It's a beautiful story

21
00:01:31,210 --> 00:01:34,130
Goodness! How can this be?

22
00:01:34,130 --> 00:01:38,750
I am finally freed from the castle core
and I'm greeted by this state of ruin?!

23
00:01:38,750 --> 00:01:42,170
You call this handling things, Gou?!

24
00:01:42,170 --> 00:01:46,540
I understand your frustration,
but I did what I could.

25
00:01:46,540 --> 00:01:48,460
I have a hard time believing that!

26
00:01:48,460 --> 00:01:49,380
Yes, but...

27
00:01:49,380 --> 00:01:52,040
The crystal's name is Gou, then?

28
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,540
Seems like.

29
00:01:53,540 --> 00:01:55,920
Look at these carelessly kept records!

30
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,210
No! Wait! Don't read them!

31
00:01:58,210 --> 00:02:01,750
Bell, the chief assistant to
the Sun Castle's ruler, along with Gou,

32
00:02:01,750 --> 00:02:02,000
are apparently a type of
artificial lifeform called Mercurians.

33
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,420
Mercurian

34
00:02:04,630 --> 00:02:09,920
Putting aside the records,
why are our fuel reserves so low?

35
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:12,330
We shouldn't have used so much
in a mere millennium.

36
00:02:12,330 --> 00:02:14,830
Oh, do you, uhh, really want to know?

37
00:02:14,830 --> 00:02:15,790
Let's hear it!

38
00:02:15,790 --> 00:02:19,790
Remember how a human king built this castle?

39
00:02:19,790 --> 00:02:24,710
The miserable sod who locked me away
on some useless "mission," yes.

40
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:28,710
Well, he passed the castle on to prodigal nobles

41
00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:32,580
who sold our fuel to fund their ways.

42
00:02:32,580 --> 00:02:33,580
Excuse me?

43
00:02:33,580 --> 00:02:37,500
It still wasn't enough though,
so they sold off the castle itself.

44
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:39,830
It passed into the hands of the demigods...

45
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:42,580
I-I mean the angels!

46
00:02:42,580 --> 00:02:47,000
The castle was then used in their war,
running through our reserve supplies.

47
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,170
Ugh.

48
00:02:48,170 --> 00:02:52,000
Well, I'll see the family line of those
nobles cursed to the very end.

49
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,830
It's no fault of their descendants!

50
00:02:54,250 --> 00:02:57,830
We have hardly a drop of fuel left.

51
00:02:57,830 --> 00:02:59,290
Umm...

52
00:02:59,460 --> 00:03:00,290
Hmm?

53
00:03:00,290 --> 00:03:03,580
Ah, this is Kuzuden,
the current ruler of the castle.

54
00:03:03,580 --> 00:03:06,330
Oh, is that so? Pleasure to meet you.

55
00:03:06,330 --> 00:03:08,670
What happens if we run out?

56
00:03:08,670 --> 00:03:12,500
The castle will lose the ability to
remain airborne and immediately fall.

57
00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:13,460
What?

58
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:16,880
We have no landing gear, so
there's no telling what will happen.

59
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:17,880
You're kidding!

60
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,630
Can't you just add more fuel?

61
00:03:21,630 --> 00:03:23,880
It is not that easy!

62
00:03:24,420 --> 00:03:27,420
The castle runs on rare jewels.

63
00:03:27,420 --> 00:03:32,420
We need to collect special stones called
sun stones that constantly give off heat.

64
00:03:32,420 --> 00:03:34,880
That rare, huh?

65
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,290
I wonder if Michael has ever heard of them.

66
00:03:37,290 --> 00:03:38,880
Or maybe the Progenitor?

67
00:03:39,130 --> 00:03:44,000
We're better off determining where we will
cause the least damage when we crash.

68
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,130
No! How are we supposed to survive
down on the surface now?

69
00:03:49,130 --> 00:03:51,420
In the forest? No, the sea?

70
00:03:51,420 --> 00:03:53,210
We might crash into a mountain.

71
00:03:53,210 --> 00:03:55,380
I don't want to go to the mountains or the sea!

72
00:03:55,380 --> 00:03:57,790
The outside world is full of scary monsters!

73
00:03:57,790 --> 00:03:59,710
Think there's anything we can do?

74
00:03:59,710 --> 00:04:00,750
I do.

75
00:04:00,750 --> 00:04:01,540
Huh?

76
00:04:01,540 --> 00:04:03,920
This might be a "sun stone."

77
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,420
Oh, yes. It is in fact.

78
00:04:06,670 --> 00:04:08,170
Isn't that the hotstone we found
at the hot spring?

