[00:02] Raiko
    So this is it?
[00:04] Woshis
    Yes. It's unfinished, though,
    so I'm not sure if it will work.
[00:09] Raiko
    As always, you have the
    most disgusting taste.
[00:12] Woshis
    I'll take that as a compliment.
[00:15] Woshis
    I'll do everything I can, but I can't
    promise the effects will stabilize.
[00:20] Raiko
    That's fine.
[00:21] Raiko
    The more powerful pawns I have, the better.

[01:56] Kuon
    That shape...
[01:58] Kuon
    So the rumors that they used
    the old ruins were true, I think.
[02:02] Nekone
    I've never seen the real thing before!
[02:08] Haku
    What's wrong?
[02:09] Rulutieh
    N-Nothing...
[02:10] Rulutieh
    I'm just a little nervous.
[02:13] Haku
    It's been a long time since you've
    been reunited with your family.
[02:15] Haku
    Enjoy your time with them.
[02:17] Rulutieh
    Um, after this, I...
[02:22] Rulutieh
    Nothing.

[02:32] Villagers
    Princess Rulutieh!
[02:33] Villagers
    It's Princess Rulutieh!
[02:34] Villagers
    Welcome home, Princess Rulutieh!
[02:36] Villagers
    Princess Rulutieh!
[02:36] Rulutieh
    Um, everyone... It's good to see you again.
[02:39] Villagers
    Welcome home!
[02:41] Villagers
    Welcome home!
[02:44] Villagers
    Welcome home!
[02:46] Kiwru
    She's popular.
[02:48] Kuon
    She's a princess. That's expected, I think.
[02:55] Rulutieh
    That's Kujyuri Castle!
[03:06] Haku
    Well, they were quick to let us in, but...
[03:13] Kuon
    Worst case, we might end
    up surrounded, I think.
[03:15] Haku
    If that happens, protect Her Highness.
[03:27] Ozen
    Rulutieh!
[03:28] Rulutieh
    Father!
[03:32] Ozen
    Come, Rulutieh!
[03:33] Ozen
    Sit on Daddy's lap like you always do!
[03:40] Ozen
    What's wrong?
[03:42] Ozen
    Do you have a fever?
[03:44] Ozen
    This is awful! An herbalist!
    Someone call an herbalist!
[03:45] Rulutieh
    Father...
[03:48] Ozen
    Oh, no! Oh, no!
[03:50] Yashmah
    Calm yourself, Father.
[03:52] Yashmah
    Rulutieh's face is flushed because
    you're embarrassing yourself!
[03:58] Ozen
    R-Really?
[04:04] Yashmah
    How've you been, Rulutieh?
[04:06] Rulutieh
    Brother!
[04:08] Yashmah
    I am Yashmah of Kujyuri.
[04:10] Yashmah
    I see you've been taking good
    care of my sister Rulutieh.
[04:14] Ozen
    Ahem! Ahem!
[04:17] Ozen
    Welcome, Oshtor!
[04:20] Haku
    I'm glad to see you well, Ozen.
[04:23] Haku
    Your Highness...
[04:25] Anju
    Yes.
[04:28] Anju
    It's good to see you again, Ozen!
[04:31] Ozen
    Could it be...
[04:32] Anju
    I'm told that someone is spreading
    silly rumors that I'm a fake.
[04:38] Anju
    But I'm sure you won't
    say you've forgotten me.
[04:42] Ozen
    Your eyes, your voice...
[04:47] Ozen
    We could never mistake you for anyone else!
[04:51] Ozen
    You are the true princess!
[04:54] Ozen
    No, the only person fit to rule Yamato!
[04:59] Anju
    Indeed.
[05:00] Ozen
    B-By the way...
[05:03] Ozen
    Is Rulutieh proving of use to you?
[05:07] Haku
    Of course.
[05:09] Haku
    It's no exaggeration to say that Rulutieh's
    support is what keeps us going.
[05:14] Haku
    Ozen, I'm sure you now understand
    that my cause is righteous.
[05:22] Haku
    I ask you once more to bring Kujyuri
    to stand under Her Highness's banner.
[05:28] Ozen
    W-Well...
[05:32] Anju
    Ozen!
[05:33] Anju
    Don't tell me that you'll still refuse,
    even knowing who I am?
[05:37] Ozen
    O-Of course not!
[05:38] Yashmah
    We all want to help you!
[05:43] Ozen
    B-But... there's a problem.
[05:46] Anju
    A problem?
