**[02:27] Koushi**
Kanata?
**[02:28] Koushi**
What's wrong, Kanata?
**[02:31] Kun**
The small lady is calling?
**[02:35] Koushi**
Touko's in danger.
**[02:37] Koushi**
Kun, send your bugs.
**[02:47] Koushi**
Let's go, Kun.
**[02:49] Koushi**
And you, Roroku?
**[02:50] Roroku**
Mizore seems to have
taken a liking to Akira's dog.
**[02:55] Roroku**
I'll go find them.
**[02:58] Koushi**
I'm going to Touko.
**[03:01] Koushi**
Roroku... be safe.
**[03:05] Koushi**
Let's go, Kun.
**[03:08] Roroku**
I can't believe spiders
really can command bugs.
**[03:12] Roroku**
And I figured Koushi was just a cocky brat,
**[03:15] Roroku**
but I guess taking him
on that fiend hunt paid off.
**[03:19] Roroku**
Let's go, Mizore.
**[03:25] Flickering Flame**
Oh, it really is beautiful.
**[03:28] Flickering Flame**
A long time has passed since I last saw one,
**[03:32] Flickering Flame**
but I love what you make with paper, Hibari.
**[03:36] Flickering Flame**
But isn't it paper for writing on?
**[03:40] Hibari**
Our sister, Tayurahime, gave it to me.
**[03:44] Hibari**
She shared it with me quite some time ago.
**[03:50] Flickering Flame**
You still look like a child, Hibari.
**[03:53] Flickering Flame**
Though in truth, you must be one
of the oldest gods around now.
**[03:58] Flickering Flame**
So much time has passed since then, hasn't it?
**[04:02] Hibari**
But you've stayed a child, too, sister.
**[04:08] Flickering Flame**
That girl...
**[04:11] Hibari**
She's in league with a fire hunter who means
to hunt you, but shall I take her to the palace?
**[04:17] Flickering Flame**
That girl must go forth.
**[04:20] Flickering Flame**
There is a dog she must meet.
**[04:25] Hibari**
A dog?
**[04:29] Hibari**
Oh, now that you mention it,
she does usually have a hound by her side.
**[04:35] Flickering Flame**
Yes, like Tayura.
**[04:38] Flickering Flame**
Tayura had a dog by her side, too,
remember? A dog named En.
***SIGN*** Tayurahime
**[04:44] Hibari**
Will you go to our sister?
**[04:46] Flickering Flame**
Yes. I want to see Tayura.
**[04:51] Flickering Flame**
And send that girl home quick—
**[04:56] Hibari**
The divine clans have decided
to make you the next Lady Goddess.
**[05:01] Hibari**
You may wander into
the void, Flickering Flame,
**[05:06] Hibari**
but when your ordained duty
calls you back to this land,
**[05:09] Hibari**
you will succeed Lady Tayurahime.
**[05:14] Hibari**
That girl will be made your vessel.
**[05:18] Hibari**
Forcing the Lady Goddess
to bear a great burden alone
**[05:23] Hibari**
allows us to wield our divine power.
**[05:27] Hibari**
We govern the surviving humans.
**[05:31] Hibari**
Such a world cannot go on like this.
**[05:46] (Flashback) Kouhachi**
I must insist that the
young lady accompany me.
**[05:57] (Flashback) Flickering Flame**
I'll take you to where the dogs are.
**[06:03] Touko**
Kanata.
**[06:11] Kun**
I lost sight of Kanata.
**[06:13] Koushi**
If Kanata left, Touko must be nearby.
**[06:18] Koushi**
But why would Touko be in a factory?
**[06:22] Koushi**
I thought she escaped with those
other kids. What could have happened?
**[06:26] Koushi**
Kun, try to find Kanata again.
**[06:29] Kun**
The bugs are getting weak,
so I can't tell much.
**[06:32] Koushi**
Try, Kun. Your bugs are our only hope.
**[06:37] Kun**
I'll give it another shot.

**[07:47] Touko**
A collection truck?
**[07:56] Touko**
*Grandma.*
**[08:00] Touko**
*Aunt.*
**[08:06] Touko**
*Rin.*
**[09:17] Touko**
Whose footprints are those?
**[09:37] Touko**
Mr. Koushi... Ms. Akira... Kanata...
**[09:45] Touko**
Kanata!