79
00:04:08,170 --> 00:04:10,540
Hotstone

80
00:04:10,540 --> 00:04:11,710
It is.

81
00:04:11,710 --> 00:04:14,420
I brought one because I imagined
it would be cold up here.

82
00:04:14,420 --> 00:04:18,290
These were once called sun stones
and considered a rarity,

83
00:04:18,290 --> 00:04:23,420
but today they are frequently mined
and regularly used as tools to keep warm.

84
00:04:23,420 --> 00:04:27,170
We can get more of these
by the hot springs in no time at all.

85
00:04:27,790 --> 00:04:29,630
If you wouldn't mind...

86
00:04:29,630 --> 00:04:31,750
My, how times have changed.

87
00:04:32,290 --> 00:04:35,880
We'll collect what hotstones we can.

88
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,130
How much do you require?

89
00:04:38,130 --> 00:04:42,170
However much Hakuren
can carry at once, for now.

90
00:04:42,170 --> 00:04:44,210
I'll carry however many barrels you want,

91
00:04:44,210 --> 00:04:46,710
but can I hop in the springs while I'm there?

92
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:49,830
I don't know, I feel like we should hurry.

93
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,630
How much longer will
your fuel keep you afloat?

94
00:04:52,630 --> 00:04:54,710
Three years, at least.

95
00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:57,250
What?! That's some good fuel efficiency.

96
00:04:57,250 --> 00:05:01,580
I guess it's not as big a rush as I thought,
but let's try to take care of this quickly.

97
00:05:01,580 --> 00:05:03,000
Very well.
Okay!

98
00:05:03,210 --> 00:05:05,670
Time for a bath!

99
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,080
Hiraku, if I may.

100
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:08,960
Hmm?

101
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,540
I've been consulting with Gou
and my people, see...

102
00:05:13,710 --> 00:05:17,750
Kuzuden has offered to serve
under the Great Tree Village.

103
00:05:17,750 --> 00:05:19,420
In what sense?

104
00:05:19,420 --> 00:05:21,460
He said he'd give us the Sun Castle

105
00:05:21,460 --> 00:05:24,750
in return for our assurance
his people are cared for.

106
00:05:24,750 --> 00:05:28,880
It's like we have new residents
who showed up in their own houses.

107
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,380
I see no reason we should treat them
any differently than past newcomers.

108
00:05:33,380 --> 00:05:35,080
Of course.

109
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,920
It's actually the castle
I'm more worried about.

110
00:05:38,130 --> 00:05:41,500
Who is the real owner of the castle now?

111
00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:44,630
I want to aid the people of the Sun Castle,

112
00:05:44,630 --> 00:05:47,630
but will that lead to problems later?

113
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,130
Goodness. Stop overthinking things.

114
00:05:52,420 --> 00:05:55,960
Who would come complaining
after abandoning it for all this time?

115
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,170
Plus, the former owners
were the demigods and-

116
00:05:59,170 --> 00:06:00,420
They're now extinct.

117
00:06:00,420 --> 00:06:01,170
But-

118
00:06:01,170 --> 00:06:02,500
Long extinct.

119
00:06:02,670 --> 00:06:06,500
If anyone comes with complaints,
tell them this:

120
00:06:06,500 --> 00:06:09,420
Let us settle this in battle.

121
00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:10,790
Come on, now...

122
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,670
Either way, you can't simply
abandon them, right?

123
00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:15,250
No, but...

124
00:06:15,250 --> 00:06:17,380
No need to second guess it then.

125
00:06:17,380 --> 00:06:18,210
Exactly!

126
00:06:18,210 --> 00:06:19,630
He's right.

127
00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:24,080
With everyone's support, I decided to
let the Sun Castle join our village.

128
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,290
Now if I may...

129
00:06:25,290 --> 00:06:26,040
Hmm?

130
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,710
Could you bring some of those
dungeon taters back for me?

131
00:06:29,710 --> 00:06:31,630
I want to make some new drink with them.

132
00:06:31,630 --> 00:06:34,130
He sure lives for his alcohol.

133
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,750
Once we had things sorted out,
we put them straight into effect.

134
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,670
As representative of his people,

135
00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:43,210
Kuzuden was given a scroll
to make it all official.

136
00:06:43,460 --> 00:06:48,080
I humbly accept the role of
representative leader of Village Four.

137
00:06:48,250 --> 00:06:50,420
Village Four is the official name,

138
00:06:50,420 --> 00:06:53,630
but feel free to keep calling it
the Sun Castle if you like.

139
00:06:53,630 --> 00:06:55,630
Understood!

140
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,040
The people of Village Four
swear our allegiance!

141
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,580
We will pour our very lives into
the work we do for the great Hiraku!

