[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.
