

As you see, he's a teleporter,

...and the only one I've found to be my partner...

...so far.

Find out anything about his power?

Nope. If I knew that, I wouldn't ask you to investigate.

I noticed Yamagishi Keiichiro because of his body odor... just that.

I'm in the same language class as him. When there's a moon, he smells like he hasn't taken a bath for a week.

That's the time when our powers are at a peak.

It's not a pretty story to tell anyone.

Ye, who openeth the door...

What was that?

Looks like he's arrived.

Anyway, let's check him out.

Hi Neko-chan!

Hi!

Your invite was in the notebook I borrowed from you.

Welcome to our full moon meeting, Keiichiro-kun.

I knew you'd come.

For sure.

By the way, who's that behind you?

You can tell?

Well, it looks he's one of us.

Who's the old man?

Old Man?! Oh COME on!

He's Saiki Haruka-san, a teleporter.

Nice to meet ya.

Ah ha! I KNEW you were like me, Neko-chan!

I kinda of picked up on it.

Now that we know, what's your power?

Well, that's... kinda...

You don't look like the shy type.

Mind your own business.

Wow! Neko-chan, you've got a GREAT power!

Ya gotta be kidding. Why would I do something this stupid?

I thought YOU were doing this, Keiichiro-kun.

Not me!

So what the hell's going on here!

Where ARE we?!

We're being pulled in...

What should we do, Neko?

Don't ask ME!

Dammit, we're trapped in another reality!

We'll have to think our way out.

That won't help.

You don't give a damn about much do you, Boy?

What a nervous old man.

Not again with the Old Man, Old Man!

If I'm a boy, that makes you an old man.

God, you're an obnoxious brat.

Calm down, Old Man.

Now you've pissed me off!

Who cares?

This is hardly the time for that!

Aaaa Neko, HE went somewhere else!

What's going on?!

What's this door for?

Neryulla! Neryulla! Neryulla! Neryulla! Neryulla! Neryulla! Neryulla! Neryulla!

What's this all about?

I don't know.

O-oh come on!

Hold it!

Oh no! NO... NOOOOO!!!!

What do you suggest?

Aren't you going to do something?

We've been awaiting your revival, Neryulla-sama.

Huh? Neryulla? Me?

Who the hell are you?

I'm a priest of the Neryulla's world, Ladin.

L-Ladin?

Neryulla-sama...

Please, give us the words of revival.

W-words?

I don't even know WHERE we are.

This is a revival landmark of Naka no Kuni.

Naka no Kuni?

Yes.

From a 500 year sleep, you've returned...

...as Queen Neryulla-sama of Naka no Kuni legend.

The queen of legend?

I'll tell you the details later.

If you don't speak, the crowds will get restless.

The words of revival?

That is so. You KNOW the words!

Go ahead... go ahead.

Let's see...

"The day of humiliation is nearly over."

"Then" ..um.. "I will open the door."

Neko, you knew the words?

I can't figure it out, they just popped into my head.

It was a moving speech.

Truly evidence of your revival.

They're REAL gemstones!

AWESOME!

It's the sword Neryulla-sam used.

This is?

Soldiers of Nishi no Kuni. Neryulla-sama run!

I won't let you get away.

You're the queen of the legend, Neryulla?

So you've returned.

Who is that man?

He's lieutenant, Altire.

How unusual, ground colored hair.

I'll cut your head off and deliver it to Duran III!

U... come off it, Altire.

I'm Negishi Miyako, a freshman literature major.

I'm no queen of a legend!

We came here by accident!

She's rigth! That's the way it is!

We can talk about it, right? Talk?

Neryulla-sama!

T-they disappeared!

W-which way?

Over there!

Stop you idiots!

I'm just a city boy. Don't ya get it?

I have no background for this kinda stuff!

Neryulla-sama, follow me!

Ladin, is strong and... wonderful.

Neryulla-sama hurry!

Neryulla-sama.

Neko?

You have THAT KIND of power?!

Haruka, that was thrilling.

My magic is much stronger than in Tokyo.

It's because of that moon.

Neryulla, your powers are mysterious.

