1
00:00:02,293 --> 00:00:03,628 
<i>Fushi.</i>

2
00:00:03,712 --> 00:00:06,297 
<i>A sphere that can
take on the form of others.</i>

3
00:00:07,507 --> 00:00:10,051 
My name is Hisame.
It is an honor to meet you.

4
00:00:10,135 --> 00:00:14,014 
<i>Those who sought to take Fushi away came.</i>

5
00:00:14,097 --> 00:00:15,932 
Hey, you over there.

6
00:00:16,516 --> 00:00:19,310 
<i>And so did those who fended them off.</i>

7
00:00:21,521 --> 00:00:24,274 
Those who have been poisoned

8
00:00:25,066 --> 00:00:26,860 
are strong against poisons.

9
00:00:27,444 --> 00:00:28,611 
You're Jananda's…

10
00:00:29,654 --> 00:00:30,947 
Tonari.

11
00:02:05,583 --> 00:02:10,171 
When I was young,
I often had my owl on my shoulder.

12
00:02:10,755 --> 00:02:15,593 
Every day, I would collect
the poison from its third talon.

13
00:02:15,677 --> 00:02:19,139 
I later learned that its poison
is similar to morning glory from the west.

14
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:22,267 
The girl with the owl, Tonari.

15
00:02:22,767 --> 00:02:24,769 
Grandmother mentioned you
in the documents she left.

16
00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:29,232 
Why are you here?
Aren't you the chief of Jananda?

17
00:02:29,315 --> 00:02:31,651 
I left my companions in charge

18
00:02:31,734 --> 00:02:34,195 
because I had other things I needed to do.

19
00:02:34,279 --> 00:02:37,782 
Well, since we're here,
I might as well give you a warning.

20
00:02:37,866 --> 00:02:40,034 
Leave Fushi alone.

21
00:02:40,118 --> 00:02:41,202 
I'm afraid I can't do that.

22
00:02:41,786 --> 00:02:44,038 
Fushi belongs to the Guardian Force.

23
00:02:44,122 --> 00:02:47,750 
Guardian Force? There's plenty
of your kind on Jananda as well.

24
00:02:47,834 --> 00:02:52,005 
I could turn a blind eye
so long as no harm came to Fushi,

25
00:02:52,088 --> 00:02:55,592 
but it's a different story
now that you've joined forces

26
00:02:55,675 --> 00:02:56,926 
with the Nokkers.

27
00:02:57,594 --> 00:02:59,137 
You know nothing of its capabilities.

28
00:02:59,220 --> 00:03:01,931 
The Nokkers will bring
danger to you and Fushi.

29
00:03:02,015 --> 00:03:03,516 
It wouldn't do such a thing!

30
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,896 
It's a precious friend I inherited
from my grandmother to connect to Fushi.

31
00:03:09,355 --> 00:03:11,316 
She's a scary lady, isn't she?

32
00:03:11,399 --> 00:03:13,401 
Trying to kill you.

33
00:03:13,484 --> 00:03:16,487 
But worry not. I'll protect you.

34
00:03:16,571 --> 00:03:19,073 
It has even controlled your mind.

35
00:03:19,157 --> 00:03:21,159 
I can take care of it in an instant.

36
00:03:27,707 --> 00:03:28,708 
Ligard!

37
00:03:52,190 --> 00:03:54,108 
Damn it! I can't uproot it!

38
00:03:57,946 --> 00:03:59,530 
No! I mustn't fall asleep!

39
00:04:01,532 --> 00:04:03,993 
Am I going to die here?

40
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:06,246 
Fushi!

41
00:04:07,330 --> 00:04:08,706 
Fushi!

42
00:04:09,791 --> 00:04:10,667 
Fushi…

43
00:04:15,463 --> 00:04:17,131 
You're awake.

44
00:04:18,216 --> 00:04:19,926 
I am the chief of this village.

45
00:04:20,009 --> 00:04:22,136 
It is an honor to meet you.

46
00:04:22,220 --> 00:04:23,471 
What happened last night?

47
00:04:24,514 --> 00:04:25,515 
I'll lead you to her.

48
00:04:35,566 --> 00:04:37,819 
Fushi, you made it!

49
00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:39,487 
What happened?

