[00:09] ---
How did we end up like this?
[00:11] ---
What other choice was there?
[00:13] ---
Roroa has her hands full turning
slave traders into civil servants.
[00:16] ---
They're going to have to be certified,
[00:18] ---
so getting their licenses issued and
complaints dealt with has her in a tizzy.
[00:22] ---
Juna is busy doing her show,
[00:25] ---
and Aisha wanted to concentrate
on her martial arts training--
[00:27] ---
That's not what I'm talking about!
[00:29] ---
I meant, how did we end up
on this crazy road trip?
[00:32] ---
What else was I supposed to do?
[00:34] ---
When I said I was going
down to the castle town,
[00:37] ---
Serina insisted that I take Owen
and Carla with us as escorts.
[00:42] ---
But you were right when you said
[00:44] ---
that even a thrown-together
party of adventurers
[00:47] ---
would look like they belong
together more than we do.
[00:50] ---
You might have worn
that student uniform again,
[00:53] ---
like you did last time, remember?
[00:55] ---
It's not as though Owen doesn't
look like a teacher dressed like that,
[00:59] ---
and you actually are still getting
martial arts training from him.
[01:02] ---
You're one to talk, Liscia. If you
had dressed up like an adventurer,
[01:06] ---
we would look more like a party, right?
[01:08] ---
Wh-Why are you both
looking at me like that?
[01:12] ---
Either way, Carla would have stood out.
[01:14] ---
That's true.
[01:15] ---
Are you not both
being a little mean, sire?
[01:17] ---
--Well, you are in a maid uniform.
--Well, you are in a maid uniform.
[01:19] ---
I-I am not dressed up like this
because I wish to be, sire.
[01:24] ---
If it were not for Serina's orders,
[01:26] ---
I would much rather be wearing some armor.
[01:28] ---
Carla, you are our friend,
so whenever Serina isn't around,
[01:33] ---
you don't have to be so formal to us.
[01:35] ---
That's right.
[01:36] ---
You're concerned about my speech,
but ignore my complaint?!
[01:40] ---
Incidentally, Your Maj-- er, Kazuya,
are you sure you wish to go this way?
[01:45] ---
Yes, that's right.
[01:47] ---
Oh, but if we go this way...
[01:49] ---
Ah, is that what concerns you?
You're right.
[01:52] ---
If we keep going this way,
we'll end up in the "old" slums.
[01:55] ---
It is not exactly a place where
I would like to take you or Liscia.
[02:01] ---
Such a dingy place, full of crime.
[02:05] ---
That's all in the past.
[02:08] ---
You mean it's not anymore?
[02:09] ---
It would be quicker
to see it for yourself.
[02:13] ---
"...Keep on going anyway"
[02:15] ---
Our bond strikes deep into my left breast
[02:28] ---
We enjoy a fleeting happiness
after weathering one fog,
[02:33] ---
until our vision becomes obscured again
[02:39] ---
Bitterly betrayed, we grow
disgusted by our destiny
[02:44] ---
But why does the dawn still come?
[02:49] ---
We close our eyes and try to remember
[02:54] ---
the chance of stopping, of never meeting
[02:59] ---
From boundless zero to infinity,
[03:05] ---
dreaming is the heartbeat of believing
[03:11] ---
We'll move along alone and in pairs
[03:14] ---
Don't stay put; our small,
though by no means helpless steps
[03:20] ---
will open uncharted territory
for each of us
[03:25] ---
Realize we will never again
let our dreams die on the vine
[03:31] ---
The tear tracks that run down
our cheeks are shooting stars
[03:38] ---
We're going to grab hold of them
[03:45] ---
"Gargling and Hand Washing are
the Basis of Disease Prevention"
[03:49] ---
"Gargling and Hand Washing are
the Basis of Disease Prevention"
What do you think?
[03:51] ---
Huh? Mm-hmm, it's a lot different
from what I had pictured,
[03:55] ---
so you could say I'm surprised.
[03:56] ---
What you pictured?
[03:58] ---
That it was dark and gloomy,
musty and unsafe here.
[04:02] ---
I was told the same things, too.
[04:05] ---
Are these really the slums?
[04:07] ---
Now they're the "old" slums.
[04:10] ---
The former image is gone now, right?
[04:13] ---
When we tackled the sanitation problem,
we did our best to outfit everyone.
