[00:16] ---
    It is time to take you on another
    journey into the book worlds.
[00:21] ---
    It looks like such a peaceful place,
    but things aren't always what they seem...
[00:50] ---
    Come on, give it up already.
[00:59] ---
    I want to see you but I can't
    see you because it hurts so much.
[01:03] ---
    I'm sure I must
    be missing something...
[01:07] ---
    ...and that's why my
    prayer hasn't been answered.
[01:10] ---
    (Yami, the Hat and the Book traveler)
    ...and that's why my
    prayer hasn't been answered.
[01:14] ---
    I had always believed
    that what I saw before me...
[01:21] ---
    ...was the only truth there was.
[01:29] ---
    But now I know
    there isn't just one world.
[01:36] ---
    There are a thousand worlds called
    "if" and I don't know which way to turn.
[01:47] ---
    I want to see you but
    I can't see you; where are you now?
[01:51] ---
    I'll find you no matter the cost.
[01:54] ---
    I've wandered into the
    labyrinth of your eyes.
[02:02] ---
    Even if the darkness bars my path...
[02:06] ---
    ...even if my weak heart
    is led astray, I won't give up.
[02:12] ---
    I'll keep searching for you.
[02:33] ---
    Fairy Magic
    Flame Throw Explosion!
[02:39] ---
    Fujihime
[02:42] ---
    You think you can fight
    us with this kind of magic?
[02:46] ---
    Ready to die?!
[02:53] ---
    Who are you?
[02:55] ---
    That's unmanly of you.
[03:33] ---
    You got lucky today, fox witch.
[03:35] ---
    But you will get
    no second chance.
[03:37] ---
    You too.
[03:45] ---
    You saved my life!
[03:47] ---
    Thank you so much!
[03:50] ---
    My name is Meiri, the Youku.
[03:51] ---
    Youku is not a person's name,
    it's a fox demon.
[03:55] ---
    Can I call you "big sis"?
[03:58] ---
    By the way, your outfit
    is very unusual, what is it?
[04:01] ---
    A sailor outfit.
[04:02] ---
    Not even demons have such
    weird things, where did you get it?
[04:07] ---
    Who were those samurais?
[04:09] ---
    They're the guards of the bamboo
    fortress on top of that mountain.
[04:12] ---
    I was just trying to pass by and
    they made such a big deal out of it.
[04:20] ---
    Bamboo fortress.
[04:24] ---
    My apologies, princess.
[04:26] ---
    We were so close to
    destroying that fox witch.
[04:30] ---
    I understand.
[04:32] ---
    But even a fox witch,
    it is a living creature.
[04:36] ---
    Can you try not to hurt her?
[04:39] ---
    With all due respect,
    she's a kind of demon.
[04:45] ---
    We cannot allow her any
    possibility of risk to your safety.
[04:47] ---
    Indeed. Protecting you is
    our highest priority and duty.
[04:52] ---
    Such is the law of the Bamboo
    clan who have served your family...
[04:55] ---
    ...from generation to generation.
[04:56] ---
    Please try to understand.
[05:03] ---
    Oh, where did Hazuki go?
[05:07] ---
    I bet she hasn't gone far.
[05:11] ---
    We all came here together.
[05:16] ---
    She doesn't need to be so mean.
[05:17] ---
    She said "I'll go find Hatsumi."
[05:24] ---
    Oh, you came at
    the perfect time.
[05:26] ---
    Did you see a girl dressed
    like this with a really mean look?
[05:31] ---
    Hey!
[05:35] ---
    Oh?
[05:36] ---
    Wow, she can run fast.
[05:50] ---
    A mysterious power?
[05:52] ---
    Just between you and I,
    it is said that the princess...
[05:55] ---
    ...in the Bamboo fortress
    has mysterious powers.
[05:59] ---
    So I was thinking that if I get close
    to her, I could increase my powers.
[06:11] ---
    I don't know why but the closer
    I get, the stranger the feeling I get.
[06:40] ---
    You are late, Suzuka.
[06:50] ---
    I am sorry, my lord.
[07:00] ---
    We, Oboro kunoichi clan
    are here, ready to serve you.
[07:05] ---
    Finally, the order has
    arrived from the country.
[07:08] ---
    Grand master, we are all
    honored and at your disposal.
[07:10] ---
    We must abduct the
    princess from Bamboo fortress...
[07:13] ---
    ...and bring to our Highness.
[07:17] ---
    If we can obtain
    the power from the princess,...
[07:19] ---
    ...our lord can declare
    himself ruler of this country.
[07:22] ---
    Tonight, we will
    attack the Bamboo fortress.
[07:26] ---
    Yes sir.
[08:10] ---
    Why did I come all the way here?
[08:17] ---
    Just because of a
    funny feeling I had?
