**[00:14] Sakuna**
So this is rice.
**[00:17] Sakuna**
It's so warm.
**[00:22] Sakuna**
The smell of the earth and
grass feels so comfortable.
**[00:26] Sakuna**
This fertile feeling satisfies the spirit.
**[00:29] Sakuna**
So this is my mother's...
**[00:33] Toyohana**
Sakuna. Sakuna.
**[00:38] Toyohana**
Sakuna.
**[00:38] Kokorowa**
Sakuna. Sakuna. Sakuna.
**[00:44] Sakuna**
Kokorowa?
**[00:46] Sakuna**
Why would you wake someone
who's sleeping so comfortably?
**[00:49] Sakuna**
Tama, water.
**[00:52] Kokorowa**
Tama is out.
**[00:54] Kokorowa**
The Bridge of Heaven just appeared,
and some humans crossed over.
**[01:01] Sakuna**
Humans?
**[01:14] Tauemon**
What is this place?
**[01:15] Kinta**
I can't see anything in this fog.
**[01:18] Voice**
Turn back. Turn back!
**[01:23] Myrthe**
What?
**[01:24] Yui**
What is this voice?
**[01:25] Voice**
Uninvited guests, the Lofty
Realm lies beyond this point.
**[01:31] Voice**
Humans do not belong there.
**[01:35] Voice**
Turn back. Turn back!
**[01:42] Ishimaru**
I finally found you, Katsura.
**[01:47] Tauemon**
Ishimaru.
**[01:49] Tauemon**
Ishimaru, why won't you leave us alone?
**[01:53] Ishimaru**
I doubt you realize it since you left
the group, but we're scraping by.
**[01:58] Ishimaru**
I can't allow those kids or a
traitor like you to walk free.
**[02:05] Tauemon**
Th-Then you leave me with no choice.
**[02:16] Kinta**
What are you being so weak-kneed for?
**[02:20] Ishimaru**
And you call yourself a samurai.
**[02:24] Ishimaru**
No matter. Let's settle this.
**[02:29] Ishimaru**
Who are you?
**[02:30] Sakuna**
Don't mind me. Carry on
with what you were doing.
**[02:34] Sakuna**
You're humans, aren't you?
**[02:36] Sakuna**
Newly arrived, and you're
already trying to kill each other?
**[02:38] Sakuna**
How amusing.
**[02:39] Sakuna**
Go on. Keep going.
**[02:41] Ishimaru**
That's a nice kimono you've got there.
**[02:45] Sakuna**
Even a lowly fellow like you
can recognize its quality?
**[02:50] Sakuna**
This fabric is expensive.
**[02:53] Sakuna**
It's worthy of Princess Sakuna,
the harvest goddess.
**[02:58] Tauemon**
Harvest goddess?
**[03:00] Ishimaru**
I was wondering what you'd
say, but a goddess?
**[03:04] Ishimaru**
You stink of sake for just a little kid.
**[03:08] Sakuna**
What did you say? I am...
**[03:14] Sakuna**
a grown adult!
**[03:21] Sakuna**
His insolence ruined my buzz.
**[03:25] Sakuna**
Humans, beyond this point is the
Lofty Realm, the domain of the gods.
**[03:31] Sakuna**
This bridge will vanish eventually.
**[03:33] Sakuna**
You should turn back before it does.
**[03:36] Tauemon**
The domain of the gods?
**[03:39] Myrthe**
Yanato has two worlds?
**[03:43] Yui**
Look.
***SIGN*** Episode 1:
Princess Sakuna of the Lofty Realm
**[05:29] Tama**
You kicked the human?
**[05:34] Sakuna**
Yes, for his insolence.
**[05:37] Sakuna**
He got what he deserved.
**[05:39] Tama**
How many times have I told you?
**[05:41] Tama**
This is the Lofty Realm, where
the many gods of Yanato reside.
**[05:45] Tama**
You should act more like a
goddess, Your Highness.
**[05:49] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[05:51] Sakuna**
I know! Shut up.
**[05:53] Kokorowa**
Sakuna, you've returned.
**[05:56] Sakuna**
Yeah. Kokorowa, you missed out on the fun.
**[06:00] Sakuna**
There was an insolent human.
**[06:02] Sakuna**
When I kicked him, he went
flying like a grain of rice.
**[06:06] Kokorowa**
Then the Bridge of Heaven really does connect
**[06:10] Kokorowa**
the Lofty Realm to the Lowly
Realm where humans reside.
**[06:15] Kokorowa**
The bridge...
**[06:17] Tama**
The Bridge of Heaven suddenly
appears and suddenly vanishes.
**[06:21] Tama**
Even Lady Kamuhitsuki said
it's difficult to manage.
**[06:27] Voice**
Lady Kamuhitsuki has arrived!
**[06:31] Voice**
Lady Kamuhitsuki has arrived!
**[06:42] Kamuhitsuki**
I am pleased to have my
accession to the throne
**[06:45] Kamuhitsuki**
celebrated again this year with
such a marvelous banquet.
**[06:50] Kamuhitsuki**
This is because of all of
you. You have my thanks.
**[06:55] Sakuna**
Lady Kamuhitsuki is as big as ever.
**[06:59] Tama**
She'll hear you.
**[07:00] Kamuhitsuki**
I shall now announce your
duties for the year.
**[07:10] Sakuna**
I was wondering what this meeting was for.
**[07:14] Sakuna**
I'm sure I'll get it again.
**[07:17] Sakuna**
After all, official duties are assigned
according to our offerings.
**[07:19] Tama**
Your Highness, show some respect.
**[07:21] Kamuhitsuki**
I shall now assign the first of the duties.
**[07:25] Kamuhitsuki**
Princess Sakuna, step forward.
**[07:28] Sakuna**
See?
**[07:37] Sakuna**
You have my deepest gratitude.
**[07:39] Kamuhitsuki**
The flavor of your rice offering
was impressive indeed.
**[07:44] Kamuhitsuki**
I look forward to another
year of service from you.
***SIGN*** Duty
**[07:50] Hyotan**
Princess Sakuna again?
**[07:52] Madam**
It'll be her for a while.
**[07:55] Madam**
She's still got a mountain of rice stored.
**[08:03] Sakuna**
This is exhausting.
**[08:08] Sakuna**
What is this automaton?
**[08:10] Kokorowa**
It's my offering this year.
**[08:13] Kokorowa**
It's perfect for guarding a shrine.
**[08:17] Sakuna**
Impressive.
**[08:20] Sakuna**
It'll be nice if you're assigned
an official duty someday.
**[08:22] Sakuna**
Now let's go.
**[08:24] Sakuna**
Apparently, those who received duties
this year receive new rooms.
**[08:29] Kokorowa**
New rooms?
**[08:31] Sakuna**
They're supposed to be pretty
high up. Let's go check it out.
**[08:38] Sakuna**
Now this is impressive.
**[08:41] Sakuna**
Look! You can see so far into the distance.
**[08:44] Sakuna**
And it's huge.
**[08:46] Sakuna**
You can roll around all you want
and never bump into anything.
**[08:50] Kokorowa**
It's certainly impressive that
they have rooms like this.
**[08:54] Sakuna**
You can come hang out anytime.
**[08:57] Sakuna**
I think I'll drink while
enjoying this scenery.
**[09:01] Sakuna**
Tama, bring me sake.
**[09:03] Tama**
There's something we should discuss first.
**[09:06] Sakuna**
We can talk later. Sake comes first.
**[09:08] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[09:10] Sakuna**
Make it quick.
**[09:13] Tama**
Very well.
**[09:15] Tama**
The rice you have been offering as tribute
**[09:18] Tama**
was grown and harvested through
the efforts of your mother
**[09:23] Tama**
and former harvest goddess Lady Toyohana.
**[09:29] Tama**
It was grown far away on the Isle
of Demons with Lord Takeribi.
**[09:34] Tama**
Have you not been offering
this stored rice every year
**[09:38] Tama**
without doing anything yourself?
**[09:41] Sakuna**
So what if I am?
**[09:43] Sakuna**
My mother and father's rice belongs to me.
**[09:46] Sakuna**
Now that they're missing,
I should do as I see fit.
**[09:50] Tama**
But the other gods know this.
**[09:54] Tama**
Some frown upon the way you receive
an official post every year
**[09:58] Tama**
without breaking a sweat yourself.
**[10:02] Tama**
You should mend your ways and
be more like your mother...
**[10:08] Sakuna**
Are you finished?
**[10:10] Tama**
No, I am *not* finished! In the first place—
**[10:20] Tama**
I'm not a dog!
**[10:23] Sakuna**
What are you, if not a little round dog?
**[10:27] Tama**
I may look like one,
**[10:29] Tama**
but I'm the spirit of the Blade of
Hoshidama that was once your father's.
**[10:33] Tama**
I look like this since only a part of it
**[10:36] Tama**
transformed into a spirit
when the blade was broken.
**[10:41] Sakuna**
What's wrong?
**[10:42] Kokorowa**
It seems to have detected intruders.
**[10:50] Sakuna**
What?!
**[10:53] Tama**
What's going on?
**[10:55] Kokorowa**
Look.
**[11:00] Yui**
What is that?
**[11:03] Kinta**
That huge puppet is moving!
**[11:05] Myrthe**
Oh, how marvelous!
**[11:14] Tauemon**
Run!
**[11:17] Sakuna**
Impressive. I'd expect no less from
Kokorowa, goddess of inventions.
**[11:23] Tama**
More importantly, what are
those humans doing here?
**[11:26] Tama**
I thought you kicked them off the bridge.
**[11:28] Sakuna**
One of them.
**[11:30] Sakuna**
I told them to turn back.
**[11:33] Sakuna**
If Lady Kamuhitsuki finds out I allowed
humans in here, I'll be in big trouble.
**[11:38] Tama**
What are you going to do?
**[11:40] Sakuna**
I'm going to catch them and throw
them into the clouds
**[11:42] Sakuna**
before this becomes a big deal.
**[11:44] Tama**
So violent!
**[11:45] Sakuna**
Oh, shut up.
**[11:49] Sakuna**
This is no time to worry about that.
**[11:54] Kinta**
I'm gonna fall!
**[11:56] Yui**
Kinta!
**[12:03] Sakuna**
Oh no. Damn that automaton.
**[12:06] Sakuna**
It's making the situation worse.
**[12:08] Tama**
Not your Divine Raiment.
**[12:10] Tama**
You caused a disturbance just
the other day with that.
**[12:12] Sakuna**
It's too late for that!
**[12:28] Sakuna**
Where did they go?
**[12:31] Sakuna**
The rice I offered to Lady
Kamuhitsuki is stored that way.
**[12:36] Sakuna**
Hey, you! Wait!
**[12:54] Yui**
I've never eaten white rice before.
**[12:58] Kinta**
There's still so much of it.
**[13:00] Sakuna**
Now you've done it, humans!
***SIGN*** Oil
**[13:15] Kamuhitsuki**
What a fragrant smell.
***SIGN*** Storing
Rice
***SIGN*** In order to feed people for a year, rice
harvested in the fall must be stored in a
way that preserves its quality. Rice was
once stored in well-ventilated raised
storehouses with rat guards, with efforts
made to protect the rice from mold or rats.
Toyohana's storehouse is protected from
damage by divine energy.

**[13:25] Sakuna**
My sincerest apologies!
**[13:27] Kamuhitsuki**
Princess Sakuna, as daughter
of the war god Takeribi,
**[13:33] Kamuhitsuki**
I appointed you to an important post.
**[13:35] Kamuhitsuki**
I can't believe you destroyed both
the offerings and the storehouse.
**[13:39] Sakuna**
No, you've got it all wrong.
**[13:41] Sakuna**
Lady Kamuhitsuki, this all
started because the humans—
**[13:45] Kamuhitsuki**
You're a god! Don't try to
blame the humans for this!
**[13:49] Kamuhitsuki**
Besides, it was your carelessness
that brought them here.
**[13:56] Kamuhitsuki**
Now then, where are the humans?
**[13:58] Tama**
Here.
**[14:01] Kinta**
What? Is that a monster?
**[14:03] Yui**
No. She's a god.
**[14:07] Myrthe**
This is Yanato's god?
**[14:10] Kamuhitsuki**
Indeed. I am Kamuhitsuki,
head goddess of the Lofty Realm.
**[14:15] Kamuhitsuki**
Identify yourselves, humans.
**[14:20] Tauemon**
I am Katsura Uemon-no-jou Takamori.
**[14:24] Tauemon**
People call me Tauemon.
**[14:27] Kinta**
I'm Kinta. Are you an empress?
**[14:30] Yui**
I'm Yui.
**[14:31] Yui**
I don't want to be here.
Please send us back.
**[14:35] Myrthe**
I am Myrthe.
**[14:37] Myrthe**
And this is Kaimaru.
**[14:40] Kamuhitsuki**
Gods and humans must remain
in their separate worlds,
**[14:44] Kamuhitsuki**
the Lofty Realm and the Lowly Realm.
**[14:48] Kamuhitsuki**
However, the Bridge of Heaven you crossed
to get here has already vanished.
**[14:54] Tauemon**
Does that mean we're...
**[14:56] Kamuhitsuki**
Until the bridge reappears, you shall deal
with the aftermath of this disturbance.
**[15:01] Sakuna**
What do you mean?
**[15:04] Kamuhitsuki**
Princess Sakuna, you're aware of
the Isle of Demons, are you not?
**[15:09] Kamuhitsuki**
It's the remote island where your parents
met and defeated the evil god Omizuchi.
**[15:15] Sakuna**
Yes, but it's said that demons still
reside there beyond even your control.
**[15:22] Kamuhitsuki**
You will go to this island and cultivate it
while determining why demons are born there.
**[15:30] Tama**
The Isle of Demons! This is too much.
**[15:34] Sakuna**
But it takes days to get there from here.
**[15:37] Kamuhitsuki**
What? Surely you don't intend to commute.
**[15:41] Kamuhitsuki**
Naturally, you will live on the
island and fulfill your duty.
**[15:45] Sakuna**
Live on the island? What about the capital?
**[15:48] Kamuhitsuki**
You're right. Until you have fulfilled your
duty, you are banished from the capital.
**[15:53] Sakuna**
Banished?!
**[15:57] Kamuhitsuki**
This is an official decree.
**[16:00] Kamuhitsuki**
That is all. You may leave.
**[16:02] Sakuna**
Please wait, Lady Kamuhitsuki!
**[16:05] Sakuna**
This is too much!
**[16:07] Sakuna**
Lady Kamuhitsuki!
**[16:11] Kinta**
She disappeared.
**[16:12] Yui**
So that was a god.
**[16:17] Sakuna**
This... This is all your fault...
**[16:22] Kinta**
What?
**[16:24] Sakuna**
Why didn't you turn back when I told you to?
**[16:26] Sakuna**
Didn't I say that humans didn't belong here?
**[16:31] Tauemon**
We had nowhere to return to.
**[16:34] Tauemon**
Our only choice was to move forward.
**[16:40] Kinta**
Let go of me.
**[16:41] Tama**
Your Highness, this is the audience chamber.
**[16:45] Sakuna**
I know.
**[16:53] Sakuna**
Kokorowa...
**[16:56] Sakuna**
I know. Kokorowa, will you come with me?
**[16:59] Kokorowa**
What?
**[17:00] Sakuna**
Yes, that would be best.
**[17:02] Sakuna**
You're the goddess of invention.
Having you around would be a huge help.
**[17:06] Sakuna**
We're childhood friends, aren't
we? We're best friends, right?
**[17:09] Sakuna**
Please!
**[17:11] Kokorowa**
But...
**[17:13] Sakuna**
Tama, are you okay with this?
**[17:16] Sakuna**
You were so opposed when I said
I was going to the Isle of Demons
**[17:21] Sakuna**
to look for my mother.
**[17:23] Tama**
That's because you were still young.
**[17:27] Sakuna**
If I say left, you say right.
**[17:29] Sakuna**
You're always disagreeing
with everything I say.
**[17:32] Kokorowa**
I feel kind of sorry for Sakuna.
**[17:38] Tama**
But I believe Lady Kamuhitsuki issued
this edict so she'd mend her ways.
**[17:47] Tama**
After defeating Omizuchi, her mother,
Lady Toyohana, supported herself
**[17:52] Tama**
by growing rice and hunting on
that island with her father.
**[18:00] Tama**
Making Her Highness experience the same thing
**[18:03] Tama**
will make her realize she
is the harvest goddess.
**[18:06] Tama**
Perhaps that was her intention.
**[18:10] Kokorowa**
You could be right.
**[18:14] Kokorowa**
Wait here for a while.
**[18:17] Kinta**
It's pretty big. Is this the ocean?
**[18:24] Yui**
It's salty. Tastes just
like our world's sea.
**[18:28] Kokorowa**
The Lofty Realm and Lowly Realm
are two sides of the same coin.
**[18:32] Kokorowa**
They influence one another.
**[18:34] Kokorowa**
When there's more famine
or war in the Lowly World,
**[18:38] Kokorowa**
the harvest is poorer in
the Lofty World as well.
**[18:42] Tauemon**
Then something bad may happen.
**[18:46] Tauemon**
The Lowly World is in a terrible state
right now due to war and famine.
**[18:51] Kokorowa**
I see.
**[18:53] Myrthe**
Is the Lowly World below us?
**[18:57] Yui**
Now that you mention it, I wonder.
**[18:59] Yui**
Is the world of people beyond
the bottom of the sea?
**[19:03] Kokorowa**
They say there are clouds
in the depths.
**[19:07] Kokorowa**
But not even gods can go there,
so there's no way to know.
**[19:14] Myrthe**
Oh, amazing! Yanato is an incredible place.
**[19:17] Tauemon**
The world is a strange place indeed.
**[19:23] Kinta**
So, what's that noisy goddess doing?
**[19:37] Tama**
Your Highness, it's time.
**[19:39] Sakuna**
I know.
**[19:44] Tama**
Leave the sake!
**[19:46] Sakuna**
What? Why?
**[19:47] Tama**
Forgive me, but that is Lady
Kamuhitsuki's decree.
**[19:51] Tama**
You're not to drink for a while.
**[19:54] Sakuna**
But...
**[19:55] Sakuna**
I won't do it.
**[19:56] Tama**
Your Highness.
**[19:58] Sakuna**
I don't want to do this!
**[20:03] Tama**
Your Highness, don't behave
like a spoiled child.
**[20:07] Tama**
You're a god.
**[20:08] Sakuna**
Shut up!
**[20:09] Sakuna**
I heard Lady Kamuhitsuki shut
herself in a chest once, too.
**[20:14] Kokorowa**
Is something the matter?
**[20:15] Tama**
Ah, Lady Kokorowa. As you can
see, Her Highness is...
**[20:21] Kokorowa**
Sakuna.
**[20:22] Sakuna**
Is that you, Kokorowa? Could you ask
Lady Kamuhitsuki to forgive me?
**[20:28] Sakuna**
You're smart. I bet Lady
Kamuhitsuki would listen to you.
**[20:32] Kokorowa**
Sakuna, is that really what you want?
**[20:37] Sakuna**
Huh?
**[20:38] Kokorowa**
Didn't you say you'd become a great
god someday and find your parents?
**[20:47] Kokorowa**
Were you lying when you said that?
**[20:49] Sakuna**
No! But how long do you
think it's been since then?
**[20:54] Sakuna**
My parents went missing
when I was still nursing.
**[20:58] Sakuna**
I've never had a mother or father.
**[21:02] Kokorowa**
You've given up, then.
**[21:04] Kokorowa**
You're not going to the Isle of Demons,
the last known location
**[21:09] Kokorowa**
of your father, Lord Takeribi,
and your mother, Lady Toyohana?
**[21:33] Sakuna**
Kokorowa.
**[21:35] Kokorowa**
Sakuna.
**[21:39] Sakuna**
What's this?
**[21:40] Sakuna**
It's Oboro Zoushi!
***SIGN*** Oboro Zoushi
Koushi Oborozuki
**[21:43] Sakuna**
Hey, wait. What are you doing?
**[21:46] Sakuna**
I'm a goddess!
**[21:47] Sakuna**
Show some respect!
**[21:49] Sakuna**
Hey, let go!
**[21:50] Kokorowa**
Please look after Sakuna.
**[21:52] Tama**
I shall protect her with my life. Farewell.
**[21:58] Kokorowa**
I'll miss her, but...
**[22:09] Sakuna**
I still don't want to go!
**[22:11] Sakuna**
I can't survive outside
the capital. I'll die!
**[22:16] Yui**
She's exaggerating.
**[22:17] Kinta**
She's such a noisy goddess.
**[22:20] Tama**
Your Highness, please stop.
**[22:24] Tauemon**
What a beautiful dawn.
**[22:30] Sakuna**
Beyond the horizon...
**[22:32] Tama**
It's waiting for us.
**[22:34] Tama**
That island you're deeply connected to.

If we don't reach
the shore soon, we'll sink!
**[00:12] Sakuna**
Can't we go back
to the ship we sailed in on?
**[00:15] Tauemon**
It's already returning to the capital!

Hey, don't stand up!
**[00:29] Sakuna**
So that's the Isle of Demons.
**[00:31] Tama**
Yes, where your mother lived
and met your father.
**[00:37] Tauemon**
It's coming!
**[00:41] Sakuna**
I... I...
**[00:44] Sakuna**
I hate this place!
***SIGN*** Episode 2
Living on Hinoe Island
**[02:27] Sakuna**
Was that the best boat you could find?
**[02:31] Kinta**
Quit complaining and give us a hand.
**[02:35] Kinta**
Besides, it's me and
the old man who rowed.
**[02:38] Sakuna**
Oh, shut up. You're merely a human child.
**[02:41] Sakuna**
Tama, what should we do now?
**[02:44] Tama**
Up ahead is Dragon Tunnel.
**[02:50] Tama**
Beyond that is the pass where we'll find
the house Lady Toyohana lived in.
**[02:55] Sakuna**
Got it.
**[02:56] Sakuna**
We'll pass through the tunnel first.
**[03:00] Sakuna**
Go, humans!
**[03:03] Sakuna**
Wait, not you.
**[03:05] Sakuna**
I was talking to you lot.
**[03:07] Yui**
But the island is full of demons.
**[03:11] Kinta**
Yeah.
**[03:12] Kinta**
The gods are supposed to protect us humans.
**[03:15] Sakuna**
What a bunch of whiny and insolent brats.
**[03:19] Sakuna**
Tauemon, was it?
**[03:21] Sakuna**
You're their father. You lead the way.
**[03:24] Tauemon**
Father?
**[03:25] Tauemon**
Not at all. I'm not their father.
**[03:31] Sakuna**
You're not?
**[03:32] Tauemon**
I know Kaimaru, but it's been only
a month since I met the others.
**[03:39] Sakuna**
Well, this is hopeless.
**[03:43] Tauemon**
Not only that, but I'm
not much of a fighter.
**[03:47] Sakuna**
This is no laughing matter!
**[03:48] Tama**
Your Highness.
**[03:55] Sakuna**
It's too heavy!
**[03:56] Sakuna**
Don't we have anything else?
**[04:03] Sakuna**
Is this all we have?
**[04:17] Sakuna**
What's this?
**[04:20] Yui**
It gives me chills.
**[04:22] Tama**
I sense a powerful miasma.
**[04:25] Tama**
I'd expect no less
from the Isle of Demons.
**[04:33] Sakuna**
I'm leaving.
**[04:35] Tama**
Your Highness?
**[04:37] Sakuna**
I'm leaving!
**[04:43] Sakuna**
Could it be?
**[04:48] Tauemon**
I-I am Katsura Uemon-no-jou Takamori.
**[04:49] Myrthe**
So this is a demon.
**[05:01] Sakuna**
Take this!
**[05:06] Sakuna**
Stand back.
**[05:09] Sakuna**
I am your opponent.
**[05:11] Tama**
Be careful.
**[05:12] Sakuna**
Don't worry.
**[05:14] Sakuna**
It may be a demon, but it's only a rabbit.
**[05:15] Sakuna**
I can handle a rabbit.
**[05:17] Tama**
Actually, it's more that demons...
**[05:20] Tama**
are rarely encountered alone!
**[05:30] Sakuna**
Hi-yah!
**[05:34] Sakuna**
Take this!
**[05:40] Mythe**
What?
**[05:41] Tama**
She isn't the daughter of the
war god Lord Takeribi for nothing.
**[05:47] Tama**
If only she'd inherited the
spirit of Lady Toyohana as well.
**[05:52] Sakuna**
Can't you offer me a compliment
without making it backhanded?
**[05:57] Sakuna**
Do you understand now the
difference between humans and gods?
**[06:02] Kinta**
Whatever. We're the
ones who rowed here.
**[06:06] Kinta**
We're just even now.
**[06:08] Sakuna**
You're one twisted little brat.
**[06:11] Tama**
He's surely just upset about
suddenly being sent to this place.
**[06:16] Tama**
He's a child.
**[06:18] Tama**
As a god, you should try
to be lenient with him.
**[06:23] Sakuna**
Let's go.
**[06:26] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[06:30] Sakuna**
There were still demons left?
**[06:32] Ashigumo**
I'm not a demon.
**[06:35] Ashigumo**
Did Kamuhitsuki send you?
**[06:38] Tama**
That's...
**[06:42] Sakuna**
What is this?
**[06:49] Sakuna**
Hey, wait!
**[06:59] Sakuna**
Who are you?
**[07:02] Ashigumo**
Why did you come here?
**[07:04] Sakuna**
Why?
**[07:06] Tama**
There's illusion magic cast on this pass.
**[07:10] Tama**
Only those who already know
it's here can reach it.
**[07:16] Ashigumo**
Are you the spirit of Takeribi's sword?
**[07:19] Tama**
It's been a while, Ashigumo.
**[07:21] Tama**
We come in peace. Put away your weapons.
**[07:25] Sakuna**
You know each other?
**[07:27] Tama**
He's one of the Ashigumo who have
lived on this island since long ago.
**[07:32] Tama**
When the island was in danger,
**[07:33] Tama**
they joined forces with
Lord Takeribi and Lady Toyohana
**[07:36] Tama**
to defeat the evil dragon god Omizuchi.
**[07:41] Sakuna**
My father and mother?
**[07:45] Ashigumo**
Your father...
**[07:45] Sakuna**
What?
**[07:49] Ashigumo**
Now that I get a better look,
you do resemble that idiot.
**[07:55] Myrthe**
Oh, the houses of Yanato are incredible!
**[07:59] Tauemon**
They're a bit damaged but not rotten.
**[08:04] Ashigumo**
Of course not. I've been maintaining them.
**[08:07] Sakuna**
You?
**[08:09] Ashigumo**
I owe your parents that much.
**[08:15] Sakuna**
My parents lived here?
**[08:20] Yui**
There are two rooms inside!
**[08:22] Myrthe**
Oh, a hearth!
**[08:24] Sakuna**
What are you doing
inside my house before me?
**[08:28] Sakuna**
I'm the one who owns it!
**[08:30] Tama**
We appreciate your hard work.
We'll be using these houses.
**[08:35] Ashigumo**
If she is the daughter of Takeribi,
then I cannot refuse.
**[08:39] Tama**
Where are you going?
**[08:41] Ashigumo**
Lately, the demons have been
making a lot of noise.
**[08:44] Ashigumo**
There have been many earthquakes, too.
**[08:46] Ashigumo**
This place may be protected by the charm,
but don't let your guard down.
**[08:56] Sakuna**
Hey, don't open that.
**[08:59] Kinta**
I'm hungry. Don't you have anything?
**[09:02] Sakuna**
I don't know why you're asking me.
**[09:04] Yui**
You just said you own the place.
**[09:15] Sakuna**
Doesn't look like there's anything here.
**[09:19] Sakuna**
What's this?
**[09:21] Tauemon**
Looks like a kokibashi.
**[09:24] Tauemon**
This must be a farming shed.
**[09:28] Tauemon**
Which means the empty plot
outside used to be a field.
**[09:34] Sakuna**
A field...
**[09:37] Sakuna**
Isn't there any rice stored here?
**[09:40] Tama**
Unfortunately, no.
**[09:42] Tama**
There are fruits and nuts nearby.
**[09:44] Tama**
For the time being,
we'll have to hunt for food.
**[09:49] Sakuna**
Hunt?
**[09:53] Sakuna**
Wait!
**[09:54] Sakuna**
Are you telling me to gather food for them?
**[09:58] Tama**
As a god, that is one of your duties.
**[10:00] Sakuna**
That can't be your excuse for everything.
**[10:04] Yui**
If only we could grow
something in the field outside.
**[10:09] Tama**
It's a good idea, but we'll
have to find seeds somewhere.
**[10:13] Tauemon**
I have some unhulled rice right here.
**[10:16] Tama**
What?
**[10:17] Tauemon**
Though I come from a family of warriors,
**[10:20] Tauemon**
my head is always full of thoughts
of farming instead of swords.
**[10:23] Tauemon**
Even after becoming a bandit,
I couldn't let this go.
**[10:29] Tama**
I see. In that case...
**[10:33] Tauemon**
We will grow rice here.
**[10:36] Sakuna**
While I hunt outside for food.
**[10:40] Tama**
Then we'll find the right time to determine
where the demons are coming from.
**[10:47] Sakuna**
I'd be lying if I said
I'm happy with this,
**[10:50] Sakuna**
but for now it's our only choice.
**[10:53] Sakuna**
Starting tomorrow, we'll work on
getting food so we can build up our energy.
**[11:02] Sakuna**
Is this all?
**[11:03] Kinta**
We can't help it.
**[11:05] Kinta**
It's too cold for anything decent to grow.
**[11:08] Yui**
We have acorns, too.
**[11:10] Kinta**
If you don't want yours, give it to me.
**[11:12] Kinta**
It's better than what I've been eating.
**[11:15] Sakuna**
Wait. Sheesh...
**[11:18] Sakuna**
Anyway, if this is an improvement,
**[11:20] Sakuna**
the world of humans must
be in a terrible state.
**[11:24] Tauemon**
With all the wars and famine,
it's in a state of decline.
**[11:27] Tauemon**
The bandits I ran with
were once impoverished as well.
**[11:31] Tauemon**
We swore we wouldn't steal
from women and children, but...
**[11:38] Sakuna**
Sounds like there's quite a story there.
**[11:41] Sakuna**
Why did you come here
with these people in the first place?
**[11:44] Tauemon**
The truth is that Ishimaru,
one of my fellow bandits,
**[11:49] Tauemon**
was trying to sell these captives.
**[11:54] Sakuna**
Ishimaru?
**[11:58] Sakuna**
That man, huh?
**[12:00] Tauemon**
Ishimaru slew our leader for trying to stop
him and tried to go ahead with his plan.
**[12:05] Tauemon**
When I saw what he'd done,
I freed them and took Kaimaru with me.
**[12:11] Tama**
I see.
**[12:13] Tama**
Then Ishimaru pursued you all
the way to the Bridge of Heaven.
**[12:19] Tauemon**
That's right.
**[12:21] Sakuna**
Seriously?
**[12:22] Sakuna**
Then I was right to kick him off the bridge.
**[12:26] Tama**
Ultimately, yes.
**[12:30] Tauemon**
Our slain leader was Kaimaru's father.
**[12:34] Tauemon**
Kaimaru lost the ability to speak
after he saw what happened.
**[12:40] Tauemon**
It makes me wonder if there was
something I could've done to stop it.
**[12:45] Kinta**
It'd be the same either way.
**[12:47] Kinta**
We weren't getting enough to eat.
**[12:49] Kinta**
We would've died either way.
**[12:51] Yui**
Yeah.
**[12:57] Sakuna**
I'm going to sleep.
**[13:00] Tama**
Your Highness.
**[13:05] Sakuna**
I'm a god. No demons will beat me.
**[13:09] Sakuna**
Starting tomorrow,
**[13:10] Sakuna**
I'll bring you enough food
to fill your bellies, so follow me.
**[13:28] Tama**
I'm proud of you, Your Highness.
**[13:33] Sakuna**
Humans are such a pain in the rear.
***SIGN*** Plowing and Irrigating Rice Fields
In order to help the rice take root, the field must have
good air and water flow. The earth is broken apart
along with the rice stubble remaining in the dry field
after harvest in order to plow the field. Then the field
is irrigated by filling it with water to create an even
surface. In addition to hoes and plows, farming
equipment pulled by cattle and horses have made
farming more efficient. When Sakuna is at her best,
she can plow as efficiently as 15 horses.

