[00:02] Nar
    Once upon a time, monsters ran rampant
    on the western continent.
[00:08] Nar
    In their fear,
    humans built tall castle walls,
[00:12] Nar
    dug deep moats,
[00:14] Nar
    trained their warriors,
[00:16] Nar
    and united.
[00:19] Nar
    But...
[00:21] Nar
    the monsters were great and terrible indeed.
[00:24] Nar
    The humans could make no progress against them.
[00:28] Nar
    Until one day,
[00:30] Nar
    a traveler arrived.
[00:33] Miko
    Comin' in.
[00:43] K1
    I see her! This way!
[00:47] K2
    This again?!
[00:49] K1
    Wait up!
[00:49] Sal
    No!
[00:50] K1
    You must return to the palace!
[00:56] Sal
    I want to see the outside world!
[00:58] Sal
    I want to go on a journey!
[01:00] ---
    Princess's orders: Leave me alone!
[01:04] Mik
    Princess?
[01:05] Sal
    Excuse me! You there!
[01:07] Mik
    You mean me? What can I do?
[01:13] Sal
    Princess's orders: Help me!
[01:16] Mik
    Princess?
[01:17] Sal
    I'm being pursued by terrible villains!
[01:20] Sal
    Hide me!
[01:21] Mik
    Okay...
SIGN    The Princess and the Peach
[02:55] K1
    Hey! Excuse me, miss!
[02:59] Mik
    Me?
[03:00] K1
    Yes...
[03:01] K1
    Eh?
[03:03] K1
    I don't think I've seen you around.
[03:04] K1
    Are you a traveler?
[03:06] Mik
    Yes.
[03:10] K2
    A girl, traveling alone?
[03:14] K1
    It's none of my business, of course,
[03:16] K1
    but there are monsters and creatures
    known as ogres in the outside world.
[03:20] K1
    I hope you'll be careful.
[03:22] Mik
    I see. I appreciate it.
[03:25] K1
    By the way,
    did you see a girl pass this way?
[03:30] Mik
    As a matter of fact,
[03:32] Mik
    I did see a girl run off that way.
[03:35] K1
    Did you?!
[03:36] K2
    Thank you, kind traveler!
[03:42] Mik
    The extremely polite "terrible villains"
    are gone, Princess.
[03:47] Sal
    Hey, that thing they said...
[03:49] Mik
    Yes?
[03:50] Sal
    Are you really a traveler?
[03:53] Mik
    I am indeed.
[03:57] Sal
    What's your name?
[03:59] Mik
    I'm known as Mikoto.
[04:01] Sal
    "Mikoto," huh?
[04:05] Sal
    I'm Saltherine Aldarake.
[04:08] Sal
    I'm the princess of this land,
    the Kingdom of Aldarake!
[04:11] Mik
    The princess?
[04:13] Sal
    Yes!
[04:14] Sal
    And now, as a gesture of thanks...
[04:17] ---
    Princess's orders: Follow me!
[04:23] Baker
    I thought I heard some commotion!
[04:25] Baker
    Your usual game of tag?
[04:27] Wife
    You never learn, do you, Highness?
[04:30] Wife
    You're of marrying age, you know?
[04:33] Wife
    You should really settle down a little.
[04:35] Sal
    Yeah, yeah...
[04:37] Sal
    Two of my usual, please.
[04:38] Baker
    Here you are!
[04:45] Sal
    This shop's walnut bread is the best!
[04:52] Miko
    It does smell nice and fresh!
[05:00] Miko
    Delicious!
[05:03] Sal
    Okay, next stop!
[05:14] Shop
    Your Highness! Everything's fresh today!
[05:19] Mik
    The people really seem to like you.
[05:27] Mik
    In all the countries I've visited,
    I've never seen a princess walking around
[05:31] Mik
    without an escort.
[05:38] Sal
    I wouldn't know anything
    about any other countries.
[05:47] Mik
    What is it?
[05:51] Woman
    Could I take both?
[05:52] Fish
    Of course!
[05:54] Mik
    Octopus?
[06:02] Mik
    Princess? What's wrong?
[06:04] Sal
    Next spot! Hurry!
[06:13] Mik
    Wow!
[06:15] Mik
    First the bread, now all this?
[06:19] Mik
    Thank you so much, Princess.
[06:21] Sal
    Think nothing of it.
