[00:31] Fumirul
    You're finally awake.
[00:33] Fumirul
    Good morning, sleepyhead.
[00:38] Kuon
    Fumi?
[00:41] Fumirul
    That's right, Ku. It's me, Fumirul!

[02:20] Kuon
    I feel like I'm back from the dead.
[02:23] Fumirul
    You really do look like
    you're enjoying yourself.
[02:25] Kuon
    Baths help cleanse your very soul, I think.
[02:30] Fumirul
    That sounds like something you'd say, Ku.
[02:32] Fumirul
    But you've been unconscious
    for so long. You need to rest.
[02:36] Kuon
    I just got up. I can't stay resting forever.
[02:46] Fumirul
    You mustn't overwork yourself.
[02:50] Fumirul
    To celebrate your waking up, I'll prepare
    you something soft on the stomach.
[02:54] Fumirul
    You would prefer a meal of medicinal
    herbs instead of mororo porridge, right?
[02:59] Kuon
    Yeah. It tastes good and
    is gentle on the body.
[03:03] Kuon
    It's a real treat!
[03:04] Fumirul
    Okay.
[03:06] Kuon
    Fumirul knows without me having to tell her.
[03:10] Kuon
    She's my dear childhood friend. My one frie—
[03:15] Fumirul
    Ku?
[03:16] Kuon
    Oh, uh, it's nothing.
[03:19] Kuon
    It feels like I've forgotten
    something important...
[03:25] Kuon
    Was I asleep for a long time?
[03:27] Fumirul
    Ten days.
[03:29] Fumirul
    Do you not remember?
[03:33] Kuon
    I can't remember a thing.
[03:36] Kuon
    What was I...
[03:46] Dorii
    Young Master!
[03:47] Guraa
    Let us do it after all!
[03:49] Oboro
    It's fine. It distracts me.
[03:54] Oboro
    What is it, Aruruu? Camyu?
[03:56] Aruruu
    Oboro, Ku is awake.
[03:58] Oboro
    Really?
[03:59] Camyu
    She's in the bath right now.
[04:08] Fumirul
    Lord Oboro, we're here.
[04:13] Oboro
    Kuon!
[04:16] Kuon
    Wh-What?
[04:17] Oboro
    Is it okay for you to be out of bed?
[04:19] Oboro
    You're feeling all right?
[04:23] Oboro
    Do you not feel well?
    Do you feel sick at all?
[04:27] Kuon
    Wh-What is it, Father?
[04:30] Oboro
    Answer me!
[04:32] Kuon
    Uh... I'm fine, I think.
[04:35] Kuon
    I don't feel sick and nothing hurts.
[04:39] Oboro
    Good.
[04:40] Oboro
    If you're not feeling sick, then I'm glad.
[04:42] Kuon
    Father...
[04:44] Oboro
    Don't worry your father so much.
[04:49] Fumirul
    Lord Oboro was so sick with worry,
    he was pacing all over the place.
[04:53] Aruruu
    It was obnoxious.
[04:54] Camyu
    He tried to help care for you,
    and the ladies-in-waiting kicked him out.
[04:58] Oboro
    What's wrong with trying to
    take care of my daughter?
[05:00] Aruruu
    Everything.
[05:02] Camyu
    I think it's not right for a father
    to try and change a girl her age,
[05:07] Camyu
    or wipe down her sweat.
[05:10] Kuon
    I guess I really did worry him.
[05:14] Oboro
    Kuon, forget that. Let me see your face.
[05:19] Kuon
    Huh?
[05:20] Aruruu
    He tried to put some tea on
    and burned himself again.
[05:23] Oboro
    They're exaggerating. Everything's fine.
[05:26] Kuon
    Again?
[05:28] Kuon
    Father, you should just let
    the others make the tea.
[05:33] Oboro
    Don't say that.
[05:35] Oboro
    I match the tea leaves and
    cups I use to my mood.
[05:38] Oboro
    I can relax and choose what I want to choose,
    without being interrupted by anyone.
[05:42] Oboro
    It's one of my few hobbies.
