[00:07] Haku
    Maro...
[00:12] Haku
    This was for the best.
[00:15] Kiwru
    Brother!
[00:17] Haku
    What is it?
[00:18] Kiwru
    I've received word of a merchant
    who wishes to speak with you.
[00:23] Haku
    At a time like this?
[00:25] Kiwru
    He says he has a letter
    of introduction from Kuon.
[00:30] Haku
    From Kuon?
SIGN    Utawarerumono
SIGN    Mask of Truth
[02:03] Haku
    Someone who can be trusted?
[02:08] Chikinaro
    It is an honor to meet you.
[02:10] Chikinaro
    My name is Chikinaro, yes.
[02:13] Haku
    So Kuon introduced you to me?
[02:16] Chikinaro
    Yes. Kuon is an excellent customer of mine.
[02:21] Chikinaro
    I came here because I heard you might
    have a desire for certain things, yes.
[02:28] Chikinaro
    First, look at these.
[02:31] Shinonon
    Wow!
[02:33] Nosuri
    Look at them all...
[02:35] Rulutieh
    That fabric... Is that Amatsu weaving?
[02:38] Nekone
    This is a fragment of an
    ancient history scroll.
[02:41] Nekone
    Where did you get such rare things?
[02:45] Twins
    They're all real.
[02:46] Twins
    All are worthy of being offered to the Mikado.
[02:50] Haku
    I figured you were from a noble family, Kuon,
[02:55] Haku
    but I didn't expect this.
[02:57] Chikinaro
    I can get you almost anything you need.
[03:01] Chikinaro
    I deal in everything except people.
[03:04] Chikinaro
    That's my policy, yes.
[03:06] Haku
    Including weapons and provisions?
[03:08] Chikinaro
    Of course, if that's what you need.
[03:12] Haku
    This man...
[03:13] Chikinaro
    There is one particular thing Kuon mentioned.
[03:18] Chikinaro
    A rare medicine that heals any poison,
    no matter how deadly.
[03:27] Haku
    How much?
[03:29] Chikinaro
    To be honest, it is rather pricey, yes.
[03:33] Haku
    I'll pay whatever you ask.
[03:35] Haku
    But only after I see that it works.
[03:39] Chikinaro
    Very well, but...
[03:42] Chikinaro
    What collateral will you offer?
[03:43] Haku
    Myself.
[03:45] Nekone
    Brother?
[03:46] Rulutieh
    Oshtor?
[03:50] Haku
    Is that not enough?
[03:53] Chikinaro
    Oh, dear... I fear I've lost this one.
[03:58] Haku
    What do you mean?
[04:00] Chikinaro
    To tell the truth, this was
     given to me by Kuon,
[04:05] Chikinaro
    with strict instructions
    that it be given to you.
[04:09] Chikinaro
    But I couldn't help but play a little game, yes.
[04:12] Haku
    So you were testing us?
[04:15] Chikinaro
    No, not at all.
[04:17] Chikinaro
    This may be the beginning
    of a long relationship,
[04:21] Chikinaro
    so I hope you'll forgive me, yes.
[04:25] Haku
    He's certainly a crafty one.
[04:32] Haku
    Before we go any further,
    I'd like to test this medicine.
[04:34] Haku
    Please, get some rest.
[04:36] Chikinaro
    Of course.
[04:39] Rulutieh
    I hope Anju feels better...
[04:43] Haku
    Kuon's the one who sent us this medicine.
[04:45] Haku
    I know it will work.
[04:48] Rulutieh
    You're right.
[04:53] Atuy
    Here you go...
[04:55] Shinonon
    Kiwru! Kiwru! What's that?
[04:57] Kiwru
    Um, it's...
[05:01] Chikinaro
    Thank you for your business, yes.
[05:04] Chikinaro
    I'll throw this in as a little bonus,
    so do remember me in the future.
[05:09] Atuy
    You're so good at this.
[05:11] Atuy
    I look forward to what you bring next time.
[05:17] Chikinaro
    Oh, Oshtor!
[05:19] Chikinaro
    How is the princess doing?
[05:22] Haku
    We still don't know.
[05:24] Chikinaro
    I see.
[05:25] Chikinaro
    But I guarantee the medicine works, yes.
[05:29] Haku
    I'd like to ask you something.
[05:31] Haku
    What's your relationship to Kuon?
[05:34] Chikinaro
    Um, Kuon told me to say absolutely
    nothing more than was necessary.
[05:42] Chikinaro
    Oh, please don't tell her I said that.
[05:45] Haku
    I see.
[05:46] Haku
    Very well, then.
[05:48] Nekone
    Brother,
[05:49] Nekone
    here's a list of what we'd
    like him to provide us.
[05:54] Chikinaro
    Oh, thank you!
