    Ribbit, ribbit! Ribbit, ribbit!
[00:10] som
    Jump!
[00:11] som
    Jump!
[00:13] dad
    What are you doing, Somali?
[00:16] som
    Playin' frog!
[00:18] dad
    We must hurry.
[00:20] dad
    You will catch a cold if we do
    not secure shelter from the rain.
[00:24] som
    Okay!
[00:28] som
    Stop that! It tickles!
[02:05] som
    Walkin' in the rain! Walkin' in the rain!

    The rain comes falling down and down!
SIGN    Episode 9
     Memories of Minor Days
SIGN    Dad, look!
SIGN    What's that?
[02:19] dad
    A treehouse, I believe.
[02:22] dad
    Shall we attempt it?
[02:24] som
    Yeah!
[02:28] dad
    We appear to be the only ones here.
[02:30] dad
    We should stay here for the night.
[02:34] som
    Staying here will be fun!
[02:37] dad
    It appears to be a lodging for tappers.
[02:40] som
    Tappers?
[02:43] dad
    This area's trees are known as candy baums.
[02:46] dad
    They produce a sap with a
    very high sugar content.
[02:49] dad
    The holes we saw in the trees are
    likely the result of sap extraction.
[02:53] dad
    A crystallized version of the sap can be
    ground into a product known as baum sugar.
[02:59] dad
    It is sold from stalls as a candy.
[03:01] som
    Oh, the sweet melty stuff!
[03:04] dad
    Those who extract the sap
    are known as "tappers."
[03:09] dad
    They likely lodge here during
    the harvest period.
[03:14] dad
    Do you understand?
[03:16] som
    Yeah, I understand!
[03:18] dad
    Then let us have dinner.
[03:19] som
    Yeah, let's have dinner!
[03:31] dad
    The ends of the world.
[03:34] dad
    Will my body hold out that long?
[03:39] som
    Dad!
[03:41] dad
    Somali. You are not yet asleep?
[03:44] som
    Read me this book before I sleep!
[03:47] som
    I found it next to my bed!
[03:50] dad
    One of the tappers must have left this.
[03:54] dad
    It appears to contain cooking advice.
[03:57] dad
    Honey mushroom milk jam.
[03:59] dad
    "The gentle sweetness of cow's
    milk and honey mushrooms.
[04:03] dad
    One spoonful will reinvigorate
    any exhaustion."
[04:07] som
    Sounds so good! What else does it say?
[04:11] dad
    Beef stew with wicca wine.
[04:14] dad
    "The stimulating aroma
    of rich wine will bring sighs
[04:17] ---
    of contentment from the
    most discerning palate."
[04:22] dad
    Baked horned rabbit.
[04:26] dad
    Cactus thorn and pork egg drop soup.
[04:29] dad
    Sandshark eastern-style pila—
[04:32] som
    I'm so hungry now.
[04:36] dad
    You ate dinner recently.
[04:38] som
    Yeah, but...
[04:41] som
    I just wanna eat some food you make.
[04:50] dad
    I cannot guarantee its quality.
[04:52] som
    Dad!
[05:01] som
    There's food in there!
[05:03] dad
    Preserved foods.
[05:07] dad
    We are borrowing their food.
[05:09] dad
    I will leave money for that,
    as well as for our lodging expenses.
[05:12] som
    Okay!
[05:14] som
    Coarse-ground flour,
    baking powder, and butter.
[05:18] som
    For cow's milk, we will use a powdered
     version intended for travel.
[05:21] som
    For eggs, wild bird eggs
    gathered from the local trees.
[05:25] som
    For sugar, I will substitute
    baum sugar from the shelves.
[05:28] som
    What are you making with all that?
[05:31] dad
    It is referred to here as
    "coarse flour souffle."
[05:34] som
    Is it cake?!
[05:36] dad
    It may be a similar product.
[05:38] som
    I bet cake is even better at night...
[05:43] dad
    Shall we begin?
[05:44] som
    I'll help!
[05:54] dad
    First, we must separate
    the yolks from the eggs.
[05:57] dad
    We add baum sugar to the yolks
[05:59] dad
    and mix well.
[06:02] dad
    We add half of the flour to
    the baking powder and mix.
[06:05] dad
    We dissolve the powdered milk in water,
[06:07] dad
    add the remaining flour,
[06:09] dad
    and blend thoroughly.
[06:13] som
    Hey, Dad!
[06:15] som
    Are we using the rest of
    the eggs? Can I eat them?
[06:19] dad
    The consumption of raw eggs is dangerous.
[06:21] dad
    And they will be used in the recipe later.
[06:24] som
    Aww...
[06:28] dad
    The next step is...
