    How about this, then? 20 monee.
[00:06] mas
    20 monee, eh?
[00:08] mas
    All right. Climb aboard.
[00:10] tra
    Appreciate it.
[00:21] som
    It's so good, Dad!
[00:25] som
    But I'm still hungry...
[00:32] dad
    What are you doing, Somali?
[00:34] som
    Yabashira's sweets!
[00:36] som
    They're all gone now,
    but the bag still smells good!
[00:43] dad
    I fail to comprehend.
[00:45] dad
    How can aroma sate the appetite?
[00:49] dad
    Are there any towns nearby?
[00:52] dad
    It seems a significant distance remains.
[00:57] som
    Dad, are we gonna ride that there?
[01:00] dad
    No.
[01:02] dad
    Our travel funds remain limited.
[01:04] dad
    Although a carriage would
    conveniently hasten our journey...
[01:08] som
    Don't worry about me! I'll walk!
[01:11] som
    There's no hurry!
[01:13] som
    I like walking with you, Dad!
[01:18] (Flashback) fb
    I have lived 998 years and 253 days.
[01:23] (Flashback) fb
    My life functions will cease
    in one year and 112 days.
[01:29] (Flashback) fb
    That is why I must return Somali to her
    real parents before that time comes.
[01:36] som
    Dad?
[01:38] dad
    It's fine.
[01:39] dad
    Let us walk, then.
[01:41] som
    Yeah!

[03:15] som
    I said I'd be okay walking, but...
[03:19] som
    It's really tough.
[03:22] som
    Dad, my legs are all wobbly.
[03:26] dad
    We are nearly there.
[03:28] dad
    Look.
[03:39] ann
    Come one, come all, and feast your eyes!
[03:42] ann
    The gap in the mountain
    is the main thoroughfare!
[03:44] ann
    Anything can be found,
    and everyone's welcome!
[03:47] ann
    Welcome to Anthole City, everyone!
[03:52] man
    I've got high-quality wine here!
[03:55] wom
    I'll mend anything on the spot!
[03:57] po
    Seaweed-grilled sticky sweet potatoes!
[03:59] po
    Piping hot and fresh! Come on by!
[04:04] dad
    Anthole City appears to be a popular
    marketplace for travelers to visit
[04:08] dad
    before crossing the desert.
[04:11] soma
    "Anthole"?
[04:13] dad
    It is so named because the streets wind
    in a manner similar to an ant colony.
[04:18] dad
    If one is lost in this town,
    one will remain lost forever.
[04:24] dad
    Do you understand my meaning?
[04:26] som
    Uh-huh!
[04:29] man
    Welcome, sir!
[04:32] man
    Now, how can I help you?
[04:35] dad
    I wish to sell.
[04:37] man
    Yes, of course!
[04:40] man
    Hypericum erectum, honey mushrooms, and...
[04:52] soma
    The lights are all floaty...
[04:57] mus
    Hey.
[05:02] mus
    What are you doing there?
[05:16] dad
    What is the matter?
[05:17] som
    Nothing!
[05:19] man
    How about this, sir?
[05:22] dad
    A smaller sum than I expected.
[05:24] man
    Yeah, sorry about that.
[05:25] man
    These just don't fetch a high price here.
[05:28] man
    The city's well-stocked as it is, so...
[05:32] man
    Trying to make money in a hurry?
[05:34] dad
    Yes. I wish to resume my journey
    as quickly as possible.
[05:39] man
    You might have better luck
    doing odd jobs, then.
[05:43] man
    This is Anthole City, after all.
[05:46] man
    Someone's always understaffed.
[05:51] dad
    Regardless...
[05:54] dad
    That matter must be dealt with immediately.
[05:58] soma
    Do we have enough money?
[06:00] dad
    We have enough to purchase a meal.
[06:05] dad
    Is this location acceptable?
[06:06] soma
    Yeah!
[06:12] dad
    Are they closed?
[06:15] soma
    Dad...
