[00:04] Beholder
    The death of the three warriors
    rattles and enrages Fushi.
[00:10] (Flashback) Messar
    Didn't we tell you?
[00:12] (Flashback) Messar
    We're immortal, too.
[00:14] Beholder
    The battle continues alongside
    the revived warriors.
[00:19] (Flashback) Kahaku
    Isn't it unfair?
[00:20] (Flashback) Kahaku
    You're the only one with this curse!
[00:24] Beholder
    He is confronted with the question
    of what it means to fight.
[00:28] Beholder
    Unable to find an answer,
    Fushi is met with an old memory.
SIGN    What You Want to Protect
[02:13] March
    I know a different kind of writing, though.
[02:16] (Flashback) March
    Like this!
[02:22] (Flashback) Kai
    As soon as you notice us dead,
    recreate us and cut us off immediately.
[02:27] Kai
    We'll come back to life.
[02:54] Fushi
    Allies that don't die...
[02:58] Fushi
    Those three come back to life.
[03:01] (Flashback) Bon
    They're people who have the
    potential to become immortal.
[03:05] Fushi
    He knows.
[03:07] Fushi
    He knows something I don't.
[03:12] Bon
    Sorry that took a while.
    Where are the others?
[03:14] Kai
    They've returned to their posts.
[03:16] Bon
    Has Fushi said anything?
[03:18] Kai
    Nothing in particular.
[03:20] Bon
    That'll keep the abrasives
    from getting in your eyes.
[03:23] Kai
    Thank you.
[03:30] Kahaku
    What are you doing?!
[03:32] Bon
    All right, I'm leaving you in charge.
[03:34] Bon
    I'm headed to the castle.
[03:36] Kai
    Okay.
[03:38] Kahaku
    You're using someone who's
    disposable to keep watch over me.
[03:43] Kahaku
    I was shocked when the three I
    thought were dead returned alive.
[03:48] Kahaku
    It's Fushi's power, isn't it?
[03:50] Kahaku
    It was assumed impossible until now.
[03:53] Kahaku
    But you...
[03:55] Kahaku
    You and the three know how
    to revive the dead.
[04:00] Kahaku
    Does Fushi know how it works?
[04:03] Bon
    No, I haven't told him.
[04:05] Kahaku
    You're a coward.
[04:07] Kahaku
    You're taking advantage of
    the power given to Fushi,
[04:09] Kahaku
    for his own sake, as though it's your own.
[04:12] Kai
    I'm amazed you'd go against
    your own word so quickly.
[04:15] Kai
    You just said that Fushi's immortal
    body is a demonic curse.
[04:19] Kahaku
    I don't care!
[04:21] Kahaku
    I won't allow you to exploit Fushi's pain!
[04:25] Kahaku
    Bon, you've forced not just Fushi
    but the three to take on hardship.
[04:31] Kahaku
    Have you never considered what
    the fate you've condemned them to
[04:35] Kahaku
    would do to their human dignity?
[04:39] Hairo
    What are you doing here?
[04:41] Hairo
    You've been ordered to stay at home.
[04:44] Thief
    I've never had a home in my life!
[04:47] Hairo
    Then go to the church.
[04:49] Thief
    It's already full.
[04:51] Hairo
    Then you're headed to the slammer for theft.
[04:53] Thief
    Fine, do that!
[04:54] Thief
    I don't care what happens to this city.
[04:56] Thief
    It doesn't change my world at all!
[05:00] Thief
    I was born and raised in a prison.
[05:02] Thief
    I finally got out at fifteen,
    but the world still hasn't accepted me!
[05:06] Hairo
    That doesn't give you the right to steal.
[05:10] Thief
    Yeah, you're right!
[05:11] Thief
    But so what?
[05:14] Hairo
    All right. I'll let you go.
[05:19] Thief
    Thank you.
[05:20] Thief
    God bless you!
[05:22] Hairo
    Just get moving!
