**[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?
***SIGN*** YATAGARASU

**[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.