[05:51] Shis
    Rulutieh!
[05:53] Shis
    Rulutieh! Rulutieh! Rulutieh!
[05:57] Shis
    Rulutieh! Rulutieh! Rulutieh!
[05:59] Shis
    Rulu! Welcome back!
[06:02] Rulutieh
    No, not here!
[06:05] Haku
    Don't tell me she's...
[06:07] Yashmah
    This piece of garbage...
    Ahem, this woman is...
[06:11] Shis
    Rulutieh's sister, Shis!
[06:15] Kuon
    Rulutieh's sister, huh?
[06:17] Nekone
    They kind of look similar...
[06:19] Kiwru
    But their personalities are total opposites.
[06:23] Rulutieh
    I thought you went off to get married!
[06:26] Shis
    Oh, him? He was a total loser.
[06:28] Shis
    No way.
[06:30] Shis
    I'd be happier marrying Cocopo!
[06:33] Shis
    So from now on, you and I
    will be together forever!
[06:38] Rulutieh
    U-Um, are you coming with us, Sister?
[06:42] Shis
    Of course not!
[06:44] Shis
    You're staying with me
    in this castle forever!
[06:49] Rulutieh
    But I have to stay with Anju
    as her lady-in-waiting.
[06:53] Shis
    Lady-in-waiting?
[06:55] Shis
    I was a fool to believe the words
    of my idiot father and brother.
[07:00] Shis
    Fine, I'll tell her.
[07:05] Shis
    Your Highness, I have a request
    regarding our alliance.
[07:12] Anju
    A request?
[07:13] Shis
    Would you return Rulutieh to me—no, to us?
[07:20] Anju
    What?
[07:22] Shis
    Please, allow her to return home.
[07:26] Rulutieh
    S-Sister, I'm not the old Rulutieh
    who just cried all the time!
[07:33] Rulutieh
    I want to go with Princess Anju.
[07:37] Shis
    Rulutieh...
[07:38] Ozen
    Well said!
[07:39] Yashmah
    That's my sister!
[07:42] Shis
    Rulutieh, it's wonderful
    that you want to do that.
[07:47] Shis
    Gentle Rulutieh... You truly are so kind.
[07:51] Shis
    But even sadder things await you.
[07:56] Shis
    Your heart will be deeply wounded.
[08:00] Shis
    Will you be able to handle that?
[08:04] Rulutieh
    I...
[08:11] Kuon
    May I speak?
[08:12] Haku
    Kuon?
[08:13] Kuon
    Um, is this going to take a while?
[08:17] Shis
    I'm sorry?
[08:18] Kuon
    If it is, I was hoping I could
    get some tea, I think...
[08:23] Nekone
    Th-That's right! I'm really thirsty!
[08:27] Kiwru
    And I was just thinking
    about how hungry I am...
[08:29] Twins
    Good tea leaves.
[08:31] Twins
    I've heard that Kujyuri has good tea leaves.
[08:34] Anju
    Y-Yeah. I'm tired from my long journey.
[08:38] Anju
    I'd love to have some tea and relax...
[08:42] Ozen
    Oh, my! How rude of us, to not
    properly welcome the princess!
[08:45] Yashmah
    I-I'm so sorry!
[08:47] Yashmah
    We'll prepare a feast immediately!
[08:49] Anju
    Excellent. I'll be staying for a while.
[08:51] Rulutieh
    U-Um...
[08:53] Haku
    I'm sure you can't think with
    everyone gawking at you.
[08:57] Haku
    Get some rest.
[08:59] Rulutieh
    Okay...
[09:09] N
    Wow!
[09:11] Anju
    Well done!
[09:12] Kiwru
    I was really hungry, so this is delicious!
[09:18] Yashmah
    Oshtor,
[09:21] Yashmah
    would you please persuade Rulutieh
    to remain with your liege?
[09:26] Yashmah
    I understand my sister's concerns.
[09:28] Yashmah
    But I don't think she should stay here!
[09:32] Yashmah
    Rulutieh is a truly kind girl.
[09:35] Yashmah
    But if my sister is always around her,
[09:38] Yashmah
    she'll end up never being
    able to do anything herself.
[09:42] Yashmah
    I don't know why my sister
    doesn't understand that.
[09:48] Rulutieh
    Sister?
[09:51] Shis
    Come closer.
[09:56] Shis
    Remember this?
[09:58] Rulutieh
    Mother's flute!
