[00:05] (Flashback) MANSO
    Have your share of the godstone.
[00:11] (Flashback) ONE-EYED ORG
    Tanagaha.
[00:14] (Flashback) KAI
    Come on, fire magic!
[00:18] KAI/ID
    It's like my life is being drained away.
SIGN    Lady Jose
[02:01] NA
    "Lady Jose".
[02:49] KAI
    I'm out of spiritual energy.
[02:53] KAI
    If I eat this...
[03:15] KAI
    Come to think of it, this is the first
    time I've eaten an entire godstone myself.
[03:22] KAI
    It's deep and won't stop bleeding.
[03:26] KAI
    I'm done for.
[03:33] KAI
    It's so pretty.
[03:36] KAI
    At least I get to die while looking at this.
[03:40] KAI
    But still... I didn't want to die...
[03:54] CARICK
    What are you doing, Manso?
    The battle's over.
[03:59] CARICK
    By the way, where's that
    newbie who's always with you?
[04:08] CARICK
    Forget about him. This always happens.
[04:44] KAI
    I thought I died.
[04:48] KAI
    I'm alive?
[04:50] KAI
    But I was badly injured.
[04:53] KAI
    It doesn't hurt. It's been healed.
[04:56] KAI
    But how?
[04:58] KAI
    Because I ate the org's godstone?
[05:00] KAI
    But a night's sleep shouldn't
    have healed that wound.
[05:05] KAI
    What's this?
[05:07] KAI
    It's covered in ivy.
[05:10] KAI
    It feels nostalgic somehow.
[05:15] KAI
    There's something carved into it.
[05:18] KAI
    Is this carved all over it?
[05:21] KAI
    In that case... fire magic!
[05:27] KAI
    Why was that so powerful?
[05:34] KAI
    Is this... a Divine Crest?
[05:38] KAI
    The sign of a guardian bearer...
[05:43] KAI
    I-It disappeared.
[05:48] KAI
    What is this?
[05:50] KAI
    I've never seen these characters before.
[05:53] KAI
    I don't get it.
[05:55] KAI
    There's no way I'm a guardian
    bearer with a Divine Crest.
[05:59] KAI
    This looks climbable.
[06:02] KAI
    I'd better get back to the others.
[06:11] KAI
    Are the stones here soft?
[06:14] KAI
    Huh? Was that my power?
[06:16] VALLEY GOD
    Go.
[06:17] KAI
    What?
[06:32] KAI
    Did I do that?
[06:44] KAI
    This power is unbelievable.
[06:47] KAI
    It'll be even more of an incredible
    ability than that magic stuff.
[06:51] KAI
    Is it really the power of a
    god's protection, though?
[06:55] KAI
    They say it's granted to people by
    land gods, but when did I get mine?
[07:00] KAI
    While I was unconscious?
[07:02] KAI
    If I really am a guardian bearer now,
[07:05] KAI
    then maybe I can eat as much as I want!
[07:08] KAI
    No, wait a minute.
[07:11] KAI
    Is it possible that I'm not a guardian bearer
    even though I have a Divine Crest?
[07:15] KAI
    For now, I won't tell the others.
[07:20] LAG VILLAGER
    There's more over here!
[07:24] KAI
    Hey!
[07:26] KAI
    Guys!
[07:27] MANSO
    That kid...
[07:37] LAG WOMAN A
    Hurry up. That's your job.
[07:41] MEN
    Yeah, yeah.
[07:46] AKIZA
    Hey, Kai!
[07:49] AKIZA
    Hold up!
[07:51] KAI
    What?
[07:52] KAI
    Huh?
[07:54] AKIZA
    How much are you gonna plow by yourself?
[07:57] KAI
    When did I do all of this?
[08:00] KAI
    Was I exerting myself that much?
[08:04] KAI
    My Divine Crest's not visible.
[08:07] KAI
    So it doesn't appear unless
    I'm trying my hardest?
[08:11] AKIZA
    There's something wrong with you.
[08:14] AKIZA
    Why are you so strong now?
[08:16] KAI
    Well, uh...
[08:20] KAI
    I actually ate my fill of godstones.
[08:22] AKIZA
    What?
[08:23] KAI
    During the battle at Banya Village,
    a bunch of orgs were slain in the forest.
[08:28] KAI
    I ate a couple dozen of theirs.
[08:30] RAHAT
    You ate that many by yourself?
[08:33] KAI
    I was hungry and injured,
    so I couldn't restrain myself.
[08:38] MANSO
    No wonder you're so strong now.