50
00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:42,740 
She was attacked while we were unconscious

51
00:04:42,824 --> 00:04:45,201 
by the Nokker in Hisame's left arm

52
00:04:45,785 --> 00:04:47,662 
What? Where's Hisame?

53
00:04:47,745 --> 00:04:50,081 
She was taken away by the Nokker.

54
00:04:50,748 --> 00:04:54,877 
The Nokker disliked her more than you.

55
00:04:56,879 --> 00:04:58,464 
Her body is hurting.

56
00:04:59,757 --> 00:05:01,843 
Hey! Do something to help her!

57
00:05:01,926 --> 00:05:03,803
{\an8}-Quick!
-Don't make that face.

58
00:05:04,595 --> 00:05:05,763
{\an8}Smile a little, okay?

59
00:05:09,726 --> 00:05:10,560 
Here.

60
00:05:13,062 --> 00:05:15,106 
Alcohol at a time like this?

61
00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:17,191 
There's nothing else I can do for her.

62
00:05:17,275 --> 00:05:19,736 
The Nokker opened up
a lot of holes inside her.

63
00:05:19,819 --> 00:05:23,156 
The only thing I can do is to get her
to cough out the blood pooling inside her.

64
00:05:23,239 --> 00:05:26,284 
So I thought I would let her
have her favorite liquor in the end.

65
00:05:26,826 --> 00:05:28,369 
No way.

66
00:05:28,453 --> 00:05:30,663 
<i>I failed to protect someone again.</i>

67
00:05:30,747 --> 00:05:32,707 
Don't worry, Fushi.

68
00:05:32,790 --> 00:05:34,500 
I'm feeling fine.

69
00:05:34,584 --> 00:05:37,253 
Can I do anything for you?

70
00:05:37,336 --> 00:05:40,048 
You want to do
something for this old lady?

71
00:05:40,131 --> 00:05:41,299 
That makes me happy.

72
00:05:41,799 --> 00:05:43,134 
Then,

73
00:05:43,217 --> 00:05:45,928 
will you stay by my side until I die?

74
00:05:46,012 --> 00:05:47,972 
Is that all?

75
00:05:49,766 --> 00:05:51,350 
That's enough.

76
00:05:52,477 --> 00:05:56,022 
I heard you kept yourself
secluded on that island.

77
00:05:56,105 --> 00:05:58,441 
What have you been doing
for the past 40 years?

78
00:05:58,524 --> 00:06:01,444 
I fought the Nokkers and ate them.

79
00:06:01,527 --> 00:06:02,987 
-Is that all?
-No.

80
00:06:03,071 --> 00:06:08,451 
I tried to test how long
I could live in my form.

81
00:06:09,035 --> 00:06:12,330 
<i>I trained in the bow and arrow
and strengthened my body,</i>

82
00:06:12,413 --> 00:06:14,415 
<i>but I still failed
to find something I was good at.</i>

83
00:06:14,999 --> 00:06:16,959 
Why didn't you leave the island?

84
00:06:17,460 --> 00:06:21,756 
It's because I didn't want
to see anyone else die.

85
00:06:23,424 --> 00:06:26,803 
I lived with a friend named Pioran.

86
00:06:27,637 --> 00:06:29,180 
<i>After she died,</i>

87
00:06:30,223 --> 00:06:31,641 
<i>I figured</i>

88
00:06:32,350 --> 00:06:36,687 
<i>I wouldn't get hurt
if I didn't meet anyone else anymore.</i>

89
00:06:39,565 --> 00:06:42,610 
I can't stop people from dying.

90
00:06:42,693 --> 00:06:44,487 
I couldn't protect them,

91
00:06:44,570 --> 00:06:46,447 
and many died because of me.

92
00:06:46,531 --> 00:06:51,077 
Are you going to keep
living like that moving forward?

93
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,036 
If I can.

94
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,540 
But you came running when you heard
this village was under attack.

95
00:06:56,249 --> 00:06:57,250 
I think

96
00:06:57,834 --> 00:07:00,253 
you need people who understand you.

97
00:07:00,336 --> 00:07:03,798 
You need friends.

98
00:07:04,382 --> 00:07:05,591 
I can't.

99
00:07:06,175 --> 00:07:10,054 
I don't want their help
if it means sacrificing them.