Leave it to me!

My magic is really hot.

Hey Neko, don't push yourself.

Neryulla-sama.

I've resolved to break you!

Who gives a damn about some legend?

What? It doesn't do a thing to me.

Oh, Altire is...

Incredible magic!

Neryulla-sama!

Such a puny effort!

See?

CURSE YOU!

Hurrah! They've departed!

Neryulla-sama, your power is great enough to regain Kamura Castle.

Uh..u..Kamura Castle?

Have you forgotten?

That is not unreasonable, you've slept in another world for 500 years.

Naka no Kuni's capital lays on the other side of the pass.

Kamura... is that capital.

It's been devoured by the enemy. But it used to be the seat of Neryulla-sama's castle.

Before the enemy reorganizes, we should STRIKE, and lay siege to the castle!

Enemy? Are they Nishi no Kuni's armies?

Yes. That is so.

Ah! I have a headache!

I CAN'T adjust to a feudal world!

Damn it all!

Neryulla-sama, I am Towado.

If you go to Kamura Castle please let me accompany you!

I'm descended from a family whose ancestors served royalty.

Please let me protect you, since you just revived!

You want to be my champion?

Yes milady.

Neryulla-sama... ALLOW ME TO SERVE YOU!

Uh... um, well...

As you wish.

Uh, as you wish.

I am grateful!

I will protect you as though my life DEPENDED upon it!

Is it okay?

Neryulla-sama, your magical powers are as in the legend.

Legend?

Yes. Long ago Naka no Kuni was a lively place.

A strong power who's armies crossed the Kuni River and attacked Nishi...

...then crossed the Hanou Mts. and gained Higashi no Kuni.

The capital, Kamura, was a center of culture, and the lap of luxury.

But one day, the Nishi came from the sea.

They invaded the capital, stormed Kamura Castle, and beheaded the king.

But his daughter Neryulla-sama didn't give in to destiny.

She continued to fight with a handful of soldiers.

She rode upon a golden animal, making a brave and beautiful figure, as she served her country.

Moreover Neryulla-sama, was the carrier of magical powers, that would allow her to go through walls.

She had only to glare at her enemies to beat them.

But Neryulla-sama was captured by the enemy.

Her destiny was to be that of the King.

But before then, Neryulla-sama swore...

"For Naka no Kuni's Gods, no matter how I'm killed my spirit will awaken after a long sleep."

"Then I shall open the door of the future!"

Neryulla! Neryulla! Neryulla! Neryulla!

After being beheaded, Neryulla's spirit was held in an evil unknown world.

Naka no Kuni became a colony of Nishi no Kuni.

The people were levied high taxes and oppressed throughout their history.

It continues in present times.

A door to the future?

An evil world?

It's true, Tokyo is an evil place.

And... just what is it you want from me?

Yes milady. Gather an army to go to the Nishi capital, Shaa, to kill General Duran III.

Duran III?

He rules the country now.

To save the people, we have to obliterate him!

If Neryulla-sama, regains Kamura Castle and begins the revolt...

...SURELY the people of Naka no Kuni will rise up!

Neryulla... I'LL KILL YOU!

I can't believe it!

It's as he foretold. The Neryulla of the legend revived before our eyes.

Oh, did Ladin predict the revival of Neryulla?

Yes. His predictions have never failed.

But actually he's a wanderer whose abode we know not.

About a half year ago, he appeared among us, with word of Neryulla-sama' revival.

Until then, I was the village leader. But his prediction has come true so the people have made him their leader.

He has held a festival once every month, to call forth Neryulla-sama's spirit.

She's hanging on tightly!

That is Kamura's Castle town.

At one time it was a place of great elegance.

Children?

You startled us.

What weird clothes!

The hair color is strange.

Strange?

Did you come to see Neryulla-sama?

Did you?

At one time, Neryulla-sama destroyed Nishi no Kuni's army and regained Kamura Castle!

Yeah, with a golden animal and her followers.

She came from the Eastern Hanao Mts.

She was a very pretty blond princess.

That's right.

Hey guys, is that true?

It's the truth.

We'd better go. We'd better go...