[05:32] Messar
    I guess that's everything.
[05:34] Messar
    You can take it from here.
[05:35] Soldiers
    Yes, sir.
[05:38] Messar
    Alme!
[05:39] Messar
    I'm finished.
[05:41] Messar
    What does the king want from me?
[05:47] Renril Soldier A
    This way.
[06:03] Alme
    The king...
[06:05] Alme
    The king has passed away.
[06:08] Messar
    I see.
[06:10] Messar
    That's unfortunate.
[06:14] Alme
    The king left me with a message for you.
[06:22] Alme
    He wants you and me, as siblings,
[06:27] Alme
    to take care of this nation.
[06:41] Messar
    Alme!
[06:48] Bon
    A day never went by when I didn't
    think about what my actions entail.
[06:53] Bon
    That's why I explained everything to them
[06:56] Bon
    and got their agreement before
    I asked them to come here.
[06:59] Bon
    There are so many wounded soldiers. I don't
    know what the best course of action is.
[07:03] Bon
    And the reason I haven't
    told Fushi everything
[07:07] Bon
    is so that he wouldn't have
    to shoulder it all.
[07:13] Bon
    Even if Renril falls, I want
    to protect Fushi's humanity.
[07:24] Sera
    Fushi-san.
[07:26] Sera
    What happened to that girl?
[07:28] Fushi
    Oh, no...
[07:31] Fushi
    It's just a corpse.
[07:32] Fushi
    Could you throw it out?
[07:34] Fushi
    There's something I have to do.
[07:36] Sera
    O-Okay.
[07:45] Sera
    This...
[08:11] Girl
    I want to go outside!
[08:13] Girl
    I want to go outside!
[08:15] Mom
    Hey, now. Stay away from the door.
[08:17] Girl
    I'm bored! I'm bored!
[08:21] Fushi (Booze Man)
    What's wrong?
[08:22] Girl
    Nothing.
[08:23] Fushi (Booze Man)
    Don't call me if nothing's wrong!
[08:27] Fushi (Booze Man)
    Oh, right, you must be bored.
[08:30] Fushi (Booze Man)
    Here. You can have this.
[08:35] Girl
    Thank you!
[08:36] Fushi (Booze Man)
    Bye.
[08:45] Fushi
    I have to do all I can.
[08:49] Fushi
    I can feel the citizens' boredom and anxiety.
[08:54] Fushi
    There's a long path ahead.
[08:56] Fushi
    Defending the walls,
[08:58] Fushi
    procuring drinking water,
    supporting the soldiers...
[09:02] Fushi
    There's no end to the work.
[09:05] Fushi
    Honestly, this is unbearable.
[09:08] Fushi
    And it's only been four days
    since the fighting began.
[09:12] Fushi
    I know.
[09:13] Fushi
    All I have to do is spread myself out
    so the Nokkers have no place to hide.
[09:18] Fushi
    I'll do it.
[09:20] Fushi
    This is something only I can do.
[09:26] Fushi
    Here they come again.
[09:27] Fushi
    I have to send Kai and the others
    to destroy the trebuchets.
[09:30] Fushi
    But no one's dead yet.
[09:33] Fushi
    This is bad timing.
[09:34] Fushi
    All right.
[09:36] Fushi
    I'll have to deal with it
    on my own for a while.
[09:39] Woman
    Somebody! Somebody!
[09:43] Hairo
    What happened?!
[09:48] Woman
    A thief came in...
[09:50] Woman
    A fight broke out, and....
[10:02] Woman
    Oh, dear.
[10:03] Woman
    I'll bring the emergency kit.
[10:05] Hairo
    No, it's fine.
[10:08] Hairo
    Tasette?!
[10:10] Hairo
    Oh, no.
[10:11] Hairo
    Are you hurt at all?
[10:12] Hairo
    Do you have family?
[10:14] Woman
    I lived alone with my son.
[10:18] Woman
    He was a kind boy.