142
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,880
For Hiraku!

143
00:07:10,250 --> 00:07:13,670
I'd rather they work for
everyone's sake, not mine.

144
00:07:14,460 --> 00:07:17,210
With the official ceremony out of the way,

145
00:07:17,210 --> 00:07:22,330
next we worked not to overtake
the castle but overhaul it instead.

146
00:07:22,330 --> 00:07:27,750
Looking around the castle, we should
fortify the areas most likely to collapse.

147
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:34,130
We're better off repairing the homes we can,
rather than building them all anew.

148
00:07:34,130 --> 00:07:36,420
Good thinking. Let's do that.

149
00:07:36,420 --> 00:07:38,500
For now, our main focus should be

150
00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:41,630
preparing individual homes for all the people

151
00:07:41,630 --> 00:07:44,460
who crowded together in the castle.

152
00:07:45,250 --> 00:07:46,380
Mayor!

153
00:07:46,380 --> 00:07:49,920
I'm free to examine everything I find, right?!

154
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,880
Yeah. We were told we can
do with it what we like.

155
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,210
If there's anything we can still use...

156
00:07:56,380 --> 00:07:58,130
What could this be?

157
00:07:58,130 --> 00:07:59,960
Hang on! Let's treat things with care!

158
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Phew. That should do for now.

159
00:08:05,790 --> 00:08:08,170
A wonderful field, and with such speed!

160
00:08:08,170 --> 00:08:10,460
What sort of magic is this?

161
00:08:10,460 --> 00:08:13,920
Nothing too magical.
I simply used this hoe.

162
00:08:14,630 --> 00:08:16,580
What should we plant?

163
00:08:16,580 --> 00:08:18,250
Good question.

164
00:08:18,250 --> 00:08:21,420
Something that grows fast for now.

165
00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:24,380
But that's mostly leafy greens.

166
00:08:24,380 --> 00:08:25,960
What about turnips?

167
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,130
Good thinking!

168
00:08:27,130 --> 00:08:28,790
And cherry tomatoes, too.

169
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,460
Turnips! Turnips! Turnips!

170
00:08:30,460 --> 00:08:32,080
What is it he's doing, exactly?

171
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,000
Tomatoes! Tomatoes!

172
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,380
As long as he concentrates in that way,

173
00:08:35,380 --> 00:08:38,290
Cherry tomatoes!
he can grow vegetables without using any seeds.

174
00:08:38,290 --> 00:08:41,250
Is that how it works in this age?

175
00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:44,170
My understanding is far outdated.

176
00:08:44,170 --> 00:08:47,170
No, it's mostly just him, actually.

177
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,210
We also want to see what we can do
with the crops they already have.

178
00:08:53,210 --> 00:08:55,380
I've boiled some dungeon taters.
Boiled Dungeon Taters

179
00:08:55,380 --> 00:08:59,000
Hmm, they look a lot like taro root.

180
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,380
How do I put this to words?

181
00:09:03,380 --> 00:09:06,880
They're sticky yet
leave your mouth feeling gritty.

182
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,210
And they're bitter. Acrid, even.

183
00:09:10,750 --> 00:09:14,920
In an attempt to redeem the dungeon taters,
we tried adding some other flavors.

184
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,920
Time for some magic powder.

185
00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:20,080
Are these really the same dungeon taters?!

186
00:09:20,380 --> 00:09:22,380
What sort of miracle have you performed?

187
00:09:22,380 --> 00:09:24,210
I added some special curry spices.

188
00:09:24,210 --> 00:09:25,830
The most powerful of condiments.

189
00:09:25,830 --> 00:09:28,500
It's hard to beat the flavor of curry.

190
00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:32,790
We will experiment with further recipes.

191
00:09:32,790 --> 00:09:34,460
I appreciate it.
It's so good!

192
00:09:34,460 --> 00:09:37,960
We'll ask that they share enough dungeon
taters for that and Donovan's alcohol.

193
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,460
Very well.

194
00:09:39,630 --> 00:09:39,920
Dungeon Tater

195
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,380
Apparently, dungeon taters grow
well enough in the dark,

196
00:09:44,710 --> 00:09:48,540
but they might taste better
if we grow them in the sun.

197
00:09:48,540 --> 00:09:50,580
Might as well try them in the field.

198
00:09:51,460 --> 00:09:53,880
That is all we have for now.

199
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,580
Thanks.

200
00:09:55,750 --> 00:09:58,710
Goodness... Look at this!

201
00:09:58,710 --> 00:10:01,540
Need more? We could do another run?