100
00:07:10,138 --> 00:07:12,890 
Everyone experiences the death
of their friends and comrades.

101
00:07:12,974 --> 00:07:15,643 
It's not something only you go through.

102
00:07:15,726 --> 00:07:16,769 
No.

103
00:07:16,853 --> 00:07:20,523 
Everyone dies, but I live,
and that'll keep happening.

104
00:07:21,107 --> 00:07:22,942 
I can live just fine on my own.

105
00:07:23,025 --> 00:07:24,235 
I don't need friends.

106
00:07:24,819 --> 00:07:26,446 
Hey, Fushi.

107
00:07:26,529 --> 00:07:31,451 
I want to see the people you've met.

108
00:07:32,702 --> 00:07:35,288 
It's the last request

109
00:07:35,371 --> 00:07:36,706 
of someone who's dying.

110
00:07:36,789 --> 00:07:39,208 
All right. But don't freak out.

111
00:07:40,877 --> 00:07:44,005 
This is the first person I met.

112
00:07:44,088 --> 00:07:46,424 
He was very young.

113
00:07:46,507 --> 00:07:47,592 
I didn't know his name.

114
00:07:47,675 --> 00:07:49,427 
When he died,
it was as if he'd fallen asleep.

115
00:07:50,011 --> 00:07:51,888 
I couldn't do anything
for him at that time.

116
00:07:53,556 --> 00:07:55,433 
Then, I met March.

117
00:07:55,933 --> 00:07:58,561 
She took care of me when I was helpless.

118
00:07:59,645 --> 00:08:02,356 
Parona did everything to protect March

119
00:08:02,857 --> 00:08:05,651 
but both of them were killed by Hayase.

120
00:08:06,611 --> 00:08:08,446 
I met Gugu in Takunaha.

121
00:08:08,946 --> 00:08:11,365 
He fought the Nokkers for me,

122
00:08:11,866 --> 00:08:12,867 
and because of that,

123
00:08:14,076 --> 00:08:17,205 
I took him away from his brother, Shin.

124
00:08:19,373 --> 00:08:22,168 
Gugu had a family.

125
00:08:22,251 --> 00:08:24,670 
Grandpa Beer and…

126
00:08:24,754 --> 00:08:26,005 
Rean.

127
00:08:29,425 --> 00:08:31,594 
What's wrong, Mr. Fushi?

128
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:34,805 
After that, I arrived in Jananda.

129
00:08:34,889 --> 00:08:35,932 
There,

130
00:08:36,599 --> 00:08:38,643 
I fought a strong guy named Nando.

131
00:08:39,143 --> 00:08:42,230 
He sacrificed his life for his brother.

132
00:08:42,730 --> 00:08:44,065 
He was an honorable man.

133
00:08:45,191 --> 00:08:48,736 
So I decided to save
the people of Jananda.

134
00:08:49,654 --> 00:08:53,658 
There were many others who fought with me.

135
00:08:54,575 --> 00:08:55,660 
Uroy,

136
00:08:56,577 --> 00:08:57,411 
Mia,

137
00:08:58,204 --> 00:08:59,622 
Oopa,

138
00:08:59,705 --> 00:09:00,540 
and also

139
00:09:01,123 --> 00:09:02,917 
Sandel and Tonari.

140
00:09:06,837 --> 00:09:08,047 
They're alive.

141
00:09:08,548 --> 00:09:10,424 
They're still alive!

142
00:09:12,176 --> 00:09:13,553 
That's great to hear.

143
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:16,222 
Are you all right?

144
00:09:24,188 --> 00:09:25,898 
Fushi,

145
00:09:25,982 --> 00:09:28,484 
what was Tonari like?

146
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:31,028 
Tonari? She was…

147
00:09:31,529 --> 00:09:35,074 
I've always thought she was annoying, but…

148
00:09:36,117 --> 00:09:38,828 
She brought me friends
who fought alongside me.

149
00:09:40,496 --> 00:09:43,666 
Do you still think it would've been better
if she had minded her own business?

150
00:09:43,749 --> 00:09:45,251 
I'm grateful to her now.

151
00:09:45,793 --> 00:09:48,170 
You don't hate her anymore?

