[00:08] Sal
    What... just happened?
[00:15] Meki
    Can it be...
[00:16] Meki
    they sent you?!
[00:20] Meki
    Somenki...
[00:25] Sal
    Are... Are you the one who did this?
[00:29] Somen
    Your request for aid was received.
[00:31] Somen
    A few others were sent ahead of me,
[00:33] Somen
    but all were killed.
[00:36] Somen
    With Sett dead as well,
    it was only natural they sent me.
[00:44] Somen
    I fail to understand why slaughtering
    a single kingdom of humans proved so difficult.
[00:51] Somen
    I let a mere three—no,
[00:55] Somen
    four—humans slip through.
[00:58] Somen
    So you're a human now, too.
[01:00] Meki
    Somenki...
[01:02] Meki
    Damn you!
[01:03] Som
    Can you fire your cannon?
[01:05] Som
    Are your muscles as they once were?
[01:08] Som
    What of your xian dao?
[01:09] Som
    And most importantly,
    where is your horn?
[01:13] Som
    You are a human now.
[01:17] Som
    If you have any pride left,
    you should die with dignity!
[01:20] Som
    I'll carry out the deed myself!
[01:26] Meki
    You're right.
[01:29] Meki
    Kill me if you like—
[01:31] Sal
    Hold it!
[01:32] Sal
    If it's all the same to you,
    why not let us have her?
[01:36] Meki
    Do you realize
    what's going on right now?
[01:39] Meki
    You saw Somenki's cannon.
    You should realize how powerful—
[01:42] Sal
    Hey, no worries.
[01:45] Sal
    We'll be just fine!
SIGN    Species and Belonging
[03:22] Sal
    Well, Frau, what's the plan?
[03:26] Sal
    I'm pretty darn scared right now!
[03:29] Frau
    Sally beat that walrus!
[03:32] Frau
    Sally is strong!
[03:33] Sal
    I told you that
    I don't remember doing that!
[03:36] Somen
    You killed Sett?
[03:38] Sal
    Yes, but I don't remember—
[03:40] Somen
    Interesting!
[03:42] Sume
    Hold it, Somenki!
[03:46] Somen
    Sumeragi?
[03:49] Somen
    Why should I stop?
[03:51] Sum
    Because those are your orders.
[03:53] Frau
    Ogre is talking to someone.
[03:55] Somen
    My orders were to kill everyone
    in this region.
[03:59] Sum
    Indeed they were.
[04:01] Sum
    But that girl is an exception.
[04:03] Sum
    Harming her would have
    irritating consequences.
[04:07] Somen
    What kind of consequences?
[04:09] Sum
    Oh, honestly.
[04:11] Sum
    I'll explain when you're back.
[04:13] Sum
    Just leave them be
    and come back already.
[04:18] Sum
    These are your orders, as well.
[04:23] Somen
    Very well.
[04:39] Sal
    Oh, I was so scared!
[04:43] Frau
    There, there.
[04:46] Sal
    Give me a break already!
[04:49] Sal
    It's just one bit of nonsense after another!
[04:53] Sal
    But...
[04:55] Sal
    It really is all gone, isn't it?
[05:05] Sal
    Hawthorn!
[05:07] Sal
    I forgot! Hawthorn will be in even
     worse shape than we are!
[05:10] ---
    Hawthorn?
[05:12] Sal
    Hey! You hear me?
[05:14] Sal
    Get a hold of yourself!
[05:17] Haw
    Sally...
[05:19] Haw
    What's going on?
[05:21] Haw
    Am I dreaming?
[05:23] Sal
    Hawthorn...
[05:28] Sal
    You've got to get a grip!
[05:30] Sal
    We're out of weapons,
    food, water... everything!
[05:34] Sal
    We have to get moving!
[05:36] Sal
    I know it's a lot to take in.
[05:37] Sal
    I know that you're confused.
[05:39] Sal
    But you have to be strong!