[05:44] Kuon
    It feels strange, I think,
[05:46] Kuon
    seeing my father's rough hands making
    delicate movements to make tea.
[05:50] Oboro
    Anyway, have you gotten taller?
[05:53] Kuon
    M-Maybe, I think?
[05:55] Kuon
    I'm not sure...
[05:57] Oboro
    You really are her daughter.
[05:59] Oboro
    You're getting even lovelier
    and more beautiful.
[06:06] Oboro
    You won't leave me, right?
[06:09] Kuon
    Father?
[06:11] Oboro
    I mean... you're really not
    feeling sick at all, right?
[06:15] Kuon
    Father, you're exaggerating, I think.
[06:18] Kuon
    I was just in bed for a while.
[06:22] Oboro
    That's how fathers are.
[06:24] Oboro
    What's wrong with being worried
    about my only daughter?
[06:28] Kuon
    I'm really home, aren't I?
[06:30] Kuon
    My homeland, the people I care about...
[06:34] Kuon
    Huh?
[06:35] Aruruu
    What's wrong, Ku?
[06:37] Kuon
    Oh... Nothing.
[06:39] Kuon
    It's nothing, really.
[06:41] Aruruu
    Then let's go have a feast.
[06:43] Camyu
    Yup!
[06:43] Camyu
    We're celebrating your recovery!
[06:47] Fumirul
    Let's go, Ku.
[06:48] Kuon
    Okay!
[07:16] Fumirul
    Ku remembers nothing.
[07:19] Camyu
    Not how she met us in Yamato,
    or how she got home.
[07:24] Camyu
    Or even that she left on a journey.
[07:28] Oboro
    I see.
[07:35] Fumirul
    Ku, you haven't forgotten
    Tuskur, too, have you?
[07:41] Kuon
    Of course not!
[07:52] Kuon
    There are so many places
    I remember. For instance...
[07:57] Kuon
    Yes.
[07:58] Kuon
    I traveled many places...
[08:01] Kuon
    And then Father came to get me.
[08:06] Kuon
    Father came to get me? Why?
[08:16] Kuon
    I can't believe how frustrating it
    is not to be able to remember.
[08:22] Kuon
    Maybe this how he felt, I think?
[08:25] Kuon
    Huh?
[08:27] Kuon
    Who was I thinking about?
[08:35] Kuon
    Kurou and Benawi were out somewhere?
[08:39] Benawi
    We've returned.
[08:41] Oboro
    Welcome back.
[08:42] Kurou
    Glad to be back. Phew, I'm tired.
[08:46] Kurou
    I never get used to traveling by sea.
[08:51] Oboro
    I'll hear your report soon.
[08:53] Oboro
    For now, get some rest.
[08:55] Kurou
    I'll do that.
[08:57] Kurou
    First, I'll take a bath
    to wash off this dirt...
[09:01] Oboro
    Kuon?
[09:04] Kurou
    I was worried about ya, miss!
[09:06] Kurou
    You feelin' better?
[09:08] Kuon
    Y-Yeah, I'm fine.
[09:11] Kurou
    What's wrong?
[09:12] Kuon
    I guess I was on a journey?
[09:15] Kuon
    But I don't remember any of it.
[09:19] Kurou
    You don't remember, huh?
[09:22] Kuon
    You said you were on a trip, right?
[09:24] Kuon
    Was it a military expedition?
[09:26] Kurou
    More like a recon mission.
[09:29] Benawi
    Kurou.
[09:29] Kurou
    Oh, that's right.
[09:31] Kurou
    I've got confirmation of
    what's going on in Yamato.
[09:34] Kuon
    Yamato?
[09:38] Kurou
    It's a mess over there!
[09:41] Oboro
    We'll talk about that later.
[09:43] Kuon
    The continent on the other
    side of the sea from Tuskur.
[09:47] Kuon
    There was no diplomacy between our nations
[09:49] Kuon
    because of how hard it was to cross the ocean.
[09:51] Kuon
    But recently, we began to trade...
[09:54] Kuon
    And I wanted to see what it was like
    before official relations began.
[10:03] Fumirul
    Ku!
[10:04] Oboro
    Kuon?
