[00:05] Nir
    Wow!
[00:07] Nir
    I've never seen it from so close before!
[00:10] Sensei
    It's overflowing with vitality.
[00:13] Nir
    Do you have to make that face
    when you look at it, Sensei?
[00:16] Tama
    This is the largest tree
    in all of Zauberberg,
[00:19] Tama
    Grün's famous World Tree!
[00:22] Annette
    No matter how many times I visit,
    it always cleanses the spirit.
[00:25] Tama
    I know, right?
[00:28] Nir
    We're not impressed by you, Tama.
[00:31] Tama
    Wanna say that again, Nir?!
[00:33] Annette
    This World Tree is said to be a holy
    tree that watches over Zauberberg.
[00:37] Annette
    It grants its protection to
    everyone who visits it.
[00:42] Tama
    Hey, let me do the explaining...
[00:44] Annette
    At its foot is the quiet town of Toneriko,
[00:47] Tama
    Hey. Hey. Hey.
[00:48] Annette
    where the people live simple
    lives alongside nature.
[00:52] Annette
    Shall we stop by to pray
    for safe travels, as well?
[00:58] Sensei
    Now, now. Hurry up and drag my coffin.

SIGN    Welcome to Toneriko, the town that loves
    the World Tree and Nature.
[01:18] Nir
    That's the Other Worlders'
    language. What does it say?
[01:23] Degenerate A
    Damn it! I lost all my money!
[01:27] Sensei
    It looks like a gambling hall.
[01:30] Nir
    In a quiet town where people live
    simple lives alongside nature, huh?
[01:37] Thug C
    He freaking stabbed him!
[01:39] Thug D
    That's it! Stab him more!
[01:40] Tama
    There must be some mistake.
[01:42] Sensei
    Water conforms to the shape of the vessel.
[01:45] Sensei
    This must be the reality
    this town has chosen.

[01:55] Sensei
    By the way, are there any trees suitable
    for hanging oneself around here?
[02:01] Nir
    Huh? What's gotten into you?
[02:03] Annette
    For now, let's go talk to the mayor.
[02:08] Nir
    Come on. Let's go, Sensei.
[02:10] Nir
    Don't eat pebbles off the ground.
[02:14] Annette
    Mr. Mayor, what's going on here?
[02:18] Annette
    What happened to the town?
[02:22] Mayor
    As you know,
[02:24] Mayor
    Toneriko was a quiet town that lived
    with the blessings of the World Tree.
[02:30] Mayor
    However, several months ago,
[02:32] Mayor
    some Other Worlders who came to see
    the World Tree began living here.
[02:36] Mayor
    Since they built that gambling hall,
[02:39] Mayor
    it has attracted all kinds of barbarous
    Other Worlders from all over the place,
[02:44] Mayor
    and they've taken our quiet lifestyle from us.
[02:49] Annette
    How deeply sinful.
[02:51] Mayor
    Take a look.
[02:53] Annette
    That's a leaf of the World Tree.
[02:56] Annette
    It seems lifeless.
[02:58] Mayor
    Since then, the World Tree has grown weaker
    every day, and it has begun to wilt.
[03:04] Mayor
    It must be a sign that the spirit of
    the World Tree is saddened by this.
[03:09] Tama
    No...
[03:10] Mayor
    Travelers, we are running out of time.
[03:15] Mayor
    Will you restore our town
    to its original state?
SIGN    Accept the
    mayor's quest?
    
    Yes
    
    No
[03:20] Sensei
    More importantly, will you restore
    this jar to its original form?
SIGN    Yes
    
    No
    
    More importantly,
    will you restore this
    jar to its original
    form?