[06:23] Sal
    You can pay me back
    by telling me about your journey.
[06:27] Mik
    My journey?
[06:28] Sal
    Yeah. I want to go on a journey.
[06:32] Sal
    I want to leave this boring backwater kingdom
    and see the outside world.
[06:37] Mik
    "Boring"?
[06:39] Sal
    Yes, boring!
[06:41] Sal
    This place is a total nowhere!
[06:42] Sal
    I want to see the outside world!
[06:45] Sal
    I want to go on a journey!
[06:47] Mik
    This country isn't a "nowhere."
[06:49] Mik
    It's a good kingdom.
[06:52] Sal
    A good kingdom?
[06:54] Mik
    It's peaceful, for one thing.
[06:56] Sal
    I suppose.
[06:58] Mik
    You have an abundance of food,
[07:00] Mik
    and the buildings are beautiful.
[07:03] Mik
    And most of all,
[07:05] Mik
    the people are kind.
[07:08] Sal
    I know, but still...
[07:21] Sal
    I still hate it.
[07:25] Sal
    I hate the thought
    of beginning and ending my life here,
[07:29] Sal
    with nothing in between.
[07:33] Sal
    It's getting late.
[07:35] Sal
    Stay in the castle tonight.
[07:38] Sal
    You can tell me about
     your journey tomorrow.
[07:41] Sal
    See you then, Mikoto.
[07:43] Mik
    Sure.
[07:44] Sal
    Good night.
[07:47] Mik
    Good night.
[07:48] Mik
    See you tomorrow.
[08:07] K3
    Good morning.
[08:08] Sal
    Morning!
[08:11] Maid
    Good morning, Your Highness!
[08:13] Sal
    Hey, good morning!
[08:20] Sal
    Mikoto! You awake?
[08:23] Mik
    Princess?
[08:26] Mik
    Good morning!
[08:28] Sal
    Oh, sorry.
[08:29] Sal
    Were you just getting dressed?
[08:34] Sal
    You're pretty darn flat, Mikoto!
[08:37] Mik
    Well, I am a man.
[08:39] Sal
    But you're skinnier than me, too.
[08:42] Sal
    And your complexion is better.
[08:44] Sal
    But all that aside—
[08:48] Sal
    A man?!
[08:50] Mik
    Yes...
[08:51] Sal
    But you're skinnier than me!
[08:53] Sal
    You're prettier than me!
[08:54] Sal
    Explain yourself!
[08:56] Mik
    Princess!
[09:04] Mik
    Are you all right, Princess?
[09:13] Sal
    W-Well...
[09:15] Sal
    All questions of gender aside...
[09:17] Sal
    You are still a traveler, aren't you?
[09:23] Sal
    Tell me about your journey!
[09:26] Sal
    You look way scrawnier than me,
[09:28] Sal
    but you're still traveling solo, right?
[09:31] Sal
    Which means those monsters outside
    can't be such a big deal!
[09:34] Sal
    How about taking me with you?
[09:41] Mik
    My journey is many times more dangerous
    than a normal journey.
[09:45] Mik
    You might die.
[09:47] Mik
    I might have to abandon you.
[09:52] Mik
    Despite all that,
[09:53] Mik
    do you still wish to join me?
[09:57] Sal
    Hey...
[09:59] Sal
    How'd this get all serious?
[10:02] Sal
    "You might die"? It's a little dramatic.
[10:05] Mik
    I'm joking. Never mind.
[10:18] King
    Now, how can I help you?
[10:20] King
    I don't recall inviting you here.
[10:29] Jii
    I've come to take your kingdom!
[10:32] Jii
    But first, I wanted to pay my respects.
[10:36] King
    Those horns...
[10:38] King
    Are you an ogre?!
[10:40] Jii
    How terribly observant of you!
[10:43] Jii
    I've already consumed your nearest neighbor.
[10:45] Jii
    Now it's your turn!
[10:49] King
    So the rumor that the neighboring land
    fell to monsters is true.
[10:55] Jii
    Oh, what a great fool you are.
[10:58] Jii
    After I came here to make an honest trade!
[11:02] King
    A trade?
[11:04] Jii
    Yes.
[11:06] Jii
    In exchange for not slaughtering
    everyone in your kingdom,
[11:09] Jii
    I will accept a sacrifice
    of thirty people per month.