202
00:10:01,540 --> 00:10:06,250
If we had this many sun stones
when the castle was first built,

203
00:10:06,250 --> 00:10:08,170
we would now rule the world!

204
00:10:08,170 --> 00:10:14,500
This is enough to boost mobility and
weapons several times over, isn't it, Gou?

205
00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:18,250
Yes, but the prodigal nobles
sold off all our weapons.

206
00:10:18,250 --> 00:10:19,630
They what?!

207
00:10:19,630 --> 00:10:22,170
Did this castle not go to war?

208
00:10:22,170 --> 00:10:25,380
How did they fight without weapons?

209
00:10:25,460 --> 00:10:25,540
Strategy

210
00:10:25,540 --> 00:10:28,380
We powered up the shields to their maximum,

211
00:10:28,380 --> 00:10:30,380
and rammed into enemy castles!

212
00:10:30,380 --> 00:10:31,750
A tackling castle?!

213
00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:33,380
Then the angels flew in with their spears.

214
00:10:33,380 --> 00:10:35,130
Close Combat

215
00:10:35,250 --> 00:10:38,830
I did wonder about the turbulence...

216
00:10:38,830 --> 00:10:41,460
Are we good, then? I'm hungry.

217
00:10:41,460 --> 00:10:43,130
You're all set.

218
00:10:43,130 --> 00:10:45,830
And there are lots of
curry flavored taters to enjoy.

219
00:10:46,580 --> 00:10:50,500
Apparently, the castle now had
enough fuel for several thousand years.

220
00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:54,040
Our next issue was figuring out
a means to travel to it from the surface.

221
00:10:54,210 --> 00:10:58,670
We made this using the blueprints
we found in the Sun Castle.

222
00:10:58,670 --> 00:11:00,960
This is our small-scale prototype.

223
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,000
That's the parachute you tried before, yes?

224
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
No, that's...

225
00:11:07,460 --> 00:11:09,040
...a hot air balloon.

226
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:09,960
Correct!

227
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,750
Apparently, this is how they once
transported goods to the castle.

228
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,040
Yeah, huh? I guess they did need
some means of transport.

229
00:11:20,170 --> 00:11:22,170
Someone sure seems excited.

230
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,170
We did it!

231
00:11:27,170 --> 00:11:29,500
That contraption gives it lift, hmm?

232
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:31,460
Now we just need to make a bigger one.

233
00:11:32,420 --> 00:11:34,710
Does it just float there?

234
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,960
How do you pilot a hot air balloon?

235
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,580
You can descend by lowering the flame.

236
00:11:40,580 --> 00:11:43,330
In fact, that is the only form of control.

237
00:11:43,330 --> 00:11:46,000
That means it can only go up and down.

238
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,330
Good point.

239
00:11:47,330 --> 00:11:50,170
How will it ever get where it needs to go?

240
00:11:50,170 --> 00:11:52,580
It would depend on the wind.

241
00:11:52,580 --> 00:11:55,000
Can we even make this one come back down?

242
00:11:55,460 --> 00:11:56,960
And now our pilot escaped.

243
00:11:58,170 --> 00:12:02,000
If they once used such means,
there must be some way.

244
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,330
Come on, think!

245
00:12:04,330 --> 00:12:07,460
At least we got it up. Let's take things slow.

246
00:12:07,460 --> 00:12:09,080
Hang on now!

247
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,130
Hey!

248
00:12:15,130 --> 00:12:16,500
Huh? Whoa!

249
00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:18,830
Head on inside. It's getting cold.

250
00:12:18,830 --> 00:12:20,040
Okay.

251
00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:23,000
We ought return to the village
before the snow piles up.

252
00:12:23,170 --> 00:12:24,880
Be mindful of mud patches.

253
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:25,880
Understood!

254
00:12:26,630 --> 00:12:30,460
While our hands were full dealing with things
between the castle and the village,

255
00:12:30,460 --> 00:12:32,080
winter had returned.

256
00:12:32,830 --> 00:12:37,830
The Sun Castle itself was perpetually
as warm and comfortable as spring.

257
00:12:38,250 --> 00:12:43,880
I suspect the king who built the castle
thought of it as a getaway for the winter.

258
00:12:44,250 --> 00:12:46,830
Mayor Hiraku, there you are!

259
00:12:47,750 --> 00:12:49,790
More fields, is it?

260
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,880
This is more of a flower garden.

261
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,920
Felt only right since it's always
warm as spring here.

262
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,080
What sort of vegetable is this?

263
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,040
It's not meant to be eaten.
These flowers are only decorative.

264
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,420
Is that so?

265
00:13:03,420 --> 00:13:07,130
We'd never thought to grow
anything but food.

