**[02:25] Akira**
It's the tombwhale, a god of the sea.
**[02:29] Touko**
A sea god?
**[02:31] Akira**
They say it watches over dead humans.
**[02:36] Akira**
The tombwhale's body holds
the memories of the dead.
**[02:42] Kun**
So is this guy gonna die?
**[02:45] Akira**
I'm protecting him. He won't die on my watch.
**[02:48] Touko**
Not him!
**[02:50] Touko**
Not this man! He isn't going to join you yet!
***SIGN*** Koushi and Roroku
**[03:36] Roroku**
You got here sooner than I expected.
**[03:40] Koushi**
What about the watchers?
**[03:41] Roroku**
I figured you'd come,
so I asked them to take some time off.
**[03:46] Roroku**
The palace's spies are
puppets animated by sorcery.
**[03:50] Roroku**
Familiars, basically.
**[03:53] Roroku**
Lift the spell, and this is what's left.
**[03:56] Koushi**
"Lift the spell"?
**[04:00] Roroku**
Stick close to me while we're in the forest.
**[04:04] Roroku**
If you're careful and don't
wander off, you'll be fine.
**[04:08] Roroku**
No lights until we're in the forest.
**[04:10] Roroku**
Follow the sound of Mizore's steps.
**[04:13] Koushi**
You say you came to sell to the Okibis,
**[04:17] Koushi**
but capital fire hunters aren't
allowed to sell fire independently.
**[04:22] Roroku**
I was sounding them out.
**[04:25] Koushi**
What?
**[04:26] Roroku**
Mr. Okibi's like some kind of monster.
**[04:30] Roroku**
He only cares about himself.
**[04:34] Roroku**
I'm amazed you let a guy
like that take you in.
**[04:42] Koushi**
My sister is sick. When our mother died,
I had no one else to turn to.
**[04:48] Roroku**
Didn't you have savings?
**[04:51] Roroku**
Your old man's a fire hunter, right?
And good enough to hunt fallbeasts.
**[04:57] Roroku**
Why would the owner of a fake meat factory
want a fire hunter's son on a leash?
**[05:03] Roroku**
What's he trying to do with skyfire?
**[05:19] Roroku**
I hear capital fire hunters
don't work at night,
**[05:23] Roroku**
but you can catch more prey after dark.
**[05:26] Roroku**
You see, flame fiends are
drawn to man-made lights.
**[05:30] Roroku**
Stay behind me.
**[05:51] Roroku**
Looks like this next one has some fight in it.
**[05:54] Roroku**
Get back, boy.
**[05:57] Roroku**
Go back in the tunnel. Move!
**[06:41] Roroku**
The first hunt you saw was a night hunt.
I'll bet you're shocked.
**[06:46] Koushi**
How did you get explosive bottled lightning?
**[06:51] Roroku**
I knew it.
**[06:52] Koushi**
Huh?
**[06:55] Roroku**
I figured that devil wasn't keeping you
in his mansion as a regular apprentice.
**[07:07] Roroku**
Roaming fire hunters
use these to blind fiends.
**[07:11] Roroku**
Capital hunters don't carry them.
I hear their bosses forbid it.
**[07:16] Roroku**
Being in the capital's service
seems like a real pain.
**[07:22] Roroku**
Let's go.
**[07:54] Roroku**
Mizore has picked up a scent of some kind.
**[07:57] Roroku**
Probably blood.
**[08:02] Roroku**
And not fiend blood, I'm guessing.
**[08:26] Fire Hunter A**
Your body may be divine,
but you still can't stand without legs.
**[08:31] Fire Hunter B**
Speak. If you talk, we'll let you keep a leg.
**[08:45] Roroku**
Looks like you've caught yourselves a spider.
**[08:49] Fire Hunter C**
I know that voice.
**[08:51] Fire Hunter D**
Roroku the islander.
**[08:54] Roroku**
Fiends will swarm you if you
splatter so much blood everywhere.
**[09:00] Roroku**
Better get out of here while you can.
**[09:02] Fire Hunter C**
We know.
**[09:04] Fire Hunter C**
But we need to make him
tell us something first.
**[09:09] Fire Hunter A**
Koushi, is that you?
**[09:12] Fire Hunter B**
Koushi, you may be Haijuu's son,
**[09:16] Fire Hunter B**
but the law forbids anyone except
fire hunters from entering the forest.
**[09:22] Roroku**
Listen, I know I'm an outsider here,
**[09:26] Roroku**
but shouldn't you be
handing him over to the gods?
**[09:30] Fire Hunter B**
We'll miss out on the
juiciest info if we do that.
**[09:34] Fire Hunter D**
And a reward beyond our wildest dreams.
**[09:38] Roroku**
I knew it. You're working for Okibi,
Mr. Moneybags himself.
**[09:41] Fire Hunter A**
The treefolk warned us the spiders' vanguard
will be slipping into the capital soon.
**[09:48] Fire Hunter C**
They can monitor nearby events
through tree roots, you see.
**[09:53] Fire Hunter C**
Though I guess a roamer
like you already knows that.
**[09:56] Roroku**
This guy tried getting over the cliffs
and into the city? On his own?
**[10:02] Fire Hunter C**
He's a scout. More spiders will follow.
**[10:07] Fire Hunter C**
We've smashed and hacked up
one of his legs, but he still won't talk.
**[10:14] Fire Hunter C**
Maybe it's his divine blood.
**[10:17] Fire Hunter A**
Sorry you had to see this.
**[10:20] Fire Hunter C**
You're a fine scholar in the making.
**[10:23] Fire Hunter C**
Fiends and the forest
are fire hunter territory.
**[10:27] Fire Hunter C**
Stay clear of them and walk your own path.
**[10:37] Spider Man A**
We have obtained fire.
**[10:41] Spider Man A**
We spiders have obtained the ancient flame.
**[10:47] Spider Man A**
Knowing when my comrades
are coming will not save you.
**[10:52] Spider Man A**
We spiders have the ancient fire.
We can approach flames without burning up.
**[11:00] Spider Man A**
You humans cower in fear of the old fire.
**[11:04] Spider Man A**
You do not stand a chance against us.
**[11:10] Spider Man A**
Look. My blood has drawn
the flame fiends to you.
**[11:19] Fire Hunter B**
Hah! We wouldn't be
fire hunters if fiends scared us.
**[11:23] Spider Man A**
But these are no ordinary fiends.
**[11:26] Spider Man A**
Now that our bugs have bitten them,
they do not fear the ancient fire.
**[11:32] Fire Hunter C**
We didn't come to hunt tonight.
**[11:34] Fire Hunter C**
I doubt we'll get him talking
anytime soon. Let's get out of here.
**[11:40] Spider Man A**
Are you frightened, humans?
**[11:43] Roroku**
We shouldn't hang around, either.

