[00:10] dad
    Your order is noted.
[00:14] koki
    One fresh mushroom paspatta, ready to go.
[00:19] cus
    Hey, Waiter! I'm ready to order!
[00:21] cus
    Me, too!
[00:22] dad
    Understood.
[00:24] dad
    I will attend to you in turn.
[00:26] kok
    Oh, Mr. Golem.
[00:28] kok
    You forgot the side salad.
[00:33] gin
    Worried, are you?
[00:35] gin
    Don't be, though.
[00:36] gin
    Have a little more faith in the kids.
[00:42] dad
    I will resume my duties.

[02:21] fb
    Please... let me stay with my dad forever!
[02:29] fb
    Now my wish will come true...
[02:34] fb
    Look out, Somali!
[02:50] fb
    Damn... What a waste of my time.
[02:57] fb
    I finally found you.
[03:06] kik
    Master Muthrica!
[03:08] kik
    Master!
[03:12] ---
    Ow!
[03:12] mus
    You brat.
[03:14] mus
    How many times do I have to tell you?
    Don't come here without an adult!
[03:16] kik
    I'm sorry!
[03:18] som
    Y-You know this scary guy, Kikila?
[03:22] mus
    Who's scary, now?
[03:26] kik
    Don't worry, Somali!
[03:28] kik
    He might look scary, but Master Muthrica
    is part of the Tsuchinoko Team!
[03:33] som
    Tsuchinoko Team?
[03:36] mus
    An organization that oversees
    Anthole City's underground area.
[03:40] mus
    Usually, those who venture down here
[03:42] mus
    must do so with our protection and guidance.
[03:44] mus
    Another part of our job
    is keeping naughty brats
[03:49] mus
    like Kila-boy here from sneaking in.
[03:53] som
    So that's why...
[03:56] kik
    This brings my record to 26 wins,
     22 losses, and four draws!
[04:01] mus
    Fool!
[04:01] mus
    I told you, this place isn't a playground!
[04:04] mus
    And now you're spurring on
    outsiders with your mischief...
[04:10] kik
    Huh?
[04:11] kik
    Somali, your flower...
[04:12] som
    Huh?
[04:16] som
    How come...
[04:23] mus
    I'd say this one won't make it back.
[04:26] mus
    It'll be dead by the time you're home.
[04:29] som
    Oh, no...
[04:30] som
    But what about my wish?
[04:33] kik
    Why's it dying so quickly, Master?
[04:38] mus
    Look at this.
[04:40] kiki
    What's that?
[04:41] som
    The roots are glowing!
[04:43] mus
    They're the roots of the tsuchiami tree.
[04:45] mus
    The yozame flowers feed off the tree's sap.
[04:49] mus
    But the smaller trees
    provide minimal nutrition.
[04:53] mus
    You get it?
[04:55] mus
    Undernourished flowers
    can't live for very long.
[05:01] kik
    So if we find a bigger tsuchiami tree,
[05:04] ---
    we can get a flower that lives longer, right?
[05:06] kik
    Then, I bet...
[05:08] mus
    Don't even try.
[05:11] mus
    The road to the center
    is winding and dangerous.
[05:14] mus
    It's not a place for children.
[05:17] mus
    Come on, back to the surface.
[05:21] som
    No way! I've gotta try it!
[05:23] som
    I'll keep looking until I find it!
[05:26] mus
    You want me to leave you behind?
[05:28] som
    I'll be fine!
[05:29] som
    I can get back on my own!
[05:31] som
    I'm gonna find a good flower
[05:33] som
    and get my wish about Dad to come true!
[05:41] mus
    The underground realm is larger
    and deeper than the city above.
[05:45] mus
    Not even the Tsuchinoko Team
    has explored all of it.
[05:50] mus
    You'll have no guarantee of safety.
[05:52] mus
    Will you still go, even then?
[05:55] som
    Yeah!
[05:59] mus
    Follow me.
[06:01] mus
    I'll show you the way.
[06:04] kik
    Isn't this cool, Somali?
[06:06] som
    Yeah!
[06:07] mus
    Idiots.
[06:08] mus
    We're not on a picnic.
[06:15] mus
    It was some time ago.
[06:18] mus
    I was escorting a group
    of traveling scholars,
[06:20] mus
    and we happened upon a large tsuchiami tree.
[06:24] mus
    Its yozame flowers should be strong enough
[06:27] mus
    to survive a trip home, and then some.
[06:31] som
    This is so cool!
[06:32] som
    Muthrica knows everything, huh?
[06:34] kik
    I told you, he's my master!
[06:36] som
    Hey! Can I call you "Master," too?
[06:40] mus
    Shut your mouths and keep up.
[06:42] mus
    Don't blame me if you fall and get hurt.
[06:44] both
    Yes, Master!
[06:47] mus
    Good grief...
[06:48] mus
    Babysitting is exhausting.
[06:56] kik
    We have to jump our way across?
[06:59] mus
    If you can't handle this,
    you'll never reach the flowers.
