**[02:15] Kira**
Doctor! Hinako has a horrible fever.
**[02:34] Koushi**
Kanata!
**[02:36] Koushi**
Kanata, move! She has a bad fever
and needs a doctor right away!
**[02:54] Kira**
Hurry. Take her to my room.
**[02:56] Kira**
Stop! What's gotten into you, Kanata?
**[02:58] Kira**
Hinako might die! Kanata!
**[03:15] Koushi**
Kanata, why are you being like this?
**[03:25] Hibana**
Kira, get away from that dog.
**[03:42] Yuoshichi**
I don't believe it. Why *now*, of all times?
**[03:46] Hibana**
Stay with the dog and see that
it causes no more trouble.
**[03:56] Koushi**
Kanata?
**[04:35] Kira**
Mother, is Hinako really
going to the hospital?
**[04:39] Kira**
Mother!
**[04:41] Hibana**
She's only going in for observation.
Don't make a fuss.
**[04:45] Kira**
For observation?
Is... Is Hinako's fever that serious?
**[04:52] Kureha**
Please calm yourself, Miss.
**[04:54] Kureha**
She'll stay at Dr. Takimi's
clinic for a thorough—
**[04:57] Kira**
Stop! Don't you lie, too.
**[05:00] Kira**
If that's all it is, why won't
the doctor tell me anything?
**[05:06] Kira**
Mother, tell me the truth!
What's happening to Hinako?
**[05:11] Hibana**
Like I said, that's what the
doctors are going to find out.
**[05:15] Kira**
This house is full of lies!
**[05:17] Kira**
I've had enough of it!
**[05:19] Kira**
We're family, but we never say
one word of truth to each other!
**[05:23] Kira**
Father has so many secrets.
And so do you, Mother.
**[05:27] Kira**
Where are you taking Hinako?!
**[05:38] Hibana**
Take her to her room.
**[05:40] Hibana**
Dr. Takimi, look after Kira.
**[06:03] Koushi**
Hina—
**[06:20] Koushi**
Hinako...
**[06:47] Takimi**
Mrs. Okibi!
**[06:50] Takimi**
Mrs. Okibi...
**[07:01] Koushi**
Kanata?
**[07:02] Koushi**
Follow Hinako!
**[07:16] Koushi**
I know this smell.
**[07:19] Koushi**
Asafuyou?
**[07:22] Hibana**
Catch her.
**[07:24] Hibana**
Catch that girl.
***SIGN*** E
**[07:30] Kaho**
Good morning.
**[07:32] Kaho**
Hm? Where are Touko and Akira?
**[07:34] Kun**
The big lady and the
small lady are both gone?
**[07:39] Kaho**
Ma'am! Ma'am!
***SIGN*** Dear Kaho
***SIGN*** Rin
**[07:49] Shouzou**
Hm?
**[07:53] Mother**
"Dear Kaho..."
**[07:54] Mother**
"I know you'll be angry that I'm leaving,
so I won't tell you beforehand."
**[08:03] Mother**
"I'm going with Ms. Akira to
deliver a written appeal to the gods."
**[08:09] Mother**
"Thank you for everything."
**[08:12] Mother**
"I got this warding stone from my cousin."
***SIGN*** Rin
**[08:16] Mother**
"Consider it a parting gift to the bride
who has protected me this whole time."
**[08:22] Mother**
"I hope you have a good
life with Mr. Shouzou."
**[08:25] Mother**
"If we don't make it back,
please take care of Kun."
**[08:31] Mother**
Kaho, what is this?
**[08:34] Kun**
Where'd the ladies go?
**[08:38] Kaho**
They say they're taking a letter to the gods.
**[08:43] Kun**
I'll go, too! I've gotta save them!
**[08:47] Kaho**
No. They say they'll definitely
come back, so wait here.
**[08:51] Kun**
I'm going!
***SIGN*** Hibari and Akira and Touko
**[08:59] Akira**
The tunnel to the forest
is straight down this road.
**[09:05] Akira**
But if we circle around west to the old road,
we'll reach the cliffs below the palace.
**[09:12] Touko**
I wonder if Mr. Shouzou's dad works here, too.
**[09:22] Touko**
The capital sure has a lot of canals.
**[09:27] Akira**
Not long after the city was built,
a big fire broke out.
**[09:31] Akira**
They say every canal was clogged
with the bodies of people trying to escape.
**[09:37] Akira**
So now, the factory district canals have
pipes that spray water in emergencies.
**[09:45] Touko**
And that water will put out any fires?
**[09:48] Akira**
Well, that's the idea.
**[09:50] Touko**
Did the Lady Goddess's people make
that amazing system to protect humans?
**[09:56] Akira**
Who knows?
**[09:58] Akira**
If the gods really can control the wind
and the rain, they shouldn't need it.
**[10:06] Hibari**
You have quite a mouth on you.
**[10:13] Akira**
I remember you.
You're from the Wind Clan, right?
**[10:19] Akira**
Weren't you keeping tabs
on old Mr. Moneybags?
**[10:23] Akira**
What's a spymaster doing here?
**[10:28] Hibari**
I hear you plan to hunt the
child of the stars, fire hunter.
**[10:33] Akira**
I shouldn't have to tell you that
the spiders will reach the city soon.
**[10:39] Akira**
They want to eliminate your chief.
**[10:43] Akira**
And if the divine clans fall,
this country's people will fall with them.
