[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...

    "Encounters ~ Reunions"
[01:38] ---
    Look, Toranosuke!
[01:41] ---
    New York and Tokyo are great, but Hong Kong has a force all its own.
[01:45] ---
    Miss Kajika, it's time.
[01:47] ---
    Already? I'm not in the mood for a party.
[01:51] ---
    We mustn't be late...
[01:54] ---
    it's Master Lee-Leng's uncle's party. So! Please get in the car.
[01:58] ---
    Okay, okay.
[02:06] ---
    Kajika.
[02:08] ---
    Lee-Leng.
[02:11] ---
    Wow...
[02:13] ---
    Chinese clothes are definitely your best look.
[02:18] ---
    Welcome, Kajika and Toranosuke!
[02:21] ---
    Let me introduce my uncle, Ken-Chang.
[02:25] ---
    Pleased to meet you. I'm Kajika Burnsworth.
[02:29] ---
    This is my wife, Bridget.
[02:32] ---
    A pleasure.
[02:33] ---
    Kajika, be careful... this one can be cold-blooded.
[02:39] ---
    There was a time when he was that attached to me.
[02:43] ---
    Bridget.
[02:44] ---
    Well! Come now, you two, come in.
[02:48] ---
    Bridget, show them around.
[02:50] ---
    Come with me, please.
[02:54] ---
    Same old Bridget.
[02:57] ---
    Lee-Leng, I know you don't like this...
[03:01] ---
    but Bridget is all I can think about.
[03:05] ---
    The kind of woman you decide to marry is up to you, Uncle.
[03:08] ---
    However, if it looks like it's hurting the Huang family's ability to compete...
[03:12] ---
    Got it! Nothing like that will happen.
[03:15] ---
    I apologize for intruding...
[03:18] ---
    but as head of the Huang, I can't overlook anything, however small.
[03:24] ---
    No, no, naturally.
[03:27] ---
    Let's go. We mustn't keep your guests waiting...
[03:32] ---
    Kajika, these are my husband's younger brothers and their wives.
[03:37] ---
    Well, I'll be...
[03:38] ---
    the rumor is true, then, that Lee-Leng has been made bodyguard to the daughter of the Burnsworth family.
[03:44] ---
    What an honor for the Huang family.
[03:47] ---
    I'm just a chaperone...
[03:50] ---
    since Kajika's only a child.
[03:52] ---
    I've told you, I'm not a child.
[03:56] ---
    He does tend to be stubborn beyond his years.
[03:59] ---
    You've got that right.
[04:01] ---
    Miss Kajika--
[04:02] ---
    Well! Maybe now Tonsen will finally settle down.
[04:06] ---
    Uncle Tonsen is an important part of this family, too.
[04:10] ---
    But when you became the leader, he opposed it to the very end.
[04:16] ---
    He didn't even show up today.
[04:18] ---
    That's enough about Tonsen.
[04:20] ---
    Lee-Leng, let me introduce you to the guests.
[04:23] ---
    Excuse us, please, Kajika, Toranosuke.
[04:27] ---
    Well, Toranosuke, it's up to you now.
[04:29] ---
    Yes, sir.
[04:31] ---
    It's a happy accident that he's shown so much promise so soon.
[04:36] ---
    Lee-Leng is the pride of our family.
[04:40] ---
    He's really become a fine man...
[04:43] ---
    When his predecessor died, he was just 13...
[04:47] ---
    Even among his family, it's amazing how much faith they put in him.
[04:53] ---
    That's what it seems like...
[05:03] ---
    What happened, Kajika?
[05:06] ---
    You don't like the party?
[05:10] ---
    I've never been to a party like this before...
[05:12] ---
    but it seems like it might not be my kind of thing.
[05:16] ---
    That's natural, you're only 14...
[05:19] ---
    Um.. did Lee-Leng come here often, in the old days?
[05:24] ---
    Yes... he stayed here for a year when he was 13.
[05:30] ---
    Does that bother you?
[05:33] ---
    I have something nice for you.
[05:36] ---
    The key to the "secret garden" in the greenhouse.
[05:40] ---
    "Secret garden?"
[05:42] ---
    Yes, that's where I always used to go with Lee-Leng.
[05:46] ---
    With Lee-Leng...?
[05:47] ---
    That's right, would you like to see it?
[05:51] ---
    You'll know it by the ribbon tied to the doorknob.