[08:24] ---
    It is said that the princess in the
    Bamboo fortress has magical powers.
[08:32] ---
    Hatsumi.
[08:33] ---
    Princess, where are you?
[08:35] ---
    In the garden.
[08:40] ---
    It's not safe over there,
    please don't fall in the lake.
[08:43] ---
    I'm fine.
[09:07] ---
    Hatsumi!
[09:14] ---
    If my magic doesn't
    work on those samurais,...
[09:17] ---
    ...then it will be
    harder to get to the fortress.
[09:23] ---
    It would be of great help
    if "big sis" was on my side.
[09:29] ---
    It's really such a hassle.
[09:33] ---
    Exactly.
[09:36] ---
    I don't wanna die, but I really
    want to increase my magical powers.
[09:41] ---
    Of course, nothing is guaranteed
    even if I do get to the princess.
[09:45] ---
    Sounds like a tough choice.
[09:47] ---
    Yeah, it's not
    easy being a fox witch.
[09:51] ---
    If I don't increase my powers...
[09:54] ---
    Huh?
[09:56] ---
    I get it, totally.
[09:58] ---
    Who are you?
[10:01] ---
    Lilith.
[10:02] ---
    And I'm Ken!
[10:21] ---
    Hatsumi.
[10:33] ---
    Intruder!
[10:34] ---
    Everyone, come here!
[10:43] ---
    You again, the
    friend of the fox witch.
[10:47] ---
    I've come to take her back.
[10:49] ---
    What?
[10:52] ---
    Do you actually think
    we would do such a thing?
[10:59] ---
    Kill!
[11:00] ---
    No!
[11:02] ---
    But princess...
[11:07] ---
    Hatsumi.
[11:12] ---
    Princess.
[11:17] ---
    How can I help you?
[11:21] ---
    Hatsumi, it's me, Hazuki!
[11:25] ---
    You don't have to pretend
    like you don't know me.
[11:27] ---
    You only stumbled upon in
    this place by mistake, right?
[11:29] ---
    If your name is not really
    Hatsumi, I'll call you Eve, that's okay.
[11:32] ---
    Have you forgotten me? I'm
    your younger sister, Hazuki!
[11:45] ---
    I am sorry, I am Princess
    Fuji of the Bamboo fortress.
[11:51] ---
    I'm not the one
    you're looking for.
[12:01] ---
    But that comb...
[12:04] ---
    ...it's the one that
    belonged to Hatsumi.
[12:08] ---
    This comb is a family treasure
    passed down for generations.
[12:13] ---
    I was born and
    raised in this fortress.
[12:17] ---
    This is my first
    time I've met you.
[12:36] ---
    Bring this lady to my quarters.
[12:39] ---
    Princess!
[12:40] ---
    She doesn't seem
    like a bad person.
[12:43] ---
    Please.
[12:51] ---
    Have you seen this girl?
[12:52] ---
    Oh, it's "sis."
[12:56] ---
    Yeah, I met her
    near that mountain.
[12:58] ---
    Then where did she go?
[12:59] ---
    To the Bamboo fortress, maybe.
[13:02] ---
    Hey, can you take me there?
[13:13] ---
    By the look of her outfit,...
[13:15] ---
    ...she must be another
    extraordinary person like that "sis."
[13:19] ---
    They can help me
    increase my powers.
[13:23] ---
    Well, what a coincidence.
[13:25] ---
    My older sister always said
    that anybody with a western accent...
[13:30] ---
    ...is a good person.
[13:31] ---
    What a coincidence!
[13:33] ---
    My grandpa told
    me the same thing.
[13:35] ---
    Okay then, let's go
    to Bamboo fortress!
[13:38] ---
    Okay!
[13:54] ---
    Who are they?
[13:57] ---
    The fox girl has
    been around this area...
[14:01] ---
    ...but her magic
    skills are childish.
[14:04] ---
    So we don't need
    to worry about her.
[14:06] ---
    The other girl in the strange
    outfit seems to be a traveller...
[14:09] ---
    ...who just arrived in the village.
[14:12] ---
    They won't get in
    our way, will they?
[14:14] ---
    No. At first I was cautious
    but they're just outcasts.
[14:31] ---
    Why did you save me?
[14:32] ---
    You didn't look
    like a bad person.
[14:37] ---
    Hatsumi used to smile like that.
[14:40] ---
    You really look
    exactly like her.
[14:47] ---
    This is the same comb
    that your sister used?
[14:56] ---
    This has belonged to
    your family for generations?
[14:59] ---
    Yes.
[15:01] ---
    I don't know how
    long it goes back...
[15:03] ---
    ...but it's been passed
    down along with a story.
[15:07] ---
    A story?
[15:12] ---
    One day, a bamboo
    tree began to shimmer.