[03:25] Nir
    Huh?!
[03:26] Tama
    What are you saying, Sensei?
[03:29] Yamada
    I overheard your conversation.
[03:33] Yamada
    If the World Tree is in danger, I will save it.
[03:39] Annette
    Er... Who are you?
[03:41] Yamada
    Pardon me. I am Yamada the Other Worlder.
[03:44] Tama
    Y-You're an Other Worlder?!
[03:47] Yamada
    I understand your distrust for
    Other Worlders, but I am different.
[03:55] Yamada
    I am someone who truly desires
    peace for this world.
[03:58] Yamada
    As a fellow Other Worlder,
    I cannot ignore their wrongdoings.
[04:04] Yamada
    Sir, please allow me to handle this.
[04:10] Mayor
    You mean you'll do it?
[04:11] Tama
    Huh. I never knew some of them were like this.
[04:14] Annette
    That's a marvelous thought.
[04:16] Annette
    Let us assist Mr. Yamada and save
    the town together, Sensei.
[04:22] Annette
    Sensei?
[04:29] Sensei
    My steps are light.
[04:31] Sensei
    My breaths are deep.
[04:33] Sensei
    My back is straight.
[04:36] Sensei
    My mind and body are healthy.
[04:40] Sensei
    I must do something about this quickly.
[04:51] Sensei
    This hole stinks of immorality.
[05:08] Sensei
    What an unhealthy and corrupt place.
[05:13] Sensei
    This is exactly what I was looking for.
[05:15] Sensei
    Friends, would you share
    some of your smoke with me?
[05:20] Sensei
    Please.
[05:26] Esche
    And who is this?
[05:28] Esche
    I don't recognize you.
[05:32] Esche
    Let me take you someplace
    more fun than this.
[05:44] Esche
    Hey, uh... Don't you think you've had too much?
[05:49] Sensei
    I'm trying to drink myself to death.
[05:51] Sensei
    Living makes me so sad I can't bear it.
[05:55] Esche
    What an interesting person.
[05:58] Esche
    But what were you doing in that cave?
[06:02] Esche
    That's where people who are addicted to
    the World Tree's pain-relieving leaves go.
[06:08] Sensei
    I lost something important to me.
[06:11] Sensei
    The thought of my mind and body becoming
    healthy keeps me up at night.
[06:21] Esche
    What's your name?
[06:23] Sensei
    People call me Sensei.
[06:26] Esche
    In that case, Sensei...
[06:29] Esche
    I'll help you sleep comfortably.
[06:35] Esche
    Despite how I seem, I'm a dancer.
[06:38] Esche
    Take my word for it and watch.
[06:42] Sensei
    A dancer...
SIGN    The Dancing Girl of Izu

[06:46] Sensei
    Is watching someone dance so great?
[06:49] Esche
    Just watch.
[07:17] Sensei
    I see.
[07:19] Sensei
    What a pleasant night.
[07:30] Annette
    Sensei...
[07:33] Annette
    Where did you go?
[07:37] Tama
    Calm down.
[07:38] Yamada
    Is something wrong with her?
[07:40] Nir
    Our friend has been missing since yesterday.
[07:44] Annette
    Sensei!
[07:51] Esche
    We're here, Sensei.
[07:53] Annette
    Who are you?!
[07:55] Tama
    Now, now...
[07:57] Mayor
    What do you want, Esche?
[07:59] Mayor
    I thought I told you not to come here.
[08:02] Esche
    I only came to drop this man off.
[08:12] Esche
    See you later, Sensei. Sweet dreams.
[08:16] Mayor
    Another person ruined...
[08:19] Tama
    Who was that?
[08:21] Mayor
    Her name is Esche.
[08:24] Mayor
    They call her the Witch of Toneriko.
[08:27] Nir
    A w-witch?
[08:29] Yamada
    Sounds ominous.
[08:31] Mayor
    Yes.
[08:32] Mayor
    When the fallen Other Worlders began
    building the gambling hall on the edge of town,
[08:38] Mayor
    we were powerless to stop them.
[08:42] Mayor
    But Esche was different.
[08:46] Mayor
    Only she gained the favor
    of the fallen Other Worlders
[08:48] Mayor
    and opened a bar next to the gambling hall.
[08:53] Yamada
    So she's a resident who sided
    with the fallen Other Worlders.
[08:57] Mayor
    She was always a mysterious woman
    who lived on the edge of town.
[09:02] Mayor
    Her age and history are unknown.
[09:05] Mayor
    We left her alone because she was harmless,
    but she's a real trickster.
[09:09] Mayor
    Now she makes a fortune charming fallen
    Other Worlders with her liquor and dancing.
[09:17] Mayor
    At some point, the townsfolk began
    calling her the Traitorous Witch.
[09:23] Yamada
    So she sided with evil to make money.
[09:27] Yamada
    Like the fallen Other Worlders, that witch
    will have to face righteous judgment.
[09:32] Mayor
    Oh, how promising!
[09:35] Mayor
    You are a true hero.
[09:38] Mayor
    Please save our town.