[04:17] ---
The sanitation problem? You mentioned
that while improving the city.
[04:22] ---
Was furnishing all this a part of that?
[04:25] ---
We tore down the old houses and built
them again to be more sunny and airy.
[04:30] ---
While we were at it, we eradicated
the criminals and illegal drugs,
[04:34] ---
so we aired the place out
in that sense, as well.
[04:37] ---
Did he just up and say that he
eliminated criminals and illegal drugs?
[04:41] ---
He did, he did.
[04:43] ---
Then we had the residents
move into the new buildings.
[04:47] ---
They're small and cramped,
but they're free.
[04:50] ---
In addition, by hiring them
to help keep the city clean,
[04:54] ---
they get both support and
sanitation at the same time.
[04:57] ---
You've been up to all sorts of things.
Sure you're not overdoing it?
[05:01] ---
It is hard work, but it's fun, as well--
[05:04] ---
rebuilding the city--
the country the way I want it.
[05:08] ---
And if, as a result, the people smile
more, where's the harm in that?
[05:12] ---
Sure. But if there's anything
I can do, let me, okay?
[05:17] ---
Of course. I'm relying on you.
[05:19] ---
I must say, this is a far cry from
the slums that used to be here.
[05:23] ---
Decay takes place in
an unclean environment,
[05:26] ---
and pathogens are more likely to spread.
[05:29] ---
"Pathogens"?
[05:31] ---
There are tiny creatures in the world,
invisible to the naked eye,
[05:34] ---
living in the air, soil, water, and
everywhere else, in countless numbers.
[05:40] ---
I just told you, you can't see them!
[05:43] ---
It's these little creatures
that make things spoil,
[05:46] ---
and cause illnesses to happen.
[05:49] ---
Ah! So is that why you recommend
that we gargle and wash our hands?
[05:54] ---
That's right.
[05:56] ---
Is it really these "pathogens"
that cause disease?
[06:00] ---
I believe what Kazuya tells us.
[06:02] ---
It's not a question of whether
they believe me or not.
[06:06] ---
But, since they solve all their problems
with magic, what can I do?
[06:10] ---
Medicine and hygiene as such are not
very advanced here in this world.
[06:15] ---
That's probably because light elemental
magic has such a widespread presence.
[06:18] ---
Light magic augments the ability to heal,
and can treat even serious wounds.
[06:26] ---
But light magic has the drawback
[06:29] ---
of being unable to treat the infections
and injuries of the elderly,
[06:32] ---
whose natural ability
to heal is diminished.
[06:35] ---
Up until just recently,
[06:37] ---
the treatment of infectious
diseases was rampant
[06:40] ---
with drugs made of dubious ingredients,
and questionable folk remedies.
[06:44] ---
When I started tackling
the sanitation problem,
[06:46] ---
my thinking was that I needed to do
something about that right away.
[06:50] ---
The first thing I had to do was make them
recognize that pathogens exist.
[06:54] ---
But how do you get people to acknowledge
something they can't see?
[06:59] ---
There are people--or rather,
a race of people--
[07:02] ---
here in this world who know of the
existence of germs and microorganisms.
[07:06] ---
They are said to be able to use an
enhanced perception, a "third eye,"
[07:10] ---
to see microorganisms which
ordinarily could not be seen.
[07:13] ---
A third eye?
[07:15] ---
Would that be the three-eyed race?
[07:17] ---
Mm-hmm.
[07:18] ---
I'm surprised they agreed
to work with you.
[07:21] ---
I've heard they were a race that
shunned contact with other races.
[07:25] ---
It seems as though the reason for
their clannishness is their third eye.
[07:31] ---
They can tell if something
is sanitary or not with a glance.
[07:35] ---
That's why they avoid contact
with other races as much as possible.
[07:39] ---
In other words, they see us
as having cooties!
[07:41] ---
Huh? Oh, yeah, pretty close.
[07:44] ---
Moreover, the three-eyed race knew
of the existence of pathogens.
[07:49] ---
As well as the fact that they cause
diseases that light magic can't treat.
[07:53] ---
Anyhow, using their third eyes, they
developed their own brand of medicine.
[07:58] ---
Their research into infectious
diseases, in particular,
[08:01] ---
is centuries ahead of the rest
of the world's level of medicine.
