    This is great! Nice weather
    and beautiful scenery!
[00:24] ---
    This must be the charm of traveling!
    Yes! That's for sure!
[00:28] ---
    Hosei's not acting right...
[00:31] ---
    What's wrong, Taity?
    Why the puzzled face?
[00:35] ---
    T- Taity?!
[00:37] ---
    Just look at that clear, blue sky, Taity!
[00:42] ---
    And if you listen closely...
[00:44] ---
    There! Do you hear
    the singing of the birds?
[00:47] ---
    Y-yeah...
[00:49] ---
    All right, everyone!
    It's one last stretch to the capital!
[00:53] ---
    Let's lift our spirits up and go!
[00:56] ---
    Hosei is definitely not acting right...
[01:13] ---
    I'll never say good-bye
    to our prime forever
[01:22] ---
    And I feel like dumb,
    I don't know why
[01:31] ---
    I'll never say good-bye
    'cos I can't forget her°
[01:40] ---
    But I feel like dumb,
    I don't know why
[01:49] ---
    Try to scream
[01:52] ---
    Shattered dreams are
    made of stone and desperation
[02:01] ---
    Broken hearts blown in a
    freezing wind during winterlong
[02:06] ---
    Unspoken words floating on
    freezing wind during winterlong
[02:16] ---
    During winterlong
[02:36] ---
    Hey, Laila. What's wrong with ol' Hosei?
[02:40] ---
    He's smiling like crazy,
    despite what happened...
[02:49] ---
    Sheesh! You're so dense, Taito!
[02:52] ---
    It's obvious Hosei is
    forcing himself to smile.
[02:56] ---
    Forcing himself?
[02:57] ---
    I'm sure Hosei is making a desperate
    effort in his own unique way
[03:01] ---
    to hide his sadness...
[03:03] ---
    Oh... He's...
[03:07] ---
    Hey! What're you guys doing?
    Pick up the pace!
[03:19] ---
    The bridge is rotting.
[03:21] ---
    I don't think we'll be able to cross this.
[03:23] ---
    Don't be silly, Taity!
[03:26] ---
    We can cross this A-OK!
[03:29] ---
    Crossing the bridge! Crossing--
[03:30] ---
    Wait! Hosei!
[03:31] ---
    That's dangerous!
[03:33] ---
    Hosei!
[03:38] ---
    "Chapter Eight:
    What Echoes in the Gorge"
[04:01] ---
    He really has it bad...
[04:04] ---
    Yeah...
[04:05] ---
    But he did strike down his master
    who was like a mother to him.
[04:09] ---
    It is only natural for him
    to be this way, but...
[04:13] ---
    What's the big deal?!
[04:15] ---
    Then let's just figure out a way to help him!
[04:18] ---
    Taito. You make it sound easy,
[04:21] ---
    but what exactly do you have in mind?
[04:23] ---
    Oh, come on, there's all
    kinds of stuff we could do.
[04:26] ---
    Right, Laila?
[04:27] ---
    Urgh! You always push
    things on to me like that
[04:31] ---
    whenever you don't want
    to think for yourself!
[04:34] ---
    Yup!
[04:35] ---
    Don't act big!
[04:37] ---
    But we definitely can't
    keep going on like this...
[04:40] ---
    Yeah! Let's cheer Hosei up!
[04:45] ---
    So, do you have any
    good suggestions, Ryuko?
[04:49] ---
    Wait, you're pushing it
    on to me, Lady Laila?
[04:53] ---
    I can't come up with
    a good idea that quickly...
[04:55] ---
    Man! You're no help at all!
[04:58] ---
    You're in no place to talk!
[05:00] ---
    I- I know. Hosei is simpleminded.
[05:04] ---
    I'm sure some encouragement from *you
    *would cheer him up a little, Lady Laila.
[05:07] ---
    I've been trying to this whole time...
[05:11] ---
    Thanks, Laila!
[05:13] ---
    But it's okay! I'm perfectly fine!
[05:19] ---
    I'm not sure I had any effect at all...
[05:22] ---
    I see.
[05:24] ---
    A situation like this calls for food!
[05:27] ---
    Huh? Food?
[05:28] ---
    A full stomach will cheer him up!
[05:31] ---
    Which means meat! Meat!
[05:33] ---
    Yes! Okay!
[05:35] ---
    Wait, Taito! Where are you going?!
[05:38] ---
    Meat! I'm getting some meat!
[05:41] ---
    Sheesh, you always just do
    whatever you want, Taito!
[05:47] ---
    Or should I say you're stupid?
[05:49] ---
    A full stomach cheering someone up...
