**[00:03] ---**
Please go on a date with me!
**[00:19] ---**
It's pretty, isn't it?
**[00:21] ---**
It is.
**[00:27] ---**
Let's go, Naoya.
**[00:30] ---**
Let's go.
**[02:20] ---**
An asterisk beyond the sky
**[02:26] ---**
I wonder if Daddy and
Lotte's date is going okay.
**[02:32] ---**
A shooting star?
**[02:36] ---**
It's Mommy!
**[02:40] ---**
Good evening.
**[02:44] ---**
I'm glad I made it in time.
**[02:47] ---**
Asuhariet.
**[02:50] ---**
Mommy!
**[02:52] ---**
Over here next, Naoya!
**[03:02] ---**
Don't spin it that fast, Princess!
**[03:13] ---**
Have this and take a breather.
**[03:17] ---**
Thanks.
**[03:37] ---**
What's so funny?
**[03:40] ---**
Don't look at people so much.
**[03:42] ---**
It's rude.
**[03:44] ---**
I told you not to look.
**[03:47] ---**
I'll never forget your smile.
**[03:51] ---**
Naoya...
**[03:53] ---**
Your smile... I'll never forget it.
**[04:09] ---**
They're pretty.
**[04:12] ---**
Do you like them?
**[04:13] ---**
They're fireflies you can't find
anywhere but in the Monster Realm.
**[04:17] ---**
I thought they were a falling
star just a second ago.
**[04:20] ---**
A falling star that
came to grant my wish.
**[04:26] ---**
I like the way these
fireflies glow the brightest.
**[04:31] ---**
But they can only light
up for one night.
**[04:35] ---**
Their glow will be gone
after the night's over.
**[04:39] ---**
Asuhariet,
**[04:42] ---**
please don't forget
how this world glows.
**[04:50] ---**
The light...
**[04:52] ---**
I wonder if the fireflies
are getting tired.
**[04:55] ---**
Before they go out completely,
I guess I should make a wish.
**[05:03] ---**
Asuhariet...
**[05:05] ---**
I love you, Mommy.
**[05:09] ---**
Don't forget me or Daddy.
**[05:28] ---**
It's the first time I've hated
the World Tree this much.
**[05:37] ---**
Does it hurt?
**[05:42] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[05:44] ---**
You're in pain because of us.
**[05:52] ---**
What's wrong, Naoya?!
**[05:53] ---**
Are you hurt?
**[05:55] ---**
Princess...
**[06:01] ---**
Naoya...
**[06:04] ---**
Yes?
**[06:07] ---**
Naoya.
**[06:09] ---**
Yes?
**[06:10] ---**
Naoya!
**[06:11] ---**
Naoya!
**[06:12] ---**
Naoya!
**[06:13] ---**
Naoya!
**[06:26] ---**
Naoya...
**[06:29] ---**
I love you...
**[06:30] ---**
I love you, Naoya...
**[06:32] ---**
I really want you to stay here forever.
**[06:34] ---**
I don't want you to leave me.
**[06:37] ---**
But... But...
**[06:39] ---**
If you stay here, you'll disappear.
**[06:44] ---**
I don't want that to happen.
**[06:45] ---**
That's why... you have to leave...
**[07:03] ---**
I guess...
**[07:05] ---**
I guess I was the one...
**[07:07] ---**
who was always paying
attention to the princess...
**[07:34] ---**
I understand now.
**[07:38] ---**
I'm in love with you.
**[07:54] ---**
Let's have a date here again someday.
**[08:11] ---**
You're my toy.
**[08:15] ---**
No, you're my...
**[08:51] ---**
Daddy...
**[08:53] ---**
I thought it'd be fine if
you were my only family...
**[08:57] ---**
If I only had you...
**[09:02] ---**
But it's really fun having
a big family around you.
**[09:09] ---**
Yeah, it is.
**[09:15] ---**
Chicken and veggies would
be good for dinner tonight.
**[09:18] ---**
Okay, I'll make an
extra delicious one for you.
**[09:21] ---**
Yippee!
**[09:42] ---**
Effie,
**[09:44] ---**
I'm going to take a bath.
**[09:45] ---**
Chill some milk for when I get out.
**[09:48] ---**
Yes, ma'am.
**[09:49] ---**
Zelda, wash my back.
**[09:51] ---**
Okay.
**[09:52] ---**
Olav, prepare the floating flowers...
**[09:54] ---**
for the bath that were picked this morning.
**[09:56] ---**
Leave it to me.
**[09:58] ---**
Judit,
**[10:02] ---**
am I smiling?
**[10:06] ---**
You are.
**[10:08] ---**
A big smile, fit for our beloved Princess.
**[10:09] ---**
A princess we care for so much.
**[10:12] ---**
That's good, then.
**[11:13] ---**
Open.
**[11:16] ---**
I guess that wouldn't work, would it?
**[11:22] ---**
I wonder if they can see
that in their world too?