**[13:54] Tauemon**
Lady Sakuna, good morning.
**[13:57] Sakuna**
You're up early.
**[14:01] Tauemon**
When I heard we'd be
farming, I couldn't wait.
**[14:22] Sakuna**
B-Be careful...
**[14:27] Sakuna**
I'll be back.
**[14:30] Yui**
Bring back some fish if you can.
**[14:33] Sakuna**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[14:34] Sakuna**
Look after the field while I...
**[14:38] Myrthe**
Let us go.
**[14:40] Sakuna**
Wait, wait!
**[14:41] Sakuna**
I told you, there are demons out there.
**[14:44] Sakuna**
You should stay here and help.
**[14:47] Myrthe**
I want to see what is out there.
**[14:49] Sakuna**
Well, you can't! Come on, Tama.
**[14:54] Sakuna**
Honestly.
**[14:55] Sakuna**
Anyway, at this rate,
**[14:58] Sakuna**
we should be able to complete
Lady Kamuhitsuki's mission.
**[15:01] Tama**
Don't let your guard down.
**[15:03] Tama**
There's no telling what else
is on this island.
**[15:06] Sakuna**
Don't worry.
**[15:08] Sakuna**
The demons we've seen so far...
**[15:15] Sakuna**
don't stand a chance against me.
**[15:17] Tama**
Impressive.
**[15:23] Sakuna**
This grass is edible.
**[15:25] Sakuna**
I'll try venturing
a little deeper to gather more.
**[15:49] Sakuna**
What are you looking at?
**[15:52] Sakuna**
Heave ho!
**[16:01] Sakuna**
Good grief.
**[16:02] Sakuna**
Now we won't have to worry
about food for a while.
**[16:08] Sakuna**
Hey, I'm back!
**[16:13] Sakuna**
What's going on?
**[16:15] Tauemon**
Forgive me.
**[16:16] Kinta**
Why didn't you say something?
**[16:19] Kinta**
Are you trying to make us starve?
**[16:22] Myrthe**
Do not be angry.
**[16:25] Myrthe**
In no country is it good to get angry.
**[16:30] Sakuna**
What's wrong? What happened?
**[16:34] Yui**
This man washed away the unhulled rice.
**[16:37] Sakuna**
He did what?
**[16:39] Tauemon**
I'm sorry. I have only a handful left.
**[16:46] Sakuna**
Is this all?
**[16:48] Kinta**
Not only that, but he only knows how
to farm from watching others.
**[16:51] Kinta**
He's never actually done it himself.
**[16:54] Sakuna**
What?
**[16:56] Sakuna**
But you said you were good at farming!
**[16:59] Tauemon**
Forgive me, but the truth is I'm not
a very good warrior or farmer.
**[17:07] Sakuna**
Crying about it won't help.
**[17:12] Sakuna**
Oh, shut up!
**[17:15] Tauemon**
I am ashamed!
**[17:17] Tauemon**
I have no choice but
to slice open my belly now.
**[17:20] Sakuna**
Nobody told you to do that!
**[17:22] Kinta**
Having fewer mouths
to feed might not be so bad.
**[17:26] Kinta**
He eats enough for five people.
**[17:29] Kinta**
He's selfish.
**[17:33] Kinta**
What's wrong? You're
a samurai, aren't you?
**[17:35] Kinta**
Do what you said you would.
**[17:36] Myrthe**
Stop this!
**[17:38] Myrthe**
Why do you hurt him? Tauemon is kind.
**[17:42] Myrthe**
He just made a mistake.
**[17:50] Yui**
Kinta!
**[17:50] Kinta**
Don't follow me!
**[17:54] Sakuna**
Now we're divided.
**[18:00] Myrthe**
What's that?
**[18:01] Sakuna**
The game I caught.
**[18:04] Sakuna**
Being hungry makes you angry.
**[18:07] Sakuna**
Eat this tonight and go to bed.
**[18:10] Myrthe**
Then I shall prepare a Ventanian dish.
**[18:14] Sakuna**
Ventanian?
**[18:16] Myrthe**
Ventania is my homeland. A nation of ports.
**[18:23] Sakuna**
So this is Ventanian cuisine...
**[18:26] Myrthe**
Yanato ingredients and Ventanian cuisine
may not have been a good combination.
**[18:33] Tama**
This is...
**[18:35] Yui**
It just tastes like charcoal.
**[18:37] Myrthe**
I will try harder next time.
**[18:39] Kinta**
You're all just talk.
**[18:45] Sakuna**
Don't say that.
She didn't do it on purpose.
**[18:49] Sakuna**
Myrthe, as there's no one
else we can turn to,
**[18:54] Sakuna**
you're in charge of cooking for now.
**[18:57] Sakuna**
Can you do that?
**[18:58] Myrthe**
Yes.
**[18:59] Myrthe**
Yanato ingredients
and Yanato cuisine are the best.
**[19:03] Myrthe**
I will come up with something.
**[19:05] Sakuna**
We're counting on you.
**[19:12] Sakuna**
I'm worried about the future.
**[19:15] Tama**
You led the humans without getting mad.
**[19:19] Tama**
You're beginning to act like a real god.
**[19:23] Sakuna**
I'm just too exasperated to get mad.
**[19:27] Tama**
So, what will you do now?
**[19:31] Sakuna**
What do you mean?
**[19:33] Tama**
I'm not sure we should leave
Tauemon in charge of this field.
**[19:39] Tama**
I heard he trampled the seedlings
and furrows as well.
**[19:45] Sakuna**
He's worse than useless.
**[19:50] Sakuna**
Wait.
**[19:51] Sakuna**
You're not telling me
to do even more work, are you?
**[19:55] Tama**
There's no other choice.
**[19:57] Sakuna**
Think about it!
**[19:59] Sakuna**
A harvest goddess making
her own rice tribute—
**[20:02] Tama**
Sounds completely reasonable to me.
**[20:06] Tama**
That is what the harvest
gods of our land do.
**[20:10] Tama**
Lady Toyohana and even
Lady Kamuhitsuki plant rice every year.
**[20:17] Sakuna**
But I don't know anything
about planting or growing rice.
**[20:25] Tama**
Don't worry about that.
***SIGN*** Rice Cultivation Compendium
**[20:31] Tama**
I found this earlier.
**[20:34] Tama**
It's a scroll on agriculture
that Lady Toyohana left behind.
**[20:37] Tama**
It contains records of the rice
harvests grown here and how to do it.
**[20:43] Sakuna**
My mother's...
**[20:56] Tama**
Even Tauemon seems to know something,
even if he's otherwise completely useless.
**[21:03] Tama**
He could help—
**[21:03] Sakuna**
I won't do it.
**[21:06] Tama**
Your Highness?
**[21:06] Sakuna**
I won't do it! I refuse!
**[21:09] Sakuna**
On top of completing Lady Kamuhitsuki's
mission, I have to hunt, too!
**[21:15] Sakuna**
I can't do it!
**[21:22] Myrthe**
Was Sakuna angry just now?
**[21:26] Tama**
No, she's not angry.
**[21:43] Sakuna**
Mother...
**[22:05] Tauemon**
Lady Sakuna...
**[22:08] Tama**
This is the daughter of Lady
Toyohana, the harvest goddess.
**[22:15] Sakuna**
What's this?
**[22:17] Tama**
The field has awoken.
**[22:20] Tama**
We're going to begin
growing rice here again.

**[00:03] Tauemon**
First you let the unhulled
rice absorb water, like this.
**[00:07] Sakuna**
And then you sow it in the field, right?
**[00:10] Tauemon**
No.
**[00:11] Tauemon**
If you wait a while, the unhulled
rice will begin to sprout.
**[00:15] Sakuna**
And then you sow it in the field, right?
**[00:17] Tauemon**
No.
**[00:19] Tauemon**
They'd be overwhelmed by weeds,
**[00:22] Tauemon**
so you let them grow in a seed bed first.
**[00:26] Sakuna**
This sounds like a pain in the rear.
**[00:29] Sakuna**
Isn't there any kind of rice that
can be grown and harvested in a flash?
**[00:33] Tauemon**
Unfortunately, no.
**[00:35] Tama**
Your Highness, that's just
how growing rice works.
**[00:39] Tama**
You spend your time
sweating as you face the
**[00:41] Tama**
silent rice plants day after day,
watching them grow.
**[00:46] Sakuna**
Why do you seem so happy?
**[00:49] Tama**
Because you're finally fulfilling
your true duties as a harvest goddess.
**[00:54] Tama**
What could be better than that?
**[00:58] Sakuna**
Well, it doesn't make me happy at all.
**[01:05] Sakuna**
I guess I'll give it a shot.

It's soft. That should be good enough.

Your Highness,
there's still some left over here.
**[02:55] Kinta**
And you haven't touched this area yet.

Shut up!

Don't just stand there. You do it.

We don't have a choice.
That's the only hoe we have.

I've never held a hoe before.
**[03:16] Myrthe**
It is very difficult.
**[03:19] Tauemon**
In that case, I'll do it.
**[03:23] Tama**
Your Highness,
**[03:24] Tama**
this is the time for you to fulfill
your duties as a harvest goddess.
**[03:30] Sakuna**
Fine, fine!
**[03:42] Myrthe**
Did the sprouts grow?
**[03:45] Tauemon**
We should be able to plant them soon.
**[03:48] Tauemon**
Yes, I see.
**[03:51] Tauemon**
Lady Sakuna!
**[03:53] Sakuna**
What is it?
**[03:54] Tauemon**
When you're finished with that,
**[03:56] Tauemon**
I'd like to discuss
making fertilizer with you.
**[04:00] Sakuna**
Fertilizer?
**[04:01] Tama**
In simple terms, it's nutrients
that we can spread in this field.
**[04:05] Tama**
However, that's not all...
**[04:09] Tama**
In order to help plants take root in spring,
**[04:14] Tama**
over the winter,
**[04:15] Tama**
we grow plants such as milk vetch that
will provide the soil with nutrients.
**[04:19] Tauemon**
In spring, we'll mix them into the soil to
increase its fertility, helping the rice grow.
**[04:27] Tama**
When you grow and what you spread impacts
the quality and flavor of the rice.
**[04:34] Sakuna**
I see.
**[04:36] Sakuna**
So, how is it made?
**[04:39] Tama**
Normally you'd use cow or horse manure,
but we don't have any here, so...
**[04:47] Sakuna**
So?
**[04:50] Sakuna**
You can't be serious...
**[04:52] Kinta**
Pee-yoo.
**[04:53] Myrthe**
No, stop! Very bad! You will fall!
**[04:58] Sakuna**
You want me to spread this?
**[05:00] Tauemon**
No, this will just serve as the base.
**[05:04] Tauemon**
We'll move this next
to the field over there,
**[05:07] Tauemon**
add the necessary materials,
and let it rest to make fertilizer.
**[05:11] Kinta**
I found this thing.
**[05:15] Sakuna**
You don't mean...
**[05:16] Tama**
Come, Your Highness.
**[05:18] Tama**
It's time to make your
first batch of fertilizer.
**[05:22] Sakuna**
Wait, no! I'm not doing this!
**[05:25] Sakuna**
I know, you! It's time you did some work!
**[05:29] Kinta**
I'm not doing a stinky job like that.
**[05:31] Kinta**
Besides, I made a living making handicrafts,
so I'm not suited to field work.
**[05:37] Tama**
And Yui and Myrthe are girls.
**[05:41] Tama**
They couldn't do something
as labor intensive as this.
**[05:44] Sakuna**
Hey! I'm a girl, too!
**[05:47] Tama**
But you're a goddess.
**[05:49] Sakuna**
It's always goddess this, goddess that.
**[05:54] Tauemon**
I'll handle it.
**[05:57] Kinta**
You?
**[05:58] Yui**
Can you do it?
**[06:01] Tauemon**
It's just using this bucket
to move that over there.
**[06:05] Tauemon**
I may be clumsy, but I can handle it.
**[06:10] Sakuna**
I suppose you could manage this much.
**[06:14] Tauemon**
Then have yourself some tea
and rest a while.
**[06:25] Myrthe**
It is coarse tea.
**[06:28] Sakuna**
I see.
**[06:31] Sakuna**
It really doesn't taste like anything.
**[06:35] Sakuna**
What are you laughing about?
**[06:37] Myrthe**
I learned a Yanato greeting.
**[06:41] Sakuna**
Coarse tea isn't a greeting, you know.
**[06:43] Yui**
Will he really be all right?
**[06:45] Kinta**
He's massive.
**[06:48] Kinta**
I'm sure he can handle
a bit of physical labor.
**[06:54] Tauemon**
I spilled it all!
**[07:02] Tauemon**
Lady Sakuna! Lady Sakuna!
**[07:04] Sakuna**
Don't come in!
**[07:06] Tauemon**
I stink all over! I don't know what to do!
**[07:08] Sakuna**
To the river! Go to the river
and wash it off!
**[07:12] Tauemon**
But... but I need something
to wipe it with!
**[07:16] Myrthe**
Will someone take this to him?
**[07:23] Sakuna**
In the end, I have to do everything.
**[07:27] Tama**
I'm proud of you.
**[07:29] Kinta**
You're the one who lost
at rock-paper-scissors.
**[07:31] Sakuna**
Oh, shut up!
**[07:33] Yui**
Is there something bothering you?
**[07:37] Kinta**
I told you to stay away from me.
**[07:41] Sakuna**
Honestly...
**[07:43] Sakuna**
Tama, a little more to the right.
My back is killing me.
**[07:48] Tama**
Very well.
**[07:51] Myrthe**
Excuse me, Sakuna...
**[07:57] Sakuna**
Did you mess up again?
**[08:00] Myrthe**
Yanato ingredients are challenging.
**[08:03] Tama**
It seems we've used up the meat we had.
**[08:07] Tama**
Once you're done planting,
you'll have to go hunting again.
**[08:11] Sakuna**
You want me to hunt on top
of everything else I'm doing?
**[08:14] Kinta**
All the adults here are useless.
**[08:18] Kinta**
They can't cook, and they
can't handle manual labor.
**[08:21] Kinta**
They can't do anything.
**[08:24] Sakuna**
Then don't eat!
**[08:25] Kinta**
What?
**[08:26] Sakuna**
You haven't done anything
since you got here.
**[08:30] Sakuna**
You have no right to complain.
**[08:34] Kinta**
I'm just not forcing myself
to do what I can't.
**[08:38] Kinta**
If I did, I'd end up causing
problems like these guys.
**[08:44] Sakuna**
Looks like I'll have to
teach him a lesson.
**[08:51] Tauemon**
My sincerest apologies!
**[08:53] Tauemon**
It's because I'm so useless!
**[08:57] Sakuna**
Stop crying!
**[09:05] Sakuna**
Ouch...
**[09:09] Sakuna**
Kokorowa.
**[09:12] (Flashback) Sakuna**
Kokorowa, I was moved by this chapter
in *Unrequited Love Story*.
**[09:17] (Flashback) Sakuna**
Whoever wrote this must be a genius.
**[09:23] Sakuna**
It sure was fun in the capital.
**[09:35] Ashigumo**
I see.
**[09:37] Tauemon**
I know I'm asking for a lot, but...
**[09:43] Ashigumo**
I'll consider it.
**[09:56] Tauemon**
By adding water, leveling the soil,
**[10:00] Tauemon**
and plowing and irrigating the field,
it is prepared for planting.
**[10:06] Yui**
It's starting to look like a rice field.
**[10:08] Sakuna**
Finally.
**[10:10] Sakuna**
Anyway, it sure is beautiful.
**[10:12] Sakuna**
Of course it is, since I plowed it myself.
**[10:14] Tauemon**
Lady Sakuna.
**[10:18] Tauemon**
These are the young sprouts.
**[10:22] Sakuna**
They've grown so much.
**[10:24] Tama**
Your Highness, you should
plant the first sprout.
**[10:28] Sakuna**
Okay.
**[10:38] Sakuna**
It's so soft.
**[10:40] Sakuna**
I feel a faint warmth, too.
**[10:43] Tama**
That is the rice field.
You are a harvest goddess.
**[10:47] Tama**
You must be attuned
to the power of the soil.
**[10:52] Sakuna**
Should I just stick it in there?
**[10:55] Tauemon**
It says to grasp it in three fingers
like you're holding a brush.
**[11:01] Sakuna**
Like holding a brush.
**[11:03] Sakuna**
Like this?
**[11:04] Tauemon**
Now plant it not too shallow
and not too deep.
**[11:07] Tauemon**
About two knuckles deep into the soil.
**[11:12] Sakuna**
Let's see. Like this?
**[11:17] Sakuna**
It's falling over.
**[11:19] Tauemon**
Sprouts often fall over in soft soil that
has been recently plowed and irrigated.
**[11:24] Tauemon**
Being careful not to make too big
a hole in the ground with your fist...
**[11:28] Sakuna**
This sounds difficult.
**[11:31] Tauemon**
Finally, gently pull your hand
forward so it gets caught in the soil.
**[11:36] Tauemon**
That's what it says.
**[11:37] Sakuna**
Gently pull forward...
**[11:47] Tama**
Your Highness, that is the plant
that will become rice.
**[11:51] Tama**
The crop grown by harvest gods
that is the heart of Yanato.
**[11:57] Sakuna**
This is rice, huh?
**[11:59] Tama**
Rice is special to harvest gods.
**[12:02] Tama**
Eating it will surely
grant you even more power.
**[12:09] Sakuna**
Power...
**[12:10] Tama**
Greater divine power.
**[12:13] Tama**
Your life energy.
**[12:15] Tama**
More power should aid you in battles
against demons and with your mission.
**[12:22] Sakuna**
Really?
**[12:23] Sakuna**
Then we could return to the capital.
**[12:25] Tama**
Eventually.
**[12:26] Sakuna**
Okay, let's do this!
**[12:28] Sakuna**
Once these are grown,
we can fill our bellies with rice!
**[12:33] Tauemon**
Fill our bellies?
**[12:35] Kinta**
This little bit of rice isn't
nearly enough for a glutton like you.
**[12:39] Tauemon**
That's not what I meant.
**[12:43] Tauemon**
Never mind.
***SIGN*** Planting
Rice seeds are planted in the seedling bed and grown
until they are large enough to be transferred to the field.
Because so much manpower is required in the spring,
large numbers of people get together to plant the rice all
at once. Groups such as these that helped one another
were called “yui.” The perennial failure Tauemon had
been secretly practicing so he could help with farming.
**[12:47] Sign**

**[12:55] Sakuna**
Hey! I'm back!
**[13:02] Sakuna**
What are you doing?
**[13:03] Tauemon**
Ah, Lady Sakuna. Welcome back.
**[13:06] Tauemon**
Weeds have started sprouting,
so I thought I'd remove them.
**[13:12] Sakuna**
What are you doing?
**[13:13] Sakuna**
Is the rice all right?
**[13:15] Tauemon**
Yes, barely...
**[13:18] Sakuna**
Honestly.
**[13:20] Sakuna**
You can stop now. I'll do it.
**[13:23] Sakuna**
So, where are these weeds?
**[13:25] Yui**
There and there.
**[13:28] Sakuna**
But it's only been a few days!
**[13:31] Sakuna**
How are there so many?
**[13:33] Tama**
It's because there are so
many nutrients in the soil.
**[13:37] Tama**
All kinds of vegetation grow well in it.
**[13:40] Tama**
It's important to regularly remove them
so the nutrients go to the rice.
**[13:46] Sakuna**
What a pain in the rear.
**[13:50] Sakuna**
Is this it?
**[13:52] Sakuna**
And...
**[13:54] Myrthe**
Sakuna.
**[13:55] Sakuna**
Ah, Myrthe.
**[13:57] Sakuna**
I brought venison.
**[13:59] Sakuna**
We're feasting on venison tonight.
**[14:05] Sakuna**
What's this?
**[14:06] Tauemon**
Tekusari dumplings.
**[14:09] Tauemon**
In my land, we called
them red spider lilies.
**[14:13] Tauemon**
Though they're poisonous,
**[14:14] Tauemon**
you can eat them if you grind up
the roots and add them to water.
**[14:19] Sakuna**
What about the venison?
**[14:21] Myrthe**
I am sorry...
**[14:23] Tauemon**
Kaimaru started crying.
**[14:25] Tauemon**
The venison burned
while she was comforting him.
**[14:29] Sakuna**
So you wasted the venison I brought back?
**[14:33] Sakuna**
And now we're supposed to
eat these poisonous dumplings?
**[14:37] Myrthe**
Poison dumplings...
**[14:39] Yui**
I like these.
**[14:41] Sakuna**
That's not the point!
**[14:43] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[14:48] Sakuna**
Next time you need help, let me know.
**[14:56] Tauemon**
Where are you going?
**[15:02] Sakuna**
It's just until the rice is ready.
**[15:06] Sakuna**
Just standing hurts.
**[15:17] Sakuna**
Beware of spindly growth.
**[15:20] Sakuna**
What's spindly growth?
**[15:23] Sakuna**
What is it?
**[15:25] Tauemon**
Lady Sakuna,
there's something I have to tell you.
**[15:29] Sakuna**
Don't bother apologizing.
**[15:31] Sakuna**
No amount of apologies will fill my stomach.
**[15:33] Sakuna**
More importantly—
**[15:34] Tauemon**
It's actually about that.
**[15:36] Sakuna**
About what?
**[15:38] Tama**
Your Highness,
**[15:39] Tama**
do you think you'll grow enough
rice this year to fill your stomach?
**[15:44] Sakuna**
Are you saying we won't?
**[15:46] Tama**
I knew it.
**[15:48] Sakuna**
What does that mean?
**[15:50] Tauemon**
Even if we grow and
harvest all the plants here,
**[15:55] Tauemon**
we'll only have enough
rice for a few days.
**[15:59] Sakuna**
What?
**[16:00] Tama**
And the quality is still low, too.
**[16:03] Tama**
I doubt this rice has the power
to grant you much strength.
**[16:10] Sakuna**
That's not what you promised!
**[16:12] Sakuna**
Didn't you say I'd get to
fill my belly with rice?
**[16:14] Sakuna**
Didn't you say the rice
would make me strong?
**[16:18] Sakuna**
You lied to me!
**[16:20] Tama**
It will eventually.
**[16:23] Tauemon**
That's what I meant, too.
**[16:28] Sakuna**
How many years will it take?
**[16:30] Sakuna**
How many years until I can fill my
belly with high-quality rice?
**[16:33] Sakuna**
Two? Three?
**[16:36] Tauemon**
Well...
**[16:39] Tama**
It takes many years to gradually
develop and improve rice.
**[16:47] Tama**
It can't be done overnight.
**[16:50] Sakuna**
I'm asking how many years!
**[16:53] Tauemon**
Probably at least ten...
**[16:57] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[16:59] Sakuna**
I've had enough.
**[17:01] Sakuna**
I haven't been lazy!
**[17:03] Sakuna**
I bit back my anger, ran myself ragged,
**[17:05] Sakuna**
and endured an empty
stomach like you told me to!
**[17:09] Sakuna**
And this is what I get for it?
**[17:10] Tama**
No, wait. That wasn't my intention when—
**[17:13] Sakuna**
Silence!
**[17:16] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[17:19] Yui**
What's going on?
**[17:21] Sakuna**
I've had enough!
**[17:23] Sakuna**
Everyone's ganging up on me
to make me suffer!
**[17:27] Sakuna**
Well, I can't take it anymore.
**[17:29] Sakuna**
I'm going back to the capital so
I can sprawl out in my spacious room.
**[17:35] Sakuna**
I don't care about the mission.
**[17:36] Sakuna**
I don't care about anything!
**[17:38] Sakuna**
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care!
**[17:49] Sakuna**
I thought I was going to die...
**[17:52] Sakuna**
I had no idea the rough sea
was so terrifying at night.
**[17:56] Sakuna**
I'd never reach the capital.
**[18:07] Tauemon**
Lady Sakuna! Lady Sakuna!
**[18:13] Tauemon**
There you are.
**[18:20] Kinta**
Here.
**[18:21] Yui**
From me, too.
**[18:26] Sakuna**
What's this?
**[18:27] Sakuna**
They're clean.
**[18:30] Kinta**
I told you, I used to make handicrafts.
**[18:34] Kinta**
That's the best I can do
since I lack materials, though.
**[18:38] Yui**
And I could make all sorts
of things with a loom,
**[18:42] Yui**
but for now, that's all I can do.
**[18:45] Sakuna**
When did you make these?
**[18:49] Myrthe**
I smoked the burnt venison.
**[18:53] Myrthe**
It is a good way to preserve food.
**[18:58] Tama**
And that's not all.
**[19:05] Sakuna**
What's this?
**[19:06] Tauemon**
A rice paddy the Ashigumo once
cleared with Lady Toyohana.
**[19:11] Tauemon**
I spoke with the Ashigumo,
and they said we could use it.
**[19:17] Sakuna**
But what about unhulled rice?
**[19:19] Sakuna**
We only had the ones we planted, right?
**[19:22] Tauemon**
The Ashigumo agreed
to share some of theirs, too.
**[19:28] Tauemon**
If we can harvest this entire field,
it will yield a substantial amount of rice.
**[19:33] Sakuna**
Why didn't you say something sooner?
**[19:37] Tauemon**
I thought I might disappoint
you by ruining everything again.
**[19:44] Tama**
They didn't want to say anything
until they were finished.
**[19:50] Sakuna**
Humans shouldn't be
so considerate of a god.
**[19:59] Sakuna**
Come on. Let's start planting.
**[20:07] Sakuna**
I know what I said, but...
**[20:10] Sakuna**
This field is huge. This is taking forever.
**[20:18] Myrthe**
My back hurts.
**[20:29] Yui**
Quit it, Kaimaru! Go away!
**[20:32] Kinta**
And I keep telling you to stay away from me.
**[20:35] Sakuna**
No more. I still have to hunt, too.
**[20:39] Sakuna**
You handle the rest.
**[20:41] Kinta**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[20:42] Kinta**
Who do you think tilled this field?
**[20:45] Sakuna**
What was that?
**[20:50] Yui**
Quiet! I told you to go away!
**[20:53] Myrthe**
Don't fight. Let's have fun planting.
**[20:59] Myrthe**
Stop that!
**[21:01] Tauemon**
Weak roots and weak hearts.
**[21:13] Tauemon**
Sink your legs into the mud
and bend your back.
**[21:27] Sakuna**
What was that?
**[21:29] Kinta**
A rice planting song.
**[21:31] Tauemon**
That's right.
**[21:32] Tauemon**
It's a long, hard road
to happiness when farming.
**[21:38] Tauemon**
Conversation leads to discontent
and demotivates you.
**[21:42] Tama**
So our predecessors decided to sing instead.
**[21:46] Tama**
Singing distracts you from the pain.
**[21:49] Tauemon**
Thin sprouts and thin bodies.
**[22:00] Kinta**
That's a surprise.
**[22:02] Kinta**
We were born in different places,
but we sing the same song.
**[22:07] Kinta**
The next line is...
**[22:09] Kinta**
With empty stomachs we wish
for golden fields.
**[22:19] Sauna**
I see.
**[22:20] Myrthe**
It's a good song.
**[22:23] Tauemon**
Care to join us, Lady Sakuna?
**[22:28] Sakuna**
Fine. At this point, why not?
**[22:31] Tauemon**
All together now.
**[22:34] All**
Plant the seedlings, let them take root
**[22:45] All**
Weak roots and weak hearts
**[22:57] All**
Sink your legs into the mud
and bend your back
**[23:09] All**
Thin sprouts and thin bodies
**[23:21] All**
With empty stomachs we wish
for golden fields
**[23:33] All**
Plant the seedlings, let them take root
**[23:45] All**
Growing stems and miserable fortunes
**[23:57] All**
Don't lean against the ridges
and stand in the sunlight