[05:56] Haku
    We'd like to know the
    price as soon as possible.
[05:58] Chikinaro
    Thank you for your business!
[06:02] Chikinaro
    Yes!
[06:05] Haku
    As I thought, there are holes everywhere.
[06:08] Nekone
    The main gate is strong,
[06:10] Nekone
    but for the rest, we rely on the
    mountains surrounding the country.
[06:14] Haku
    We survived the battle with Dekopompo...
[06:17] Nekone
    But we can't fight battles
    like that every time.
[06:21] Haku
    I hope everyone else is too scared to attack.
[06:24] Nekone
    We don't have enough time or
    materials to repair the walls.
[06:29] Nekone
    And we're not strong enough
    to attack anyone...
[06:32] Haku
    Correct.
[06:34] Haku
    Ennakamuy's forces alone aren't
    enough to defeat the court.
[06:39] Anju
    Oshtor!
[06:40] Anju
    Are you here, Oshtor?
[06:42] Anju
    Haku! Where is Haku?
[06:45] Haku
    Princess!
[06:47] Anju
    He never came to see me
    when I was sick, not even once!
[06:50] Anju
    Bring him here right now!
[06:52] Haku
    Princess, I'm overjoyed
    that you're feeling better.
[06:57] Anju
    Yup! Sorry for worrying you!
[07:00] Haku
    But you're still not fully recovered.
[07:03] Haku
    Please, get your rest.
[07:06] Anju
    I'm fine! What about Haku?
[07:09] Anju
    I need to punish him personally!
[07:11] Anju
    Bring him here right—
[07:13] Rulutieh
    Haku... Haku is...
[07:18] Anju
    Wh-What's wrong?
[07:20] Haku
    Haku... Haku fought bravely against Vurai
    during the escape from the capital.
[07:27] Haku
    He defeated him, but died in the battle.
[07:37] Anju
    Why didn't you tell me?
[07:41] Haku
    I'm so sorry.
[07:42] Haku
    If you'd heard that Haku had fallen, your
    sorrow would have made your illness worse.
[07:48] Anju
    But that makes me a fool who didn't even
    grieve for someone who died for my sake...
[07:58] Haku
    Haku died protecting me.
[08:01] Haku
    Any fault lies with me.
[08:07] Haku
    Haku's wish was that your smile would return.
[08:11] Haku
    If he sees that you're doing well,
     I'm sure he'll be happy.
[08:16] Haku
    Please, give him a smile.
[08:20] Anju
    You're right.
[08:22] Haku
    This is what I should be doing, right, Oshtor?
[08:25] Anju
    Haku saved my life.
[08:27] Anju
    Without Haku, I wouldn't be here.
[08:31] Anju
    If I spend all my time crying,
[08:33] Anju
    he'll laugh and tell me
    I wasn't worth saving.
[08:41] Anju
    I'm sorry for worrying you all, everyone!
[08:43] Anju
    I'm fine now!
[08:46] Anju
    First, we must tell the nation...
[08:50] Anju
    that I, the true heir to the Mikado, am here!
[09:00] Haku
    Princess...
[09:02] Anju
    What?
[09:03] Haku
    I'm sorry to tell you this,
[09:05] Haku
    but the empire is returning to peace
    under the banner of a fake empress.
[09:10] Haku
    Given their superior number of troops,
[09:12] Haku
    if you tell the nation you survived,
    they will simply laugh at you.
[09:15] Anju
    Laugh? At me?
[09:18] Haku
    It would be simple for the one
    who set up the false princess
[09:23] Haku
    to capture us and declare us traitors.
[09:27] Haku
    Without strength, even the
    truth can be easily crushed.
[09:30] Anju
    Then what are we supposed to do?
[09:32] Anju
    Are you telling me to stay here forev—
[09:34] Haku
    That is one option.
[09:36] Nosuri
    Oshtor!
[09:38] Haku
    If you keep your existence secret,
    your safety is guaranteed.
[09:44] Haku
    Of course, even if you abandon your title,
[09:48] Haku
    I will continue to serve you.
[09:50] Haku
    But know that telling the world
    that you are the real Anju
[09:56] Haku
    means walking a path of blood.
[10:00] Haku
    Many soldiers and other people will die.
[10:02] Haku
    The war will be like none we've ever seen.
[10:06] Haku
    Your words will cost many their lives.
[10:10] Haku
    Are you ready for that, Princess?
[10:39] Nekone
    Why did you wave at them?
[10:42] Haku
    It seemed to me that's
    what he would have done.
[10:47] Haku
    Nekone?
[10:49] Nekone
    It's nothing.
[10:53] Haku
    So that's...
[10:54] Nekone
    Yes. It's my home.