[10:00] Shis
    When you were young, you'd get
    a cold from the slightest draft,
[10:04] Shis
    and if you ran even a little,
    you'd trip and scrape your knee.
[10:09] Shis
    When you had that terrible fever,
    I was worried you wouldn't survive.
[10:14] Rulutieh
    Sister...
[11:00] Shis
    Oshtor.
[11:07] Shis
    First, have a drink.
[11:10] Shis
    I apologize for letting you
    see me like that earlier.
[11:18] Haku
    No, family is important to everyone.
[11:24] Shis
    She's a kind girl.
[11:27] Shis
    I know she's forcing herself to stay for
    the sake of the princess and Yamato.
[11:32] Shis
    If you need another warrior, I will
    go to the battlefield in her stead.
[11:37] Shis
    So please, let Rulutieh remain here.
[11:44] Haku
    I understand how you feel.
[11:48] Haku
    But...
[11:58] Rulutieh
    Oshtor?
[12:03] Rulutieh
    Here, this will warm you up.
[12:06] Haku
    I'm sorry. You were about to sleep, right?
[12:09] Rulutieh
    N-No...
[12:11] Rulutieh
    And I'm the one who should be
    apologizing for my sister.
[12:14] Haku
    No, you're lucky to have
    such a wonderful family.
[12:18] Rulutieh
    Yes.
[12:21] Rulutieh
    Um...
[12:22] Haku
    Hm?
[12:23] Rulutieh
    Wh-What do you think?
[12:29] Rulutieh
    If I'm a burden to you, then I...
[12:36] Haku
    I said this to Shis as well, but I believe
    your feelings are what matter most here.
[12:42] Rulutieh
    You do?
[12:44] Haku
    Which is why I want to ask you...
[12:46] Haku
    What do you want to do?
[12:49] Rulutieh
    What do I want?
[12:50] Haku
    You said you're a burden,
[12:53] Haku
    but I've never felt that way.
[12:57] Haku
    Nor has Her Highness, nor Kuon,
     nor Nekone, nor anyone.
[13:01] Haku
    We all count on you.
[13:03] Rulutieh
    N-No, I'm not...
[13:07] Haku
    If there's one thing we would ask you,
[13:10] Haku
    it's what's in your heart.
[13:12] Rulutieh
    In my heart?
[13:14] Haku
    What is it you want to do?
[13:17] Haku
    Why are you here with us?
[13:20] Haku
    Loyalty to the princess?
[13:22] Haku
    Or pity for us in our plight?
[13:25] Rulutieh
    It's...
[13:28] Haku
    Why have you come this far?
[13:32] Rulutieh
    I... I...
[13:45] Rulutieh
    That iron fan...
[13:48] Rulutieh
    It's Haku's, right?
[13:51] Rulutieh
    You're not here out of loyalty,
     or for a cause.
[13:55] Rulutieh
    It's because of your love for him, isn't it?
[13:59] Haku
    Perhaps it is.
[14:02] Haku
    No, I hope it is.
[14:05] Rulutieh
    I think I finally understand.
[14:08] Rulutieh
    Maybe it's because of my feelings
    for Haku that I'm here.
[14:12] Rulutieh
    The things he was willing to
    sacrifice his life to protect,
[14:15] Rulutieh
    the friends he treasured, this
    place... I want to protect them!
[14:20] Rulutieh
    Maybe I'm just doing it for my own sake.
[14:23] Rulutieh
    Maybe it's just because I never got
    a chance to tell him how I feel.
[14:28] Rulutieh
    But now, it's my turn to protect
    the things he wanted to protect.
[14:35] Rulutieh
    Is that not enough of a reason
    to stay with everyone?
[14:40] Haku
    It's more than enough.
    I'm sure Haku would be happy to hear that.
[14:45] Rulutieh
    Yes.
[14:53] Rulutieh
    I... I'd like to go with Anju!
[14:58] Ozen
    Oh... Oh!
[15:01] Yashmah
    Wonderful!
[15:02] Yashmah
    You make our family proud!
[15:08] Ozen
    Oshtor, Your Highness,
[15:10] Ozen
    please take good care of Rulutieh!
[15:13] Anju
    Of course! You can count on us!
[15:15] Shis
    Why?
[15:23] Shis
    Why? Why?
[15:28] Rulutieh
    Sister?
[15:29] Shis
    Why? Tell me why...
[15:34] Shis
    Why are you leaving me?
[15:36] Shis
    Do you not like me anymore?
[15:39] Rulutieh
    No... No, Sister!