[10:20] Hairo
    This wouldn't have happened
    if I hadn't let the thief go.
[10:24] Hairo
    I'm a failure of a soldier.
[10:27] Guillaume
    I'm sure you don't want to be alone.
[10:29] Guillaume
    Would you like to come to the church?
[10:33] Guillaume
    What is this?
[10:35] Guillaume
    I thought everyone had evacuated.
[10:36] Man A
    We did, and we're fleeing
    the evacuation site.
[10:42] Fushi
    Those feet feel like Hairo's.
[10:48] Fushi
    Good timing.
[10:49] Fushi
    There's another enemy
    trebuchet attacking us.
[10:52] Hairo
    May I leave you to deal with this?
[10:54] Hairo
    I'm going to go defeat the
    Nokkers at the church.
[10:57] Fushi
    Church?
[10:58] Fushi
    Right, a kilometer from here.
[11:00] Hairo
    And please reset me when you send me there.
[11:03] Hairo
    I can't fight, as you can see.
[11:05] Fushi
    All right.
[11:07] Hairo
    Thanks.
[11:08] Hairo
    Kill me with that.
[11:10] Guillaume
    I can't! I can't do that!
[11:14] Hairo
    Please use the arrows
    we use for the Nokkers.
[11:23] Woman
    How could you?! That's terrible!
[11:25] Man B
    You murderer!
[11:27] Man B
    Murderer!
[11:29] Man C
    Murderer!
[11:31] Man B
    Someone, capture him!
[11:33] Guillaume
    It's not what you think!
[11:34] Guillaume
    Please, stay calm!
[11:36] Man B
    I saw what I saw!
[11:37] Man C
    You murderer!
[11:39] Fushi
    Sorry, Guillaume. I have to go.
[11:41] Guillaume
    Oh, right, of course.
[11:44] Man B
    He vanished!
[11:57] Man C
    Murderer!
[11:59] Fushi
    What do you mean, "murderer"?
[12:03] Fushi
    It's not like I enjoy doing this.
[12:06] Fushi
    I have to do this to protect everyone.
[12:10] Fushi
    That's why...
[12:12] Kahaku
    Why do you have to protect the people?
[12:15] Fushi
    I can't explain.
[12:17] Fushi
    It's just painful when people
    are suffering or grieving.
[12:22] Kahaku
    It's because that demon told
    you to fight, isn't it?
[12:26] Kahaku
    Isn't that where your suffering began?
[12:31] Fushi
    How much does Bon know?
[12:37] Fushi
    Concentrate!
[12:53] Messar
    Alme!
[12:55] Messar
    Where are you?
[12:57] Messar
    Alme!
[13:03] Messar
    Alme...
[13:04] Messar
    What are you doing?
[13:05] Messar
    That's dangerous, standing there.
[13:09] Alme
    Stay away, Messar.
[13:14] Alme
    I am no longer myself.
[13:20] Alme
    I can't go back to being who I once was.
[13:23] Messar
    What, has the shock of the king's
    death made you stop caring?
[13:27] Alme
    No.
[13:29] Alme
    No...
[13:33] Messar
    Alme!
[13:44] Messar
    You dumbass.
[13:45] Messar
    You know I need you.
[13:49] Alme
    Yes.
[13:51] Alme
    Let's play our game together again,
[13:54] Alme
    Big Brother.
[14:06] Fushi
    Messar...
[14:08] Fushi
    I was just about to conquer
    the mountain to the west.
[14:14] Fushi
    Messar.
[14:16] Fushi
    What's wrong?
[14:17] Messar
    I'm begging you, Fushi.
[14:19] Messar
    Please...
[14:21] Messar
    Please, bring Alme back to life!
[14:24] Fushi
    The princess?
[14:30] Fushi
    I'm sure you know, but I can't
    bring people back to life.
[14:36] Messar
    No, you can.
[14:37] Messar
    I'm sure you can!