[05:43] Haw
    Y-Yeah... Good point.
[05:46] Haw
    Let's get going to the closest town.
[05:48] Haw
    Um... where was it again?
[05:51] Haw
    Sorry, my head's still a little fuzzy.
[05:55] Meki
    There's a city a half-day's walk to the west.
[06:00] Sal
    How do you know?
[06:01] Meki
    I learned the local terrain
    while preparing our invasion.
[06:07] Meki
    I don't have anywhere to go, either.
[06:11] Meki
    I might as well help you out for now.
[06:14] Meki
    Hey! What are you—
[06:17] Frau
    Good girl!
[06:19] Meki
    Let's just go!
[06:22] Sal
    Okay!
[06:23] Sal
    Hawthorn, can you stand?
[06:24] ---
    Uh, yeah...
[06:34] Haw
    Guess we ought to get an inn.
[06:36] Sal
    If only we had money...
[06:38] Haw
    I've got some pocket change, at least.
[06:41] Meki
    Though I doubt they'll rent a room
    to a demihuman.
[06:44] Haw
    Don't worry. I'll handle it.
[06:48] Man
    You have to be kidding!
[06:50] Man
    We can't let a demihuman stay here!
[06:52] Sal
    You—
[06:54] Haw
    Sir, do you recognize me?
[06:58] Haw
    I'm the regimental commander
    of the Knights of Rimdarl,
[07:01] Haw
    Hawthorn Grattor.
[07:05] Man
    Oh, the commander
    who's always here on patrols!
[07:08] Haw
    So you do remember me!
[07:10] Man
    But...
[07:12] Man
    What are you doing with a demihuman?
[07:14] Man
    Is this some kind of mission?
[07:16] Haw
    Something like that.
[07:18] Haw
    That particular demihuman's harmless.
[07:21] Haw
    I give you my word.
[07:22] Haw
    Won't you let us stay?
[07:28] Sal
    I just don't get it!
[07:30] Sal
    Everyone we meet is such a jerk
    about demihumans!
[07:33] Haw
    It's their upbringing.
[07:35] Haw
    They can't help it.
[07:36] Sal
    "Upbringing"?
[07:38] Haw
    Anyway, here.
[07:42] Haw
    Use this to buy us some food for now.
[07:46] Haw
    And make every coin count!
[07:48] Haw
    Now that I'm unemployed,
    this is all I have in the world.
[07:53] Sal
    Glad to hear it.
[07:55] Sal
    Seems to me
    you're bouncing back a little.
[07:58] Haw
    Well, I got a slap
    from the invincible Sally.
[08:02] Haw
    Who wouldn't be energized?
[08:04] Sal
    I see!
[08:06] Sal
    Well, I'll be back soon!
[08:08] Haw
    Sure thing. Take care!
[08:18] Meki
    What's the matter with you?
[08:21] Haw
    I feel a little pathetic.
[08:23] Haw
    My "brave face" energy just ran out.
[08:26] Meki
    So you were putting on an act
    for that human?
[08:30] Meki
    Perfectly understandable.
[08:33] Meki
    But if you're not careful—
[08:35] Haw
    No, that's not the issue.
[08:38] Haw
    I'm still a knight. I can accept death.
[08:42] Haw
    But...
[08:44] Haw
    The civilians I sought to protect
    by facing death,
[08:47] Haw
    the lord I served, my very home...
[08:50] Haw
    The thought of that all being gone...
[08:55] Frau
    Hawthorn.
[08:57] Frau
    All will work out probably!
[09:00] Frau
    So cheer up!
[09:03] Haw
    Frau...
[09:04] Haw
    "Probably"? What in the world?
[09:09] Haw
    Honestly...
    I'm not sure I'll ever understand you.
[09:14] Haw
    Sorry to let myself slip like that.
[09:17] Haw
    I'll get us some water downstairs.
[09:19] Haw
    I need to cool off.
