[00:13] ---
    I know this cold voice
[00:17] ---
    Taking my friend
[00:22] ---
    Maybe a little afraid you'll run away
[00:26] ---
    But right now...
[00:30] ---
    For this moment in time, I want to hold you tight
[00:35] ---
    By your side, I'm dreaming of the days
[00:39] ---
    When I finally look up at the promised sky
[00:44] ---
    I'll take off and break all the way
[00:49] ---
    For this moment in time, I just wanna be with you
[00:53] ---
    By your side, I'm dreaming of the days
[00:58] ---
    When I finally look up at the promised sky
[01:02] ---
    I know I can change all the way
[01:07] ---
    For the moment...
[01:11] ---
    I just wanna hold you...
[01:30] ---
    "An Unforgettable Day"
[02:00] ---
    At the Royal Palace in Samarta, the capital of Raginei...
[02:03] ---
    the coronation of the new King Somand Iliya Di Raginei is about to be held.
[02:10] ---
    Guests and leaders from many countries have been invited to the event...
[02:14] ---
    and a magnificent memorial ceremony has been planned.
[02:20] ---
    Domestically, the streets are alight with flags and decorations for the coronation...
[02:25] ---
    and a celebratory mood prevails.
[02:28] ---
    For the people of Raginei, it looks like today will be an unforgettable day. In addition--
[02:35] ---
    Clueless optimism...
[02:46] ---
    Who's there!
[02:50] ---
    I heard you load your gun...
[02:53] ---
    if I were an enemy, you'd be full of holes.
[03:01] ---
    Hey, everyone. Sorry to worry you.
[03:03] ---
    --Lieutenant Noei!
    --Lieutenant, sir!
[03:06] ---
    I thought I was dreaming when I heard you were safe.
[03:17] ---
    Wow, it's been a month...
[03:19] ---
    This area feels a lot livelier than last time...
[03:22] ---
    Probably 'cause travel restrictions have been loosened for the coronation.
[03:26] ---
    Right, Lee-Leng?
[03:32] ---
    Lee-Leng...
[03:35] ---
    Master Lee-Leng...
[03:37] ---
    He's always like this, lately...
[03:41] ---
    When he looks like that, he's off in a world I don't understand...
[03:48] ---
    I've never seen him look so lost...
[03:53] ---
    When this Husband Hunting Game is over...
[03:56] ---
    Lee-Leng's contract with Dad will end, too.
[04:01] ---
    Maybe, like before, I'll only get to see him a few times a year...
[04:07] ---
    But if the game doesn't end soon, it'll be trouble...
[04:14] ---
    The destiny you are going to have to bear...
[04:17] ---
    is an even heavier one.
[04:20] ---
    What "destiny?"
[04:22] ---
    When your future husband is sitting there...
[04:26] ---
    then I'll tell you.
[04:30] ---
    What does he mean, my destiny?
[04:34] ---
    If my Dad calls it heavy...
[04:37] ---
    it means heavy as lead...
[04:42] ---
    Hey...
[04:44] ---
    Hey!
[04:46] ---
    Would you two please try to lighten up?
[04:50] ---
    Isn't it enough to have Rumaty be the gloomy one, back in America?
[04:54] ---
    Rumaty...
[04:56] ---
    The poor guy can't come back to his own country.
[05:01] ---
    That's right... he's all alone...
[05:05] ---
    Compared to that, my problems are just...
[05:09] ---
    Yeah, you're right!
[05:11] ---
    We've got to pep up.
[05:13] ---
    That's it!
[05:14] ---
    Driver, take us by the market.
[05:17] ---
    Kajika?
[05:19] ---
    I'm going to cook some food to cheer us up!
[05:24] ---
    Oh--oh God, no...
[05:47] ---
    It is! It's the "Stamina Soup" again!
[05:50] ---
    Better resign yourself to it...
[05:52] ---
    N--no...
[05:59] ---
    Harry...