[06:31] dad
    Add a small amount of baum
    sugar to the egg whites,
[06:34] dad
    then whip until fluffy and cloud-like.
[06:38] som
    Cloud-like?
[06:41] dad
    I will mix it and see.
[06:52] dad
    What do you think?
[06:54] som
    It looks like a cloud!
[06:56] som
    You did a good job, Dad!
[06:58] dad
    We now add this to the earlier batter,
[07:02] dad
    and mix carefully, preserving the foam.
[07:05] dad
    Line a mold with butter,
[07:07] dad
    sprinkle it with sugar,
    then pour in the batter.
[07:14] dad
    After baking in the oven for seven turns
    of the hourglass, it will be complete.
[07:25] som
    Dad?
[07:27] dad
    Yes?
[07:29] som
    I'm so glad you're my dad.
[07:35] dad
    Are you?
[07:37] som
    Uh-huh.
[07:59] dad
    Somali.
[08:02] dad
    Somali.
[08:05] som
    Dad?
[08:07] dad
    It is complete, Somali.
[08:11] som
    It looks so good! Can I eat it?
[08:14] dad
    If you wish.
[08:15] dad
    But exercise caution so
    you are not burned.
[08:17] som
    Okay!
[08:32] dad
    How is the taste?
[08:38] dad
    What is the matter?
[08:39] dad
    Was an egg shell left inside?
[08:41] som
    No... it's so good, I couldn't help but cry.
[08:49] dad
    An exaggerated response.
[08:50] som
    It's not exaggerated!
[08:53] som
    I'm really happy I got to eat
    the first thing you ever cooked!
[08:59] dad
    Are you?
[09:00] som
    Yeah!
[09:02] dad
    It will cool quickly.
[09:04] dad
    Eat it while it remains hot.
[09:05] ---
    Okay!
[09:18] som
    Dad...
[09:19] dad
    Quiet.
[09:21] dad
    Keep your voice down.
[09:41] yaba
    Excuse me.
[09:42] yaba
    Could we ask for shelter for the—
[09:47] dad
    You...
[09:48] shi
    Hold on! Is that you, Mr. Golem?
[09:51] shi
    So that means...
[09:53] som
    Shizuno! Yabashira!
[09:56] shi
    What a lifesaver!
[09:59] shi
    Spending a night out in rain like that
    is a surefire way to catch a cold.
[10:03] som
    It's been such a long time, Shizuno!
[10:05] shi
    I think you've grown since
    I last saw you, Somali.
[10:08] som
    Really?!
[10:09] shi
    Oh, yeah.
[10:10] shi
    You're such a big girl now.
[10:12] shi
    I sure am glad to see you again!
[10:14] som
    Yeah!
[10:15] som
    We've got a bond!
[10:17] yab
    Bond?
[10:19] dad
    She seems to have certain
    opinions on that subject.
[10:22] som
    Yeah, I do!
[10:27] som
    Dad made it for me!
[10:30] yab
    Hey, not bad.
[10:32] dad
    It was simply a matter of
    following instructions.
[10:35] shi
    Isn't that great? He kept his promise!
[10:38] ---
    Yeah!
[10:39] shi
    Say, you mind if we have some?
[10:42] dad
    I do not object.
[10:43] yab
    Then let's eat it together!
[10:45] som
    Yeah, let's eat!
[10:48] yab
    What's the matter?
[10:49] som
    Oh, um...
[10:51] som
    I'm sleepy, so I'm going to bed now!
[10:54] som
    See you tomorrow!
[11:04] som
    What do I do?
[11:08] som
    My tooth's all wiggly...
[11:21] shi
    Here!
[11:22] shi
    Want one, Somali dear?
[11:24] som
    No, not right now!
[11:27] shi
    You've seemed a little listless today.
[11:29] som
    R-Really?
[11:31] som
    I'm totally normal!
[11:39] yaba
    Is that it?
[11:41] dad
    That is Bygone City?
[11:43] yaba
    It'd be nice to find lodging in another city,
[11:47] yaba
    but I hope you'll bear with us.
[11:48] shi
    We need to restock, anyway.
[12:02] dad
    This city has a rather savage air.
[12:06] yaba
    You get thieves and pickpockets
    everywhere here in the lawless reaches.
[12:09] yaba
    It's a hive of black markets full of
    poached and smuggled items, too.
[12:15] shizu
    Hardly a place for a pacifistic
    man of culture like myself.
[12:19] dad
    Why did you come to this city, then?
[12:23] shi
    I heard that the greatest practitioner
    from the dentician city of Chewton
[12:27] ---
    was taking a trip here.
