[00:09] Gu
    Whoa...
[00:11] Gu
    Look at all of 'em.
[00:13] Gu
    It's like a gathering of armies
    from around the Holy See.
[00:22] G
    This whole place feels on edge.
[00:26] G
    The battlefield smell that's so familiar...
SIGN    City of Humans
[00:41] Gu
    Hold it, girl.
[00:42] S
    Do you mean me?
[00:44] Gu
    What is that outfit?
[00:46] F
    Teacher?!
[00:48] Gu
    I forgot...
[00:50] Gu
    This is a fortress of the Holy See.
[00:53] Gu
    You cannot enter with
    such outrageous clothing!
[00:56] Gu
    Sir, this costume is for our troupe...
[00:59] Gu
    A traveling troupe?
[01:01] Gu
    But that doesn't excuse it!
[01:08] S
    Come, let us go.
[01:10] Gu
    Are you really sure that was a good idea?
[01:14] Gu
    She's obviously a witch.
[01:15] Gu
    Everyone is staring, right?
[01:17] Gu
    Come with me!
[01:18] S
    What?
[01:20] Gu
    That outfit's a bad idea.
[01:22] Gu
    You need to buy some normal clothes.
[01:25] S
    This is normal for me.
[01:27] Gu
    Why are you being so stubborn?
[01:32] Gi
    Schierke!
[01:36] Gu
    Sorry...
[01:38] S
    You're mean.
[01:39] Gu
    Who cares about your stupid hat?
[01:41] Gu
    It's your fault for not listening!
[01:47] Gu
    Idiot!
[01:47] Gu
    If you wander around in that stuff...
[01:50] Gu
    Jeez, what is that witch thinking?
[01:53] Gi
    Hey, Droppy! What the hell?!
[01:55] P
    It's "Dropey," Ivalera.
[01:58] Gi
    Those robes and hat were handmade by Flora.
[02:01] Gi
    Everything else she had burned!
[02:04] P
    Handmade?
[02:05] Gi
    They're all she has left!
[02:08] Gi
    You really are a monkey, making a girl cry!
[02:11] Gi
    Schierke, wait!
[02:13] Gu
    Isidoro...
[02:16] G
    We'll find an inn.
[02:19] G
    Go bring her back.
[02:22] P
    I'll go with you.
[02:24] I
    Schierke!
[02:26] ---
    Hey, hello?
[02:29] I
    Where are you going?
[02:30] S
    Somewhere without anyone else.
[02:42] Gi
    What is that?
[02:44] Gi
    Wait, what the hell are you?
[03:06] Gi
    That is his body.
[03:10] Gi
    Schierke!
[03:11] S
    Move away for a second.
[03:17] Gu
    Schierke, what happened?
[03:21] Gu
    It hurts! It hurts!
[03:25] Gu
    Let me down... Let me down!
[03:29] Gu
    Release me...
[03:33] Gu
    Who are you?
[03:34] S
    What offense caused these
    people to be hanged here?
[03:38] Gu
    This isn't a place for kids.
[03:42] Gu
    Well, I guess it's okay...
[03:45] Gu
    These are Kushans.
[03:48] Gu
    Well, Kushans or not,
[03:50] Gu
    they were slaves that resided in Vritannis.
[03:53] S
    Slaves...
[03:54] Gu
    Vritannis is a merchant city.
[03:57] Gu
    To other nations in the Holy See,
    Kushans are religious enemies.
[04:03] Gu
    But here, they're more.
[04:04] Gu
    They're a product.
[04:06] Gu
    But with this huge war,
[04:09] Gu
    we can't keep doing that, anymore.
[04:12] Gu
    Since Vritannis has been honored
    by becoming a Holy See naval base.
[04:18] Gu
    So the city hanged them,
    as sacrifices to morale.
[04:23] S
    That's the reason?
[04:25] S
    People will take each other's
    lives for such a reason?
[04:30] S
    Displaying the bodies of the
    dead is a desecration.
[04:34] S
    It is not to be allowed.
[04:36] S
    Now I shall take them down to cremate.
[04:39] S
    You will help me.
[04:41] S
    Understood?
[05:01] Gi
    Hey, Schierke... Let's go back.
[05:04] Gi
    The sun's setting!
[05:06] Gi
    Come on...
[05:18] Gi
    You'd need more than a forest's
    worth of trees to build all these!