[10:58] Haku
    So it's also my...
[11:01] Nekone
    Yes. My brother loved his
    mother more than anyone.
[11:06] Nekone
    It would make little sense for
    him to continue to ignore her.
[11:09] Haku
    That's correct.
[11:11] Haku
    But we should at least tell her the truth...
[11:17] Nekone
    If she knew the truth, it might
    make her condition worse.
[11:23] Nekone
    She was never in good health to begin with.
[11:27] Nekone
    Especially lately, her vision's been failing.
[11:32] Haku
    I'm going to hell for this, I'm sure.
[11:42] Nekone
    You're not alone.
[11:45] Haku
    Yes, I know.
[11:49] Nekone
    We're back.
[12:00] Mom
    Oh, welcome home, Nekone.
[12:03] Nekone
    Mother, come with me.
[12:05] Mom
    Thank you.
[12:12] Mom
    Oshtor's with you, isn't he?
[12:17] Haku
    It's been too long, Mother.
[12:20] Mom
    Oh! It really is you, Oshtor!
[12:24] Mom
    You must be busy with your duties,
    but you still came to visit me!
[12:31] Haku
    It wasn't just to visit you.
[12:36] Mom
    I made your favorite, kurukomamutou, today.
[12:40] Mom
    Have some.
[12:42] Haku
    Yes, Mother.
[12:42] Nekone
    I-I'll go get it!
[12:48] Nekone
    Brother, we should go.
[12:50] Haku
    Yes, that's right.
[12:53] Mom
    Oh, but you just got here...
[12:56] Haku
    I'm sorry.
[12:58] Mom
    You have your duties as Imperial
    Guard of the Right, after all.
[13:03] Haku
    Yes.
[13:05] Mom
    Come back any time.
[13:07] Mom
    Next time you do, I hope you can stay longer.
[13:12] Haku
    Was that really okay?
[13:17] Nekone
    It was.
[13:21] Nekone
    It was good enough.
[13:29] Nosuri
    Hold your swords tighter!
[13:55] Nekone
    These two, please.
[14:14] Haku
    I'm still not used to doing
     all this work at a desk.
[14:20] Twins
    Rub, rub.
[14:22] Twins
    Poke, poke.
[14:23] Twins
    You're so stiff again.
[14:25] Twins
    Please, relax.
[14:27] Haku
    I feel so relaxed...
[14:36] Haku
    N-Nekone?
[14:37] N
    What are you doing?
[14:40] Twins
    Serving our master.
[14:41] Twins
    Master seemed tired.
[14:47] Nekone
    Our watchmen are telling us Yamato's
    forces are on their way here.
[14:52] Nekone
    And they're carrying the banner of...
[15:01] Haku
    ...Mikazuchi, of all people.
[15:04] Anju
    Mikazuchi? Are you sure?
[15:07] Kiwru
    It's definitely him!
[15:09] Rulutieh
    Is he on our side?
[15:13] Nosuri
    Indeed!
[15:13] Nosuri
    He came here to save his
    friends in their hour of need!
[15:17] Nosuri
    Mikazuchi is a pillar of loyalty!
[15:20] Anju
    That's right!
[15:21] Anju
    Mikazuchi will surely...
[15:23] Anju
    I'm so glad to have him on our side!
[15:32] Mikazuchi
    Is Oshtor here?
[15:38] Haku
    Mikazuchi...
[15:41] Kiwru
    Brother, let's go welcome him!
[15:44] Haku
    Wait.
[15:46] Kiwru
    Brother?
[15:48] Haku
    Everyone, stay here.
[15:50] Haku
    He wants to talk to me, he says.
[16:18] Haku
    I'm here, Mikazuchi.
[16:25] Mikazuchi
    Oshtor, do you remember the day the
    Mikado appointed us Imperial Guards?
[16:32] Mikazuchi
    Your words, your wish...
[16:35] Mikazuchi
    I've never forgotten them.
[16:39] Mikazuchi
    Oshtor, stay here and live in peace.
[16:45] Mikazuchi
    If you do not tell the world of your
    survival, you're as good as dead.
[16:48] Mikazuchi
    But if you do...
[16:51] Mikazuchi
    I will destroy you all as enemies
    of the Imperial Capital!
[16:54] Mikazuchi
    No matter who you are!
[16:57] Mikazuchi
    Oshtor, what will you do?
[17:00] Mikazuchi
    Ask yourself!
[17:02] Atuy
    It looks like they're about to fight a duel.
SIGN    This looks pretty bad.
[17:08] Nekone
    Princess!
[17:13] Anju
    Wait, Mikazuchi! Wait!
[17:16] Haku
    No, Princess! Get back inside!
[17:19] Anju
    I refuse!
[17:20] Anju
    There's something I have
    to say from my own lips!