**[11:28] ---**
Daddy!
**[11:30] ---**
Asuha!
**[11:32] ---**
Welcome back, Daddy.
**[11:34] ---**
Thanks.
**[11:35] ---**
Have you gotten used to your new job?
**[11:38] ---**
Yeah. I'm doing great.
**[11:41] ---**
Really?
**[11:42] ---**
What's that look for?
**[11:44] ---**
Oh well, whatever.
**[11:45] ---**
Hey Daddy, I'm hungry.
**[11:48] ---**
Hmm, what should I make for dinner?
**[11:50] ---**
I know!
**[11:55] ---**
Hey Asuha, don't swim in the bathtub.
**[11:58] ---**
Fine.
**[12:02] ---**
You could swim to your
heart's content in Lotte's bath.
**[12:08] ---**
How about we make...
**[12:10] ---**
a really big bath in our backyard?
**[12:13] ---**
We'll just copy Lotte's house!
**[12:16] ---**
That might be kinda hard.
**[12:20] ---**
Not really!
**[12:23] ---**
We can do anything if
we try hard enough!
**[12:26] ---**
Try hard enough...
**[12:28] ---**
Daddy, I'll wash your front.
**[12:31] ---**
I-I think my back'll be fine.
**[12:42] ---**
I wonder if Lotte's doing fine.
**[12:44] ---**
Yeah.
**[12:46] ---**
I wonder if she's grown up already.
**[12:49] ---**
I dunno about that.
**[12:51] ---**
I wonder if her boobs got any bigger.
**[12:54] ---**
Sucks we couldn't see that.
**[13:00] ---**
Good night, Daddy.
**[13:03] ---**
Good night, Asuha.
**[13:22] ---**
Asuha, food's ready.
**[13:29] ---**
Are you okay drinking that much?
**[13:31] ---**
I'm fine.
**[13:32] ---**
I'm training to make my boobs bigger!
**[13:37] ---**
Just make sure you don't
get a stomachache.
**[13:40] ---**
Okay!
**[13:42] ---**
Huh?
**[13:44] ---**
I'm coming.
**[13:47] ---**
Make sure you eat up before it gets cold.
**[13:49] ---**
I know!
**[13:51] ---**
Hello, this is the Touhara reside—
**[13:53] ---**
Naoya!
**[13:57] ---**
Asuha, what is it?
**[13:58] ---**
What's wrong?
**[14:04] ---**
It finally got through.
**[14:06] ---**
Huh? Princess?!
**[14:08] ---**
It's Lotte!
**[14:09] ---**
Cool!
**[14:11] ---**
The World Tree sapling
is a videophone!
**[14:14] ---**
What's going on?
**[14:17] ---**
Actually, what is that?
**[14:21] ---**
Well, you see...
**[14:24] ---**
I have this!
**[14:26] ---**
That's my cell phone...
**[14:28] ---**
How? I thought I lost it...
**[14:31] ---**
I gave it to her as a parting
gift to remember us by.
**[14:34] ---**
Asuha...
**[14:38] ---**
So...
**[14:39] ---**
I looked into how the phone worked,
**[14:42] ---**
and created a device...
**[14:44] ---**
that lets the Realm of Man and the
Monster Realm communicate with each other.
**[14:48] ---**
I see...
**[14:49] ---**
Pretty cool, Ini.
**[14:53] ---**
Hey, get out of the way.
**[14:55] ---**
Naoya! Asuha!
**[14:56] ---**
Are you doing okay?
**[14:59] ---**
Hey, don't just butt in!
**[15:01] ---**
But it's not fair if you're
the only one who gets to talk to them!
**[15:05] ---**
Master Naoya! I'm here too!
**[15:10] ---**
Don't just—
**[15:11] ---**
If you move too much,
the signal will break up.
**[15:14] ---**
Then, go away!
**[15:22] ---**
Anyway, now we can talk
with the Realm of Man—
**[15:25] ---**
Huh?
**[15:28] ---**
Lotte, you haven't gotten
any bigger, have you?
**[15:32] ---**
Well, I, uh...
**[15:39] ---**
It's kinda...
**[15:41] ---**
You see...
**[15:42] ---**
I'll say it!
**[15:44] ---**
Actually...
**[15:46] ---**
Actually?
**[15:48] ---**
Actually...
**[15:50] ---**
It's shaking, it's shaking way too much!
**[15:55] ---**
Being punished
**[15:58] ---**
I feel... I feel sick.
**[16:01] ---**
Actually...
**[16:03] ---**
That mark... Judit kinda made a mistake...
**[16:08] ---**
If you don't just come out
with it, I'll say it for you.
**[16:11] ---**
The thing on my back!
**[16:13] ---**
The thing on my back...
**[16:14] ---**
That mark... it was really...
**[16:18] ---**
A bug bite!
**[16:24] ---**
Totally want some blood.
**[16:27] ---**
Suck. Suck.
**[16:31] ---**
That was totally delicious.