**[00:11] Tauemon**
He's a quick one.
**[00:14] Sakuna**
Don't go too crazy.
**[00:16] Sakuna**
We can't have you destroying the field.
**[00:18] Sakuna**
I can't believe we have to deal
with spiders and snails, too.
**[00:21] Tama**
Frogs and spiders eat insects,
and snails keep the water clean.
**[00:26] Tama**
Getting help from nature is
an essential part of growing rice.
**[00:33] Myrthe**
Okay.
**[00:34] Myrthe**
Class is in session.
**[00:37] Myrthe**
You are children.
**[00:39] Myrthe**
No matter where we are,
you must grow up to become decent adults.
**[00:43] Myrthe**
Today I will teach you about God.
**[00:46] Kinta**
I was wondering what you wanted to discuss,
but I wasn't expecting this.
**[00:52] Yui**
I've still got spiders to catch.
**[01:03] Sakuna**
Did you just say you'd
teach them about the gods?
**[01:06] Myrthe**
Sakuna...
**[01:07] Myrthe**
Yes!
**[01:08] Myrthe**
I came to Yanato to spread
the teachings of Formos.
**[01:13] Sakuna**
What did you plan to tell them about me?
**[01:16] Sakuna**
That I'm a beautiful and
merciful harvest goddess, I assume.
**[01:20] Myrthe**
No, Sakuna. You are not God.
**[01:25] Sakuna**
What?!
**[01:26] Kinta**
You're more like a kid.
**[01:29] Sakuna**
I'm not a child! I'm a goddess!
**[01:31] Sakuna**
And a beautiful one at that!
**[01:34] Kinta**
A goddess?
**[01:35] Kinta**
You're a woman?
**[01:39] Sakuna**
Why, you little...! How dare you!
**[01:44] Myrthe**
In the Formos faith,
there is one unseeable God.
**[01:50] Sakuna**
Unseeable?
**[01:52] Sakuna**
What does that make me?
**[01:55] Myrthe**
Oh, I know. You are probably...
**[02:00] Myrthe**
An angel who lives in the Lofty Realm.
***SIGN*** Episode 4
**[03:36] Tama**
Her Highness aside,
**[03:38] Tama**
are you saying Lady Kamuhitsuki
is an archangel and not a goddess?
**[03:43] Myrthe**
Archangels are very grand and important.
**[03:47] Sakuna**
Is that what they believe outside of Yanato?
**[03:51] Myrthe**
It is not just Yanato.
**[03:53] Myrthe**
Ouka and Nadit have their
own gods and beliefs.
**[03:59] Sakuna**
Ouka and Nadit...
**[04:01] Tama**
Those are lands west of Yanato.
**[04:04] Sakuna**
I see.
**[04:06] Sakuna**
Didn't you say you came
from a place called Ventania?
**[04:11] Myrthe**
Yes!
**[04:11] Myrthe**
Ventania is a port nation.
**[04:14] Myrthe**
Our buildings are made of stone.
**[04:16] Kinta**
Your buildings are made of stone?
**[04:19] Yui**
That's a surprise.
**[04:22] Myrthe**
I set out with a priest in order to spread
the teachings of God throughout the world.
**[04:31] Myrthe**
The world is a big place.
**[04:34] Myrthe**
The priest said we must spread God's
teachings throughout the whole world.
**[04:42] Myrthe**
Learning is important.
Teaching is important.
**[04:48] Myrthe**
But the priest passed
away during our journey.
**[04:53] Myrthe**
All the things I have seen,
the vastness of the world,
**[04:57] Myrthe**
and the strangeness of this world.
**[05:00] Myrthe**
I promise I will tell the people
of Ventania about these things.
**[05:04] Tauemon**
So that's why you're
so interested in everything.
**[05:08] Myrthe**
Yes.
**[05:13] Yui**
Kinta...
**[05:17] Sakuna**
He's always acting like that.
**[05:19] Sakuna**
Did you do something to upset Kinta?
**[05:26] Yui**
Don't worry about it.
**[05:33] Sakuna**
What happened to
the frog oil that was there?
**[05:39] Sakuna**
Collecting that wasn't easy.
**[05:43] Myrthe**
Who knows?
**[05:59] Kinta**
It's beautiful.
**[06:08] Kinta**
To strengthen iron, apply heat...
**[06:15] Kinta**
Hot, hot, hot!
**[06:20] Sakuna**
Figures you'd sneak off
with the oil and get up to mischief!
**[06:23] Kinta**
It wasn't mischief!
**[06:25] Sakuna**
Then what were you doing?
**[06:26] Kinta**
None of your business!
**[06:28] Sakuna**
You took something of mine
and that's none of my business?
**[06:31] Sakuna**
You stole my dumplings
the other day, too, didn't you?
**[06:35] Myrthe**
Don't fight, you two. Hold out your arm.
**[06:41] Kinta**
Ow!
**[06:45] Kinta**
It doesn't hurt anymore.
**[06:48] Yui**
Wow.
**[06:49] Myrthe**
Good.
**[06:50] Myrthe**
That was my first time making
medicine using Yanato herbs.
**[06:54] Tauemon**
Medicine? You can create medicines?
**[06:56] Myrthe**
Yes. I studied a lot.
**[06:59] Sakuna**
You're a doctor, too? That's impressive.
**[07:03] Myrthe**
It is important to learn what you do not
know and see what you have not seen.
**[07:12] Myrthe**
I want to see more of the outside world.
**[07:15] Sakuna**
The outside world?
**[07:17] Myrthe**
Yes. For now, we are stuck in this pass.
**[07:21] Myrthe**
But I want to see all kinds of places
farther outside in the Lofty Realm.
**[07:26] Sakuna**
Outside? Don't be ridiculous.
**[07:29] Sakuna**
Take one step outside,
and there are demons everywhere.
**[07:31] Sakuna**
You saw them when we came to the island.
**[07:35] Myrthe**
But...
**[07:36] Tama**
Actually, that may not be impossible.
**[07:40] Sakuna**
Tama...
**[07:41] Tama**
I spoke with the Ashigumo yesterday.
**[07:44] Tama**
Thanks to your efforts,
they've been seeing fewer demons in this area.
**[07:51] Tama**
Perhaps you could visit
the area around the pass...
**[07:54] Myrthe**
Really?
**[07:55] Tauemon**
Maybe we could enter the nearby
woods to forage for mushrooms.
**[07:59] Yui**
Or catch lots of fish in the stream.
**[08:02] Sakuna**
I see.
**[08:03] Sakuna**
Then I wouldn't have to work
so hard to gather food for us.
**[08:07] Tama**
Indeed.
**[08:09] Tama**
Why not let them handle
the food so you can make progress
**[08:13] Tama**
on your mission of determining
where the demons are coming from?
**[08:18] Sakuna**
That's a great idea.
**[08:20] Tauemon**
Then the problem is the rice.
**[08:24] Tauemon**
With the addition of the
field below, it's a large area.
**[08:27] Tauemon**
We don't have nearly enough manpower.
**[08:29] Sakuna**
Manpower, huh?
**[08:32] Sakuna**
If Kokorowa were here, she could
make a puppet or two in a flash.
**[08:38] Tama**
For now, our best bet is...
**[08:42] Ashigumo**
Help you grow rice?
**[08:44] Sakuna**
Naturally, we don't
expect you to do it for free.
**[08:46] Sakuna**
Come harvest time, you'd
be rewarded according to—
**[08:49] Ashigumo**
I don't need food.
**[08:50] Ashigumo**
I already have plenty to eat.
**[08:52] Tama**
That said, you must have friends.
**[08:55] Tama**
It's not a bad deal.
**[08:58] Ashigumo**
I have no friends.
**[08:59] Sakuna**
What?
**[09:00] Ashigumo**
Fearing the demons,
the other Ashigumo left the island.
**[09:06] Ashigumo**
I am the only one who remained.
**[09:09] Sakuna**
I see...
**[09:11] Tama**
Then you've been protecting
this place all by yourself?
**[09:16] Ashigumo**
I don't like to give up.
**[09:18] Ashigumo**
I once fought alongside
Kamuhitsuki to protect the island.
**[09:23] Ashigumo**
I can't let some demons
scare us away now.
**[09:27] Tama**
Perhaps Lady Kamuhitsuki
sent us here knowing that.
**[09:35] Tauemon**
Kappa?
**[09:38] Sakuna**
Yes.
**[09:39] Sakuna**
According to the Ashigumo,
they often show up in the nearby stream.
**[09:44] Sakuna**
We may be able to convince them to help us.
**[09:48] Myrthe**
Kappa! I have never heard of them before.
**[09:51] Myrthe**
Are they beasts?
**[09:52] Sakuna**
Sort of, but not exactly.
**[09:57] Tauemon**
They're yokai that can control water.
**[10:00] Myrthe**
Oh, yokai!
**[10:02] Myrthe**
I would love to see one!
**[10:04] Myrthe**
Kinta, will you be coming?
**[10:08] Kinta**
I'm not interested.
**[10:10] Kinta**
My arm still hurts, anyway.
**[10:13] Sakuna**
Leave him. He brought it upon himself.
**[10:19] Kinta**
You should go with the others.
**[10:22] Yui**
Want me to bring anything back for you?
**[10:24] Yui**
Fish? Meat?
**[10:27] Yui**
There might even be mushrooms.
**[10:29] Kinta**
I don't need anything.
**[10:34] Yui**
Fine.
**[10:38] Kinta**
Iron.
**[10:39] Kinta**
If you find any iron ore lying around,
could you bring it back for me?
**[10:44] Yui**
Sure.
**[10:54] Yui**
I can't see the pass.
**[10:56] Tama**
That's the power of the barrier.
**[10:59] Tama**
The demons can't enter the pass
because they can't see it.
**[11:03] Myrthe**
What is this?
**[11:05] Tauemon**
It's mugwort. The leaves are edible.
**[11:08] Tauemon**
It can be ground up and added
to mochi for a fragrant treat.
**[11:15] Myrthe**
Oh! It smells good.
**[11:17] Sakuna**
You really are interested in everything.
**[11:24] Kinta**
That should do it.
**[11:26] Kinta**
Okay!
**[11:35] Ashigumo**
Who's there?
**[11:37] Kinta**
N-Nobody. I was just looking.
**[11:44] Kinta**
I was wondering how you made
that impressive thing.
**[11:48] Ashigumo**
You mean this?
**[11:49] Kinta**
I'm not interested in wielding a blade,
**[11:51] Kinta**
but since I made
a living making handicrafts,
**[11:55] Kinta**
I'd like to create
something incredible someday.
**[12:00] Ashigumo**
They don't compare to this blade,
but I can create simple knives.
**[12:05] Ashigumo**
Shall I teach you?
**[12:06] Kinta**
Really?
**[12:08] Ashigumo**
But we'll need a forge.
**[12:11] Kinta**
A forge...
**[12:18] Yui**
It's nice and cool.
**[12:20] Tauemon**
I see lots of fish, too.
**[12:23] Sakuna**
Okay, you stay here and gather food.
**[12:27] Sakuna**
There could be demons about. Stick together.
**[12:32] Myrthe**
You always come here alone, Sakuna.
**[12:36] Myrthe**
Are you going to fight demons?
**[12:39] Sakuna**
Of course I am.
**[12:41] Myrthe**
Thank you.
**[12:44] Sakuna**
So you finally understand how great I am?
**[12:47] Sakuna**
You should be grateful.
**[12:49] Tama**
If only you hadn't said
that about yourself.
**[12:53] Sakuna**
Shut up!
**[12:54] Sakuna**
Make sure you tell Kinta that, too.
**[12:56] Yui**
Iron... iron...
**[13:03] Tauemon**
That's...
**[13:05] Sakuna**
A kappa!
**[13:06] Myrthe**
Kappa! It's so cute!
**[13:11] Yui**
It says, “Who are you?”
**[13:14] Sakuna**
You understand it?
**[13:17] Tama**
Kappa are a type of god
that live in the Lofty Realm.
**[13:21] Tama**
As a greater goddess, you must greet them.
**[13:24] Sakuna**
Right.
**[13:26] Sakuna**
I am Princess Sakuna!
**[13:28] Sakuna**
As a harvest goddess, Lady Kamuhitsuki
has sent me on a mission to...
**[13:32] Sakuna**
Ugh, you stink.
**[13:36] Myrthe**
So this is a yokai.
**[13:38] Myrthe**
So cute.
**[13:48] Sakuna**
What's wrong?
**[13:55] Sakuna**
What's going on?
**[14:00] Sakuna**
What are they saying?
**[14:02] Yui**
“Enemies! Outsiders!”
**[14:04] Sakuna**
Enemies? No, wait! We're...
**[14:09] Yui**
Ow!
**[14:11] Tauemon**
Yui!
**[14:13] Tama**
Your Highness, we should
retreat for the time being.
**[14:24] Kinta**
Are you okay?
**[14:26] Yui**
Sorry I couldn't bring back any iron.
**[14:30] Kinta**
It wasn't that important.
**[14:32] Kinta**
Why'd you have to do that?
**[14:35] Yui**
Sorry.
**[14:37] Myrthe**
I am sorry.
**[14:39] Sakuna**
You have nothing to apologize for.
**[14:41] Tama**
So, the kappa threw rocks at you
because they didn't like her?
**[14:47] Yui**
It was her blue eyes.
They said she would eat them.
**[14:51] Sakuna**
They must've had a bad experience
with visitors before.
**[14:56] Myrthe**
I have had rocks thrown at me before.
**[15:02] Myrthe**
The more you try to get to know someone,
the more they dislike you.
**[15:05] Myrthe**
That is especially true in Yanato.
**[15:09] Myrthe**
Perhaps learning about Yanato
is not good after all.
***SIGN*** Maintaining and Fertilizing Soil
Good soil is required to grow good rice. Good soil is soft
and nutrient-rich soil, allowing plants to take root.
Farmers create good soil by mixing fertilizer into dirt
and tilling it year after year. In the past, excrement,
fish meal, and dead leaves were combined and
fermented to create fertilizer and keep the soil in good
condition. As a harvest goddess, Sakuna can determine
the level of nutrients in soil just by looking at it.
**[15:17] Sign**
m 0 0 l 310 0 310 150 0 150
**[15:26] Sakuna**
Don't let it get you down.
**[15:28] Sakuna**
I'm just going to go hear them
out so they don't get excited.
**[15:32] Myrthe**
Okay.
**[15:35] Myrthe**
You are going out?
**[15:37] Kinta**
I'm not going with you guys.
**[15:41] Yui**
Kinta...
**[15:43] Sakuna**
He's such a little brat.
**[15:46] Tauemon**
He's not very honest,
but I believe he wants to help us.
**[15:51] Tama**
In that regard, perhaps you're alike.
**[15:55] Sakuna**
Alike? Who is?
**[15:58] Tama**
You can't be serious.
**[15:59] Sakuna**
Hey, wait!
**[16:06] Kinta**
There's nothing around here.
**[16:10] Sakuna**
What are you doing?
**[16:11] Kinta**
Nothing.
**[16:14] Sakuna**
What?
**[16:23] Myrthe**
Does it hurt?
**[16:25] Yui**
No. Thank you.
**[16:28] Myrthe**
No, I am sorry.
**[16:31] Yui**
Don't worry about it.
**[16:34] Myrthe**
Yui...
**[16:35] Yui**
I don't really get it,
**[16:37] Yui**
but I think it's amazing that
you're trying to achieve something.
**[16:41] Myrthe**
Is it?
**[16:44] Yui**
I'm sure Kinta agrees.
**[16:51] Myrthe**
Kaimaru!
**[16:55] Myrthe**
What is this?
**[17:00] Yui**
It's scared.
**[17:03] Myrthe**
It is all right. I will not hurt you.
**[17:10] Myrthe**
I understand.
**[17:16] Myrthe**
Kaimaru...
**[17:26] Myrthe**
The priest said not to give up on trying
**[17:31] Myrthe**
to understand people and
communicate with them, so...
**[17:43] Kinta**
Is this the place?
**[17:45] Tauemon**
Yes.
**[17:46] Sakuna**
Hey, kappa!
**[17:47] Sakuna**
I am Princess Sakuna! I was here yesterday!
**[17:50] Sakuna**
I came to talk today!
**[17:54] Tauemon**
They don't seem to have heard you.
**[17:56] Kinta**
Maybe they got scared of you and ran.
**[17:59] Sakuna**
Then what am I supposed to do?
**[18:07] Yui**
I said to wait until
the others returned, but...
**[18:13] Sakuna**
Where did they go?
**[18:15] Yui**
The kappa said to follow the dog.
**[18:21] Kinta**
It's the dog.
**[18:22] Sakuna**
Oh, good. It came back.
**[18:27] Sakuna**
That's Myrthe's!
**[18:39] Sakuna**
Myrthe!
**[18:43] Sakuna**
I can't see a thing.
**[18:44] Sakuna**
Tama.
**[18:45] Tama**
Understood.
**[18:58] Sakuna**
This'll work.
**[18:59] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[19:04] Sakuna**
What? A demon?
**[19:16] Myrthe**
Sakuna!
**[19:18] Sakuna**
Myrthe!
**[19:18] Myrthe**
The kappa were running from demons.
**[19:22] Myrthe**
The demons eat kappa.
**[19:24] Myrthe**
Bad demons!
**[19:26] Tama**
Your Highness, hurry!
**[19:30] Sakuna**
I know!
**[19:33] Sakuna**
Gotcha!
**[19:55] Myrthe**
It is all right.
**[20:00] Sakuna**
Myrthe!
**[20:05] Sakuna**
Myrthe!
**[20:15] Sakuna**
What's going on?
**[20:17] Myrthe**
Poison!
**[20:19] Myrthe**
I scattered poison to protect myself.
**[20:24] Tama**
Your Highness, this is our chance!
**[20:49] Sakuna**
Blue eyes?
**[20:50] Yui**
They thought she was an enemy because her
**[20:54] Yui**
eyes are the same color
as that demon catfish's.
**[20:57] Tauemon**
And now that that's been cleared up...
**[21:01] Myrthe**
Let us head to the field below.
**[21:04] Tama**
They will be a huge help with rice farming.
**[21:17] Kinta**
Do I really have to talk to her?
**[21:21] Yui**
Kinta...
**[21:24] Yui**
You do.
**[21:32] Kinta**
God...
**[21:33] Sakuna**
What?
**[21:34] Kinta**
God—no, Buddha—no, Goddess!
**[21:38] Sakuna**
Wh-What is it? Are you plotting something?
**[21:42] Kinta**
No. I have a request.
**[21:47] Kinta**
While fixing your hoe, I realized...
**[21:49] Kinta**
I want to try forging blades.
**[21:52] Kinta**
I want to try making scythes
and swords with these hands.
**[22:02] Myrthe**
*Far to the east is the land of Yanato.*
**[22:05] Myrthe**
* They believe that there have been*
* two worlds since ancient times,*
**[22:09] Myrthe**
*the land of gods and the land of humans.*
**[22:14] Myrthe**
* I plan to live in this strange land known*
* as the Lofty Realm a while longer*
**[22:21] Myrthe**
*so I can better understand Yanato.*
**[22:28] Myrthe**
The sweet smell of the earth.

**[00:05] Kinta**
This is the forge?
**[00:08] Myrthe**
Marvelous!
**[00:10] Sakuna**
You should be grateful.
**[00:12] Sakuna**
I didn't expect it to be this difficult.
**[00:15] Sakuna**
I had to ask the Ashigumo for help, too.
**[00:19] Sakuna**
Hey.
**[00:20] Sakuna**
At least say thank you!
**[00:24] Kinta**
I'm busy right now. Can't it wait?
**[00:28] Sakuna**
You brat...
**[00:29] Yui**
Kinta, I brought you some water.
**[00:32] Kinta**
Leave it there.
**[00:34] Kinta**
Also, you're both in the way.
**[00:36] Kinta**
Could you get out?
**[00:38] Sakuna**
What? Why, you...!
**[00:40] Yui**
Okay.
**[00:41] Sakuna**
What?
**[00:44] Sakuna**
Hey, wait...

Kinta Repays His Debt
**[02:20] Sakuna**
You don't have to take that, you know.
**[02:23] Yui**
It's fine.
**[02:24] Yui**
I'm just doing what I want to do.
**[02:26] Sakuna**
Yeah, but...
**[02:29] Yui**
I'm glad he found
something he wanted to do.
**[02:33] Tama**
I hear Kinta and Yui have been traveling
together since before they met Tauemon.
**[02:39] Tama**
I'm sure there's a story there.
**[02:41] Sakuna**
But still...
**[02:44] Sakuna**
What's this?
**[02:46] Sakuna**
Hey, big guy! We need water!
**[02:48] Sakuna**
There's no water!
**[02:49] Tauemon**
Ah, it's about time.
**[02:53] Sakuna**
What are you lazing around for?
**[02:55] Tauemon**
It's the midseason draining
described in the scroll.
**[02:59] Tauemon**
I drained the water on purpose.
**[03:01] Sakuna**
On purpose?
**[03:03] Tauemon**
Draining the water prevents offshoots so
the roots of the rice plants stay healthy.
**[03:10] Tauemon**
Myrthe!
**[03:11] Myrthe**
Understood.
**[03:16] Sakuna**
Growing rice sure is a pain in the butt.
**[03:20] Tama**
Growing good rice takes that much effort.
**[03:30] Sakuna**
What's this?
**[03:32] Tauemon**
They're the ducks Kaimaru brought here.
**[03:35] Sakuna**
Oh?
**[03:38] Tauemon**
The ducks are for the rice.
**[03:40] Tauemon**
They churn the dirt and eat
the weeds and bugs around the rice.
**[03:45] Sakuna**
Bugs and weeds?
**[03:47] Tauemon**
Summer brings lots of bugs
and weeds with it.
**[03:52] Tauemon**
A person couldn't possibly keep up
with removing all the pests.
**[03:55] Sakuna**
So that's why we use ducks.
**[04:00] Sakuna**
When did we get a cat?
**[04:03] Tauemon**
Oh, no!
**[04:03] Tauemon**
We must keep it away from the ducks!
**[04:11] Tama**
What a ruckus.
**[04:14] Tama**
We should split up and gather them back up.
**[04:15] Sakuna**
We can't do this ourselves!
**[04:17] Sakuna**
What are the others doing?
**[04:20] Myrthe**
Kinta is over there.
**[04:22] Sakuna**
Again?
**[04:24] Sakuna**
Kaimaru, hold onto that cat.
**[04:29] Sakuna**
Hey, Kin—
**[04:30] Sakuna**
It's so hot!
**[04:32] Sakuna**
I'm amazed you can stay
cooped up in this heat.
**[04:37] Sakuna**
Hey, are you listening?
**[04:39] Sakuna**
Kinta! Hey, Kinta!
**[04:42] Kinta**
Huh?
**[04:43] Kinta**
Oh, it's you.
**[04:45] Sakuna**
What does that mean?
**[04:47] Sakuna**
Listen, you can't stay cooped up
in the forge now that we have one.
**[04:52] Sakuna**
The rice—
**[04:53] Kinta**
Later. I'm in the middle
of something important.
**[04:59] Sakuna**
What?
**[05:00] Sakuna**
Oh, you actually drank it.
**[05:02] Kinta**
What?
**[05:03] Sakuna**
Why are you so mean to Yui?
**[05:06] Sakuna**
She does it because she cares about you.
**[05:09] Kinta**
No reason. It's none of your business.
**[05:14] Sakuna**
Don't you like Yui?
**[05:17] Sakuna**
You've been together since you
were in the Lowly Realm, right?
**[05:21] Sakuna**
In that case...
**[05:23] Kinta**
Get out.
**[05:27] Sakuna**
I don't understand.
**[05:28] Tama**
Yui has always been that way.
**[05:32] Sakuna**
But why doesn't she complain
despite how he treats her?
**[05:39] Tama**
What is it?
**[05:41] Sakuna**
Could it be?
**[05:44] Yui**
You think I'm in love with Kinta?
**[05:48] Sakuna**
The redness of your cheeks proves it!
**[05:51] Yui**
B-But...
**[05:53] Sakuna**
That makes things simple.
**[05:56] Sakuna**
It tells us exactly what to do right here.
**[05:56] [SONG] Sign**
Unrequited Love Story
**[06:00] Yui**
“Unrequited Love Story”?
**[06:02] Sakuna**
It's Koushi Oborozuki's masterpiece.
**[06:05] Sakuna**
It describes a boy
and girl in love in great detail.
**[06:09] Sakuna**
According to this...
**[06:12] Sakuna**
Yui, do you have any skills?
**[06:15] Yui**
Skills?
**[06:17] Sakuna**
Yeah. First, you should become
an attractive girl by honing a skill.
**[06:22] Sakuna**
Then boys will naturally
become interested in you.
**[06:25] Yui**
W-Wait a minute.
**[06:27] Yui**
I'm don't want Kinta
to be interested in me.
**[06:31] Sakuna**
Do you want things
to remain as they are now?
**[06:34] Yui**
Well...
**[06:35] Sakuna**
Think of everything you do for him.
**[06:38] Sakuna**
Don't you want to be friends?
**[06:40] Yui**
Well, yes, but...
**[06:43] Sakuna**
Right?
**[06:44] Sakuna**
Now, tell me. What skills do you have?
**[06:49] Yui**
I'm not really good at anything,
but if I had to choose...
**[06:54] Yui**
Oh, thank you!
**[06:57] Yui**
I wasn't expecting you to
actually build me a weaving hut.
**[07:02] Sakuna**
You're the one who said they
wanted a hut, not just a loom.
**[07:06] Yui**
I really wanted my own room to weave.
**[07:10] Sakuna**
But why?
**[07:12] Yui**
There are many reasons, but...
**[07:15] Yui**
In any case, while I'm weaving,
**[07:17] Yui**
please say something first before you enter.
**[07:21] Kinta**
What is this?
**[07:23] Yui**
Kinta...
**[07:24] Sakuna**
Let me see...
**[07:27] Sakuna**
Smile! Don't forget to smile.
**[07:30] Yui**
Th-The goddess made me a weaving hut.
**[07:34] Kinta**
Why'd you build it so close?
**[07:38] Yui**
I'm sorry.
**[07:43] Sakuna**
Quickly, stop him!
**[07:45] Yui**
K-Kinta!
**[07:46] Kinta**
What?
**[07:50] Sakuna**
Is there anything you want
Yui to weave for you?
**[07:57] Kinta**
Not really.
**[08:00] Sakuna**
You'll never get anywhere
unless you lean into it.
**[08:03] Sakuna**
This book says love is war.
**[08:06] Sakuna**
Go on, ask him.
**[08:09] Yui**
But...
**[08:12] Sakuna**
Oh, fine.
**[08:14] Sakuna**
Hey, Kinta.
**[08:16] Kinta**
What do you want?
**[08:18] Sakuna**
Well, you know...
**[08:20] Sakuna**
I thought you might
need help with something.
**[08:23] Kinta**
Not really.
**[08:25] Sakuna**
Don't say that.
**[08:26] Sakuna**
There must be something.
**[08:28] Sakuna**
Like something you don't have
enough of, or something you want.
**[08:31] Kinta**
In that case, obsidian.
**[08:34] Sakuna**
Obsidian?
**[08:35] Kinta**
Yeah.
**[08:36] Kinta**
You might have to go pretty deep
into the mountains to find it.
**[08:39] Sakuna**
Oh, that's not what I meant.
**[08:43] Sakuna**
What is that?
**[08:45] Kinta**
Can't you tell? You can have it.
**[08:48] Sakuna**
Are you sure?
**[08:50] Kinta**
Yeah.
**[08:51] Kinta**
The only thing I'm
interested in is making those.
**[08:54] Kinta**
Let me know how it feels to use it later.
**[08:58] Sakuna**
This is amazing.
**[08:59] Sakuna**
This will allow me to
fight even bigger demons.
**[09:07] Sakuna**
Now that's good.
**[09:10] Yui**
How did it go?
**[09:12] Sakuna**
How'd it go?
**[09:15] Sakuna**
Well, uh... about that...
**[09:18] Sakuna**
I know! A towel!
**[09:21] Yui**
A towel?
**[09:22] Sakuna**
Blacksmithing is sweaty work.
**[09:24] Sakuna**
He probably wants a towel
to wipe away his sweat.
**[09:27] Yui**
Really?
**[09:28] Sakuna**
Yeah.
**[09:31] Yui**
I'll go make one.
**[09:35] Yui**
And no peeking.
**[09:39] Sakuna**
That should do it.