[06:00] ---
    Miss Kajika? Where did you go?
[06:04] ---
    Miss Kajika!
[06:05] ---
    Kajika is fine, she's with me.
[06:08] ---
    Why don't you go enjoy the party?
[06:10] ---
    No, we'll stay together.
[06:12] ---
    Well, you can't exactly follow us into the women's powder room.
[06:17] ---
    B--But...
[06:18] ---
    Yes?
[06:22] ---
    Tonsen really didn't come.
[06:25] ---
    It looks like he really is getting in bed with the Rosenthals.
[06:29] ---
    Rosenthal?
[06:31] ---
    We've gotten word from Singapore...
[06:34] ---
    he intends to ally with the Rosenthals and oppose Burnsworth.
[06:40] ---
    But it's too late, this era belongs to Burnsworth.
[06:43] ---
    Naming you as bodyguard to Miss Kajika is saying, in effect...
[06:46] ---
    that you have been chosen as her future husband.
[06:51] ---
    Harry Burnsworth has America... no, the world at his feet.
[06:56] ---
    Lee-Leng, getting this girl for the family's sake would be...
[07:00] ---
    With Burnsworth, it's not that easy, Uncle.
[07:05] ---
    Master Lee-Leng! We've got trouble!
[07:08] ---
    Miss Kajika...
[07:09] ---
    What happened?
[07:11] ---
    She's gone!
[07:12] ---
    I just took my eyes off of her for a second in the powder room...
[07:15] ---
    Toranosuke! What were you doing?
[07:18] ---
    Well... I couldn't exactly follow them into the bathroom...
[07:21] ---
    Idiot! If you have to, follow her into the bath!
[07:25] ---
    You search the house, I'll take the garden!
[07:28] ---
    Y--yes, sir!
[07:31] ---
    Even Lee-Leng yells sometimes... I've never seen it before.
[07:35] ---
    Join in the search! She's practically a wild girl, raised on an island...
[07:41] ---
    An innocent country girl like that...
[07:44] ---
    will probably be easy prey for a city man.
[07:49] ---
    Good luck, Leon.
[07:57] ---
    It's just a greenhouse.
[08:01] ---
    Stupid, what was I expecting to find?
[08:11] ---
    I just knew so little about Lee-Leng...
[08:16] ---
    Hey, you taking a break too?
[08:19] ---
    Sorry, did I startle you?
[08:22] ---
    I'm Leon Wie. I'm a friend of Bridget's.
[08:26] ---
    How did you get in?
[08:29] ---
    The... the lock on the back door is broken.
[08:32] ---
    I come here sometimes to take a break from the party.
[08:35] ---
    But hey, today is my lucky day...
[08:37] ---
    meeting such a cute girl.
[08:40] ---
    Hmph. Well, you go ahead and relax.
[08:43] ---
    --Eh?
    --I'm going to go back in.
[08:45] ---
    W--wait a moment, can't you talk for a minute?
[08:49] ---
    But I don't know you.
[08:52] ---
    Well, if you talk to me, you'll get to know me, won't you...
[08:56] ---
    Is something troubling you?
[08:59] ---
    People who ask you to talk to them...
[09:02] ---
    are people with troubles, according to Maria.
[09:06] ---
    Ah... that's right. I'm troubled.
[09:09] ---
    Is that so? Okay, I'll listen.
[09:12] ---
    Ah... in short...
[09:14] ---
    There's a girl I fell for at first sight...
[09:16] ---
    but she doesn't care about me.
[09:19] ---
    Hm.
[09:21] ---
    So... do you understand?
[09:25] ---
    I'm talking about you...
[09:27] ---
    Well, you'd better give up.
[09:29] ---
    Huh?
[09:30] ---
    My dad definitely didn't choose you.
[09:34] ---
    You-- what are you talking about?
[09:37] ---
    Shut up!
[09:39] ---
    W--who's there? How rude-- come out here!
[09:45] ---
    Why is it...
[09:47] ---
    he seems familiar, like I've missed him... but I've never seen him before...
[09:52] ---
    What is this? You're a kid.
[09:55] ---
    I certainly am. But...
[09:58] ---
    the girl you're hitting on doesn't look any older.
[10:03] ---
    It's fine, so get out of here!
[10:05] ---
    I was here first.
[10:08] ---
    Didn't anyone teach you to wait your turn?