152
00:09:48,671 --> 00:09:49,589 
I don't.

153
00:09:52,550 --> 00:09:53,509 
Fushi.

154
00:09:54,135 --> 00:09:56,345 
Remember more often

155
00:09:57,013 --> 00:09:58,973 
the time when everyone was still alive.

156
00:09:59,557 --> 00:10:03,894 
Just that will make us
feel glad that we lived.

157
00:10:15,364 --> 00:10:17,950 
What are your plans after this, Mr. Fushi?

158
00:10:18,034 --> 00:10:19,243 
I haven't decided yet.

159
00:10:19,327 --> 00:10:20,369 
I see.

160
00:10:21,162 --> 00:10:25,124 
I will return home
to inform the others of her passing.

161
00:10:25,708 --> 00:10:27,710 
When you face the Guardian Force again,

162
00:10:27,793 --> 00:10:29,837 
please turn into her.

163
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:35,051 
For your sake, she made
her body resistant to poison.

164
00:10:35,134 --> 00:10:36,427 
For me?

165
00:10:36,510 --> 00:10:39,180 
Why? Who are you guys?

166
00:10:39,263 --> 00:10:41,557 
I'm sorry. I can't tell you.

167
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:43,351 
It was her request.

168
00:10:43,434 --> 00:10:45,770 
She said it would be embarrassing.

169
00:10:45,853 --> 00:10:47,313 
At least tell me your names.

170
00:10:47,897 --> 00:10:51,275 
She and I are just people who love you.

171
00:10:52,193 --> 00:10:55,488 
A hundred arrows are better than one.

172
00:10:55,571 --> 00:11:00,701 
Your friends didn't live to make you sad.

173
00:11:01,285 --> 00:11:02,119 
Farewell.

174
00:11:13,672 --> 00:11:14,590 
Miss Tonari,

175
00:11:15,216 --> 00:11:17,343 
where are you now?

176
00:11:18,135 --> 00:11:21,055 
Do you still have any regrets?

177
00:11:51,043 --> 00:11:55,798 
<i>For your sake, she made
her body resistant to poison.</i>

178
00:11:58,467 --> 00:12:01,011 
<i>So that was why…</i>

179
00:12:01,095 --> 00:12:05,057 
<i>You need friends.</i>

180
00:12:06,725 --> 00:12:09,061 
<i>A hundred arrows are better than one.</i>

181
00:12:16,193 --> 00:12:17,945 
Friends, huh?

182
00:12:33,252 --> 00:12:36,088 
<i>Should I look
for people who understand me?</i>

183
00:12:36,172 --> 00:12:39,049 
<i>But I don't like being around people.</i>

184
00:12:39,133 --> 00:12:40,509 
I bring good news.

185
00:12:40,593 --> 00:12:42,052 
Nokkers have appeared.

186
00:12:42,136 --> 00:12:45,097 
In two places that
you cannot reach by foot.

187
00:12:45,598 --> 00:12:46,974 
How is that good news?

188
00:12:47,057 --> 00:12:53,522 
That will stop you from making
excuses to hide yourself away.

189
00:12:53,606 --> 00:12:55,524 
They're attacking others instead of me.

190
00:12:55,608 --> 00:12:58,235 
What are they trying to do to this world?

191
00:12:58,319 --> 00:12:59,987 
Why are they doing this?

192
00:13:00,070 --> 00:13:01,155 
Who knows?

193
00:13:01,238 --> 00:13:04,283 
The only possibility I can think of
is that perhaps they are envious.

194
00:13:04,366 --> 00:13:07,536 
I can't believe there's
something even you don't know.

195
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:10,873 
I don't have the ability to control minds,

196
00:13:10,956 --> 00:13:13,250 
so I cannot perceive their thoughts.

197
00:13:13,334 --> 00:13:15,628 
But you can control bodies, can't you?

198
00:13:15,711 --> 00:13:17,421 
So stop them!

199
00:13:17,505 --> 00:13:19,089 
Don't you have any ideas about this?

200
00:13:19,173 --> 00:13:23,177 
If you wish to stop the Nokkers,
that is for you to figure out next.

201
00:13:24,011 --> 00:13:25,888 
Stop changing the subject and help me!

202
00:13:28,307 --> 00:13:29,391 
He ran off!

