[00:00] background
    All right! Here.
[00:03] background
    Here you go. Careful!
[00:07] background
    Hold on. All right!
[00:12] Yuba
    Lord Hayate,
[00:14] Yuba
    thanks to you, Gon and his men will be taken
     to the royal capital's prison camp,
[00:18] Yuba
    and our transport team will
    be able to set out safely.
[00:21] Hayate
    As someone who serves the kingdom,
[00:24] Hayate
    I have only fulfilled my
    duties as expected of me.
[00:28] Yuba
    I trust that sincere, earnest nature of yours,
     and so I have a favor to ask of you.
[00:35] Hayate
    If it's something within my capabilities...
[00:37] Yuba
    This letter is for your
    esteemed father, Lord Gouki.
[00:39] Yuba
    If you could pass it to him, for me...
[00:42] Hayate
    To my father?
[00:44] Yuba
    It is a very important letter.
[00:46] Yuba
    If you could give it to him personally,
    I would greatly appreciate it.
[00:49] Hayate
    I understand.
[00:51] Hayate
    I must go to the next village
    for their tax evaluation,
[00:54] Hayate
    so I won't return to the royal
    capital until after that,
[00:56] Hayate
    but I will, without fail.
[00:58] Hayate
    Will that be acceptable?
[00:59] Yuba
    You have my thanks.
[01:04] Ruri
    Stay safe!
[01:10] Rio
    And so, we all...
[01:13] Rio
    traveled together, and parted
    with Lord Hayate along the way.
SIGN    Kingdom of Karasuki, Royal Capital
[01:18] Rio
    We didn't reach the royal capital of the
    Karasuki Kingdom until several days later.

[03:00] Dola
    This is where we'll be staying.
[03:02] Dola
    If you get lost, you won't
    be able to make it back,
[03:04] Dola
    so when you leave the premises, make sure
    to go with someone who knows the capital.
[03:09] Dola
    I've got to go out, so I'll
    leave the rest to you.
[03:13] Dola
    Rio, Shin, will you come with me?
[03:15] Rio
    Yes.
[03:16] Shin
    Me, too?
[03:23] guard
    Come on.
[03:32] Shin
    That dirtbag.
[03:34] Shin
    I was thinking of killing him.
[03:36] Shin
    Not a very satisfying end, is it?
[03:48] Dora
    Come on, now.
[03:49] Dora
    Don't just sit there looking depressed.
    Time for your emotions to change tacks.
[03:53] Shin
    C-Cut that out, Huntmaster!
    This guy's watching!
[03:56] shopkeeper
    Three large servings of kamutan!
    Thanks for waiting!
[04:00] Rio
    This is kamutan?
[04:03] Dora
    Huh? Rio, you've never had kamutan before?
[04:07] Rio
    N-No, I haven't.
[04:08] Shin
    Once you have, you'll start craving it.
[04:11] Dora
    The first time you ate it, it was an
    emotional experience, right, Shin?
[04:14] Shin
    I suppose...
[04:16] Shin
    With kamutan, slurping it up dynamically
    is the classy way to do it!
[04:21] Dora
    Come on, Rio. If you don't
    eat it, it'll get soggy.
[04:23] Rio
    I will. Thank you for the meal.
[04:31] Rio
    This is delicious!
[04:32] Dora; Shin
    Right?
[04:34] Rio
    Yes!
[04:39] shopkeeper
    Thank you!
[04:41] Shin
    Hey!
[04:42] Shin
    Thanks for what you did for Sayo.
[04:44] Rio
    What?
[04:50] Shin
    Oh, right.
[04:52] Shin
    I need to make sure she gets to eat this,
    or else we'll get into another fight.
[05:03] Rio
    Is that everything we were needed to get?
[05:05] Sayo
    Yes. Thank you so much, Sir Rio!
[05:08] Sayo
    But asking me, someone unused
    to the town, to go shopping...
[05:12] Sayo
    I can't imagine what everyone was thinking.
[05:14] Rio
    If you'd like, shall we go
    eat some kamutan after this?
[05:17] Sayo
    What?
[05:19] Rio
    Master Shin asked me to take you
    if we could manage it, Miss Sayo.
[05:23] Sayo
    My brother did that?
[05:25] Rio
    He said he'd asked you to make it for him,
[05:27] Rio
    but you got into a fight, saying you couldn't
    make it since you'd never eaten it.