“True feelings cannot
be found in words.
**[09:44] Sakuna**
It is not words that form the
connection between two hearts."
**[09:49] Sakuna**
I don't get it.
**[09:51] Tama**
*Unrequited Love Story* again?
**[09:54] Sakuna**
Say something before you enter!
**[09:57] Tama**
You're studying that
rather enthusiastically.
**[09:59] Sakuna**
Of course I am.
**[10:01] Sakuna**
Koushi Oborozuki is a genius.
**[10:03] Sakuna**
Their works are worth
reading again and again.
**[10:07] Tama**
Is Yui still weaving at this hour?
**[10:11] Sakuna**
Probably.
**[10:19] Kinta**
Aw, man. It's morning already?
**[10:28] Kinta**
Yui, are you in there?
**[10:29] Yui**
Don't! I'll be right there!
Don't come in!
**[10:32] Kinta**
What? Are you changing?
**[10:37] Yui**
G-Good morning.
**[10:39] Kinta**
You're up early.
**[10:44] Kinta**
What's this?
**[10:46] Sakuna**
Yui didn't come back all night.
**[10:48] Kinta**
What do you think you're doing?
**[10:51] Kinta**
I said I didn't need anything!
**[10:53] Kinta**
Why'd you stay up all night making this?
**[10:57] Yui**
I just...
**[11:00] Kinta**
Don't do it again!
**[11:13] Sakuna**
I'm sorry. It was my idea.
**[11:17] Yui**
Goddess...
**[11:19] Sakuna**
But even if he didn't need it,
he shouldn't have said that!
**[11:24] Yui**
Don't!
**[11:26] Sakuna**
Yui...
**[11:27] Yui**
It's not your fault or Kinta's.
**[11:30] Yui**
I'm the one who chose to do this.
**[11:35] Myrthe**
Here.
**[11:36] Myrthe**
Eat this. It will cheer you up.
**[11:46] Sakuna**
What should I do?
**[11:50] Yui**
Don't worry about it.
**[11:52] Sakuna**
Yui...
**[11:54] Yui**
I don't think these feelings
of mine are love after all.
**[11:58] Sakuna**
Then what are they?
**[12:01] Yui**
I'm not sure.
**[12:03] Yui**
I just want to stay
with him and repay my debt.
**[12:07] Myrthe**
Repay your debt?
**[12:10] Sakuna**
What do you mean?
**[12:14] Yui**
Kinta saved my life before,
**[12:18] Yui**
even though he knew it meant he
couldn't stay at the temple anymore.
**[12:23] Sakuna**
The temple? Kinta used to live at a temple?
**[12:27] Yui**
So I want to repay that debt.
**[12:31] Yui**
But Kinta thinks I'm a creep
and a nuisance.
**[12:35] Sakuna**
No matter how you look at it,
he's in the wrong.
**[12:38] Sakuna**
I won't stand for this.
**[12:39] Yui**
No, wait! Kinta...
**[12:43] Yui**
Kinta doesn't remember saving me.

***SIGN*** Water Management
Fields are filled with water drawn from rivers or lakes.
The amount of water is adjusted according to the rice's
growth. Immediately after planting, the field is filled with
water to increase the number of stalks. Once the plants
have grown, the field is drained of water so the roots can
grow strong. Rice plants need the most water when they
bloom, so plenty of water is added then. During harvest
season, the water is drained completely to make it easier
to harvest the rice. Because it is too difficult for Sakuna
to precisely manage the water level while also hunting,
when she goes out the others take turns managing
the water level.
**[13:05] Sakuna**
He doesn't remember the person he saved?
**[13:08] Sakuna**
What does that mean?
**[13:12] Sakuna**
What is it?
**[13:13] Tauemon**
There are a lot of bugs.
**[13:16] Sakuna**
What?
**[13:17] Tauemon**
We could sow something to keep them
away and see how it goes, but...
**[13:22] Sakuna**
What?
**[13:23] Tauemon**
It may only ease our minds,
**[13:26] Tauemon**
but we could perform a Mushiokuri ceremony.
**[13:29] Sakuna**
Mushiokuri?
**[13:30] Tama**
It's a type of ceremony
performed in the Lowly Realm.
**[13:34] Tama**
They burn fires at night to
keep insects away from the fields.
**[13:38] Myrthe**
Oh, I'd like to see a Yanato ceremony.
**[13:44] Kinta**
Wh-What?
**[13:46] Sakuna**
What?!
**[13:54] Sakuna**
What happened? What was that crane?
**[13:57] Kinta**
How should I know?
**[13:59] Kinta**
When I entered the hut and looked inside,
it suddenly popped out.
**[14:02] Sakuna**
You mean you looked inside
without saying anything?
**[14:05] Sakuna**
Where is Yui?
**[14:06] Kinta**
I dunno.
**[14:09] All**
Yui! Yui!
**[14:14] Tama**
She isn't at the field below, either.
**[14:17] Tama**
Perhaps she ran away.
**[14:18] Kinta**
Why would Yui run away?
**[14:21] Sakuna**
It's your fault.
**[14:23] Kinta**
What?
**[14:25] Sakuna**
Why do you always treat her like that?
**[14:28] Sakuna**
She spent all night making
that for you, but you...
**[14:33] Kinta**
Is that why?
**[14:35] Sakuna**
Answer me!
**[14:36] Sakuna**
Depending on your answer,
I may show you no mercy.
**[14:39] Kinta**
She creeped me out.
**[14:42] Kinta**
She suddenly showed up and started following
me around, saying she wanted to help me.
**[14:46] Sakuna**
What?
**[14:47] Kinta**
Right?
**[14:49] Kinta**
She made up some story
about me saving her life.
**[14:52] Kinta**
At first, I thought she was
trying to trick me.
**[14:55] Kinta**
That I'd be sold off somewhere.
**[14:59] Kinta**
But that never happened,
and she didn't seem to be lying.
**[15:04] Kinta**
She stuck with me,
saying she wanted to help me.
**[15:09] Kinta**
So I told her she wouldn't
find happiness with me.
**[15:15] Kinta**
I'm poor. I can't do anything.
**[15:18] Kinta**
Being with me would only make her unhappy.
**[15:22] Kinta**
I told her to stay away from me.
**[15:23] Kinta**
That she was bothering me.
**[15:25] Kinta**
That I hated her.
**[15:28] Kinta**
If she stayed away from me,
**[15:30] Kinta**
any wealthy family would take her in with
her pretty pale skin and make her happy.
**[15:39] Kinta**
But she kept following me and following me.
**[15:44] Tama**
Your Highness...
**[15:46] Sakuna**
Let's go.
**[15:48] Tama**
Go where?
**[15:50] Sakuna**
That crane is our only clue.
**[15:52] Sakuna**
We have to go after it.
**[16:02] Sakuna**
There!
**[16:06] Kinta**
Why am I doing this?
**[16:08] Sakuna**
Don't complain.
**[16:10] Sakuna**
You're the one who caused this.
**[16:15] Kinta**
You're sure it went this way?
**[16:18] Sakuna**
No.
**[16:20] Sakuna**
But when I stopped by this valley before,
there was a beautiful spring.
**[16:25] Sakuna**
The crane is probably there,
**[16:27] Sakuna**
but we'll have to defeat
some demons to reach it.
**[16:35] Kinta**
Is that a shellfish?
**[16:37] Sakuna**
It's a clam.
**[16:38] Sakuna**
Don't worry.
**[16:39] Sakuna**
This thing you made is
better than I expected!
**[16:53] Sakuna**
Thunderbolt!
**[17:06] Sakuna**
This is it.
**[17:07] Tama**
Your Highness, look.
**[17:10] Sakuna**
The crane...
**[17:12] Kinta**
Could it be?
**[17:15] Sakuna**
What is it?
**[17:17] Kinta**
That's the crane I freed a long time ago.
**[17:19] Sakuna**
Freed?
**[17:23] Kinta**
Some young monks at the temple
once caught a crane in a trap.
**[17:29] (Flashback) Kinta**
That crane...
**[17:33] Kinta**
It was so white,
**[17:35] Kinta**
it looked like it was glowing
in the woods at night.
**[17:38] (Flashback) Monk**
Hey, looks like we caught something.
**[17:41] (Flashback) Monk**
Let's go check it out.
**[17:48] Sakuna**
So that's why you had to leave the temple.
**[17:52] Kinta**
How do you know that?
**[17:55] Sakuna**
I see. So that's how it is.
**[17:58] Sakuna**
Yui.
**[17:59] Kinta**
Yui? What are you talking about?
**[18:01] Kinta**
That's a crane.
**[18:03] Visitor**
She cannot speak anymore.
**[18:06] Visitor**
Because she broke her contract of secrecy,
she reverted to her original form.
**[18:13] Sakuna**
Who are you?
**[18:14] Tama**
I don't sense any divine energy.
**[18:16] Tama**
They're not a god.
**[18:18] Kinta**
What is it? I didn't hear anything.
**[18:21] Kinta**
Who are you talking to?
**[18:26] Visitor**
We travel between worlds
connected by the Tree of Creation
**[18:30] Visitor**
to save our world from
the brink of destruction.
**[18:35] Visitor**
We are the Visitors.
**[18:38] Sakuna**
The Divine Raiment...
**[18:39] Tama**
Could they have given it to Lady Toyohana?
**[18:43] Visitor**
That crane's fervent wish
transformed it into a human.
**[18:48] Visitor**
We granted her the power to weave
threads and bring people together.
**[18:54] Visitor**
The power of connection.
**[18:57] Sakuna**
Is there no way to turn
Yui back into a human?
**[19:00] Visitor**
In order to reclaim the name Yui,
**[19:02] Visitor**
she must reclaim the power of connection.
**[19:06] Visitor**
If that can be proven...
**[19:09] Sakuna**
Connection...
**[19:11] Sakuna**
Hey, Kinta. What do you think of Yui?
**[19:14] Kinta**
Wh-Where did that come from?
**[19:16] Sakuna**
Hurry up!
**[19:18] Sakuna**
Don't you care what happens to Yui?
**[19:20] Kinta**
B-But I don't know what to say...
**[19:22] Sakuna**
Hurry!
**[19:24] Sakuna**
Say how you feel about Yui!
**[19:27] Kinta**
Okay, okay.
**[19:29] Kinta**
Let's see...
**[19:33] Kinta**
Being followed around by Yui
used to exhaust me, but...
**[19:46] Kinta**
But I feel like I've changed
since meeting Yui.
**[19:56] Kinta**
Hearing her speak with my accent
made me feel comfortable around her.
**[20:01] Kinta**
For the first time in my life,
I was grateful to be alive.
**[20:09] Tama**
Nothing's happening.
**[20:12] Sakuna**
Why not? Didn't that count?
**[20:18] Sakuna**
True feelings...
**[20:21] Sakuna**
Kinta, do you have anything on you?
**[20:23] Kinta**
Like what?
**[20:25] Sakuna**
Something that shows how you feel about Yui.
**[20:27] Kinta**
I don't have...
**[20:32] Sakuna**
What's that?
**[20:34] Kinta**
I made this comb for Yui.
**[20:37] Kinta**
It's not much, but since Yui
was pale like the crane,
**[20:41] Kinta**
I thought it would suit her.
**[20:47] Visitor**
It seems you have a powerful connection.
**[20:50] Visitor**
You have proven its strength.
**[20:59] Yui**
Goddess... Kinta...
**[21:02] Sakuna**
Yui!
**[21:06] Kinta**
Yui!
**[21:09] Yui**
Kinta...
**[21:11] Kinta**
Are you sure about this?
**[21:14] Yui**
Yes.
**[21:31] Sakuna**
Oh, wonderful.
**[21:33] Sakuna**
It's love. This is love.
**[21:36] Tama**
How precious.
**[21:41] All**
Begone, bugs! Begone, bugs!
**[21:46] Yui**
Will this really drive off the bugs?
**[21:50] Yui**
It's almost morning.
**[21:51] Yui**
Oh, sorry.
**[21:54] Kinta**
It's fine.

**[22:09] Sakuna**
I wish I could meet them someday.
**[22:13] Tauemon**
Ah, it's dawn.
**[22:16] Sakuna**
What is this?
**[22:18] Tauemon**
The ears of the rice plants are sprouting.
**[22:22] Sakuna**
The ears...
**[22:23] Tauemon**
These will continue growing
until fall and become rice.

**[00:06] Sakuna**
Look at how much they've grown.
**[00:13] Sakuna**
They're full of rice.
**[00:15] Tauemon**
But we mustn't let our guard down yet.
**[00:19] Tauemon**
Fall is the season
of heavy rains and storms.
**[00:22] Tauemon**
An entire crop can fail overnight.
**[00:25] Sakuna**
What?
**[00:26] Sakuna**
What do we do if that happens?
**[00:28] Tauemon**
We'll have to start over again next year.
**[00:31] Sakuna**
No way...
**[00:33] Tama**
Such is the nature of growing rice.
**[00:35] Tama**
Because of that, harvests are
a particularly joyful occasion.
**[00:40] Tauemon**
What's this?
**[00:48] Tauemon**
That seemed rather large.
**[00:51] Tama**
The Ashigumo said the volcano
has been rather active recently.
**[00:56] Sakuna**
The volcano, huh?
**[00:57] Kinta**
Bad news!
**[00:59] Kinda**
Bad news!
**[01:01] Sakuna**
What is it?
**[01:02] Kinta**
There's something terrible
happening at the river.
**[01:05] Sakuna**
The river?
***SIGN*** Episode 6
Flames of Hatred
**[02:38] Sakuna**
What is this?
**[02:40] Sakuna**
What's that smell?
**[02:42] Tama**
That's the smell of sulfur.
**[02:45] Myrthe**
The kappa said they saw many
demons going to the volcano.
**[02:50] Tama**
This isn't the only place.
**[02:56] Sakuna**
Here, too?
**[02:58] Tama**
Looks like we'll have to pay a visit.
**[03:02] Sakuna**
You mean to the volcano?
**[03:03] Myrthe**
Sakuna, don't you want to go?
**[03:08] Tama**
We entered the volcano once before, but...
**[03:12] (Flashback) Sakuna**
Today, we'll hike to the top.
**[03:18] (Flashback) Sakuna**
Wh-What is that?
**[03:20] (Flashback) Tama**
It sounds like a voice.
**[03:32] (Flashback) Sakuna**
L-Let's leave for today.
**[03:35] Tama**
She's avoided the volcano ever since.
**[03:38] Kinta**
Seriously?
**[03:39] Kinta**
You're a god,
but you're afraid of ghosts?
**[03:42] Yui**
Cute.
**[03:45] Sakuna**
Shut up!
**[03:46] Sakuna**
I never said I was scared!
**[03:49] Kinta**
Then why don't you go?
**[03:51] Yui**
Yeah.
**[03:55] Sakuna**
Why are you two suddenly getting along?
**[03:59] Tauemon**
But the volcano's
poison could harm the rice.
**[04:03] Tauemon**
We must do something...
**[04:05] Sakuna**
Fine, fine.
**[04:07] Sakuna**
You want me to go check it out, right?
**[04:09] Sakuna**
Tama.
**[04:10] Tama**
What is it?
**[04:13] Sakuna**
Where did I put my spirit warding talisman?
**[04:23] Sakuna**
This place is as creepy as ever.
**[04:26] Tama**
It's filled with even more evil energy
than the last time we visited.
**[04:30] Sakuna**
I don't hear any voices, though.
**[04:41] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[04:42] Sakuna**
Is that a demon?
**[04:51] Tama**
It seems to be dead already.
**[04:53] Sakuna**
What?
**[04:57] Sakuna**
What's this?
**[05:00] Voice**
Hate... hate...
**[05:07] Sakuna**
Wh-What's that sound?
**[05:09] Tama**
I'm not sure.
**[05:11] Sakuna**
Tama...
**[05:12] Tama**
What is it?
**[05:15] Sakuna**
Let's leave for today.
**[05:18] Sakuna**
I'm leaving!
**[05:19] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[05:24] Sakuna**
Ouch...
**[05:30] Sakuna**
Wh-What is this?
**[05:41] Sakuna**
Did these things kill the demons?
**[05:43] Tama**
It certainly seems that way.
**[05:49] Sakuna**
Fierce Furrow!
**[05:55] Yomotsugami**
Hate... hate...
**[06:06] Sakuna**
Ashigumo?
**[06:07] Ashigumo**
This way. Follow me.
**[06:14] Sakuna**
The corpses of Ashigumo?
**[06:17] Ashigumo**
Yes.
**[06:18] Ashigumo**
They've become Specters,
bringers of death shrouded in death.
**[06:23] Tama**
I see.
**[06:24] Tama**
So they've been killing demons
to avenge their own murders?
**[06:29] Ashigumo**
Yes.
**[06:31] Sakuna**
But why would they do that?
**[06:34] Ashigumo**
Many of the corpses come
from higher up on the mountain,
**[06:38] Ashigumo**
probably the peak itself.
**[06:39] Ashigumo**
There's something on the peak controlling
the corpses and making them do this.
**[06:45] Ashigumo**
They're defiling the Ashigumo.
**[06:49] Ashigumo**
I'd give my life to stop them.
**[06:52] Sakuna**
Ashigumo...
**[06:54] Tama**
Your Highness.
**[06:55] Sakuna**
I know.
**[06:56] Sakuna**
My father and mother met on this island
and protected it alongside the Ashigumo.
**[07:03] Sakuna**
I'll go with you.
**[07:06] Ashigumo**
Try not to get in my way.
**[07:07] Sakuna**
Who do you think you're talking to?
**[07:17] (Flashback) Ashigumo**
Try to keep up.
**[07:20] (Flashback) Takeribi**
Who do you think you're talking to?
**[07:28] Sakuna**
What is it?
**[07:30] Ashigumo**
Nothing.
**[07:31] Ashigumo**
Come to think of it,
when we fought Omizuchi...
**[07:34] Ashigumo**
you ended up like that
after the sword was broken.
**[07:39] Ashigumo**
Neither of us have had it easy.
**[07:42] Ashigumo**
Takeribi fought with the first
Kamuhitsuki after that as well.
**[07:47] (Flashback) Takeribi**
I don't care if they're
from the capital!
**[07:50] (Flashback) Takeribi**
Let's show them this is the
best island in all the Lofty Realm!
**[07:55] (Flashback) Ashigumo**
Yeah!
**[07:57] Ashigumo**
It was never boring with him around.
**[08:02] Sakuna**
You're smiling, too.
**[08:05] Ashigumo**
Does that bother you?
**[08:07] Sakuna**
No.
**[08:08] Sakuna**
I have no stories to tell about
my father or mother, that's all.
**[08:15] Sakuna**
I'm going to sleep.
**[08:19] Tama**
Don't worry about it.
**[08:22] Tama**
She's probably simply
beginning to feel...
**[08:25] Tama**
that Lady Toyohana and Lord
Takeribi actually lived here.
**[08:35] Sakuna**
Take this!
**[08:40] Sakuna**
We've climbed pretty high.
Are we there yet?
**[08:51] Ashigumo**
We should be there soon.
**[08:53] Sakuna**
Right.
**[08:59] Sakuna**
What's this?
**[09:02] Ashigumo**
There's something in there. Let's go.
**[09:13] Sakuna**
It's so hot.
**[09:15] Sakuna**
You're done for if you fall in there.
**[09:22] Ashigumo**
Who's there?
**[09:23] Voice**
Hate... hate...
**[09:27] Voice**
Hate!
**[09:29] Sakuna**
What's this?
**[09:31] Tama**
Probably a Homusubi Specter.
**[09:34] Tama**
This must be the one controlling
the Ashigumo corpses.
**[09:48] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[09:58] Sakuna**
Ashigumo!
**[10:00] Ashigumo**
The skeletons in the area
were probably my tribe as well.
**[10:04] Ashigumo**
And the one controlling them is...
**[10:06] Sakuna**
That thing, right?
**[10:16] Yomotsugami**
I don't want to die...
**[10:22] Yomotsugami**
Hate... hate...
**[10:25] Sakuna**
Ashigumo!
**[10:31] Sakuna**
Ashigumo!
**[10:39] Sakuna**
Ashigumo.
**[10:40] Ashigumo**
Kill it...
**[10:42] Tama**
Your Highness, we should retreat.
**[10:57] Tauemon**
He's gravely injured.
**[11:00] Tauemon**
We should keep him here for a while.
**[11:02] Myrthe**
I made medicine.
**[11:07] Ashigumo**
Forgive me. Please forgive me.
**[11:10] Sakuna**
Look after Ashigumo.
**[11:12] Tama**
Wait.
**[11:14] Sakuna**
As long as that thing is around,
Ashigumo can't recover in peace.
**[11:18] Tama**
But...
**[11:18] Sakuna**
I feel sorry for Ashigumo!
**[11:20] Sakuna**
He's been protecting
the island all by himself!
**[11:51] Sakuna**
It's not working.
**[11:53] Tama**
Your Highness, is that
the Rising Carp technique?
**[11:56] Sakuna**
It's the best technique for wiping out the
Specters that keep appearing everywhere,
**[12:02] Sakuna**
but I'm still not strong enough
to use Rising Carp or Milky Way.
**[12:07] Tama**
Wait.
**[12:09] Sakuna**
What is it?
**[12:11] Tama**
It will be harvest time soon.
**[12:14] Sakuna**
The harvest...
**[12:15] Tama**
Have you forgotten?
You are a harvest goddess.
**[12:19] Tama**
You will use the power of the rice.
**[12:24] Sign**

***SIGN*** Harvest
When the plants begin to sag under the weight of the
plump rice, the rice is harvested using sickles and hung
from a rack to dry. Harvest time must not be missed, so
like tilling the fields, everyone helps with the harvest.
Rice that has been threshed using a threshing machine
or other tools is called unhulled rice. Because scraps of
leaves and straw are mixed in with the rice, winnowers
are used to separate them using air.
**[12:44] Sakuna**
This is killing my back.
**[12:47] Tauemon**
Once you've cut it,
tie the rice into bundles.
**[12:55] Tauemon**
Then we'll hang them to dry, like this.
**[13:01] Sakuna**
Hup.
**[13:03] Sakuna**
Like this?
**[13:06] Tauemon**
Very good.
**[13:08] Sakuna**
And we have to do this for both fields?
**[13:13] Tama**
They say fall is the busiest
season for growing rice.
**[13:18] Tama**
In the Lowly Realm, everyone in the
village works together to get it done.
**[13:25] Sakuna**
There's nobody like that here,
**[13:30] Sakuna**
but we do have someone
making more work for us.
**[13:37] Sakuna**
I can't move anymore.
**[13:39] Tauemon**
You did a truly fine job.
**[13:42] Tauemon**
Depending on the weather and dryness
of the rice, we'll move it into storage.
**[13:50] Sakuna**
I finished moving the rice.
**[13:52] Sakuna**
So, when does it become rice?
**[13:55] Tauemon**
Just a little longer.
**[13:57] Tauemon**
This is a kokibashi.
**[14:01] Tauemon**
You use it like this...
**[14:04] Tauemon**
to thresh the rice.
**[14:12] Sakuna**
Now this is the rice I recognize.
**[14:15] Tauemon**
Not yet.
**[14:16] Tauemon**
We still have to hull and polish the rice.
**[14:20] Sakuna**
There's more?
**[14:21] Tauemon**
Yes.
**[14:24] Sakuna**
I can't believe this is all
the rice we get from these plants.
**[14:29] Tama**
It also means all the blessings
of the earth and sun
**[14:33] Tama**
gathered by the leaves
are contained within the rice.
**[14:42] Sakuna**
I have to do this, too?
**[14:55] Tauemon**
Once the brown rice is polished,
we will finally have white rice.
**[15:05] Sakuna**
Like this?
**[15:07] Tauemon**
Yes.
**[15:08] Tauemon**
The whiteness of the rice depends
on how much you do that.
**[15:13] Sakuna**
So polishing it more
isn't necessarily better.
**[15:18] Tauemon**
Brown rice is more filling and nutritious,
but white rice tastes better.
**[15:27] Sakuna**
I see. That should be enough.
**[15:32] Tama**
This is rice.
**[15:34] Tama**
Your first rice harvest.
**[15:39] Sakuna**
It's beautiful.
**[15:41] Tauemon**
That's some impressive rice.
**[15:43] Sakuna**
All right. Let's cook it up and eat it.
**[15:49] Kinta**
Is it ready yet?
**[15:51] Myrthe**
You mustn't open the lid
even if the baby cries.
**[15:55] Yui**
I thought it was done
once it stops making noise.
**[15:59] Sakuna**
Really?
**[16:03] Sakuna**
I don't hear anything.
**[16:06] Tauemon**
Then it's probably done.
**[16:09] Sakuna**
I'm opening it.
**[16:21] Kinta**
What's this smell?
**[16:23] Yui**
Hurry up and serve it.
**[16:26] Tauemon**
I'll do it.
**[16:28] Sakuna**
Don't you dare touch that!
**[16:35] Ashigumo**
White rice? I haven't
eaten this in a while.
**[16:40] Sakuna**
Let's eat. Is everyone ready?
**[16:46] Sakuna**
Thanks for the food.
**[16:51] All**
Thanks for the food.
**[16:56] Sakuna**
This is...
**[16:58] Kinta**
What is this?
**[16:59] Yui**
It's sweet.
**[17:01] Myrthe**
Marvelous.
**[17:03] Tauemon**
I don't believe it.
**[17:09] Tama**
That is rice.
**[17:14] Sakuna**
Tama...
**[17:16] Tama**
From tilling in the spring
to hulling in the fall,
**[17:20] Tama**
you steadfastly watched
over the rice's growth
**[17:24] Tama**
and poured your love into it to create this.
**[17:29] Tama**
That is what makes rice strong.
**[17:32] Tama**
Rice is power.
**[18:10] Sakuna**
Where do you think you're going?
**[18:14] Ashigumo**
You have your mission from Kamuhitsuki.
**[18:18] Ashigumo**
The Ashigumo are none of your business.
**[18:23] Ashigumo**
I will settle this matter.
**[18:24] Sakuna**
Thank you.
**[18:26] Sakuna**
For protecting the island my father
and mother lived on.
**[18:33] Sakuna**
Will you let me handle this?
**[18:37] Sakuna**
They may be corpses, but I don't
want to see you fight your loved ones.
**[18:50] (Flashback) Toyohana**
Will you let me handle this?
**[18:53] (Flashback) Toyohana**
This quarrel...
**[19:15] Yui**
I tried making something.
**[19:21] Kinta**
Take this with you.
**[19:33] Sakuna**
Now I have nothing to worry about.
**[19:41] Sakuna**
Let's go.
**[19:43] Tama**
Be careful.
**[19:46] Sakuna**
I know.
**[19:54] Sakuna**
Hey. Sorry I kept you waiting.
**[20:06] Tama**
What? There are even more than before.
**[20:09] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[20:11] Sakuna**
No matter how many there are,
we just need to get rid of them, right?
**[20:17] Sakuna**
This is the power of rice!
**[20:22] Sakuna**
Take this!
**[20:53] Sakuna**
That won't work!
**[21:11] Sakuna**
Gotcha!
**[21:23] Yomotsuhomusubi**
Hate... hate...
**[21:29] Yomotsuhomusubi**
We were killed...
**[21:34] Yomotsuhomusubi**
By demons... by humans...
**[21:51] Sakuna**
Did it say humans?
**[21:54] Sakuna**
What was that thing?
**[22:26] Ashigumo**
Thank you.