[06:17] dad
    What?
[06:18] soma
    That box is moving.
[06:22] dad
    It appears that someone is hiding inside.
[06:25] soma
    They are?!
[06:32] kiki
    I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[06:38] kiki
    Who are you?
[06:40] som
    I'm Somali!
[06:42] koki
    My apologies, sir.
[06:44] koki
    We're not quite ready to open—
[06:45] koki
    Hey! Kikila!
[06:47] kiki
    Oh, no!
[06:49] kiki
    What?!
[06:51] soma
    You look fluffy and snuggly!

SIGN    Preparing
[06:59] koki
    I'm so sorry about all the fuss.
[07:03] dad
    No, the fault is entirely ours.
[07:05] koki
    Don't be absurd.
[07:07] koki
    My son and I are woolly shurigara.
[07:10] koki
    I'm Kokilila, and this is—
[07:13] kiki
    Shucks. I almost got away, too!
[07:16] koki
    Enough, Kikila!
[07:18] dad
    "Got away"?
[07:19] koki
    Well, my wife hurt her back,
[07:22] koki
    so our son is supposed to help with the shop.
[07:25] koki
    But as you can see,
    he doesn't like to stay put...
[07:28] dad
    That is a common tendency in children.
[07:33] koki
    Kids his age should be out playing,
    so it's not like I want twist his arm...
[07:36] koki
    But I just can't seem to hire workers.
[07:40] dad
    You require workers?
[07:43] dad
    In that case...
[07:47] som
    You look cool, Dad!
[07:50] gina
    Isn't that nice?
[07:51] gina
    It suits you so well—ouch, ouch.
[07:54] koki
    Hey, I told you to take it easy.
[07:57] koki
    This is my wife, Giina.
[07:59] gina
    We really do appreciate it.
[08:01] gina
    If anything gives you trouble, just ask.
[08:04] dad
    Understood.
[08:06] dad
    Somali.
[08:07] dad
    You must remain inside the restaurant
    until my work is complete.
[08:11] som
    Understood!
[08:12] kiki
    Can I go play, then?
[08:14] koki
    Yes. Go play with Somali.
[08:16] kiki
    Yay!
[08:18] kiki
    Let's play over there!
[08:21] soma
    Okay!
[08:24] koki
    I'll explain your duties, then.
[08:29] soma
    It's sucking up the color!
[08:31] kiki
    How do you like to play, Somali?
[08:35] som
    I explore!
[08:36] som
    And I chase animals and cuddle them!
[08:41] som
    But my favorite is playing with my dad!
[08:45] kiki
    Yeah, I like playing with my dad, too!
[08:49] kiki
    We always kick a ball around!
[08:51] som
    I like it when my dad picks
    me up and runs real fast!
[08:57] kiki
    What kind of game is that?!
[08:58] som
    And we play hide-and-seek, too!
[09:00] som
    One time, I found him hiding at
    the top of a really tall tree!
[09:04] kiki
    Was that really hide-and-seek?!
[09:06] soma
    It's been so boring lately, though...
[09:09] soma
    We haven't played any new games.
[09:12] kiki
    Oh, yeah?
[09:14] kiki
    Well, we're ready to go now!
[09:19] soma
    You're drawing!
[09:20] soma
    I like drawing, too!
[09:26] kiki
    Long, long ago, in a land far away...
[09:32] kiki
    A strange visitor came.
[09:40] kiki
    The traveler crossed the sea,
[09:46] kiki
    and saw a person with horns and a tail...
[09:56] soma
    That's a neat song!
[09:58] kiki
    You've never heard it?
[09:59] kiki
    It's a really old song! Everyone knows it!
[10:02] kiki
    It almost seems like it's about us, huh?
[10:04] kiki
    I have horns and a tail,
    and you're a visitor!
[10:08] som
    Oh, yeah! That's true!
[10:11] kiki
    Right?
[10:12] som
    What about cuddles?
[10:13] som
    Are there any cuddles in the song?