[15:16] ---
    An old man
    passing by was surprised.
[15:19] ---
    He cut the bamboo open
    and found a baby girl inside.
[15:23] ---
    He brought the baby
    home and named her "Kaguya".
[15:27] ---
    He lovingly raised her.
[15:29] ---
    But there was one
    thing unusual about her.
[15:34] ---
    Although she was able
    to talk, she never tried to.
[15:41] ---
    The rumor about her beauty spread...
[15:44] ---
    ...and many suitors
    came to propose to her.
[15:48] ---
    She refused all their
    offers and just kept smiling.
[15:54] ---
    Then on her 16th birthday...
[15:58] ---
    I know what happened after that.
[16:01] ---
    Kaguya disappeared on
    the morning of her birthday,...
[16:05] ---
    ...leaving just this comb behind.
[16:10] ---
    People said that Kaguya had come
    from the moon and returned there.
[16:15] ---
    The old couple who
    raised her were devastated.
[16:18] ---
    They prayed to the
    comb for Kaguya's return.
[16:23] ---
    Then all of sudden, the field
    became part of the mountain...
[16:29] ---
    ...with this bamboo fortress on top.
[16:33] ---
    I see.
[16:35] ---
    So that's it.
[16:39] ---
    I know why I had a
    bad feeling, Hatsumi.
[16:50] ---
    You know...
[16:53] ---
    What?
[16:54] ---
    How come we have to take the
    long way to get to that mountain?
[16:58] ---
    I am getting tired.
[17:02] ---
    Attention, attention.
[17:04] ---
    This is the least likely route to
    draw attention from the samurai guards.
[17:08] ---
    I know this area.
[17:11] ---
    It's called the wisdom to survive.
[17:15] ---
    You're so smart!
[17:16] ---
    Geez, I have to find Hazuki too.
[17:20] ---
    So frustrated!
[17:24] ---
    Hey, you said there wouldn't
    be any guards on this route!?
[17:30] ---
    I didn't say there wouldn't be any.
[17:33] ---
    We have to get
    through here somehow.
[17:35] ---
    Okay, I'll leave it up to you.
[17:37] ---
    What?
[17:39] ---
    Come on, I bet you can take care
    of those samurais in a flash, right?
[17:46] ---
    Of course I can't.
[17:52] ---
    Hey!
[17:55] ---
    Sorry but we can't
    let you go any further.
[17:58] ---
    You better take
    the other road...
[18:18] ---
    Those were some scary chicks!
[18:25] ---
    Thank you for being so kind.
[18:30] ---
    Don't mention it.
[18:31] ---
    I can't replace
    your sister but...
[18:43] ---
    Princess...
[18:44] ---
    Yes?
[18:45] ---
    Can I stay here a little longer?
[18:52] ---
    Please do.
[19:06] ---
    You want something?
[19:07] ---
    Not really.
[19:11] ---
    The Princess...
[19:14] ---
    ...she seems to trust you.
[19:20] ---
    If our lord trusts someone,
    we must trust them as well.
[19:25] ---
    If you are on our side, please
    help us protect the princess.
[19:33] ---
    I am surprised to hear that.
[19:35] ---
    You have so many
    samurai guards already.
[19:42] ---
    You may be right.
[19:45] ---
    Still...
[19:57] ---
    Good night.
[20:06] ---
    Hey!
[20:20] ---
    They're not so tough after all.
[20:25] ---
    That's weird, they're
    usually more disciplined.
[20:31] ---
    Well, whatever.
[20:40] ---
    Listen carefully.
[20:44] ---
    It's going as we
    planned up to now...
[20:46] ---
    ...but the samurai in the house
    are all true masters of the blade.
[20:52] ---
    Proceed and dispatch them quietly.
[20:57] ---
    Now, go!
[21:45] ---
    I will offer up an eternal prayer.
[21:53] ---
    I will never give up on what matters.
[22:02] ---
    I will go there, praying.
[22:07] ---
    No matter the distance
    between us, I will catch you.
[22:14] ---
    That's a promise between you and I.
[22:22] ---
    Crying, cradling my memories,...
[22:29] ---
    ...won't help even one
    of my feelings to reach you.
[22:37] ---
    I will offer up an eternal prayer.
[22:44] ---
    I will never give up on what matters.
[22:53] ---
    I will find the dawn
    between you and I,...
[23:01] ---
    ...and meet the approaching daybreak.
[23:09] ---
    I will go there, praying.
[23:15] ---
    Ninjas are after the Princess!
[23:17] ---
    So scary, scary!
[23:19] ---
    Now, let's take a
    look at the next book!
[23:50] ---
    Next Time: Meirin
    Yami, the Hat and the Book Traveler.
[23:53] ---
    Please enjoy the
    next story as well.
