[00:05] Cargo Worker A
    Lower it down! All right, next!
[00:08] Cargo Worker B
    We still got more!
[00:10] Cargo Worker A
    Pick up the pace!
[00:15] Kaina
    So, this is Valghia.
[00:18] Cargo Worker A
    Hey, make sure you've got a good grip!
[00:21] Cargo Worker B
    We'd be in so much trouble if we spilled any!
[00:25] Ririha
    Over there.
[00:28] Ririha
    Now's our chance to run.
[00:29] Yaona
    Yeah.
[00:31] Yaona
    Um, Kaina?
[00:35] Yaona
    Come on, Kaina!
[00:37] Kaina
    Oh, right.
[00:38] Cargo Worker A
    All right! Let's move on to the next one!
[00:44] Ririha
    It's warm in here, but...
[00:47] Yaona
    It smells.
[00:48] Ririha
    First, we need to come
    up with an escape plan.
[00:52] Ririha
    We also need—
[00:55] Yaona
    Right, food.
[00:58] Citizen 2
    Look at how much you spilled!
[01:00] Citizen 2
    That was the last of our water!
[01:16] Ririha
    Is this... Valghia?
[01:20] Kaina
    It's huge.
[01:23] Yaona
    But this fortress is only
    impressive from the outside.
[01:27] Kaina
    Hm? Over there...
[01:29] Ririha
    Huh?
[01:30] Kaina
    I wonder what's going on?
[01:33] Soldier R
    Don't bother lining up if you
    don't have a ration stamp!
[01:37] Soldier R
    Water's too precious to give
    to people who don't work!
[01:40] Boy B
    I'm begging you, please, just give me a sip.
[01:43] Soldier A
    Tsk! Bug off!
[01:49] Ririha
    I guess water is also precious in Valghia.
[01:53] Soldier R
    All right, that's it for today.
[01:56] Soldier R
    Now scram!
[01:57] Citizen 1
    When's the next ration?
[01:59] Citizen 2
    We'll die at this rate!
[02:01] Soldier B
    Listen up! You just need
    to hold on a little longer!
[02:03] Soldier B
    Once we defeat Atland, we'll get water!
[02:07] Citizens
    Yes!
[02:08] Citizens
    That's right!
[02:09] Citizens
    Defeat Atland!
[02:12] Citizens
    We need to get more water!
[02:13] Citizens
    Don't let them hog it all!

[03:53] Ririha
    It'll be tough to steal a ship.
[03:56] Yaona
    Ugh, we need to get back to our
    nation before the fighting starts.
[04:00] Ririha
    I guess there's no stopping this war.
[04:04] Kaina
    Let's look around the city one more time.
[04:07] Ririha
    Yeah.
[04:09] Yaona
    We'll stand out like this.
[04:10] Yaona
    Let's hide our things.
[04:12] Kaina
    Okay.
[04:13] Ririha
    I'm a little hot, myself.
[04:18] Ririha
    Kaina.
[04:19] Kaina
    Thanks.
[04:19] Yaona
    Where should we hide it?
[04:21] Ririha
    Oh.
[04:22] Kaina
    What's wrong?
[04:24] Ririha
    It snapped.
[04:25] Kaina
    What?
[04:27] Ririha
    Huh?
[04:29] Ririha
    What?!
[04:33] Yaona
    Huh? Hey!
[04:36] Kaina
    Oh...
[04:38] Ririha
    Ah!
[04:40] Ririha
    Kaina, Yaona, go after those guys!
[04:41] Yaona
    You got it.
[04:42] Kaina
    Huh?
[04:44] Kaina
    Um...
[04:49] Ririha
    Stop!
[04:59] Kaina
    Wait!
[05:07] Ririha
    Please, stop!
[05:17] Kaina
    Hm?
[05:23] Kaina
    Oh...
[05:24] Kaina
    Wait!
[05:38] Ririha
    Why'd you do that?!
[05:39] Ririha
    Are you with those thieves?!
[05:42] Noze
    You're the new guys they brought
    on the boat today, aren't you?
[05:46] Ririha
    Huh?
[05:46] Noze
    I've never seen clothes like yours before.
[05:49] Kaina
    Oh, uh, yeah...
[05:51] Noze
    Just give up. Kindness won't
     get you anywhere here.
[05:55] Noze
    Everyone's struggling to get by.
[05:59] Ririha
    Oh, hold on...
[06:10] Soldier R
    Hey, you can't just waltz in here!
[06:13] Chiru
    Come on, now. I just want some water rations.