[07:05] mus
    Somali!
[07:18] som
    Th-Thank you...
[07:21] mus
    You've got spirit, eh?
[07:24] sm
    Yeah!
[07:26] mus
    Moving on.
[07:28] kik
    W-Wait for me!
[07:33] mus
    You're pathetic, Kila-boy.
[07:36] mus
    Stumbling over a little stream like that...
[07:38] kil
    But Master, I still jumped over it!
[07:41] mus
    And got your tail soaked in the process.
[07:43] som
    All that nice fluff gone to waste.
[07:46] kik
    Not you too, Somali!
[07:50] mus
    We're here.
[07:52] mus
    The tsuchiami tree is below.
[07:54] som
    Below?
[07:56] kik
    I know these! Branching mushroom spore puffs!
[07:59] kik
    Let's go, Somali!
[08:01] som
    Kikila!
[08:03] kik
    Ready... jump!
[08:31] kik
    They're way nicer than
    the flowers from before...
[08:34] kik
    Let's go!
[08:40] mus
    What a peculiar child...
[08:45] som
    This flower will...
[08:50] mus
    Hey, you two! Get back, right now!
[08:53] kik
    What was that, Master?
[09:02] kik
    I-It's a tsuchilizard!
[09:04] mus
    Damn. What now?
[09:06] mus
    Provoking it might just put them in danger...
[09:21] som
    Kikila...
[09:24] som
    Please! I really need this flower!
[09:28] som
    I want my wish to come true!
[09:30] som
    I want to stay with my dad forever!
[10:13] mus
    You all right, you two?
[10:16] kik
    We're okay...
[10:18] mus
    That was very brave of you, Kikila.
[10:23] som
    Thank you, Kikila.
[10:25] ---
    Sure.
[10:27] som
    But what happened?
[10:28] mus
    The tsuchilizards are the
    masters of the tsuchiami tree.
[10:31] mus
    That means they're the flowers' guardians.
[10:33] mus
    The fact that it let you go
[10:36] mus
    may mean your wish will be granted.
[10:56] kik
    We're back, Mom! Dad!
[10:59] kok
    Kikila!
[11:01] kok
    Mr. Muthrica...
[11:02] mus
    Your usual delivery.
[11:04] kok
    Thank you...
[11:07] som
    Dad! This is called a yozame flower!
[11:11] dad
    You were told to return before nightfall.
[11:15] dad
    Why did you take an unauthorized detour?
[11:17] kik
    I-I'm the one who wanted to go!
[11:20] kik
    So—
[11:21] gol
    Somali still made the decision to stray.
[11:24] gol
    Why did you neglect my order?
[11:26] gol
    Was it willful disobedience?
[11:30] som
    No... I just...
[11:33] dad
    If you continue to act
    with similar recklessness,
[11:36] dad
    I will be unable to travel
    with you any longer.
[11:46] kik
    Somali!
[12:13] kik
    Somali? Somali?
[12:18] kik
    Hey, answer me...
[12:21] kik
    Somali?
[12:24] kok
    If I could, Mr. Golem...
[12:27] kok
    Don't you think you ought to hear her out?
[12:31] kok
    She might have a good reason
    for doing what she did...
[12:34] dad
    No.
[12:35] dad
    Somali's fault in the
    matter is unquestionable.
[12:37] dad
    She failed to follow my orders.
[12:39] mus
    You golems. Always such
    obstinate creatures...
[12:44] gol
    Could you elaborate?
[12:46] mus
    I don't know if you believe
    in these superstitions,
[12:50] mus
    but there's a legend in this town.
[12:53] mus
    If you can bring one of these yozame
    flowers back home before it dies,
[12:57] mus
    it will grant you a wish.
[13:00] dad
    A superstition?
[13:02] dad
    Such things are unrealistic.
[13:04] mus
    But the girl believed it.
[13:07] mus
    She wants to be with you forever.
[13:11] mus
    She was so desperate to
    have that wish granted
[13:14] mus
    that she dove in headlong
    to pick this flower.
[13:17] mus
    That little girl, with her own little hands...
[13:35] mus
    Mr. Golem.
[13:37] mus
    A true parent must not
    inspire fear in their child.
[13:44] mus
    Goodbye.
[13:45] kok
    Mr. Muthrica!
[13:47] kok
    Thank you for your help today!
[13:49] mus
    Sure.
[14:06] kik
    Somali?
[14:10] kik
    I'm coming in.
[14:15] kik
    E-Emergency! It's Somali!
[14:24] dad
    Somali.
[14:30] dad
    She has a fever.
[14:32] dad
    She is three degrees above
    her standard temperature.
[14:35] kik
    Dad, do we have any medicine?
[14:36] kok
    The only medicine we have here
    is for shurigaras like us.
[14:47] kok
    She'll do better with
    some food in her, but...
[14:50] dad
    Thank you. It is appreciated.
[14:57] som
    I'm not hungry.