**[13:24] Shouzou's Father**
I promise I'll pay your fee.
**[13:26] Back-alley Doctor**
The fire hunter girl already
said she'd cover the bill.
**[13:30] Back-alley Doctor**
They got him here in the nick of time.
**[13:34] Back-alley Doctor**
Any longer and necrosis would have set in.
**[13:37] Back-alley Doctor**
I won't need to amputate his arm,
but even once it has healed,
**[13:42] Back-alley Doctor**
he'll never raise it above
shoulder height again.
**[13:45] Back-alley Doctor**
And I'm sorry to say he's blind in his right eye.
**[13:49] Back-alley Doctor**
As for the blood he's lost,
all I can do is give him a hematinic
**[13:53] Back-alley Doctor**
and leave it up to his body to pull through.

**[14:23] Akira**
I can't thank you enough, Doctor.
**[14:25] Back-alley Doctor**
I won't ask what happened.
**[14:29] Back-alley Doctor**
Now, get some rest yourself.
***SIGN*** E
**[15:23] Kaho**
Oh, Touko. You're awake.
**[15:36] Touko**
Kun's sound asleep, and so is Ms. Akira.
**[15:41] Kaho**
Well, Akira still has things to do
when she wakes up.
**[15:46] Touko**
What things?
**[15:49] Kaho**
And so do you, Touko.
**[15:58] Kaho**
W-We stink.
**[16:00] Touko**
Huh?
**[16:04] Touko**
Yeah. We do.
**[16:45] Shouzou's Mother**
They're old hand-me-downs.
**[16:48] Shouzou's Mother**
Still, this is fun. I feel like I have
two daughters all of a sudden.
**[16:54] Touko**
Can I really have these clothes?
**[16:58] Kaho**
I don't mind wearing this.
**[17:02] Akira**
Well, what matters is that they're clean.
**[17:05] Akira**
I'll go check in on Shouzou.
**[17:13] Touko**
Um...
**[17:15] Touko**
Mr. Shouzou said you were ill, ma'am.
**[17:20] Shouzou's Mother**
It's only ash sickness, dear.
Factory workers get it all the time.
**[17:25] Shouzou's Mother**
Oh, I'd better start on the cooking.
**[17:28] Shouzou's Mother**
I hope we have enough to feed six of us.
***SIGN*** E
**[17:34] Touko**
They're even feeding us.
**[17:36] Kaho**
Let's do what she says, Touko.
Be sure to eat your fill.
**[17:42] Kaho**
She must have figured out Kun was
a spider when she saw his fiend pelt.
**[17:50] Kaho**
But she didn't chase him off.
**[17:54] Kaho**
We should listen to her.
**[17:59] Kaho**
I'm going to get better.
And I'll help nurse Shouzou.
**[18:05] Touko**
And I need to look for Kanata's family.
**[18:11] Shouzou's Mother**
Food's ready, girls!
**[18:14] Touko; Kaho**
Okay!

**[19:05] Touko**
Wait here, Kanata.
I'll get Mr. Shouzou's medicine.
**[19:22] Back-alley Doctor**
Come in.
**[19:23] Touko**
Um, I'm here for Mr. Shouzou's medicine.
**[19:28] Back-alley Doctor**
Oh, it's you. I have it ready.
**[19:34] Back-alley Doctor**
That fire hunter girl... What was her name?
**[19:38] Touko**
Ms. Akira.
**[19:40] Back-alley Doctor**
Oh, that's right.
**[19:42] Back-alley Doctor**
Take her medicine, too. Here.
**[19:45] Back-alley Doctor**
I'm amazed a girl like that...
**[19:48] Back-alley Doctor**
can hack it as a roaming fire hunter,
especially with that tiny hound of hers.
**[20:07] Touko**
Kanata?
**[20:11] Touko**
Kanata.
**[20:12] Touko**
Kanata!
**[20:56] Touko**
Is this it, Kanata?
**[21:00] Touko**
Is this the house of that fire hunter?
**[21:04] Guard**
Who are you, kid?!
**[21:06] Guard**
That looks like a hunting hound! Is it yours?
**[21:12] Touko**
Kanata!
**[21:14] Guard**
Hey! Stop right there!
**[21:53] Touko**
Kanata... where are we?
**[22:07] Kira**
You look lost.