[14:39] Fushi
    I can't.
[14:40] Fushi
    I couldn't!
[14:41] Messar
    Shut up and try it! Right now!
[14:43] Fushi
    I told you, I can't!
[14:44] Messar
    Do it!
[14:45] Messar
    Do it, damn it!
[14:57] Fushi
    See?
[14:59] Fushi
    She won't move, will she?
[15:02] Messar
    Not yet.
[15:23] Fushi
    Bon.
[15:24] Fushi
    Messar's calling for you.
[15:26] Bon
    Yeah, I was just on my way.
[15:28] Bon
    I heard the king died.
[15:31] Fushi
    The princess, too.
[15:33] Bon
    No...
[15:35] Fushi
    Hey, Bon...
[15:38] Fushi
    Is there something you aren't telling me?
[15:42] Bon
    What do you mean?
[15:44] Fushi
    Messar's asking me to bring
    the princess back to life.
[15:47] Fushi
    That has something to do with how Messar
    comes back to life, doesn't it?
[15:51] Bon
    I can't answer.
[15:53] Bon
    Not until we win this battle.
[16:03] Fushi
    All right.
[16:05] Fushi
    I'll do my best.
[16:07] Bon
    Yeah.
[16:11] Bon
    Fushi...
[16:12] Bon
    I've never seen that look on his face before.
[16:29] Kai
    Fushi...
[16:30] Kahaku
    Fushi?
[16:33] Fushi
    Are you going to sit there forever?
[16:35] Fushi
    Don't you think you should be making
    yourself a little useful?
[16:38] Kahaku
    You heard him, Kai-san.
[16:40] Kahaku
    The battlefield is waiting for my help.
[16:42] Kahaku
    Please, untie me immediately.
[16:43] Fushi
    I'm talking to your left hand.
[16:47] Kai
    Did you need something, Fushi-san?
[16:49] Fushi
    No, I'm just a bit tired.
[16:54] Fushi
    It hasn't even been a week, and it
    feels like Renril's falling apart.
[17:04] Fushi
    I think everyone's feeling suffocated.
[17:06] Fushi
    So I want to take a break.
[17:09] Kai
    So you want a breather.
[17:11] Kahaku
    H-Hey, why don't we have
    a meal at that place?
[17:14] Fushi
    Nah, I'm just grumbling.
[17:17] Fushi
    Sorry, I shouldn't have said that now.
[17:23] Kahaku
    Fushi's acting weird.
[17:25] Kahaku
    I'm going to him.
[17:26] Kahaku
    Please untie me.
[17:28] Kai
    Can you not do it yourself?
[17:29] Kahaku
    Isn't that obvious?
[17:31] Kahaku
    How am I supposed to?
[17:33] Kai
    Let's try it, then.
[17:36] Kai
    I'm talking to your left hand.
[17:54] Kahaku
    Let's have dinner, Fushi!
[17:57] Kahaku
    Man, it's been a long time
    since we've eaten together.
[18:01] Kahaku
    All the shops are closed.
[18:03] Kahaku
    It was so hard to find food.
[18:09] Kahaku
    Oh, don't worry about this.
[18:11] Kahaku
    It's just Kai-san's blood.
[18:13] Kahaku
    I'll be preparing upstairs.
[18:15] Kahaku
    I'll ask you to call everyone
    over once I'm about ready.
[18:22] Fushi
    Now I know where this vague
    anxiousness has been coming from.
[18:25] Fushi
    We're gradually losing.
[18:30] Fushi
    This battle won't end until either the human
    population or the Nokker count reaches zero.
[18:35] Fushi
    In order to bring the Nokker count to zero,
    I have to make the whole world my place.
[18:41] Fushi
    But when can I get there?
[18:45] Fushi
    A year from now?
[18:46] Fushi
    Ten years from now?
[18:47] Fushi
    A hundred years from now?
[18:50] Fushi
    We have to endure for all that time?
[18:53] Fushi
    The soldiers...