**[09:51] Kun**
Kanata...
**[09:54] Kun**
Kanata found the small lady.
**[09:58] Koushi**
Where's Touko?
**[09:59] Kun**
The bugs are in bad shape,
so I can't see too good.
**[10:04] Kun**
There.
**[10:31] Koushi**
What is it? What's wrong, Kun?
**[10:33] Kun**
Well...
**[10:37] Kun**
A big tower and a big, black log.
**[10:42] Kun**
Just like the thing from before.
**[10:44] Koushi**
Kun, you mean Touko saw something...
something like the lightning cannon?
**[10:51] Koushi**
That must be Takiguchi's first cannon.
**[10:54] Kun**
Mister...
**[10:57] Kun**
A big shadow's coming at the small lady!
**[11:00] Koushi**
"A shadow" doesn't tell me
anything. What exactly—
**[11:03] Koushi**
An earthquake!
**[12:23] Touko**
The huge treefolk?
**[12:30] Touko**
You were in the forbidden quarter.
**[12:46] Yanagi**
Ah, I see you made it in one piece, too.
**[12:50] Kunugi**
The mole's friend, huh?
**[12:55] Touko**
Treefolk...
**[12:57] Touko**
But why are you aboveground?
**[13:00] Yanagi**
The gods collapsed the ground
to put out the spiders' fires.
**[13:06] Yanagi**
Thanks to that, Kunugi managed to
get free of that wall and come up here.
**[13:12] Touko**
Then, what about Ms. Kiri
and the other treefolk?
**[13:17] Yanagi**
Kiri and En fled.
**[13:19] Yanagi**
We don't know where Shuyu is.
**[13:22] Yanagi**
The others...
**[13:26] Touko**
A fiend killed Shuyu. I'm sorry.
**[13:31] Touko**
I couldn't do anything.
**[13:35] Yanagi**
I see.
**[13:38] Yanagi**
Sad as that is, you shouldn't
let it trouble you so much.
**[13:44] Yanagi**
We can't live long on the surface.
**[13:49] Touko**
What?
**[13:58] Yanagi**
There's nothing I... nothing we can do.
**[14:03] Yanagi**
I said we should just return to the soil,
**[14:07] Yanagi**
but Kunugi came aboveground,
hoping to make graves for our comrades.
**[14:13] Kunugi**
We must dig graves.
Graves for the treefolk.
**[14:18] Ruri-Matsuri**
If you want to make graves for your fellows,
bury the dead spiders first.
**[14:27] Ruri-Matsuri**
We can't leave corpses
lying around. Death defiles.
**[14:31] Ruri-Matsuri**
We must clear the area around the palace
before rot causes ghost lights.
**[14:39] Touko**
Kanata!
**[15:03] Yanagi**
You're Ruri-Matsuri of the Wood Clan.
**[15:08] Yanagi**
You remade us, the treefolk
of the forbidden quarter.
**[15:14] Ruri-Matsuri**
Oh? You have a good memory.
**[15:20] Yanagi**
I had nothing new to remember underground.
**[15:24] Yanagi**
Where is Kiri?
**[15:27] Yanagi**
You should be able to tell
even without putting down roots.
**[15:35] Ruri-Matsuri**
She seems to be tending to wounded humans.
**[15:39] Ruri-Matsuri**
Fitting for a treefolk's final task, I suppose.
**[15:44] Ruri-Matsuri**
The human girl called Hinako is with her.
**[15:49] Ruri-Matsuri**
Are you the one that good-for-nothing
Hibari has his eye on?
**[15:55] Ruri-Matsuri**
Hibari... The rest of us labor to put out fires,
calling rain, shifting canal water,
**[16:04] Ruri-Matsuri**
collapsing earth, and guiding
the fall of trees and buildings.
**[16:08] Ruri-Matsuri**
But he's only focused on the
Lady Goddess and the Millennial Comet.
**[16:14] Ruri-Matsuri**
He refuses to do real work.
**[16:29] Kunugi**
Trees are burning.
**[16:31] Yanagi**
Didn't the gods put out the spiders' fire?
**[16:35] Ruri-Matsuri**
Humans did this.
**[16:40] Touko**
Why would humans use fire?
Why would they burn trees?
**[16:45] Ruri-Matsuri**
The humans doing that
are caught in the spiders' web.