[10:11] ---
    What!?
[10:18] ---
    Too slow. That's no way to pick up girls.
[10:22] ---
    Girl!
[10:24] ---
    I'm not "girl!" I have a name; it's Kajika!
[10:28] ---
    I'm telling you, leave.
[10:30] ---
    Didn't anyone teach you to give your name when someone gives you theirs?
[10:35] ---
    I've never heard that.
[10:39] ---
    Pretty insolent, telling me to give you my name... I'll remember that.
[10:45] ---
    You little--!
[10:46] ---
    Look out!
[10:52] ---
    Blue eyes...
[11:03] ---
    Stop!
[11:04] ---
    That's enough! Don't take it any further!
[11:08] ---
    You're going to stop me, girl?!
[11:09] ---
    I am!
[11:11] ---
    Damn it!
[11:15] ---
    Stop this!
[11:17] ---
    Please calm yourself.
[11:19] ---
    If you are angry, direct it at me.
[11:23] ---
    Please hit your servant, Quinza. Go ahead, I'm ready.
[11:31] ---
    Stupid.
[11:33] ---
    You, taking the place of this girl!
[11:36] ---
    Girl!
[11:37] ---
    Never show your face around me again!
[11:40] ---
    This won't be forgiven!
[11:41] ---
    It's not "girl," it's "Kajika!"
[11:45] ---
    Kajika!
[11:46] ---
    Miss Kajika!
[11:47] ---
    Lee-Leng!
[11:49] ---
    What's going on here?
[11:50] ---
    Th--the... Prince...
[11:54] ---
    Oh, no...
[11:55] ---
    Leon! What did you do to my valued guest!
[11:59] ---
    Mr. Huang! That guy...
[12:01] ---
    Shut up!
[12:02] ---
    Say one word, and I'll kick you out of Hong Kong!
[12:06] ---
    Geez...
[12:09] ---
    Please accept my deepest apologies! I'll do anything!
[12:13] ---
    Uncle...
[12:15] ---
    Idiotic. Quinza, I'm going to my room.
[12:19] ---
    Thank you for the honor of your forgiveness!
[12:39] ---
    Who was that?
[12:41] ---
    His companion was dressed like a native of the Kingdom of Raginei.
[12:47] ---
    Mm-hmm. You're familiar with Raginei?
[12:50] ---
    Just the basics.
[12:53] ---
    Although it's located in Islamic Southeast Asia, it has its own religion based on the sun.
[12:59] ---
    The King is worshiped as the representative of the sun god, Ragi, and wields absolute power.
[13:04] ---
    And now, abundant oil and natural gas have brought great wealth to the small country.
[13:12] ---
    It's fair to say the King is the richest individual in the world.
[13:17] ---
    Until the crowning of the last King, the 73rd King Machaty Sheik, Raginei was an old-fashioned, undeveloped country.
[13:26] ---
    The Raginei that now exists is a result of Machaty's modernizing policies...
[13:32] ---
    and it's said that the current King, 74th King Woold, surpasses the last in active economic management.
[13:40] ---
    He's probably had considerable dealings with Burnsworth.
[13:44] ---
    I've been trying to get close to Raginei for a long time.
[13:47] ---
    After years of effort, the King entrusted me with his priceless jewel.
[13:54] ---
    It can't be... you mean that boy...
[13:56] ---
    The King has two sons.
[13:59] ---
    Crown Prince Somand is now 16, but his weak constitution keeps him from leaving the country.
[14:06] ---
    Then the second prince, His Highness Rumaty Ivan!
[14:11] ---
    Please wear the holy cloth.
[14:14] ---
    This may be another country, but it's still an insult to the Lord Ragi.
[14:18] ---
    You're stubborn, too.
[14:20] ---
    I don't wear the cloth anymore.
[14:22] ---
    Your Highness...
[14:24] ---
    From time immemorial, Raginei has flourished under the protection of the sun god Ragi.
[14:29] ---
    Covering your head, the closest part of you to the sun, shows respect for the Lord.
[14:34] ---
    Not to wear the holy cloth is heresy.
[14:36] ---
    The holy cloth is only for show.
[14:39] ---
    You're scaring me, Prince.
[14:40] ---
    Ever since your servant, Quinza, was appointed as your chamberlain...
[14:45] ---
    I have dedicated my life to God.