[06:17] Soldier R
    You won't get special treatment just
    because you're a kid. Get lost.
[06:20] Chiru
    Don't be so cold.
[06:22] Chiru
    I've got a special ration stamp for you.
[06:25] Soldier R
    Huh?
[06:26] Chiru
    Ta-dah!
[06:35] Chiru
    Enchanting, isn't it? It's one of a kind.
[06:39] Chiru
    So? Don't you think it's
    a special ration stamp?
[06:46] Soldier R
    What do you think?
[06:47] Soldier R
    Enchanting, isn't it? It's one of a kind.
[06:50] Soldier R
    I'm sure the higher-ups will have
    an eye for stuff like this.
[07:01] Ngapoge
    What do you have there?
[07:03] Soldier R
    Sir?
[07:04] Soldier R
    Um, that's mine!
[07:06] Ngapoge
    This accessory is made from
    shells found in Atland.
[07:10] Ngapoge
    Where did you get this?
[07:11] Soldier R
    Sir?
[07:12] Ngapoge
    Tell me the truth, and you won't be punished.
[07:14] Soldier R
    Yes, sir! A kid from the
    slums brought it to me.
[07:18] Ngapoge
    Bring this child to me immediately.
[07:21] Soldier R
    Sir? Um...
[07:22] Ngapoge
    I said immediately!
[07:23] Soldier R
    Yes, sir!
[07:28] Ngapoge
    I'll need to notify the admiral.
[07:34] Boy C
    Is this a hunting tool or something?
[07:38] Boy A
    Noze, did you hear?!
[07:41] Noze
    Don't forget our ritual.
[07:43] Boy A
    R-Right.
[07:46] Boy C
    What's going on?
[07:48] Boy A
    Apparently, the Princess of Atland
    has infiltrated the city.
[07:51] Noze
    The Princess of Atland?
[07:52] Boy A
    They're going to execute her now.
[07:55] Boy A
    Let's go see what she looks like.
[08:00] Noze
    I guess.
[08:04] Yaona
    This sure is a crappy place.
[08:07] Yaona
    And I'm hungry.
[08:11] Soldier A
    The execution of the princess of our enemy,
    the nation of Atland, is about to take place!
[08:16] Soldier A
    Everyone, gather around!
[08:18] Soldier A
    Everyone, gather around!
[08:21] Citizen 3
    They're gonna execute the Princess of Atland?
[08:23] Citizen 4
    What does she look like?
[08:24] Citizen 5
    Why's she in Valghia?
[08:54] Yaona
    What's going on?
[08:56] Yaona
    Sis is right here.
[08:59] Kaina
    That necklace...
[09:02] Kaina
    That necklace. She's...
[09:04] Boy A
    Huh? Isn't that...
[09:05] Noze
    Chiru!
[09:06] Noze
    How'd she get mixed up in this?
[09:09] Kaina
    Oh, you're that guy from before.
[09:10] Noze
    Huh? Oh!
[09:11] Boy A
    Crap.
[09:12] Ririha
    Hey, you!
[09:14] Noze
    Tsk!
[09:15] Ngapoge
    People of Valghia!
[09:18] Ngapoge
    Ahem! Before you is
    Princess Ririha of Atland!
[09:23] Chiru
    No, I'm—
[09:25] Ngapoge
    In a few days, we will defeat Atland!
[09:31] Ngapoge
    But before we do that, we will
    execute the captured princess!
[09:40] Soldier
    Shut up.
[09:43] Yaona
    How was she mistaken for Sis?
[09:45] Noze
    What? What was that?
[09:47] Noze
    What did you just say?!
[09:48] Yaona
    Huh? Uh...
[09:50] Noze
    Don't tell me you're...
[09:55] Hundergil
    Don't you think this is the best way
    to lure out a cockroach in hiding?
[10:02] Noze
    You! You're the Princess
     of Atland, aren't you?!
[10:06] Noze
    Why is Chiru being executed in your place?!
[10:08] Yaona
    Because she stole something
     from my sister!
[10:11] Ririha
    No. They're using her as bait to get to me.
[10:15] Kaina
    Huh?
[10:17] Yaona
    Then we can't afford to show ourselves.
    I'm sorry about the girl, but...
[10:21] Noze
    You little...
[10:32] Noze
    Never mind. What's the point?
[10:36] Noze
    Everyone here is just trying to get
    by for one more day anyway.
[10:57] Ririha
    Kaina.
[10:59] Kaina
    Okay.
[11:02] Yaona
    Huh? Sis!
[11:09] Ririha
    Hear me, Valghians!