[09:24] Meki
    "Frau," was it?
[09:26] Meki
    You're awfully close with these humans.
[09:29] Meki
    Are you really a demihuman?
[09:33] Frau
    Frau went on a journey.
[09:35] Frau
    Faced prejudice when alone.
[09:38] Frau
    Stones thrown. Carrots stolen.
[09:42] Frau
    Frau passed out on the road.
[09:46] Frau
    But then Frau met Sally.
[09:49] Frau
    Sally was kind.
[09:52] Frau
    Protected Frau from humans.
[09:55] Frau
    And... smiled at Frau.
[10:00] Meki
    I wonder what allowed her
    to smile at you—
[10:03] Frau
    Because Sally is Sally!
[10:05] Frau
    Child should travel with Sally, too!
[10:10] Meki
    Well, it's not as if
    I have anywhere else to go.
[10:14] Meki
    And why are you calling me "child"?
[10:17] Frau
    Frau doesn't know child's proper name!
[10:19] Meki
    That's just humiliating!
[10:20] Meki
    And humanoid ogres aren't allowed
    to have their own names!
[10:25] Meki
    It's a rule!
[10:27] Frau
    But what to call, without a name?
[10:29] Meki
    If you insist.
[10:32] Meki
    You pick one then, Frau.
[10:35] Frau
    Carrot (ninjin)?
[10:36] Meki
    What?!
[10:37] Frau
    Not good?
[10:38] Meki
    Of course not!
[10:39] Meki
    At least try to be reasonable!
[10:43] Frau
    Carrot (kyarotto)!
[10:46] Meki
    "Carrot"...
[10:47] Meki
    I suppose that's less awful.
[10:55] Sal
    Food for four...
[10:57] Sal
    Not sure I'll have enough.
[11:00] (Flashback) Haw
    Now that I'm unemployed,
    this is all I have in the world.
[11:06] Sal
    Can I justify continuing my journey like this?
[11:10] Sal
    I could call it off and
     take them back to my kingdom.
[11:19] Sal
    Ogres...
[11:20] Sal
    Demihumans...
[11:22] Sal
    I never thought about things
    like species and prejudice before.
[11:26] Sal
    I want to help, but I can't.
[11:29] Sal
    I'm no different from how I was then.
[11:33] Dog
    No, you be reasonable!
[11:35] Dog
    At least buy some proper dog food for once!
[11:38] Miko
    I can't afford to waste money.
[11:42] Dog
    Food for your faithful companion is a waste?!
[11:45] Sal
    Mi—
[11:46] Sal
    Mikoto?
[11:48] Miko
    Sally?
[11:53] Sal
    I'm so excited!
[11:54] Sal
    I finally found him!
[11:56] Miko
    You cut your hair.
[11:59] Sal
    Y-Yeah.
[12:01] Miko
    It suits you.
[12:02] Miko
    I like you better this way.
[12:06] Sal
    Th-Thank you...
[12:08] Sal
    I cut it before I left on my journey.
[12:10] Sal
    Sort of a "declaration of intent."
[12:13] Miko
    You've been through a lot, haven't you?
[12:17] Sal
    Yeah...
[12:21] Sal
    I'd never have met so many people
    or been through so many things
[12:25] Sal
    if I had stayed as a princess.
[12:28] Sal
    And I understand the world
    a little better now.
[12:31] Sal
    But why does "species" matter?
    Why does prejudice exist?
[12:36] Sal
    Humans treat harmless demihumans
    with contempt.
[12:41] Sal
    Ogres are blindly hostile to humans.
[12:44] Sal
    Nobody even seems to question it.
[12:50] Miko
    Here's a hypothetical for you:
[12:55] Miko
    Let's say a demihuman kills a human.
[13:00] Miko
    How do you think
    that human's child would feel?
[13:02] Sal
    Well, they'd be sad at first...
[13:05] Miko
    Then what?
[13:07] Miko
    I'd hate them.