[12:29] shi
    I was hoping I could learn
    some things from him!
[12:33] som
    Dentician?
[12:35] yam
    They sort of fix toothaches...
[12:37] yam
    It's a doctor who specializes
    in teeth, I guess.
[12:42] dad
    I have read of this phenomenon.
[12:45] dad
    Generally speaking, a damaged
    tooth would have to be pulled.
[12:51] som
    Pull my... tooth?
[12:53] shi
    One, two, three!
[12:56] shi
    Come on, let's go!
[13:02] shi
    There it is!
[13:04] shi
    That's the place!
[13:09] shi
    Coming in!
[13:11] shi
    How strange. No one's here.
[13:14] sowa
    Excuse me!
[13:16] sowa
    I dunno who you are, but ya
     better watch your step!
[13:21] dad
    I hear a voice, but I see no one present.
[13:25] sowa
    I'm here! Right here!
[13:27] sowa
    Sheesh. What good's having
    eyes if ya don't use 'em?
[13:32] sowa
    The name's Sowak.
[13:33] sowa
    I'm hydromys clan, if it
    weren't obvious enough.
[13:36] shi
    Dentician is a profession reserved for your
    clan because of its diminutive size, isn't it?
[13:41] so
    Yeah!
[13:42] so
    'Cause we gotta go inside the mouths
    to fix the messed-up teeth.
[13:47] som
    You go inside the mouths?
[13:50] sow
    Now! You wanna hear how I work, do ya?
[13:54] shi
    Absolutely!
[13:55] sow
    Cheeky little kid.
[13:57] sow
    Open those ears and listen close, now!
[14:00] sow
    First, I secure the patient's
    mouth. Then I go inside!
[14:04] shi
    That's an impressively vivid starting image!
[14:06] sow
    Then I carefully examine
    the teeth from within.
[14:11] sow
    If I find a cavity-ridden tooth,
    I shave down the damaged area!
[14:17] sow
    Then I apply medicine and add a cap.
[14:20] ---
    There are two kinds of caps: one made
    of transparent sap mixed with medicine,
[14:24] ---
    and one made of silver designed
    to look like a tooth.
[14:29] ---
    If I had to drill a big hole,
    I use the sturdy silver cap.
[14:31] ---
    For a small hole, I use the sap cap.
[14:34] ---
    But if it's in really bad shape...
[14:35] ---
    I'll hafta yank it out from the root!
[14:39] ---
    If I get you treated early,
    it probably won't be too bad.
[14:44] ---
    But if it's too late,
    there's no other option.
[14:47] ---
    So take care of your teeth, folks!
[14:49] ---
    Once you lose 'em, they never grow back!
[14:55] shi
    Say, is anyone hungry?
[14:57] yaba
    We can eat after we secure our lodging.
[15:00] shi
    Aww...
[15:01] dad
    Somali.
[15:02] som
    Wh-What?!
[15:04] dad
    Your behavior today has
    shown signs of aberrance.
[15:07] dad
    Has something happened?
[15:09] dad
    Is it your mouth? Let me see it.
[15:12] som
    It's n-n-nothing!
[15:15] dad
    Somali.
[15:16] som
    It's too late. The tooth's gonna come out!
[15:18] som
    What do I do?!
[15:23] man
    That hurt!
[15:26] man
    What's your problem, kid?
[15:31] dad
    Are you all right, Somali?
[15:33] man
    You're the kid's guardian, huh?
[15:35] man
    You'd better pay us for that insult.
[15:38] man
    1,000 monee each should cover it.
[15:42] dad
    I lack that amount.
[15:44] man
    You don't get how this works, do you?
[15:46] man
    Give us what you've got, then.
[15:48] man
    This is a place where
    might makes right, y'see.
[15:52] yaba
    I see. Is that how it works?
[15:55] yaba
    In that case...
[15:58] man
    H-Hey! What are you—
[16:01] dad
    You said that might makes
    right here, did you not?
[16:03] man
    Hey, wai—
[16:08] man
    Damn! You wanna start something?
[16:10] yama
    Just adapting to the local customs!
[16:16] man
    I can take that little one...
[16:18] shi
    Step back, Somali.
[16:20] som
    Okay!
[16:32] man
    You little ru—
[16:38] shi
    Better luck next time!
[16:40] man
    You'll pay for this!
[16:41] yaba
    Yeah, yeah.
[16:43] dad
    Somali.
[16:45] dad
    What is the matter?
[16:47] dad
    Were you harmed?
[16:48] som
    Dad...
[16:50] som
    My tooth... came out!
[16:54] dad
    What did you say?
[16:55] som
    What do I do?
[16:57] som
    The guy said... it'll never grow back...