[11:14] Jii
    Is that acceptable?
[11:16] Jii
    Better than full-scale destruction, I'm sure.
[11:18] K1
    Wait, you!
[11:19] K1
    You think you can threaten us and live?!
[11:31] Jii
    That one doesn't count
    toward your total, of course.
[11:34] Jii
    Thirty a month! Don't forget.
[11:46] Jii
    Let's see...
[11:47] Mik
    When we walk side-by-side like this,
    it might look like we're courting.
[11:52] Jii
    What?!
[11:54] Sal
    Oh? I'm sure we just look
    like a princess and her maid.
[11:57] Mik
    M-Maid?
[11:58] Sal
    Or sisters, maybe!
[12:01] Jii
    Wh-What...
[12:03] Jii
    What is he doing here?!
[12:06] Jii
    This is extremely dangerous.
[12:09] Jii
    I'll have to call off the plan.
[12:18] Mik
    Found you...
[12:24] Sal
    Look at all that commotion!
[12:25] Sal
    I wonder what happened.
[12:28] Sal
    Hey, Mikoto, want to go see—
[12:34] Sal
    Mikoto?
[12:36] A1
    We must fight, Majesty!
[12:38] King
    You saw what he's capable of!
[12:40] King
    You think we can beat him ourselves?
[12:42] A2
    But offering sacrifices...
[12:47] Sal
    Hey, what are you all doing here?
[12:50] A1
    Princess...
[12:52] A2
    Your Highness...
[12:54] King
    Saltherine...
[13:05] King
    You're always telling me
    that you want to go on a journey.
[13:10] Sal
    Yes...
[13:20] King
    You have my permission.
[13:21] King
    You may go wherever you wish.
[13:24] Sal
    But why now?
    You've always declined before.
[13:28] K3
    What's that?
[13:30] Sal
    What?
[13:32] K3
    M-Monsters...
[13:33] K4
    And so many of them!
[13:35] Sal
    Father!
[13:36] King
    All hands, to the gates!
[13:38] All
    Sir!
[13:40] King
    We must not let there be a panic!
[13:43] Sal
    Hang on! What's going on here?
[13:45] K3
    Your Highness...
[13:46] Sal
    What's going on?
[13:55] K3
    They're monsters.
[13:56] K3
    Ogres!
[13:58] Sal
    Monsters from the outside world?
[14:02] Sal
    What's happening?
    My body feels... hot...
[14:08] Sal
    I want to see them up close!
[14:10] K3
    Your Highness!
[14:10] Sal
    I want to see them! But...
[14:12] Sal
    What will I do when I get close?
[14:14] Sal
    What will happen?
[14:19] Moki
    Yaki. Thanks for passing on the message.
[14:23] Moki
    So? When can we expect the sacrifices—
[14:26] Moki
    What's wrong?
[14:29] Jii
    I'm calling it off.
[14:31] Jii
    Moki, you should flee at once.
[14:33] Moki
    Eh?
[14:34] Jii
    Do you recall that I mentioned I came here
     because my own country was destroyed?
[14:41] Moki
    Yes.
[14:42] Jii
    The human who destroyed
    my country is here now!
[14:46] Jii
    You can't defeat him. Flee!
[14:48] Moki
    The human in question...
    Would that be him?
[15:04] Moki
    He looks nice and fearless.
[15:06] Moki
    I think I'll enjoy wringing his neck!
[15:08] Jii
    Don't be absurd!
[15:09] Jii
    Run away, now!
[15:10] Moki
    Don't you be absurd!
[15:14] Moki
    I'll never run!
[15:19] Sal
    Mikoto!
[15:26] Miko
    Princess?
[15:28] Miko
    Sorry, I'm too busy to talk right now.
[15:33] Sal
    Stupid!
[15:34] Sal
    You have to run! Right now!
[15:36] Moki
    I am Moki.
[15:40] Miko
    I'm known as Mikoto.
[15:43] Moki
    Is it true that you're behind the destruction
    of a country to the east?
[15:48] Miko
    Yes.
[15:50] Moki
    Interesting!
[16:14] Moki
    Once upon a time, in a far away land,
[16:17] Moki
    lived an old man and an old lady.
[16:24] Moki
    The old man went to the mountains
    to gather firewood.
[16:27] Moki
    The old woman went to the river
    to do the washing.