[05:23] S
    What are they trying to do,
[05:26] ---
    making something so large?
[05:29] S
    So many people and things,
[05:32] S
    gathered merely for bloodshed?
[05:36] S
    This is the world to which they belong.
[05:46] S
    Mistress, the voices of the spirits
    are very hard to hear here,
[05:51] S
    drowned out by human voices.
[05:55] Gu
    The wharf? You're sure?
[05:57] Gu
    Yeah.
[05:58] Gu
    You with her? Then, you should hurry.
[06:01] Gu
    That place isn't safe after dark.
[06:03] Gu
    Armed merchant ships, basically pirates,
[06:06] Gu
    weigh anchor there.
[06:07] Gu
    She could be kidnapped and
    sold to a foreign country...
[06:11] Gu
    Wait!
[06:13] Gu
    Are you looking for the witch?
[06:19] Gu
    I'm searching for someone.
[06:21] Gu
    If you know something about the
    witch, would you tell me?
[06:25] Gu
    Why is someone like you looking for a witch?
[06:28] Gu
    I know!
[06:29] Gu
    You plan to catch and hand
    her over to the government,
[06:32] Gu
    so you can get the glory!
[06:34] Gu
    Glory?
[06:35] Gu
    Don't try and fool me!
[06:36] Gu
    The way you're dressed, you're some
    noble's son, squiring for a knight!
[06:40] Gu
    You want glory, so you get
    promoted to full knighthood.
[06:44] ---
    That's so petty!
[06:45] ---
    Hey...
[06:46] Gu
    I'll stop you!
[06:49] Gu
    Wait! Listen to me!
[06:59] Gi
    Schierke, I'm hungry.
[07:02] Gi
    Let's go back.
[07:04] Gi
    Wow!
[07:07] Gi
    So witches are real, huh?
[07:17] Gi
    You're a witch, right?
[07:19] S
    Do I look like one?
[07:22] Gi
    Yep.
[07:24] Gi
    You have a staff and pointy hat.
[07:26] Gi
    And you talk to animals.
[07:28] Gi
    Also, there's her.
[07:30] Gi
    A girl accompanied by a fairy
    could only be a witch.
[07:34] Gi
    You can see me.
[07:36] S
    She is...
[07:38] Gi
    And then, your actions back there.
[07:41] Gi
    The Kushans that were hung up,
[07:43] Gi
    you released them, didn't you?
[07:46] S
    You were able to see that?
[07:48] Gi
    It was really cool,
[07:50] Gi
    the way you bossed those grown-ups around!
[07:52] Gi
    Was that magic?
[07:54] S
    It wasn't anything that special...
[07:57] Gi
    But don't witches live in the
    mountains or forests?
[08:01] Gi
    What are you doing here?
[08:03] S
    I'm on a journey.
[08:05] Gi
    Alone?
[08:06] Gi
    Or with her, just you two?
[08:09] S
    No.
[08:10] S
    Ever since we came to this
    city, a lot has happened.
[08:17] Gi
    It's pretty hard, isn't it?
[08:19] Gi
    Being different than others.
[08:22] S
    Are you from this city?
[08:24] Gi
    Nope.
[08:25] Gi
    A lot has happened to me, as well.
[08:28] Gi
    Let's say, hypothetically...
[08:30] Gi
    There was an ugly duckling.
[08:32] S
    Duckling?
[08:33] Gi
    Oh, I know that fairytale!
[08:35] Gi
    The ugly duckling was different from everyone, so she was left out.
[08:40] Gi
    Because the ugly duckling was...
[08:42] Gi
    A swan!
[08:43] Gi
    A black kite!
[08:45] Gi
    One day a murder of mean crows
    attacked the duck's nest.
[08:50] Gi
    The weak ducklings couldn't fly away,
[08:54] Gi
    and they were all captured.
[08:57] Gi
    The black kite was convinced she
    was just a weird duckling,
[09:00] Gi
    and didn't know how to fly.
[09:02] Gi
    So she was also captured.
[09:05] Gi
    But then, it was the king
    of birds who saved them.
[09:09] Gi
    The white hawk.
[09:11] S
    Hawk?
[09:12] Gi
    The white hawk brought
    dragons in his service,
[09:16] Gi
    and they quickly defeated the crows.
[09:20] Gi
    Black kites and hawks are
    related to one another.