[06:01] ---
    Hello?
[06:02] ---
    I need to talk to you about something... could you come alone?
[06:07] ---
    How about having dinner with me?
[06:15] ---
    With pleasure.
[06:19] ---
    Dinner sounds good.
[06:22] ---
    I'm afraid some business came up...
[06:25] ---
    Too bad...
[06:27] ---
    Until later.
[06:29] ---
    C--coward!
[06:35] ---
    I--it's not fair...
[06:37] ---
    why am I the only sacrifice?
[06:45] ---
    Eugene...
[06:48] ---
    What? What's that smell?
[06:52] ---
    Done!
[06:55] ---
    My sympathies...
[06:59] ---
    Mustafa, you've arrived!
[07:01] ---
    Just in time. Soup?
[07:04] ---
    Soup? That's the smell?
[07:07] ---
    My special Stamina Soup! It has a liver base.
[07:11] ---
    You made it?
[07:13] ---
    Uh-huh. Try some.
[07:20] ---
    Miss Kajika, wait--
[07:23] ---
    Eugene is a gourmet!
[07:25] ---
    To give him... how can you be so cruel?
[07:28] ---
    But he's having some now...
[07:35] ---
    Well. It's nothing inedible.
[07:37] ---
    Huh? You must be joking...
[07:52] ---
    H--hey, now...
[07:56] ---
    Love... it can overcome anything...
[08:06] ---
    Lee-Leng! Over here.
[08:13] ---
    I'd heard you were arriving in Raginei later tonight.
[08:18] ---
    There was something I wanted to talk to you about alone.
[08:21] ---
    Shall we start with some drinks first?
[08:25] ---
    "Nul Valhai..."
[08:27] ---
    It's a Ragineian sake, cooled and drunk chilled...
[08:30] ---
    A Ragi-language name... what does it mean?
[08:34] ---
    "Captive Moon"
[08:36] ---
    Suggestive, isn't it.
[08:38] ---
    Indeed.
[08:39] ---
    
[08:47] ---
    It seems Kajika's narrowed it down to three candidates.
[08:51] ---
    You've heard?
[08:53] ---
    Yes.
[08:54] ---
    What do you think?
[08:56] ---
    Whether those three are the three you chose...
[09:00] ---
    doesn't really matter now.
[09:02] ---
    What matters is that Kajika thinks they are.
[09:07] ---
    It's clear that there's that much fascination.
[09:11] ---
    But Kajika says she doesn't know.
[09:14] ---
    She's not sure if she has feelings for them as friends...
[09:18] ---
    or as men.
[09:22] ---
    In the end they were chosen as fascinating people...
[09:27] ---
    They weren't chosen as men.
[09:30] ---
    She's in a pretty pickle...
[09:31] ---
    she isn't on a Friend Hunt, after all.
[09:35] ---
    --Harry...
    --Hm?
[09:37] ---
    I have something I would like to ask you.
[09:39] ---
    What is it? So formal all of a sudden.
[09:45] ---
    I told them not to let anyone in.
[09:48] ---
    There's no danger of being bugged, either.
[09:50] ---
    Go ahead and speak.
[09:54] ---
    When you first explained...
[09:56] ---
    this "Husband Hunting Game" to us...
[10:00] ---
    you said there was a heavy destiny following Kajika.
[10:06] ---
    That destiny... it's deeply tied to the Kingdom of Raginei, isn't it?
[10:11] ---
    Oh? What makes you think so?
[10:14] ---
    You have a mysterious connection to this country.
[10:19] ---
    Once... when your foundation was no more than a single oil company...
[10:24] ---
    it was rescued from its greatest crisis by the previous king, Machaty.
[10:29] ---
    It's one of the great mysteries of the oil business.
[10:32] ---
    Why did King Machaty forsake even his own country's interests...
[10:38] ---
    to help Burnsworth out of its crisis?
[10:43] ---
    Please tell me, Harry.
