[00:01] Narrator
This world is home to humans who fear fire,
[00:04] Narrator
and flame fiends who harbor
a new form of fire within them.
[00:09] Narrator
The fire hunter known as Haijuu died,
leaving behind his sickle and his dog, Kanata.
[00:13] Narrator
To return them to his family,
Touko journeys to the capital.

[01:51] Kaho
Come on, put me down. I can walk now.
[01:54] Shouzou
Stop whining and just sit tight. You're not
well enough yet. You'll get tired in no time.
[01:59] Shouzou
Hey, kid. What are you gonna do next?
[02:02] Touko
I'm going to the capital.
[02:04] Touko
I need to give Kanata and the
fire hunter's things back to his family.
[02:08] Shouzou
That's easy to say, but you'll never
make it there walking through this forest.
[02:13] Touko
But that's why I left my village.
[02:17] Shouzou
I mean, I wanna get back home, too.
[02:20] Shouzou
My family needs money.
[02:22] Shouzou
Crewing a collection truck is risky,
but the pay's good.
[02:40] Kaho
We're here.
[02:41] Shouzou
Yeah.
[02:44] Kaho
What's this?
[02:46] Shouzou
A blow dart?
[03:25] Touko
Kanata!
[03:28] Akira
Don't chase him! Come back!
[03:44] Akira
A factory worker with treefolk?
You don't see that every day.
[03:49] Treefolk Woman
They seem to have left.
[03:53] Treefolk Man
They won't be back for a while.
[04:00] Touko
Kanata!
[04:04] Shouzou
Say, that's a fire hunter's sickle, isn't it?
[04:08] Kaho
So that dog... is a hunting hound?
[04:14] Touko
A fire hunter.
[04:36] Village Woman A
Akira.
SIGN Akira
[04:43] Village Woman A
We quit working in our workshops at night,
[04:47] Village Woman A
but we can't let the fires go out,
[04:49] Village Woman A
meaning we need more of it than
we can buy from the collection trucks.
[04:53] Village Woman A
That's why we turn to
roaming fire hunters like Akira.
[05:01] Village Woman A
The trucks give us a
fair price for our wares,
[05:06] Village Woman A
but it's not enough to keep us going.
[05:09] Village Woman A
Oh, but should I be saying this?
You are from the capital.
[05:13] Shouzou
Huh? Oh.
[05:15] Shouzou
Well, it's true that I'm from the capital,
but I don't know much about trucks.
[05:21] Akira
The details can wait till tomorrow.
[05:24] Village Woman A
Oh?
[05:25] Akira
They must all be exhausted,
especially after that attack.
[05:29] Village Woman A
How inconsiderate of me.
[05:33] Shouzou
We need to pay them.
Do you have anything we can trade?
[05:36] Touko
I have muku paper.
[05:38] Shouzou
Whoa! Nice going.
[05:41] Shouzou
I'll take a bit.
[05:42] Touko
Uh...
[05:43] Shouzou
Just a little.
[05:46] Village Woman A
Goodness gracious! Is that...
[05:48] Village Woman A
Grandpa! Look at this! It's muku paper!
[05:51] Village Woman A
This is what the gods write on.
[05:54] Touko
But Mr. Shouzou, shouldn't we tell them?
[05:58] Touko
This village must be waiting
eagerly for the trucks to come.
[06:01] Shouzou
It's not like we can do anything for them.
[06:05] Shouzou
Telling these villagers
would just cause unease.
[06:10] Akira
I saw some newly wrecked trucks
as I wandered this way from the west.
[06:15] Akira
I'm guessing you were on them.
[06:18] Akira
You can tell me the whole story
while we soak in the tub.
[06:22] Akira
Just us women.
[06:30] Akira
Those two could use a bath, too.
[06:36] Kaho
The doctor told me you ran
out of the truck to rescue me.
[06:43] Kaho
And that man carried me
on his back all the way here.
[06:48] Kaho
Touko, if you're going to
the capital, I'll join you.
[06:52] Kaho
I want all three of us to go together.
[06:55] Akira
How about all four of us?
[06:59] Akira
If the capital's your
destination, I'll help you.
[07:02] Shouzou
Hey! What the hell?!
[07:02] Akira
From here, you have to go through
the forest to get anywhere.
[07:06] Akira
And it looks like you've got spiders
after you as well as flame fiends.
[07:12] Akira
The treefolk will help you
if you run into them,
[07:15] Akira
but you can't count on them all the time.
[07:18] Akira
So trying to make it to the capital
on your own is basically suicide.
[07:22] Akira
Temari and I could
protect you on the journey.
[07:32] Touko
Um...
[07:35] Akira
You're quick on the uptake.