[09:22] Gi
    For the first time, the young
    black kite met someone similar,
[09:25] Gi
    and she realized she could fly.
[09:28] Gi
    And then what happened?
[09:29] Gi
    The white hawk
[09:30] Gi
    defeated the crows that were
    rampaging through the country.
[09:34] Gi
    Not only were there dragons by its side,
    but there were ducklings,
[09:39] ---
    and even stray crows that had turned to good.
[09:43] Gi
    The black kite was special.
[09:45] Gi
    Only she could fly in the same
    sky as the white hawk.
[09:48] Gi
    Only she could feel the same wind.
[09:51] Gi
    What a romantic situation!
[09:55] Gi
    But then, one day...
[09:58] Gi
    The duckling princess, whom the
    king of crows had captured,
[10:01] Gi
    was saved by the white hawk.
[10:03] Gi
    The cowardly ducklings wanted to
    marry her to the white hawk,
[10:09] Gi
    to strengthen their bond
    to the powerful hawk.
[10:13] ---
    Oh, my!
[10:15] Gi
    The black kite disliked this.
[10:19] Gi
    So she tried to make herself feel
    better by looking at the sea.
[10:24] Gi
    And then? And then?
[10:25] Gi
    The black kite met a young
    owl from the forest,
[10:28] ---
    who was surrounded by gulls.
[10:31] Gi
    The black kite thought to herself
[10:34] ---
    that even though the young owl
    was surrounded by many gulls,
[10:37] Gi
    she looked a bit lonely...
[10:40] Gi
    "We're kind of similar.
[10:45] Gi
    I wonder if we can be friends," she thought.
[10:51] S
    The—
[10:53] ---
    The owl felt the same way...
[10:59] Gi
    Hey, do you have someone
    who understands you?
[11:03] S
    Everyone I travel with is normal,
[11:07] S
    so when it comes to witches...
[11:15] S
    They're in harmony.
[11:16] Gi
    It's love, isn't it?
[11:17] Gi
    It's love!
[11:18] S
    I-It isn't like that!
[11:20] S
    Just, as a grown-up, he's been
    watching out for me.
[11:24] S
    And so, I find myself letting him spoil me.
[11:32] Gu
    Stop right there, brats!
[11:35] Gi
    Who are they?
[11:36] Gi
    Slavers? Pirates?
[11:37] S
    Those are...
[11:40] Gu
    You won't get away!
[11:42] Gu
    You wanna make it hard, huh?
[11:44] Gu
    Stop crying!
[11:46] Gu
    There's no place to run, anyway!
[11:50] S
    Stop this at once.
[11:54] S
    Do not make me witness
    further ugliness today.
[12:04] Gu
    Girl, you think you're a witch
    or something, dressed like that?
[12:08] S
    I do.
[12:09] Gi
    And you are pirates, aren't you?
[12:11] Gi
    Pirates!
[12:12] Gi
    You plan to kidnap those kids and sell them!
[12:15] Gu
    These are Kushan kids,
    whose parents were hanged!
[12:18] Gu
    That's why we can't leave them in the city.
[12:24] Gi
    My, maybe this place deserves
    to be put to the torch.
[12:28] S
    To a witch such as I,
    city law and merchant logic mean nothing.
[12:33] Gi
    Girl, if you talk back to us, you'll join—
[12:38] Gi
    Huh?
[12:39] Gu
    Hey, what's wrong?
[12:40] Gu
    I... I can't move!
[12:43] Gi
    Amazing.
[12:44] Gi
    Magic? Was that magic?
[12:46] S
    J-Just a hypnotic suggestion!
[12:48] Gu
    What did you do, girl?!
[12:50] Gu
    If you don't let me move again, I'll beat—
[12:53] Gu
    What?
[12:56] Gu
    I knew this was going to happen...
[12:58] S
    Isidoro?
[13:00] Gi
    Is that the one?
[13:01] S
    Definitely not.
[13:02] Gu
    Hey, pirates!
[13:04] Gu
    Enough of your crimes!
[13:06] Gu
    Don't try and say you're gathering
    these kids for a picnic!
[13:09] Gu
    Pathetic!
[13:10] Gu
    You stupid brat!
[13:17] Gu
    I did that without thinking.
[13:24] Gu
    It's the first time I've cut someone down...
[13:28] Gu
    Now that we've seen our friend's blood...