[10:05] Kuon
    I'm okay, I think.
[10:08] Kuon
    I think I almost remembered...
[10:12] Kurou
    They're having a bad time of it right now.
[10:14] Kurou
    They attacked us out of nowhere,
[10:16] Kurou
    and then halfway through, their Mikado
    died and they had to withdraw.
[10:21] Kurou
    I feel bad for the princess
    he left behind, though.
[10:24] Kurou
    They say she became sick from heartbreak,
[10:27] Kurou
    but the same person who poisoned
    the Mikado poisoned her.
[10:31] Kuon
    Poison? What am I...
[10:35] Kurou
    Officially, the royal guards
    took the princess from where
[10:38] Kurou
    she was being kept and left the capital.
[10:41] Kurou
    But by "left," I mean they were banished.
[10:43] Kurou
    I can't help but feel sympathetic.
[10:46] Kurou
    Not that I should be saying this
    to you, miss, since you were there.
[10:52] Kuon
    I...
[10:59] Kurou
    Still, you leave on one journey,
[11:02] Kurou
    and the next thing I know,
    you're involved in a huge conspiracy.
[11:04] Kurou
    You've always been a real troublemaker.
[11:08] Kurou
    Oh, that's right. You forgot
    what you were doing, right?
[11:13] Kuon
    That's right...
[11:14] Kuon
    I was with them. With you.

[11:28] Benawi
    Where do you think you're going?
[11:31] Benawi
    Don't tell me you've forgotten your role.
[11:35] Benawi
    You are the heir to a great
    and holy bloodline,
[11:39] Benawi
    and the only one who can become an owlo.
[11:42] Benawi
    Our Highness, Princess of Tuskur!
    Kuon, the Divine Scion!
[11:49] Benawi
    You're not such a child that you don't know
    what it means for the Princess of Tuskur
[11:54] Benawi
    to be involved in another nation's politics.
[11:58] Kuon
    But if I'm just Kuon...
[11:59] Benawi
    Then that only makes it worse.
[12:01] Benawi
    What could you do if you
    went alone, with no help?
[12:08] Oboro
    Enough.
[12:12] Oboro
    So you've remembered.
[12:17] Oboro
    Your love for your friends...
    I understand that.
[12:20] Oboro
    But you'll be seeing them soon,
    so there's no need to hurry.
[12:24] Kuon
    Do you mean...
[12:26] Oboro
    As you know, the Mikado of
    our enemy, Yamato, has fallen.
[12:31] Kuon
    Enemy?
[12:33] Oboro
    He has no clear heir. The nation is in chaos.
[12:38] Oboro
    With no ruler, the place is a
    viper's nest of plots as its people
[12:41] Oboro
    turn against each other.
[12:44] Oboro
    The Akuruka, the greatest
    threat to us, are now divided.
[12:48] Oboro
    Yamato's former glory is gone.
[12:53] Oboro
    Tuskur will take advantage of this state...
[12:56] Oboro
    and invade Yamato.
[13:03] Kuon
    Why?
[13:05] Oboro
    They picked this fight with us.
[13:07] Oboro
    And if they want a fight, they'll have it.
[13:08] Oboro
    We have to destroy them before
    they attack Tuskur again.
[13:12] Kuon
    But Anju wouldn't...
[13:15] Benawi
    As things stand, Princess Anju
    cannot return to the capital.
[13:20] Benawi
    You should know this well, Princess.
[13:24] Kuon
    Benawi...
[13:26] Oboro
    The invasion of Yamato
    has already been decided.
[13:29] Oboro
    You are a child. Nothing you
     say can change that.
[13:34] Kuon
    But...
[13:35] Oboro
    Take her away.
[13:39] Oboro
    Take some time to cool your head.
[13:41] Fumirul
    Come on, Ku.
[13:43] Kuon
    Wait, I...
[13:46] Benawi
    Princess, you feel something
    wrong within you, don't you?
[13:51] Benawi
    What you feel is your disease, which you
    thought had healed, taking root once more.
[14:00] Benawi
    The physicians tell us that they
    fear your disease has returned.
[14:07] Kuon
    I don't understand what you're saying, I think.