266
00:13:07,130 --> 00:13:11,250
Fruit trees have both flowers and
delicious edible fruit, you know.

267
00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:12,540
Truly?!

268
00:13:12,540 --> 00:13:15,170
I focused on fast-growing crops first,

269
00:13:15,170 --> 00:13:17,670
but maybe we can plant some fruit trees too.

270
00:13:17,790 --> 00:13:20,420
Maybe bananas, since it's warm and tropical?

271
00:13:20,420 --> 00:13:22,790
Wait, are banana trees not technically trees?

272
00:13:22,790 --> 00:13:26,040
Are they actually vegetables,
like watermelon and strawberries?

273
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,830
Oh, I almost forgot!

274
00:13:27,830 --> 00:13:30,790
I wanted you to see something.

275
00:13:30,790 --> 00:13:31,830
Hmm?

276
00:13:33,750 --> 00:13:36,040
What is all this?

277
00:13:36,210 --> 00:13:38,580
It happened so fast.

278
00:13:38,580 --> 00:13:40,790
I left it unchecked for only three days.

279
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,960
It grew this much in just three days?!

280
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,000
These appear to be the dungeon tater vines.

281
00:13:47,250 --> 00:13:51,210
I didn't think a little sun would do this.

282
00:13:51,210 --> 00:13:54,500
Does that mean there are
lots of taters below ground?

283
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:56,130
If only...

284
00:13:57,170 --> 00:13:58,830
Figured as much.

285
00:13:58,830 --> 00:14:00,830
I don't see a single one.

286
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,380
I'd heard they weren't suited for sunlight.

287
00:14:04,380 --> 00:14:08,750
The leaves and vines grow too rapidly
and leave no nutrients for the potatoes.

288
00:14:08,750 --> 00:14:10,830
Hardly much use if they can't be eaten.

289
00:14:10,830 --> 00:14:13,080
Oh, might these be decorative as well?

290
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,130
Unfortunately, we need to pull them all up.

291
00:14:15,380 --> 00:14:18,380
The whole castle will be
covered in vines at this rate.

292
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,170
Here goes.

293
00:14:20,170 --> 00:14:21,330
Ready!

294
00:14:21,330 --> 00:14:27,960
Reconstruction and food production was
proceeding well in the warmth of the castle,

295
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:32,210
but we couldn't let ourselves
stay cooped up there.

296
00:14:32,380 --> 00:14:33,210
There you go.

297
00:14:33,210 --> 00:14:36,380
We had to ensure the other villages
were making it through the winter.

298
00:14:36,380 --> 00:14:38,170
Futon
Makura
Zabuton

299
00:14:38,170 --> 00:14:39,250
Oh no!

300
00:14:39,250 --> 00:14:40,670
Chilly.

301
00:14:41,330 --> 00:14:44,790
No matter how many times I try,
it never works.

302
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,130
Eww...

303
00:14:47,290 --> 00:14:50,630
No matter how many times we distill it,
it never loses that pungency.

304
00:14:50,630 --> 00:14:52,880
It tastes like drinking a rock.

305
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,130
Definitely doesn't feel refreshing.

306
00:14:56,130 --> 00:14:58,040
I think I'll admit defeat.

307
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,920
It's rude to the ingredients to force them
to become something they aren't.

308
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,130
Anne said she would look into
ways to cook them, too.

309
00:15:07,580 --> 00:15:12,790
We did all we could think of
to remove the astringency.

310
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,580
And this is what we were left with.

311
00:15:14,580 --> 00:15:16,790
That's konyaku!

312
00:15:17,670 --> 00:15:19,330
There, I sliced it up.

313
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,210
How did those potatoes become this?

314
00:15:23,210 --> 00:15:25,630
This is a nice surprise.

315
00:15:25,630 --> 00:15:29,830
I think the actual plant used to make
konyaku can't be eaten as-is either.

316
00:15:29,830 --> 00:15:33,460
I thought I'd perhaps created
a new form of slime.

317
00:15:33,460 --> 00:15:33,960
Potato Slime

318
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,750
I guess I can see why.

319
00:15:39,750 --> 00:15:42,000
The Sun Castle approached us
from the southeast,

320
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,630
but now it floats to the north.

321
00:15:44,630 --> 00:15:48,130
Apparently, its pilot feels uneasy
staying permanently in place,

322
00:15:48,130 --> 00:15:49,880
so from now on it will stay

323
00:15:50,130 --> 00:15:51,960
in the north during winter,

324
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,210
the west during spring,

325
00:15:53,210 --> 00:15:54,460
the south during summer,

326
00:15:54,460 --> 00:15:55,750
and the east during fall.

