[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.