[18:55] Fushi
    The people of Renril...
[18:58] Fushi
    The immortal soldiers...
[19:02] Messar
    Alme...
[19:04] Messar
    Alme's here, isn't she?
[19:07] Bon
    I'm sorry, Messar.
[19:10] Bon
    She seems to have risen to heaven.
[19:18] Messar
    That's impossible!
[19:20] Messar
    Sh-She just said we'll play again!
[19:25] Bon
    She must have wanted to spend her time
    in a dream rather than living in reality.
[19:38] Bon
    Messar!
[19:39] Bon
    Nokkers!
[19:40] Bon
    Draw your weapon!
[19:42] Messar
    Alme...
[19:43] Bon
    Messar!
[19:47] Fushi
    We're still on a path without a goal in sight.
[19:52] Fushi
    And yet we're at a standstill.
[20:02] Messar
    Huh?
[20:06] Kahaku
    You're awake. Let's have dinner.
[20:09] Kahaku
    It's not much, but please.
[20:11] Kahaku
    I'll get Fushi later, too.
[20:13] Kahaku
    Please, dig in.
[20:17] Hairo
    What do you think you're doing?
[20:19] Kahaku
    What?
[20:20] Kahaku
    I'm just doing what Fushi wanted.
[20:22] Hairo
    We're in the middle of a battle.
[20:24] Hairo
    I need to get back, or...
[20:25] Kahaku
    Wait.
[20:26] Kahaku
    First, we should hold a check-in meeting.
[20:29] Hairo
    A check-in meeting?
[20:30] Kahaku
    Fushi is fed up with your
    ineptitude, Hairo-san.
[20:35] Kahaku
    How many more times do you need to die
    before you can protect that church?
[20:39] Kahaku
    I would have gotten rid of the Nokkers quickly.
[20:42] Kahaku
    Kai-san, you wasted time restraining me.
[20:46] Kahaku
    You didn't have that kind
    of strength to begin with.
[20:50] Kahaku
    Messar-san, I pity you a little.
[20:53] Kahaku
    You were so intent on protecting the princess,
    and she died on you anticlimactically.
[20:57] Kahaku
    Ooh, scary.
[21:00] Kahaku
    Anyway, you'll feel better if
    you have something to eat.
[21:15] Kahaku
    I-It's nothing!
[21:17] Kahaku
    It's not what you think! I'm sorry, Fushi!
[21:19] Kahaku
    This wasn't...
[21:20] Kahaku
    My left arm just...
[21:22] Kahaku
    U-Um...
[21:23] Kahaku
    I suppose my arm angered the others.
[21:25] Kahaku
    They almost killed me.
[21:28] Kahaku
    That must be it.
[21:29] Kahaku
    So... Yeah, my left hand...
[21:30] Kahaku
    I'm sorry, Fushi!
[21:32] Kahaku
    I-It wasn't on purpose!
[21:33] Fushi
    Fighting amongst friends is a waste of time.
[21:38] Fushi
    Please be sure to make up later.
[21:40] Kahaku
    Friends...
[21:42] Kahaku
    But you aren't afraid of me?
[21:47] Kahaku
    Are you sure you want me as a friend?
[21:50] Fushi
    There can't be any peace without trust.
[21:54] Fushi
    I have to make the case myself.
[21:58] Kahaku
    You're tired.
[22:01] Kahaku
    Not your body, but your mind.
[22:04] Kahaku
    I'm begging you, Fushi.
[22:05] Kahaku
    Don't hold back.
[22:07] Kahaku
    Please speak your mind honestly.
[22:11] Kahaku
    I want to understand you.
[22:14] Fushi
    My mind? Honestly?
[22:18] Fushi
    I want it to end.
[22:21] Kahaku
    Don't worry.
[22:24] Kahaku
    I'll protect you.
[22:48] March
    Stop!
[22:49] March
    Stop! Stop!
[22:51] March
