[00:35] Yukiya
    Your Highness!
[00:35] Nazukihiko
    Stay back!
[00:50] Yukiya
    A monkey?
[00:53] Nazukihiko
    Don't let your guard down.
[01:17] Yukiya
    Your Highness...
[01:20] Yukiya
    What happened here?

[03:26] Yukiya
    Your Highness!
[03:29] Yukiya
    This one's alive!
[03:31] Yukiya
    I think he's hurt.
[03:33] Yukiya
    He needs treatment before...
[03:35] Nazukihiko
    Yukiya!
[03:36] Yukiya
    Huh?
[03:40] Yukiya
    L-Let go!
[03:57] Nazukihiko
    Unbelievable. You still
    have room in your belly?
[04:02] Nazukihiko
    Then, eat.
[04:04] Nazukihiko
    But you'll pay for this meal with your life.
[04:07] Yukiya
    Oh, come on!
[04:30] Yukiya
    How did a monkey turn into a person?
[04:35] Nazukihiko
    They can take human shape,
    but they may not understand our speech.
[04:41] Nazukihiko
    I warned him the meal
    would cost him his life,
[04:44] Nazukihiko
    but he didn't even hesitate.
[04:47] Yukiya
    Wh-What if he really had eaten me?
[04:50] Nazukihiko
    I saved you in time, didn't I?
[04:57] Nazukihiko
    We'll check the other houses.
[05:22] Yukiya
    Did they really get the whole village?
[06:01] Nazukihiko
    Yukiya.
[06:01] Yukiya
    Huh?
[06:09] Yukiya
    Sh-She might be a monkey, too.
[06:11] Nazukihiko
    No, she's a yatagarasu.
[06:14] Nazukihiko
    I have no power to harm her.
[06:19] Yukiya
    Come again?
[06:53] Yukima
    Father went out to search the countryside.
    He won't be back until tomorrow.
[06:58] Yukima
    Where's Sir Sumimaru?
[06:59] Yukiya
    He just took his leave.
[07:01] Yukiya
    To bring help from the Center, he said.
[07:03] Yukima
    We could certainly use some.
[07:05] Yukichi
    Hey, is this girl okay?
[07:08] Yukichi
    She's been asleep this whole time.
[07:11] Yukima
    The physician said
    we shouldn't start worrying yet.
[07:16] Yukima
    So no one else survived, huh?
[07:19] Yukima
    Poor girl.
[07:22] Yukiya
    I wonder.
[07:25] Yukiya
    The whole village was slaughtered,
    but she doesn't have a scratch on her.
[07:30] Yukima
    Maybe she got lucky.
[07:32] Yukiya
    "Lucky"?
[07:35] Yukiya
    You wouldn't talk about luck
    if you'd seen that place.
[07:40] Yukiya
    Sorry.
[07:41] Yukima
    No, you're right.
[07:45] Yukima
    We still can't prove she's not a monkey.
[07:49] Yukima
    You've had a rough day.
[07:51] Yukima
    I'll stay awake tonight. You get some rest.
[08:38] Sumio
    That sounds like...
SIGN    The Court
[08:45] Gatekeeper 1
    A post bell?
[08:57] Nazukihiko
    Urgent tidings!
[08:58] Nazukihiko
    Disaster has struck Taruhi in the North!
[09:00] Nazukihiko
    Open the gates!
[09:06] Sumio
    I sent word to the Four Houses.
[09:08] Sumio
    I told them to assemble in Purple Hall.
    In their nightgowns if they have to.
[09:13] Nazukihiko
    Much appreciated.
[09:14] Sumio
    I'm sure they'll grumble about it, though.
[09:17] Sumio
    So...
[09:18] Sumio
    What's in this thing? It's heavy as hell.
[09:22] Nazukihiko
    Smelling salts. They'll wake
    our drowsy ministers right up.
[09:34] Nazukihiko
    Will you still speak of "tall tales"
     after seeing this?
[09:41] Nazukihiko
    This mouth... These very fangs
    devoured a whole village of yatagarasu.
[09:50] Akira
    I... I can't believe it.
SIGN    Lord of the West
    Akira
[09:52] Akira
    Monkeys that feed on yatagarasu?
[09:55] Akira
    Where in Yamauchi did
    such creatures come from?
[09:58] Toru
    We can see the monkeys exist,
    whether you believe in them or not.
SIGN    Lord of the South
    Toru
[10:04] Toru
    Whatever happens,
    they must not reach the Center.
SIGN    Lord of the East
    Haruhito
[10:07] Toru
    I suggest we bar the road to Taruhi at once.
[10:10] Genya
    Our enemies are monkeys.
SIGN    Lord of the North
    Genya
[10:12] Genya
    What would blocking
    our roads do to stop them?
[10:16] Nazukihiko
    These monkeys can take
    human shape, just like yatagarasu.
[10:24] Haruhito
    Then, could they already be among us?
[10:27] Nazukihiko
    Lord Genya.
[10:28] Genya
    Your Highness.
[10:29] Nazukihiko
    Prepare to dispatch troops at once.
[10:32] Nazukihiko
    I wish you to join Taruhi's lord
    in scouring the countryside.