203
00:13:30,392 --> 00:13:32,353 
So this is where you were, Fushi.

204
00:13:33,771 --> 00:13:34,730 
Hisame?

205
00:13:34,813 --> 00:13:35,814 
Are you all right?

206
00:13:35,898 --> 00:13:37,942 
When I woke up,
I found myself in the forest.

207
00:13:38,025 --> 00:13:41,737 
But this led me to you.

208
00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:45,115 
What did I do?

209
00:13:45,699 --> 00:13:47,201 
I can't remember anything.

210
00:13:48,994 --> 00:13:50,454 
It's better to get rid…

211
00:13:50,538 --> 00:13:52,248 
…of that thing in your arm, after all.

212
00:13:52,748 --> 00:13:54,708 
Please stop! You're scaring me!

213
00:13:54,792 --> 00:13:56,377 
I don't like that form!

214
00:13:56,460 --> 00:13:58,212 
It's hurting you.

215
00:13:58,295 --> 00:14:01,674 
It doesn't matter.
I've given it my left arm.

216
00:14:01,757 --> 00:14:03,384 
Don't be ridiculous!

217
00:14:07,179 --> 00:14:11,475 
No. There are still things I must do.

218
00:14:14,895 --> 00:14:18,899 
It seems that this is the end.
My body cannot take any more.

219
00:14:19,525 --> 00:14:23,028 
This will be the last time
we see each other.

220
00:14:27,408 --> 00:14:29,702 
I'll take you back to your group.

221
00:14:31,579 --> 00:14:32,454 
Follow me.

222
00:14:34,290 --> 00:14:35,124 
Fushi…

223
00:14:39,044 --> 00:14:41,130 
Here's some cloth.
Use it to bandage your arm.

224
00:14:41,213 --> 00:14:42,798 
Thank you.

225
00:14:42,882 --> 00:14:45,926 
Their scent is close.
We should reach them tomorrow.

226
00:14:47,094 --> 00:14:48,846 
No! Be good.

227
00:14:48,929 --> 00:14:51,765 
What are you going to do after you return?

228
00:14:51,849 --> 00:14:53,851 
I will do my best
to maintain the Guardian Force.

229
00:14:53,934 --> 00:14:54,810 
Maintain?

230
00:14:54,894 --> 00:14:56,729 
One day, I will have children

231
00:14:56,812 --> 00:14:58,355 
and pass my…

232
00:14:58,439 --> 00:15:01,317 
No. Hayase's blood
to the future generation.

233
00:15:02,067 --> 00:15:03,402 
I don't understand.

234
00:15:07,823 --> 00:15:10,200 
This is our last day together,

235
00:15:10,284 --> 00:15:12,244 
so I'll be honest with you.

236
00:15:13,829 --> 00:15:16,415 
Hayase had a wish.

237
00:15:17,124 --> 00:15:21,712 
A secret goal beyond the normal activities
of the Guardian Force.

238
00:15:21,795 --> 00:15:25,090 
A goal shared only among her kin.

239
00:15:25,174 --> 00:15:26,008 
Fushi,

240
00:15:26,592 --> 00:15:29,470 
I want to bear your child.

241
00:15:30,512 --> 00:15:31,430 
That's your goal?

242
00:15:31,513 --> 00:15:32,473 
Yes.

243
00:15:32,556 --> 00:15:35,601 
Will you leave me alone
once you achieve it?

244
00:15:35,684 --> 00:15:37,561 
I don't know, but…

245
00:15:37,645 --> 00:15:40,648 
my mother and my deceased
grandmother would probably be satisfied.

246
00:15:40,731 --> 00:15:44,109 
I don't know how to make children though.

247
00:15:44,193 --> 00:15:47,321 
My mother said
we just need to sleep together.

248
00:15:47,404 --> 00:15:48,656 
That's all?

249
00:15:48,739 --> 00:15:50,658 
I've slept with a lot of people before,

250
00:15:50,741 --> 00:15:52,368 
and we've never had any kids!

251
00:15:52,451 --> 00:15:56,330 
It appears that girls can only get
pregnant once they reach a certain age,

252
00:15:56,413 --> 00:15:58,958 
and they must want a child
in order for it to happen.