What does it mean?

Hey, let's go. Surely, the blond Neryulla is the real one.

Neryulla-sama. If I call you Neryulla-sama you ARE Neryulla-sama. Believe it.

What? This is Neryulla's old hangout?

At last Neryulla-dono has returned but this place is not in fit condition to receive her.

Hey, look.

It's a lion!

Neryulla-sama. Get back!

Neryulla-sama... leave it TO ME!

Shoo! Shoo!

That's not nice, Old Man.

Don't "shoo, shoo" me.

Old Man?

That voice. It's Yamagishi K-Keiichiro.

That's correct.

Neko-chan, Old Man... I missed you both..!

That's disgusting!

Oh, so you're a lion man. So THAT was the odor.

Ah, what an awesome talent.

I remembered your scent so came out to greet you.

So the golden animal with the blond Neryulla was a...

After we separated, I found myself on a Hanao mountainside.

That's where I met up with a party from the East.

It was led by the princess of Higashi no Kuni.

So, she's not Neryulla.

Right.

After we came to this castle town the army here mistook her for Neryulla and attacked.

But the Higashi no Kuni were strong.

They stormed the castle.

The princess had to cross the Hanou Mts. to do it.

The invasion of Naka no Kuni damaged the road.

NO ONE's been able to cross the mts. in hundreds of years.

She says that's WHY she crossed them.

That's Princess Dimida for ya.

What? Princess Dimida?

You know her, Ladin?

Yes. But only the name.

La Medin Dimida, the ogre princess.

Ogre princess?

Keiichiro.

Is Keiichiro here?

Whoa, lookin' good!

Keiichiro, are these people your friends?

Yes ma'am!

It's true, their hair is the same soil color.

You're being impolite!

Wait!

She may be of royal blood, but she must show proper respect for Neryulla-sama!

Neryulla?

You?

Neko-chan, YOU'RE Neryulla?

What does this mean, Old Man?

STOP calling me "Old Man"?!!

This is interesting.

The queen of the legend has arisen.

This is really interesting.

Hey Neko, be strong.

She's showing more confidence than you!

Right!

Geez, I lost.

Then where's Neryulla's army?

Army?

Because you've arisen, you'll be fighting Nishi no Kuni.

No. My army is only we three.

Three?

Fascinating, it gets more interesting all the time.

My reason for traveling the long distance over the mts., was for my ailing father.

To bring him medicinal herbs that only exist in Nishi.

But I've decided to gamble with Neryulla-dono.

A bet?

The reason I turned my sword on Nishi no Kuni, was that I was mistaken for Neryulla-dono.

Please fight me.

With only a 3 people army, you challenge Nishi no Kuni's Duran III bare handed.

If I win, your head'll be a gift for Duran III in exchange for the herbs.

But if I lose to you, the house of La Medin until the END of time... I swear will be loyal to you.

What's the matter, Neryulla-dono?

A wager against me?

She's mad.

NEKO-CHAN!

NERYULLA-SAMA!

PLEASE! DON'T DO IT!

N-Neko!

I... won't lose to you!

I won't lose either!

The ogre princess is La Medin's goddess of victory!

Ji don't help me!

Ladin, Towado... don't interfere!

Incredible.

A lady's duel.

WAIT!

Don't help!

Neko.

A legendary queen, eh?

I'm serious.

After I realized my strength, I knew I had to hold back.

But I'm SERIOUS now!

Neryulla-dono, I see you CAN kill your enemies with a glare.

Demida.

All hurry to greet her.

Here is Neryulla-dono, Naka no Kuni's legendary queen, and my friend.

Women are hard to figure.

On the day I was born, a shooting star crossed the sky. A fortune-teller said...

"someday this child will cross the Hanou Mts".

This saddened my father.

He was sad? Why?

My father and his vassals are COWARDS!

He's satisfied with having a peaceful life.

He doesn't want tomorrows that are different from today.

Tha Hanou Mt. road is still torn to shreds,

because the people in my country don't want a different tomorrow.

If a new ideas come from across the mts, they're afraid it would change their culture.

My father and others say "a happy tomorrow is the same as today."