[10:38] Nazukihiko
    The monkeys have the advantage in
    close combat. Have bows and spears ready.
[10:42] Genya
    As you wish.
[10:43] Nazukihiko
    Strengthen the guard on all checkpoints.
[10:45] Nazukihiko
    Investigate anyone who seems
    even remotely suspect.
[10:48] Nazukihiko
    Inspect isolated villages for
    disturbances like what befell Sugou
[10:53] Nazukihiko
    in every domain and without delay!
[10:56] Akira; Toru; Genya Haruhito
    Yes, Your Highness.
[10:57] Nazukihiko
    Assume that these monkeys may come
    to eat your wives and children tomorrow.
[11:03] Nazukihiko
    This is no Northern crisis.
[11:07] Nazukihiko
    It threatens the whole of Yamauchi.
[11:13] Crowd
    Don't push.
[11:15] Crowd
    Hurry up.
SIGN    Taruhi Checkpoint
[11:21] Crowd
    Wait your turn.
[11:25] Official
    Okay, next!
[11:26] Merchant
    Here, sir.
[11:27] Traveler 1
    I hear they're ten shaku tall
    and swallow grown men whole.
[11:32] Traveler 2
    Word is they've got a hundred fangs.
[11:34] Traveler 3
    First, it's that big, mad raven, and now this.
[11:37] Traveler 3
    I'm too scared to stay in this town.
[11:45] Koume
    How many times do I have to tell you?
    I don't know anything.
[11:50] Koume
    Why am I even tied up in a cell, anyway?
[11:54] Koume
    What are you accusing me of?
[11:57] Guard 1
    Enough chatter.
[11:58] Guard 1
    Just answer our questions.
[12:02] Guard 2
    What were you doing, sleeping in that chest?
[12:05] Koume
    I told you...
[12:06] Yukima
    Koume, isn't it?
[12:09] Yukima
    We wouldn't restrain you
    if we didn't have to.
[12:14] Yukima
    We'll release you as soon as we can prove
    you're a yatagarasu and you mean no harm.
[12:21] Koume
    Huh?
[12:22] Koume
    What do you mean "prove I'm a yatagarasu"?
[12:26] Koume
    What else could I be?
[12:28] Koume
    And who would I "mean harm" to?
[12:31] Yukima
    Are you from Sugou?
[12:34] Koume
    I'm from the Center.
[12:36] Koume
    I'd never been to Sugou before.
[12:38] Yukima
    What brought you there from the Center?
[12:40] Koume
    Business.
[12:42] Koume
    My dad and I brought sake.
[12:45] Koume
    They threw a big party
    as soon as we got there.
[12:49] Yukima
    Your father was with you?
[12:53] Koume
    Yes.
[12:55] Yukima
    And your mother?
[12:56] Koume
    Haven't got one.
[12:58] Koume
    It's always been just my dad and me,
    two traveling merchants.
[13:04] Koume
    Hey, has my dad caused
     some kind of trouble again?
[13:08] Koume
    So you know, I have nothing—
[13:10] Guard 2
    Where is your father now?
[13:12] Koume
    I told you, I got drunk and fell asleep!
[13:16] Koume
    Ask one of the villagers where to find him.
[13:19] Yukiya
    The villagers of Sugou
    are no longer with us.
[13:23] Koume
    What?
[13:25] Koume
    They died?
[13:27] Yukiya
    Yes.
[13:28] Yukiya
    Vicious monkeys attacked them.
[13:31] Koume
    Monkeys? Don't you mean bears or something?
[13:35] Yukiya
    Monkeys.
[13:36] Yukiya
    We're still searching for survivors
    while we comb the countryside,
[13:40] Yukiya
    but you're probably the only one
    who left that village alive.
[13:48] Koume
    W-Wait.
[13:50] Koume
    Is... Is my dad all right?
[13:53] Yukima
    Right now, we only know that he's missing.
[13:57] Koume
    No.
[13:59] Koume
    Why?
[14:01] Koume
    How did this happen?
[14:02] Yukiya
    I can't understand it, either.
[14:04] Yukiya
    Why were you spared
    when everyone else died?
[14:10] Koume
    I haven't got a clue.
[14:14] Koume
    How would I know that?
[14:33] Guard 1
    That girl's got some rotten luck.
[14:37] Guard 1
    She and her father picked
    a hell of a time to visit Sugou.
[14:41] Guard 2
    I bet her father hid her in that chest,
     hoping it would save her.
[14:46] Guard 1
    That was probably the last thing he did.
[14:49] Yukima
    Will she be released?
[14:52] Guard 1
    She was able to take raven shape,
     so I don't see why not.
[14:57] Guard 1
    But with no family left, how will
    she support herself back in the Center?
[15:05] Azusa
    Excuse me.
[15:08] Azusa
    In that case...
[15:13] Azusa
    We've decided to take Koume in
     until we find her father.
[15:18] Azusa
    She may not be here long,
    but be kind to her.
[15:22] Koume
    I'll help with anything I can.
[15:25] Koume
    I hope you'll all put up with me.
[15:56] Azusa
    What's gotten into you, Yukiya?