[10:45] ---
    On my honor, I won't ever tell.
[10:49] ---
    To protect Kajika from here on out, I need to know!
[10:58] ---
    The former King Machaty...
[11:01] ---
    is my real father.
[11:09] ---
    What?
[11:10] ---
    To some extent, you were expecting that, weren't you?
[11:14] ---
    Fred, the father who raised me, told me when I was 14.
[11:19] ---
    His pet theory is that, once you turn 14, you are an adult.
[11:27] ---
    55 years ago, in New York...
[11:29] ---
    The Crown Prince of Raginei and my mother...
[11:32] ---
    fell in love.
[11:36] ---
    It was puppy love, but it seems it was real nonetheless.
[11:40] ---
    I wanted to know...
[11:43] ---
    everything.
[11:46] ---
    Did my father know about me?
[11:49] ---
    If he knew about me, did he love me?
[11:53] ---
    When Burnsworth had its great crisis...
[11:56] ---
    I was secretly waiting.
[11:59] ---
    For King Machaty...
[12:01] ---
    for my father to act.
[12:05] ---
    And then he acted...
[12:07] ---
    in a form that probably meant overcoming strong resistance from all those around him.
[12:11] ---
    For the sake of a beloved son...
[12:14] ---
    So I decided to forgive him...
[12:17] ---
    anything and everything.
[12:19] ---
    He told me he lived as the King of Raginei...
[12:23] ---
    and I decided, though I wouldn't take the throne of Raginei...
[12:26] ---
    to become the king of another country.
[12:30] ---
    You're close enough to king, Harry.
[12:33] ---
    However... secrets will leak out.
[12:37] ---
    No matter how you hide it, someday, somehow...
[12:43] ---
    Kajika is a direct descendant of the royal line of Raginei.
[12:48] ---
    If this were to become public knowledge, her fate would change drastically.
[12:53] ---
    Kajika becomes first in line for the throne...
[12:57] ---
    I can protect her as long as I'm around...
[13:00] ---
    but after I'm gone...
[13:02] ---
    Thus, the Husband Hunting Game.
[13:05] ---
    Correct... Searching for my replacement.
[13:08] ---
    That's the true nature of the game.
[13:11] ---
    You're probably upset...
[13:13] ---
    that you're not among Kajika's chosen three.
[13:19] ---
    No... that's...
[13:21] ---
    The aim of this game...
[13:25] ---
    is to search for the person who will love, help, and protect Kajika.
[13:29] ---
    However, no ordinary love will do.
[13:32] ---
    Unless the man is ready to throw himself away to protect Kajika, it's not enough.
[13:37] ---
    That's why you are excluded from the candidates.
[13:41] ---
    Your first priority is the Huang family.
[13:46] ---
    Is it not?
[13:48] ---
    From a young age, you had it drilled into you to think only of the good of the Huang family.
[13:54] ---
    You could not sacrifice the family for Kajika.
[13:57] ---
    So you can never be her husband.
[14:02] ---
    I...
[14:03] ---
    That's why I did business with you.
[14:07] ---
    I wanted your help... with the benefit of the Huang in mind, in exchange.
[14:12] ---
    You are a man of business through and through. You function only on give-and-take.
[14:17] ---
    But to put it conversely...
[14:19] ---
    as long as I still benefit you, you won't betray me.
[14:24] ---
    Isn't that right, Lee-Leng?
[14:28] ---
    Harry...
[14:30] ---
    you...
[14:55] ---
    Miss Kajika!
[14:58] ---
    What'd you find out?
[14:59] ---
    Right.
[15:00] ---
    It seems Master Lee-Leng and Chairman Burnsworth have already left the hotel.
[15:04] ---
    They'll be on time, then.
[15:06] ---
    Yes, they'll arrive any moment.
[15:14] ---
    I'm so nervous...
[15:16] ---
    I'm glad you came, Eugene.
[15:18] ---
    Nervous?
[15:19] ---
    --What for?