**[16:39] ---**
A bug bite?
**[16:41] ---**
What the heck?
**[16:44] ---**
Uh... so that basically means
you aren't growing up yet...
**[16:49] ---**
What?!
**[16:52] ---**
I can't help it!
**[16:54] ---**
It was all Judit's fault.
**[16:56] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[16:57] ---**
It was my mistake!
**[17:01] ---**
Um...
**[17:03] ---**
Great Sage...
**[17:05] ---**
How's the World Tree, then?
**[17:08] ---**
It's fine.
**[17:10] ---**
After you two went back
to the Realm of Man,
**[17:13] ---**
the World Tree's magic
returned to normal.
**[17:16] ---**
I imagine it's because it got rid of...
**[17:18] ---**
what was interfering with its magic.
**[17:22] ---**
That's good.
**[17:24] ---**
Huh?
**[17:27] ---**
Seems like the magic
charge will be depleted soon.
**[17:31] ---**
See you later.
**[17:32] ---**
Wait a sec—
**[17:34] ---**
They're gone.
**[17:44] ---**
A lot of things feel like
they just happened all at once.
**[17:48] ---**
But Lotte was pretty funny.
**[17:51] ---**
It was just a bug bite, huh?
**[17:56] ---**
Everyone seemed like they
were doing pretty well.
**[17:59] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:00] ---**
I wanna go to the Monster Realm again.
**[18:06] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:09] ---**
If I get to see the Princess again,
**[18:14] ---**
I'll say those words again.
**[18:17] ---**
The things I didn't get to
tell her about how I felt.
**[18:26] ---**
Princess...
**[18:39] ---**
Naoya,
**[18:42] ---**
if I get to see you again,
**[18:47] ---**
I'll say that again.
**[18:50] ---**
This time, with a big smile.
**[18:59] ---**
Once more.
**[19:14] ---**
We will now begin the World
Tree opening ceremony.
**[19:22] ---**
First, we'll have a few words...
**[19:25] ---**
from the inventor of the gate,
Ingrid Sorveig Sorgrims.
**[19:30] ---**
I have learned a noble gratitude...
**[19:34] ---**
brought by someone from another Realm.
**[19:39] ---**
I have learned...
**[19:42] ---**
that the world is not something
that only exists within our heads,
**[19:45] ---**
but rather the ground
that lies under our feet.
**[19:49] ---**
Even if the way we look, or the
language we use is different,
**[19:51] ---**
all the worlds are connected, and
we can understand each other.
**[19:55] ---**
The things that can be gained...
**[19:58] ---**
by connecting the worlds through these gates...
**[20:01] ---**
are more irreplaceable than anything,
more wonderful than anything.
**[20:05] ---**
That's why I researched
the World Tree's magic,
**[20:09] ---**
and found a way to keep
**[20:11] ---**
the gate open between the Realms at all times.
**[20:14] ---**
Whether this gate leads to the future,
**[20:16] ---**
or falls into darkness,
**[20:18] ---**
is up to each and every one of you.
**[20:21] ---**
That is all.
**[20:23] ---**
Now the Queen will cut the ribbon-
**[20:26] ---**
Okay!
**[20:27] ---**
That was too fast!
**[20:29] ---**
Anyway, here we go.
**[20:31] ---**
Where did Lotte go anyway?
**[20:34] ---**
I thought she'd be the first one...
**[20:37] ---**
to want to see my darling again.
**[20:40] ---**
Well, whatever.
**[20:41] ---**
I'll be the first to kiss
him to welcome him back.
**[20:45] ---**
There we go.
**[20:56] ---**
He's coming, isn't he?
**[21:09] ---**
Darling...
**[21:15] ---**
Sigh. There he goes.
**[21:18] ---**
I imagine he went to
go see the Princess.
**[21:21] ---**
You're right.
**[21:23] ---**
But I'm a little disappointed.
**[21:26] ---**
My Queen...
**[21:29] ---**
This is a happy ending, I guess?
**[21:32] ---**
You're right, it is.
**[22:02] ---**
Princess.
**[22:06] ---**
I...
**[22:07] ---**
You took a while.
**[22:10] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[22:13] ---**
You've gotten pretty cocky,
making me wait like this.
**[22:19] ---**
I'm sorr—
**[22:20] ---**
That's not what I want to hear!
**[22:23] ---**
You don't know anything about girls!
**[22:27] ---**
Stupid guys.
**[22:34] ---**
Princess.
**[22:39] ---**
I'm back.
**[22:42] ---**
Naoya...
**[22:46] ---**
Naoya!
**[22:58] ---**
Daddy, that's no fair!
**[23:00] ---**
Daddy! Lotte!
**[23:05] ---**
They were really getting
in the mood, too.
**[23:07] ---**
Cut them some slack.
**[23:09] ---**
Asuha!
**[23:12] ---**
I'm back, Lotte!
**[23:22] ---**
Welcome back!