[10:16] kiki
    No way!
[10:18] koki
    I see they've bonded very quickly.
[10:21] dad
    It does appear that way.
SIGN    Open
[10:28] man
    I see. Interesting.
[10:31] dad
    Your order, sir.
[10:33] man
    That's some amazing balance you've got...
[10:35] oki
    Hey, be careful with those!
[10:37] dad
    No need for concern.
[10:39] dad
    I have carefully assessed
    the dishes' weight and balance.
[10:44] koki
    Well, maybe the performance
    will draw in customers...

    corn salad with herbs.

[11:03] koki

[11:06] dad
    Oh?
[11:09] man
    I've seen a lot of things on my travels,
[11:11] man
    but a golem waiter is a first.
[11:13] man
    What brings you here?
[11:16] dad
    I am on a journey, searching for humans.
[11:18] man
    Humans? To eat?
[11:20] dad
    No.
[11:21] man
    There was a traveler we met who
    mentioned humans, wasn't there?
[11:26] man
    Yeah, that's right!
[11:27] man
    He thought he saw them on the
    west end of the Osuna Desert.
[11:31] man
    Well, crossing the desert is no easy task.
[11:35] man
    You said it!
[11:37] dad
    The desert?
[11:39] dad
    I appreciate the information.
[11:43] kiki
    Your dad can do anything, Somali!
[11:50] kiki
    I wish he'd stay and work with us forever.
[11:54] kiki
    Then I could always play with you!
[11:58] kiki
    You think you'll come back
    when your journey is over?
[12:02] kiki
    Oh, but I guess when it's over,
    you'll just go home.
[12:06] kiki
    That stinks...
[12:13] soma
    When our journey is... over?
[12:27] man
    If you want to cross the desert with a child,
[12:31] man
    you'll need all this at the bare minimum.
[12:34] dad
    I lack the funds to purchase it all.
[12:41] dad
    Your order, sir.
[12:42] dad
    Gliding lizard in cream.
[12:47] dad
    We hope you will come back again.
[12:49] man
    Waiter! Water, please!
[12:52] dad
    I will bring it immediately.
[12:53] koki
    Boy, that golem's such a big help.
[12:57] gina
    Yes! He deserves twice what
    we're paying him, at least!
[13:01] dad
    Your order, sir.
[13:07] som
    Dad, I just—
[13:09] dad
    I am working.
[13:11] dad
    Tell me later.
[13:16] kiki
    Hey, Somali.
[13:17] kiki
    Let's play outside today.
[13:19] som
    But Dad said I couldn't go outside...
[13:23] kiki
    That's why we won't tell him!
[13:29] dad
    Where are you going?
[13:30] kiki
    T-To play outside!
[13:33] dad
    That is not permitted.
    You must play inside the restaurant.
[13:35] kiki
    How come? What's the big deal?
[13:38] dad
    That was the agreement.
[13:40] dad
    Somali, do you understand?
[13:44] som
    Yeah...
[13:48] kiki
    What's his problem?
[13:49] kiki
    Your dad's way too strict!
[15:10] dad
    Your order, sir.
[15:11] kiki
    Hey! Hey, Somali!
[15:14] kiki
    Somali?
[15:15] koki
    Kikila!
[15:16] koki
    Could you and Somali pick
    up a few things for me?
[15:19] kiki
    Sure!
[15:20] kiki
    Let's go, Somali!
[15:22] dad
    Wait.
[15:23] dad
    Somali is not permitted to go.
[15:26] dad
    I cannot allow her to leave my supervision.
[15:29] iki
    I'll be with her!
[15:30] iki
    I promise I'll watch over her!
[15:33] iki
    I'll protect her if she gets in trouble!
    So please, let her come along!
[15:43] dad
    Very well. You have my permission to go.
[15:47] kiki
    Isn't that great, Somali?
[15:50] dad
    See that you return before nightfall.
[15:57] som
    Okay...