    --Well...
[15:21] ---
    All these foreign dignitaries, royalty...
[15:25] ---
    I don't belong at all.
[15:28] ---
    They're people, just like you. There's no need to be nervous.
[15:32] ---
    It's just like you to say that...
[15:37] ---
    Carl!
[15:40] ---
    --Kajika?!
    --Long time, no see!
[15:49] ---
    I thought I might see you.
[15:52] ---
    Everyone's here.
[15:54] ---
    I--I see.
[15:57] ---
    You're late!
[16:03] ---
    Well, Carl, Eugene. Excuse me for the other day.
[16:07] ---
    Not at all.
[16:09] ---
    Thanks for the visit.
[16:10] ---
    Carl, let me introduce you.
[16:12] ---
    You may recognize each other, but you may not have met yet.
[16:19] ---
    Lee-Leng Huang.
[16:21] ---
    Carl Rosenthal.
[16:23] ---
    I understand you are the son of the chairman, Nelson, and his future successor.
[16:28] ---
    My father has plenty of life left in him.
[16:30] ---
    --I wish him good health.
    --My thanks.
[16:33] ---
    Say, take a look over there...
[16:36] ---
    Oh? This is a rare spectacle, indeed.
[16:40] ---
    Burnsworth and Rosenthal, assembled face-to-face.
[16:45] ---
    Psst, Eugene...
[16:49] ---
    Eddie!
[16:53] ---
    I see you made it in...
[16:55] ---
    I'm working part-time as an interpreter for the News channel.
[16:59] ---
    Since I speak even a little Ragi, I'm a hot commodity.
[17:04] ---
    So... what's your business?
[17:08] ---
    Isaac Noei is in Raginei.
[17:11] ---
    Noei?
[17:12] ---
    I've been aiming to establish contact with the young officers of the Royal Guard.
[17:16] ---
    That's where I heard the name Noei.
[17:19] ---
    At this rate, something may happen.
[17:21] ---
    Something may happen?
[17:23] ---
    In one faction of the military, there are people who are dissatisfied with Somand taking the throne.
[17:28] ---
    Will there be a coup d'état?
[17:30] ---
    I'm trying to contact Noei because I want to know the same thing.
[17:33] ---
    If you hear from him, let me know!
[17:38] ---
    Hey! Eddie!
[17:40] ---
    See ya, got work to get back to!
[17:46] ---
    Things are already in a sorry state, the very day of the coronation...
[17:50] ---
    I don't care what becomes of Somand...
[17:54] ---
    but, beyond sheltering Rumaty, Kajika won't be able to stay out of it...
[18:00] ---
    Disguise ourselves as Royal Guard and sneak into the Spring Palace?
[18:03] ---
    I know it's reckless.
[18:04] ---
    But His Highness Somand... no... His Majesty the King...
[18:08] ---
    I have to talk to him.
[18:10] ---
    That's impossible.
[18:13] ---
    Goslen... what are you talking about?
[18:16] ---
    The daily morning audience with the Royal Guard has been suspended.
[18:19] ---
    Nonsense! Discarding a ceremony with such tradition so lightly...
[18:23] ---
    On the contrary, the entire composition of the guard has undergone a major change.
[18:28] ---
    It's almost tripled in size...
[18:31] ---
    and the word is that its authority exceeds even the national defense army...
[18:34] ---
    In short, it's become an army that defends only the King.
[18:39] ---
    But that... that makes them just like the Nazi S.S.!
[18:45] ---
    His Majesty Somand is a person who hates change...
[18:49] ---
    If the guard is being drastically changed, it's not His Majesty's idea!
[18:54] ---
    Someone must be hinting to him from the shadows...
[18:57] ---
    That--that would be...
[18:59] ---
    Whoever seizes the military controls the nation.
[19:03] ---
    The King carries tremendous authority in the Kingdom of Raginei...
[19:07] ---
    What on earth would someone intend to do with all that power?