[14:47] ---
    If you cannot grant me this favor...
[14:53] ---
    I'll slit my throat here and now.
[14:56] ---
    --Quinza!
    --Brother!
[14:57] ---
    I don't grant you the honor of ending your life!
[15:01] ---
    Of course, ending your life without permission is treason to the royal family.
[15:05] ---
    I am more than ready.
[15:07] ---
    If I can warn Your Highness not to do this...
[15:08] ---
    I will be happy to take any amount of blame.
[15:16] ---
    I won't let you stain this room with your blood!
[15:19] ---
    The holy cloth, then...
[15:21] ---
    I won't wear the whole thing! I hate it dragging everywhere!
[15:25] ---
    Informal style is fine.
[15:28] ---
    Sezun, His Highness' holy cloth...
[15:30] ---
    R--right.
[15:33] ---
    I'm going to sleep!
[15:36] ---
    You really scared me...
[15:38] ---
    I thought you might really do it...
[15:41] ---
    I would have.
[15:42] ---
    Brother!
[15:44] ---
    Since you became a chamberlain, it's only natural that you've dedicated your life to the royal family.
[15:48] ---
    But for something as small as wearing the holy cloth...
[15:51] ---
    It's not small!
[15:53] ---
    Not wearing the holy cloth is linked to sacrilege against the Lord Ragi.
[15:57] ---
    So it would make a perfect pretext to threaten the life of his Highness.
[16:02] ---
    Not to mention, if any wished to incite others against him, how much more dangerous would it become?
[16:06] ---
    But...
[16:08] ---
    When the Crown Prince reached the age of 15, the right of succession was permanently bestowed on him...
[16:13] ---
    until the last King, His Majesty Machaty, abandoned that ancient rule.
[16:18] ---
    You realize what that means, Sezun.
[16:23] ---
    That's right. The right of succession does not rest solely with His Highness Somand.
[16:29] ---
    Crown Prince Somand...
[16:32] ---
    is afraid of our Prince Rumaty.
[16:39] ---
    Good girl, Lucia.
[16:40] ---
    You're a cute one, and you don't complain about anything I do.
[16:45] ---
    Quinza nags, and won't give me even the slightest freedom.
[16:50] ---
    You know what I want, Lucia? To become my brother's eyes and hands.
[16:56] ---
    Since my brother can't set foot outside the palace,
[16:59] ---
    I want to see the world for him.
[17:01] ---
    I have to grow up quickly...
[17:04] ---
    then my brother's advisers won't get in our way...
[17:06] ---
    and we'll be able to defend Raginei together...
[17:12] ---
    She was rude... that odd girl.
[17:15] ---
    She actually told me to give her my name...
[17:20] ---
    Who is he... the Orient Blue boy...
[17:24] ---
    Ah, I can't sleep!
[17:26] ---
    Now, Miss Kajika... please sleep quietly tonight...
[17:30] ---
    I know... I know, but...
[17:36] ---
    I'll do it! I'll go ask Lee-Leng. I can't sleep anyway.
[17:44] ---
    Toranosuke's not here...
[17:52] ---
    Ah! Orient Blue!
[18:00] ---
    Orient Blue!
[18:02] ---
    That damn girl...
[18:04] ---
    It's "Kajika," Orient Blue, I keep telling you that.
[18:06] ---
    What is this "Orient Blue?"
[18:09] ---
    It's the color of your eyes.
[18:11] ---
    That's what I call you since I don't know your name.
[18:13] ---
    Hurry and tell me!
[18:15] ---
    Rude girl!
[18:16] ---
    You think I give out the honor of calling me by name as freely as you?
[18:20] ---
    I'm going out here, so go home!
[18:22] ---
    --Hmm
    --What?
[18:25] ---
    I have a pretty loud voice...
[18:27] ---
    calling someone over here would be easy.
[18:32] ---
    Tell me your name.
[18:38] ---
    Lee-Leng...
[18:40] ---
    Too bad about today.
[18:42] ---
    Poor Leon isn't allowed in and out anymore.
[18:45] ---
    A lover or two won't make much difference to you, Bridget.
[18:49] ---
    None of that, now. He was a friend.
[18:52] ---
    I don't care either way.
[18:54] ---
    Lee-Leng...
[18:55] ---
    You're still stuck on things that happened a long time ago...