327
00:15:55,750 --> 00:15:59,460
Circling the Great Tree Village
throughout the year.

328
00:15:59,790 --> 00:16:03,750
The direction of the Sun Castle
will mark how the year is progressing.

329
00:16:03,750 --> 00:16:05,920
Like a massive sort of calendar.

330
00:16:08,250 --> 00:16:09,790
Is he asleep?

331
00:16:09,790 --> 00:16:10,960
Fast asleep!

332
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,500
Thinking back on it now,

333
00:16:12,500 --> 00:16:14,710
what started off as building one new village

334
00:16:14,710 --> 00:16:18,580
quickly became two, then three.

335
00:16:18,580 --> 00:16:21,670
And now a fourth has flown to us.

336
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,580
I'm sure if I told myself from a year ago
all this, I wouldn't believe it.

337
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,040
Here we go!

338
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,170
Wow.

339
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,500
They sure are a lively bunch.

340
00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:39,290
Maybe I'm getting old, but kids
do seem meant for the outdoors.

341
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,170
Time continued rolling along.

342
00:16:43,540 --> 00:16:47,040
The Sun Castle moved from
north to near-west.

343
00:16:48,790 --> 00:16:50,130
Now Mayor...

344
00:16:50,130 --> 00:16:50,790
Hmm?

345
00:16:50,790 --> 00:16:52,920
I have a suggestion.

346
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,540
Let's hear it.

347
00:16:54,790 --> 00:16:57,670
We now have four villages of our own.

348
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,210
Perhaps it's time to create
something to show each village

349
00:17:01,210 --> 00:17:03,750
belongs to the Great Tree Village.

350
00:17:03,750 --> 00:17:05,080
Such as?

351
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:10,670
We now have the Sun Castle
and can expect our population to grow.

352
00:17:10,830 --> 00:17:15,750
Perhaps what we need is something in each
village which unites all who live there.

353
00:17:15,750 --> 00:17:19,460
Why don't we erect a statue of
the mayor in each village?

354
00:17:19,460 --> 00:17:21,920
One so big you have to
look up to see it all.

355
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,330
Uhh...

356
00:17:23,580 --> 00:17:25,670
Or put up portraits of the mayor.

357
00:17:25,670 --> 00:17:27,960
One in every household.

358
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:28,960
And we'll have them read aloud a poem
about the mayor every morning!

359
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,960
Mayor, Mayor, oh great Mayor.

360
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:32,540
No thanks, that's creepy.

361
00:17:32,540 --> 00:17:33,750
Mayor, Mayor, oh great Mayor.

362
00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:36,710
How am I supposed to
act around here with all that?

363
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,250
There's no need to play me up.

364
00:17:39,250 --> 00:17:41,080
I'm just the mayor.

365
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,500
That's the problem.

366
00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:43,500
Huh?

367
00:17:43,790 --> 00:17:46,750
We talked of creating
a hierarchy of titles

368
00:17:46,750 --> 00:17:47,000
High Mayor

369
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:47,500
to differentiate you
from the village leaders.

370
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:49,000
Great Mayor

371
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,040
King Mayor

372
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,420
But we never settled on a solution.

373
00:17:54,170 --> 00:17:56,750
That does sound familiar.

374
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,250
One True Mayor.

375
00:17:58,250 --> 00:17:59,790
Ultra Mayor.

376
00:17:59,790 --> 00:18:01,330
Mayor of Mayors?

377
00:18:01,330 --> 00:18:04,330
Great High Mayor of All Mayors?

378
00:18:04,330 --> 00:18:06,750
It needn't be that long.

379
00:18:06,750 --> 00:18:08,250
We should keep it simple.

380
00:18:08,580 --> 00:18:08,920
Like Emperor.

381
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:09,880
Emperor.

382
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,500
That's taking it too far!

383
00:18:11,750 --> 00:18:13,880
We should request a noble title
from the Demonic Kingdom.

384
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,330
Or have you recognized as a saint.

385
00:18:16,330 --> 00:18:17,710
A messenger of the gods.

386
00:18:17,710 --> 00:18:19,170
Our mayor is a deity.

387
00:18:19,170 --> 00:18:20,790
Put it all together
and it's something like this.

388
00:18:20,790 --> 00:18:21,630
Ultra Mayor Emperor Marquis of Hirakiel (God)

389
00:18:21,630 --> 00:18:24,040
You can't just lump those all together.

390
00:18:24,290 --> 00:18:29,540
I don't think it's right to lift
any individual up that high.

391
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,790
The most important thing in our village

392
00:18:32,790 --> 00:18:36,000
is that we all live together.

393
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,040
Hmm?

394
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,040
That's it.