[05:31] Rio
    He said he wanted to make sure
    you couldn't say that next time.
[05:33] Sayo
    Honestly, he's such a glutton.
[05:35] Rio
    But I think maybe he just wants to give
    you the chance to eat some, Miss Sayo.
[05:40] Sayo
    What?
[05:42] Rio
    He's a nice older brother, isn't he?
[05:45] Sayo
    Yes, he is.
[05:47] shop lady
    You there, young man!
[05:49] shop lady
    How about a gift for that
    cute girlfriend of yours?
[05:51] Sayo
    I-I'm not his girlfriend or anything!
[05:54] shop lady
    Oh, my! You look so
    good together, I just assumed.
[05:57] shop lady
    But how about just one souvenir of the capital?
[06:00] shop lady
    We have some very nice
    wares here, wouldn't you agree?
[06:03] Rio
    That's true. Since we're
    here and everything...
[06:06] Rio
    Miss Sayo, is there anything you want?
[06:09] Sayo
    What? I-I'm fine!
[06:12] Rio
    You've done so much for me,
    Miss Sayo. Please, don't hesitate.
[06:15] shop lady
    Yes, yes.
[06:17] shop lady
    Miss, at times like these, quietly accepting
    the gift shows a lady's courteousness.
[06:21] Sayo
    Really?
[06:23] Rio
    Miss, you're very good
    at business, aren't you?
[06:25] shop lady
    Thanks!
[06:33] shop lady
    My, miss, what a good eye you have!
[06:35] shop lady
    That's one of our finest items.
[06:38] shop lady
    Would you like to try it on?
[06:39] Sayo
    What?
[06:42] shop lady
    What do you think, young man?
[06:46] Rio
    It really suits you.
[06:50] shop lady
    Doesn't it? It looks so lovely on you!
[06:53] shop lady
    But the price is just so high.
    It's two lesser silver tablets.
[06:56] Sayo
    L-Lesser silver tablets?
[06:58] Rio
    All right.
[07:00] Sayo
    S-Sir Rio, it's all right!
    I really don't need...
[07:03] shop lady
    I might be able to give
    just a little discount.
[07:07] Rio
    I could never haggle over the
    price of a gift for a lady.
[07:11] shop lady
    Very impressive!
[07:12] shop lady
    In that case, I should have
    set the price a little higher.
[07:17] ---
    Shall we go?
[07:19] Sayo
    Th-Thank you so much!
[07:21] shop lady
    Young lady!
[07:23] shop lady
    Do your best to make him yours!
[07:24] shop lady
    It seems to me there'll be a lot of
    competition for that young man.
[07:31] Komomo
    You ruffian! Unhand me!
[07:33] Aoi
    Someone, get him!
[07:37] ronin 2
    Outta the way! Outta the way!
[07:40] ronin 2
    What?
[07:45] Rio
    Miss Sayo! Are you all right?
[07:47] Sayo
    Y-Yes, I'm fine.
[07:52] Aoi
    Lady Komomo!
[07:54] Rio
    She seems to be unconscious, but I don't
    think there's any risk to her life.
[07:59] Aoi
    M-My apologies. This is all due
    to my hopeless incompetence.
[08:03] Rio
    If you're going to apologize,
    apologize to her when she wakes.
[08:08] guards
    What happened?
[08:09] guards
    What's going on?
[08:10] guards
    Clear a path!
[08:11] Rio
    Let's go, Miss Sayo.
[08:13] Sayo
    What? But... are you sure?
[08:16] Rio
    Yes. I want to avoid any kind of trouble.
[08:18] Aoi
    Please, wait!
[08:21] guards
    Are you all right?
[08:22] guards
    You're not hurt?
[08:27] Hayate
    Komomo was almost kidnapped?
[08:30] Gouki
    We're lucky that they were unsuccessful.
[08:32] Gouki
    The young man who saved Komomo
    and apprehended the perpetrators
[08:36] Gouki
    quickly departed the scene, they tell me.
[08:39] Gouki
    So, you said you wanted a private word?
[08:41] Hayate
    Yes.
[08:43] Hayate
    Lady Yuba entrusted me
    with this for you, Father.
[08:48] Hayate
    She said that it was an important letter,
    and I should give it to you in person.
[08:51] Gouki
    I see. From Lady Yuba.
[08:59] Gouki
    Hayate...
