00:00Lord Hayate, with many thanks to you,
00:15Gon and the others will be locked up in the capital's prison camp.
00:19The transport team and I can now move on safely.
00:22My position in the kingdom is to serve the people.
00:25I believe I was merely performing that duty.
00:27That's why I can't help but feel you are a truly honest man.
00:32So if you don't mind, I have a favor to ask.
00:34Of course, if it's within my capabilities.
00:37I have here a letter for your father.
00:40If you could give this to Lord Goki, I'd be much obliged.
00:43To my father?
00:44This letter is of great importance, so I need you to make sure you deliver it to him personally.
00:49I understand. I'm heading to the next village to collect taxes.
00:53But after that, I'll return to the capital and deliver this.
00:58Will that be acceptable?
00:59Of course, with many thanks.
01:04Stay safe out there! Bye!
01:06So we set off together, and then parted with Lord Hayate along the way.
01:18We didn't make it to the royal capital of Karasuki Kingdom until several days later.
01:23This is where we'll be staying.
01:32We can't help you if you get lost.
01:34So if you do leave, make sure you bring someone with you who's been to the capital before.
01:38I need to head into town myself, so the day is yours.
01:42Would the two of you mind coming along with me?
01:45Sure.
01:46I can come?
01:46I can come?
01:46I can come.
01:53Keep moving.
02:01Ugh, what a dirtbag.
02:03I would have killed him if I'd gotten the chance.
02:05I can't believe this is how it ends.
02:07Come on, buddy.
02:18It's time to turn that frown upside down.
02:20We don't have enough time to be depressed.
02:22Hey!
02:23Would you knock it off, Huntmaster?
02:24Not in front of him.
02:26Three piping hot bowls of Kamuton.
02:28Enjoy, boys!
02:30So this is what you call Kamuton?
02:32Now hold on just a second, Rio.
02:34Are you telling me you haven't had a bowl of Kamuton?
02:36Uh, no, I haven't.
02:38Once you have it, you won't stop craving it.
02:40The first time you tried it was a pretty emotional experience, wasn't it, Shin?
02:44Yeah.
02:45Oh, with Kamuton, the classy way to eat is by slurping it up real loud!
02:50It'll get soggy if you don't eat it quick.
02:52Better get to it.
03:00Oh, this is great!
03:02Told ya!
03:03You did.
03:06Thanks for stopping in!
03:10Hold up!
03:11Thanks for what you did for Sayo.
03:13Oh.
03:19Oh, right.
03:21I should make sure she tries some of this.
03:24I don't want to get in another fight.
03:25Huh?
03:32Did we pick up everything we were supposed to?
03:35Yes.
03:36And thank you so much for your help, Rio.
03:38I can't believe they even asked me to go shopping in the first place.
03:41It's not like I've been here before.
03:44So if you're hungry, what do you think about getting some Kamuton with me?
03:47Huh?
03:48Earlier, Shin was telling me we should try and get you some Kamuton if we could manage it.
03:52My brother told you what?
03:54He said the two of you got in a fight the last time he asked you to make it because you'd never had it before.
03:59So he wanted to make sure you had a chance to try it.
04:02Right.
04:03He only thinks with his stomach.
04:05I'm sure that's part of it.
04:06But I think he really wanted you to try a bowl of it yourself.
04:10You think?
04:10He's a pretty good brother, isn't he?
04:14He is.
04:17Pardon me, sir.
04:18How about we get you something for that cute little girl on your arm?
04:21Oh, I'm sorry, but the two of us aren't together.
04:24My mistake, but you make a gorgeous couple.
04:26Well then, how about picking up a souvenir?
04:29Bywares will help you remember the capital forever.
04:32I don't see why not.
04:34Might be kind of nice.
04:35Miss Ayo, is there anything here that you'd like to get?
04:38What? Oh no, I'm perfectly fine.
04:41You've done a great deal for me, Miss Ayo, so I'd like to return the favor.
04:45Mm-hmm.
04:46As I'm sure you'll learn, there are times in a woman's life where it's just more courteous to accept a gift.
04:51Really?
04:52Quite a talented saleswoman, aren't you?
04:54You know how it goes.
05:00Ah, yes. Excellent eye, miss.
05:05That's one of our finest items.
05:07Would you like to try it on?