But I think that tomorrow is different from today, that's it's nature!

Tomorrow is different from today.

You're something else, Demida.

I've never thought of that.

This is the first time I've been this joyful!

Me too. It's a blast just letting loose! For me to express my real self is a real first!

WOW!

Neryulla-sama!

Neko-chan!

You're BEAUTIFUL!

Too bad I didn't ask you out... as the city boy!

It's awful!

Neryulla-sama, it's bad!

There's a crowd assembling outside the castle!

A crowd?

What're they here for?

To figth?

But none have swords or weapons.

Neryulla-sama.

If you go against Fort Shiko, please take us.

You sure you want to?

No, we're just moving.

Moving?

Yes, Duran III says attacking Kamura Castle is madness, so I heard he'll burn the villages here.

But if Neryulla-sama captures Fort Shiko, we thought we'd move in.

What's happening?

They're looking for OTHERS to save them.

I was mistaken for Neryulla-dono but none of these people helped me.

They're weak. I hold no hope for their future.

No.

They'll only be useless in the beginning.

This country's people only needs time.

These people have been controlled by Nishi no Kuni for centuries, and have forgotten how to fight.

They are content to be like that.

Neryulla-sama,

you MUST open the door to the tomorrow of the legend.

The princess called the soil colored hair lady, Neryulla-sama.

Whoops. I was impolite.

So's I.

That's Fort Shiko.

What the hell is THAT?!

A dragon.

Those things EXIST?

Hide in the gaps of the stones!

Neryulla-sama!

Neryulla-sama.

Thank God.

Thank you.

You Son of a Bitch!

I'll send you to extinction!

What a RECKLESS princess!

Hey YOU!

Your opponent is Higashi no Kuni's La Medin Demida.

Prepare yourself!

Oh! The ogre princess!

DIE!

Not right noooooow!!!

Haruka-san is here!

What a grand view!

You did well back there.

Kinda.

Demida-chan, how about driving me around the big sky.

I was enraptured by you from the first time I saw you.

Isn't it a good idea to burn with love?

What are you talking about?

Well ya see, my life is in your hands.

OH! I SEE!

Here we go!

Betting on love is different here!

We've got to take out that dragon!

Neryulla-dono!

I'll take care of the other dragon!

Neryulla-dono, advance to Fort Shiko!

Demida!

Neryulla-sama, come on!

Men, let's GO!

Spread out!

Hey! Are you RUNNING AWAY?!

They're still following. I'll take a risk!

Now for my cool move!

INTO THE FORT!

Keiichiro, you're SO cool!

Hey Neryulla, you're far too confident.

Now, take Altire's challenge!

Didn't you bother to die?

I'm immortal!

Neko-chan, get on!

Thanks, Keiichiro.

Let's go!

How's that?!

Princess, excellent!

Ji, it's becoming very exciting!

Yes.

But it's hard on my old body.

Neryulla, I've been waiting for you.

At the landmark, I lost to you...

Now, I will get revenge.

Neryulla-sama...

The figure you strike is legendary itself!

You!

That's Neryulla-sama!

Neryulla-sama.

Neryulla-sama.

Neryulla-sama.

Neryulla-sama.

Neryulla-sama.

Neryulla-sama!

History has begun to move.

Give up, Altire.

Don't be impudent.

Ah Keiichiro, hang on!

What?!

Neryulla, I'm immortal!

It's over. We won!

BRAVO!

Neryulla-sama...

...it terrible. It's Ladin.

L-Ladin!

Ladin was a brave man...

May your soul rest in peace forever.

The holy ground is your place of return.

We PRAY!

Neko-chan, don't be sad.

Neryulla-dono,

you're not supposed to show your tears.

B-but...

This happens when there's war.

If you grieve every time,

you will not win against Duran III.

That's right. It's true, Neryulla-sama!

He was just a stranger among us.

I will serve you in his stead.

And besides, Naka no Kuni's people have risen up to help you.

"I wanted to know you better",

Neko!

Hey... Neko!

...was whispered to me.

Like the colors of the setting sun,

...my ear is hot from the words.

I won't be able to see you again.