[08:05] ---
Oh, is that the reason why the
three-eyed race have such longevity?
[08:09] ---
They're long-lived?
[08:11] ---
You know how humans and beastmen
only live to around 60?
[08:17] ---
Well, their average lifespan
is well over 80.
[08:22] ---
Liscia is right.
They've extended their lifetimes
[08:24] ---
by developing these concepts of hygiene.
[08:26] ---
This "hygiene" is incredible.
[08:29] ---
So, I set up talks with them
to ask them for their cooperation.
[08:34] ---
Beyond that, I had them make a device
[08:37] ---
that will let other races see germs
and microorganisms.
[08:41] ---
Amazing!
[08:42] ---
That's our Kazuya, all right.
[08:44] ---
We had them back in my world,
after all. It's called a "microscope."
[08:47] ---
"Microscope"?
[08:49] ---
Yeah.
[08:49] ---
It's a device that makes small things look
bigger by putting lenses together.
[08:54] ---
Thanks to one of these,
I was able to prove
[08:57] ---
that what the three-eyed race
was saying is true.
[08:59] ---
And that's not all. They've already
come up with antibiotics.
[09:04] ---
"Antibiotics"?
[09:06] ---
I'll skip the explanation,
since it's pretty complicated,
[09:09] ---
but it's a substance that inhibits
the growth of pathogens.
[09:12] ---
So it's a medicine?
[09:14] ---
Yeah. They just called it "medicine," too.
But that gets confusing,
[09:19] ---
so on my own authority, I coined
the name "three-eyedine" for it.
[09:23] ---
"Medicine" made by the "three-eyed" race,
which makes it "three-eyedine."
[09:26] ---
So what does it mean that
this "three-eyedine" stuff
[09:30] ---
can control the growth of germs?
[09:32] ---
It's a wonder drug against
infectious diseases.
[09:34] ---
You can think of it as an amazing medicine
[09:37] ---
that can treat epidemics and prevents
open wounds from festering.
[09:42] ---
Treat epidemics? It can even
do something like that?
[09:46] ---
The three-eyed race can see germs,
[09:48] ---
so they were also able to find
a means of stopping them.
[09:51] ---
So then, can we mass-produce it?
[09:54] ---
Liscia?
[09:55] ---
This is something important.
I mean, it can even treat epidemics.
[09:59] ---
Not even mages can do that.
[10:01] ---
There's not much yet, but we're
ramping up production little by little.
[10:05] ---
That's amazing.
[10:07] ---
Anyhow, the three-eyed race
is fully cooperating with us,
[10:11] ---
and the kingdom has no plans
to hold anything back
[10:14] ---
when it comes to assisting
in the medical field.
[10:16] ---
Our biggest bottleneck was
the small number of gelmedics
[10:19] ---
from which the three-eyedine is extracted.
[10:22] ---
"Gelmedics"?
[10:24] ---
They're sort of a subspecies of gelins,
[10:26] ---
which can survive in
unsanitary environments.
[10:29] ---
Three-eyedine is extracted from gelmedics
before it gets refined.
[10:33] ---
Thanks to Tomoe's help,
the gelmedics' numbers are increasing.
[10:37] ---
Hold on.
[10:38] ---
Gelins are more like plants.
Can Tomoe still talk to them?
[10:43] ---
Apparently, she can't communicate
with them as well as animals.
[10:46] ---
Even so, she seems to have found out
their ideal living environment
[10:48] ---
and conditions for growth to some extent.
[10:51] ---
She may be our little sister, but she
more than comes in handy, huh?
[10:54] ---
Isn't that the truth?
[11:01] ---
Sterilize the unclean! There you are,
there you are, there you are! Sterilized!
[11:08] ---
Kazuya, that woman could be dangerous.
[11:10] ---
Wh-What is that weirdo doing?
[11:13] ---
That's a normal activity for her.
[11:15] ---
You know her?
[11:17] ---
She's Hilde Norg. As you can see,
she's from the three-eyed race.
[11:21] ---
What's more, she has superb medical
skills, even among her own people,
[11:24] ---
enough that she could be called a doctor.
[11:27] ---
She's a doctor?
[11:28] ---
Same old Hilde, I see.
[11:30] ---
Hmm? Who are you?
[11:34] ---
It's me.
[11:35] ---
Oh, it's you, the king. I thought
you were some vagabond.