    Wait, Sensei!
[09:53] Annette
    Where are you going?
[09:55] Annette
    The battle against the Other
    Worlders is starting soon.
[09:58] Sensei
    I don't recall accepting such a dangerous job.
[10:03] Sensei
    What I need now is the peace
    granted by that bar.
[10:07] Annette
    Sensei!
[10:08] Yamada
    Don't waste your time.
[10:09] Yamada
    He's already been charmed by the witch.
[10:13] Annette
    But...
[10:14] Yamada
    Don't worry.
[10:16] Yamada
    If we destroy the evil dwelling in this
    town, I'm sure he will come to his senses.
[10:23] Sensei
    Thank you, Esche-kun.
[10:25] Sensei
    Because of you, I forgot about my
    painful life last night and dreamed.
[10:31] Esche
    Oh, Sensei.
[10:34] Esche
    Even so, you shouldn't hang around here.
[10:38] Esche
    Don't you know they call me a witch?
[10:42] Esche
    Don't blame me if I ruin you.
[10:46] Sensei
    That's exactly what I want.
[10:49] Esche
    My word. You're unbelievable.
[10:52] Esche
    Then may the spirit of the World Tree grant
    its protection to your painful life.
[11:02] Sensei
    The spirit of the World Tree?
[11:03] Esche
    Don't you know? That's the legend around here.
[11:07] Esche
    "When the spirit of the World Tree descends,
[11:10] Esche
    the wishes of the weak and sick will
    be granted, and they will be saved."
[11:16] Esche
    Why don't you try praying
    to the World Tree, too?
[11:20] Esche
    It may ease your pain a little.
[11:28] Sensei
    Aren't you the one who wants to be saved?
[11:35] Sensei
    It occurred to me when I saw you last night.
[11:38] Sensei
    Your dancing is beautiful,
    delicate, and above all...
[11:44] Sensei
    filled with sadness.
[11:47] Esche
    I... I'm not...
[11:52] Sabu
    Esche, I need a drink!
[11:54] Sabe
    Bring me something to drink!
[11:56] Esche
    Right away.
[11:58] Esche
    Sensei, take your time.
[12:01] Sabu
    You scumbags.
[12:03] Sabu
    You blew the money you
    owed us at the casino?
[12:08] Kyotaro
    S-Sorry. I promise we'll pay you back.
[12:10] Sabu
    Your promises don't mean shit!
[12:12] Sabu
    If you don't pay us back today,
[12:14] Sabu
    I'll use my overpowered skill Ant Lion
    to bury you in the deserts of Samstag!
[12:19] Sabu
    Now go sell a kidney or something
    and get me that money!
[12:22] Kyotaro
    Y-Yes, sir!
[12:25] Sabu
    For cryin' out loud... Anyway, boss,
[12:28] Sabu
    our profits are way down since there
    are fewer idiots like them around.
[12:34] Sabu
    Should we move the casino elsewhere?
[12:37] Boss
    No, it's too soon for that.
[12:40] Boss