05:09What?
05:11What do you think, young man?
05:15It looks perfect.
05:19It does?
05:20I love this color on you.
05:22But it is a bit on the pricey side.
05:23Right now I'm charging two silver.
05:25Two silver tablets?
05:27That won't be a problem.
05:29Oh, Ryo, please, it's all right.
05:31I really don't need to...
05:33I might be willing to make you a deal if you need me to come down on cost.
05:36I never haggle over the price of a lady's gift.
05:40Well, good for you, kid.
05:42Although I probably would have set the price a little higher if I had known that.
05:44Okay, let's go.
05:48Oh, wait.
05:49Thank you for buying me such a lovely gift.
05:51If I may.
05:52I wanted to wish you luck with him.
05:54A man like that doesn't come around all that often in a girl's life.
05:57Let go of me now!
06:02Someone stop that man!
06:06Get out of my way!
06:14Messiah, are you all right?
06:17Yeah, I'm fine.
06:18He didn't come near me.
06:21Lady Komomo!
06:22She's been knocked unconscious, but I don't think she's in any real danger.
06:28I feel as though I must apologize for my gross incompetence, sir.
06:32Don't worry about it.
06:34Apologize to her later.
06:36Make a race, out of the way!
06:38Move!
06:38Where's the disturbance?
06:40Make a path!
06:41Come on, we should go.
06:42Huh?
06:43Right now?
06:44Is that okay?
06:45It should be.
06:46I'd like to avoid any trouble.
06:48Please, sir, wait a moment!
06:51Are you all right?
06:52You're not hurt?
06:56Komomo was almost kidnapped?
06:59Yes, and we're lucky that it was just an attempt.
07:01It's unfortunate, but the man who helped Komomo took off right after.
07:05At least that's what the guards on the scene said.
07:08So, what did you want to see me about?
07:11Oh, right.
07:13You have a letter.
07:14Lady Yuba gave it to me before I left.
07:16She said it was of the utmost importance and should be delivered personally.
07:20Oh, Lady Yuba, huh?
07:28Hayate.
07:29Father?
07:30Did you happen to meet with someone called Rio?
07:33We're back with the supplies.
07:43Hey, good work, you two.
07:46Oh, and Shin.
07:47The Komodan was so great.
07:48Oh, so does that mean you'll make some for me when we end up going back to the village?
07:54I'll certainly do my best.
07:56Where did you get such a pretty hairpin from?
07:59Huh?
07:59Oh, well, it was, uh...
08:02I think I'm going to go put these away.
08:09Lord Rio.
08:10Huh?
08:11Lord Hayate.
08:12Hey.
08:12I go by the name of Goki Saga.
08:23And I'm known as Kayako.
08:27The two of us have been married for many years, and we both knew your mother.
08:31She was Lady Ayame Karasuki, and we served as her attendants.
08:37Ayame...
08:37Karasuki?
08:40Your surprise here is perfectly understandable.
08:43Lord Rio.
08:44Your mother was of royal blood.
08:46From the youngest generation of Karasuki Kingdom's monarchy.
08:50My mother, she was a royal.
08:57Where to start?
08:58I suppose I could begin by telling you about my connection to your father, Zen, if you'd like.
09:04Go on.
09:05This all happened over 20 years ago.
09:10At the time, the Karasuki Kingdom was at war with the neighboring kingdom of Rokuren.
09:15Zen had volunteered to be a soldier.
09:18He possessed a natural gift for both the spiritual and martial arts.
09:22His majesty was quick to bestow upon him the rank of warrior noble.
09:26Around that time, I was lucky enough to face him.
09:30His skills were truly unparalleled.
09:38Because of that, I put in a strong recommendation that he guard members of the royal family.
09:48I'm sure I don't need to say it, but he was assigned to your mother.
09:51He guarded her faithfully.
09:53It didn't take long for Lady Ayame to take a liking to Zen.
10:02Around that time, a truce was finally negotiated with the kingdom of Rokuren.
10:08A meeting was called.
10:09At the very ceremony celebrating the truce, the prince acting as ambassador took a liking to our lady and tried to have his attendant subduct her.
10:19Thankfully, Zen was there to stop them in their tracks, but the prince resented the fact that his attendant had been killed.