[14:10] Kuon
    I'm not sick...
[14:13] Benawi
    It's no surprise you don't remember.
[14:15] Benawi
    You were very young.
[14:18] Camyu
    When you were little, you suddenly collapsed.
[14:23] Camyu
    You had a really high fever,
[14:26] Camyu
    but then you suddenly got freezing cold.
[14:28] Fumirul
    I had no idea...
[14:30] Camyu
    We knew almost immediately that it was
[14:34] Camyu
    the same disease that took
    the life of your mother.
[14:39] Benawi
    If the disease comes back,
    your body won't be able to take it.
[14:45] Benawi
    You will collapse.
[14:47] (Flashback) Eruruu
    Listen to me, Kuon.
[14:48] (Flashback) Eruruu
    Promise me you won't listen to the voice
    from the depths, the voice inside.
[14:54] Benawi
    If you focus on getting better and resting,
[14:59] Benawi
    it will go away, they say.
[15:03] Kurou
    You sure you don't want
    to tell her the truth?
[15:07] Kurou
    Her illness is long healed.
[15:10] Kurou
    No, her blood...
[15:11] Oboro
    I understand what you're trying to say.
[15:14] Oboro
    But it's not time yet.
[15:16] Kurou
    Got it.
[15:18] Oboro
    And you're in no position to talk.
[15:20] Kurou
    You've got me there.
[15:23] Camyu
    That's right!
[15:25] Camyu
    We were planning to have her
    take her time remembering,
[15:27] Camyu
    and then what you said
    woke up her memories.
[15:30] Kurou
    I don't know what you mean.
[15:33] Aruruu
    You're fooling no one.
[15:35] Kurou
    I get it, really.
[15:38] Kurou
    But what if she just remembered one day?
[15:43] Kurou
    Knowing her, I can just see her vanishing
    without a word to the rest of us.
[15:50] Kurou
    Still, the way she's more worried
    about her friends than herself...
[15:54] Kurou
    Where'd she get that from?
[15:57] Oboro
    That's only natural.
[15:59] Oboro
    She's my daughter, after all.
[16:05] Camyu
    What do we do?
[16:06] Camyu
    Ku's memories came back.
[16:08] Aruruu
    It's fine.
[16:09] Camyu
    But...
[16:11] (Flashback) Kuon
    Father came for me?
[16:14] Camyu
    What she's saying doesn't make sense.
[16:18] Camyu
    That was...
[16:28] (Flashback) Kuon
    Father, it hurts...
[16:32] (Flashback) Kuon
    It's like something's squeezing my heart...
[16:36] (Flashback) Kuon
    Like my chest's going to burst...
[16:39] (Flashback) Kuon
    I've never felt this way...
[16:42] (Flashback) Kuon
    It hurts! It hurts!
[16:45] (Flashback) Kuon
    It hurts!
[16:47] (Flashback) Oboro
    I see.
[16:49] (Flashback) Oboro
    You were in love.
[16:53] (Flashback) Kuon
    Love?
[16:55] (Flashback) Oboro
    Yes... that feeling is love.
[17:07] Camyu
    I read once that when you have an experience
[17:10] Camyu
    that's too painful to bear,
    the mind creates new memories
[17:15] Camyu
    to replace the memories of it,
    to keep the heart from breaking.
[17:18] Oboro
    So why is there a need to
    wake a dozing child at all?
[17:23] Oboro
    Isn't all of reality
    basically a dream, anyway?
[17:27] Oboro
    In Kuon's mind, it's reality.
[17:30] Oboro
    Even if it is a dream.
[17:50] Kuon
    I have to get back...
[17:51] Kuon
    I was so terrible to everyone.
[17:57] Kuon
    Why, at such an important time?
[18:01] Dorii
    Young Master!
[18:03] Guraa
    The princess!
[18:22] Kuon
    I have to apologize to everyone...
[18:31] Kuon
    I'm almost to the border.
[18:37] Aruruu
    Ku...
[18:38] Camyu
    I knew you'd try to run.
[18:41] Kuon
    You're not going to let me go?
[18:43] Aruruu
    No.