[07:36] Akira
And yes, I'll only do it for
some of that muku paper.
[07:40] Akira
I don't want any trouble,
so we'll leave early tomorrow morning.
[07:44] Touko
But what will Mr. Shouzou say?
[07:48] Akira
He doesn't have a death wish.
[07:50] Akira
This deal will help him, too,
and the payment is your muku paper.
[07:55] Akira
Why should he complain?
[08:06] Akira
The capital's about 7,000 units south of here.
[08:10] Shouzou
Sure, more or less.
[08:13] Akira
We'll cut through the forest to the sea,
then take a boat the rest of the way.
[08:19] Akira
If all goes well, it'll take us three days.
[08:22] Shouzou
You have a boat?
[08:24] Akira
There's a boat in the bay
that any fire hunter may use.
[08:28] Akira
We trade with each other for
what we need, when we need it.
[08:34] Akira
Of course, the boat ain't free.
[08:43] Akira
Hey, how many sheets of
muku paper you got left?
[08:46] Touko
I had half a sheaf, so five in total,
but I gave one to the villagers yesterday.
[08:53] Akira
That leaves four, then.
It'd be a shame to waste them.
[08:59] Akira
Guess I'll hunt on the way.
[09:01] Touko
Um, you're a fire hunter, right, Ms. Akira?
[09:05] Touko
Have you seen this dog before?
Its name is Kanata.
[09:09] Touko
Do you know the fire hunter it belonged to?
[09:12] Akira
Kanata?
[09:14] Akira
Sorry. Not ringing any bells.
[09:17] Akira
Your name's Touko, right?
[09:19] Akira
How did you come to
travel with that dog?
[09:27] Akira
That fire hunter might have
been after the same thing I am.
[09:32] Touko
Muku paper?
[09:33] Akira
Yeah.
[09:34] Touko
What use would you and
that fire hunter have for it?
[09:42] Akira
I want to write a letter.
[09:45] Akira
Strange things are happening
in villages all over.
[09:48] Akira
That's why yours sent you off
to become a bride, right, Kaho?
[09:53] Akira
I bet the world is gonna be changing
in a big way before too much longer.
[09:58] Shouzou
How can you tell that?
[10:01] Akira
Because the Millennial Comet,
the Flickering Flame, is coming home.
[10:06] Touko
The Flickering Flame?
[10:25] Kaho
A child?
[10:26] Shouzou
What would a kid be doing out here?
[10:29] Akira
Temari! Kanata! Stand guard here!
SIGN Koushi
[11:21] Koushi
Hinako!
[11:27] Koushi
Hinako, put that down! Don't touch it!
[11:47] Fire Hunter B
Well, look who it is!
You're Haijuu's boy, right?
[11:51] Fire Hunter A
What's wrong? You're covered in sweat
and seem to be in a daze. Are you drunk?
[11:56] Koushi
Oh, no, I'm just not feeling too well.
[11:59] Fire Hunter C
What was Haijuu thinking, running off
and leaving his sick wife like that?
[12:03] Fire Hunter c
Must've been hard on you and your sister.
[12:06] Fire Hunter D
He always loved long journeys.
Probably off hunting somewhere as we speak.
[12:07] Koushi
It wasn't real. I was dreaming.
[12:10] Koushi
Maybe it's because
I feel so out of place here.
[12:12] Fire Hunter C
I'm sorry for your loss, but your kid sister
will be safe here with the Okibis.
[12:17] Fire Hunter A
You've really moved up in the world.
[12:19] Fire Hunter C
Man, here you are in this big mansion
and you still look like a scarecrow.
[12:25] Fire Hunter C
You oughta fatten up a bit.
[12:31] Kira
Koushi!
[12:34] Kira
Sirs, may Koushi and I give
our regards to your dogs?
[12:38] Fire Hunter C
Go ahead. You sure are a
dyed-in-the-wool dog lover, Miss Kira.
[12:43] Fire Hunter D
The dogs will love getting some
attention from a nice girl like you.
[12:48] Kira
Come on, Koushi.
[12:50] Kira
Hurry up!
[12:54] Kira
Shimaki, Tatsuta, Iwao, Kagura.
[13:00] Koushi
I never knew you liked dogs so much.
[13:04] Kira
I like all animals.
[13:06] Kira
I'd love to keep a pet here,
[13:09] Kira
but my mother can't stand them.
[13:12] Kira
Your family had a dog, too, right?
[13:17] Koushi
Kanata.
[13:19] Kira
Kanata? What a lovely name.
[13:22] Koushi
Yeah.
[13:24] Kira
Oh, I haven't seen you before.
You're gorgeous.
[13:32] Kira
I wonder which fire hunter you belong to.
