Bridge of Lightning

W-Why does Melt, Son of Borge...have to climb up...

This steep slope?!

Over here! You monster!

Take this!

Talk about high-maintenance!

Kaaya!

Yes!

Are you all right?

Ar... ga...

He's alive...

Stay with me!

Jil-sama!

Jil-sama, hurry!

Ishteli, Zel, Mona...

Those who gather in the oblivion of water and air...

Are you all right?

Don't touch me.

I can walk just fine by myself!

I am Kaaya.

May I ask what your name is?

Gigi.

Gigi...

Geezer?

Master!

Excuse me, but are you of the house of Hegal?

Ahmey-san, do you know him?

Gigi Hegal, son of Addu.

He was once a famous Guardian.

Oh, my...

Quit blabbing about trivial things, fool.

What are you doing in this Tower, Gigi-san?

I've come to see my idiot son.

Wow, that's amazing.

Looks like we can camp here without freezing.

300 gilda!

That's too much! Lower it a bit, will ya?

Out of the way, mister!

That's my wallet!

Wait!

Hey! Get back here, Yury!

My entire savings...

I got this.

That's nothing.

Take a look at this!

A wallet? Awesome!

The great Yury settles for nothing less.

Check it out, we're having rib roast tonight!

All right!

It's been so long!

That's it...?

There's no way they'd let a penniless person ride...

I understand it's an apparatus that uses lightning stones.

It's the Basket of Dingir.

We will be riding that tomorrow?

Yeah...

Those are sea peppers!

Coopa, how many times do I have to tell you? Those are...

The sea peppers which you hate so-so-so much. Lots of them.

Ahh! You know I hate them, so why are you putting them in?!

They are good for you.

What I don't like, I don't like!

I feel nauseous just looking at them!

But they're pretty tasty.

They're always in our food.

What did you say?!

I cut them up, or sometimes mash them.

I try hard every day to somehow get them into your mouth.

Coopa, you...!

You act like a gourmet, but your taste buds are nothing special, Master.

I don't want to hear that from someone who likes Babylim cucumbers!

First of all, have you ever done things for my sake?

Oh? Are you saying I have not?

Who quietly switches out your rods when you mistake them?

Who washes your spare underpants?

I can manage those somehow!

In that case, please try and manage! If you can, then by all means do!

Oh, I will! That's it, you're fired!

That is fine! I shall take leave now.

Whatever! Get out of here!

That pot belongs to the house of Fereydun!

So does that cutting board! And that knife!

What shall we do about dinner...?

Honestly... He ignores his own daily faults, and yet tries to talk all big...

He can't even wash his hair without a shampoo hat!

That's the wallet thief...!

Oh, you are...

You! What are you doing here!

Come, now. The flow of time is like a boat ride.

Are you eating by yourself, Ethana-san?

Where is your commander?

Sir Kelb is...

The Special Guard Unit washes all over!

The Special Guard Unit washes all over!

The Special Guard Unit washes all over!

The Special Guard Unit washes all over!

Mama...

You mustn't look!

Please don't ask...

Hey, kid! Give back Jil-sama's wallet!

Oww...

Hey, what do you mean, "kid"?

I am Yury, son of Arga! No outsiders allowed!

I, Coopa, have a duty to retrieve Jil-sama's wallet!

Wallet?

Oh, that lame wallet.

Umm...

Here.

Now, you give back that rock.

This is a big water tank.

You better not touch that! It'll go boom!

Boom?

You've seen the Basket of Dingir, right?

This is the engine which powers it.

Put that inside.

Just this once.

When I was little, I mined up all the lightning stones I could.

So... The village was much more lively, with many more people...

And I could eat my fill of delicious food.

But ever since the Summer of Anu, the mines are full of monsters...

And I can't even spare a single grain of lightning stone.

Hey! Are you even listening to me?!

Huh? Umm, so they're as valuable as Babylim lampery...

Hey!!

They are all inside the water...

But they are so pretty!

Look out, dummy! Get down, now!

D-Dummy?!

H-How long are you going to carry me?

Uh, ah... Sorry...

Thank you, Yury.

You're... a lot heavier than you look!

You must have a huge butt.

That is no way to address a lady! I would love to speak with your parents!

I don't have any parents.

Yes, Arga used to live in this village...

Who is Arga?

My son. He left here, blinded by the Tower's treasure.

Arge abandoned his village and family when the stones could no longer be mined.

If that weren't enough, he took the village treasure...

The Spear of Enki, and vanished.

My mom died from illness.

My dad...

Left.

Then, your father is still...

He went to a dangerous mine, all by himself.

For the village...

For us.

Everyone says he stole the spear and ran, though.

I have a secret plan.

I'm going to the mine to search for the Spear of Enki.