253
00:15:59,041 --> 00:16:00,542 
Is that all right?

254
00:16:00,626 --> 00:16:04,004 
Mother says I'm still young,

255
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:06,173 
but I'll do my best to carry a child.

256
00:16:06,966 --> 00:16:10,636 
If that'll get you guys
to lose interest in me…

257
00:16:13,681 --> 00:16:15,099 
Thank you.

258
00:16:15,599 --> 00:16:18,060 
Now I can return with my head held high.

259
00:16:18,143 --> 00:16:20,688 
Remember to tell that thing in your arm

260
00:16:20,771 --> 00:16:23,315 
to attack me when it can talk.

261
00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:25,734 
I'm sure it heard you.

262
00:16:25,818 --> 00:16:29,488 
Now, please go to sleep, Fushi.

263
00:16:33,867 --> 00:16:38,580 
<i>I guess she needs someone
to understand her and help her too.</i>

264
00:16:50,092 --> 00:16:51,885 
Miss Hisame!

265
00:16:51,969 --> 00:16:54,263 
Miss Hisame! Where are you?

266
00:16:58,934 --> 00:17:00,811 
She fainted on the side of the road.

267
00:17:00,894 --> 00:17:02,980 
She's still alive, but her arm is rotting.

268
00:17:03,063 --> 00:17:04,690 
You must remove it quickly and treat her--

269
00:17:04,773 --> 00:17:05,774 
Miss Hisame!

270
00:17:07,234 --> 00:17:09,111 
-She's unconscious! Hurry!
-Are you listening?

271
00:17:09,194 --> 00:17:11,530 
-We can't let her die!
-Heal her arm!

272
00:17:11,613 --> 00:17:16,118 
And tell her parents
to take care of their daughter better…

273
00:17:17,327 --> 00:17:18,245 
Wait.

274
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:21,957 
I could kill a child like her
whenever I want to.

275
00:17:22,750 --> 00:17:23,584 
Let's go!

276
00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:29,089 
Next time, it might be your
and Hisame's child that comes to find you.

277
00:17:29,173 --> 00:17:30,924 
That won't happen.
I didn't sleep with her.

278
00:17:31,508 --> 00:17:33,886 
Your reproductive organs
are functioning normally.

279
00:17:33,969 --> 00:17:36,180 
If you wish to try it out,
you only need to go to a town.

280
00:17:36,847 --> 00:17:38,140 
What are you going on about?

281
00:17:38,724 --> 00:17:41,143 
Sorry. It seems you do not understand.

282
00:17:41,226 --> 00:17:44,563 
It was only a proposal
for you to head to a town.

283
00:17:45,439 --> 00:17:49,068 
You're right. The Nokkers
will find me no matter where I am.

284
00:17:49,818 --> 00:17:52,446 
If so, it wouldn't hurt to look
for people who can understand me.

285
00:17:53,113 --> 00:17:55,157 
Then, let's go to the town!

286
00:17:57,951 --> 00:17:59,495 
-Race you!
-Wait for me!

287
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,668 
These are coins from another country.

288
00:18:06,752 --> 00:18:09,004 
You can't use them here.

289
00:18:09,088 --> 00:18:10,631 
Please buy this sword from me then.

290
00:18:11,131 --> 00:18:13,217 
I'll pay you one silver coin for it.

291
00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:14,134 
Sure.

292
00:18:15,010 --> 00:18:17,054 
-I want one of those.
-That'll be three silver coins.

293
00:18:17,137 --> 00:18:19,515 
I'll need two more swords for that.

294
00:18:19,598 --> 00:18:20,432 
Here.

295
00:18:21,475 --> 00:18:23,894 
<i>New food. This tastes great.</i>

296
00:18:25,813 --> 00:18:28,690 
<i>I haven't slept on a down bed in forever.
This feels great!</i>

297
00:18:28,774 --> 00:18:30,609
{\an8}<i>Towns are great.</i>

298
00:18:31,235 --> 00:18:32,236
{\an8}<i>This is great!</i>

299
00:18:32,736 --> 00:18:35,239 
<i>I came to a town in search
of people who understand me,</i>

300
00:18:35,322 --> 00:18:40,327 
<i>but I still worry that I might put
the people around me in danger.</i>