[11:40] ---
Hilde, allow me to make some
introductions. These two are...
[11:43] ---
I know. The princess, and the former
air force general's daughter, right?
[11:48] ---
That is quite the embarrassing
outfit you have on.
[11:52] ---
Do you know Owen here?
[11:54] ---
I wouldn't even want to know
such a filthy old man.
[11:58] ---
What was that?!
Who are you calling filthy?!
[12:00] ---
Keep your distance, you musclebound freak.
[12:03] ---
So tell me, Hilde,
what brings you here today?
[12:06] ---
Leave the people here to themselves,
and they get unsanitary in a hurry.
[12:11] ---
I come by here regularly to offer
health tips, and to sanitize.
[12:14] ---
That reminds me, where's your partner?
Is he not with you?
[12:17] ---
Don't call him my partner.
[12:20] ---
Brad is somewhere outside.
[12:22] ---
He said he'd "rather treat innocent
stray dogs than overgrown pigs,"
[12:28] ---
or some sort of nonsense.
[12:30] ---
Same old Brad, too.
[12:32] ---
King, would you mind
talking to him for me?
[12:34] ---
He always makes me lecture
the junior students.
[12:38] ---
Who's this "Brad"?
[12:40] ---
Brad Jocker. He's another doctor,
one who's a counterpart to Hilde
[12:45] ---
as far as healthcare reform.
[12:47] ---
Is he three-eyed, too?
[12:49] ---
No, he's a young human,
who's a decent enough doctor,
[12:54] ---
but his personality could use some work.
[12:55] ---
Excuse me, have you been
listening to me, "Your Majesty"?
[13:00] ---
Oh, sorry. I'll have a word with him.
[13:03] ---
So, what brings the king
and his people here?
[13:07] ---
Oh, I wanted to check on the job training
center I put Ginger in charge of.
[13:20] ---
Goodbye, Miss San!
[13:22] ---
See you tomorrow!
[13:23] ---
Goodbye, everyone.
[13:27] ---
Your Majesty, thank you for stopping by.
[13:30] ---
Hey, San. Is Ginger around?
[13:33] ---
Master Ginger, His Majesty Souma is here.
[13:36] ---
Huh?!
[13:39] ---
Wh-Why, Your Majesty...!
[13:41] ---
I told you, you don't
have to be so formal.
[13:43] ---
P-Princess! I-I'm--
[13:46] ---
I m-mean, my name is Ginger Camus-mus.
[13:50] ---
Master Ginger, you're stuttering.
[13:56] ---
This is Carla Vargas,
and Owen Jabana. And that's--
[14:00] ---
Dr. Hilde is always stopping by to give
free medical checkups to the children.
[14:06] ---
Huh?
[14:07] ---
I just don't like having
dirty kids touching me,
[14:10] ---
so I'll be over there. Give me
a holler when you're finished.
[14:14] ---
If you're looking for the children,
they all went over there.
[14:17] ---
Yeah, yeah, all right.
[14:20] ---
Are you teaching the children to read,
write, and do math here?
[14:23] ---
Not just the children.
The adults are learning, as well.
[14:27] ---
The adults, too?
[14:28] ---
There are many adults who
can't read, write, or count.
[14:32] ---
We teach children during the day, and
adults at night after they finish working.
[14:36] ---
Is that right? That's amazing.
[14:39] ---
We plan to start teaching
other things too, eventually.
[14:43] ---
Right, Your Majesty?
[14:44] ---
Yeah. Such as training for civil engineers
and adventurers who go into dungeons,
[14:51] ---
and teaching medical techniques
from Hilde and others.
[14:53] ---
That's quite the variety of subjects.
[14:56] ---
Most academic research in this world
focuses on magic and monsters, right?
[15:01] ---
Mm-hmm.
[15:03] ---
But I think that there's an enormous
amount of innovation to be found
[15:07] ---
hiding within research that's
outside of the mainstream.
[15:10] ---
If you master any field, no matter
what it is, you'll be the best at it.
[15:13] ---
It's in becoming Number One
that you also become the Only One.
[15:16] ---
And you want to nurture
those "Only Ones," right?
[15:19] ---
Yeah. And in order to do that,
the first thing that needs to be done
[15:22] ---
is to raise the level of education
for the whole kingdom.
