**[00:22] Y**
I am a knight.
**[00:24] Y**
A knight is their blade.
**[00:27] Y**
And that blade is I.
**[00:32] Y**
I'm starting to understand that saying,
**[00:34] Y**
and why the word "person"
isn't included in it.
**[00:41] Gi**
Yatori, do you think I am flame?
**[00:45] Y**
Huh? You're just you, Shia.
**[00:48] Y**
My one partner in the world.
**[00:52] S**
Then I don't think you're a blade, either.
**[00:57] Y**
You're worried about me? Thank you.
**[01:00] Y**
It's all right.
**[01:02] Y**
I don't know if I'll ever reach
that state again, to be honest,
**[01:07] Y**
but remember how quickly
he just knocked me down
**[01:10] Y**
from the level of mastery
I'd worked so hard to reach?
**[01:15] Y**
As long as I'm around him,
**[01:18] Y**
I'll never completely become a blade.
**[01:23] Y**
It's been that way since back then.
**[01:30] Y**
Studying abroad?
**[01:34] Gi**
General Bada Sankrei told me himself.
**[01:38] Gi**
So, what will you do?
**[01:41] Y**
I'll go.
**[01:44] Y**
I hear he's at the forefront
of all military matters.
**[01:47] Gu**
If you want to do it,
**[01:50] Gu**
then it's settled.
**[01:52] Gu**
Go study hard.
**[01:58] Gu**
But, no matter what you learn,
**[02:01] Gu**
don't forget that you're an Igsem.
**[02:26] I**
Welcome to the world of science!

**[04:13] Y**
General Bada Sankrei.
**[04:16] Gu**
Call me Uncle Bada.
**[04:18] Gu**
What is it, Yatorishino-chan?
**[04:20] Y**
What's that all about?
**[04:23] Gu**
I'm sending my son up to fly.
**[04:26] Y**
As far as I can tell,
**[04:27] Y**
that balloon is very similar
to the ones used in Kioka.
**[04:32] Gu**
Want to try, too?
**[04:34] Y**
If you order me to, then gladly.
**[04:38] Gu**
I see.
**[04:39] Gu**
You're Solvenares Igsem's daughter, all right.
**[04:43] Y**
What does that mean?
**[04:46] Gu**
It means I underestimated his
style of education a little.
**[04:49] Gu**
Don't worry. It's my problem, not yours.
**[04:54] Gu**
My name is Anarai Kahn.
**[04:58] Gu**
I'm...
**[05:00] Gu**
well, you could call me the
representative of these scientists.
**[05:04] Y**
"Scientists?"
**[05:06] Gu**
Call me Dr. Anarai!
**[05:09] Gu**
Oh, Ikta!
**[05:10] Gu**
Take over for me.
**[05:12] I**
Sure, leave it to me.
**[05:14] Y**
Dr. Anarai, what is that?
**[05:19] Gu**
Egg yolks, milk, sugar, some cinnamon.
**[05:23] Gu**
Those have been mixed and added to
a vessel filled with frozen saltwater.
**[05:28] Y**
Doctor, may I ask something?
**[05:31] Gu**
Go ahead.
**[05:34] Y**
What is science, exactly?
**[05:37] Gu**
Very well.
**[05:39] Gu**
I'll start by describing a discussion
I had with a priest when I was younger.
**[05:44] Gu**
Nazuna, two cups of tea.
**[05:48] I**
Come on, Brother Bajin.
**[05:49] I**
Keep shaking!
**[05:50] Gu**
Why do I have to do this?
**[05:53] Gu**
So, that's how it is.
**[05:55] Gu**
Got it?
**[05:56] Y**
There were several words
I wasn't familiar with,
**[05:59] Y**
but I understood the gist.
**[06:01] Y**
"Science" is a field that attempts to
explain things that are, in theology,
**[06:07] Y**
explained as "acts of God,"
from another approach.
**[06:12] Gi**
She's pretty smart.
**[06:13] Gu**
Yes, I'm surprised, too.
**[06:17] I**
Now try eating it.
**[06:20] Y**
All right.
**[06:31] I**
Want some more?
**[06:34] Gu**
Well, "God"?
**[06:37] Gu**
Can't make this flavor, can you?
**[07:06] I**
Sorry.
**[07:07] I**
Swordfighting isn't really my thing.
**[07:11] Y**
I'm sorry.
**[07:13] Y**
I was so focused on my training
that I almost injured you.