[05:52] ---
    Only a kid would think that up.
[05:54] ---
    Right, Ryuko?!
[05:56] ---
    Yes. There is logic to what Taito says.
[05:59] ---
    Not you too?!
[06:01] ---
    Lady Laila.
[06:02] ---
    What do you say to making
    a home-cooked meal for Hosei's sake?
[06:06] ---
    You want me to cook?
[06:08] ---
    Nothing makes a man happier
[06:11] ---
    than a meal prepared by the girl he loves.
[06:14] ---
    Oh? Somehow it sounds like
    you say that out of experience...
[06:18] ---
    Does that mean you have
    a girl you love too?
[06:23] ---
    No, umm, uhh...
[06:25] ---
    Oh! You do!
[06:27] ---
    Hey! What's she like?! Tell me!
[06:31] ---
    I- I'm not sure how to answer...
[06:33] ---
    Oh! Quit being embarrassed
    and just come out with it,
[06:37] ---
    lover-boy!
[06:39] ---
    Sh-she also lives at the Tong You Temple.
[06:43] ---
    Oh? So, is she pretty?
[06:45] ---
    Yes. She's a very intelligent woman.
[06:48] ---
    For an inexperienced person like me,
[06:51] ---
    she is a lofty, unattainable dream!
[06:58] ---
    I did it again...
[07:02] ---
    It's another bustling
    day for the soup line...
[07:05] ---
    It's hard to feel joy about it, though...
[07:17] ---
    Excuse me. You look like you're
    a member of the Tong You Temple...
[07:21] ---
    That's right.
[07:22] ---
    Could I possibly help?
[07:26] ---
    Help?
[07:28] ---
    No offense, but why would a wealthy
    girl like you want to do that?
[07:32] ---
    It's because...
[07:38] ---
    Thanks. We appreciate it. Come with me.
[07:41] ---
    Yes...
[07:43] ---
    Umm, Shokaku...
[07:44] ---
    Please go on.
[07:47] ---
    Thank you, Shokaku.
[07:51] ---
    You, there. If you're worried,
    why don't you help too?
[08:05] ---
    Basically, what's most important
    is to put feeling into it.
[08:08] ---
    It doesn't matter if the cooking
    is good or bad in this case.
[08:12] ---
    Somehow it sounds more like you don't
    expect much from my cooking.
[08:17] ---
    No, that isn't what I meant...
[08:20] ---
    Just so you know, I do have
    confidence in my cooking skills!
[08:25] ---
    My father even said,
[08:26] ---
    "You should save your cooking
    for your future husband!"
[08:31] ---
    Oh! It sounds like we can count on you!
[08:33] ---
    In that case, I'll meet up with Taito
    and gather some ingredients.
[08:38] ---
    Have Hosei fish or something
    in the meantime!
[08:42] ---
    Okay! Got it!
[08:43] ---
    All right! I'll be back!
[08:46] ---
    That's the opposite direction Taito's in!
[08:52] ---
    Meat! Meat! Meat!
[08:55] ---
    Wait, what exactly should I catch for meat?
[09:01] ---
    I guess it's not worth thinking
    too hard about! I'll just catch whatever!
[09:09] ---
    Found some already!
[09:13] ---
    Damn! Get back here!
[09:15] ---
    Hey! Give yourself up!
[09:19] ---
    You got some real guts!
[09:28] ---
    Don't tell me I'm lost...?
[09:40] ---
    What's taking so long?
    What's taking so long?
[09:41] ---
    What's taking so long?!
[09:43] ---
    What the heck are those two doing?!
[09:46] ---
    Honestly, now!
[09:48] ---
    How am I supposed to make food
    if the ingredients won't show up?!
[09:52] ---
    I can't wait anymore!
    I'll just have to do it myself!
[09:59] ---
    Rabbits are no good.
    They're too little to fill him up.
[10:07] ---
    Birds...
[10:08] ---
    Poultry! All right!
[10:13] ---
    Where exactly... am I?!
[10:23] ---
    Wow! Here's another!
[10:26] ---
    Sheesh! We should've
    done this from the start!
[10:36] ---
    Oh, wow!
[10:40] ---
    Are these Shenzhen Mushrooms?
[10:42] ---
    Eating one supposedly
    cures any illness instantly!
[10:47] ---
    Are these Kankin Mushrooms?!
[10:50] ---
    You hardly ever see any of these!
[10:53] ---
    Oh, it's a mountain of treasure!
[10:56] ---
    This should be enough
    to make Hosei feel better!
[11:02] ---
    No birds. Birds fly and stuff.