**[16:50] Ruri-Matsuri**
I knew some humans
secretly supported the spiders.
**[16:56] Ruri-Matsuri**
Not content to dig secret tunnels
beneath the factories,
**[17:00] Ruri-Matsuri**
they ignite their own bodies
to burn down factories and trees.
**[17:06] Touko**
They're burning themselves?
**[17:09] Mob**
The spiders have come!
The spiders really brought fire!
**[17:11] Mob**
Not filthy fiendfire! Purifying flame!
**[17:13] Mob**
The spiders will save us, even after we die!
**[17:13] Mob**
You must've seen that star fall!
The spiders will claim it and defeat the gods!
**[17:16] Mob**
The spiders are our true saviors!
**[17:17] Mob**
They'll liberate us! Liberate us!
**[17:19] Mob**
We'll be free!
**[17:22] Ruri-Matsuri**
Those humans believed that absurd story
about victims of the spiders' fire
**[17:28] Ruri-Matsuri**
reviving with bodies that don't burn.
**[17:31] Ruri-Matsuri**
And all of this because *he* never
alerted anyone to their activity.
**[17:38] Ruri-Matsuri**
I can't believe he kept
the keen-eared Wind Clan fooled.
**[17:43] Ruri-Matsuri**
The clans should have kept
a closer eye on that idiot.
**[17:51] Touko**
Do you mean... Mr. Hibari?
**[18:07] Touko**
I'll go with Kanata. We have to find Mr. Koushi.
**[18:12] Touko**
If you go to help Ms. Kiri, please
protect Hinako, the girl with her, too.
**[18:17] Touko**
She's part of this dog's family.
**[18:27] Koushi**
Kun, about that spider called On...
**[18:31] Kun**
On was with us in the forest.
**[18:34] Kun**
My dad said On was better
with blades than bugs.
**[18:43] Koushi**
What are the bugs that
stop you from burning like?
**[18:48] Kun**
I heard some special bugs were born.
**[18:52] Kun**
And once those bugs bit everyone,
going near fire didn't bother 'em.
**[18:59] Kun**
I was the only one the bugs didn't
work on, so they left me in the forest.
**[19:04] Kun**
My mom told me to become
part of the forest and left.
**[19:09] Koushi**
I see.
**[19:12] Koushi**
Could an insect really have that effect?
**[19:16] Koushi**
But the spiders *did* bring
ancient flame into the capital,
**[19:21] Koushi**
so they must at least have some way
to stop their own bodies from burning.
**[19:26] Koushi**
But even if they do, why would
they want to share it with humans?
**[19:34] (Flashback) On**
More than anyone,
humans should reclaim fire.
**[19:38] (Flashback) On**
Return to the era when you
boasted of controlling its might.
**[19:43] (Flashback) Koushi**
Why... Why do you care so much
about what humans do?
**[19:48] Koushi**
"That is humanity's true nature."
**[19:52] Koushi**
"That's the kind of creatures humans are."
**[19:55] (Flashback) On**
Didn't you kill your fair share
using the fallbeasts' power?
**[20:03] (Flashback) On**
Like the humans of the old world.
**[20:09] Koushi**
"That's the kind of creatures humans are."
**[20:13] Koushi**
"So reclaim fire."
**[20:16] Kun**
Mister?
**[20:21] Kun**
How do you think
Kanata found the small lady?
**[20:25] Koushi**
Kanata found who he ought
to protect on his own.
**[20:29] Kun**
On his own?
**[20:31] Koushi**
Fire hunters don't choose their hounds.
**[20:34] Koushi**
Hounds choose their fire hunters.
**[20:47] Koushi**
Kun, quick.
**[21:23] Kureha**
You mustn't go.
**[21:30] Kureha**
You mustn't go.
**[21:33] Koushi**
Don't, Kun.
**[21:38] Koushi**
Didn't you work for the Okibis?
**[21:42] Kureha**
You mustn't go any farther.
**[21:54] Koushi**
I have to go. My friends are in danger.
**[21:58] Kureha**
Hide.
**[22:00] Kureha**
You'll burn.
**[22:01] Kureha**
You mustn't die.
**[22:05] Kun**
Mister...
**[22:07] Kureha**
I'm sorry.
**[22:08] Kureha**
I'm not a person anymore.