[15:42] Rulutieh
    I want to go with them! That's all!
[15:46] Rulutieh
    I think you're right. A lot of horrible
    things will happen from now on.
[15:51] Rulutieh
    But they need me, even as I am!
[15:55] Rulutieh
    They told me they needed me!
[15:57] Rulutieh
    And I want to help them...
[15:59] Rulutieh
    So Sister, I want you to help me, too!
[16:04] Shis
    Rulutieh...
[16:06] Shis
    Rulutieh, you don't understand anything.
[16:11] Rulutieh
    S-Sister...
[16:13] Shis
    Not about war, or the pressures
    of being a lady-in-waiting!
[16:17] Shis
    That's why I won't let you go!
[16:20] Shis
    If there's anyone who would
    make you suffer, I'll...
[16:24] Haku
    What about you?
[16:25] Haku
    What do you know about Rulutieh?
[16:28] Haku
    Rulutieh isn't weak.
[16:31] Haku
    She's just kind and compassionate
    toward everyone.
[16:38] Rulutieh
    Oshtor...
[16:40] Shis
    So it's you...
[16:43] Shis
    You're the one who deceived her!
[16:48] Yashmah
    Oshtor!
[16:49] Anju
    Wait!
[16:52] Anju
    I believe in Oshtor!
[16:55] Haku
    Shis, you said you wanted
    to protect Rulutieh, right?
[16:59] Anju
    That's my job as her older sister!
[17:01] Anju
    What's wrong with that?
[17:03] Haku
    A noble thought. But can a weak
    girl like you protect her?
[17:18] Shis
    Very well. If you insist,
    then I won't hold back!
[17:31] Shis
    Imperial Guard of the Right, Oshtor!
     A worthy opponent!
[17:38] Anju
    Begin!
[17:54] Shis
    Can you dodge this?
[18:08] Haku
    Now it's my turn.
[18:13] Kuon
    So this is Oshtor...
[18:14] Kiwru
    Amazing, Brother!
[18:18] Anju
    Indeed! Wonderful!
[18:24] Shis
    I won't let you have Rulutieh!
[18:32] Shis
    Don't blame me if you don't survive this.
[18:36] Haku
    I'll keep Rulutieh safe myself,
    no matter what danger may come!
[18:46] Rulutieh
    Oshtor!
[19:04] Anju
    The battle is over!
[19:14] Rulutieh
    Sister!
[19:15] Shis
    I'm sorry, Rulutieh.
[19:17] Rulutieh
    Thank you, Sister.
[19:21] Rulutieh
    I'm so grateful for all the love
    and protection you've given me.
[19:28] Rulutieh
    It's because of you that
    I am the person I am today.
[19:32] Rulutieh
    Please be proud that all your love turned me
[19:34] Rulutieh
    from a little crybaby girl into who I am now.
[19:39] Shis
    Rulutieh...
[19:43] Haku
    I must apologize for insulting
    and provoking you,
[19:48] Haku
    even if I did it to put an end to this.
[19:52] Haku
    You aren't weak. Your strength
    is worth a thousand warriors.
[19:58] Haku
    No normal man could fight you and win.
[20:02] Shis
    It's too late for flattery...
[20:04] Haku
    No, it's the unshakable truth.
[20:10] Haku
    If you'll forgive my rudeness,
[20:14] Haku
    I'd like to ask once again
    that you fight by our side.
[20:18] Haku
    Her Highness needs you,
    and the rest of Kujyuri.
[20:27] Shis
    Oshtor...
[20:38] Haku
    Shis, I want to say this again.
[20:41] Haku
    Anything can happen in war.
[20:44] Haku
    So when I make this promise,
    you may not believe me.
[20:50] Haku
    But as long as I live,
    I will protect Rulutieh.
[20:55] Haku
    I promise this.
[20:57] Rulutieh
    Oshtor...
[20:59] Shis
    Yes...
[21:01] Shis
    I'll believe in Rulutieh.
[21:04] Shis
    And in you, too.
[21:09] Shis
    Take this.
[21:12] Rulutieh
    But this is...
[21:14] Shis
    Take it and use it, and know that
    Mother and I are always with you.
[21:38] Haku
    Do you wish you could've stayed longer?
[21:39] Rulutieh
    No, that's not it.
[21:43] Rulutieh
    Everything looks different now than
    it did the first day I left my home.
[21:50] Haku
    That's probably because the
    fog in your heart has lifted.
[21:59] Rulutieh
    Yes!