**[00:05] Kokorowa**
Since Sakuna left for the Isle of Demons,
**[00:09] Kokorowa**
my life has changed dramatically.
**[00:13] Kokorowa**
I was appointed to an important
position by Lady Kamuhitsuki
**[00:16] Kokorowa**
and received praise
from the other gods as well.
**[00:21] Kokorowa**
It's like I traded my friend for honor.
**[00:28] Kokorowa**
But somewhere deep down,
this is the life I wanted.
**[00:34] Kamuhitsuki**
I received a letter from Princess Sakuna.
**[00:38] Kamuhitsuki**
I'm thinking of summoning her back.
**[00:41] Kokorowa**
Yes, Your Majesty.
**[00:42] Kokorowa**
My distress made me realize that
despite the status and honor I had gained,
**[00:50] Kokorowa**
I was still afraid of Sakuna's shadow.
***SIGN*** Episode 7
The Melancholy of Kokorowa
**[02:23] Sakuna**
I am honored to have
received your invitation.
**[02:28] Kamuhitsuki**
Is what was written
in this letter the truth?
**[02:32] Sakuna**
Yes.
**[02:33] Sakuna**
The Homusubi Specter said those
words before it disappeared.
**[02:40] Kamuhitsuki**
In other words, humans are
involved in this demonic outbreak?
**[02:45] Tama**
It's too early to say,
but it's a possibility.
**[02:53] Kamuhitsuki**
This may have something to do
with the famines of the Lowly Realm.
**[02:57] Kamuhitsuki**
Continue investigating the reason
for the demons' appearance.
**[03:02] Sakuna**
Yes, Your Majesty.
**[03:06] Kamuhitsuki**
What is that?
**[03:07] Sakuna**
I humbly offer this rice that
was harvested on the Isle of Demons.
**[03:11] Kamuhitsuki**
Rice?
**[03:12] Tama**
It is the first rice Princess Sakuna
planted and harvested herself.
**[03:18] Tama**
We happened to return to
the capital just as it was harvested.
**[03:21] Sakuna**
I hope you like it.
**[03:24] Kamuhitsuki**
I see.
**[03:25] Kamuhitsuki**
So you're beginning to realize
what it means to be a harvest goddess.
**[03:30] Kamuhitsuki**
I appreciate the offering.
**[03:33] Sakuna**
Yes, Your Majesty.
**[03:37] Sakuna**
My neck hurts, and my legs are numb.
**[03:41] Sakuna**
Being in Lady Kamuhitsuki's
presence is exhausting.
**[03:44] Tama**
That just goes to show how
much you lounge around normally.
**[03:49] Tama**
Why not take this opportunity
to straighten yourself out as...
**[03:54] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[03:56] Sakuna**
Anyway, Lady Kamuhitsuki
sure is unreasonable.
**[04:00] Sakuna**
I thought if I gave her
some of her favorite rice...
**[04:02] Kamuhitsuki**
Princess Sakuna, as a reward for this rice,
**[04:05] Kamuhitsuki**
I will allow you to remain
in the capital for a while.
**[04:08] Kamuhitsuki**
Stretch your wings.
**[04:10] Sakuna**
At least, that's what
I thought would happen.
**[04:13] Tama**
Normally, only the best rice
is offered to Lady Kamuhitsuki.
**[04:19] Tama**
You should be grateful she
accepted your offering at all.
**[04:22] Sakuna**
Rice is rice, isn't it?
**[04:25] Sakuna**
Anyway, we came all the way here.
**[04:27] Sakuna**
I'd like to see Kokorowa's
face at least once.
**[04:31] God B**
Princess Kokorowa.
**[04:33] God B**
I'd like to discuss security
for the main temple.
**[04:36] Sakuna**
Kokorowa?
**[04:38] Kokorowa**
S-Sakuna? What are you doing here?
**[04:41] Sakuna**
Kokorowa!
**[04:42] Sakuna**
I missed you!
**[04:44] Kokorowa**
Sakuna...
**[04:45] Sakuna**
Oh, I missed this feeling.
**[04:48] Sakuna**
Being around you is so relaxing.
**[04:51] Kokorowa**
Why the sudden visit?
**[04:53] Tama**
We just made our report to Lady Kamuhitsuki.
**[04:56] Tama**
Seeing as it's the end of the year,
we thought we'd stop by.
**[04:59] Kokorowa**
S-So, will you be staying in the capital?
**[05:04] Sakuna**
I wish.
**[05:05] Tama**
We're returning to
the Isle of Demons tomorrow.
**[05:10] Kokorowa**
I see.
**[05:11] Sakuna**
Okay, let's drink.
**[05:13] Sakuna**
Tonight we're gonna drink all night,
just like we used to.
**[05:15] Kokorowa**
What? B-But...
**[05:17] Sakuna**
Don't hold back. The ship
doesn't leave until tomorrow.
**[05:21] Sakuna**
Come on. Let's go to my room.
**[05:23] God B**
Princess Kokorowa, our discussion...
**[05:25] Sakuna**
What a pain in the butt.
We'll talk in my room.
**[05:29] Sakuna**
You can come with us.
**[05:34] Sakuna**
It's been too long!
**[05:36] Sakuna**
Tama, bring me some sake.
**[05:39] Tama**
I will not, Your Highness.
**[05:41] Sakuna**
Don't be like that.
**[05:42] Sakuna**
I'm finally back in my old room again.
**[05:45] God B**
Your room?
**[05:46] God B**
Is this not Princess Kokorowa's room?
***SIGN*** Duty
**[05:54] Sakuna**
Kokorowa, what did you just hide?
***SIGN*** Duty
**[05:57] Kokorowa**

**[06:00] Sakuna**
This is an official appointment scroll.
**[06:03] Sakuna**
Did you receive this after I left?
**[06:06] Kokorowa**
No, I...
**[06:12] Sakuna**
That's great!
**[06:13] Sakuna**
You always said you wanted to
receive an important post.
**[06:18] Sakuna**
Doesn't this mean Lady Kamuhitsuki
finally recognized your efforts?
**[06:22] Sakuna**
That's great news!
**[06:24] Kokorowa**
Sakuna...
**[06:25] Sakuna**
Why didn't you tell me?
**[06:28] Sakuna**
Tama, bring us some sake.
**[06:29] Tama**
Your Highness, I cannot...
**[06:31] Sakuna**
Oh, shut up!
**[06:33] Sakuna**
If you won't bring it,
then I'll go get some myself.
**[06:36] Sakuna**
Kokorowa, we're
celebrating tonight. Got it?
**[06:39] Kokorowa**
Sakuna.
**[06:41] Sakuna**
What is it?
**[06:43] Kokorowa**
Nothing.
**[06:45] Sakuna**
Okay.
**[06:47] Tama**
Your Highness, you haven't
completed your mission yet!
**[06:51] Tama**
And we're going back
to the Isle of Demons tomorrow!
**[06:52] Sakuna**
I know, I know.
**[06:58] Kokorowa**
*Unrequited Love Story?*
**[07:00] Sakuna**
Yeah.
**[07:01] Sakuna**
It helped mend the relationship
between some kids named Kinta and Yui.
**[07:07] Sakuna**
I knew Koushi Oborozuki could do it.
They're a real genius.
**[07:12] Sakuna**
Why are you laughing?
**[07:13] Kokorowa**
No reason.
**[07:15] Sakuna**
Anyway, has Koushi
Oborozuki put out a new book?
**[07:20] Kokorowa**
Unfortunately, I've been busy
with my duties...
**[07:23] Sakuna**
Duties?
**[07:24] Kokorowa**
I-I mean, I'm sure the author
Koushi Oborozuki is busy as well.
**[07:30] Sakuna**
I see. I'd love to meet them.
**[07:34] Sakuna**
So, how have you been, Kokorowa?
**[07:37] Sakuna**
Is your new job difficult?
**[07:39] Kokorowa**
It is, but it's worthwhile.
**[07:43] Kokorowa**
I've increased my efforts
on security for the capital.
**[07:47] Sakuna**
Yeah?
**[07:49] Kokorowa**
Recently, demons have been
seen around the capital.
**[07:54] Sakuna**
Demons? So they've
started turning up here, too.
**[07:59] Kokorowa**
Yes.
**[08:00] Kokorowa**
We don't know what they want,
**[08:02] Kokorowa**
but Lady Kamuhitsuki said
not to let a single one inside.
**[08:07] Sakuna**
Then I must work on my mission.
**[08:09] Sakuna**
Ashigumo was worried about it, too.
**[08:13] Kokorowa**
Sakuna, don't you want to
return to the capital?
**[08:17] Sakuna**
What?
**[08:18] Sakuna**
I'm dying to return.
Of course I want to come back.
**[08:23] Sakuna**
The Isle of Demons is a terrible place.
**[08:27] Sakuna**
There's nothing to eat, the summers
are hot, and the winters are cold.
**[08:30] Kokorowa**
I see.
**[08:32] Sakuna**
But, because of that, the joy
of accomplishment is tremendous.
**[08:40] Sakuna**
But I still like the capital.
**[08:43] Sakuna**
After all, you're here.
**[08:47] Kokorowa**
Do you remember when we tried to go
to the Isle of Demons together?
**[08:55] (Flashback) Sakuna**
If we hide in here,
we'll get there eventually.
**[08:58] (Flashback) Tama**
Your Highness.
**[09:00] (Flashback) Tama**
How many times do I have to tell you?
**[09:03] (Flashback) Tama**
You're too young to go.
**[09:07] (Flashback) Sakuna**
You said my father
and mother lived on the island.
**[09:11] (Flashback) Tama**
That is true, but...
**[09:13] (Flashback) Sakuna**
Then couldn't I go see them?
**[09:15] (Flashback) Sakuna**
All I have to do is take this boat.
**[09:19] (Flashback) Sakuna**
If I'm wrong, then tell me!
**[09:21] (Flashback) Sakuna**
If it's not true, then tell me!
**[09:23] (Flashback) Sakuna**
If my father and mother
are gone, then tell me!
**[09:32] Kokorowa**
I thought then that maybe you...
**[09:39] Kokorowa**
*That you were already far ahead of me.*
**[09:48] Kamuhitsuki**
Princess Sakuna. Princess Sakuna.
**[09:54] Sakuna**
Lady Kamuhitsuki?
**[09:56] Kamuhitsuki**
No need to be so formal.
I came here on a whim.
**[10:01] Sakuna**
Oh, I was just...
**[10:03] Kamuhitsuki**
I'm not angry.
**[10:05] Kamuhitsuki**
I just wanted you to eat something.
**[10:09] Sakuna**
Eat something?
**[10:17] Sakuna**
What's this?
**[10:18] Kamuhitsuki**
One is the rice you offered me today.
**[10:22] Kamuhitsuki**
The other is rice grown by Lady Toyohana.
**[10:26] Kamuhitsuki**
Compare them.
**[10:29] Sakuna**
My mother's rice...
**[10:47] Kamuhitsuki**
Well?
**[10:48] Kamuhitsuki**
It's hard to believe
they're both rice, isn't it?
**[10:51] Kamuhitsuki**
The sweetness, the stickiness,
and the texture are all superb.
**[10:57] Sakuna**
So this is...
**[11:02] Kamuhitsuki**
It seems you've never considered
the differences in rice before.
**[11:06] Kamuhitsuki**
It changes this much
according to who grows it.
**[11:10] Kamuhitsuki**
Remember that.
**[11:12] Sakuna**
But why are you telling me this?
**[11:14] Kamuhitsuki**
I look forward to enjoying rice grown by the
daughter of Lady Toyohana the harvest goddess.
**[11:34] Sakuna**
*Why?*
**[11:35] Sakuna**
*What's different? Was it the seed rice?*
**[11:39] Sakuna**
* No, the seeds Ashigumo gave me*
* were grown by my mother.*
**[11:44] Sakuna**
* I grew mine in the same place*
* in the same soil, but they're so different.*
**[11:52] Sakuna**
Was it the fertilizer?
The water? No, the draining?
**[11:57] Sakuna**
Tauemon said when you harvest
affects the flavor, too.
**[12:16] Kokorowa**
Sakuna...
**[12:24] Kokorowa**
Sakuna!
**[12:27] Sakuna**
Kokorowa?
**[12:29] Kokorowa**
Sakuna!
**[12:31] Sakuna**
Take care!
**[12:33] Sakuna**
I'll work hard to accomplish
my mission and grow good rice!
**[12:38] Sakuna**
I'll grow rice that I can be
proud of as a harvest goddess!
**[12:41] Sakuna**
I hope you'll have some
the next time we meet!
**[12:44] Sakuna**
It's a promise!
**[12:46] Kokorowa**
Sakuna...
***SIGN*** Brown Rice and White Rice
Rice that has been harvested and threshed is known as
unhulled rice, and rice that has been hulled is known
as brown rice. Brown rice that has had the germ
removed completely is known as white rice, and rice
that still has some remaining is called partially-pounded
rice. Brown rice keeps well and is nutritious, while
whiter rice is easier to digest and eat, but which state
someone likes most comes down to personal
preference. In Sakuna's era, commoners rarely ate
white rice, and it was a precious commodity.

**[13:01] Yui**
It's cold.
**[13:09] Kinta**
Go away!
**[13:13] Yui**
Thank you.
**[13:15] Kinta**
Sure.
**[13:21] Sakuna**
It's so cold. Nothing like the capital.
**[13:26] Yui**
Goddess.
**[13:27] Sakuna**
I just got back.
**[13:30] Sakuna**
I brought a gift.
**[13:34] Sakuna**
I'm finally starting to warm up.
**[13:39] Sakuna**
Well, who do you think you are,
showing up right when I get warm?
**[13:43] Myrthe**
Thank you for waiting.
**[13:45] Myrthe**
There wasn't much, so I made porridge.
**[13:49] Sakuna**
The rest of you should try this.
**[13:50] Kinta**
Is that rice?
**[13:51] Sakuna**
Not just any rice. My mother grew it.
**[13:55] Sakuna**
I was able to bring
a little bit back with me.
**[13:58] Yui**
It's so shiny and pretty.
**[14:01] Tauemon**
I can practically taste it already.
**[14:08] Tauemon**
What's this?
**[14:09] Myrthe**
Oh! Delicious.
**[14:12] Kinta**
I'm surprised. It's nothing
like the rice we grew.
**[14:16] Yui**
I feel like I'm melting.
**[14:18] Sakuna**
Right?
**[14:20] Sakuna**
I was amazed after a single bite, too.
**[14:22] Sakuna**
I couldn't believe such
delicious rice exists.
**[14:25] Kinta**
Why not? You've never eaten it before?
**[14:28] Sakuna**
No, I mean, I used to eat this all the time.
**[14:33] Yui**
What does that mean?
**[14:34] Tauemon**
Th-This is...
**[14:37] Tauemon**
This is no ordinary rice.
**[14:38] Tauemon**
This is the kind of divine rice
all rice farmers dream of eating.
**[14:46] Kinta**
Is that worth crying over?
**[14:48] Yui**
Divine rice?
**[14:50] Yui**
Well, this rice really was made by a god.
**[14:54] Sakuna**
Tauemon.
**[14:56] Tauemon**
What is it?
**[14:59] Sakuna**
I want to try growing rice like this, too.
**[15:02] Tama**
Your Highness...
**[15:04] Sakuna**
After spending a year
cultivating rice, I had a thought.
**[15:07] Sakuna**
If it takes this much effort,
I want to grow the best rice possible.
**[15:12] Sakuna**
I want to create something
that will make everyone who eats it happy.
**[15:15] Taumeon**
That's a marvelous goal.
**[15:19] Kinta**
He's crying again.
**[15:22] Tama**
Finally...
**[15:23] Tama**
You've finally started
to become a harvest goddess...
**[15:27] Yui**
He's crying, too.
**[15:29] Myrthe**
Oh, cute.
**[15:31] Sakuna**
Is that possible?
**[15:32] Tauemon**
The entire process for cultivating this rice
is contained within the scroll.
**[15:38] Sakuna**
I see. Then...
**[15:40] Tauemon**
However, actually growing
it won't be easy.
**[15:45] Tauemon**
Growing rice is a battle of establishing
harmony with nature and weather.
**[15:50] Tama**
The same seeds and soil yield
different results depending
**[15:54] Tama**
on the sun, rain, heat,
and cold throughout the year.
**[16:01] Tama**
It is necessary to build
experience and cultivate
**[16:04] Tama**
the best possible rice
through trial and error.
**[16:08] Sakuna**
In other words, it'll take years?
**[16:12] Tauemon**
Unfortunately, yes.
**[16:17] Sakuna**
Then we have no choice.
**[16:18] Tauemon**
Sakuna...
**[16:21] Sakuna**
Is there anything we can do over the winter?
**[16:31] Sakuna**
The seeds?
**[16:33] Tauemon**
Yes.
**[16:34] Tauemon**
We'll put the seeds in here,
mix them into mud,
**[16:38] Tauemon**
and remove the bad seeds
that come floating to the top.
**[16:43] Tauemon**
By selecting only the fullest seeds
that sink to the bottom,
**[16:47] Tauemon**
we can prepare for planting in the spring.
**[16:51] Sakuna**
I see.
**[16:53] Sakuna**
It's strange, though.
**[16:55] Sakuna**
Each little thing we do
to prepare affects the final result.
**[17:00] Tauemon**
Indeed.
**[17:03] Sakuna**
And in spring, we'll start
growing rice all over again.
**[18:30] Tauemon**
Our fourth harvest was incredibly bountiful.
**[18:34] Tauemon**
I can hardly believe how much we struggled.
**[18:37] Sakuna**
The kappa did a great job.
**[18:40] Sakuna**
They did even more work than we did.
**[18:44] Sakuna**
What should we give them?
**[18:46] Tama**
Since they're kappa, perhaps cucumbers?
**[18:49] Sakuna**
Cucumbers, huh?
**[18:50] Sakuna**
But the ones that grow
on this island are too bitter.
**[18:54] Tama**
You could sell your rice
and buy some from the capital.
**[18:57] Sakuna**
That's a good idea.
**[19:00] Sakuna**
This year's rice
should be especially good.
**[19:03] Sakuna**
I was just thinking about offering some
to Lady Kamuhitsuki if it's good enough.
**[19:08] Kinta**
It's ready.
**[19:18] Sakuna**
It's so lustrous. Fragrant, too.
**[19:22] Kinta**
It's been years,
and you're still doing that.
**[19:27] Tama**
The time has come to give it a name.
**[19:31] Sakuna**
A name?
**[19:32] Tama**
Yes, a name for the rice.
**[19:34] Tama**
Aren't you going to offer it to
Lady Kamuhitsuki and sell it at the capital?
**[19:40] Sakuna**
Anyone got any good names?
**[19:42] Kinta**
I don't know...
**[19:45] Kinta**
Since it was harvested
on the Isle of Demons, what about Demon Rice?
**[19:49] Sakuna**
Too simple.
**[19:50] Tauemon**
What about Midnight Oil?
**[19:54] Tauemon**
In this remote place,
we endure great hardship to—
**[19:57] Sakuna**
Too convoluted. Next.
**[19:59] Yui**
Since a god made it,
what about God's Rice?
**[20:03] Sakuna**
The buyers could be gods, too. Next.
**[20:06] Myrthe**
Wild Sakuna.
**[20:07] Sakuna**
Next.
**[20:08] Kinta**
Instead of relying on us,
you come up with something.
**[20:12] Tama**
As the harvest goddess,
perhaps you should handle this.
**[20:17] Sakuna**
I suppose you're right.
**[20:18] Sakuna**
I'll use the rich vocabulary
I developed reading
**[20:22] Sakuna**
all of Koushi Oborozuki's
*Unrequited Love Story*.
**[20:26] Sakuna**
This is the Lofty Realm.
**[20:29] Sakuna**
In other words, Heaven. No, ama.
**[20:32] Sakuna**
And rice plants... inaho...
**[20:36] Sakuna**
What about the name Amaho's Honor?
**[20:38] Kaimaru**
Amahoho!
**[20:40] Kinta**
Amahoho, huh? That's nice.
**[20:42] Yui**
It's easy to remember.
**[20:43] Tauemon**
And feels familiar, too.
**[20:45] Sakuna**
No, wait. I said Amaho's Honor—
**[20:47] Myrthe**
Let's enjoy some Amahoho!
**[20:50] All**
Thanks for the food!
**[21:03] Kokorowa**
*Sakuna did?*
**[21:06] Kamuhitsuki**
Yes.
**[21:06] Kamuhitsuki**
The Amahoho she offered me
earlier was delicious.
**[21:11] Kamuhitsuki**
Rice like this can't be made without patiently
working with it over a long period of time.
**[21:17] Kamuhitsuki**
The old Princess Sakuna
could never have made this.
**[21:22] Kamuhitsuki**
I love rice more than anything.
**[21:26] Kamuhitsuki**
The ability to grow good rice is enough of
a reason to grant someone an official duty.
**[21:31] Kokorowa**
An official duty?
**[21:32] Kamuhitsuki**
Yes.
**[21:33] Kamuhitsuki**
I'm thinking of summoning Princess Sakuna
and granting her an official duty.
**[21:42] Kokorowa**
*Why?*
**[21:43] Kokorowa**
*All she does is laze around and sleep.*
**[21:45] Kokorowa**
*She's selfish and does nothing to help.*
**[21:47] Kokorowa**
*So why...*
**[21:49] Kokorowa**
* Why does she receive*
* more recognition than me?*
**[21:52] Kokorowa**
*Why does she seem bigger than me?*
**[21:57] Kokorowa**
* I work so much harder than her*
* and have done so much more than her,*
**[22:03] Kokorowa**
*so why am I so afraid of her?*
**[22:06] Kokorowa**
*Why do I feel like I can't compare?*
**[22:16] Kokorowa**
Who's there?
**[22:22] Kokorowa**
A demon?