[15:59] Azusa
    How is she supposed to settle in
    with you watching her like a hawk?
[16:04] Yukiya
    I can't help questioning
    your judgment, Mother.
[16:09] Azusa
    Really? Why?
[16:13] Yukiya
    How can you be sure
     she's telling the truth?
[16:16] Yukiya
    The villagers who could
    confirm her story are all dead.
[16:20] Yukiya
    Everyone pities her as a girl
    on her own with a missing father,
[16:25] Yukiya
    but I get the feeling
    she's hiding something.
[16:28] Yukiya
    How could you let a yatagarasu
    we know so little about into the house?
[16:33] Azusa
    Even if she has her secrets,
[16:35] Azusa
    I can't abandon a child to fend for herself.
[16:39] Yukiya
    A child?
[16:40] Azusa
    Yes, a child. Just like you.
[16:46] Azusa
    All right. How about this?
[16:48] Azusa
    You look after that girl.
[16:51] Yukiya
    Excuse me?
[16:53] Azusa
    Who better? You're almost the same age.
[16:58] Azusa
    It will give her someone to talk to.
[17:00] Yukiya
    Mother!
[17:04] Azusa
    It will do more good than
    glaring at her from afar and fretting.
SIGN    Clear Mirror Temple
[17:22] Rokon
    Have you learned anything, Lord Natsuka?
SIGN    Clear Mirror Temple's
    Natsuka
[17:26] Natsuka
    No. This is the strangest incident
     in Yamauchi's history.
[17:30] Natsuka
    I have never heard of any creature
    but us taking human shape.
[17:35] Rokon
    So long story short, we Yatagarasu
     aren't as unique as we thought, huh?
SIGN    Natsuka's bodyguard
    Rokon
[17:42] Rokon
    Not that I'd know much about it.
[18:04] Yukimasa
    As we feared, no one from Sugou survived.
[18:08] Yukimasa
    They ate all the women
    and children on the spot.
[18:12] Yukimasa
    The men, though, they rounded up and
    shredded, tossing the chunks into big pots...
[18:20] Yukimasa
    and pouring salt over them.
[18:23] Yukichi
    Salt? What for?
[18:26] Yukima
    Food preservation.
[18:29] Yukima
    They salted the leftover meat
     to save it for later.
[18:35] Azusa
    And the merchant visiting Sugou?
[18:39] Yukimasa
    We couldn't tell the bodies apart.
[18:45] Yukima
    But how did it happen?
[18:46] Yukima
    No matter how vicious these monkeys were,
    how did not a single adult escape?
[18:52] Yukimasa
    We found the remains of a village party.
[18:56] Yukimasa
    Maybe the food was laced with
    some drug that slowed them down.
[19:03] Yukiya
    They're intelligent.
[19:08] Yukiya
    Normal animals don't drug
    people's food or salt meat to last longer.
[19:18] Yukiya
    They didn't do this just to fill their
    bellies. They have another goal.
[19:24] Yukiya
    They smile at the sight of frightened prey.
     Prey they toy with as they kill.
[19:30] Yukiya
    They're hunting yatagarasu for sport.
[19:56] Shabby Man
    I heard something
    I thought you'd want to know.
[20:02] Shabby Man
    It wasn't easy getting this news.
[20:07] Shabby Man
    I can't give it up for less than—
[20:14] Shabby Man
    It's about S-Sagecap!
[20:36] Yukiya
    Here.
[20:39] Koume
    Thank you.
[20:47] Koume
    Do you need anything else?
[20:50] Yukiya
    I'm sorry about the other day.
[20:54] Yukiya
    I shouldn't have asked that
    when you'd been through so much.
[20:58] Koume
    It's fine.
[20:59] Koume
    I can't blame you for suspecting me,
     under the circumstances.
[21:09] Koume
    Hey, what are you glaring at me for?
[21:11] Yukiya
    Huh?
[21:13] Koume
    There. That look.
[21:15] Koume
    You'd think I was your archenemy
    the way you keep eyeing me all day long.
[21:20] Koume
    Did I do something to offend you?
[21:23] Yukiya
    No, it's nothing like that.
[21:28] Yukiya
    Sorry if I bothered you.
[21:30] Yukiya
    I didn't want to leave you alone
    after all you've been through.
[21:36] Yukiya
    But that was no excuse to be rude.
[21:39] Yukiya
    I, well, wasn't sure how
    to talk to a girl my own age.
[21:49] Koume
    Oh, really?
[21:51] Koume
    You know, her ladyship asked me...
[21:54] Koume
    if I'd like to stay and
    work here permanently.
[21:57] Yukiya
    Huh?
[21:58] Koume
    Only if they don't find my dad, obviously.
[22:04] Koume
    But I didn't give her a clear answer.
[22:08] Koume
    I mean, I thought you
    hated having me around.
[22:18] Koume
    That's a load off my mind.
[22:21] Koume
    I might be living under your roof
     for a long time to come.
[22:25] Koume
    So again, I hope you'll put up with me.
[22:30] Koume
    Okay, Yukiya?
[22:35] Yukiya
    Likewise.