[16:02] koki
    You're the worrying type, huh?
[16:05] koki
    Did I overstep by asking her?
[16:09] dad
    No. Our entire journey has
    been only Somali and me.
[16:14] dad
    Kikila is the first friend she has made.
[16:18] dad
    I do not wish to take that lightly.
[16:22] man
    Here you go.
[16:23] kiki
    Thanks!
[16:24] man
    I added your usual special treat.
[16:27] kiki
    Yay!
[16:28] man
    Careful on your way back, now.
[16:32] kik
    Here, a baked apopo!
[16:33] kik
    The shopkeeper always gives me one.
[16:41] som
    It's good...
[16:42] kik
    Right?!
[16:44] kik
    I really love these—
[16:50] kik
    Wh-What's wrong?!
[16:55] som
    I think my dad wants to leave me.
[17:00] som
    He's trying to get money so we can
    finish our journey as soon as possible.
[17:05] som
    And when it's over, he might leave me.
[17:10] som
    But I wanna stay with him forever...
[17:17] kiki
    I know!
[17:18] kiki
    Let's ask the yozame flowers!
[17:20] kiki
    There's a legend in this city, see?
[17:22] kiki
    There are flowers growing beneath the
    city, and if you bring one back alive,
[17:25] kiki
    it'll grant you a wish!
[17:29] som
    It'll grant a wish?
[17:30] kiki
    Yeah! Let's go find one!
[17:33] som
    Kikila... You're so nice!
[17:39] kiki
    Stop it, Somali!
[17:41] soma
    I say thanks with cuddles!
[17:44] kiki
    Stop! Stop it! Stop!
[17:55] kiki
    Kids really aren't supposed
    to come down here alone...
[18:00] kiki
    But there are lots of secret
    ways in around the city,
[18:04] kiki
    so kids still come here to
    play in secret all the time.
[18:07] som
    Why do you need a grown-up with you?
[18:12] kiki
    Because...
[18:15] ---
    This world is nothing like the world above.
[18:17] kiki
    It belongs to the underground creatures!
[18:29] som
    Those are the things I saw the first day!
[18:33] kiki
    Wanna go?
[18:34] soma
    Yeah!
[18:36] soma
    It's really bright for underground.
[18:39] kiki
    That's the mushrooms' spores glowing.
[18:42] kiki
    They use the light to lure
    in bugs and eat them!
[18:44] soma
    The mushrooms eat bugs?!
[18:47] kiki
    Yeah!
[19:13] kiki
    Say...
[19:15] kiki
    Just what are you and Mr. Golem
    to each other, Somali?
[19:18] kiki
    You call Mr. Golem "Dad,"
[19:23] kiki
    but even for an interclan foster family,
    it just seems different somehow.
[19:30] som
    I call him Dad 'cause he's my dad.
[19:34] som
    When I'm in danger, he protects me.
[19:37] som
    When we might get separated,
    he holds my hand.
[19:40] som
    When I can't sleep at night,
    he counts stars for me.
[19:44] som
    He's there when I need him.
[19:49] som
    So... that means he's my dad.
[19:56] kiki
    Oh, okay.
[20:00] kiki
    It's a starry butterfly swarm!
[20:03] kiki
    Let's go, Somali!
[20:04] kiki
    The starry butterflies feed on
    the pollen of yozame flowers!
[20:08] kiki
    So if we follow them,
    we'll find yozame flowers!
[20:13] kiki
    Somali?
[20:15] kiki
    Hey, wait up!
[20:36] kiki
    Wow, a whole field of yozame flowers!
[20:39] som
    Let's find the biggest one!
[20:49] som
    There! That big one!
[20:58] som
    Please... let me stay with my dad forever!
[21:10] som
    Now my wish will come true...
[21:16] kiki
    Look out, Somali!
[21:37] musu
    Damn... What a waste of my time.
[21:48] musu
    I finally found you.
[21:53] som
    Dad...
[22:02] dad
    Somali.