[09:00] Hayate
    Yes?
[09:01] Gouki
    Did you meet someone named Rio?
[09:12] Rio
    We're back!
[09:14] Dora
    Hey, good work.
[09:16] Sayo
    Big Brother, the kamutan was delicious!
[09:19] Shin
    Huh?
[09:21] Shin
    Then, when we get back to the village,
    this time you'll make some for me, right?
[09:24] Sayo
    Yes. I'll do my best!
[09:27] woman 1
    Sayo, where did you get that hairpin?
[09:29] Sayo
    Huh?
[09:30] Sayo
    Oh, um, well...
[09:36] Rio
    I'll go put these away.
[09:40] Hayate
    Lord Rio!
[09:42] Rio
    Lord Hayate?
[09:50] Gouki
    I am called Saga Gouki.
[09:53] Kayoko
    I am Kayoko.
[09:58] Gouki
    We are husband and wife, and we
    were both once attendants of your mother...
[10:02] Gouki
    Lady Karasuki Ayame.
[10:07] Rio
    Karasuki... Ayame?
[10:11] Gouki
    Your surprise is understandable.
[10:14] Gouki
    Lord Rio, your mother was of the royal
    family of the Kingdom of Karasuki.
[10:21] Rio
    My mother... was royalty?
[10:28] Gouki
    First, shall I tell you about my
    connection to your father Zen, Lord Rio?
[10:35] Rio
    Yes.
[10:37] Gouki
    It happened over twenty years ago.
[10:40] Gouki
    At the time, the Karasuki Kingdom was at
    war with our neighboring kingdom, Rokuren.
[10:45] Gouki
    Zen volunteered to be a soldier.
[10:49] Gouki
    Zen had a natural gift for both
    the spirit arts and martial arts.
[10:53] Gouki
    His Majesty the King soon bestowed
    upon him the rank of warrior-noble.
[10:57] Gouki
    At that time, he had a bout with me.
[11:05] Gouki
    His skills were the real thing.
[11:08] Gouki
    Because of that,
[11:09] Gouki
    I strongly recommended that he should
    guard members of the royal family.
[11:19] Gouki
    I am sure you can already guess that the
    member of the royal family he guarded...
[11:22] Kayoko
    ...was Lady Ayame.
[11:26] Gouki
    Lady Ayame took a liking to Zen.
[11:35] Gouki
    And it was at that time that a truce was
    negotiated with the Kingdom of Rokuren.
[11:41] Gouki
    At the ceremony celebrating the truce,
[11:43] Gouki
    the prince who had come as ambassador
    took a liking to Lady Ayame,
[11:46] Gouki
    and tried to have his attendants abduct her.
[11:50] Gouki
    Zen kept them from completing their plan,
[11:53] Gouki
    but the prince resented the fact that
    his attendant had been killed.
[11:57] Gouki
    If the truce were to be finalized,
    the prince demanded Zen's execution,
[12:01] Gouki
    and a political marriage to Lady Ayame.
[12:06] Gouki
    Even now, the thought of
    it makes my blood seethe.
[12:10] Rio
    And that's why my mother and
    father ran away together?
[12:15] Gouki
    Yes.
[12:17] Gouki
    His Majesty the King
    arranged for it in secret,
[12:20] Gouki
    and the two of them left our country.
[12:22] Gouki
    And so time flowed on, with no
     news or contact with them.
[12:27] Gouki
    But today, I received
    correspondence from Lady Yuba.
[12:30] Gouki
    And having looked upon your honored
    countenance, Lord Rio, I am certain.
[12:34] Gouki
    There can be no doubt that you are their son.
[12:37] Kayoko
    Yes.
[12:40] Gouki
    Lord Rio, tomorrow, will you
     come to the castle?
[12:44] Rio
    What?
[12:45] Gouki
    His Majesty the King and
    Her Highness the Queen...
[12:47] Gouki
    It is my dearest wish that you
    and they might meet, Lord Rio.
[12:51] Rio
    The two of them... and me?
[12:54] Gouki
    Please. Please, I beg of you.
[13:00] Rio
    All right, I will.
[13:11] Homura
    So you are Rio?
[13:14] Rio
    I am honored to meet you, Your Majesties.
[13:15] Rio
    King Homura, Queen Shizuku, my name is Rio.
[13:20] Homura
    This is a meeting with
    our darling grandchild.