[13:10] Miko
    If I killed the demihuman responsible,
    nobody would question that.
[13:15] Miko
    But do you think I would stop there?
[13:18] Miko
    Certainly not.
[13:21] Miko
    If I were strong enough
    to kill a demihuman,
[13:26] Miko
    I'd kill them all without hesitation.
[13:31] Sal
    M-Mikoto?
[13:34] Miko
    All purely hypothetical, of course.
[13:38] Sal
    Right...
[13:40] Miko
    But prejudice isn't necessarily
    caused by hatred.
[13:43] Miko
    It can be a fear born of ignorance,
[13:45] Miko
    a discomfort—born from an obsession
    with purity—with the different.
[13:48] Miko
    It varies greatly.
[13:49] Sal
    So everyone has their own reasons?
[13:53] Miko
    No... what most people have
    doesn't even qualify as a "reason."
[13:59] Miko
    It's just how they were brought up.
[14:06] Kenn
    Father!
[14:08] Sume
    What is it, Kenness?
[14:09] Kenn
    Look!
[14:11] Kenn
    I baked cookies!
[14:13] Sume
    You're so talented, Kenness!
[14:16] Sume
    Share them with everyone, won't you?
[14:19] Kenn
    Okay!
[14:25] Sum
    Could you kindly not devour
    a man's flock, Somenki?
[14:31] Somen
    And you...
[14:33] Somen
    Still keeping up
    the bizarre wandering-priest act,
[14:38] Somen
    Sumeragi?
[14:41] Sum
    It was a close call, though.
[14:43] Somen
    What was?
[14:45] Sum
    If I hadn't stopped you,
    that princess would have killed you.
[14:51] Somen
    You... Your jokes have grown stale
    since last we met.
[14:55] Somen
    My body, granted to me by my creator,
[14:58] Somen
    would never fall to a mere human!
[15:02] Sum
    A human that could grow
    to the power of a Kishin.
[15:06] Somen
    All the more reason to nip it
    in the bud!
[15:09] Somen
    Who ordered you to stop me?
[15:12] Sum
    The First.
[15:17] Sal
    But it's still not right!
[15:20] Sal
    It's not just demihumans.
[15:21] Sal
    I've seen other species start
    to understand each other.
[15:26] Sal
    The first being I met on my journey
    was a demihuman.
[15:30] Sal
    They're a bit strange,
    but they're also really nice.
[15:37] Miko
    You might be the only person
    in the world who knows that, Sally.
[15:45] Sal
    Things only I know...
[15:47] Sal
    Things only I can do...
[15:50] Sal
    I've decided on a purpose for my journey!
[15:53] Sal
    Mikoto! I really hate prejudice!
[15:57] Sal
    I really hate it!
[16:00] Miko
    So you're going to travel around
    and preach anti-discrimination?
[16:05] Sal
    No. That wouldn't do any good.
[16:08] Sal
    But... I want to create
    at least a little compromise!
[16:12] Sal
    I think I want that
    to be the purpose of my journey!
[16:15] Miko
    It'll be a road covered in thorns.
[16:17] Sal
    That's okay!
[16:19] Sal
    I can handle a little pain!
[16:24] Sal
    A-And... you could join me, if you want.
[16:27] Miko
    Unfortunately...
[16:29] Miko
    I prefer the ease of a solo journey.
[16:32] Sal
    I see.
[16:34] Sal
    But...
[16:35] Sal
    if I keep traveling,
    we might run into each other again, right?
[16:39] Miko
    Indeed.
[16:41] Miko
    Let's both have lots of stories
    to tell when that happens.
[16:49] Miko
    Sally.
[16:51] Miko
    You really have changed.
[17:03] Dog
    The princess is still watching.
[17:06] Dog
    Why not grant her a look back?
[17:08] Miko
    Dog.
[17:10] Miko
    I expected Sally to say,
    "Take me with you," again.