[11:06] ---
    Besides, bird meat is so dry
    it doesn't feel like you ate anything.
[11:10] ---
    Men need something
    that really fills the belly.
[11:14] ---
    What's that?
[11:19] ---
    Nah, I dunno...
[11:25] ---
    Hmm. They're kinda little, but I bet
    they'd make a good side dish.
[11:29] ---
    Okay! I'll snatch those little buggers up!
[11:34] ---
    G-get back here!
[11:41] ---
    N-not again...
[11:49] ---
    A dead-end...
[11:51] ---
    All right.
[11:52] ---
    The correct thing to do at a time like this
    is follow the path you took back.
[11:59] ---
    Which one is it?
[12:12] ---
    Okay, Hosei. Pay close attention.
[12:15] ---
    Fishing is just like martial arts.
[12:18] ---
    You pull the rod up while matching
    your opponent's breathing and timing.
[12:21] ---
    Do that and... Gotcha!
[12:25] ---
    See?
[12:28] ---
    Master...
[12:31] ---
    Hosei.
[12:34] ---
    I, umm, tried making some food for you.
[12:39] ---
    Will you have some?
[12:42] ---
    Really?! That's great!
[12:44] ---
    Okay! Here you go!
[12:46] ---
    Despite how I seem,
    cooking is my specialty!
[12:49] ---
    Plus I know all about mushrooms
    and medicinal herbs and stuff!
[13:18] ---
    Okay! This way!
[13:22] ---
    Meat! Meat! Meat! Meat!
[13:27] ---
    What is it this time?!
[13:29] ---
    I don't care, just as long as it's meat!
[13:36] ---
    Take this!
[13:42] ---
    Huh?
[13:46] ---
    C'mon. I'm sorry about that, Ryuko.
[13:49] ---
    Will you just let it go now?
[13:52] ---
    I just figured you were
    a bear or something...
[13:55] ---
    Still, the fact you couldn't
    dodge such a simple attack
[13:58] ---
    also goes to show that you lack
    training or that you're stupid...
[14:02] ---
    I didn't dodge it because
    I knew it was you!
[14:06] ---
    I never imagined that you would
    suddenly attack a comrade!
[14:12] ---
    Besides, you always run off without
    considering the consequences!
[14:16] ---
    I went through so much trouble
    looking for you all over the place...
[14:21] ---
    Wait, did you get lost?
[14:24] ---
    N-no! I was not lost at all!
[14:27] ---
    Oh! You got lost and lonely!
[14:31] ---
    You should've just said so--!
[14:34] ---
    Say any more and I won't
    remain my mild self!
[14:38] ---
    'K-kay...
[14:40] ---
    Anyway, we need to gather ingredients
    and hurry back to Lady Laila.
[14:45] ---
    Yeah, true.
[14:51] ---
    Hosei!
[14:52] ---
    I kind of messed up last time,
    but it's okay this time!
[14:57] ---
    It was a little bitter last time,
    so I tried adding things to spice it up!
[15:02] ---
    Okay! Eat up!
[15:16] ---
    Ryuko. Did you hear something just now?
[15:19] ---
    No.
[15:21] ---
    Anyway, let's hurry.
    The sun is about to set.
[15:24] ---
    Finding prey in the darkness
    will prove difficult.
[15:28] ---
    Dammit!
[15:29] ---
    I should've just caught those things,
    even though they were small!
[15:34] ---
    Drop the act. I'm sure
    you just let them get away.
[15:35] ---
    Wh-what?! You be quiet!
    You weren't even there to see me!
[15:40] ---
    Even so, I can tell.
[15:41] ---
    Knowing you, you ran at them
    head-on and let them escape easily.
[15:47] ---
    Wild animals are surprisingly
    smart, after all.
[15:51] ---
    And where did you
    end up at after getting lost?
[15:55] ---
    Quit harping on the past.
[15:58] ---
    We'll need to be careful whenever
    we ask you to lead the way from now on!
[16:04] ---
    Perhaps you should gain enough intelligence
[16:06] ---
    to keep wild animals
    from making a fool of you.
[16:09] ---
    What did you say?!
[16:20] ---
    There's some meat!
[16:22] ---
    Wait, Taito! I don't think
    you should go up there!
[16:26] ---
    Hah! If you're too afraid,
    then just wait here!
[16:38] ---
    What?!
[16:39] ---
    What's wrong, Taito? If you don't
    hurry up, the prey will be all mine!
[16:45] ---
    Why, you...!
[16:49] ---
    I won't lose!
[16:55] ---
    Looks like I win!