[19:12] ---
    Quinza, after all...
[19:14] ---
    is this your doing?
[19:21] ---
    Your Majesty... what is the matter?
[19:25] ---
    Q--Quinza?
[19:27] ---
    It is the role of Grand Chamberlain Kanan...
[19:30] ---
    to come and get the King and take him to the ceremony.
[19:33] ---
    You mustn't send him away.
[19:35] ---
    I won't have anyone but you!
[19:37] ---
    Yes!
[19:39] ---
    You will be Grand Chamberlain, starting now!
[19:42] ---
    Preposterous... there is procedure for these things.
[19:48] ---
    Besides, I would not be the least fit for it.
[19:50] ---
    If it's not you, I'm in trouble!
[19:54] ---
    I'm...
[19:55] ---
    scared, Quinza...
[19:58] ---
    Of what, Your Majesty?
[20:00] ---
    Being King is impossible for me!
[20:03] ---
    All that responsibility coming to hang over me...
[20:07] ---
    I'm scared!
[20:09] ---
    Don't be foolish...
[20:11] ---
    With this, Your Majesty becomes in truth the most powerful person in Raginei.
[20:16] ---
    No one can tell Your Majesty what to do anymore.
[20:19] ---
    Now you can wield your power and reform your country to your heart's content.
[20:23] ---
    Quinza, stay by my side! Help me!
[20:28] ---
    Of course. To the best of my meager abilities.
[20:32] ---
    Q--Quinza...
[20:43] ---
    Master Kanan, if we don't hurry...
[20:45] ---
    The time for the coronation...
[20:47] ---
    I know!
[20:53] ---
    His Majesty is coming...
[20:57] ---
    S--sorry to worry you all.
[21:01] ---
    Oh, Your Majesty!
[21:02] ---
    Amazing, Master Quinza...
[21:04] ---
    Your Highness...
[21:07] ---
    Of course I will help you, Your Majesty...
[21:11] ---
    We'll use that hand to craft a new Raginei.
[21:16] ---
    And besides, Your Majesty's cooperation is necessary...
[21:20] ---
    Oh, Lord... please accept this...
[21:23] ---
    for this King will be my offering to you.
[21:55] ---
    They're here.
[21:57] ---
    I heard the actual crowning will occur just at dawn.
[22:01] ---
    I see...
[22:04] ---
    I can't see very well, but I wonder if Najayra is there too?
[22:07] ---
    If so, Rumaty ought to be there, too.
[22:11] ---
    Rumaty... I wonder how's he feeling as he watches this?
[22:19] ---
    Kajika... the one who should be up there is you.
[22:23] ---
    And then the one who should have been King, Harry...
[22:28] ---
    What does fate have in store?
[22:31] ---
    Inside the temple of the Royal Palace...
[22:33] ---
    the line of the royal family is proceeding quietly down the center.
[22:37] ---
    The rite of coronation will be held in the stately manner prescribed...
[22:41] ---
    by a thousand years of tradition.
[22:45] ---
    In front of the Palace, citizens holding lanterns...
[22:48] ---
    eagerly await the creation of the new King.
[22:52] ---
    When dawn comes in Raginei...
[22:54] ---
    the voices of even greater jubilation will resound.
[23:01] ---
    I can't stand feeling this distance,
[23:09] ---
    So I'm starting to search for your heart.
[23:16] ---
    Because you were always at my side, protecting me.
[23:23] ---
    And I'm afraid of being alone.
[23:30] ---
    Though it's been a long time, everyone's just the same.
[23:37] ---
    Whether sleeping now, or crying, I want to see your smiling face.
[23:44] ---
    Because I will love you, with heart overflowing.
[23:52] ---
    Don't turn away, look at me. I believe in you.
[23:59] ---
    So, no one else knows our secret thoughts
[24:07] ---
    The blue sea of a strong and beautiful time.
[24:14] ---
    In those arms, in that embrace, I'm alive.