    We'll draw in the people across the bridge.
[12:44] Boss
    We just have to show those carefree
    demis the joy of gambling
[12:49] Boss
    and how good it feels to smoke extra-strong
    leaves from the World Tree.
[12:57] Esche
    My, my, boss. That doesn't sound very nice.
[13:02] Esche
    You promised only Other Worlders
    could play at the casino,
[13:05] Esche
    and that you'd leave the townsfolk alone.
[13:08] Boss
    Sorry, but this is business, Esche.
[13:12] Boss
    Besides, with more customers,
    you'll make more money, too.
[13:16] Esche
    I don't care about that.
[13:18] Esche
    I paid you a ton in protection money so you
    wouldn't touch the people across the bridge.
[13:24] Boss
    Hey, Sabu. Go kidnap a few folks and
    have them smoke some leaf as a test.
[13:29] Sub
    Yes, boss.
[13:30] Esche
    Please!
[13:31] Esche
    Leave the townsfolk alone!
[13:32] Sabu
    Shut up!
[13:39] Esche
    S-Sensei...
[13:41] Sensei
    In the world I come from, we don't
    call women like you witches.
[13:49] Sensei
    You are an angel.
[13:55] Boss
    What was that?
[13:57] Sabu
    What was that sound?
[14:06] Sabu
    Y-You brats! What do you think you're doing?!
[14:10] Yamada
    There you are, evil fallen Other Worlders...
[14:14] Yamada
    and the greedy witch who
    chose to work with them.
[14:18] Yamada
    You've disrupted the quiet lives
    of the innocent townsfolk.
[14:22] Yamada
    Now face your punishment.
[14:24] Sabu
    Who do you think you're
    talking to?! Get him!
[14:28] Sensei
    Good grief.
[14:29] Sabu
    Huh?
[14:30] Sensei
    I was having such pleasant dreams, too.
[14:33] Sensei
    You've ruined it.
[14:34] Sabu
    Eh?
[14:35] Esche
    Sensei?
[14:37] Sensei
    I can't stand people like
    you who shout grand things.
[14:45] Annette
    Sensei...
[14:47] Yamada
    Sorry, but I don't have time for you.
[14:50] Yamada
    Unlike you, a disgrace to the rest of
    us Other Worlders, I'm a busy man.
[14:56] Yamada
    You should come to your senses and
    consider what it is that you should do.
[15:02] Sabu
    Where do you think you're sitting?!
[15:05] Sensei
    Thank you for sharing your
    opinion, Yamada-kun.
[15:08] Sensei
    But I've never once changed my
    ways because someone lectured me.
[15:15] Sensei
    I've also never once respected
    someone for lecturing me.
[15:22] Yamada
    Good grief.
[15:24] Yamada
    Then I shall show you what
    righteous conduct looks like.
[15:29] Boss
    Sabu, shut him up.
[15:32] Sabu
    Yes, boss.
[15:34] Sabu
    Wrap him up and throw him in the river!
[15:37] Henchmen
    Yes, boss!