[11:15] Ririha
    Let the girl go!
[11:25] Ririha
    I am the Princess of Atland, Ririha!
[11:35] Ririha
    That girl is not from Atland!
[11:39] Ririha
    If you execute an innocent girl
     as if she was the princess,
[11:43] Ririha
    then the entire Snow Sea will hear
    about Valghia's incompetence!
[12:12] Ngapoge
    Hey, let her go!
[12:13] Soldier A
    Yes, sir!
[12:25] Citizen 6
    Is she the real Princess of Atland?
[12:27] Citizen 7
    She showed herself, just to be killed?
[12:31] Boy A
    I'm going to go get Chiru!
[12:33] Noze
    I'm sorry we can't help you
    after you saved her.
[12:37] Noze
    We just wouldn't stand a chance
    against the Black Armor of Valghia.
[12:41] Kaina
    The Black Armor of Valghia?
[12:44] Noze
    That's right. No one in the whole Snow Sea
     can beat Amelothée in a sword fight.
[12:54] Amelothée
    I told you noble actions
    would be the death of you.
[12:56] Ririha
    You did, but it's not something
    I can easily change.
[13:02] Amelothée
    That may be so. Well, we have no intention
     of actually killing you, so don't worry.
[13:07] Ririha
    What?
[13:08] Amelothée
    If you want to save your people,
[13:10] Amelothée
    abandon your family status and live
    on as a soldier of Valghia.
[13:16] Ririha
    Like you did, you mean?
[13:20] Yaona
    Sis!
[13:21] Kaina
    Yaona!
[13:22] Kaina
    Hold on.
[13:26] Amelothée
    Don't concern yourself with me.
    You should worry about yourself.
[13:32] Kaina
    Hold this.
[13:33] Yaona
    Huh? H-Hey, wait!
[13:34] Ririha
    You know, I'm something of a daredevil.
[13:45] Yaona
    What?!
[14:08] Amelothée
    Well... She certainly
    can't be underestimated.
[14:13] Ngapoge
    G-Get them!
[14:14] Soldier
    Yes, sir!
[14:15] Ngapoge
    There's more of them in hiding!
[14:17] Ngapoge
    Scour the lower levels and find them all!
[14:40] Soldier B
    They've escaped to the lower levels!
[14:42] Soldier C
    Find them!
[14:45] Boy C
    Noze, we've got trouble!
[15:03] Ririha
    Thanks, Kaina. You saved my life again.
[15:09] Soldier D
    Where'd they go?!
[15:11] Soldier B
    Overlook nothing! Not even a caddis fly!
[15:13] Noze
    Quick! Follow me!
[15:23] Noze
    Here, go on in.
[15:26] Chiru
    Brother!
[15:28] Noze
    Chiru! I'm so glad you're safe.
[15:33] Chiru
    Um, thanks.
[15:36] Ririha
    Are you all right?
[15:38] Chiru
    Yup!
[15:41] Kaina
    Um, where are we?
[15:50] Noze
    This is our home.
    The Skull Brotherhood's hideout.
[15:53] Boy A
    It's a bad idea to keep them here.
[15:55] Noze
    We owe them. We can't just leave them.
[15:57] Noze
    I really appreciate what you did.
[15:59] Noze
    I'm Noze, and this is Chiru.
[16:01] Ririha
    I'm Ririha, and this is my brother, Yaona.
[16:05] Kaina
    I'm Kaina.
[16:07] Noze
    Guess we'd better return what we stole.
[16:09] Chiru
    Ah...
[16:09] Chiru
    This, too.
[16:13] Noze
    So, what brings the Princess
    of Atland to Valghia?
[16:23] Noze
    Hey, bring them something to eat.
[16:37] Soldier D
    Did anyone see anybody suspicious?!
[16:41] Soldier E
    We're giving out water to anyone
    who brings us information!
[16:47] Boy A
    It's not good! It's swarming with
     soldiers looking for them up there.
[16:51] Noze
    Of course they are, seeing that
    Atland is their next mark.
[16:54] Yaona
    That's why we have to
    find a way back, somehow.
[16:57] Noze
    Even if you do get back, you'll soon be
    at war, and Atland will lose.
[17:02] Yaona
    Atland will not lose!
[17:03] Boys
    Huh?
[17:06] Boy A
    You really think you can beat Valghia?
[17:11] Yaona
    Valghia's fleet may be impressive,
    but this fortress is just for show.
[17:16] Boy C
    Oh, these guys don't know.
[17:19] Yaona
    Know what?