[17:03] shi
    Say, are you sure it's not a baby tooth?
[17:07] dad
    A baby tooth?
[17:11] sowa
    Is that what's got you
    both in such a tizzy?
[17:15] dad
    I had no knowledge of the
    replacement of a child's teeth.
[17:18] sowa
    Don't worry, now.
[17:20] sowa
    You've got fine dentition,
    and no signs of damage.
[17:22] sowa
    Just wait a while, and a new
    tooth'll grow in its place!
[17:27] sowa
    Oh, I know!
[17:31] dad
    What is this?
[17:32] sow
    A practice amongst us denticians.
[17:34] sow
    Some folks like to keep the
    baby teeth as a memento.
[17:37] sow
    You can have it.
[17:40] dad
    Unfortunately, we are travelers.
[17:42] dad
    It is necessary that we travel light.
[17:44] so
    Oh, really?
[17:46] so
    Then I can take the tooth—
[17:49] dad
    No...
[17:51] dad
    Perhaps I will take it, after all.
[17:57] dad
    As a memento.
[17:59] som
    Yeah!
[18:05] shi
    You see all the little holes in the disk?
[18:08] shi
    That's how many teeth you have left to lose.
[18:12] som
    I can't wait to fill them all in!
[18:15] dad
    Indeed.
[18:17] yaba
    But what's wrong with this place?
[18:19] yaba
    I can't find a single vacancy anywhe—
[18:22] man
    Been looking for you.
[18:24] man
    The ones who beat up that
    band of young fellas...
[18:27] man
    It was you guys, right?
[18:31] yaba
    Never a moment's peace.
[18:34] gol
    Do you require something from us?
[18:39] man
    I tell you, it was quite the show!
[18:44] man
    Seems you're having trouble
    finding lodging for the night.
[18:48] man
    I'll give you a place to stay.
[18:51] man
    In exchange, could I ask for your help?
[18:55] dad
    Please explain.
[18:56] man
    I run an inn, see.
[18:59] man
    But it becomes a real struggle
    during the snowcrossing.
[19:02] som
    Snowcrossing?
[19:07] man
    See? It's coming down now!
[19:09] man
    The weather's pretty extreme
    in this part of the world.
[19:13] man
    For a good week, snow falls like
    water from an overturned cistern.
[19:18] man
    We call it the snowcrossing.
[19:21] man
    Bygone's never exactly a safe place to be,
[19:24] man
    but in snowcrossing season, we get more
    travelers, and things get tougher.
[19:28] man
    Quarrels between travelers,
    thefts, deadbeats...
[19:32] man
    And so!
[19:34] man
    I'd like to ask you fine
    fellas to be my bodyguards.
[19:39] yaba
    Bodyguards?
[19:41] man
    Not for free, obviously.
[19:43] man
    I have a little place on the edge of town.
[19:46] man
    I'll let you use it as a lodging.
[19:49] man
    It's much safer than the inns in town,
[19:51] man
    and I won't charge you for the stay.
[19:54] man
    Not a bad deal, eh?
[20:00] shi
    A nice little house, and well-kept, at that.
[20:03] yaba
    Bodyguarding really isn't my bag, though.
[20:06] dad
    A promise is a promise.
[20:08] dad
    Beginning tomorrow, we must work
    together to guard the innkeeper.
[20:12] yaba
    I hear you.
[20:32] shi
    How is she?
[20:34] dad
    Sudden cold spells tend to
    trigger sneezing fits in her.
[20:38] dad
    Her young body seems highly
    susceptible to the cold of the snow.
[20:41] shi
    You really know her well, huh?
[20:46] yaba
    Okay, the breakfast prep is done.
[20:50] yaba
    I'm going to get some rest
    in preparation for tomorrow.
[20:55] gol
    Yes.
[20:56] shi
    Goodnight!
[21:05] shi
    Say...
[21:08] shi
    I've been wondering.
[21:11] shi
    Somali...
[21:13] shi
    She's...
[21:15] shi
    human, isn't she?
[21:20] dad
    How long have you known?
[21:22] shi
    From the moment we first met,
    I felt something was off.
[21:26] shi
    Like the way her blood smelled
    when she was injured...
[21:30] dad
    I see.
[21:33] shi
    Could I ask a question?
[21:35] shi
    Why is a golem like you playing
    father to a human girl?
[21:42] dad
    It is not a thing I sought out for myself.
[21:45] dad
    I believe that, simply,
[21:49] dad
    on that day, long ago,
[21:51] dad
    I ceased being simply the
    guardian of the forest,
[21:55] dad
    and acquired the qualities of an individual.
[21:59] dad
    As a father to protect her.