[18:58] ---
    Do you think of me as a cold-hearted woman?
[19:01] ---
    I don't ask you to believe me...
[19:04] ---
    but the first person I ever loved was you.
[19:07] ---
    But to tell my husband that I was leaving, that I felt nothing...
[19:10] ---
    it was impossible!
[19:12] ---
    Bridget...
[19:13] ---
    the idea that you should leave my uncle...
[19:16] ---
    never once crossed my mind.
[19:18] ---
    And while we're on the subject...
[19:20] ---
    my uncle knew about us.
[19:24] ---
    Wh--what are you... saying...
[19:26] ---
    Bridget...
[19:27] ---
    I just wanted to find out what women are truly like.
[19:32] ---
    In you, it's easy to see a woman's poisonous side...
[19:35] ---
    that's the only reason I picked you.
[19:37] ---
    Lee-Leng...
[19:38] ---
    If you can't stand my uncle, leave him...
[19:40] ---
    but...
[19:41] ---
    if you want to go on living in luxury, keep playing the role of his wife.
[19:47] ---
    Good night, Bridget.
[19:51] ---
    So, Rumaty, huh? It's a nice name.
[19:56] ---
    How old are you?
[19:58] ---
    How come I have to tell you everything?
[20:01] ---
    I just thought we might be around the same age.
[20:04] ---
    I'm 14.
[20:06] ---
    ...me too.
[20:07] ---
    You really are shameless.
[20:10] ---
    Wh--what?
[20:12] ---
    It's strange...
[20:13] ---
    How is it your eyes are blue?
[20:17] ---
    Although your features are Asian...
[20:19] ---
    It's because my ancestor had blue eyes.
[20:22] ---
    Well, do the rest of your family have blue eyes?
[20:25] ---
    Nope, just me.
[20:27] ---
    The color of my eyes is my particular pride...
[20:30] ---
    because it's proof that I carry the blood of Samaness.
[20:33] ---
    Samaness was the man who founded the country of Raginei. A great man!
[20:38] ---
    Raginei?
[20:39] ---
    You're from Raginei?
[20:41] ---
    My dad does business with your country, I think.
[20:45] ---
    Huh. An oil man...
[20:48] ---
    In Raginei, you have to cover your head with a cloth, right?
[20:52] ---
    Why is yours just wrapped around like that?
[20:55] ---
    This? This is the informal way.
[20:58] ---
    Quinza annoyed me into wearing it, one way or the other.
[21:01] ---
    The man from before?
[21:03] ---
    Yeah.
[21:05] ---
    He sounds just as stubborn as Lee-Leng.
[21:08] ---
    Lee-Leng?
[21:10] ---
    He's my chaperone.
[21:12] ---
    But... that's an important thing, isn't it?
[21:16] ---
    Yeah... originally, the holy cloth was a way to honor the Lord Ragi.
[21:21] ---
    Therefore believers would cover their heads, and, during the day, never remove the cloths in public.
[21:26] ---
    Never?
[21:27] ---
    There are two times you remove the cloth...
[21:30] ---
    to admit defeat, and to propose marriage.
[21:34] ---
    That's a lot to do for one little cloth...
[21:38] ---
    However, it's just an empty custom now.
[21:42] ---
    I hate that kind of thing.
[21:45] ---
    When we get obsessed with the formalities...
[21:46] ---
    we've lost the true nature of religion.
[21:50] ---
    I don't really understand...
[21:51] ---
    but it's good to have your own opinion.
[21:55] ---
    But... as part of the way of dressing in your country...
[21:58] ---
    I like it.
[22:00] ---
    A long time ago, my dad showed me a picture of it.
[22:05] ---
    They looked like people in a fairy tale...
[22:09] ---
    I wanted to try wearing it, too...
[22:13] ---
    You want to wear it?
[22:14] ---
    Yes, I do!
[22:18] ---
    What is it?
[22:23] ---
    Here, take it.
[22:26] ---
    In the temple, the high priest prayed over this holy cloth for many days.
[22:30] ---
    But then, isn't this really important?
[22:33] ---
    I can't take this!
[22:34] ---
    I said you could take it!
[22:36] ---
    Stop making me repeat myself, rude girl!
[22:42] ---
    Rumaty!
[22:44] ---
    Dammit, are you still...
[22:46] ---
    Does it suit me?
[22:57] ---
    Kajika!
[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.