Neryulla-sama!

Neryulla-sama!

Neryulla-sama!

Neryulla-sama!

Neryulla-sama, look!

This was Altire's sword.

I'll kill Duran III woth it!

Kill him.

Kids...

We'll protect Neryulla-sama!

So please cheer up.

Cheer up.

Yeah...

we're NOT afraid of Duran III's army!

Go for it!

Let's do it!

Yay!

Neryulla-sama...

...you have to open the door to the future.

How cruel and selfish,

of Ladin to die alone.

He got me involved in a war,

and disappeared.

What do I do now?

What do I do with my future?

You always sneak up on me.

The legendary queen looks sad,

it doesn't fit your image.

I'm NOT sad.

It's just because of the smoke.

First of all, who dies,

isn't my business.

The "Rebirth of Neryulla".

I don't beleive that.

Hey Neko,

have we eaten since we got here?

What?

Under the circumstances, I understand.

Your period was due yesterday, right?

A man who understands THAT...

ISN'T CUTE!

What can I say,

Our bodies are still in Tokyo,

but our spirits here, I think.

This is just a weird dream.

If we see it that way, It'll be easier.

To tell ya the truth, this Haruka-san might be crazy about the legendary queen.

What? Stop kidding.

I don't feel like it right now.

Who the hell's kidding!

If you're not, that means you're getting serious!

So..so I'm serious!

Will you please...

Yeah right, you were after Demida a bit ago.

Haruka's brand of seriousness won't last more than a month.

You go with women, then dump them.

I'm in no MOOD for that!

Ah! NOW I've got you figured.

What?

You. No matter who asks, you always make an escape.

You're afraid.

You're scared of associating with men.

Don't run from it, Neko.

If I get serious and show you, that'll prove it.

What? You're so damned arrogant!

Wait!

Stop me... stop me... stop me... stop me... stop me.

Haruka-san's goooooing!

Ah! Neko-chan, Old Man, come over!

Hurry, hurry!

What's up?

What is it, Boy?

Look at that!

Shinjuku!

There's Tokyo Tower!

Oh, that's Sunshine 60 of Ikebururo.

It's Tokyo-san!

It's Tokyo all right.

I've missed it!

Tokyo-san.

Tokyo-saan!

Yahoo! Tokyo-saaaaaan!

Hey, wait for me!

TOKYO-SAAAAAAAN!

NERYULLA-DONO...!

NERYULLA-SAMA...

DON'T GO IN THERE!

THAT'S HIYOKA FOREST!

IT CONFUSES PEOPLE'S MINDS!

IT'S A DUBIOUS PLACE!

What?!

You monster!

Monster, monster!

What a shame Negishi-san couldn't get in a group again.

Negishi-san you're avoiding making friends.

Do you understand that's the problem?

She's a high school student.

Why'd you give her permission to live in an apt.? When I went to college you didn't allow me to.

You should understand,

it's good for Miyako.

Because she's abnormal?

Аяко!

Sorry.

Abnormal.

Monster... monster...

Monster... monster...

Shit... what the hell was that?

It brought back God awful memories.

Yeah. For me too.

It's got me down.

LOOK!

TOKYO DISAPPEARED!

Dammit!

The illusion was caused by a warp sphere.

I wanna cup of coffee. I can't image going days without coffee!

I miss the Yoshinoya beef bowls.

When can we go back?

Which world should we live in, this one of Tokyo?

Actually, we were outsiders in Tokyo.

Neko.

I'll give things a try.

I want to continue the fight 'til I'm sure I'm legendary queen or not!

Neko-chan.

Neko.

Watch me, Ladin.

I'll open the door to the future of this country.

People are hard to understand.

Once the Naka no Kuni rose up,

they were bold and powerful...

like beasts released from their cages.

We had a string of victories and forged onward.

We invaded Nishi no Kuni's forts,

and pushed westward.

Duran III's residental castle was our destination.

But as we neared the city of Shaa,

Duran III...

sent out his main army, the Black Knight Corps.

They were far stronger than expected.

We were run down into Death Valley.

Is Neryulla-sama losing?