[16:32] Moki
    You know the story.
[16:34] Moki
    At last, he'd defeated the ogres,
[16:37] Moki
    but upon hearing
    there were ogres in other lands,
[16:40] Moki
    Peach Boy set out to cross the great sea...
[16:45] Moki
    The feats he performed deserve admiration.
[16:49] Moki
    The salvation he wrought
    deserves celebration.
[16:52] Moki
    The only objection to be found...
[17:00] Moki
    was in how much he enjoyed it.
[17:04] Miko
    You're the last one standing.
[17:07] Moki
    Just... Just who are you?
[17:11] Miko
    Kibitsu Mikoto.
[17:16] Miko
    An insignificant traveler who came from afar
[17:19] Miko
    hunting you.
[17:27] Miko
    I've finished them, Princess.
[17:32] Sal
    Mikoto saved our kingdom.
    He's a hero.
[17:36] Sal
    But is a hero slaying villains
    supposed to look this terrifying?
[17:46] Sal
    A dog?
[17:48] Miko
    Did you bring my things?
[17:50] Miko
    I need to wipe off this blood.
[17:54] Miko
    Okay.
[17:55] Miko
    Let's keep going, then.
[18:03] Miko
    Goodbye, Saltherine.
[18:07] Sal
    W-Wait a minute...
[18:08] Sal
    He's leaving now? Already?!
[18:11] Sal
    You have to tell me more...
    about ogres, about you...
[18:15] Sal
    Is this the purpose of your journey?
[18:17] Sal
    A journey...
[18:18] Sal
    Take me with you!
[18:23] Sal
    What in the world...
[18:27] Sal
    The dead ogres...
[18:30] Sal
    They're disgusting.
[18:32] Sal
    Nauseating...
[18:41] Miko
    If you'd managed to follow me regardless,
[18:44] Miko
    I'd have given you a dumpling.
[18:50] Sal
    Wait, Mikoto!
[18:53] Sal
    Wait!
[19:04] Sal
    Just a dream?
[19:07] Sal
    If I'd stopped him, gone with him...
[19:13] Sal
    Then what, I wonder?
[19:21] Sal
    It's been a month since then.
[19:24] Sal
    Day after day of mundane life.
[19:27] Sal
    Everything's been just as usual.
[19:31] Sal
    And eventually, I had a thought...
[19:38] Sal
    About Mikoto.
[19:42] Sal
    And...
[19:46] Sal
    Father.
[19:52] Sal
    I...
[19:53] Sal
    I'm going on a journey!
[19:55] King
    This again?
[19:58] King
    The danger has passed.
[20:00] King
    You should—
[20:01] Sal
    I've made up my mind.
[20:04] Sal
    I'm abandoning my title,
    abandoning my home, and now...
[20:09] Sal
    I'm abandoning the femininity
    that might hinder me from traveling!
[20:16] King
    You've gained so much strength
    in such a short time.
[20:18] King
    What in the world happened?
[20:20] Sal
    After learning the extent of my ignorance,
    I've spent this past month thinking.
[20:26] Sal
    The dangers and monsters
    of the outside world...
[20:29] Sal
    All of that "unknown"...
[20:30] Sal
    If nothing changes, that unknown...
    will eventually consume me.
[20:37] King
    So you're going on a journey?
[20:39] King
    And what will you do on the outside?
[20:42] Sal
    I'll go around, see the world,
[20:45] Sal
    and think about it then.
[20:47] Sal
    You won't stop me?
[20:49] King
    Of course I won't.
[20:52] Sal
    Thanks.
[20:54] Sal
    Goodbye, then.
[20:57] King
    Have a fine time out.
[21:01] King
    And take care.
[21:12] Sal
    See you later!
[21:24] Sal
    Now...
[21:26] Sal
    My journey has begun!
[23:03] Sal
    At least, those were the hopes
    I held as I set out, but...
[23:07] Sal
    It's too darn peaceful out here!
[23:10] Sal
    The ogres are based in the south.
[23:12] Sal
    I'm heading south.
[23:15] Sal
    I heard there were lots of dangerous monsters
    on the outside besides ogres, but...
[23:24] Sal
    It's a total letdown!
[23:28] Sal
    I walk and I walk,
    but it's the same old, same old.
[23:37] Sal
    Huh?
[23:41] Sal
    Or... maybe not.