301
00:18:43,664 --> 00:18:46,375
{\an8}<i>There's a rule I have to follow
to stay in a town peacefully.</i>

302
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:51,046
{\an8}<i>Based on my experience living
on the island, the Nokkers will show up</i>

303
00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:53,298 
<i>if I stay in the same area for seven days.</i>

304
00:18:53,841 --> 00:18:56,426 
<i>The first and second days are safe.</i>

305
00:18:56,510 --> 00:18:58,262 
<i>Things begin to happen on the third day.</i>

306
00:18:58,345 --> 00:19:00,264 
<i>Even if they aren't visible,</i>

307
00:19:00,347 --> 00:19:03,433 
<i>the Nokkers will plant
their seeds in rocks and plants.</i>

308
00:19:04,685 --> 00:19:06,436 
<i>So even if I enter a town,</i>

309
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,856 
<i>I'll need to leave before the third day.</i>

310
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:13,152 
<i>On the fourth day, I'll have to set out.
Never stay in the same place for long.</i>

311
00:19:13,777 --> 00:19:18,073 
<i>I would run into a Nokker
once every six months or so.</i>

312
00:19:18,615 --> 00:19:19,449 
<i>But…</i>

313
00:19:19,533 --> 00:19:21,660 
Nine lives were lost.

314
00:19:21,743 --> 00:19:25,038 
<i>In places where I cannot reach,
people are still getting hurt.</i>

315
00:19:25,122 --> 00:19:26,999 
<i>That is the one thing I regret.</i>

316
00:19:27,499 --> 00:19:31,378 
<i>If I work with someone,
I might be able to save more people.</i>

317
00:19:31,461 --> 00:19:33,672 
<i>I hope I can find friends soon.</i>

318
00:19:35,132 --> 00:19:38,010 
<i>I drifted from one town to another,</i>

319
00:19:38,093 --> 00:19:42,598 
<i>collecting food, books, useful tools,</i>

320
00:19:43,682 --> 00:19:45,726 
<i>and other things like animals and insects.</i>

321
00:19:45,809 --> 00:19:48,312 
<i>If I don't memorize them,
I can't create them.</i>

322
00:19:49,146 --> 00:19:51,231 
<i>Four months after I began my journey,</i>

323
00:19:51,815 --> 00:19:53,483 
<i>I learned of Ligard's death.</i>

324
00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:59,656 
<i>It must have returned
to Tonari's side now.</i>

325
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,118 
<i>I feel jealous of Ligard,
who could return to its friend.</i>

326
00:20:05,454 --> 00:20:07,497 
<i>I didn't make much
progress finding friends.</i>

327
00:20:08,123 --> 00:20:10,584 
<i>Even if I met good people
who understood me,</i>

328
00:20:11,084 --> 00:20:13,170 
<i>I couldn't bring myself to reach out</i>

329
00:20:13,253 --> 00:20:15,255 
<i>whenever I recall that
they might die because of me.</i>

330
00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:20,469 
<i>To me, friends are something
I held after they departed.</i>

331
00:20:21,053 --> 00:20:23,096 
<i>I couldn't communicate with them.</i>

332
00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:24,765 
<i>Even if I try to talk to them in my mind,</i>

333
00:20:24,848 --> 00:20:27,226 
<i>they only respond
with words I already know.</i>

334
00:20:27,768 --> 00:20:30,187 
<i>These are my only true friends.</i>

335
00:20:30,729 --> 00:20:31,939 
Greetings, Fushi.

336
00:20:32,022 --> 00:20:33,941 
I am the vice-captain
of the Guardian Force, Oumi.

337
00:20:35,234 --> 00:20:37,611 
The Guardian Force is still active?

338
00:20:37,694 --> 00:20:38,570 
Yes.

339
00:20:38,654 --> 00:20:42,366 
We are recruiting allies and comrades
all across the Hena Continent.

340
00:20:42,449 --> 00:20:45,577 
Those who accept our activities
put up that flag

341
00:20:45,661 --> 00:20:47,829 
to show that they are under our protection

342
00:20:47,913 --> 00:20:51,875 
and are prepared to engage
the Nokkers should they attack.

343
00:20:51,959 --> 00:20:55,754 
Once the Nokkers show up,
the citizens will fight with us.