[18:44] Camyu
    You're still sick. You can't
    do something so reckless.
[18:48] Kuon
    But I...
[18:51] Aruruu
    You're strong, Ku.
[18:53] Aruruu
    You've broken your sickness,
     and now you rule it.
[18:56] Aruruu
    But you may not keep it down forever.
[19:00] Aruruu
    Someday, it will break free.
[19:03] Kuon
    I won't lose to my illness!
[19:05] Kuon
    I'll do my best,
[19:07] Kuon
    and if it still beats me,
[19:09] Kuon
    then I wasn't worth anything anyway—
[19:15] Aruruu
    Not worth anything?
[19:19] Aruruu
    Ku, when you were born, you received
    all the love a child could have.
[19:23] Aruruu
    Your life is love itself.
[19:25] Aruruu
    I won't let anyone make
    light of that. Even you.
[19:37] Kuon
    I'm sorry...
[19:39] Aruruu
    You use your power for everyone.
[19:42] Aruruu
    Even if you get hurt, even if it takes
     years off your life, you fight.
[19:50] Aruruu
    Because you are your father's daughter.
[19:55] Oboro
    Do you want to save your friends so badly?
[19:59] Oboro
    You are my daughter, destined at birth to
    inherit my position and lead the people.
[20:06] Oboro
    If you would abandon your people to go,
    then I won't try to stop you.
[20:12] Benawi
    Princess, if you care for your friends,
[20:15] Benawi
    then first calm yourself and
    look at the larger picture.
[20:20] Kuon
    The larger picture?
[20:23] Benawi
    Think about who you are,
[20:26] Benawi
    and what only you can do.
[20:29] Benawi
    Haven't you forgotten those things?
[20:31] Kuon
    Who I am? What I can do?
[20:37] Dorii/Guraa
    Reporting!
[20:40] Oboro
    So it's begun.
[20:42] Oboro
    They even have a fake princess?
[20:44] Benawi
    That only makes things worse
    for Princess Anju, does it not?
[20:50] Oboro
    I don't like it.
    Someone's plotting in the shadows.
[20:57] Kuon
    Everyone... What do I...
[20:59] (Flashback) Benawi
    If you care for your friends,
[21:01] (Flashback) Benawi
    then first calm yourself and
    look at the larger picture.
[21:08] Kuon
    Right...
[21:09] Kurou
    So what do we do?
[21:11] Kurou
    It'll be a bit tougher now to take advantage
    of the chaos and bring down Yamato.
[21:17] Oboro
    It doesn't change a thing.
[21:19] Oboro
    It would be boring otherwise.
[21:21] Kuon
    I will go to Yamato.
[21:26] Kuon
    Father, order me to lead
    the attack on Yamato.
[21:31] Kuon
    I will conquer it.
[21:35] Kurou
    We just told you to rest.
[21:39] Kuon
    I will only give orders.
[21:42] Kuon
    I will not steal from our warriors
    their hard-earned glory.
[21:45] Kuon
    It will be fine.
[21:48] Aruruu
    Let her go.
[21:50] Camyu
    But...
[21:54] Kuon
    I'm sorry, Benawi.
[21:56] Kuon
    As you said, I had lost
    sight of the bigger picture.
[22:00] Kuon
    I must slay those who seek
    to harm Tuskur. Correct?
[22:05] Benawi
    You will suffer.
[22:08] Benawi
    Your friends will call you
    a traitor and hate you.
[22:16] Kuon
    I am Kuon.
[22:18] Kuon
    The daughter of Oboro, Lord of Tuskur,
[22:20] Kuon
    and heir to the blood of
    the first ruler, Hakuowlo.
[22:24] Kuon
    Kuon, the Divine Scion!
[22:27] Oboro
    Then as Lord of Tuskur,
    I give you these orders!
[22:31] Oboro
    Lead our finest troops and capture Yamato!
[22:35] Kuon
    I humbly accept your order.
[22:39] Kuon
    That's... right.
[22:41] Kuon
    The time when I could be just
    plain old Kuon is over.
[22:49] Kuon
    Kurou! Benawi!
[22:51] Kuon
    We go!