[17:25] Mikazuchi
    It's good to see you again, Princess.
[17:28] Anju
    What are you thinking, Mikazuchi?
[17:31] Anju
    There's no way a man like you
    would kneel before an impostor!
[17:36] Anju
    Answer me, Mikazuchi!
[17:38] Mikazuchi
    She wears your robes, and looks like you.
[17:43] Mikazuchi
    But anyone who mistook her for you should
    probably trade their eyes for a burutanta's.
[17:50] Anju
    Then why do you point your sword at me?
[17:52] Mikazuchi
    Because that was the command
    of the Mikado before his death.
[17:58] Mikazuchi
    In his great glory, he gave us two orders.
[18:02] Mikazuchi
    One was to protect his daughter, you.
[18:07] Mikazuchi
    The other was to protect the people
    of Yamato from all disasters.
[18:12] Mikazuchi
    These were the orders he gave to us directly.
[18:17] Mikazuchi
    How much value is there in something
    gained by spilling the people's blood?
[18:22] Mikazuchi
    Fortunately, with Oshtor here,
    you will be protected from all harm.
[18:29] Mikazuchi
    And I will return to the capital and
    fulfill my order to protect the people.
[18:35] Anju
    Mikazuchi, you...
[18:38] Mikazuchi
    I ask that you spend the rest
    of your life here, in peace.
[18:45] Anju
    No...
[18:47] Anju
    I can't do that!
[18:48] Anju
    I'm... I'm Anju!
[18:51] Anju
    The Princess of Yamato, and the next Mikado!
[18:55] Mikazuchi
    You know that can only mean more chaos.
[18:59] Anju
    I don't care about the title of Mikado!
[19:02] Anju
    But... But I have nothing left!
[19:09] Anju
    This name was given to me by my father!
[19:12] Anju
    It's the last thing I have that he left me!
[19:15] Anju
    I'll never give up this name!
[19:20] Mikazuchi
    Everyone has something they want to protect.
[19:25] Mikazuchi
    But if you lack strength,
[19:26] Mikazuchi
    you'll find it stolen from you
    as you're ground into the dust.
[19:29] Mikazuchi
    Even you are no exception, Princess.
[19:34] Mikazuchi
    I will do my duty. That is all.
[19:36] Mikazuchi
    You will live peacefully here
    even if I have to force you to do so.
[19:41] Anju
    Am I just being selfish?
[19:43] Anju
    I want to take back what my father left me.
[19:46] Anju
    Is that selfishness?
[19:50] Haku
    Please listen to me! We—
[19:52] Mikazuchi
    "Please listen to me"?
    When did you become so weak?
[19:57] Anju
    Mikazuchi...
[19:59] Nekone
    Brother?
[20:01] Mikazuchi
    Oshtor, I challenge you!
[20:03] Mikazuchi
    Make your stand!
[20:05] Haku
    He intends to sacrifice Oshtor
    to break the princess's will?
[20:10] Haku
    If that happens, it will end without
    either side's soldiers shedding blood.
[20:15] Haku
    He may sound harsh, but he's
    worried about the princess.
[20:18] Haku
    That's just like him.
    He can't say what he feels.
[20:21] Anju
    Oshtor!
[20:22] Haku
    Princess, get back!
[20:24] Nekone
    Brother!
[20:25] Haku
    Nekone, keep the princess safe.
[20:28] Nekone
    B-But...
[20:29] Haku
    This is a battle we cannot avoid!
[20:34] Nekone
    Princess, let's get further away.
[20:37] Anju
    Oshtor!
[20:38] Anju
    Don't die! That's an order!
[20:42] Haku
    As you wish.
[20:44] Haku
    I need to show Ennakamuy
    that I am truly Oshtor.
[20:50] Haku
    Otherwise...
[20:54] Mikazuchi
    Good.
[20:56] Haku
    To be honest, I can't win.
[20:59] Haku
    But if I can at least land a blow...
[21:06] Mikazuchi
    It doesn't matter.
[21:09] Mikazuchi
    This brings back memories.
[21:11] Mikazuchi
    Back then, we would battle each other
    with swords every day for practice.
[21:16] Mikazuchi
    But now...
[21:17] Mikazuchi
    We face each other for the sake
    of the things we must protect.
[21:22] Mikazuchi
    It's ironic.
[21:25] Mikazuchi
    Now, show me your resolve, Oshtor!
[21:43] Mikazuchi
    Who...
[21:45] Mikazuchi
    Who are you?
[21:51] Mikazuchi
    I've fought you more
    times than I can count.
[21:57] Mikazuchi
    I could never be mistaken.
[21:59] Mikazuchi
    Who...
[22:02] Mikazuchi
    are you?!
