[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.