[13:22] Homura
    Would it be possible for you
    to be less formal with us?
[13:25] Shizuku
    Yes, please.
[13:28] Rio
    If you permit it, then... I will do my best.
[13:32] Homura
    First, will you take a seat?
[13:35] Rio
    Yes. Thank you.
[13:37] Shizuku
    Rio, you really do look exactly like Ayame.
[13:43] Rio
    I feel that it's you, Queen Shizuku,
    who looks just like my mother.
[13:48] Shizuku
    My, do you think so?
[13:52] Shizuku
    Rio, will you tell us?
[13:54] Shizuku
    Tell us about Ayame and Zen.
[13:56] Homura
    Yes.
[14:00] Rio
    To cut straight to the conclusion,
    both of them have already died.
[14:04] Homura
    It is how they died and how they lived
     that we would like to hear.
[14:11] Rio
    My father died when I was
    too young to know him.
[14:16] Rio
    My mother was a kind person
    who never stopped smiling.
[14:21] Rio
    She never showed me her
    grief at my father's death.
[14:26] Rio
    We were by no means affluent,
    but every day was a happy one.
[14:31] Rio
    But when I was five, my mother passed away.
[14:35] Shizuku
    When you were five?
[14:37] Homura
    How did Ayame die?
[14:41] Rio
    If I tell you the truth, it will
    be incredibly painful to hear.
[14:46] Homura
    Even so, we want to know.
[14:49] Rio
    My mother...
[14:52] Rio
    was killed...
[14:54] Rio
    right in front of me.
[14:57] Rio
    The person who killed her
    is a man named Lucius.
[15:01] Rio
    Apparently he had worked with
    my father as an adventurer.
[15:04] Rio
    After my father's death,
    he'd helped us in many ways.
[15:07] Rio
    But that day...
[15:10] (Flashback) Ayame
    I'll be back soon. If anyone you
    don't know comes, you stay inside.
[15:16] (Flashback) Rio
    I will!
[15:21] (Flashback) Lucius
    Rio, it's me. It's Lucius.
[15:23] (Flashback) Lucius
    Will you open the door?
[15:35] (Flashback) Lucius
    In this world, there are demons
    who masquerade in human skins.
[15:39] (Flashback) Lucius
    You're one fact smarter now.
[15:42] (Flashback) Ayame
    What are you doing, Master Lucius?!
[15:46] (Flashback) Ayame
    Rio!
[15:48] (Flashback) Ayame
    What have you done to him?
    Let go! Let go right now!
[15:55] (Flashback) Ayame
    Rio...
[15:58] (Flashback) Rio
    Mother...
[16:07] Rio
    That is my last memory of my mother.
[16:10] Homura
    How could this be...
[16:14] Shizuku
    And how have you lived since then?
[16:21] Rio
    When I woke up, I'd been left in the slums.
[16:26] Rio
    I stayed there and lived as an orphan.
[16:29] Rio
    Though that was only until I was seven.
[16:32] Rio
    What happened then?
[16:35] Rio
    There was... an incident where
    I happened to rescue someone
[16:38] Rio
    of importance to the kingdom.
[16:40] Rio
    I was allowed to attend an educational
    institution run by the kingdom.
[16:45] Homura
    In our kingdom,
[16:46] Homura
    we have a school for the court nobles
    and some of the warrior-nobles, but...
[16:50] Rio
    Everyone around me was of similar rank.
[16:52] Homura
    That must have been difficult for you.
[16:54] Rio
    I was treated a little harshly,
[16:57] Rio
    but there were people who treated me well, too.
[16:59] Rio
    Thanks to them, I can hold my head high
    and say my days there were enjoyable.
[17:05] Rio
    I attended that school until I was twelve,
[17:08] Rio
    then I set out for this land that my
    mother had promised to show me one day.
[17:14] Shizuku
    Ayame made such a promise?
[17:17] Homura
    Both you and Ayame must
    harbor a deep hatred for us.
[17:22] Rio
    I think my mother was grateful to you...
[17:26] Rio
    for being able to marry my father.
[17:29] Rio
    It would make no sense for me to
    hate you in the face of that, would it?
[17:33] Homura
    I see.
[17:35] Homura
    But Rio...
[17:36] Homura
    The man who killed Ayame...
[17:40] Rio
    I don't think I can forgive him.
[17:42] Rio
    That man is the one person
    I will never forgive.