I'll find proof that my dad went to fight, and prove his innocence to everyone!

Now that you have told me, it is no longer a secret, is it?

Y-You can't tell anyone!

If they find out I'm going to the mine, I'll get no food for three days!

I guess I have no choice.

Right? That's how it is, so...

I, Coopa, shall go with you.

Coopa is?

Yury is with her.

He is Arga's only son.

Okay, I'll go look for him.

Huh? But...

He's my grandson.

Then I will, too.

That's right. An elderly man by himself...

Don't treat me like an old man!

Please let me go. I want to help.

Suits yourself.

I'm against it.

Why? Coopa is with him.

I don't care.

You really won't go?

Hey, Coopa! Keep up, it's dangerous!

Then we should wait until sunrise before leaving.

We are like something-or-other flying into a flame.

Don't order me.

You're the one who wanted to tag along.

Be quiet! The monsters will notice us!

Let go!

There are monsters this big out there!

I'll take care of them!

Think again!

It was right of me to come along.

This is why I cannot stand kids...

Who do you think you are? You're a kid too!

Don't look around.

Yes, sir!

Be more aware of your surroundings!

Yes, sir!

I said, don't look around!

Yes, sir!

...Well, which is it?

Both!

They've found us...

I-It's them...from earlier today!

I'll take them on!

Coopa! Number 5!

Pay attention!

Y-Yes, sir!

Gigi-san, the two of us can surely stop them!

Fool!

A Guardian's job is not simply to stop any and all attacks!

Watch!

What are you doing! Help out!

You told me to watch...

Fool! Hurry up!

Gigi-san!

Gigi-san!!

Zeema, Zehem, Ishtar... Formless scale of power...

Am I a kid, even with my knowledge, my cooking skill, and familiarity with explosives?

This isn't the time for that!

This way!

Even though I support my worthless master, and make a decent person out of him?

A kid is a kid, that's all there is to it.

Are you afraid? Don't worry, I'll protect you, Coopa!

That's what they call common sense...

We are sandwiched!

How is he?

I've given him emergency treatment but...

He's far from fully recovered...

It relies heavily on the person's natural healing ability.

So you're saying it doesn't work on an old geezer.

You shouldn't move yet!

We can't be wasting time here.

Yury!

G-Go on without me!

Are you okay?

Go, I said!

Hold on to me!

W-What are you doing?! Don't carry me like a girl!

Yes yes, I am very skilled at carrying people like a girl!

Put me down!

Yury, please stay here. I will think of something.

What do you mean, "something"? I said I'd protect you!

This is not a child's play!

I may be a kid, but I'm a boy!

I may be a girl, and a kid, on top of that...

But I am a Climber. I am used to this sort of thing.

Coopa! Don't, Coopa!

Coopa! Grab on!

Jil-sama...

Are you okay, Coopa?

Are you unharmed, Coopa?

Ahmey-sama...

Coopa-san, we've come for you.

Kaaya-sama...

Yury is still over there...!

They've started moving!

Let's save him! It's all or nothing!

Give it up.

All or nothing, you say?

You would endanger everyone with such vague preparation?

But...!

What is it you wish to protect with your shield?

Gigi-san...

What I wish to protect is everyone, and Coopa's delicious food!

R-Rod Number 5...

The situation calls for Rod Number 6!

L-Leo-im Rahman..

Noble glare of lightning!

Coopa!

Here!

You really can do it...

It's the Spear of Enki.

It is only the tip.

Over here!

This is definitely your father?

Arga...

Can you hear me?

Grandpa...

Our village was lost.

In the epidemic...

Your mother, and siblings...

Dad...

Although you were reckless...

And foolhardy...

And completely hopeless...

I see... You were trying to protect your family...

What will you do?

You cannot do anything without me, so please do not act so big.

Welcome back.

We don't need to worry about meals anymore.

The village head gave us this.

My, that looks tasty.

Yury! Take care!

Best wishes to you and your grandfather!

See you later!

Good luck, kid! See you later!!

Take care!

It was so hard without you around, Coopa-san.

Like the way the soup I made wandered...

That was... umm... creative?

It will be hard to get married that way.

You are not one to talk, Master.

If you are a man you should try protecting ten or twenty women.

W-What! I was voted Number One Most Eligible Bachelor in Babylim three years in a row!

Number one, indeed!

You cannot even sleep without your pink blanket you had since you were young!

Pink?

Yes!

Blanket?

Yes!

That was uncalled for! Get out of here, now!

I will not!

Calm down, both of you!

I am calm!

Get out, get out!

I said I will not!

Be careful!

Kelb here.

I bet there were a lot of female fans who got excited over my bathing scene!

I hear I have a lot of scenes next week as well!