[08:41] MANSO
    I heard someone grew like crazy
    after eating a ton of godstones.
[08:46] TURAL
    I've heard about that, too.
[08:49] MANSO
    Nobody gets that many godstones to
    themselves unless it's during a battle.
[08:53] MANSO
    Looks like you found that
    incredible ability of yours.
[08:57] KAI
    Ow! That hurts!
[09:00] KAI
    C'mon!
[09:01] LAG WOMAN A
    Elsa, what are you looking at?
[09:02] ELSA
    Huh?
[09:03] LAG WOMAN A
    Has someone caught your eye?
[09:07] ELSA
    It's not like that.
[09:13] JOSE
    How are preparations coming along?
[09:14] BASCO
    Your Highness.
[09:16] BASCO
    See for yourself.
[09:17] JOSE
    Looks good.
[09:18] BASCO
    Since they're for grave offerings,
    I chose the best ones.
[09:23] JOSE
    Good.
[09:24] BASCO
    Remote lands like ours are meager,
    but we're able to grow crops like these
[09:29] BASCO
    thanks to the deeds of our baron
    and the land god within him.
[09:37] BASCO
    Guardian bearers are the protectors of the land.
[09:39] BASCO
    Their strength makes the land fertile.
[09:45] KAI
    No one's here today either.
[09:49] KAI
    Focus.
[09:51] KAI
    Come on, fire magic!
[09:55] KAI
    It worked.
[09:57] KAI
    I don't feel my spiritual
    energy depleting either.
[10:00] KAI
    There's no doubt I have
    an incredible power now.
[10:03] KAI
    But is it really the power of a god's protection?
[10:06] JOSE
    Who's there?
[10:08] KAI
    Huh?
[10:09] KAI
    Lady Jose! Wh-What's the baron's
    daughter doing here?
[10:14] JOSE
    Your finger...
[10:15] KAI
    Uh, sorry!
[10:17] JOSE
    Wait.
[10:18] JOSE
    What were you doing here?
[10:20] JOSE
    I'm not letting you leave until you tell me.
[10:25] JOSE
    Do I have it right?
[10:27] JOSE
    You tried producing flame like an ability
    you'd heard about, and it worked?
[10:32] KAI
    Yes, that's correct.
[10:35] JOSE
    Sounds like you have the
    makings of an ability user.
[10:39] KAI
    An ability user?
[10:41] JOSE
    People who use mysterious
    abilities that seem impossible.
[10:45] JOSE
    That's what they call
    members of special families
[10:47] JOSE
    from the central region and a handful of monks.
[10:50] KAI
    Ability... Not magic?
[10:54] JOSE
    "Magic"?
[10:55] KAI
    Nothing.
[10:57] JOSE
    That's odd, though.
[10:58] KAI
    What?
[10:59] JOSE
    You hardly seem tired.
[11:03] JOSE
    I heard you became powerful after
    eating a bunch of godstones.
[11:07] KAI
    Yes.
[11:08] JOSE
    I see.
[11:10] JOSE
    So you're fine after using an ability because
    you have more spiritual energy than normal.
[11:14] JOSE
    Then you must be stronger in all kinds of ways.
[11:18] JOSE
    You're going to train with me.
[11:22] KAI
    What?
[11:28] KAI/ID
    So this is what a guardian bearer can do.
[11:33] JOSE
    You're only this strong after
    eating those godstones?
[11:36] KAI/ID
    I don't know how powerful I am yet, but...
[11:41] KAI
    I accept your challenge!
[11:43] JOSE
    Let's go!
[11:51] KAI
    Seems like my Divine Crest
    didn't appear during training.
[11:55] KAI
    So I took on Lady Jose
    without trying my hardest.
[11:58] JOSE
    Kai! Could you bring me some water, too?
[12:01] KAI
    Coming!
[12:08] KAI
    Huh?
[12:09] JOSE
    Hurry up.
[12:10] KAI
    Oh, right. Here.
[12:14] KAI
    U-Um...
[12:16] JOSE
    What is it?
[12:18] KAI
    I-I...
[12:20] KAI
    I thought all guardian
    bearers were equally strong.
[12:26] JOSE
    I suppose I'm still weak.
[12:29] KAI
    Th-That's not what I meant.
[12:30] JOSE
    My father and brother are far stronger than me.
[12:34] JOSE
    A guardian bearer's strength varies according
    to the strength of their land god.
[12:39] JOSE
    But the guardian bearer herself must
    also train and become stronger.
[12:44] JOSE
    I still lack training.
[12:47] KAI
    But you don't need to train so much.