**[07:18] I**
Well, I'm the one who interrupted you.
**[07:21] I**
Anyway, can you do something
about the way you talk?
**[07:24] Y**
Is the way I talk strange?
**[07:27] I**
It's not strange, but it's stiff.
**[07:29] I**
Stiffer than bricks!
**[07:32] I**
Even if you're using proper etiquette,
**[07:34] I**
shouldn't you try and be more casual
with kids your age?
**[07:39] Y**
I've actually never met anyone else my age.
**[07:45] I**
I can't even imagine what that must be like.
**[07:48] I**
So basically, you don't know
how to play, do you?
**[07:52] I**
Why don't you come play with me for a bit?
**[07:56] I**
Dad gave me this, you see.
**[08:02] Y**
What is this?
**[08:04] I**
Mission one:
**[08:06] I**
Make Major Guihan fall into a hole.
**[08:08] I**
He always comes by this way when
he washes his face in the morning.
**[08:17] Gu**
Just like I thought!
**[08:18] Gu**
A real hole next to a fake dummy one!
**[08:21] Gu**
Don't think you can make me fall
for the same trick over and over!
**[08:26] I**
I was sure you wouldn't find out.
**[08:28] Gu**
Now, since I've seen through
your trap, today you're—
**[08:33] I**
Yes!
**[08:35] I**
If two holes isn't enough, I'll use three!
**[08:38] I**
So, mission one is complete.
**[08:40] I**
We've got four more similar ones.
**[08:45] I**
Our next mission is risky.
**[08:48] I**
We just have to get
the ingredients out of the kitchen,
**[08:51] I**
but the kitchen is guarded
by a fierce protector.
**[08:54] I**
Chief Cook Mariban Susa, or Old Lady Mari.
We have to get past her.
**[09:00] Y**
Let me do it, please.
**[09:04] Gi**
So, you're the guest everyone's talking about?
**[09:06] Gi**
Old man Anarai's been talking about
nothing else since yesterday.
**[09:10] Y**
I wanted to see how the cooking was done.
**[09:13] Gu**
It's nothing special.
**[09:15] Gu**
We just make good food, fast,
**[09:18] Gu**
and in large quantities for hungry soldiers.
**[09:22] I**
You're amazing.
**[09:24] I**
It all landed on top of the straw.
**[09:27] Y**
As long as you know
an object's weight and shape,
**[09:29] Y**
you can throw it in a clean arc by
adjusting the strength of the toss.
**[09:34] Y**
It's a simple application
of artillery mechanics.
**[09:36] I**
It's like I've got a new friend
I can rely on!
**[09:43] I**
This is my house!
**[09:47] Y**
May I come in?
**[09:50] I**
I'll ask you instead,
**[09:51] I**
why couldn't you?
**[09:53] I**
Mom, I'm back!
**[09:55] Gi**
Welcome back, Ikta.
**[09:58] Gi**
Welcome.
**[10:00] Y**
I'm Y-Yatorishino Igsem.
**[10:02] Y**
I've been accompanying your son today.
**[10:05] Gi**
I'm Yuhka.
**[10:07] Gi**
Ikta's mother.
**[10:09] Gi**
Thank for playing with my son.
**[10:11] Y**
N-Not at all.
**[10:13] I**
I brought you a lot of things,
just like dad ordered.
**[10:16] I**
Most of it was thanks to Yatori, though.
**[10:19] Gi**
Lunch will be ready soon.
**[10:22] Gi**
Go play with Ikta until it's served.
**[10:27] Y**
No, I...
**[10:29] I**
Can you play chess?
**[10:31] Y**
Yes,
**[10:32] Y**
I learned it as part of my officer training.
**[10:34] I**
Let's play a game, then!
**[10:41] Gu**
I'm back.
**[10:44] Gu**
I'm so hungry.
**[10:47] Gu**
Oh, you're here, Yatori-chan.
**[10:48] Y**
Thank you for having me.
**[10:50] Gu**
Did you succeed in your mission today?
**[10:53] Y**
Sure, but...
**[10:56] Y**
This is Yatori's first time, so go
easier on her, you dumb old man.
**[11:00] Gu**
That's amazing.
**[11:02] Gu**
You're both using castles
in a really close game.
**[11:05] Gi**
Okay, lunch is served.
**[11:09] Y**
Do you live here with your family,
General Sankrei?
**[11:14] Gu**
Yeah. I didn't want to leave them behind
to get transferred a bunch of places.