**[00:06] Sakuna**
It's cold as ever.
**[00:08] Sakuna**
Look. It's completely frozen.
**[00:11] Tauemon**
But you can detect a hint of spring.
**[00:14] Sakuna**
How?
**[00:21] Kinta**
Your fault for spacing out.
**[00:24] Sakuna**
You little brat!
**[00:26] Kinta**
Why are you acting like such a kid?
**[00:29] Sakuna**
Shut up!
**[00:30] Sakuna**
I don't want to be called a kid by a kid!
**[00:37] Kinta**
Who is that?
**[00:40] Tama**
Well, well.
**[00:42] Tama**
It's good to see you again, Semorigami.
**[00:45] Tama**
How have you been?
**[00:49] Kinta**
I don't understand
a word they're saying.
**[00:52] Tama**
This one is an exceptional Morigami,
but they've got a thick accent.
**[01:00] Sakuna**
What's this?
**[02:32] Sakuna**
Amahoho is a dangerous crop?
***SIGN*** Episode 8 The Rice Riot
That Shook the Capital
**[02:35] Tauemon**
But we heard it has
a good reputation in the capital.
**[02:38] Tama**
Bad crops are the same
here in the Lofty Realm.
**[02:42] Tama**
It's been a while since anyone other
than Lady Kamuhitsuki has eaten rice,
**[02:46] Tama**
so the gods are happy.
**[02:49] Sakuna**
What's so dangerous about that?
**[02:51] Tama**
Apparently this is
the so-called dangerous rice.
**[03:04] Sakuna**
I don't notice anything unusual.
**[03:09] Tama**
You'll see once you eat it.
**[03:11] Kinta**
Isn't it dangerous?
**[03:13] Yui**
Does that mean one bite can't hurt us?
**[03:20] Tauemon**
What's this?
**[03:21] Yui**
It's definitely Amahoho.
**[03:24] Myrthe**
The flavor is normal.
**[03:26] Sakuna**
No, but... the aftertaste
seems a bit different.
**[03:31] Tauemon**
It's strangely addictive.
**[03:37] Tama**
That's exactly what the problem is.
**[03:39] Tama**
Those who eat this rice become addicted
**[03:44] Tama**
to the aftertaste and refuse
to eat anything else,
**[03:46] Tama**
so the distribution of Amahoho
is currently prohibited.
**[03:50] Sakuna**
What?!
**[03:54] Sakuna**
There are a few tiny grains mixed in.
**[03:58] Tauemon**
Did someone trying to damage
Amahoho's reputation mix them in?
**[04:02] Sakuna**
Who would do something so awful to my rice?
**[04:09] Tama**
They're not certain who the culprit is,
**[04:12] Tama**
but according to rumors,
there is one potential suspect.
**[04:15] Sakuna**
Who? Tell me.
**[04:19] Tama**
Is that true?
**[04:23] Tama**
Even Lady Kamuhitsuki?
It's gotten that far already?
**[04:27] Sakuna**
What is it? I don't understand.
**[04:30] Sakuna**
Hurry up and tell me.
**[04:31] Tama**
But this is...
**[04:34] Sakuna**
You better tell me after
making it sound so important.
**[04:41] Tama**
Try to remain calm.
**[04:44] Tama**
The one currently suspected
of distributing this rice is...
**[04:48] Tama**
Princess Kokorowa.
**[04:51] Sakuna**
Kokorowa...
**[04:52] Tama**
Yes. Lady Kamuhitsuki
has already heard about it.
**[04:57] Tama**
She plans to investigate it herself soon.
**[05:01] Sakuna**
Kokorowa did this...
**[05:03] Kinta**
Who's Kokorowa?
**[05:05] Yui**
The one we met when we
first entered the capital.
**[05:09] Kinta**
Oh, the god with the giant gear on her back?
**[05:14] Myrthe**
Sakuna's friend.
**[05:20] Sakuna**
There's no way that's true.
**[05:23] Sakuna**
Kokorowa is my best friend.
**[05:25] Sakuna**
She'd never do anything like that.
**[05:28] Tama**
Depending on the results of the investigation,
she could be stripped of her duties.
**[05:33] Sakuna**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[05:38] Tama**
Where are you going?
**[05:39] Sakuna**
I'm going to the capital
to find the true culprit myself.
**[05:43] Tama**
You mustn't!
**[05:44] Sakuna**
Don't try to stop me.
**[05:45] Tama**
Listen to me!
**[05:47] Tama**
By offering her Amahoho and managing
to learn a little bit about the demons,
**[05:52] Tama**
you've caught Lady
Kamuhitsuki's attention.
**[05:55] Tama**
If you return to the capital
without her permission now...
**[05:58] Sakuna**
That said, I can't ignore this.
**[06:01] Sakuna**
Kokorowa is my best friend.
**[06:03] Tama**
But...
**[06:05] Myrthe**
I think Sakuna should go.
**[06:09] Sakuna**
Myrthe...
**[06:10] Myrthe**
You cannot abandon those you love.
**[06:13] Myrthe**
It is not good to do nothing when you
know something terrible may happen.
**[06:17] Myrthe**
My own god teaches the same thing.
**[06:21] Yui**
I agree.
**[06:23] Kinta**
Yui...
**[06:26] Tauemon**
If only you could enter the capital
without being caught by Lady Kamuhitsuki.
**[06:34] Tama**
Is there a way?
**[06:44] Sailor A**
Those are some big boxes.
**[06:47] Sailor B**
They're the Semorigami's
personal belongings.
**[06:52] Sailor A**
Huh.
**[06:54] Tama**
You really should reconsider.
**[06:57] Tama**
This won't fool Lady Kamuhitsuki.
**[07:02] Sakuna**
Tama, do you remember?
**[07:05] Sakuna**
When Kokorowa and I tried to get to the
**[07:08] Sakuna**
Isle of Demons by hiding
in a box like this one?
**[07:12] (Flashback) Sakuna**
If I'm wrong, then tell me!
**[07:14] (Flashback) Sakuna**
If it's not true, then tell me!
**[07:16] (Flashback) Sakuna**
If my father and mother
are gone, then tell me!
**[07:22] Tama**
I believe I remember that.
**[07:25] Sakuna**
I'm sorry about that.
**[07:27] Tama**
Your Highness...
**[07:29] Sakuna**
You stay in the box.
**[07:31] Sakuna**
Then I'm the only one who will be
punished if we're caught.
**[07:37] Tama**
You're hopeless.
**[07:58] Sailor**
What was that?
**[08:09] Sakuna**
We'll try going to
Kokorowa's room first.
**[08:13] Tama**
If we speak, the other gods will hear us.
**[08:20] Sakuna**
Tama...
**[08:22] Tama**
You mustn't speak. Find a way past them.
**[08:25] Sakuna**
Oh, hello!
**[08:28] Sakuna**
Oh, yes! V-Ventania, Ouka, Nadit!
**[08:37] Yomi**
This smell...
**[08:40] Yomi**
I recognize this smell.
**[08:43] Hyotan**
Where is Lady Kamuhitsuki?
**[08:46] Landlady**
She's speaking with Princess
Kokorowa about that matter.
**[08:55] Sakuna**
Tama!
**[08:55] Tama**
Hurry!
**[08:57] Sakuna**
Got it!
**[09:04] Kamuhitsuki**
My investigation of the rice circulating
in the capital led me to this bag.
**[09:10] Kamuhitsuki**
Do you recognize it?
**[09:13] Kokorowa**
With all due respect, no.
**[09:15] Kamuhitsuki**
So you had nothing to do with this?
**[09:20] Kokorowa**
No.
**[09:21] Kamuhitsuki**
Then why do the rumors say that you did?
**[09:26] Kokorowa**
Someone must be jealous about
the official duties I received.
**[09:33] Kamuhitsuki**
I see.
**[09:40] Kamuhitsuki**
Princess Kokorowa.
**[09:42] Kokorowa**
Yes.
**[09:43] Kamuhitsuki**
You could say this rice
circulated in the capital
**[09:45] Kamuhitsuki**
because there are issues
with the capital's security.
**[09:49] Kamuhitsuki**
You will use those resources
to find the culprit.
**[09:52] Kokorowa**
Me?
**[09:56] Kamuhitsuki**
Is there a problem?
**[09:57] Kokorowa**
No.
**[10:00] Kokorowa**
I appreciate your trust in me.
**[10:14] (Flashback) Kokorowa**
What's this?
**[10:16] (Flashback) Kokorowa**
If I mix this into Amahoho,
its reputation will fall.
**[10:25] (Flashback) Kokorowa**
What am I thinking? I could
never do something like that...
**[10:35] Kokorowa**
Why did I...?
**[10:42] Kokorowa**
Who are you?
**[10:44] Sakuna**
Kokorowa.
**[10:45] Kokorowa**
S-Sakuna?
**[10:47] Sakuna**
Kokorowa!
**[10:51] Sakuna**
Don't worry.
**[10:52] Sakuna**
I promise I'll find the true culprit
and prove your innocence.
**[10:56] Kokorowa**
Wh-What are you doing here?
**[10:59] Sakuna**
Who wouldn't rush
to save a friend in danger?
**[11:03] Kokorowa**
What did Lady Kamuhitsuki say?
**[11:05] Kokorowa**
You shouldn't be doing this!
**[11:06] Kokorowa**
You'll be in big trouble if she finds out.
**[11:08] Kokorowa**
You may be banished
from the capital forever.
**[11:11] Sakuna**
I just want to save you.
**[11:14] Sakuna**
I want to be here for you.
**[11:17] Sakuna**
You were there for me
when I was suffering most.
**[11:26] (Flashback) Sakuna**
Kokorowa...
**[11:28] (Flashback) Sakuna**
Are my parents dead?
**[11:33] (Flashback) Sakuna**
They're already...
**[11:36] Sakuna**
You quietly stayed by my side.
**[11:41] Sakuna**
I want to repay that kindness.
**[11:45] Sakuna**
Leave it to me.
**[11:51] Sakuna**
Kokorowa...
**[11:53] Kokorowa**
Let's sleep for today.
***SIGN*** Rice and Food Culture
Japanese food developed around soups, pickles, grilled
fish, and stews that went well with Japan's staple food
of rice. The invention of seasonings such as miso,
vinegar, and sake made from rice and beloved dishes
such as porridge, sushi, donburi made it take root in
Japanese cuisine. Local dishes adapted
to the climate are varied.

What is it?
**[12:10] Sakuna**
Ow!
**[12:11] Tama**
We seem to be inside a box.
**[12:14] Sakuna**
A box?
**[12:20] Sakuna**
“I'll be fine by myself.
**[12:22] Sakuna**
Sakuna, please return to the island.
**[12:25] Sakuna**
Thank you. Signed, Kokorowa.”
**[12:33] Sailor A**
Okay, that's the last one.
**[12:47] Kokorowa**
Sakuna...
**[12:50] Sailor B**
What was that?
**[12:53] Tama**
Your Highness, what are you doing?
**[13:00] Sakuna**
Kokorowa!
**[13:05] Sakuna**
Kokorowa!
**[13:11] Sakuna**
Kokorowa!
**[13:13] Kokorowa**
Sakuna, why are you so determined?
**[13:18] Sakuna**
Because I'm your friend.
**[13:21] Kokorowa**
Friend?
**[13:23] Kokorowa**
Now that I think about it,
perhaps that word was making me suffer.
**[13:30] Kokorowa**
After you left, I finally
received an official duty.
**[13:34] Kokorowa**
This is the least I can do.
**[13:37] Kokorowa**
I can't accept myself!
**[13:42] Kokorowa**
Automatons, handle the rest.
**[13:46] Sakuna**
Kokorowa!
**[13:50] Tama**
Your Highness, you mustn't do this.
**[13:53] Tama**
You'll cause a commotion.
**[13:55] Sakuna**
Too late!
**[14:13] Tama**
These seem different from
the automatons we've seen so far.
**[14:17] Sakuna**
Kokorowa...
**[14:35] Tama**
Don't get hit by the light.
**[14:53] Sakuna**
Now!
**[15:24] Sakuna**
Kokorowa...
**[15:27] Sakuna**
What's this?
**[15:30] Kokorowa**
The rice I distributed.
**[15:33] Sakuna**
That you...? Then you really did do it?
**[15:37] Sakuna**
Why?
**[15:41] Kokorowa**
Because I didn't want you
to return to the capital.
**[15:45] Kokorowa**
Because I finally received an official duty.
**[15:49] Sakuna**
Wait. I wouldn't get in your way.
**[15:53] Sakuna**
If anything, I was happy—
**[15:54] Kokorowa**
You don't know how I feel!
**[15:58] Kokorowa**
You eat and sleep when you want,
read books, laugh, and live wildly!
**[16:04] Kokorowa**
Unlike you, I've
always worked really hard.
**[16:09] Kokorowa**
But my efforts weren't recognized...
**[16:12] Kokorowa**
because you drew all the attention while
living luxuriously off your family's name.
**[16:19] Kokorowa**
Lady Kamuhitsuki finally
granted me an official duty.
**[16:22] Kokorowa**
I won't let you take
anything else from me.
**[16:25] Kokorowa**
I don't want to fear your shadow anymore.
**[16:28] Sakuna**
Kokorowa...
**[16:32] Sakuna**
Hey, Kokorowa. Behind you.
**[16:34] Kokorowa**
Behind? What's behind me?
**[16:38] Kokorowa**
Were you listening to what I said?
**[16:40] Sakuna**
No, wait! We can talk later! Right now—
**[16:42] Kokorowa**
How rude!
**[16:44] Kokorowa**
When the one you called a friend is crying
in front of you, pouring her heart out...
**[17:00] Kamuhitsuki**
What a fragrant aroma.
**[17:07] Kamuhitsuki**
Not only did you leave the Isle of Demons
to return to the capital,
**[17:11] Kamuhitsuki**
but you managed to do that again.
**[17:13] Sakuna**
With all due respect, the rice
that burned was the dangerous rice.
**[17:17] Sakuna**
Compared to the previous bad explosion,
that was a good explosion.
**[17:21] Kamuhitsuki**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[17:23] Kamuhitsuki**
So, Princess Kokorowa.
**[17:26] Kamuhitsuki**
You're certain you were the one
who mixed something into the rice?
**[17:29] Kokorowa**
Yes. It was me.
**[17:32] Sakuna**
Kokorowa...
**[17:33] Kokorowa**
I turned to evil because
I was jealous of my friend.
**[17:38] Kokorowa**
Please punish me as you will.
**[17:41] Kamuhitsuki**
I see.
**[17:43] Kokorowa**
I'm responsible for
everything that happened.
**[17:47] Kokorowa**
Please forgive Princess
Sakuna for her crimes.
**[17:53] Kamuhitsuki**
An honorable sentiment.
**[17:54] Kamuhitsuki**
I was impressed by your recent performance,
so this is especially disappointing.
**[18:01] Kamuhitsuki**
Therefore—
**[18:01] Sakuna**
Lady Kamuhitsuki!
**[18:04] Sakuna**
It was my inexperience
that caused all of this.
**[18:10] Kamuhitsuki**
But it was Princess Kokorowa
who mixed something into the rice.
**[18:16] Sakuna**
True, but I made Princess
Kokorowa do it because I never
**[18:19] Sakuna**
considered her feelings,
took advantage of my status,
**[18:23] Sakuna**
and screwed around
despite being by her side.
**[18:26] Sakuna**
If I'd been more considerate,
this wouldn't have happened.
**[18:31] Kokorowa**
Sakuna...
**[18:32] Sakuna**
Please place all the blame on me and allow
Princess Kokorowa to retain all her duties.
**[18:41] Sakuna**
Please!
**[18:43] Kamuhitsuki**
I see. In that case, Princess Sakuna...
**[18:48] Kamuhitsuki**
You will be banished forever and never
be able to return to the capital again.
**[18:53] Kamuhitsuki**
Are you all right with that?
**[18:55] Sakuna**
What?
**[18:56] Kamuhitsuki**
I will never allow you to return.
**[19:00] Kamuhitsuki**
I'm asking if you're
all right with that.
**[19:02] Sakuna**
Uh, well...
**[19:05] Kamuhitsuki**
What will you do?
**[19:13] Sakuna**
I understand, Your Majesty.
**[19:15] Kokorowa**
Sakuna...
**[19:17] Tama**
Lady Kamuhitsuki! Forgive me,
but this is too much!
**[19:21] Kamuhitsuki**
I have made my judgment. You may leave.
**[19:27] Sakuna**
Kokorowa.
**[19:30] Sakuna**
I'm sorry for everything until now.
**[19:32] Sakuna**
I won't see you again,
but do a good job with your duties.
**[19:37] Sakuna**
I'm glad you told me how you really felt.
**[19:39] Sakuna**
Even if we don't meet again,
I'll still be your friend.
**[19:46] Tama**
Your Highness.
**[19:55] Kokorowa**
Sakuna...
**[20:00] Kamuhitsuki**
What will you do?
**[20:10] Tama**
Your Highness...
**[20:13] Sakuna**
I...
**[20:14] Sakuna**
I can't do it!
**[20:16] Tama**
Stop! It's too late!
**[20:18] Sakuna**
It's for forever!
I'll never get to come back!
**[20:21] Tama**
You're the one who accepted it.
**[20:25] Sakuna**
I can just wear a mask
and sneak back in again.
**[20:28] Tama**
I don't think that will work.
**[20:31] Kokorowa**
Sakuna!
**[20:35] Sakuna**
Kokorowa?
**[20:39] Kokorowa**
Sakuna! Sakuna!
**[20:43] Sakuna**
Huh? Hey!
**[20:54] Kokorowa**
Sakuna!
**[20:56] Sakuna**
What is it?
**[21:00] Kokorowa**
Lady Kamuhitsuki gave me a mission.
**[21:03] Kokorowa**
I'm to travel to the
Isle of Demons with you,
**[21:06] Kokorowa**
find out why the demons
are appearing, and stop them.
**[21:10] Sakuna**
You, too?
**[21:11] Kokorowa**
Yes.
**[21:12] Kokorowa**
And if we successfully complete our mission,
we can freely visit the capital again.
**[21:18] Kokorowa**
Both you and I.
**[21:21] Sakuna**
Really? But your duties...
**[21:25] Kokorowa**
I'll resume them when I return...
**[21:28] Kokorowa**
with you this time.
**[21:33] Sakuna**
Kokorowa...
**[21:40] Kokorowa**
*I was always afraid of you.*
**[21:44] Kokorowa**
* I didn't understand why I felt dwarfed*
* by you, no matter how hard I tried.*
**[21:50] Kokorowa**
* Why you felt so mature*
* despite being so young.*
**[21:56] Kokorowa**
*But now I understand.*
**[22:00] Kokorowa**
* You're a harvest goddess*
* with a heart of gold.*
**[22:06] Kokorowa**
*And my friend who deserves my respect.*
**[22:18] Kokorowa**
This is it?
**[22:20] Sakuna**
Yeah, where my parents once lived.
**[22:24] Sakuna**
Now we cultivate rice together in this pass.
**[22:28] Kinta**
You're...
**[22:32] Kokorowa**
My name is Kokorowa.
**[22:36] Kokorowa**
I am Sakuna's best friend.

**[00:11] Sakuna**
Hup.
**[00:15] Kokorowa**
So this is rice planting?
**[00:17] Tama**
Indeed it is.
**[00:19] Tama**
The seedlings we grow are
carefully planted one by one.
**[00:24] Sakuna**
Hey, Kinta.
**[00:26] Sakuna**
It's crooked.
**[00:27] Kinta**
What are you talking about?
**[00:29] Kinta**
Yours are crooked.
**[00:31] Sakuna**
What do you mean? Mine are nice and...
**[00:39] Tama**
As you can see,
**[00:41] Tama**
planting the seedlings the
right distance apart is difficult.
**[00:46] Kokorowa**
I see.
**[01:01] Myrthe**
This is much easier.
**[01:03] Yui**
We know exactly where to plant.
**[01:08] Sakuna**
What a beautiful field.
**[01:10] Kinta**
She's not the goddess
of invention for nothing.
**[01:13] Kinta**
Nothing like the goddess who lounges around
despite calling herself a harvest goddess.
**[01:18] Sakuna**
You didn't have to say that last part.
**[01:22] Yui**
We appreciate your continued support,
Princess Kokorowa.
**[01:31] Sakuna**
What was that?
**[01:38] Sakuna**
What's this?
***SIGN*** Episode 9
The One Who Controls the Demons
**[03:11] Sakuna**
Absolutely not! Demons are demons!
**[03:14] Tama**
Her Highness is correct.
**[03:17] Tama**
Demons are demons because
they are wicked and evil.
**[03:21] Tama**
There's no telling what might happen
later if we don't finish it off now.
**[03:25] Tauemon**
But what could it possibly do
when it's so badly injured?
**[03:30] Sakuna**
You've butchered and eaten
plenty of demon rabbits before now.
**[03:36] Tauemon**
You're not wrong, but...
**[03:41] Myrthe**
I will bring medicine.
**[03:43] Sakuna**
Myrthe.
**[03:45] Myrthe**
I think you are right,
but I cannot do nothing.
**[03:57] Yui**
Just look at these wounds.
**[04:00] Tauemon**
They seem to have been inflicted by a blade.
**[04:03] Tauemon**
Perhaps it was driven away
after a falling out.
**[04:06] Yui**
If it was driven away, that means
it's different from ordinary demons.
**[04:11] Yui**
Please. Say something, Kinta.
**[04:18] Yui**
Kinta?
**[04:20] Myrthe**
I made medicine.
**[04:24] Kinta**
We should kill it.
**[04:26] Yui**
Kinta...
**[04:28] Kinta**
Don't be naive.
**[04:30] Kinta**
What if it heals and attacks someone?
**[04:34] Myrthe**
Well...
**[04:36] Tauemon**
Kinta is right, but
if we kill it so it can't kill us,
**[04:44] Tauemon**
then we're no different from Ishimaru.
**[04:48] Kinta**
But...
**[04:53] Sakuna**
We'll kick it out as soon as it can walk.
**[04:56] Sakuna**
It can stay until then.
**[04:58] Yui**
Goddess...
**[05:03] Yui**
Yeah.
**[05:04] Yui**
We'll go thank her later.
**[05:13] Sakuna**
Honestly, they're all so demanding.
**[05:19] Sakuna**
Kokorowa.
**[05:20] Kokorowa**
I'm surprised.
**[05:23] Sakuna**
About what?
**[05:24] Kokorowa**
I doubt you would've heeded
the requests of humans before.
**[05:30] Sakuna**
It can't be helped.
**[05:33] Sakuna**
I had to say that to settle the matter.
**[05:35] Sakuna**
Honestly, they require
so much looking after.
**[05:40] Kokorowa**
Do they?
**[05:44] Sakuna**
Since coming to this island,
**[05:46] Sakuna**
I've done all the hunting,
exploring, and rice cultivating myself.
**[05:51] Sakuna**
I was at my wit's end.
**[05:54] Kokorowa**
All by yourself?
**[05:56] Sakuna**
Well...
**[05:59] Sakuna**
Tauemon may be clumsy, but he reads
that book so we can make better rice.
**[06:05] Sakuna**
Myrthe has done her best to learn
to cook unfamiliar Yanato dishes.
**[06:09] Sakuna**
Yui and Kinta are still
foul-mouthed children,
**[06:12] Sakuna**
but despite how they seem,
they're dexterous.
**[06:15] Sakuna**
They've made farming tools and clothes.
**[06:18] Sakuna**
Kaimaru is young, but he's doing his best.
**[06:22] Sakuna**
They stumbled into the Lofty Realm,
but none of them have given up.
**[06:28] Sakuna**
Not a single one of them is bad at heart.
**[06:35] Kokorowa**
What's this?
**[06:36] Sakuna**
A senbakoki.
**[06:38] Sakuna**
It's for removing the
unhulled rice from the plant.
**[06:42] Kokorowa**
I see.
**[06:47] Kokorowa**
What is that?
**[06:48] Sakuna**
Don't worry about it.
**[06:49] Sakuna**
It happens all the time on this island.
**[06:52] Sakuna**
Though, lately, I feel like it's
been happening too frequently.
**[07:02] Sakuna**
Okay. Let's go down to the field below.
**[07:08] Sakuna**
Tama? What's the matter?
**[07:11] Tama**
Your Highness...
**[07:12] Tama**
I was just wondering why
that demon wandered in here.
**[07:17] Kokorowa**
What do you mean?
**[07:20] Tama**
Lord Takeribi's illusion magic
is cast over the entire pass.
**[07:26] Tama**
Normally, a demon shouldn't be
able to wander in here so easily.
**[07:31] Kokorowa**
In other words, the spell is weakening?
**[07:34] Tama**
I considered that possibility,
**[07:37] Tama**
but I believe it's not that
the spell is getting weaker.
**[07:40] Tama**
It's the evil energy
that's getting stronger.
**[07:43] Sakuna**
Then demons will show up here eventually.
**[07:46] Tama**
If the evil energy continues
to get stronger...
**[07:50] Kokorowa**
But if the evil energy is getting stronger,
**[07:54] Kokorowa**
doesn't that make it easier
to find the source?
**[07:58] Kokorowa**
Isn't it easier to determine
where the demons are coming from
**[08:04] Kokorowa**
and where the center of it is now?
**[08:07] Sakuna**
You're right.
**[08:08] Tama**
So we should use this
opportunity to strike first.
**[08:12] Tama**
That may not be a bad idea.
**[08:22] Sakuna**
Looks like we can track it.
**[08:25] Sakuna**
Kinta.
**[08:26] Kinta**
Huh?
**[08:27] Sakuna**
I'm telling you this because
I see you as an adult.
**[08:31] Sakuna**
Keep an eye on the demon.
**[08:33] Sakuna**
If it does anything suspicious,
kill it right away.
**[08:38] Kinta**
Got it.
**[08:46] Kokorowa**
Thank you for waiting.
**[08:49] Sakuna**
Where did you get that?
**[08:52] Kokorowa**
Lady Kamuhitsuki allowed me to bring it.
**[08:56] Kokorowa**
Let's go.
**[08:59] Sakuna**
Do you think I could ride
on its other shoulder?
**[09:04] Tama**
It's important to walk
on your own two legs.
**[09:09] Sakuna**
Says the guy who floats around!
**[09:18] Sakuna**
It's this way.
**[09:19] Tama**
That's not where the Homusubi
Specter's volcano was.
**[09:25] Kokorowa**
Let's go.
**[09:50] Tama**
This place...
**[09:52] Sakuna**
Ashigumo.
**[09:55] Ashigumo**
What is it?
**[09:58] Ashigumo**
Who are you?
**[09:59] Kokorowa**
My name is Kokorowa.
**[10:03] Tama**
We followed the scent of a demon
who wandered into the pass here.
**[10:12] Kokorowa**
Look.
**[10:14] Kokorowa**
That's the only place
the mist isn't moving.
**[10:17] Kokorowa**
It's frozen in place.
**[10:26] Sakuna**
This must be it.
**[10:32] Sakuna**
Mother...
**[10:37] Tama**
The mist...
**[10:42] Ashigumo**
There's a castle here?
**[10:44] Tama**
It was hidden by a barrier, like our pass.
**[10:50] Sakuna**
But do demons know how to do that?
**[10:53] Tama**
There must be someone leading the demons.
**[10:57] Tama**
They probably grew the number of demons
on the island and attacked the Ashigumo.
**[11:08] Sakuna**
What is it?
**[11:10] Ashigumo**
We're surrounded.
**[11:18] Sakuna**
So many...
**[11:19] Ashigumo**
It's an ambush.
**[11:20] Ashigumo**
Looks like they knew we would come here.
**[11:23] Sakuna**
Here?
**[11:26] Tama**
That injured demon rabbit...
**[11:28] Tama**
Was it bait to lure you here?
**[11:38] Sakuna**
Kokorowa, stay here.
**[11:39] Sakuna**
Ashigumo, let's go.
**[11:41] Ashigumo**
Got it.
**[11:42] Kokorowa**
Automaton!
**[11:51] Sakuna**
What's this?
**[11:52] Kokorowa**
Have you forgotten?
**[11:54] Kokorowa**
Lady Kamuhitsuki gave me a mission, too.
**[11:59] Kokorowa**
The same as yours.
**[12:02] Sakuna**
Kokorowa...
**[12:07] Sakuna**
Ashigumo!
**[12:08] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[12:09] Sakuna**
What?
**[12:10] Tama**
This trap, the demon rabbit...
**[12:13] Tama**
I'm worried about the pass.
**[12:15] Sakuna**
But...
**[12:16] Kokorowa**
I'll go to the pass.
**[12:19] Sakuna**
Kokorowa... Will you be
all right on your own?
**[12:21] Kokorowa**
I've worked just as hard as you.
**[12:25] Kokorowa**
Don't worry about me.
**[12:30] Kokorowa**
Be careful.

**[12:49] Sakuna**
What is this?
**[12:56] Sakuna**
Ashigumo.
**[12:58] Ashigumo**
That's an unbelievable number
of demons, even more than before.
**[13:01] Ashigumo**
The demons' leader is definitely in there.
**[13:09] Sakuna**
I'll handle this!
**[13:24] Sakuna**
Let's go.
**[13:27] Sakuna**
It's in here, huh?
**[13:32] Sakuna**
What is that?
**[13:45] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[13:54] Sakuna**
You...
**[14:02] Kokorowa/Id**
*Didn't I tell you?*
**[14:04] Kokorowa/Id**
*I don't want to lose to you.*
**[14:08] Sakuna**
Kokorowa...
**[14:23] Ashigumo**
Hurry!
**[14:34] Sakuna**
There's nothing here.
**[14:36] Sakuna**
That can't be possible, right?
**[14:42] Sakuna**
What?
**[14:43] Tomo**
The Homusubi Specter...
**[14:45] Sakuna**
But it sank into a sea of fire!
**[14:48] Tama**
The Homusubi Specter
**[14:50] Tama**
uses flames of undeath to weave
the hatred of the dead into new deaths.
**[14:54] Tama**
It must've been drawn to the powerful
evil energies here and reappeared.
**[15:00] Homusubi**
Hate... hate...
**[15:07] Ashigumo**
I'll handle this.
**[15:08] Sakuna**
Ashigumo.
**[15:10] Ashigumo**
Its hatred was originally the grudges
of the Ashigumo slain by demons.
**[15:16] Ashigumo**
I remained on the island to put that to rest.
**[15:22] Sakuna**
You're going to fight it alone?
**[15:30] Ashigumo**
It's time to end this.
**[15:33] Tama**
Your Highness.
**[15:41] Sakuna**
Who is that?
**[15:45] Sakuna**
Is he asleep?
**[15:47] Tama**
The evil energy is so strong,
my beard is bristling!
**[15:54] Ishimaru**
That voice...
**[15:55] Ishimaru**
I was wondering who you were.
**[15:58] Ishimaru**
You're the brat I met on the bridge.
**[16:02] Sakuna**
You're...
**[16:04] Sakuna**
You're the man I kicked off the bridge.
**[16:09] Ishimaru**
It's been a while.
**[16:12] Sakuna**
You've amassed a lot of energy
since I last saw you.
**[16:17] Ishimaru**
Well, yeah.
**[16:18] Ishimaru**
I arrived on the island long before you.
**[16:22] Sakuna**
What do you mean?
**[16:23] Sakuna**
What are you even doing here?
**[16:28] Ishimaru**
What happened to that fool Katsura?
**[16:31] Ishimaru**
Is he dead?
**[16:33] Tama**
Before us?
**[16:35] Tama**
The Bridge of Heaven!
**[16:38] Sakuna**
What do you mean?
**[16:39] Tama**
The Bridge of Heaven was created
by the first Lady Kamuhitsuki
**[16:43] Tama**
to connect various times and places.
**[16:46] Tama**
The mist around it
has no defined time or place.
**[16:50] Tama**
It is undefined and
the foundation of both worlds.
**[16:55] Sakuna**
So, by entering it, he came
to this island in the distant past.
**[17:01] Ishimaru**
Many years have passed
since I first came to this island.
**[17:07] Ishimuar**
I had more than enough time
to hone my skills.
**[17:11] Sakuna**
Why didn't you attack us
when you learned we came to the island?
**[17:16] Ishimaru**
I've had my hands full with other things.
**[17:19] Ishimaru**
Besides, killing you isn't my goal.
**[17:23] Ishimaru**
It's destroying both the Lofty Realm
and the Lowly Realm with him.
**[17:30] Tama**
Him?
**[17:34] Tama**
He's coming.
**[17:39] Ishimaru**
You'll pay for what you did
to me on that bridge!
**[17:42] Ishimaru**
Then I'll kill Katsura,
that woman, and the kids!
**[17:52] Ishimaru**
You think you can cut me with that?
**[18:13] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[18:15] Sakuna**
Don't worry.
**[18:16] Sakuna**
Ashigumo and Kokorowa let me
conserve my strength.
**[18:22] Sakuna**
Kinta and Yui made tools for me.
**[18:29] Sakuna**
Myrthe cooked the rice that
granted me even more power.
**[18:33] Sakuna**
I won't lose!
**[18:37] Ishimaru**
Why, you...!
**[18:55] Sakuna**
Take this!
**[19:05] Tama**
Your Highness, finish him.
**[19:07] Sakuna**
Finish him?
**[19:08] Tama**
As long as he's around, the demons
will band together and attack again.
**[19:15] Tama**
You must end it.
**[19:26] Sakuna**
Leave this place.
**[19:27] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[19:29] Sakuna**
Remember what Tauemon said?
**[19:32] Sakuna**
If we kill him simply so he can't
kill us, we're no different.
**[19:38] Ishimaru**
Katsura, huh?
**[19:41] Ishimaru**
What an annoying bastard.
**[19:45] Sakuna**
Sounds like you share
a deep connection with Tauemon.
**[19:49] Sakuna**
You may not be able to right away,
**[19:51] Sakuna**
but someday you should have
a heart-to-heart.
**[19:55] Ishimaru**
You're naive.
**[19:56] Ishimaru**
I'd rather slice his throat open.
**[20:02] Sakuna**
What was that?
**[20:03] Tama**
Look
**[20:08] Sakuna**
The mountain is burning...
**[20:14] Ishimaru**
It's begun.
**[20:16] Ishimaru**
I'm sure you've heard of him.
**[20:19] Ishimaru**
The evil god Omizuchi has awakened!
**[20:22] Sakuna**
Omizuchi?
**[20:24] Tama**
Impossible!
**[20:25] Tama**
Lord Takeribi defeated Omizuchi with me,
the Blade of Hoshidama.
**[20:30] Ishimaru**
He was once defeated by the gods
of the capital and the Ashigumo,
**[20:37] Ishimaru**
but he's not dead.
**[20:40] Ishimaru**
He's been biding his
time deep within the land.
**[21:00] Ishimaru**
When I arrived on the island,
**[21:03] Ishimaru**
I was drawn to his evil
energy and encountered him.
**[21:07] Ishimaru**
Uncontrollable hatred and rage...
**[21:11] Ishimaru**
He smelled just like me.
**[21:16] Ishimaru**
In exchange for healing his wounds,
I was given this demonic power
**[21:22] Ishimaru**
so we could destroy the Lofty Realm
and invade the Lowly Realm.
**[21:28] Sakuna**
You bastard...
**[21:29] Ishimaru**
Tell Katsura that you'll
regret your naivety.
**[21:36] Sakuna**
Hey, wait!
**[21:43] Sakuna**
Damn him.
**[21:45] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[21:48] Sakuna**
The island...
**[21:50] Tama**
I see flames in the pass, too.
**[21:54] Tama**
We should return for now.
**[22:07] Sakuna**
What is this?
**[22:08] Tama**
Your Highness, look at this.
**[22:11] Sakuna**
They're demon footprints.
**[22:12] Tama**
A lot of them, too.
**[22:15] Tama**
Perhaps that demon rabbit guided them here.
**[22:19] Sakuna**
Kokorowa!
**[22:20] Sakuna**
Tauemon! Kinta! Yui!
**[22:23] Sakuna**
Myrthe! Kaimaru!