[17:15] Dog
    But she did say that!
[17:18] Miko
    No...
[17:19] Miko
    She offered to let me join her.
[17:22] Miko
    I think if I looked back now,
    I'd end up taking her offer,
[17:26] Miko
    so I'm running away instead.
[17:35] Haw
    Well, what now?
[17:39] Bel
    Captain!
[17:41] Bel
    I knew it!
[17:43] Bel
    Captain Hawthorn!
[17:47] Haw
    You're...
[17:51] Sal
    I'm back!
[17:53] Haw
    Keep it down.
[17:54] Meki
    Agreed.
[17:55] Frau
    Welcome!
[17:58] Sal
    I like Frau best!
[18:00] Sal
    Hey, who's that?
[18:01] Frau
    Hawthorn's...
[18:03] Meki
    Hawthorn's...
[18:03] Haw
    Finish the sentence, darn it!
[18:06] Haw
    Don't jump to conclusions!
[18:09] Haw
    This is Berett.
[18:11] Haw
    He's one of my soldiers.
[18:12] Haw
    I said he, by the way.
[18:15] Sal
    Oh, he's a boy?
[18:18] Sal
    A pleasure to meet you.
    I'm Sally.
[18:20] Sal
    That harefolk is Frau.
[18:23] Sal
    And that's... um...
[18:28] Meki
    P-Please call me "Carrot."
[18:32] Sal
    Carrot?
[18:34] Car
    You needed a name to call me, right?
[18:37] Frau
    Frau named!
[18:39] Sal
    Hey, I like that!
[18:41] Sal
    A pleasure to meet you, Carrot.
[18:46] Sal
    Hawthorn.
[18:47] Sal
    You said that boy was one of your men?
[18:50] Haw
    Yeah.
[18:51] Haw
    He survived the destruction
    of the Kingdom of Rimdarl.
[18:54] Haw
    Could you tell Sally
    what you just told me?
[18:58] Bel
    Yes...
[19:00] Bel
    I was guarding the library as usual, when...
[19:12] (Flashback) Bel
    Wh-Who are you?
[19:14] (Flashback) Bel
    How did you get in?!
[19:25] Bel
    I thought I was the only one left.
[19:28] Bel
    Mom! Dad!
[19:31] Haw
    I'll find someone to take you in.
[19:34] Haw
    Don't worry.
[19:37] Sal
    But who could send him
    to the forest in a flash?
[19:41] Haw
    The Witch of the Western Forest, I'll bet.
[19:46] Sal
    Witch?!
[19:47] Car
    You know this person?
[19:49] Haw
    Yeah, she's a stingy little witch.
[19:53] Sal
    A witch...
[19:55] Sal
    Magic?
[19:57] Sal
    I want to meet this person!
[20:00] ---
    Huh?!
[20:01] Sal
    She saved Berett, right?
[20:03] Sal
    So we'd better thank her!
[20:07] Win
    Drifting down the river... Pale crimson...
     A life of ten thousand years...
[20:12] Win
    Its name... a peach.
[20:21] Car
    What are you doing here?
[20:25] Sum
    Oh, Meki!
[20:27] Sum
    I'm so glad you came.
[20:29] Car
    Come to finish the job Somenki started?
[20:34] Sum
    Perish the thought!
[20:35] Sum
    I came to return you to our side.
[20:40] Sum
    For an ogre who's lost its horn
    to still be called an ogre,
[20:44] Sum
    they must retain a great deal of power.
[20:49] Car
    I could perform a service,
    receive power, and return?
[20:55] Car
    I could be an ogre again?
[20:57] Car
    What do you want me to do?
[21:00] Sum
    Just travel with your little party,
    and report to me what happens.
[21:06] Car
    In other words...
[21:08] Car
    Become your spy?
[21:11] Sum
    Nothing so dramatic.
[21:14] Sum
    Just keep it simple.
[21:16] Sum
    Unless...