344
00:20:56,255 --> 00:20:59,716 
For that thing in your arm,
doesn't that mean betraying its own kind?

345
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,343 
Won't it resist?

346
00:21:01,426 --> 00:21:04,972 
Sometimes, it hesitates.

347
00:21:05,055 --> 00:21:07,349 
But unlike the other Nokkers,

348
00:21:07,432 --> 00:21:09,101 
this one is cooperative.

349
00:21:09,184 --> 00:21:11,103 
Are you Hisame's daughter?

350
00:21:11,186 --> 00:21:13,313 
Yes. My mother was under your care.

351
00:21:14,481 --> 00:21:16,400 
Please rest assured.

352
00:21:16,483 --> 00:21:19,194 
My mother gave birth to me
when she was 17.

353
00:21:19,278 --> 00:21:23,490 
I heard you're a kind person
who stayed with her through her suffering

354
00:21:23,573 --> 00:21:24,783 
when she was young.

355
00:21:24,866 --> 00:21:25,867 
Well…

356
00:21:26,535 --> 00:21:28,996 
She passed away half a year ago,

357
00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:34,584 
and my child will carry on Hayase's will.

358
00:21:34,668 --> 00:21:37,504 
She'll be under your care then.

359
00:21:38,714 --> 00:21:39,798 
Got it.

360
00:21:39,881 --> 00:21:43,760 
<i>Hayase's descendants continued
to come to me one after another.</i>

361
00:21:43,844 --> 00:21:47,514 
I am the second successor, Ushio.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.

362
00:21:48,765 --> 00:21:49,808 
Don't touch me!

363
00:21:49,891 --> 00:21:51,143 
Hello.

364
00:21:51,226 --> 00:21:53,645 
I am the third successor, Chisui.

365
00:21:55,439 --> 00:21:57,816 
<i>They're a group of strange people</i>

366
00:21:57,899 --> 00:22:00,027 
<i>who deliberately pretend
as if they're close to me.</i>

367
00:22:01,403 --> 00:22:03,447 
<i>But whenever I turn into Tonari,</i>

368
00:22:03,530 --> 00:22:06,658 
<i>they get disappointed and leave me alone.</i>

369
00:22:06,742 --> 00:22:11,538 
<i>I enjoyed that and started
looking forward to their visits.</i>

370
00:22:11,621 --> 00:22:15,083 
<i>On the other hand, another frustrating
matter continued, much to my chagrin.</i>

371
00:22:15,167 --> 00:22:18,170 
Ten Nokkers appeared
in the northern mountains.

372
00:22:18,253 --> 00:22:20,630 
The Guardian Force
has eliminated all of them.

373
00:22:20,714 --> 00:22:21,548 
I see.

374
00:22:22,424 --> 00:22:25,552 
<i>The one who actually
countered the Nokkers wasn't me.</i>

375
00:22:25,635 --> 00:22:27,179 
<i>It was those girls.</i>

376
00:22:35,979 --> 00:22:37,939 
What books are you reading?

377
00:22:40,442 --> 00:22:43,320 
Mostly cookbooks and books on sewing.

378
00:22:43,403 --> 00:22:46,490 
"<i>How To Construct A Ship.</i>"
"<i>A Guide To Construction.</i>"

379
00:22:47,199 --> 00:22:50,535 
"<i>How To Produce Water.</i>"
This is a book about magic.

380
00:22:51,286 --> 00:22:53,288 
Are you reading these
because you cannot create them?

381
00:22:53,371 --> 00:22:55,165 
Who knows? Who are you?

382
00:22:56,166 --> 00:22:58,502 
I am the sixth successor, Kahaku.

383
00:22:59,544 --> 00:23:00,545 
A guy?

384
00:24:31,011 --> 00:24:32,721 
NEXT EPISODE

385
00:24:32,804 --> 00:24:36,266 
<i>Fushi started traveling with Kahaku,</i>

386
00:24:36,933 --> 00:24:40,437 
<i>the one who succeeded Hayase's will.</i>

387
00:24:41,062 --> 00:24:46,693 
<i>Fushi is revered and persecuted but
that doesn't stop the Nokkers from coming.</i>

388
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:52,449 
<i>As Fushi struggles,
a fascinating prince appears.</i>