[16:57] ---
    No, I was one instant quicker.
[17:10] ---
    Hosei...
[17:12] ---
    My master... My master is calling...
[17:18] ---
    Hosei!
[17:20] ---
    I got it just right this time!
[17:21] ---
    It was too bitter the first time
    and too spicy the second time, right?
[17:25] ---
    So this time I took the middle
    route and made it sweet!
[17:29] ---
    Okay! Eat lots and lots!
[17:39] ---
    This prey is mine! So go
    wander around all happy-like!
[17:43] ---
    That's my line!
[17:45] ---
    You should go play with
    mountain monkeys or something!
[17:49] ---
    So you insist on getting in my way?!
[17:52] ---
    No, I can't count on you to do this job!
[17:58] ---
    Not good enough!
[18:00] ---
    "Take advantage of every
    opportunity," huh?!
[18:06] ---
    It looks like you've improved a little.
[18:10] ---
    What's that?!
[18:11] ---
    What?! What?!
[18:15] ---
    Oww...
[18:16] ---
    That's not fair, Ryuko!
[18:17] ---
    You have a bad habit
    of quickly lowering your guard.
[18:20] ---
    Why, you...!
[18:21] ---
    You sure know how to get me mad!
    You sure know how to get me mad!
[18:25] ---
    What about you?!
[18:26] ---
    You kept saying that I'm stupid
    and that I have no sense of direction!
[18:31] ---
    I did call you stupid, but I said
    nothing about your sense of direction!
[18:34] ---
    Silence!
[18:47] ---
    This time! This time it
    will be good for sure!
[19:01] ---
    There! Perfect!
[19:02] ---
    This will make Hosei feel
    100% better in one shot!
[19:10] ---
    You have the strength of a brute!
[19:13] ---
    What are you, a monkey?!
[19:16] ---
    Is fleeing all you can do, Taito?!
[19:18] ---
    All right! I'll come at you
    if that's what you want!
[19:33] ---
    That idiot! He's using inner-channeling?!
[19:35] ---
    Eat this, Ryuko!
[19:58] ---
    Honestly, you two! What in
    the world were you thinking?!
[20:02] ---
    Explain why you wound up fighting
    all buddy-buddy-like until the sun set
[20:05] ---
    instead of going to collect
    ingredients like you said!
[20:08] ---
    W-we weren't fighting. We
    were working together--
[20:10] ---
    No excuses!
[20:12] ---
    Right...
[20:13] ---
    Urgh! I guess I was the only
    one busting my butt today!
[20:17] ---
    Incidentally, Lady Laila...
    Where is Hosei?
[20:21] ---
    He said he wanted to be alone for a while...
[20:25] ---
    Laila. Don't tell me
[20:27] ---
    you did something bad to Hosei...?
[20:31] ---
    What are you talking about?!
    I didn't do anything bad!
[20:35] ---
    All I did was cook some food
    to help cheer up Hosei--
[20:39] ---
    Whoa! You had Hosei eat your cooking?!
[20:43] ---
    Hold on, Taito!
    What do you mean by that?!
[20:46] ---
    Even Hosei would want to run away
    after eating your cooking...
[20:52] ---
    It's that bad?
[20:54] ---
    It's worse than bad!
[20:56] ---
    One time she almost killed me and our dad!
[20:59] ---
    That's horrifying...
[21:00] ---
    You two!
[21:04] ---
    Laila... It's okay now.
[21:06] ---
    Hosei...
[21:07] ---
    Hosei...
[21:15] ---
    What's this?
[21:17] ---
    I caught it.
[21:19] ---
    You're hungry, right?
    Let's all eat it.
[21:22] ---
    Hosei...
[21:23] ---
    And... thanks.
[21:27] ---
    I'm all better now.
[21:34] ---
    Man... I guess you can be
    thoughtful sometimes, Hosei.
[21:38] ---
    What do you mean "sometimes"?!
[21:42] ---
    Oh! You already have a stew ready!
[21:45] ---
    I'm quite hungry, too!
[21:48] ---
    Wait! That's...!

[23:39] ---
    If you have a just cause,
    the heavens will show you a way.
[23:43] ---
    I came to have a chat with you, boy.
[23:47] ---
    The imperial capital has light
    and darkness. This is its true face.
[23:50] ---
    What is the emperor doing?!
[23:53] ---
    The gears of karma grind and accelerate.
[23:57] ---
    On Hero Tales, "Chapter Nine:
    Shadow on the Imperial Capital."
[24:12] ---
    The heavens have approved!
    Become the emperor!
[24:12] ---
    "See you next time!"