[15:00] dad
    Irrelevant.
[15:02] dad
    You require nutrition to
    restore your health.
[15:05] dad
    Force it down, if necessary.
[15:14] kok
    Somali...
[15:18] som
    I feel sick...
[15:21] som
    I told you I wasn't hungry...
[15:28] kok
    What are you doing?
[15:29] dad
    I'm going to buy medicine.
[15:31] kok
    At this hour?
[15:33] kok
    But all the stores are already...
[15:40] dad
    The long journey.
[15:42] dad
    Day-to-day exhaustion.
[15:43] dad
    And psychological trauma on top of it...
[15:46] dad
    I had endless chances to notice the toll
    it was taking on Somali's small body.
[15:52] dad
    And yet... I...
[16:03] med
    It's awfully late... What do you want?
[16:06] dad
    I wish to buy medicine.
[16:09] med
    Medicine for what clan?
[16:14] dad
    I need a medicine that
    will work for all clans.
[16:16] med
    What?
[16:17] med
    Well, I do have some like that...
[16:19] med
    But the ingredients are rare,
    so it's pretty expensive.
[16:22] med
    If you could give me a rough
    idea of the clan in question...
[16:28] dad
    Will this be sufficient?
[16:33] dad
    It's medicine. Take it.
[16:36] dad
    Slowly, if needed.
[16:42] dad
    There is no need to rush.
[16:44] dad
    It's all right. Take it slowly.
[16:53] dad
    Yes. That is acceptable.
[17:10] kok
    How's it going?
[17:12] dad
    She appears to have settled.
[17:14] kok
    I see. I'm glad to hear it.
[17:18] dad
    I am the cause of her failing health.
[17:22] dad
    I was so preoccupied with
    the speed of our journey
[17:26] dad
    that I failed to perceive the changes in her.
[17:28] dad
    As a result, I caused a great
    deal of trouble to all of you.
[17:32] dad
    Forgive me.
[17:34] kok
    Somali's really important to you, isn't she?
[17:39] kok
    It's plain to see.
[17:41] kok
    You're so protective of her,
[17:43] kok
    and you guide her so precisely...
[17:48] kok
    But Mr. Golem... there's no
    such thing as a perfect parent.
[17:54] kok
    I make mistakes of my own from time to time.
[17:56] kok
    Sometimes I let my anger get the best of me.
[17:59] kok
    Sometimes I leave him bawling his eyes out.
[18:02] kok
    But whenever I mess up, I always take
    him in my arms and say I'm sorry.
[18:08] kok
    I make sure he knows I care about him.
[18:12] kok
    That's how both parents and children grow.
[18:16] kok
    It's what the relationship is about.
[18:21] kok
    The parent-child relationship?
[18:30] som
    Dad?
[18:35] gol
    Well? Has the pain abated somewhat?
[18:39] som
    Just a little.
[18:42] gol
    I see.
[18:46] gol
    There is no need to overexert yourself.
[18:48] gol
    If things ever feel too
    draining, you must tell me.
[18:52] gol
    Do you understand?
[18:54] som
    Yeah...
[19:05] gol
    The fever has diminished.
[19:07] gol
    The medicine must have had an effect.
[19:09] som
    It tasted gross, though...
[19:11] dad
    Good medicine always tastes bitter.
[19:17] dad
    Regarding our future...
[19:19] dad
    I have decided to work here a while longer.
[19:22] dad
    When we leave this city, our next
    destination will be the Osuna Desert.
[19:26] dad
    We will require significant funding.
[19:28] som
    You mean... we don't have enough money yet?
[19:34] som
    Because you had to buy me medicine?
[19:37] som
    Is it my fault?
[19:40] gol
    Your recovery is all that matters to me.
[19:45] gol
    I can always work to acquire more money.
[19:47] gol
    But there is no replacement for you, Somali.
[19:57] som
    Dad!
[20:00] som
    I'm sorry I didn't come back right away!
[20:03] som
    I'm sorry I always make you worry so much!
[20:12] dad
    I, too, must apologize,
    for making you afraid.
[20:17] som
    Dad, do you promise to stay with me forever?
[20:21] som
    Even when the journey's over,
    you'll stay with me forever?
[20:27] dad
    Yes.
[20:29] dad
    I shall always be with you.
[20:38] som
    I'm so glad... I'm so glad.
[20:44] som
    You gotta promise.
[20:45] som
    You promise, right, Dad?
[20:50] dad
    Yes.
[20:52] dad
    I promise.
[21:12] mus
    Never thought I'd meet a golem in this city.
[21:18] mus
    I was a soldier before I came here.
[21:22] mus
    Saw my fill of all kinds of strange plants
    and creatures, going from place to place.
[21:27] mus
    In a forest far to the west, I met
    a golem at the end of its lifespan.
[21:34] mus
    Much like you are now.
[21:39] mus
    That girl made a wish to be with you forever.
[21:43] mus
    I hope you don't betray that.
[21:59] gol
    I fear that I may have to.