[13:35] Hibana
Kira! Show our guests some attention!
[13:38] Hibana
Kira!
[13:39] Kira
Coming!
[13:41] Kira
I'm sorry, Koushi. I need to go.
[13:48] Roroku
I hear the master of the house
has taken you under his wing.
[13:53] Roroku
Impressive for a kid your age.
[13:56] Koushi
The other fire hunters are over there.
[13:59] Roroku
I'm not a party guest.
I came to talk business.
[14:03] Roroku
I got turned away at the gate, though.
[14:06] Roroku
I've got skyfire to sell.
[14:09] Koushi
Skyfire?
[14:11] Koushi
You hunt fallbeasts?
[14:14] Roroku
Yeah. I do.
[14:21] Koushi
Excuse me, but could you
teach me about skyfire?
[14:36] Roroku
The name's Roroku. This is Mizore.
SIGN Roroku
[14:44] Roroku
If you want to learn about fallbeasts
and skyfire, why not join me on a hunt?
SIGN Touko
[14:54] Shouzou
What'd you pick up this kid for?
[14:57] Akira
He's wearing a flame fiend pelt.
[15:00] Akira
Which means he's a spider.
[15:04] Akira
In a pinch, we can use him as a hostage.
[15:07] Shouzou
Have we made it?
[15:11] Shouzou
Yes! We're here...
[15:15] Shouzou
No way.
[15:17] Akira
Wait here!
[15:30] Shouzou
What the hell happened here?
[15:41] Shouzou
The bodies are all burned to a crisp.
People, dogs, even fiends.
[15:51] Akira
Hey! Is anybody still alive?!
[16:10] Touko
Kanata.
[16:12] Shouzou
It was the spiders.
[16:15] Shouzou
But how?
[16:16] Shouzou
Hey, brat! Tell me!
[16:19] Shouzou
How come the spiders can use fire?!
[16:21] Shouzou
Well?! Say something!
[16:21] Kaho
Stop that. This child isn't
going to know anything.
[16:25] Shouzou
Hey!
[16:26] Kun
Bugs.
[16:31] Kun
Bugs that make it so your body doesn't burn.
[16:35] Kun
Everyone made the bugs bite them
[16:40] Kun
so they could use fire
that's not from fiends.
[16:44] Shouzou
You mean you guys did all this?
[16:50] Shouzou
You sicced fiends on the hunters,
then set a fire to kill them all?
[16:55] Shouzou
So you really were behind
the attack on our trucks!
[16:58] Kaho
Adults did that!
[17:00] Kaho
There's not point blaming a little kid!
[17:04] Kaho
He was probably abandoned
in the forest to fend for himself.
[17:08] Shouzou
Why? Why would they do that?
[17:14] Akira
Hurry! Get to the boat!
[17:19] Shouzou
Move it!
[17:20] Kaho
Right.
[17:44] Akira
What's wrong with these fiends?
They're overly vicious.
[18:52] Kaho
Shouzou! Shouzou!
[18:55] Kaho
No. You can't die!
[18:58] Kaho
Don't die.
[18:59] Kaho
Calm down. Don't move him.
[19:03] Shouzou
It hurts. It hurts so bad.
[19:07] Kaho
Don't die.
[19:45] Akira
Sorry. I talked big, but I didn't do
a great job of protecting you.
[19:50] Akira
I never expected the spiders to control
fiends and send them to attack the bay.
[20:00] Akira
You really surprised me, Touko.
[20:04] Touko
Huh?
[20:05] Akira
You know, you just might have—
[20:08] Touko
Um, I'm supposed to keep this sickle safe.
[20:12] Touko
Will the fire hunter's family
get mad at me for using it?
[20:18] Akira
Hunters share with each other to get by.
[20:22] Akira
That even goes for sickles and hounds.
[20:25] Akira
I got Temari here from another hunter.
[20:30] Akira
Temari's supposed to be
the last of an ancient lapdog breed.
[20:35] Akira
And you know...
[20:37] Akira
My sickle isn't really mine, either.
It's a memento.
[20:44] Touko
A memento?
[20:45] Akira
Of my big brother. He was a fire hunter.
[20:51] Kun
I'm hungry.
[20:55] Touko
Sorry. We don't have any food right now.
[21:02] Touko
What's your name?
[21:05] Kun
Kun.
SIGN Kun
[21:09] Touko
Kun, did you hurt your arm earlier?
[21:14] Kun
All the others got the bugs
to bite them so they didn't burn.
[21:20] Kun
I'm the only one the venom didn't work on.
[21:24] Kun
My mom said I was too in tune with
the bugs, so the forest could have me.
[21:32] Kaho
I knew it.
