**[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.