[12:49] JOSE
    Are you saying women don't need to be strong
    because they don't have to go into battle?
[12:53] KAI
    Huh?
[12:55] JOSE
    Even female guardian bearers
    are protectors of the land.
[12:58] JOSE
    There always comes a time when we must fight.
[13:01] KAI
    S-Sorry...
[13:03] JOSE
    Besides, guardian bearers become
    strong to win battles, of course,
[13:10] JOSE
    but that's not the only reason.
[13:12] KAI
    Huh?
[13:15] JOSE
    It's this time already?
[13:16] JOSE
    People will start waking up.
[13:18] JOSE
    I can't allow myself to be seen.
[13:21] JOSE
    My father doesn't know I train like this.
[13:23] KAI
    Lady Jose, what do you mean
    it's not just to win battles?
[13:28] JOSE
    I wish I could tell you more, but...
[13:31] JOSE
    I know.
[13:32] JOSE
    I'll be doing my monthly grave-cleaning soon.
[13:36] JOSE
    Kai, you should come with me.
[13:38] KAI
    To clean a grave?
[13:40] JOSE
    My land god is enshrined in Eda Village.
[13:44] JOSE
    I'll arrange for you to accompany me.
[13:47] JOSE
    I'll tell you the rest there.
[13:49] KAI
    Okay...
[13:57] MANSO
    Keep your wits about you.
[13:58] MANSO
    These days, Eda Village is ape territory.
[14:02] AKIZA
    We'll be fine.
    There haven't been any attacks recently.
[14:05] MANSO
    It's guys who say that who get got first.
[14:08] TURAL
    Kai, are the rumors true?
[14:10] KAI
    What?
[14:11] TURAL
    That our squad was assigned
    to escort Lady Jose
[14:14] TURAL
    because she asked for you personally.
[14:16] KAI
    What?! Well...
[14:18] MANSO
    There's no way.
[14:20] MANSO
    Lady Jose doesn't know who Kai is.
[14:23] TURAL
    Oh, right.
[14:24] RAHAT
    But some people believe the rumors.
[14:36] FLYNN
    This village used to belong
    to the Moloch family.
[14:41] FLYNN
    They were forced to abandon it
    after repeated demi-human attacks.
[14:46] FLYNN
    But there's still a gravestone here,
[14:49] FLYNN
    and we mustn't be impious towards the land gods.
[14:52] TURAL
    Hey, over here!
[14:53] FLYNN
    We can't neglect to pay
    our respects to the dead.
[14:56] KAI
    It's completely overrun.
[14:57] FLYNN
    This used to be a field.
[15:00] FLYNN
    Now the land itself is barren.
[15:03] KAI
    There's no one here to plow it.
[15:06] FLYNN
    That's not all.
[15:07] KAI
    Huh?
[15:08] FLYNN
    The land god's grace has dwindled
    and isn't reaching the land.
[15:14] KAI
    God's grace...
[15:16] FLYNN
    That's right. It's what allows
    crops to grow in the land.
[15:22] JOSE
    Flynn, I'd like to take a
    look around the village.
[15:26] FLYNN
    Then I'll escort you.
[15:28] JOSE
    That boy will do.
[15:29] KAI
    Who, me?
[15:32] KAI
    Lady Jose, where are we going?
[15:43] KAI
    Huh?
[15:44] KAI
    Lady Jose, what are you...?
[15:46] JOSE
    Quiet.
[15:55] JOSE
    I was praying for the god's grace to gather here.
[16:01] JOSE
    Only guardian bearers tied to
    the land's god can do that.
[16:07] KAI
    Guardian bearers can do that?
[16:10] JOSE
    As you just saw.
[16:13] JOSE
    But the land god's spirit has weakened
    because Eda Village was abandoned.
[16:19] JOSE
    As this village's guardian bearer,
    I too am weak.
[16:23] JOSE
    All I can do right now is barely
    maintain this little flower garden.
[16:30] KAI
    Weak?
[16:33] JOSE
    For example, Lag Village's crops grow
    well because my father is strong.
[16:33] MANSO
    Let's bring the offerings inside.
[16:35] MANSO
    Anyone who's available, lend us a hand.
[16:39] JOSE
    It's very important for a
    land's lord to be strong.
[16:43] JOSE
    My father never neglects his training
    so that he can always be strong.
[16:49] JOSE
    That's why we eat so many godstones, too.
[16:53] JOSE
    Guardian bearers who have contracts with land
    gods receive more favor the stronger they are.
[17:00] JOSE
    It makes their land fertile.
[17:02] KAI
    And that's how we eat.