**[00:09] Sakuna**
What is this?
**[00:11] Sakuna**
How did this happen?
**[00:13] Tama**
A horde of demons must've invaded the pass
now that the barrier has weakened.
**[00:19] Sakuna**
Where are the others?
**[00:21] Sakuna**
Hey, Kokorowa! Tauemon! Kinta!
**[00:25] Sakuna**
Where are you? Answer me!

Let's have dinner!
I have stories to tell you today!

Sakuna.
**[00:56] Sakuna**
Tauemon.

Comeback
**[02:39] Myrthe**
Sakuna.
**[02:40] Yui**
You're all right.
**[02:44] Sakuna**
So this is where you've been hiding.
**[02:47] Tauemon**
A horde of demons attacked
during the eruption.
**[02:51] Sakuna**
So that's what happened.
**[02:53] Sakuna**
In any case, I'm glad
everyone's all right.
**[02:56] Tauemon**
But the house and the field
you worked so hard to grow...
**[03:02] Kinta**
It's my fault.
**[03:04] Sakuna**
Kinta...
**[03:05] Kinta**
That injured demon rabbit led them here.
**[03:10] Kinta**
You told me to kill it
if it tried anything, but I...
**[03:21] Yui**
It's my fault. I asked you to spare it.
**[03:26] Myrthe**
It is not your fault, Kinta.
**[03:28] Myrthe**
We are being tested by God.
**[03:30] Myrthe**
By overcoming this together—
**[03:32] Kinta**
Overcoming this? How?
**[03:35] Kinta**
Our home, the shed... everything's
been burned to the ground.
**[03:39] Kinta**
The rain and ash have made
the fields useless, too.
**[03:42] Kinta**
We have nothing! There's nothing left!
**[03:49] Yui**
Kinta...
**[03:54] Myrthe**
Kaimaru, do not rub your eyes.
**[04:01] Sakuna**
Where's Kokorowa?
**[04:03] Myrthe**
Wasn't she with you?
**[04:08] Sakuna**
I see...
**[04:12] Tama**
Your Highness.
**[04:14] Sakuna**
I'm going to the outhouse.
**[04:22] Sakuna**
The outhouse burned down, too.
**[04:25] Sakuna**
Of course it did.
**[05:16] Sakuna**
No... no...
**[05:23] Sakuna/Id**
*I've had enough!*
**[05:25] Sakuna/Id**
*Nothing good will come from staying here!*
**[05:29] Sakuna/Id**
*Now that this has happened,*
**[05:31] Sakuna/Id**
* I'm sure Lady Kamuhitsuki will allow*
* me to return to the capital!*
**[05:38] Sakuna/Id**
*I'm going home!*
**[05:39] Sakuna/Id**
* I'm going home and living*
* in the capital like I used to!*
**[05:43] Sakuna/Id**
*I'll play, drink, and sleep.*
**[05:47] (Flashback) Sakuna**
I've had enough!
**[05:49] (Flashback) Sakuna**
Everyone's ganging up on me
to make me suffer!
**[05:54] Sakuna**
But that would be no
different from back then.
**[06:01] Sakuna**
No different at all.
**[06:14] Tama**
Your Highness.
**[06:16] Sakuna**
Tama.
**[06:18] Tama**
I tell you this as the Blade of Hoshidama
that served Lord Takeribi.
**[06:23] Tama**
You are the daughter of Lady Toyohana the
harvest goddess and Lord Takeribi the war god.
**[06:29] Tama**
You are an important god.
**[06:32] Tama**
Now that Princess Kokorowa's safety is
uncertain and Omizuchi may have returned,
**[06:37] Tama**
your life must not be lost as well.
**[06:42] Tama**
I humbly request
that you flee to the capital.
**[06:47] Sakuna**
The capital...
**[06:49] Tama**
Yes.
**[06:58] Sakuna**
I love the others.
**[07:03] Sakuna**
I love the days I spent on this island.
**[07:08] Tama**
Your Highness, what are you doing?
**[07:12] Tama**
W-Wait!
**[07:15] Sakuna**
We'll cover the fields with straw mats
to protect them from the ash.
**[07:18] Sakuna**
It'll take some time,
but they can be restored.
**[07:21] Tama**
But...
**[07:23] Sakuna**
We can gather wood
to rebuild the house, too.
**[07:26] Sakuna**
The rice we had stored is lost,
but we survived without any at first.
**[07:32] Tama**
Your Highness...
**[07:33] Sakuna**
I'll do something about Omizuchi, too.
**[07:36] Sakuna**
I've defeated plenty of demons until now.
**[07:39] Sakuna**
With the power of Divine Raiment
and farming tools—
**[07:40] Tama**
You can't accomplish all of that alone!
**[07:43] Sakuna**
I'm not alone! I have the others!
**[07:48] Sakuna**
We're all different now.
**[07:51] Sakuna**
The people who despaired at our circumstances
and blamed others for everything
**[07:58] Sakuna**
are gone now.
**[08:05] Tama**
What is that?
**[08:06] Sakuna**
Huh?
**[08:10] Sakuna**
What?
**[08:20] Kokorowa**
Oh, excuse me.
**[08:23] Sakuna**
Kokorowa!
**[08:25] Kokorowa**
Sakuna.
**[08:27] Sakuna**
Kokorowa! Kokorowa!
**[08:39] Tauemon**
Princess Kokorowa.
**[08:41] Kokorowa**
I'm glad everyone is all right.
**[08:44] Sakuna**
Apparently, she returned
to find everyone, but...
**[08:49] Sakuna**
Sensing danger, she fled
to the ship offshore.
**[08:54] Tauemon**
Forgive us for making you worry.
**[08:58] Sakuna**
So, we have something to tell you.
**[09:00] Kinta**
Can we say something first?
**[09:04] Kinta**
We talked about it while you were gone,
**[09:08] Kinta**
but why don't we start over?
**[09:12] Tauemon**
We know it won't happen
overnight, of course.
**[09:17] Yui**
I'll do my best to help with manual labor.
**[09:20] Myrthe**
I will gather lots of mushrooms.
**[09:26] Tama**
As a god, you can't let them show you up.
**[09:29] Sakuna**
I know.
**[09:31] Kinta**
So, what were you going to say?
**[09:33] Sakuna**
You already said it.
**[09:37] Kinta**
Huh?
**[09:38] Sakuna**
You're as infuriating as ever.
**[09:42] Kokorowa**
What's this?
**[09:43] Sakuna**
A tekusari dumpling.
**[09:45] Sakuna**
I wouldn't call them delicious, but...
**[09:49] Yui**
We don't have meat or nuts,
but they're better than nothing.
**[09:52] Myrthe**
I like them.
**[09:54] Tauemon**
Just one?
**[09:56] Kinta**
Don't be greedy.
**[09:58] Sakuna**
Okay, everyone. Raise your bowls.
**[10:03] Sakuna**
Let these tekusari dumplings
represent a fresh start.
**[10:08] Sakuna**
With these, we will begin anew.
**[10:12] Sakuna**
We'll grow delicious rice again!
**[10:14] All**
Let's do it!
**[10:32] Kinta**
Yui, help me carry that tree over there.
**[10:36] Yui**
Okay.
**[10:39] Sakuna**
People really do change.
**[10:51] Sakuna**
What was that?
**[10:53] Kokorowa**
Is something the matter?
**[10:55] Sakuna**
No.
**[10:59] Sakuna**
It's sticky, and there
isn't much fertilizer left.
**[11:04] Sakuna**
It must be because of the ash and rain.
**[11:06] Kokorowa**
Would it be possible to remove
only the ash from the soil?
**[11:11] Sakuna**
Not when it's so mixed together.
**[11:13] Kokorowa**
In other words, the ash
dissolved into the water.
**[11:18] Kokorowa**
If we fill the fields
with water and till them,
**[11:21] Kokorowa**
the heavy dirt may sink while
the ash is washed away with the water.
**[11:25] Sakuna**
You're so smart!
**[11:33] Sakuna**
It's looking a lot better.
**[11:35] Kokorowa**
But it's still not completely back
to how it was before.
**[11:40] Kokorowa**
However...
**[11:41] Kokorowa**
Yanato has many volcanoes.
**[11:45] Kokorowa**
This has surely happened many times before.
**[11:49] Kokorowa**
And yet, crops have been grown successfully.
**[11:51] Sakuna**
You're right.
**[11:54] Kokorowa**
I will think about it.
**[11:57] Kokorowa**
Perhaps the soil has
self-cleaning properties.
**[12:02] Myrthe**
Have you seen Kaimaru?
**[12:04] Sakuna**
No. Is he missing?
**[12:06] Myrthe**
Yes.
**[12:12] Myrthe**
Kaimaru.
**[12:15] Ashigumo**
Be careful.
**[12:16] Ashigumo**
The evil energy may have weakened,
**[12:19] Ashigumo**
but you mustn't let your
guard down even in this pass.
**[12:25] Tauemon**
So Ishimaru was leading the demons?
**[12:28] Sakuna**
Yes. I'm sorry.
**[12:31] Sakuna**
With everything that happened,
I forgot to tell you.
**[12:35] Tauemon**
It's fine.
**[12:36] Ashigumo**
That human, huh? I saw him, too.
**[12:42] Ashigumo**
As though drawn to his evil energy...
**[12:45] (Flashback) Homusubi**
Hate... hate... hate!
**[12:51] Ashigumo**
When it said “hate,”
**[12:54] Ashigumo**
I thought they were the words
of the slain Ashigumo, but perhaps...
**[13:01] Sakuna**
It could be Ishimaru's hatred as well.
**[13:04] Sakuna**
I hope he mends his ways a little.
**[13:08] Tauemon**
That would be nice, but...
**[13:11] Tama**
You don't think
that's possible? Why not?
**[13:14] Tauemon**
Well...
**[13:17] Tauemon**
His family was killed by bandits.
**[13:23] Tauemon**
He became the thing he hated most.
**[13:28] Tauemon**
Because of that,
**[13:29] Tauemon**
he despises bandits like my former
leader who refuse to steal from the weak.
**[13:36] Sakuna**
So he's trying to become
the thing he hates most on purpose.
**[13:40] Tauemon**
Perhaps it's his way
of making things right.
**[13:45] Tauemon**
If I had to guess what he's
thinking now, it's probably...
**[13:49] Tauemon**
“I'll make you regret not killing me
when you had the chance.”
**[13:58] Sakuna**
What a sad man.
**[14:03] Kokorowa**
Sakuna.
**[14:05] Sakuna**
What is it?
**[14:06] Kokorowa**
To the capital.
**[14:07] Kokorowa**
Let's go to the capital.
***SIGN*** The Battle Against Nature
Rice has been grown while battling against natural threats
including typhoons, heavy rains, droughts, cold weather,
and volcanic eruptions. Damage can be minimized by
controlling flooding using engineering works, innovating
cultivation techniques, and selecting species according
to the climate. Meanwhile, volcanic ash becomes
nutrient-rich soil over time and is linked to the creation
of fertile soil. It can be said that people have
battled against and utilized nature. The volcano of Hinoe
(later know as Crimson Blaze Mountain) has an elevation
of 1,500 meters.

**[14:20] Kamuhitsuki**
Princess Sakuna, Princess Kokorowa.
**[14:23] Kamuhitsuki**
I understand you desire
the Orb of Transformation.
**[14:26] Both**
Yes, Your Majesty.
**[14:28] Sakuna**
Do we?
**[14:30] Kokorowa**
Keep your head down and be quiet.
**[14:33] Kamuhitsuki**
Growing on the branches of the Tree of Creation
that produced me and sustains the capital,
**[14:38] Kamuhitsuki**
it is a fruit that controls
the flow of time.
**[14:41] Kamuhitsuki**
What do you intend to use it for?
**[14:44] Sakuna**
Well, uh...
**[14:45] Kokorowa**
To make rice.
**[14:47] Kamuhitsuki**
Rice?
**[14:48] Kokorowa**
We will use it to advance time
and strengthen the soil.
**[14:53] Kokorowa**
We need it to cultivate good rice.
**[14:58] Kamuhitsuki**
I see.
**[15:01] Sakuna**
You could've let me know beforehand.
**[15:04] Kokorowa**
Forgive me.
**[15:05] Kokorowa**
I forgot to speak because
I was deep in thought.
**[15:13] Kokorowa**
Here we are.
**[15:15] Sakuna**
The Orb of Transformation is in there?
**[15:18] Kokorowa**
Lady Kamuhitsuki has granted
us permission to enter.
**[15:22] Kokorowa**
Let's go.
**[15:26] Sakuna**
What a thick forest.
**[15:34] Kokorowa**
There it is.
**[15:38] Sakuna**
So that's...
**[15:40] Kokorowa**
The only branch on which
the Orb of Transformation grows.
**[15:43] Kokorowa**
I thought finding it would be harder.
**[15:47] Sakuna**
Lady Kamuhitsuki said we could
keep it if we could get it,
**[15:51] Sakuna**
but this should be easy.
**[15:56] Sakuna**
Are these aphids?
**[15:59] Sakuna**
Their goofy faces make me
want to punch them.
**[16:10] Sakuna**
My arms feel weak.
**[16:13] Kokorowa**
It would seem Lady Kamuhitsuki discreetly
used us to dispose of some pests.
**[16:21] Sakuna**
They've made a lot of progress
in few days we were gone.
**[16:27] Tauemon**
Sakuna, Kokorowa.
**[16:29] Myrthe**
Welcome back.
**[16:30] Sakuna**
Hey.
**[16:32] Tauemon**
So this is the Orb of Transformation?
**[16:36] Myrthe**
Unbelievable.
**[16:38] Myrthe**
Is that not the Amal Stone?
**[16:41] Sakuna**
The Amal Stone? What's that?
**[16:44] Myrthe**
The Formos missionaries stopped
by a nation called Dharka.
**[16:50] Myrthe**
It is a precious red fruit
that grows on a sacred tree.
**[16:55] Sakuna**
A precious red fruit
that grows on a sacred tree...
**[16:58] Kokorowa**
Perhaps they are connected somehow.
**[17:01] Tauemon**
So, what will you do with it?
**[17:04] Kokorowa**
The key is to advance time for the soil.
**[17:09] Kokorowa**
By mixing the crushed fruit into water
and pouring it into the field...
**[17:24] Sakuna**
It seems a little better than before.
**[17:27] Kokorowa**
It will take some time,
but by next spring...
**[17:32] Kokorowa**
Let's pour some into
the field below as well.
**[17:34] Tauemon**
With this, it'll be just like before.
**[17:36] Kinta**
It won't be that easy.
**[17:38] Kinta**
We haven't solved the volcano
or demon problems.
**[17:42] Yui**
The other day, I saw some demons nearby.
**[17:45] Yui**
I ran back in a hurry, but...
**[17:48] Tama**
They're right.
**[17:49] Tama**
The evil energy may have weakened,
but the same thing could happen again.
**[18:03] Sakuna**
Tama.
**[18:04] Tama**
What is it?
**[18:07] Sakuna**
The evil god Omizuchi...
**[18:09] Sakuna**
That's the source
of the evil energy, right?
**[18:12] Sakuna**
And the reason for the increase in demons.
**[18:14] Tama**
Most likely, yes.
**[18:16] Sakuna**
You fought Omizuchi with my father before.
**[18:21] Sakuna**
Do you think I could defeat Omizuchi?
**[18:27] Tama**
Your mind and body have gotten stronger,
**[18:30] Tama**
but Lord Takeribi struggled against him
even with the Blade of Hoshidama.
**[18:36] Tama**
Now that the blade has been lost...
**[18:40] Sakuna**
I see.
**[18:44] Myrthe**
Kaimaru? Kaimaru?
**[18:47] Tauemon**
Kaimaru!
**[18:50] Sakuna**
Kaimaru!
**[18:51] Yui**
Say something!
**[18:54] Kinta**
Kaimaru!
**[18:56] Myrthe**
Have you seen him?
**[19:00] Myrthe**
Kaimaru!
**[19:01] Sakuna**
Come to think of it,
last time he disappeared,
**[19:04] Sakuna**
Ashigumo brought him back.
**[19:08] Sakuna**
Over there?
**[19:10] Ashigumo**
Yes. There's a cave up ahead.
**[19:13] Ashigumo**
Perhaps he's gone there.
**[19:17] Sakuna**
The rest of you, go back to the pass.
**[19:19] Sakuna**
Tauemon and I will go check it out.
**[19:22] Tauemon**
This must be it.
**[19:26] Sakuna**
Kaimaru!
**[19:30] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[19:34] Sakuna**
That's...
**[19:38] Sakuna**
What is the meaning of this?
**[19:40] Sakuna**
Kaimaru, have you forgotten what
that thing did to us?
**[19:45] Sakuna**
Move!
**[19:46] Sakuna**
I said move!
**[19:48] Sakuna**
We lost our home because of him!
**[19:53] Sakuna**
Someone could've died, but you...
**[19:57] Sakuna**
I told you to move!
**[19:59] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[20:01] Tauemon**
Sakuna...
**[20:02] Sakuna**
Cowering won't save you now. Say it.
**[20:06] Sakuna**
Confess what you did.
**[20:11] (Flashback) Ishimaru**
Hate...
**[20:14] (Flashback) Ishimaru**
Hate... hate... hate...
**[20:20] Sakuna**
If not for you...
**[20:22] Sakuna**
If we hadn't saved you then,
this never would've happened!
**[20:28] (Flashback) Ishimaru**
Hate...
**[20:31] Ishimaru**
*Hate...*
**[20:34] Ishimaru**
*Hate... hate...*
**[20:38] Ishimaru**
*Hate!*
**[20:58] Sakuna**
Eat this.
**[21:01] Tauemon**
Sakuna...
**[21:03] Sakuna**
Even if you couldn't defy Ishimaru
or the other demons,
**[21:07] Sakuna**
what you did is unforgivable,
**[21:11] Sakuna**
but...
**[21:12] Sakuna**
I don't want to hate you.
**[21:24] Sakuna**
If you're carrying a burden
right now, set it down.
**[21:30] Sakuna**
I won't hate you anymore. I forgive you.
**[21:37] Sakuna**
So try living a little more.
**[21:56] Kaimaru**
Thank you.
**[22:02] Sakuna**
Kaimaru, did you just...?
**[22:09] Sakuna**
What?
**[22:11] Ishimaru**
Hey, Katsura.
**[22:13] Ishimaru**
It's good to see your face again.
**[22:17] Tauemon**
Ishimaru...
**[22:20] Ishimaru**
The more I look at your face,
the more hate I feel.
**[22:27] Ishimaru**
It makes me want to kill you all over again.

Ishimaru...
**[00:02] Ishimaru**
The more I look at your face,
the more hate I feel.
**[00:08] Ishimaru**
It makes me want to kill you all over again.
**[00:12] Sakuna**
When did he get here?
**[00:16] Tauemon**
Will you allow me to handle this?
**[00:22] Tauemon**
It's been a while.
**[00:25] Ishimaru**
I'll admit I'm impressed
you've lived this long.
**[00:29] Ishimaru**
It sounds like you were
growing some good rice, too.
**[00:33] Tauemon**
You understand, don't you?
**[00:35] Tauemon**
Eating is the most
important factor of survival.
**[00:38] Tauemon**
If you want some of our rice, then—
**[00:44] Ishimaru**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[00:46] Ishimaru**
"A samurai uses a toothpick even
when he's got nothing to eat."
**[00:49] Ishimaru**
I won't suck up to someone just for food.
**[00:54] Tauemon**
But... but you're not a samurai!

Where did they go?
**[02:34] (Flashback) Man B**
Find them! Kill all the bandits!
**[02:39] (Flashback) Ishimaru**
Damn. I'll kill them first.
**[02:42] (Flashback) Tauemon**
Don't.
**[02:43] (Flashback) Ishimaru**
You're too soft!
**[02:45] (Flashback) Ishimaru**
It's kill or be killed.
**[02:46] (Flashback) Ishimaru**
For us to live, we have to kill them!
**[02:48] (Flashback) Tauemon**
Isn't it important to flee sometimes
because our world works that way?
**[02:54] (Flashback) Tauemon**
In order to live...
**[02:58] (Flashback) Tauemon**
At times it seems to me like
you're in a hurry to die.
**[03:05] (Flashback) Tauemon**
What did you do before becoming a bandit?
**[03:11] (Flashback) Tauemon**
A farmer?
**[03:12] (Flashback) Tauemon**
No, based on your appearance,
perhaps a fisherman.
**[03:17] (Flashback) Tauemon**
Perhaps a carpenter.
**[03:18] (Flashback) Tauemon**
No, a stonemason.
**[03:20] (Flashback) Ishimaru**
Shut up! I hate you samurai!
**[03:24] (Flashback) Ishimaru**
Because you won't stop fighting,
our world has turned into this hell!
**[03:29] (Flashback) Tauemon**
Perhaps you're right.
**[03:32] (Flashback) Tauemon**
Not only that,
**[03:33] (Flashback) Tauemon**
but I'm a samurai who became a bandit
because I couldn't draw my sword in battle.
**[03:39] (Flashback) Tauemon**
I have no reason left to live.
**[03:41] (Flashback) Ishimaru**
Then die. Or shall I kill you instead?
**[03:47] (Flashback) Tauemon**
Perhaps that would be acceptable.
**[03:49] (Flashback) Tauemon**
I've thought countless times
that I should die.
**[03:54] (Flashback) Tauemon**
But for some reason, I want to live.
**[03:56] (Flashback) Tauemon**
If I'm to die,
**[03:58] (Flashback) Tauemon**
I'd like to die thinking
I was glad to live.
**[04:06] Tauemon**
Aren't you the same?
**[04:09] Tauemon**
Aren't you living to find
a reason to be glad you're alive?
**[04:21] Ishimaru**
No. No, I'm not.
**[04:24] Ishimaru**
It's not like that at all.
**[04:27] Ishimaru**
Guys like you disgust me!
**[04:56] Ishimaru**
Do it.
**[04:57] Tauemon**
Ishimaru.
**[04:59] Ishimaru**
Let's go back to being
who we're supposed to be.
**[05:02] Ishimaru**
You're a samurai,
and I'm just a peasant.
**[05:05] Tauemon**
That's not what I'm saying!
**[05:08] Tauemon**
What good will come
from continuing to hate each other?
**[05:11] Tauemon**
Hating me won't quell any
of the rage inside you!
**[05:18] Ishimaru**
I know that already.
**[05:26] Tauemon**
Kaimaru!
**[05:27] Tama**
Oh, no!
**[05:28] Ishimaru**
It's been a while, Kaimaru.
**[05:31] Ishimaru**
Do you remember me?
**[05:32] Ishimaru**
It's me.
**[05:34] Ishimaru**
Ishimaru, the man who killed your father.
**[05:37] Ishimaru**
He was hopelessly stubborn.
**[05:41] Ishimaru**
He refused to steal from the weak.
**[05:44] Ishimaru**
A bandit leader can't be acting like that.
**[05:48] Ishimaru**
Don't worry. I won't kill you.
**[05:51] Ishimaru**
Instead, I'll make you suffer like hell.
**[05:55] Ishimaru**
Being hurt by the man
who killed your own father
**[05:58] Ishimaru**
will plant a hatred in you
that can never be repaid.
**[06:03] Tauemon**
Ishimaru...
**[06:04] Ishimaru**
That's how you're going to live.
**[06:08] Ishimaru**
Carrying a hatred and despair
that never goes away,
**[06:12] Ishimaru**
you'll starve, sleep,
and be unable to die,
**[06:15] Ishimaru**
living only motivated by hatred!
**[06:23] Tama**
What's this?
**[06:29] Ishimaru**
Stop!
**[06:31] Ishimaru**
Stop! Stop talking!
**[06:32] Ishimaru**
Stop talking to me!
**[06:38] Sakuna**
What is this light?
**[06:44] Tama**
He's probably...
**[06:48] Sakuna**
A god?
**[06:50] Kinta**
Kaimaru turned into a god?
**[06:53] Tama**
He didn't become one.
**[06:55] Tama**
Technically, he's becoming one.
**[06:58] Kokorowa**
That's right. There's
divinity growing inside him.
**[07:03] Yui**
Well, that's a surprise.
**[07:05] Kokorowa**
He's not the only one.
**[07:07] Kokorowa**
It's probably true
of the rest of you as well.
**[07:10] Yui**
Us, too?
**[07:12] Myrthe**
Will we become like Sakuna?
**[07:15] Kokorowa**
Yes.
**[07:16] Kokorowa**
Sakuna's mother, Lady Toyohana, was once
a human living in the Lowly Realm.
**[07:22] Kokorowa**
I hear she used her Divine Raiment to come
to the Lofty Realm and become a god.
**[07:26] Kokorowa**
Does that ring any bells?
**[07:29] Kinta**
Come to think of it,
**[07:31] Kinta**
lately my blacksmith's hammer
seems like it's glowing sometimes.
**[07:35] Yui**
Sometimes I feel like my loom is singing.
**[07:39] Myrthe**
I've identified symptoms
that can't be explained by medicine.
**[07:45] Tauemon**
I can eat 20 bowls of rice.
**[07:47] Sakuna**
That's different.
**[07:49] Kokorowa**
In any case, it seems likely
you're developing god-like powers.
**[07:55] Kokorowa**
You should get used to
them so they don't control you.
**[07:59] Kinta**
A god, huh?
**[08:01] Tama**
Depending on what you do next,
**[08:03] Tama**
you could become wonderful
gods like Lady Toyohana, or...
**[08:13] Kinta**
This is just a temporary structure!
**[08:15] Kinta**
It's dangerous in here!
Let's go outside!
**[08:21] Sakuna**
That's a pretty big one.
**[08:23] Tama**
It's been happening every day
since the mountain first spit fire.
**[08:29] Sakuna**
Is it Omizuchi?
**[08:31] Kokorowa**
Why don't we report this
to Lady Kamuhitsuki?
**[08:35] Sakuna**
To Lady Kamuhitsuki?
**[08:36] Kokorowa**
Even Lord Takeribi had trouble
with the evil god Omizuchi.
**[08:40] Kokorowa**
Surely Lady Kamuhitsuki would do something.
**[08:45] Tama**
You're right. However...
**[08:50] Sakuna**
Is there a problem?
**[08:52] Tama**
If Lady Kamuhitsuki goes
to fight, we'll be at war.
**[08:56] Tama**
It would be a major war involving not
just this island, but the capital as well.
**[09:02] Tama**
And if the Lofty Realm falls
into chaos, then eventually...
**[09:05] Sakuna**
There would be even greater
chaos in the Lowly Realm.
**[09:10] Tama**
Indeed.
**[09:12] Tauemon**
Even more chaos?
**[09:14] Yui**
If that happened,
**[09:16] Yui**
no one would be able to live
in the Lowly Realm anymore.
**[09:36] Sakuna**
Kokorowa.
**[09:38] Kokorowa**
You've grown quite skilled
at using your Divine Raiment.
**[09:42] Sakuna**
I've still got a lot to learn.
**[09:44] Sakuna**
If anything, now that we don't have rice,
I'm weaker than before.
**[09:51] Kokorowa**
Do you intend to fight Omizuchi?
**[09:54] Sakuna**
I'd love to defeat him if I could.
**[09:57] Sakuna**
But if I lose, then all will be lost.
**[10:02] Sakuna**
The efforts of my father,
who defeated Omizuchi...
**[10:05] Sakuna**
The efforts of my mother,
who grew rice here...
**[10:08] Sakuna**
The efforts of Ashigumo, the kappa,
and everyone who defended the island...
**[10:15] Kokorowa**
Sakuna...
**[10:17] Sakuna**
My mother left me this Divine Raiment.
**[10:20] Sakuna**
My father left me Tama,
who was the Blade of Hoshidama.
**[10:25] Sakuna**
I inherited heirlooms from
a harvest goddess and a war god,
**[10:29] Sakuna**
but what did I do?
**[10:31] Sakuna**
I distracted myself from
the sadness of my parents' absence
**[10:35] Sakuna**
by playing, drinking,
and sleeping every day.
**[10:38] Sakuna**
If only I'd noticed sooner.
**[10:41] Sakuna**
I had plenty of time to get stronger.
**[10:46] Kokorowa**
Tama and Lady Kamuhitsuki
have always been telling you
**[10:51] Kokorowa**
to mend your ways
and become a great goddess.
**[10:56] Sakuna**
You're right.
**[11:01] Kokorowa**
It was you who taught me there's
no point in regretting the past.
**[11:07] Sakuna**
Kokorowa...
**[11:09] Sakuna**
You're right.
**[11:11] Sakuna**
What's important is to have faith.
**[11:14] Sakuna**
In myself, and the power my parents left me.
**[11:22] Tauemon**
Sakuna...
**[11:23] Sakuna**
What is it? Is it about Ishimaru?
**[11:27] Tauemon**
Is fighting our only option?
**[11:30] Sakuna**
He'll kill us if we show any weakness.
**[11:34] Sakuna**
He showed no sign of holding back.
**[11:37] Tauemon**
"Eat or be eaten. Kill or be killed."
**[11:42] Tauemon**
That's what he used to say.
**[11:48] Tauemon**
Even against the weak, he was merciless.
**[11:52] Tauemon**
It was as though he hated himself and
wanted to create someone who would kill him.
**[11:58] Tauemon**
That's why I don't
want to fight to the death.
**[12:03] Tauemon**
If you wield a sword with hatred,
you're playing into his hands.
**[12:08] Kokorowa**
But I doubt he would listen.
**[12:12] Tauemon**
Just once, he smiled.
**[12:15] Sakuna**
He did?
**[12:17] Tauemon**
It was when Kaimaru first began walking.
**[12:28] (Flashback) Kaimaru**
For you.
**[12:32] (Flashback) Ishimaru**
I don't need any.
**[12:34] Tauemon**
No matter how much it deteriorates,
that spirit is still somewhere inside Ishimaru.
**[12:40] Tauemon**
That's what I want to believe.
**[12:46] Ishimaru**
Damn it!
**[12:47] Ishimaru**
Why am I so angry?
**[12:52] Ishimaru**
What was that voice?
**[13:01] Ishimaru**
The last of the Ashigumo, huh?
**[13:04] Ishimaru**
Good timing. I was just feeling pissed off.
**[13:08] Ishimaru**
I may look like I've fallen,
**[13:11] Ishimaru**
but I've still got a bit
of demonic energy left in me.
**[13:15] Ishimaru**
I wasn't expecting anyone
to come in the night.
**[13:23] Ishimaru**
You're a dead one, huh?
**[13:35] Ishimaru**
No matter. Sorry, but I
don't believe in retribution.
**[13:40] Ishimaru**
The only things here
are strength and weakness!
***SIGN*** Onigiri
Onigiri have been around for centuries. The archetype for the onigiri is the tonjiki.
During the Tokugawa Era, their use as a convenient and portable "bento"
became widespread, and they were eaten during intermissions at theatrical
performances and on outings. Onigiri are also known as "omusubi."
According to one theory, the name originated among housemaids because
they were made by weaving the hands together.
They are also said to help bring people together and defeat oni.