[15:25] ---
So what's the status of
the training center now?
[15:28] ---
Well, our attendance is way up.
[15:31] ---
The school lunch program that Your Majesty
suggested must be doing well.
[15:35] ---
What is a school lunch program?
[15:38] ---
I introduced a system
we used in my homeland.
[15:40] ---
If children under 12 years old study here,
[15:43] ---
they get to eat lunch for free.
[15:45] ---
Ho...
[15:47] ---
That's great! That alone will be
a huge help for poor households.
[15:51] ---
If they study hard,
[15:52] ---
there's a good chance they can escape
from a life of poverty in the future.
[15:56] ---
But on the other hand,
our adult attendance is poor.
[16:00] ---
They say that they've lived this long
without reading, writing, and arithmetic,
[16:03] ---
and aren't really going for it.
[16:05] ---
Opening their eyes in that regard
is my job. I'll think of something.
[16:11] ---
Please do.
[16:12] ---
Now then, we've checked that the job
training center is coming along well,
[16:16] ---
so on to the next stop.
[16:17] ---
What next stop?
[16:18] ---
Huh? Didn't I mention
the reason for coming out here?
[16:21] ---
--Mm-mm.
--Mm-mm.
[16:23] ---
We're going outside.
[16:24] ---
Outside of where?
[16:26] ---
Outside the walls.
[16:27] ---
That's even more dangerous than the slums.
[16:29] ---
That's where the refugee camps are.
[16:31] ---
I'm going to meet with those refugees.
[16:34] ---
Huh?
[16:34] ---
If you're going outside,
I'll come with you.
[16:37] ---
Wh-When did you get back?!
[16:39] ---
I finished disinfecting the kids.
[16:42] ---
And Brad is outside.
I'm going to really stick it to him
[16:46] ---
for making me do his lectures.
[16:55] ---
It is a dirty place,
[16:57] ---
but oddly enough, there's a powerful
look in their eyes, at least.
[17:01] ---
They came here from far to the north,
with nothing but the will to live.
[17:06] ---
It's likely that those who are here
are far tougher than we think.
[17:12] ---
People who have gone through
wars, natural disasters,
[17:14] ---
and other misfortunes
beyond their control,
[17:16] ---
and yet still try to stand
on their own two feet,
[17:19] ---
have their own unique brand of strength.
[17:21] ---
But then, that strength
can also be a hazard.
[17:24] ---
While their sense of unity grows stronger,
[17:26] ---
their sense of individuality
also becomes watered down.
[17:29] ---
By the way, So--I mean Kazuya, you said
you had given them some support.
[17:33] ---
What did you do?
[17:34] ---
It wasn't much, but we
sent food, firewood,
[17:37] ---
and other supplies they needed.
[17:39] ---
I also placed an order
with the adventurers guild
[17:42] ---
to make doing security
around here a quest.
[17:45] ---
The food support I get, but what's
this about adventurer security?
[17:49] ---
When foreign nationals are either
the victims or perpetrators of crimes,
[17:53] ---
it often leads to international incidents.
[17:55] ---
But it's different for these people,
who have lost their countries.
[17:57] ---
There may be those who think,
[17:59] ---
"As long as it doesn't become
an international case, it's all right."
[18:02] ---
Those sorts of people need to be punished.
[18:05] ---
No, there's also the possibility that our
own people could harm the refugees.
[18:09] ---
Hmm...
[18:15] ---
What's all the commotion?
[18:17] ---
Th-Those guys just showed up out of
nowhere and tried to kidnap our children!
[18:21] ---
They what?!
[18:22] ---
What's worse, they laid into
the people who tried to stop them!
[18:24] ---
Now, the adventurers who heard
what was happening are fighting them.
[18:29] ---
Carla, Owen, go help the adventurers.
[18:32] ---
As you command.
[18:33] ---
Not to do right when it is presented
is the absence of valor!
[18:36] ---
Let's go, Carla!
[18:38] ---
Hilde, help the priest.
[18:40] ---
Oh well, what other choice is there?
[18:43] ---
And I'll protect you, Kazuya.
[18:45] ---
As a hero, this is pathetic,
but please do.
[18:48] ---
I'm on it.
[18:51] ---
Can you fight if it should come to it?
[18:53] ---
Owen has been putting me
through my paces lately,
[18:55] ---
but he says I'm still only slightly
better than a fresh recruit.