[13:31] S
    Isidoro!
[13:32] Gu
    Girl, stay out of this,
[13:35] Gu
    unless you wanna get hurt.
[13:38] ---
    At this rate...
[13:40] Gu
    Stop. Don't use that.
[13:44] Gu
    Wait... Why are you so mad?
[13:47] Gi
    That isn't it.
[13:48] Gi
    He wants to conceal what you are.
[13:50] Gi
    Isn't that nice of him?
[13:52] Gi
    You can do it, monkey!
[13:53] S
    She can hear our telepathic conversation?
[14:03] Gi
    Wow! Wow!
[14:04] Gi
    He's fighting grown-ups!
[14:05] S
    But eventually, they'll catch him.
[14:11] Gu
    All the inns are full...
[14:13] Gu
    Guts?
[14:14] Gu
    Throw down your weapon,
    and we won't kill you.
[14:18] Gu
    We'll just beat you half to death and
    hang you from the mast for a day...
[14:26] Gu
    What's your problem?
    Butt in and you'll get hurt.
[14:30] Gi
    Hey, there.
[14:34] Gu
    Y-You're...
[14:36] Gu
    It seems you're helping my comrade.
[14:38] Gu
    I shall join you!
[14:40] Gu
    You wanna fight?
[14:47] Gu
    Wow...
[14:47] Gu
    He's...
[14:50] Gu
    He's slaughtering them without hesitation.
[15:05] Gu
    That's the problem with kids.
[15:09] Gu
    Around adults, they don't know their place.
[15:14] Gu
    Captain!
[15:16] Gi
    Definitely a pirate!
[15:17] Gu
    Listen up, kids.
[15:20] Gu
    The world of adults has stern rules.
[15:23] Gu
    And if you break them, you need
    to be punished a little.
[15:28] Gu
    I thought pirates had more spine!
[15:38] Gu
    Not bad...
[15:41] Gu
    The standard swordsmanship of a noble.
[15:43] Gu
    But...
[15:45] Gu
    Wait!
[15:47] Gu
    Take this.
[15:55] Gu
    You shouldn't underestimate
    grown-ups, little boy.
[15:58] Gu
    Now, how will you pay for all this mess?
[16:07] Gu
    Time for the main act...
[16:09] Gu
    The opener can get lost.
[16:16] Gu
    He's...
[16:18] Gu
    You can keep up with me on a ship?
[16:21] Gu
    Of course.
[16:22] Gu
    I roll around, whenever I use my sword.
[16:25] Gu
    I can fight in any stance!
[16:29] Gu
    Oh, no!
[16:32] Gu
    Your sword lacks the desire for bloodshed.
[16:36] Gu
    Now, enough games.
[16:39] Gu
    Men, tie them all up!
[16:41] Gu
    Yes, sir!
[16:43] Gu
    Puck Spark!
[16:52] Gu
    Now!
[16:58] Gu
    The gate's closing!
[17:00] Gu
    Even if they're children,
    I don't know how we took
[17:03] ---
    all these Kushans out of the
    city, with no problem.
[17:06] Gu
    What's going on?
[17:09] Gi
    That's...
[17:10] Gi
    a secret! Right?
[17:13] Gu
    Well? What will you do with the children?
[17:17] Gi
    Take them with us, of course.
[17:20] Gu
    You're being selfish again.
[17:21] Gi
    It's been settled.
[17:22] Gi
    This is my decision as a seer!
[17:25] S
    Um, will that be all right?
[17:28] Gi
    I don't want to ruin my fun memories.
[17:32] Gi
    And our boss isn't the kind of
    petty man to complain
[17:36] ---
    about something like this, right?
[17:38] Gi
    Right?
[17:40] Gu
    Fine. We'll take them.
[17:45] Gu
    Take it.
[17:46] Gu
    What? Don't be stupid.
[17:47] Gu
    I can't take a stolen sword!
[17:49] Gu
    Can you protect them unarmed?
[17:52] Gu
    You're the one who dropped
    your sword in the sea, right?
[17:56] Gu
    How lame! Think you can
    be a knight like that?
[17:58] Gu
    And you looked as stupid
    as a flipped-over frog!
[18:01] Gu
    And you staggered like a
    drunk on those boats!
[18:04] Gi
    Hey, witch girl...
[18:06] Gi
    Would you like to come with us?