[17:05] JOSE
    Not only that, but it makes
    the land god stronger, too.
[17:09] KAI
    So you don't just get stronger to win battles.
[17:13] JOSE
    That's right.
[17:16] FLYNN SQUAD A
    Nothing unusual inside.
[17:18] FLYNN
    Good work.
[17:19] FLYNN
    Squad one, stay here to guard the area.
[17:21] FLYNN
    The rest of us will go down with Lady Jose.
[17:33] KAI
    So this is the land god's gravestone.
[17:36] KAI
    This writing was on the
    stone in the valley, too.
[17:40] KAI
    Does that mean that was
    a land god's gravestone?
[17:50] KAI
    "I, Eydalen, am your servant."
[17:55] KAI
    "I serve the god Lagdaratohka."
[17:59] KAI
    I can read it when I touch it.
[18:06] FLYNN
    Okay, let's line up the offerings.
[18:13] KAI
    Why can't I read this?
[18:17] KAI
    No, I know what each word is.
[18:20] KAI
    "Temple." "Pact."
[18:23] KAI
    But they don't form a sentence.
[18:25] JOSE
    What is it?
[18:26] KAI
    Huh?
[18:28] JOSE
    You're mumbling to yourself.
[18:32] KAI
    Uh, it's nothing.
[18:41] MACAQUE B
    Zeselotta.
[18:43] MACAQUE C
    Kwatta jinzesei.
[18:50] KAI
    I didn't realize
[18:52] KAI
    you were trying to become
    strong for Eda Village.
[18:59] JOSE
    Someday I hope to rebuild Eda Village.
[19:03] JOSE
    I received the protection of Eydalen,
    the land god of Eda Village.
[19:09] JOSE
    That makes me responsible for this land.
[19:11] KAI
    Responsible...
[19:13] JOSE
    I will become stronger and reclaim this village.
[19:17] JOSE
    I'll grow all kinds of crops and
    make the flowers I love bloom.
[19:22] JOSE
    Lots of people will live here.
[19:27] JOSE
    That is my wish and responsibility.
[19:32] KAI
    Yeah.
[19:33] AKIZA
    Let me join you when you do that.
[19:36] RAHAT
    Me, too.
[19:37] TURAL
    Me, too.
[19:37] JOSE
    A-All right.
[19:40] KAI/ID
    A guardian bearer has a responsibility
[19:44] KAI/ID
    to the land, the gods, and the people.
[19:48] KAI/ID
    Then what about me?
[19:50] KAI/ID
    What's my land? My god?
[19:53] KAI/ID
    My responsibility?
[19:54] FLYNN SQUAD B
    Come outside, quickly! Something's coming!
[19:59] FLYNN
    Where is the enemy coming from?
[20:00] FLYNN SQUAD B
    From the back. We believe they're macaques.
[20:03] FLYNN
    Manso, have your squad escort Lady Jose
    and escape out the front.
[20:07] MANSO
    Got it.
[20:08] LAG SOLDIER C
    Hide the grave.
[20:12] FLYNN
    The rest of you, engage the enemy at the back!
[20:14] JOSE
    Flynn, I'll fight with you.
[20:17] FLYNN
    You mustn't.
[20:18] FLYNN
    You're too important.
    You must return safely to Lag Village.
[20:23] JOSE
    I'm a guardian bearer.
[20:24] FLYNN
    Forgive me, but you have no
    actual battle experience.
[20:29] FLYNN
    Please go.
[20:31] MANSO
    Lady Jose, this way.
[20:34] LAG SOLDIER D
    They're here.
[20:35] LAG SOLDIER D
    Two macaques.
[20:36] MACAQUE A
    Bumi tessagenba!
[20:38] FLYNN
    Don't let your guard down!
[20:42] MANSO
    Stop!
[20:44] AKIZA
    There's one over here, too.
[20:50] JOSE
    You'll pay for that!
[20:51] KAI
    Lady Jose!
[20:52] JOSE
    This is my village!
[20:54] KAI
    Manso, there's another one.
[21:01] JOSE
    I am Jose, daughter of Moloch Vezin!
[21:03] JOSE
    Behold the power of the land
    god that resides within me!
[21:12] KAI
    Lady Jose!
[21:18] FLYNN
    Macaques showed up at the front, too?
[21:40] FLYNN
    Did you kill it?
[21:44] JOSE
    What?
[21:45] RAHAT
    Manso! Is that all of them?
[21:47] MANSO
    Yeah.
[21:49] KAI
    Are you all right, Lady Jose?
[21:51] JOSE
    What?
[23:25] SIGN