**[11:18] I**
As long as I'm here, Mom will be fine.
**[11:20] I**
So go where you want, old man.
**[11:22] I**
Don't make Uncle Shiba and Uncle Rikan
do all the running around.
**[11:27] Gu**
Don't try and fool me, son.
**[11:29] Gu**
I know you'd be lonely without me.
**[11:31] I**
Nope. Not at all.
**[11:34] Gu**
Yatori-chan, let's all make
pumpkin cake later.
**[11:39] Gu**
We need to give something back
to Mariban for what we borrowed.
**[11:44] Y**
Right.
**[11:53] I**
Okay! Mission: Catch the Biggest Fish
in the Swamp is complete—
**[12:01] I**
You're going to become a soldier, huh?
**[12:03] Y**
Yes. I'm going to officer's school.
**[12:06] I**
I see.
**[12:07] I**
That's not bad,
**[12:09] I**
but why not be a scientist like me?
**[12:11] Y**
A scientist?
**[12:13] I**
The two of us could work together
**[12:14] I**
and go around unraveling
all the world's mysteries.
**[12:17] I**
Like monsters and stuff.
**[12:19] I**
Why not think about it?
**[12:24] Y**
There's no point in thinking about it.
**[12:26] Y**
I'm following the path of the soldier.
**[12:28] Y**
That's been decided from the start.
**[12:31] I**
That doesn't make sense.
**[12:33] I**
What's important is whether
you want to do it or not, right?
**[12:36] Y**
It makes sense.
**[12:38] Y**
I was born as an Igsem.
**[12:40] Y**
I know what I should be.
**[12:44] Y**
That's all.
**[12:46] I**
I can't accept that.
**[12:47] Y**
There's no need for you to accept it.
**[12:50] I**
There sure is.
**[12:52] I**
Without you, the monsters
are going to eat me.
**[12:57] Gi**
Sorry to drag you on a boring
expedition like this.
**[13:02] Y**
No, it's fine.
**[13:03] Gu**
The two of you have been doing
nothing but military exercises lately.
**[13:07] Gu**
We've been a little lonely.
**[13:09] I**
But it has been a while, hasn't it?
**[13:11] I**
We usually have soldiers trailing behind us.
**[13:13] Y**
It feels like I should have
more weight on my back.
**[13:18] Gu**
We're doing a geological survey, too?!
**[13:20] Gi**
You didn't forget the
surveying tools, did you?
**[13:23] Gu**
I did...
**[13:25] Gi**
You dummy!
**[13:31] I**
Thanks to Brother Bajin,
we've got a whole day to ourselves.
**[13:40] I**
Oh, Yatori.
**[13:41] I**
Did you find an ax—
**[13:47] I**
Y-Yatori...
**[13:54] I**
Th-That scared me...
**[13:56] I**
I didn't know there were wolves
so close to the base.
**[14:01] Y**
They're all skin and bones.
**[14:03] Gi**
The drought's been going on for a while,
**[14:05] Gi**
so they must be hungry.
**[14:07] Y**
That's why they've come to a place
they wouldn't normally be.
**[14:10] Y**
Is he the leader, perhaps?
**[14:12] I**
It's possible for us to just stay in here,
**[14:15] I**
but they might attack Brother Bajin and
his group when they return tomorrow.
**[14:21] I**
So other than your two swords,
these are our weapons, huh?
**[14:26] I**
Killing or driving away
all the wolves around the shed.
**[14:29] I**
That'll be our mission this time.
**[14:32] I**
The time limit is 9:00 A.M. tomorrow.
**[14:34] I**
Any objections?
**[14:36] Y**
None.
**[14:37] Y**
Let's come up with a plan.
**[14:53] Y**
A hit, but not a fatal one.
**[14:56] I**
They're breaking the back wall!
**[14:57] Y**
So this side was a decoy?
**[15:11] Y**
They're getting further away.
**[15:16] I**
Think they'll give up?
**[15:19] Y**
We've told them that any attempts
they make are going to be costly.
**[15:23] Y**
Now it comes down to how hungry they are.
**[15:27] I**
The leader of the pack
seemed exceptionally smart.
**[15:31] Y**
That's why we can't be too careful.
**[15:33] Y**
If he didn't give up,
**[15:35] Y**
who knows what he'll do next?
**[15:39] I**
If we could talk to them,
**[15:41] I**
we could've worked something out.
**[15:44] Y**
Even humans only start negotiating
**[15:46] Y**
once the bullets have run out.