[18:13] S
    With...
[18:18] S
    ...you?
[18:25] S
    If you feel that you have
    no place in this world,
[18:30] S
    we would welcome you.
[18:34] Gi
    What will you do?
[18:39] S
    I...
[18:45] S
    I...
[19:03] S
    Thank you, but...
[19:06] S
    I have a place to go home to.
[19:10] Gi
    I see...
[19:12] Gi
    That man,
[19:14] Gi
    he's your...
[19:16] Gi
    Tsk... Guess I got turned down.
[19:19] Gi
    Too bad.
[19:21] S
    I'm sorry.
[19:22] Gi
    Oh, right. I haven't gotten your name yet.
[19:25] Gi
    I'm Sonia.
[19:26] S
    I am Schierke.
[19:27] S

[19:50] Gu
    I'm Mule.
[19:51] Gu
    What's your name?
[19:52] Gu
    Ijidodo.
[19:54] Gu
    I'll remember your name, Ijidodo!
[19:57] Gu
    It's "Ijidodo"!
[19:59] Gu
    Schierke...
[20:00] Gu
    Get away from this city, as soon as you can.
[20:13] S
    What was that?
[20:17] Gi
    Let's meet again, forest owl!
[20:21] Gu
    Okay, wet's head vack.
    The gate will ve cwosing.
[20:24] Gu
    He says, "Okay, let's head back.
    The gate will be closing."
[20:30] Gu
    Um...
[20:32] Gu
    I'b swowwy boud your hat and cwothes...
[20:37] Gi
    Huh? I couldn't hear you!
[20:39] Gi
    Speak a human language.
[20:41] ---
    I'm sorry about your hat and clothes...
[20:45] S
    And I'm sorry for being stubborn.
[20:49] S
    Thank you for coming.
[20:53] P
    Not at all. We weren't able to help at all.
[20:58] Gu
    Okay, food time!
[21:09] Gu
    It hurts, just looking at you.
[21:14] Gu
    This place is filled with
    nasty sorts, isn't it?
[21:17] Gu
    Couldn't you find better lodgings?
[21:19] Gu
    It could not be helped.
[21:21] Gu
    The whole city is so full of soldiers,
[21:23] Gu
    we should be grateful we found any place.
[21:26] G
    Taverns are all the same.
[21:29] G
    Gambling, fighting, whores.
[21:31] Gu
    Come over here and pour me a drink, missy—
[21:33] Gu
    Listen, mister...
[21:36] G
    And drunks.
[21:38] Gu
    Keep your feet off the table when we eat.
[21:42] F
    Everyone, we're back.
[21:44] F
    Come on.
[21:45] S
    B-But...
[21:49] S
    Ta-dah!
[21:52] S
    The clothes make the witch, huh?
[21:55] F
    The tavern's owner
[21:56] F
    was nice enough to give us
    her daughter's old clothes.
[22:00] S
    It a little tight and hard to move in...
[22:03] S
    And I don't feel right without my staff.
[22:05] F
    It's only for while we stay in this city.
[22:08] Gu
    You look good.
[22:10] Gu
    Yeah, it's a good disguise.
[22:13] Gu
    Nobody would think you're
    actually a scary witch
[22:17] Gu
    who could flatten a village.
[22:20] Gu
    What?
[22:24] Gu
    What's going on? Three girls,
    somewhere like this?
[22:28] Gu
    I guess one of them's a kid.
[22:30] Gu
    She's so pretty!
[22:31] Gu
    Why not have a drink?
[22:34] F
    I refuse.
[22:37] gu
    Hey, you drunk—
[22:38] gu
    What is it, kid?
[22:39] gu
    You really think kids should
    be in a place like this—
[22:44] gu
    What the hell?
[22:47] G
    That's the price...
[22:50] ---
    For staining my comrade's new clothes.
[22:54] S
    Comrade...
[22:58] S
    Mistress, this city and the human world
[23:03] S
    are so very vulgar and foolish.
[23:08] Gu
    Girls...
[23:12] S
    It's ugly.
[23:14] G
    Not bad.
[23:16] S
    But, mistress...
[23:20] S
    Even with all that, I can smile!
[23:32] S
    If you would continue your journey,
[23:36] S
    you will see the Apostles again, soon.
[23:43] S
    And when that happens,
    their leader will most likely be
[23:48] S
    the hawk.