10:25If we wanted to finalize the truce, the prince demanded Zen's hasty execution and a political marriage to Lady Ayame.
10:35It haunts me even now.
10:37Just the thought of it sends my blood into a boil.
10:40So that's the real reason.
10:42That's why they run away together.
10:45His majesty arranged their union in secret, and the two of them quickly left the country.
10:50So much time has passed with no news or knowledge of them.
10:56But today, after receiving correspondence from Lady Yuba and taking in your honored countenance myself,
11:02I am certain there isn't a doubt in my mind that you are indeed their son.
11:06Yes.
11:09Lord Ryo, will you be so kind as to join us at the castle tomorrow?
11:14It would be my dearest wish to see you reunited with your grandparents, the king and queen.
11:18I know they are eager to meet you.
11:21The two of them really want to meet me?
11:23They do.
11:24I know nothing would bring them more pleasure.
11:29I would be honored to.
11:38I can't believe it's really you.
11:43What a great honor to meet you both.
11:45My king Homura and queen Shizuku.
11:47My name is Ryo.
11:48This is nothing more than a meeting with our grandchild.
11:52I assure you there's no need to be so formal here.
11:55Please, if you would.
11:57Well, if it wouldn't offend you, then I'll do my best.
12:01First, I'd like to insist that you take a seat.
12:04Of course.
12:07Ryo, you look so much like your mother Ayame.
12:10If you ask me, I'd say you're the one that looks a lot like her, queen Shizuku.
12:17Oh, come now.
12:18You don't mean that.
12:21Ryo, go ahead and tell us everything.
12:24What about Ayame and Sen?
12:26Hmm.
12:26Just to make everything clear, the two of them have long been dead.
12:33Then don't shy away from anything.
12:36We want to know all the details of how they lived and died.
12:39My father.
12:42He died before I was old enough to know anything about him.
12:46My mother was so kind, though, and she never seemed to stop smiling.
12:49If she felt any grief from his death, I don't remember her ever letting me see.
12:55We weren't well off by any means, yet we managed to live happily day by day.
13:00But all of that changed when I was five and my mother died.
13:04Only five years old.
13:06How exactly did Ayame leave this world?
13:10I'll tell you the truth, but it is ugly and will be difficult for you to hear.
13:15It doesn't matter.
13:16We still want to know.
13:17My mother was brutally murdered right in front of me.
13:26The person who killed her was a man known as Lucius.
13:30Apparently, he had worked with my father as an adventurer.
13:33And after my father passed, he had gone out of his way to help us quite a lot.
13:37But then one day...
13:39I'll be right back.
13:41So you stay inside and don't let anyone in, okay?
13:46Yeah, okay.
13:47Bye-bye.
13:49Huh?
13:50Rio, it's me.
13:51It's Lucius.
13:53Can you open the door for me?
13:54Looks like I get to teach you something new today, kid.
14:07Always beware of a wolf in sheep's clothing.
14:11What?
14:11How did you get in here, Lucius?
14:12What are you doing to him?
14:15Rio, no!
14:16I don't know what you're trying to fool, but you have no right!
14:20Let me go right now!
14:25Rio!
14:27Mama, what's wrong?
14:29That is the last memory I have of my mother.
14:39How awful.
14:43What of your journey since then?
14:45What have you done to survive this long?
14:47After I regained consciousness, I found that I'd been dumped in the slums.
14:55So I ended up living there for a while as an orphan.
14:58For two years.
15:00After that, everything changed.
15:01I hope it was a change for the better.
15:05I happened to rescue someone of importance from a certain... incident.
15:10As a show of gratitude, I was allowed scholarship to the kingdom's top academy.
15:15Ah, yes.
15:16We have a school for court nobles and well-bred warriors as well.
15:19Everyone there was of a similar rank.
15:21That must have been difficult for you.
15:23There were some who didn't treat me as well as they should have,
15:26but I found enough people to pull me through.
15:28They made it easy for me to look back on my time there with great fondness.
15:34I remained enrolled there until I was twelve years old.
15:37Shortly after, I dropped out to fulfill the promise I made with my mother.
15:42To come here.
15:43Ayame made a promise to come back to us.
15:46It hurts my heart to hear this.
15:48It would not surprise me if the two of you resented us.
15:51I don't think she did.
