[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! SIGN    Kaina of the Great Snow Sea SIGN    Fortress Nation SIGN    Fortress Nation [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!