395
00:18:39,830 --> 00:18:42,880
How's this for a village symbol?

396
00:18:43,420 --> 00:18:45,040
Excellent idea.

397
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,420
Let's ask the leaders of
all the village peoples.

398
00:18:48,420 --> 00:18:51,880
I'd like to keep the title of
mayor too, if I could.

399
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,290
Very well.
But do tell us if you change your mind.

400
00:18:55,830 --> 00:18:57,540
Good morning.

401
00:18:57,540 --> 00:18:59,040
Splendid.

402
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,790
Winter had melted away,

403
00:19:00,790 --> 00:19:03,790
and Zabuton's family returned
from hibernation.

404
00:19:04,130 --> 00:19:06,960
We can have no mistakes or oversights.

405
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,170
Let us remain focused on our work.

406
00:19:13,210 --> 00:19:14,040
How does it look?

407
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,460
Almost there...

408
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,290
That should do it!

409
00:19:20,460 --> 00:19:22,670
Everyone, listen up!

410
00:19:23,670 --> 00:19:27,830
It's finally time for us all to
come together for a grand feast.

411
00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:31,330
Let us enjoy ourselves and
get to know one another!

412
00:19:33,670 --> 00:19:38,290
Now, before we start, there's
something I want you all to see.

413
00:19:38,790 --> 00:19:41,460
What started with the Great Tree Village
now extends to Village One,

414
00:19:41,750 --> 00:19:42,960
Village Two,

415
00:19:43,250 --> 00:19:44,460
Village Three,

416
00:19:44,710 --> 00:19:47,580
and the Sun Castle, Village Four.

417
00:19:48,170 --> 00:19:51,380
Now, as a symbol of all our villages...

418
00:19:55,130 --> 00:19:56,750
Behold our flag!

419
00:19:58,420 --> 00:20:03,880
This isn't about which village is best
or who we must submit to.

420
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,630
It's a symbol of all of us living together.

421
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,380
A show of our companionship.

422
00:20:09,380 --> 00:20:11,130
The flag of a village for all!

423
00:20:14,790 --> 00:20:18,130
Let us toast to our flag!

424
00:20:18,130 --> 00:20:20,750
Cheers!

425
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:25,830
Wow, this stuff is strong.

426
00:20:25,830 --> 00:20:28,790
Drink up! I promise I'm not scary!

427
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,420
Got yourself a drink?

428
00:20:30,420 --> 00:20:31,710
Yes!

429
00:20:31,710 --> 00:20:33,790
So, this is the power of alcohol...

430
00:20:34,290 --> 00:20:35,380
Hmm...

431
00:20:35,750 --> 00:20:37,710
Dungeon taters, is it?

432
00:20:37,710 --> 00:20:40,040
Oh, how these take me back.

433
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:45,130
There was once a time when they were
suggested as a means against famine.

434
00:20:45,420 --> 00:20:49,460
Yet despite it all, none seemed
willing to consume them.

435
00:20:49,460 --> 00:20:52,170
But now we see them transformed.

436
00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:56,540
I hear a title was requested for the mayor.

437
00:20:56,540 --> 00:21:02,540
Yes, my daughter consulted me
regarding such, but the mayor declined.

438
00:21:02,540 --> 00:21:04,040
I would imagine so.

439
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:04,460
No title we grant would do him justice.

440
00:21:04,460 --> 00:21:05,750
I'm Lastismoon!

441
00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:07,380
And I'm little Dryme!

442
00:21:07,380 --> 00:21:09,250
I see you're enjoying your drinks.

443
00:21:09,250 --> 00:21:11,330
I went and got a refill!

444
00:21:11,500 --> 00:21:14,170
Why not make him one of the four generals?

445
00:21:14,170 --> 00:21:16,040
I'll quit to make space!

446
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,670
No, I'll quit and move here!

447
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,960
Enough of this nonsense!

448
00:21:21,170 --> 00:21:23,210
He could take my title as Demon Lord.

449
00:21:23,210 --> 00:21:25,210
Surely you kid!

450
00:21:25,460 --> 00:21:27,880
Hey, Mayor!
Want to try being Demon Lord?

451
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:28,210
Lord Galgardo!

452
00:21:28,210 --> 00:21:28,710
No, take my place!

453
00:21:28,710 --> 00:21:30,080
No, mine!

454
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,630
It's mixed with broth.

455
00:21:33,630 --> 00:21:36,080
Ah! That hits the spot.

456
00:21:36,380 --> 00:21:37,630
Here goes...

457
00:21:38,830 --> 00:21:40,580
That's hot!

458
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,460
Set 'em off!

459
00:21:44,710 --> 00:21:45,540
Boop!
Hup!