I don't know.
**[14:46] Ashigumo**
The corpses of my people began moving again.
**[14:49] Ashigumo**
Driven by their hatred, they're attacking
the demons that killed them.
**[14:57] Tauemon**
What's this?
**[14:58] Tauemon**
Does this have something
to do with Ishimaru?
**[15:02] Tama**
The evil energy has grown stronger again.
**[15:05] Tama**
Perhaps Ishimaru's powerful hatred spread,
**[15:08] Tama**
and the Yomotsugami responded to it.
**[15:18] Sakuna**
Tauemon!
**[15:25] Tama**
Tauemon!
**[15:28] Tauemon**
I am ashamed.
**[15:32] Tauemon**
I'm still not ready to be a samurai.
**[15:37] Tauemon**
There's no reason
for me to live after all.
**[15:40] Sakuna**
Shut up, you hopeless samurai!
**[15:42] Sakuna**
How can you say you don't want to live
**[15:44] Sakuna**
after serving yourself dozens
of bowls of rice every night?
**[15:48] Tauemon**
Sakuna...
**[15:51] Sakuna**
You like making rice, don't you?
**[15:54] Sakuna**
You like working with the soil
and growing things, don't you?
**[15:58] Sakuna**
Isn't that enough?
**[16:00] Tauemon**
But...
**[16:02] Sakuna**
Leave the rest to me. I love this island.
**[16:07] Tauemon**
Sakuna...
**[16:10] Sakuna**
Kokorowa, you handle the rest.
**[16:12] Kokorowa**
Understood.
**[16:14] Ashigumo**
I'll assist you.
**[16:15] Sakuna**
Ashigumo.
**[16:17] Ashigmo**
That voice is probably...
**[16:20] Kokorowa**
Let us return to the pass.
**[16:23] Tauemon**
Princess Kokorowa.
**[16:27] Tauemon**
I have a request.
**[16:35] Ashigumo**
It's not here.
**[16:42] Ashigumo**
It seems to be calling us to it.
**[16:52] Ashigumo**
This is it.
**[16:54] Sakuna**
The sky...
**[16:56] Sakuna**
So it's always night here.
**[16:58] Tama**
The evil energy here is tremendous.
**[17:01] Tama**
Keep your wits about you.
**[17:30] Sakuna**
Ishimaru...
**[17:31] Ashigumo**
He was consumed by the Homusubi Specter.
**[17:35] Ishimaru**
Hate... hate...
**[17:44] Sakuna**
What was that?
**[17:46] Sakuna**
That was nothing like before.
**[17:49] Tama**
Its evil energy is incredible.
**[17:52] Tama**
The Homusubi Specter and Ishimaru...
**[17:54] Tama**
Their hatred is responding to each
other and running wild in there.
**[18:03] Ashigumo**
I'll draw its attention!
**[18:13] Sakuna**
What?
**[18:31] Sakuna**
Ashigumo!
**[18:32] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[18:37] Sakuna**
It's fast!
**[18:46] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[18:49] Sakuna**
It's so fast. It's nothing like before.
**[18:53] Tama**
It's too dangerous.
**[18:56] Tama**
We should retreat.
**[18:57] Sakuna**
But...
**[19:02] Sakuna**
If I can't defeat this thing,
then defeating Omizuchi is a wild dream.
**[19:07] Sakuna**
Mother...
**[19:10] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[19:20] Sakuna**
What is this light?
**[19:33] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[19:34] Tama**
Your Highness!
**[19:37] Tama**
Stop! Stop this at once!
**[19:39] Tama**
This is Princess Sakuna!
**[19:42] Tama**
I, the Blade of Hoshidama,
**[19:44] Tama**
am prepared to sacrifice
myself to protect her!
**[19:53] Tauemon**
Ishimaru!
**[20:04] Tama**
You...
**[20:09] Tauemon**
What are you afraid of?
**[20:11] Tauemon**
There's no need for fear,
anger, or hate anymore.
**[20:21] Tauemon**
Because you're already dead.
**[20:44] Sakuna**
Tauemon...
**[20:52] Ishimaru**
Well, if it isn't Katsura.
**[20:58] Ishimaru**
Did you kill me?
**[21:02] Tauemon**
You still don't understand?
**[21:04] Tauemon**
You died long ago,
consumed by your own hatred.
**[21:12] Ishimaru**
What is this?
**[21:14] Tauemon**
The rabbit you cut. I saved it.
**[21:20] Tauemon**
It says that it will forgive you.
**[21:23] Tauemon**
Haven't you had enough?
**[21:25] Tauemon**
Free yourself from hate.
**[21:29] Ishimaru**
Katsura, you truly disgust me.
**[21:45] Kokorowa**
Sakuna! Are you all right?
**[21:50] Sakuna**
Did the Divine Raiment protect me?
**[22:11] Sakuna**
Tama.
**[22:12] Tama**
Yes, Your Highness.
**[22:14] Sakuna**
I love this island.
**[22:17] Sakuna**
I love everyone who lives on it.
**[22:21] Sakuna**
I want to protect this island, so...
**[22:26] Sakuna**
So I...
**[22:28] Sakuna**
I will fight Omizuchi!
**[22:33] Tama**
Your Highness...

**[00:01] Sakuna**
So, what does this Omizuchi look like?
**[00:06] Kokorowa**
You called him an evil god.
**[00:09] Tama**
Omizuchi is a water dragon
who causes calamities.
**[00:12] Tama**
His size rivals Lady Kamuhitsuki's,
requiring one to look up at him.
**[00:16] Tama**
He resembles a giant snake.
**[00:20] Sakuna**
A giant snake?
**[00:22] Tama**
His entire body is covered in hard scales.
**[00:24] Tama**
They say there's nothing his claws
filled with evil energy can't destroy.
**[00:30] Kinta**
He's that powerful?
**[00:33] Myrthe**
Sakuna, you will fight him alone?
**[00:36] Tauemon**
How did Lord Takeribi defeat him?
**[00:41] Tama**
Lord Takeribi cut through his hard scales
**[00:43] Tama**
after a fierce battle using
the Blade of Hoshidama.
**[00:49] Yui**
But the Blade of Hoshidama
broke, didn't it?
**[00:54] Sakuna**
All I have is my Divine Raiment.
**[00:57] Tama**
Lady Toyohana received
that Divine Raiment imbued
**[01:01] Tama**
with divinity from the
Visitors in the Lowly Realm.
**[01:06] Tama**
But that alone won't be enough.
**[01:11] Kokorowa**
Sakuna, perhaps this
is too reckless after all.
**[01:16] Tauemon**
I agree.
**[01:18] Tauemon**
You cannot fight him
without the Blade of Hoshidama.
**[01:21] Sakuna**
But...
**[01:22] Tama**
Actually, we do have it.
**[01:24] Tama**
Half of the Blade
of Hoshidama is right here.
**[03:00] Sakuna**
No! I won't do it!
***SIGN*** Episode 12
The Blade of Hoshitama
**[03:02] Sakuna**
How many times do I have to say it?
**[03:04] Tama**
It's the only way.
**[03:07] Tama**
You must melt me down and reforge me
into a new farming tool for yourself.
**[03:12] Tama**
Then you will be able to
pierce Omizuchi's scales.
**[03:15] Sakuna**
No!
**[03:17] Sakuna**
Won't your spirit be lost if we do that?
**[03:21] Sakuna**
You won't be able to talk anymore.
**[03:23] Tama**
My soul will remain as a sword.
**[03:26] Tama**
I will still be by your side.
**[03:28] Sakuna**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[03:30] Sakuna**
That's the same as losing you!
**[03:32] Tama**
Your Highness...
**[03:34] Sakuna**
You listen to me. Never bring this up again!
**[03:37] Sakuna**
As your master, that's an order!
**[03:42] Sakuna**
How's it going?
**[03:43] Yui**
I tried mending it with
the strongest thread I have, but...
**[03:48] Sakuna**
Sorry for all the requests.
**[03:50] Yui**
I don't mind.
**[03:54] Kinta**
This is the strongest
one I can make right now.
**[04:17] Kokorowa**
Perhaps I made it too strong.
**[04:19] Sakuna**
I thought I was going to die!
**[04:22] Kokorowa**
But this may still be weaker than Omizuchi.
**[04:28] Sakuna**
Well...
**[04:32] Kokorowa**
Did it tear again?
**[04:35] Sakuna**
Yeah.
**[04:36] Sakuna**
I can't fully utilize my strength like this.
**[04:40] Sakuna**
On top of that...
**[04:41] Sakuna**
I haven't seen that
strange light since then.
**[04:49] Sakuna**
I'll have to ask him to remake this, too.
**[04:52] Kokorowa**
Sakuna.
**[04:56] Kokorowa**
Nothing.
**[05:00] Yui**
It didn't work, did it?
**[05:02] Sakuna**
Can't you make it any stronger?
**[05:05] Yui**
I've already tried everything I can.
**[05:09] Kinta**
All I can do is reforge this, too.
**[05:13] Sakuna**
I see. Sorry, but could you?
**[05:16] Kinta**
What's the point?
**[05:19] Kinta**
Even if I can make it a little stronger,
I doubt it'll pierce Omizuchi's scales.
**[05:25] Sakuna**
Don't give up.
**[05:27] Sakuna**
It may take some time, but by gradually
making it stronger, eventually...
**[05:39] Sakuna**
That's...
**[05:42] Kokorowa**
We mustn't allow ash
to fall on the fields.
**[05:44] Kokorowa**
We should cover them, just in case.
**[05:48] Tauemon**
Understood.
**[05:49] Myrthe**
I will tell the kappa in the field below.
**[06:00] Sakuna**
The island...
**[06:04] Tauemon**
Should we really start planting
when the island is like this?
**[06:08] Kinta**
The number of demons is increasing, too.
**[06:12] Kinta**
It might be impossible
to keep cultivating rice here.
**[06:18] Tama**
Princess Kokorowa.
**[06:20] Tama**
I have a request.
**[06:30] Sakuna**
It's just like when I fought Ishimaru.
**[06:41] Sakuna**
Again?
**[06:43] Sakuna**
Why'd I have to tear
my Divine Raiment now?
**[06:48] Kokorowa**
Now that you've gotten stronger,
**[06:51] Kokorowa**
you're probably drawing on the
full strength of the Divine Raiment.
**[06:54] Kokorowa**
Your damaged raiment
probably can't keep up.
**[06:58] Sakuna**
You might be right.
**[07:00] Sakuna**
But how do you know that? You're not Tama.
**[07:04] Kokorowa**
B-Because...
**[07:05] Kokorowa**
More importantly, look at this.
**[07:08] Kokorowa**
I did my best to imitate what I've seen.
**[07:11] Sakuna**
Kokorowa.
**[07:15] Sakuna**
It's rather short.
**[07:17] Kokorowa**
I thought that would make it easier to use.
**[07:21] Kokorowa**
Here we go.
**[07:34] Sakuna**
Over here!
**[07:47] Sakuna**
What's this?
**[07:49] Kokorowa**
Sakuna.
**[07:51] Sakuna**
I did it. I did it!
**[07:53] Sakuna**
What is this? It's so sharp!
**[07:56] Sakuna**
I can beat him with this sword!
**[07:59] Tama**
This is the power of the Blade of Hoshidama.
**[08:03] Tama**
It is a unique blade unlike any other.
**[08:06] Tama**
Only the Blade of Hoshidama can defeat him.
**[08:10] Sakuna**
Tama...
**[08:12] Tama**
It's the only way.
**[08:18] Sakuna**
No.
**[08:19] Tama**
Your Highness.
**[08:21] Sakuna**
No! I refuse!
**[08:28] Sakuna**
Kinta! It's me!
**[08:30] Kinta**
Low-quality?
**[08:33] Ashigumo**
It's not enough either.
**[08:35] Ashigumo**
The top of the mountain is covered
in fire and unapproachable.
**[08:41] Kinta**
Damn it.
**[08:43] Sakuna**
Kinta...
**[08:44] Tama**
Yui is experiencing the same thing.
**[08:47] Tama**
She's been sacrificing sleep
to make something that won't tear.
**[08:52] Tama**
They're doing everything they can
for you and this island.
**[08:57] Tama**
At this rate, all their
efforts will be in vain.
**[09:03] Tama**
Do you remember when we
first arrived on this island?
**[09:09] Tama**
You spoke only of complaints and anxieties,
lamenting your unhappiness.
**[09:15] Tama**
“Is there any way to escape this place?”
**[09:18] Tama**
That's all anyone thought about.
**[09:22] Tama**
Not just you, but everyone here.
**[09:26] Tama**
When I saw that, I realized
I couldn't disappear.
**[09:34] Tama**
If I'd left you like that,
**[09:37] Tama**
I wouldn't be able to face
Lord Takeribi and Lady Toyohana.
**[09:43] Tama**
But now there's nothing to worry about.
**[09:47] Tama**
Seeing you and the others on the island now,
what do I have to worry about?
**[09:53] Sakuna**
No.
**[09:55] Tama**
Please allow me to be your sword.
**[10:00] Tama**
Please grant this old man his final wish.
**[10:03] Sakuna**
No. No, no!
**[10:06] Sakuna**
Why do I have to sacrifice you?
**[10:10] Sakuna**
Why would you ask me to do that?
**[10:13] Tama**
To save the island!
**[10:16] Tama**
Don't you want to save Hinoe Island?
**[10:20] Tama**
Don't you want to protect everyone here?
**[10:39] Sakuna**
Tama.
**[10:40] Tama**
Yes?
**[10:41] Sakuna**
No, Blade of Hoshidama.
**[10:45] Sakuna**
Lend me...
**[10:48] Sakuna**
Lend me your strength.
**[10:52] Tama**
Your Highness...
**[10:54] Tama**
Thank you for saying that.
***SIGN*** Preparing For Next Year's Planting
How was the rice cultivated? How was the weather? How did the rice turn out?
While eating their rice, farmers look back on how the rice was grown that year. This year,
the rice grew poorly due to lack of fertilizer, so next year, they'll use more. This year
the water was managed poorly, so next year, they'll be more careful. Sakuna and
her companions continue swinging their hoes as well, thinking about how to cultivate rice year after year...

**[11:31] Sakuna**
Another beautiful day.
**[11:37] Sakuna**
Why are you up so early?
**[11:40] Kinta**
I can't do it.
**[11:43] Kinta**
I can't do it.
**[11:45] Kinta**
I can't melt down and reforge a sword
as incredible as the Blade of Hoshidama.
**[11:51] Kinta**
What if I mess up?
**[11:53] Kinta**
Once it's melted,
there's no turning back.
**[11:56] Kinta**
His spirit will be gone.
**[11:58] Kinta**
I can't do that.
**[12:00] Sakuna**
It's what Tama wants.
**[12:03] Sakuna**
He wants to be melted down and
reforged by someone he lived here with.
**[12:08] Sakuna**
I ask that you grant him his final wish.
**[12:17] Tama**
Your Highness, you're up early.
**[12:20] Sakuna**
Tama.
**[12:23] Sakuna**
Listen, Tama. I spoke
with Kokorowa yesterday.
**[12:26] Sakuna**
Is there anywhere you'd like to visit?
**[12:28] Sakuna**
We could even take
a trip back to the capital.
**[12:31] Tama**
Your Highness...
**[12:32] Sakuna**
Tell me anything you'd like to do.
**[12:34] Sakuna**
There must be a lot you
haven't been able to do.
**[12:39] Tama**
Well...
**[12:43] Tama**
For me,
**[12:44] Tama**
I feel most at home in this
place where I spent time
**[12:47] Tama**
with Lord Takeribi and Lady Toyohana.
**[12:52] Tama**
I'd like to take it easy here.
**[13:05] Sakuna**
This is no different from normal.
**[13:09] Sakuna**
Are you sure you don't
want to go anywhere?
**[13:12] Tama**
The weather sure is nice.
**[13:15] Myrthe**
Have some tea.
**[13:17] Tama**
Ah, thank you.
**[13:22] Tama**
It tastes good.
**[13:24] Tama**
You've improved.
**[13:26] Myrthe**
Thank you.
**[13:30] Sakuna**
Oh, right. The rice.
**[13:32] Myrthe**
Rice?
**[13:33] Sakuna**
Didn't you say you found some Amahoho
the kappa had stored away?
**[13:38] Sakuna**
Could we get some of that?
**[13:41] Myrthe**
I believe so.
**[13:43] Sakuna**
Let's eat it together.
**[13:45] Sakuna**
I want Tama to eat the rice I made.
**[13:50] Myrthe**
Very well.
**[13:59] Sakuna**
A cow?
**[14:01] Tama**
Apparently.
**[14:03] Sakuna**
Did you bring that here?
**[14:09] Kokorowa**
Tauemon told me people attach
farming equipment to cows like this,
**[14:14] Kokorowa**
so I tried making something.
**[14:26] Tauemon**
A cow is very useful for performing
other types of manual labor as well.
**[14:33] Tama**
His divinity has grown stronger.
**[14:37] Tama**
Perhaps, because this child suffered
when his parents were killed
**[14:41] Tama**
in the Lowly Realm, he understands
hatred and anger produce nothing
**[14:47] Tama**
while forgiveness is
the source of true strength.
**[14:56] Sakuna**
It's still so cold.
**[14:58] Kinta**
It's hardly worth complaining about.
**[15:01] Sakuna**
I wasn't complaining.
**[15:03] Myrthe**
Do not fight.
**[15:08] Tauemon**
Hey!
**[15:11] Tauemon**
Let's get started as well.
**[15:15] All**
Yeah!
**[15:27] (Flashback) Toyohana**
A little deeper.
**[15:30] (Flashback) Toyohana**
Like this.
**[15:31] (Flashback) Takeribi**
I know that! Like this?
**[15:36] (Flashback) Toyohana**
That's too deep.
**[15:38] (Flashback) Takeribi**
It's basically the same.
**[15:40] (Flashback) Takeribi**
Cultivating rice doesn't suit
a war god anyway.
**[15:44] (Flashback) Toyohana**
Aren't you the one
who said he wanted to try it?
**[15:49] (Flashback) Takeribi**
Well...
**[15:52] Toyohana**
*Weak roots and weak hearts*
**[16:01] (Flashback) Takeribi**
What is that?
**[16:05] (Flashback) Toyohana**
It's a planting song. Sing with me.
**[16:09] Toyohana**
*Weak roots and weak hearts*
**[16:21] Toyohana & Takeribi**
* Sink your legs into the mud*
* and bend your back*
**[16:34] Tama**
Your Highness.
**[16:37] Tama**
Could you sing me the planting song?
**[16:43] Sakuna**
Then join us.
**[16:46] Sakuna**
Plant with us.
**[16:58] Sakuna**
Just like this.
**[17:04] Tama**
Your Highness.
**[17:07] Tauemon**
*Weak roots and weak hearts*
**[17:13] Tama**
*Lady Toyohana, Lord Takeribi.*
**[17:16] Tama**
* Princes Sakuna has become*
* a great harvest goddess.*
**[17:19] Tauemon**
* Sink your legs into the mud*
* and bend your back*
**[17:23] Tama**
*I am glad to be able to tell you that.*
**[17:31] Sakuna**
What? There's no rice?
**[17:34] Tauemon**
I'm terribly sorry.
**[17:36] Tauemon**
It looked so good, I couldn't help myself.
**[17:40] Sakuna**
What are you doing?
**[17:42] Sakuna**
We were going to eat that with Tama!
**[17:45] Sakuna**
No dinner for you!
**[17:46] Tauemon**
B-But that's too cruel.
**[17:49] Tama**
It's all right. I ask
that you forgive him.
**[17:55] Sakuna**
Oh, fine. Have a seat.
**[17:59] Tauemon**
Thank you.
**[18:02] Tama**
I'm sorry.
**[18:04] Tauemon**
It's fine.
**[18:06] Sakuna**
I know.
**[18:07] Sakuna**
Why don't we go
pick mushrooms tomorrow?
**[18:11] Myrthe**
Mushrooms?
**[18:12] Yui**
B-But there are still
demons in the mountains.
**[18:15] Sakuna**
It shouldn't be a problem
if I'm with you.
**[18:18] Sakuna**
Now that it's spring, lots of new
mountain vegetables will have sprouted.
**[18:22] Sakuna**
Right, Tama?
**[18:24] Tama**
A fine idea.
**[18:27] Sakuna**
Really? You're coming, too.
**[18:29] Sakuna**
Got it?
**[18:30] Yui**
Kinta.
**[18:31] Tama**
Very well.
**[18:32] Kinta**
Don't say anything.
**[18:43] Sakuna**
Hey, Tama.
**[18:44] Tama**
What is it?
**[18:46] Sakuna**
Once we're done picking mushrooms,
we should chop some lumber, too.
**[18:51] Sakuna**
We'll need fresh water and fish as well.
**[18:54] Sakuna**
What do you think?
**[18:56] Tama**
A fine idea.
**[18:59] Sakuna**
Really?
**[19:00] Tama**
We're going out early tomorrow morning.
**[19:04] Tama**
You should rest.
**[19:06] Sakuna**
You're right.
**[19:11] Sakuna**
Good night.
**[19:20] Tama**
Good night, Your Highness.
**[19:31] Tama**
I'm sorry for asking you to do this.
**[19:40] Tama**
Let's begin.
**[19:41] Kinta**
Yeah.
**[20:11] Sakuna**
Another beautiful day.
**[20:14] Sakuna**
Tama, everyone. We're going out.
**[20:21] Sakuna**
Tama?
**[20:23] Sakuna**
Tama? Where are you?
**[20:26] Sakuna**
Is he down below? Are the others with him?
**[20:42] Myrthe**
Sakuna...
**[20:47] Sakuna**
Why? Why didn't you tell me?
**[20:52] Kokorowa**
It's what Tama— No, it's what
the Blade of Hoshidama wanted.
**[20:57] Kokorowa**
It was his final request.
**[21:01] Sakuna**
Tell me! Why did you do this?
**[21:06] Sakuna**
I'm a god!
**[21:08] Sakuna**
You think you can get away
with doing this without my permission?
**[21:11] Sakuna**
To my dear Tama?
**[21:14] Sakuna**
The one who raised me?
**[21:16] Sakuna**
Who was always by my side?
**[21:20] Kinta**
I didn't...
**[21:23] Kinta**
I didn't want to...
**[21:31] Tama**
*Your Highness.*
**[21:32] Sakuna**
Shut up!
**[21:34] Tama**
*Your Highness.*
**[21:35] Sakuna**
Shut up!
**[21:41] Tama**
*Your Highness, this is no time to cry.*
**[21:46] Sakuna**
Shut up.
**[21:47] Tama**
*Stand up.*
**[21:51] (Flashback) Tama**
Stand up, Your Highness.
**[21:54] (Flashback) Sakuna**
Shut up.
**[21:55] (Flashback) Tama**
Put your hands on the ground.
**[22:00] (Flashback) Tama**
You are the daughter of a war god
and a harvest goddess.
**[22:09] Sakuna**
Shut up.
**[22:10] Sakuna**
You're always, always, always...
**[22:15] Sakuna**
Always doing things to annoy me.
**[22:18] Sakuna**
Always saying things I don't want to hear.
**[22:25] Sakuna**
Tama... Tama...