[17:44] Homura
    Then, do you hope for revenge?
[17:48] Rio
    Once, that was all
    I thought about. It kept me alive.
[17:51] Rio
    But revenge doesn't create anything.
[17:54] Rio
    And my mother wouldn't want it, either.
[17:56] Rio
    I've thought those things, too.
[17:59] Rio
    Even so, if I ever met that man...
[18:03] Rio
    With these hands, I would...
[18:06] Homura
    I see.
[18:07] Homura
    But you know, Rio...
[18:09] Homura
    If you travel the path of revenge,
    what you will find is hell.
[18:14] Rio
    I know.
[18:15] Homura
    You can still turn back.
    Will you proceed, even so?
[18:19] Rio
    I am determined to proceed, even so.
[18:22] Rio
    If it's necessary, I would not
    hesitate to dirty my own hands.
[18:26] Homura
    Then, I won't stop you.
[18:29] Homura
    But before that, I would
    like you to spar with Gouki.
[18:33] Rio
    With Lord Gouki?
[18:34] Homura
    There is no match for Gouki in
    any of the surrounding kingdoms.
[18:37] Homura
    He is the Karasuki Kingdom's
    strongest warrior.
[18:40] Homura
    This man named Lucius must be very skilled.
[18:43] Homura
    Considering his hideous nature,
    he may even have killed Zen.
[18:48] Homura
    Don't you think so, Gouki?
[18:52] Gouki
    I don't want to admit it,
    but it is definitely possible.
[18:56] Homura
    If you are to one day face Lucius, then you
     will require strength, will you not?
[19:02] Rio
    I understand.
[19:03] Rio
    If he is willing to teach me
    the basics, then, yes, please.
[19:09] Komomo
    Father! Mother! Welcome home!
[19:13] Aoi
    You're...
[19:15] Kayoko
    Aoi, what is it?
[19:17] Aoi
    Th-The person you're with is the
    one who saved Lady Komomo!
[19:22] Gouki
    What's this? Is that right?
[19:24] Rio
    Oh, I just...
[19:27] Kayoko
    Then we will proceed with combat forms.
[19:30] Kayoko
    Both parties, at the ready.
[19:37] Kayoko
    Begin!
[19:49] Gouki
    Your potential is frightening.
[19:52] Gouki
    And to think that in terms of both
    physicality and experience,
[19:54] Gouki
    you haven't yet reached your prime...
[19:57] Rio
    Training is the one thing
    I've always kept up.
[20:01] Gouki
    You've done well!
[20:05] Gouki
    He combines sword work
    with weaponless styles.
[20:08] Gouki
    Impressive!
[20:09] Gouki
    What?
[20:11] Hayate
    It can't be... Father is at a disadvantage?
[20:16] Gouki
    This is thrilling!
[20:24] Rio
    Magical energy is gathering around his sword?
[20:27] Hayate
    F-Father! You can't be thinking of using...
[20:29] Gouki
    Hidden Skill, First Blade...
[20:32] Gouki
    Air Slash!
[20:42] Kayoko
    End of match!
[20:43] Kayoko
    The bout goes to Lord Rio!
[20:50] Gouki
    I've lost this one.
[20:54] Rio
    Thank you very much.
[20:56] Hayato
    I can't believe Father has...
[20:59] Komomo
    He's incredible.
[21:01] Homura
    Impressive.
[21:02] Homura
    I had thought to have you train under Gouki,
    but I see my solicitude was unnecessary.
[21:07] Shizuku
    Yes.
[21:08] Rio
    Not at all. Having this experience before
    heading to Beltrum was invaluable.
[21:13] Rio
    Thank you for your concern.
[21:16] Homura
    We don't have much time left,
     but is there anything you wish to ask?
[21:22] Rio
    I have a cousin who lives in the
    village where I've been staying.
[21:26] Rio
    I would like to tell her
    about my lineage, but...
[21:30] Homura
    Yes. We will trust your judgment in this.
[21:35] Rio
    Thank you.
[21:40] Ruri
    Welcome back!
[21:43] Ruri
    Huh? Where's Rio?
[21:46] Sayo
    Miss Ruri, Sir Rio is...
[21:52] Rio
    Father, Mother... I can't run anymore.
[21:57] Rio
    In order to live, in order
    to protect what's precious,
[22:00] Rio
    I will accept the ugliness
    within me and move forward.