460
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,250
Lala lalalala...

461
00:21:48,250 --> 00:21:51,830
Today we are flying a special celebratory course.

462
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,250
Lala lalalala...

463
00:21:54,250 --> 00:21:55,830
Drunkenness.

464
00:21:56,130 --> 00:21:56,790
It means the world to be with you both!

465
00:21:56,790 --> 00:21:59,710
Lala lalalala...

466
00:21:59,710 --> 00:22:01,000
R-right...

467
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:01,630
Are you okay?

468
00:22:01,630 --> 00:22:02,250
Lala lalalala...

469
00:22:02,250 --> 00:22:03,500
Thank you!

470
00:22:05,130 --> 00:22:05,960
Enjoying yourself, King Hiraku?

471
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,170
A white cloud floating in the sky

472
00:22:08,170 --> 00:22:08,460
You talked to Flow, huh?

473
00:22:08,460 --> 00:22:10,080
The dazzling first star of the night

474
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:10,960
Why not let them call you what they want?

475
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,250
The sun goes down before you know it

476
00:22:13,250 --> 00:22:15,630
It's a sign of their respect.

477
00:22:15,630 --> 00:22:17,830
No thanks.
Even somewhat gloomy days

478
00:22:17,830 --> 00:22:18,080
Being mayor is hard enough.

479
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,500
Might get you one step closer

480
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:21,420
Tomorrow should be another good day

481
00:22:21,420 --> 00:22:24,080
Being in charge is not really my thing,

482
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:24,880
but I don't have much choice now.

483
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,290
As the wind blows gently by

484
00:22:26,290 --> 00:22:29,040
Now that we have all these people,

485
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:29,380
The heart is cleansed

486
00:22:29,380 --> 00:22:32,380
I need to make sure we all stay safe.

487
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:33,920
Same as you always have.

488
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,170
No matter what happens

489
00:22:35,170 --> 00:22:36,420
We're fine the way we are.

490
00:22:36,420 --> 00:22:38,000
I can keep at it

491
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,210
You don't have to change
just because your title does.

492
00:22:39,210 --> 00:22:42,040
As long as you are by my side

493
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,170
You're still you, right?

494
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:45,750
I guess so.

495
00:22:45,750 --> 00:22:45,920
Let's sing so we don't forget today

496
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,040
I know so!

497
00:22:48,750 --> 00:22:50,420
Papa!

498
00:22:50,420 --> 00:22:51,170
Oh! What do you need?

499
00:22:51,170 --> 00:22:54,420
So that we can smile again tomorrow

500
00:22:54,420 --> 00:22:55,330
Hey...

501
00:22:55,330 --> 00:22:55,830
He reeks of alcohol, huh?

502
00:22:55,830 --> 00:22:57,790
Even if we cry again sometime

503
00:22:57,790 --> 00:22:59,460
Wait, do I?

504
00:22:59,460 --> 00:23:00,500
I'm kidding. He's just tired.

505
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:01,960
I'll always be by your side

506
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,040
Isn't that right?

507
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,580
Did I hear tired?!

508
00:23:05,580 --> 00:23:05,920
Ready one, two, and three-let's dance!

509
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,210
We can be sleepy-weepy together!

510
00:23:08,210 --> 00:23:09,670
Who cares if we just watch and learn?

511
00:23:09,670 --> 00:23:10,630
Thanks!

512
00:23:10,630 --> 00:23:11,250
Make bad steps

513
00:23:11,250 --> 00:23:12,830
Lu, what are you doing?
Sleepy-weepy! Sweepy-weepy!

514
00:23:12,830 --> 00:23:13,920
It doesn't bother me

515
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,580
It's time we drink.

516
00:23:15,580 --> 00:23:15,830
I want us to sing a song

517
00:23:15,830 --> 00:23:17,790
Oh, gladly.

518
00:23:17,790 --> 00:23:18,000
And leave everyone smiling

519
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,830
Let's give it another go then!

520
00:23:20,250 --> 00:23:20,670
I hope these days last forever

521
00:23:20,670 --> 00:23:24,000
Cheers!

522
00:23:24,830 --> 00:23:29,670
These days together with you

523
00:23:30,420 --> 00:23:33,670
Lala lalalala...

524
00:23:33,670 --> 00:23:35,290
We'll be

525
00:23:35,290 --> 00:23:38,290
Lala lalalala...

526
00:23:38,290 --> 00:23:40,130
All right

527
00:23:40,130 --> 00:23:43,630
Lala lalalala...

528
00:23:43,630 --> 00:23:44,880
I'll always be by your side

529
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,080
All right. Let's get to it!