**[15:51] Y**
My dad once told me those two things
would never happen in the opposite order.
**[16:07] Y**
Hit to the head.
**[16:09] Y**
One's down!
**[16:10] I**
Roger.
**[16:11] I**
The two in the front are
staying away from the door.
**[16:19] I**
We knew they'd come after what looked
like the weakest point, but...
**[16:27] I**
If you become a soldier,
**[16:28] I**
are you going to be doing this all the time?
**[16:31] Y**
My second shot missed.
**[16:32] Y**
Did you say something?
**[16:34] I**
Nothing.
**[16:35] I**
I took one out, too.
**[16:39] Y**
Ikta!
**[16:43] Y**
Don't move.
**[16:44] Y**
If you aren't behind me, you'll probably die.
**[16:48] I**
Yeah. I know.
**[17:11] I**
I'm glad I got this ready.
**[17:13] I**
Maybe we could talk to the leader.
**[17:18] I**
He's that smart.
**[17:21] Y**
You talk a lot when you're worried, huh?
**[17:24] I**
Don't point that out so calmly.
**[17:27] I**
You're going to make me cry.
**[17:29] Y**
I know how you feel.
**[17:31] Y**
I'm scared, too.
**[17:33] Y**
But I'll send you back alive,
**[17:36] Y**
even if it costs me my life.
**[17:38] Y**
I'm an Igsem, after all.
**[17:40] I**
What?
**[17:42] I**
That wasn't in the plan.
**[17:43] Y**
I mean if things get really bad.
**[17:46] Y**
It's better that one of us live
than both of us die.
**[17:49] I**
No!
**[17:50] I**
Anything that doesn't end in us
both going home is equally bad.
**[17:53] I**
If you don't understand that, you're a fool.
**[17:55] Y**
You're the fool.
**[17:57] Y**
You have to make hard decisions—
**[17:59] I**
There's one thing I've learned
over the past few weeks.
**[18:02] I**
If you and I work together,
we can get through anything!
**[18:07] I**
Yatori, we only have the
two of us to rely on.
**[18:11] I**
The two of us have to become one
and solve this together!
**[18:13] I**
It's the only way to win.
**[18:15] I**
Like a right and left hand,
**[18:17] I**
or the right and left brain,
**[18:19] I**
let's be a pair of organs
moving with one will.
**[18:23] I**
Don't forget: no matter what, I'm your
left hand, and I'm here for you!
**[18:29] Y**
If I'm the right hand,
**[18:31] Y**
you'll have to live up to being my left.
**[19:03] Y**
Execute clean-up operation!
**[19:07] I**
It hit!
**[19:07] I**
Ow...
**[19:12] I**
Two left.
**[19:14] I**
Did we drive them off?
**[19:16] Y**
One of them was that leader.
**[19:18] Y**
It's too early to make assumptions.
**[19:22] I**
There he is!
**[19:36] I**
Sorry.
**[19:37] I**
That's all the spices we had.
**[19:58] I**
Yatori!
**[20:14] Y**
Are those reinforcements?
**[20:18] I**
Well, I might lose if I was on my own, but...
**[20:32] Y**
Looks like it's over.
**[20:34] I**
Yeah.
**[20:42] I**
This is the last one.
**[20:44] I**
Let's take our time eating it.
**[20:47] Y**
What are those wolves going to do now?
**[20:52] I**
Their leader was badly wounded.
**[20:54] I**
They're going to have a hard time, I bet.
**[20:58] Y**
I feel like I'm eating their meat.
**[21:00] I**
Yeah.
**[21:02] I**
I was thinking the same thing.
**[21:05] I**
You know, Yatori,
**[21:06] I**
if you're capable of imagining that,
**[21:10] I**
you could be something other than a soldier.
**[21:14] I**
Take your time thinking about it.
**[21:16] I**
Just remember what I said today.
**[21:19] I**
If it's paired with a violent
memory like what just happened,
**[21:22] I**
you'll never forget, right?
**[21:24] Y**
You're right.
**[21:26] Y**
I'm probably never going to forget this.
**[21:33] Y**
After that, Uncle Bada was imprisoned,
**[21:37] Y**
and Ikta and Yuhka-san went missing.
**[21:49] Y**
But...
**[21:52] Y**
Ikta came back to me.
**[21:57] (Flashback) I**
I came to take you, Yatori,
**[22:01] (Flashback) I**
from this land without a future.