[18:58] ---
That doesn't sound too reassuring.
If anything happens, stay behind me.
[19:03] ---
I guess that's all I can do.
[19:09] ---
Get down, Yuno!
[19:15] ---
Uh-oh.
[19:16] ---
Why, you...!
[19:20] ---
Keep calm. It just takes one strike.
If I can make it through one strike,
[19:23] ---
Yuno can get back to her feet.
[19:25] ---
I just have to remember the basic
moves that Owen drilled into me!
[19:34] ---
Whoa...
[19:37] ---
I did it! I really did it!
I managed to parry!
[19:39] ---
--Don't just stand there!
--Don't just stand there!
[19:50] ---
What were you thinking?!
[19:52] ---
How could you run off like that?!
[19:54] ---
Oh, I, uh... I'm sorry.
[19:57] ---
Don't "I'm sorry" me! I thought
my heart was going to stop!
[20:00] ---
If anything were to happen to you, I'd...
[20:03] ---
Hey, you! You just called me Yuno,
didn't you?!
[20:07] ---
How is it that you know my name?!
[20:09] ---
Oh, well... that is...
[20:11] ---
So, Kazuya, you seem
awfully chummy with her.
[20:16] ---
How do I explain my way out of this?
[20:19] ---
I don't suppose I can say I'm the king,
[20:21] ---
who has been going on adventures
with you as Little Musashibo, can I?
[20:24] ---
Hey, did you hear me?
[20:26] ---
Kazuya...?
[20:27] ---
What are you doing, Master?
[20:31] ---
I saw what you did! The sword skills
I taught you came in handy, huh?
[20:37] ---
Ah, nice work, guys!
[20:39] ---
Hold on, Kazuya!
[20:40] ---
Hey! I want an explanation!
[20:42] ---
So, who are these people, anyway?
[20:46] ---
Well?!
[20:47] ---
W-We were just hired by a slave trader.
[20:50] ---
--A slave trader? What for?
--Ow-w-w...
[20:53] ---
The king of this country has gone and
turned slave traders into civil servants.
[20:58] ---
So, because of some qualification
business, our employer failed his review.
[21:03] ---
But why are you attacking refugees?
[21:06] ---
For money to flee the country.
Women and children fetch a good price.
[21:10] ---
Did you say money?!
[21:11] ---
Ow, you're hurting me!
[21:13] ---
We were told the kingdom wouldn't go
out of their way to protect refugees.
[21:18] ---
You think that's true?!
[21:19] ---
W-We were just hired to do a job.
[21:30] ---
Carla, would you go and tell Hakuya
what just happened here?
[21:34] ---
I'm sure he'll take swift
measures to deal with this.
[21:37] ---
Yes, as you command.
[21:39] ---
I finished treating the injured.
But what do we do now?
[21:43] ---
It looks like we've drawn quite a crowd.
[21:45] ---
Aw, and we're supposed
to be incognito, too!
[21:47] ---
I told you, don't raise
your voice like that!
[21:50] ---
Ladies and gentlemen! Your children
who were nearly kidnapped,
[21:54] ---
were saved by these adventurers!
[21:58] ---
You saved our children!
[22:00] ---
Thank you so much!
[22:02] ---
Now's our chance to get away.
[22:04] ---
As you wish.
[22:05] ---
Ah! Wait the hell up! Hey, you! Hey!
[22:08] ---
So, now where are we going?
[22:10] ---
To see the refugees' chief.
[22:12] ---
What are you meeting him for?
[22:14] ---
To solve the refugee problem.
[22:28] ---
"What are we supposed to choose?"
[22:33] ---
Our voices imploring the future are hoarse
[22:38] ---
We've become so afraid
of what we could lose
[22:44] ---
that we're just frozen in place
[22:49] ---
How many times have we made mistakes
[22:53] ---
because we wanted to check our "answers"?
[22:59] ---
Before we knew it we were in love,
we had fallen in love
[23:07] ---
I'll hold fast to you
in the times we're in
[23:11] ---
We who set alight
our finite lives to fight
[23:17] ---
are noble and beautiful above all
[23:22] ---
As long as we create
as many bright tomorrows
[23:26] ---
as the indelible wounds we suffer,
[23:31] ---
we can be proud of all
we've woven together