Stupid, she can't be.

She can't.

God Damn Black Knights!

La Medin Demida is the goddess of victory.

I'll fight to the end.

Shit. They plan to attack at dawn.

The people are scared,

we won't be able to win.

Maybe it's true.

There's too many of them.

My magical powers won't help.

Neko, what are you doing being timid!

You're Neryulla-sama!

You're the SYMBOL of Naka no Kuni.

Don't give up 'til the end!

Haruka.

Gotta think up stategies by dawn.

I'll do some scouting.

See ya.

Ah, the old man has a serious side.

Uh, this isn't the best time to say this but,

Neko-chan, don't you love the old man?

Not...

What're you saying?

S-sorry.

It's too much trouble.

Whenever I get along with a guy,

something always happens and...

men call me a monster.

It's hard to be hurt every time.

I'll NEVER say that.

I'll won't. I'm serious!

You and Haruka are different.

I've found my true friends.

But if I get captivated by one of you,

and the relationship goes bad,

it would be a tragedy.

Neko-chan,

do you believe...

that love ALWAYS fails?

Dawn finally came.

But no brilliant ideas came up to get us through the crisis.

They'll be here soon.

Though you don't have a plan, you'll fight 'til the end?

I'm ready to die on the battlefield. Ji, return home.

No, I'll be with you.

It's time to die fighting.

That'll do it!

Hey, what's on your mind, Neko?

An incantation for when I'm hurt. Gokudo Dinosaur-san, please.

What the...?

All riiiiight!

THIS I can't believe!

Don't run!

Are you not the elite of Duran III?

Ge the Stone Bow Unit and shoot the beast!

Fire!

WHAT is THAT?!

Gokudo Dinosaur-san, thank you.

Neryulla-sama...

We'll be able to win. Thank you, Neryulla-sama!

Let's go!

Everyone CHARGE!

FALL BACK!

God Damn Neryulla! Using weird magic...

They ran off!

Way to go, Neko-chan!

Neko.

We headed west.

We crossed a mt. pass and reached the road of Shaa.

We DEFEATED the Black Knights. The people knew it,

and joined our procession...

until our numbers became massive.

We finally arrived on a hill above Shaa.

I see you're off by yourself again?

Oh, not again.

Demida and Towado are looking for you,

to prepare for tomorrow's battle.

They need their great general.

I was just looking at the city of Shaa.

It's far more beautiful than Kamura's run-down city.

Yes, it is.

Duran III, what kind of guy is he?

We'll find out tomorrow.

That's for sure.

Neko, if we win the battle, let's find a way to return to Toyko.

No matter what, that's home... for us.

For me...

as I play the part of a legendary queen,

I realize for the first time...

as I worked at pretending to be normal...

I was avoiding a lot of situations.

So nothing changed.

Right, if you fear being hurt or betrayed, nothing can happen...

like friendships and love.

Next time you try that I'll beam you!

Okay, okay.

Whatever you say, Neryulla-sama.

Demida, I, and the others will enter the castle.

I'll leave someone to lead you.

Towado? You're in charge.

Understood.

Now, for Naka no Kuni's freedom.

Let's goooo!

Nerryulla-dono...

you'll be the world's most FANTASTIC queen!

Thank you Demida. But...

Demidaaaa!

Demida, when you fall in love, is it like fire?

It MUST be!

What are you talking about, Neryulla-dono?

Let's go!

A Black Knight.

Neryulla!

You should prepare to die.

Neryulla-dono, please leave this to me.

YOU find Duran III!

HURRY, GET GOING!

Thank you, Demida.

You're the ogre princess of Higashi no Kuni.

That's right.

Are you ready Black Knight?!

Oh boy,

this is bad.

Тhere's too many guards up there.

Got any ideas?

My cool move.

Uh-oh, where've we ended up?

What idol is that?

It's rather inspiring.

This country has it's own God, I guess.

Never heard about it.

As it is now,

you are the only God, Neryulla.

Ah!

Welcome Neryulla-sama.

I thought you'd make here.

L-Ladin, you're still alive?

Are you surprised?

The corpse was a substitute.