15:53I always thought that she was grateful.
15:55She really loved my father.
15:57So I guess it wouldn't make much sense for us to hate what you did.
16:02I see.
16:04I'm very touched.
16:05But what of the man who killed your mother?
16:09If there was a single person on this planet I could never forgive, it would be him.
16:14So is it revenge that you are hoping to find on your journey?
16:17Once the thought of killing him was the only thing that kept me alive.
16:21But it wouldn't bring her back.
16:24And my mother wouldn't want it either.
16:26Still, I couldn't make myself forget.
16:28But you know, if there was ever a time that I met him again, I'd kill him.
16:34I understand.
16:37But I must warn you.
16:39Should you continue down this path of revenge, hell is all that will await you.
16:43I know.
16:44You can still turn back.
16:46Are you choosing to proceed?
16:48I am determined to stay true to my goal.
16:51Should I come down to it, I won't hesitate to dirty my hands.
16:54Then there's nothing that can stop you.
16:58But before you take your leave, I would like you to have a match with Goki.
17:02I beg your pardon?
17:04Goki is the finest of our warriors and has found no equal in any of the surrounding kingdoms.
17:09We must assume that this man named Lucius is a skilled warrior.
17:13And it's not outside his hideous nature for him to have killed your father as well.
17:18Goki, you agree?
17:21It brings me no pleasure to say it.
17:24But it is definitely possible.
17:26You'll require a great deal of strength if you wish to face off with Lucius one day.
17:31I understand.
17:33I'm willing to listen to anything he wants to teach me.
17:38Oh, look who finally made it home!
17:40It's so good to see you!
17:42It looks like we meet again.
17:44Pardon?
17:45Something the matter?
17:46Well, it's just...
17:48The person you're with is the one who saved Komomo today.
17:51Is that right?
17:52You've been busy.
17:54Guess so.
17:56We will start the evaluation with combat forms.
18:00Both parties stand at the ready.
18:01Begin the match!
18:07Your potential is pretty frightening, boy.
18:21You still haven't even reached your peak in terms of physicality.
18:24And you lack an experience.
18:26Training is the one thing I've always kept up with.
18:29You've done well.
18:34He combines sword work with weaponless styles.
18:37Quite impressive.
18:40It looks like he's got father on the defense.
18:43Is this sword gathering magical energy?
18:55Wait a minute, father.
18:57You can't use that!
18:58Heading skill, first blade, air slash!
19:11Lower your sword.
19:13The fight is over.
19:13Ryo has best at go-ki in combat.
19:16Oh.
19:18I guess there's no room to argue with that.
19:23Thank you very much for the match.
19:25Impossible.
19:26Father lost.
19:28Lord Ryo's pretty incredible.
19:29I thought it necessary for you to train under go-ki, but I see now that I was a fool to worry about your skills.
19:36Indeed.
19:38Not at all.
19:39I found it very helpful.
19:40I'm glad I got to do this before I went back.
19:44For all of it.
19:45I know we don't have much time left.
19:47Was there anything else you wanted to ask us before you go?
19:52There's a cousin I've been living with in the village, and I was hoping...
19:56Maybe it would be alright if I could tell her about my lineage?
19:58Yes.
20:00We are content to trust your judgment on this matter.
20:04I appreciate that.
20:10Welcome back.
20:12So, uh, have you seen Ryo?
20:15He left the group.
20:16I saw him head that way.
20:17Huh?
20:22Father.
20:23Mother.
20:24I'm done running away.
20:26I want to live.
20:27I won't settle for survival.
20:29And facing this is the only way I can protect the things I love.
20:32I want to live.
20:34I want to live.
20:34I want to live.
20:34I want to live.
20:35I want to live.
20:35I want to live.
20:36I want to live.
20:36I want to live.
20:37I want to live.
20:37I want to live.
20:37I want to live.
20:38I want to live.
20:38I want to live.
20:38I want to live.
20:39I want to live.
20:39I want to live.
20:39I want to live.
20:40I want to live.
20:40I want to live.
20:41I want to live.
20:41I want to live.
20:42I want to live.
20:42I want to live.
20:43I want to live.
20:43I want to live.
20:44I want to live.
20:44I want to live.
20:45I want to live.
20:46I want to live.
20:46I want to live.
20:47I want to live.