[17:19] Boy A
    That there's something scarier
    than the fortress or the fleet.
[17:24] Ririha
    What is it?
[17:25] Noze
    The admiral.
[17:27] Ririha
    Huh?
[17:28] Noze
    The admiral has a pet monster.
[17:30] Kaina
    Monster?
[17:31] Boy A
    Yeah. No one can beat that monster.
     Not even Amelothée.
[17:36] Boy C
    Our nation fell because of that monster, too.
[17:38] Ririha
    What?
[17:39] Yaona
    You weren't born here?
[17:40] Noze
    We were kidnapped.
[17:42] Noze
    Valghia absorbs survivors from
    nations they've destroyed.
[17:45] Noze
    That's how they replenish
    their soldiers and sailors.
[17:47] Chiru
    That applies to everyone, even kids.
[17:49] Boy A
    It's a meritocracy.
[17:52] Boy A
    Former enemy soldiers can move up
    in the ranks as long as they're strong.
[17:55] Boy A
    The best of the kids are
    also chosen to be trained.
[18:01] Noze
    You know, your clothes are seriously weird.
[18:04] Kaina
    Huh? Oh, are they?
[18:07] Ririha
    He's from the Canopy.
[18:10] Noze
    The Canopy? As in the one in the sky?
[18:14] Kaina
    Yup.
[18:15] Yaona
    Sis went to the Canopy to meet the
    sage in order to save everyone.
[18:22] Noze
    Tell me more about this.
[18:26] Soldier D
    Hey, you! Do you know anything?!
[18:27] Citizen 8
    P-Please don't hurt me.
    Th-Those kids probably have them.
[18:30] Soldier E
    Huh?
[18:31] Citizen 8
    You know, the kids.
    They're a band of thieves.
[18:33] Soldier D
    A band of thieves?
[18:35] Soldier E
    Hm?
[18:42] Kaina
    And that's everything I know.
[18:45] Chiru
    Kaina, you really are from the Canopy.
[18:48] Noze
    But the sage is just a fairy tale that
    someone desperate for hope made up.
[18:54] Boy A
    My grandma told stories
     of a giant spire tree,
[18:57] Boy A
    large enough to feed the entire world.
[19:03] Yaona
    A giant spire tree?
[19:04] Boy A
    She said it's many times bigger
    than a regular spire tree.
[19:07] Noze
    Wouldn't that be nice?
[19:19] Kaina
    There is a giant one.
[19:22] All
    Huh?
[19:23] Noze
    Really?
[19:24] Kaina
    We could see that giant
    spire tree from the Canopy.
[19:28] Noze
    There's no way!
[19:29] Noze
    If that tree was real, then Valghia
    wouldn't be waging wars like this!
[19:32] Yaona/Ririha
    What?
[19:33] Yaona/Ririha
    What?
[19:34] Ririha
    What do you mean?
[19:35] Noze
    Valghia ended up this way because orbital
    trees around the sea started drying up!
[19:39] Noze
    Initially, the ship went around saving
    people when orbital trees dried up.
[19:43] Noze
    But the population snowballed,
    and here we are today!
[19:45] Ririha
    Ah...
[19:48] Noze
    If we had enough water for everyone,
    we wouldn't be living like this.
[19:52] Noze
    Is there really such a thing
    as a giant spire tree?
[19:56] Kaina
    Yup.
[19:58] Noze
    Then if that spire tree
    hasn't dried up yet...
[20:02] Kaina
    You could see the lights from the
    luminous shells, so it's not dried up.
[20:09] Chiru
    Hey.
[20:11] Chiru
    Would that water taste really good?
[20:13] Ririha
    Huh? What do you mean?
[20:15] Noze
    The "water" they ration out
    to us is anything but.
[20:20] Boy A
    We live off fluids harvested
    from snow horses and bugs.
[20:39] Soldier E
    Hmm?
[20:40] Soldier E
    Hey, come over here for a sec.
[20:42] Soldier D
    Huh?
[20:44] Boy C
    But it's far away, isn't it?
[20:45] Kaina
    Yeah. It was impossible to
    get there on foot, but...
[20:51] Ririha
    We could get there by ship.
[20:52] Kaina
    Right.
[20:53] Noze
    That's great and all, but nobody's
     gonna believe you without proof.
[20:59] Ririha
    Proof...
[21:04] Soldier E
    It's a hidden passageway.
[21:05] Soldier D
    Screw it, I'm gonna tear it down!
[21:13] Boy B
    Hey, we've got trouble!
    The soldiers are headed this way!