Why'd you do that?

I needed to.

So Ladin, YOU'RE Duran III?

The Neryulla legend was made up...

to keep the Naka no Kuni from being desperate about the taxes.

That's our gift to them.

So Queen Neryulla doesn't exist.

Doesn't exist?

Why'd you involve us in your plans?

It was incredible, but true.

Now this world's door to the future will be opened.

Shoot!

500 years ago...

Naka no Kuni was invaded and lost it's great power.

History stopped. The people slept.

Naka no Kuni, my own country Nishi no Kuni...

and Higashi no Kuni have been peaceful.

NOTHING happens, NOTHING progresses.

I'm not satisfied with a MILD world!

But... BUT, new ways of thinking are unorthodox and NEVER accepted!

That's why you made ME fight?

I had no idea you'd be so strong, Ogre Princess.

Somebody had to be responsible for taking care of the stagnant stream.

The Naka no Kuni people needed to be awakened.

If the countries wage war, they'll regain their vitality.

To do that, I made Neryulla's legend true.

That's why you involved me?

Correct.

The door of the Revival Landmark has a spacial warp,

that connects it to another world.

I completely devoted myself...

to seeking one there to be Neryulla.

Having been asked, your unique powers and mind replied.

My mind?

YES! THAT IS SO!

Your mind...

...communicated itself perfectly.

It was shut away and seeking an exit.

Wait Black Knight!

Come on.

I lost.

I'm not your master anymore.

You should go to her.

MORE burning!

MORE fires!

Now our homelands will evolve.

History will flow.

I won the gamble.

I won!

PRINCESS!

Are you well, Princess Demida?

Oh, finally killed is he?

That bastard.

Wait Ji!

Let's bury him with respect.

Huh... but...

He was quite a man.

Is it called "falling in love at first sight", Ji?

I won and you, a girl from another world, were an excellent legendary queen.

The door!

The door!

This is way back.

If you pass through it,

you may return to your world.

We can return!

We can return Old Man!

Back to Tokyo!

Yes, we can go home.

But why?

We don't have to harm each other.

You are not my enemy.

History is.

Go ahead.

Your duties are over.

The door...

Our door...

Our...

Go ahead and open it.

You are no longer necessary.

I'm unnecessary? Why?

LET'S STOP KIDDING!!!

Ladin... NO, Duran III,

you used a LIVING BEING to create a new future?

YES. THAT'S RIGHT.

History is made by the actions of the living.

WHY? HOW can you say that?

What are HUMANS for?

What is LIVING for?

To go forward.

Is it RIGHT to play with minds, futures and destinies?

When need ne.

Yes, I needed to open the door.

I didn't want to sleep forever,

I wanted to go forward.

In an unchanging world...

I wanted change.

And finally my hand grabbed the world...

for me!

Now everything...

history, people's destinies...

it's ALL in MY grasp!

Neko!

Neko-chan!

No, no, no, no... NOOOOOOO!

The door has opened.

My door.

Neko-chan, been waiting?

Hi Haruka-chan!

Nice car.

It's your first ride in it, isn't it?

So, get in.

Just a minute, Haruka-chan.

Someone else is coming.

Huh?

Neko-chaaan.

He's here.

I'm sorry... sorry.

I'm late!

What?

The "someone else" is HIM?

Hey, what's the old man doin' here?

Why ask why?

I promised Neko a drive.

We had a DATE!

The DRIVE is first!

Her DATE comes first!

Both ways is fine.

Let's all go for a drive.

Anyway, when I think back, it's weird about that night.

For sure. We all saw the same dream,

and when we woke up, no time passed.

By the way, Neko-chan,

isn't it about time you and I dated?

Ah! The old man is STEALING you.

You're such a noisy boy.

Quit calling me "Boy", Old Man.

Then stop the "Old Man" bit.

I hope you're well, Neryulla-dono.

Since you passed through the door...

thirty one days and nights have passed.

Neryulla-dono, you said when we separated...

this time, in your world...

you would open your own door.

I feel that crossing the Hanou Mts...

was really a good thing.

Neryulla-dono...

I will not forget...

meeting you.