**[10:48] Akira**
If you don't need to watch
Mr. Moneybags, forget roamers like me
**[10:53] Akira**
and go tighten up the security
around the Lady Goddess.
**[10:58] Hibari**
Do you imagine the Lady Goddess
lives a carefree life under our protection?
**[11:07] Hibari**
It takes more than that to reign
in the heart of government.
**[11:14] Hibari**
I'll show you.
**[11:21] God A**
The land has begun to
go awry everywhere, it seems.
**[11:27] Goddess B**
Lady Tayurahime cannot hold on.
It breaks my heart.
**[11:33] God C**
We must eliminate our lady's burden.
**[11:37] God C**
But can the Flickering Flame
serve as her replacement?
**[11:42] Goddess D**
Regarding that, we can only hope
our lady's prayers will be answered.
**[11:50] God E**
Lady Tayurahime requires fresh paper.
**[11:56] God F**
Not even our lady's prayers can ensure
the Flickering Flame will not be wrathful.
**[12:04] God G**
Creating more of the new race
should ease our lady's burden.
**[12:10] God H**
They live without fire, so at least
she need not waste her strength on wards.
**[12:20] Goddess I**
But that goes against
Lady Tokohanahime's will.
**[12:25] Goddess J**
Even so, society cannot
endure as things stand.
**[12:29] God K**
We must act before the spiders come.
**[12:33] God L**
The Flickering Flame's earthly
vessel remains incomplete.
**[12:39] God M**
A new vessel is needed.
**[12:43] Goddess N**
Yes. One we can use to
house her spirit for a time.
**[12:53] Hibari**
For centuries, we gods have fretted over
whether the coming child of the stars
**[13:01] Hibari**
will consent to becoming
our next Lady Goddess.
**[13:04] Hibari**
She's been floating alone
in the void, you see,
**[13:10] Hibari**
so her thoughts and powers
far surpass our own.
**[13:24] Akira**
Your *next* Lady Goddess?
**[13:26] Akira**
I thought the Flickering Flame was
a mechanical doll built by ancient humans?
**[13:33] Hibari**
Like Tayurahime and Tokohanahime,
to me, she is an elder sister.
**[13:40] Hibari**
I cannot permit any attempt to hunt her.
**[13:47] Akira**
Touko, hide!
**[14:51] Touko**
Did that happen because
it touched Ms. Akira's blood?
**[14:56] Hibari**
What a shame. Care to keep
trying until your blood runs dry?
**[15:44] Touko**
Kun!
**[15:49] Hibari**
A spider who commands insect familiars?
Now that's a surprise.
**[15:53] Akira**
Kun, why are you...
**[15:56] Kun**
If you kill her, I'll burn you.
**[16:00] Hibari**
You are merely a lowly outcast spider.
**[16:04] Hibari**
Do you want to taste my blades?
**[16:07] Akira**
You called her your sister, right?
**[16:10] Akira**
Then, if she's still alive,
why aren't you trying to help her?
**[16:16] Akira**
Why aren't you by her side?
**[16:21] Akira**
And that vision you showed us...
**[16:24] Akira**
Are you telling me all of those gods
can't make a place for humans to live
**[16:29] Akira**
without relying on a single
Lady Goddess for everything?
**[16:33] Akira**
Why doesn't anyone help her?
**[17:44] Touko**
You saved me.
**[17:48] Hinako**
I have to go or those people will die.
**[17:57] Hinako**
Thank you for Kanata.
**[18:01] Touko**
Wait, are you Mr. Koushi's...
**[18:09] Touko**
Wait!
**[18:26] Yuoshichi**
I'm truly sorry that it has come to this.
**[18:29] Yuoshichi**
My servants are combing
the whole city for Hinako.
**[18:34] Yuoshichi**
I promise we'll find her.
**[18:38] Koushi**
Isn't asafuyou illegal?
**[18:43] Yuoshichi**
My wife suffers from nervous breakdowns.
**[18:47] Yuoshichi**
She once used it in place of medicine.
Perhaps she's found a new supply.
**[18:59] (Flashback) Takimi**
Hinako must be a strong girl.
**[19:04] (Flashback) Takimi**
I will treat her to the best of my ability.
**[19:08] Koushi**
I'm sure Kanata will find her.
**[19:15] Roroku**
Hey there. What's got you looking so down?
**[19:19] Roroku**
Where's Mr. Okibi?
I've got urgent news for him.
**[19:24] Koushi**
I just saw him in his study.
**[19:26] Roroku**
Flame fiends have appeared...
**[19:29] Roroku**
in the factory district.
**[19:32] Koushi**
But the spiders shouldn't be here yet!
**[19:34] Roroku**
Exactly. There's still no sign of them.
**[19:38] Roroku**
The city has fire hunters on duty,
so the fiends haven't done much damage yet.
**[19:45] Roroku**
Still, I figured Mr. Okibi ought to know.
**[20:51] Narrator**
*Touko is past the point of no return.*
**[20:56] Narrator**
* Above her, a single speck of*
* light streaks across the sky.*
**[21:19] Narrator**
* Is this shining child of the stars*
* a portent of the spiders' invasion?*
**[21:26] Narrator**
* Or is it the last ray of hope*
* for this crumbling world?*
**[21:44] Kira**
Mother...
**[21:50] Kira**
Mother...
**[21:54] Kira**
Forgive me.
**[21:58] Narrator**
* The advent of the Millennial Comet,*
* the Flickering Flame, is close at hand.*