    Justice Judgment.
[15:43] Yamada
    Be judged!
[15:49] Tama
    Wow.
[15:50] Nir
    He's really strong.
[15:53] Sabu
    B-Boss, this isn't gonna work!
[15:55] Boss
    R-Retreat!
[15:57] Sabu
    You'll pay for this, idiot!
[16:01] Yamada
    Now, will you turn your blade against me, too?
[16:07] Esche
    No. Thank you for saving the town.
[16:10] Yamada
    So you've finally come to your senses.
[16:13] Yamada
    If you've learned your lesson,
    I suggest you mend your ways.
[16:17] Mayor
    Lord Yamada.
[16:19] Yamada
    As promised, I've reclaimed your town.
[16:22] Townsfolk A
    Peace has returned to Toneriko!
[16:24] Townsfolk B
    You are the town's savior!
[16:25] Townsfolk C
    Thank you, hero!
[16:27] Yamada
    Please, that's enough.
[16:31] Townsfolk A
    The witch.
[16:32] Townsfolk B
    It's Esche the Witch.
[16:33] Townsfolk A
    The traitor.
[16:35] Townsfolk E
    Wasn't she working with
    the fallen Other Worlders?
[16:38] Townsfolk D
    How much did she make off of nightlife?
[16:42] Yamada
    Now hold on, good people.
[16:44] Yamada
    She regrets her actions. No further—
[16:48] Townsfolk F
    Drive off the witch!
[16:49] Townsfolk D
    You should be ashamed of yourself, traitor!
[16:51] Townsfolk G
    Leave this town!
[16:55] Yamada
    Good people...
[17:00] Sensei
    Good grief. All worlds are the same.
[17:04] Sensei
    All people are worthless scum.
[17:08] Esche
    S-Sensei...
[17:11] Townsfolk B
    Wh-Who are you?
[17:12] Sensei
    Is that how you treat the one who fought
    all by herself to protect this town?
[17:19] Townsfolk G
    What did you say?!
[17:20] Townsfolk D
    You're siding with the witch?!
[17:23] Sensei
    Every night, she buttered
    up those thugs at her bar
[17:27] Sensei
    and kept them in check so no harm
    would come to you townsfolk.
[17:33] Sensei
    Without her, they would've invaded this
    town long before now and tyrannized you.
[17:41] Sensei
    If this town has a savior, it's Esche-kun.
[17:47] Sensei
    It's you who throw rocks at
    her who should be ashamed.
[17:52] Townsfolk G
    Sh-Shut up! We won't be fooled by your story!
[17:55] Townsfolk E
    They're the lies of a man
    charmed by the witch!
[17:59] Esche
    Sensei...
[18:00] Esche
    It's fine.
[18:02] Sensei
    Esche-kun...
[18:04] Townsfolk A
    Leave!
[18:05] Townsfolk G
    Leave this town!
[18:06] Townsfolk
    You miser!
[18:06] Esche
    Sorry for all the trouble I caused.
[18:08] Townsfolk
    Damn witch!
[18:09] Townsfolk
    Go on, beat it!
[18:15] Townsfolk D
    We did it! The evil witch is gone!
[18:18] Townsfolk F
    True peace has arrived!
[18:19] Townsfolk
    Tonight, we celebrate!
[18:29] Yamada
    Did you know this would happen?
[18:36] Sensei
    The line between righteousness
    and evil is a hazy thing.
[18:41] Sensei
    Yet many wish for a clear distinction and
    never doubt that they themselves are good.
[18:49] Sensei
    When shouted at by such people,
[18:52] Sensei
    the delicate and beautiful true
    love for another is erased.
[18:59] Yamada
    A-Are you saying I was wrong?
[19:02] Sensei
    Who knows? One thing is clear.
[19:08] Sensei
    This town willingly let
    go of its own protector.
[19:14] Annette
    Sensei!
[19:15] Tama
    Don't leave us behind!
[19:18] All
    Sensei!
[19:19] All
    Wait for us!
[19:20] Mayor
    Do you have a moment, Lord Yamada?
[19:23] Mayor
    After seeing your strength,
    I have another request.
[19:28] Mayor
    Those fallen Other Worlders made a fortune
    selling the leaves of the World Tree.
[19:35] Yamada
    They were doing that?
[19:37] Mayor
    So we've decided to continue that
    practice and sell them ourselves.
[19:44] Yamada
    What?
[19:45] Mayor
    The evildoers are gone.
[19:48] Mayor
    The World Tree will be revived and
    grant us even more blessings.
[19:54] Mayor
    So...
[19:57] Mayor
    We'd like you to become
    this town's bodyguard.
[20:01] Mayor
    Should those evil fallen Other Worlders
[20:05] Mayor
    or the nasty witch return to
    interfere with our business,
[20:08] Mayor
    we'd like you to carry out
    justice against them again.
[20:13] Mayor
    As for your payment, how does
    10% of the profits sound?
[20:22] (Flashback) Sensei
    The line between righteousness
    and evil is a hazy thing.
[20:27] Yamada
    What have I done?
[20:36] Tama
    That ending left me with
    a bad taste in my mouth.
[20:39] Annette
    You saw the whole picture, didn't you?
[20:42] Sensei
    I wouldn't say that.
[20:45] Sensei
    Despite what I said to Yamada-kun,
    I'm no different.
[20:49] Sensei
    After all, I failed to save her.
[20:53] Annette
    Sensei...
[21:04] Nir
    H-Hey...
[21:07] Nir
    Look.
[21:23] Townsfolk
    The World Tree!
[21:25] Mayor
