**[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**
