[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.

[12:07] Sakuna
    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.
