{
It's been two weeks since
I haven't found any clues about
Everyone here has black hair.
Who is that?
Hello.
I am a traveler
I would very much like to meet
Do you know who that might be?
Oh
You're a traveler? My grandma
Really? If it isn't any trouble
Oh! Yes.
Sayo
Wait
{
Grandma!
You have a visitor!
A visitor who is dressed
I'm pleased to meet you. I am called Rio.
Madame
Is that so. You're very polite
Are you from some other country?
Yes. I've traveled through many lands.
I see. I'm Yuba. What's your business here?
Actually
I came to this village because I've heard that
you knew most people in
This seems like it's going to be
This way.
Thank you for having me.
I heard that my mom and dad lived here
in the Yagumo region over
I see. And what were your parents' names?
Their names were Zen and Ayame.
Did you say Zen and Ayame?
Have you heard of them?
Ruri
What? Why?
You shouldn't poke your nose into
Fine. Just when it was getting interesting.
Let's go
Y-Yes.
If you would give me a little more detail...
Yes. I heard that they were
My father died before I was
I lived a peaceful
My mother died
Coming to the Yagumo region was
When you're bigger
Really? You promised
Yes
As I traveled
I'd like to make graves for them.
The least I can do for them is hold
There's no mistake.
Both of them are people I knew.
And you do have the look of them.
Forgive my rudeness
I'm Zen's mother.
What?
Your grandmother.
My father's...
Thank you for coming here.
But the truth is
We already have graves for both of them.
What?
These are Mother and Father's graves.
That's right.
Would it be all right if I paid my respects?
Yes.
I finally made it here
Both of them had to leave this country
There was no possibility that
so those of us who knew of
made graves for the two of them here.
What was the reason?
I'm sorry
But the time may come that
What do you think? Will you live here
Would that be possible?
Yes. You're my grandson
Grandchildren should
Grandchild...
All of my relatives have died. Right now
Ruri is Zen's older brother's
She's fifteen now.
She's one year older than I am
Are you that young? You seem quite mature.
I'm nothing like that.
Shall we head back?
Madame Yuba?
May I stay here a little longer?
Yes. But stop addressing me so formally.
Mistress... Yuba.
Better. Don't stay out too late.
I'll keep your lineage hidden
Excuse the intrusion!
Honestly
What took you so long? I'm starving!
Welcome back
Hurry up! Let's eat!
Yes.
Good morning.
Morning. You're up early
I'll start helping with things
I thought I'd get breakfast
I'm very happy to see
Morning
Miss Ruri—
Good morning.
Morning. You...
Did you forget that Rio's here?
Oh
Impressive. You're quite skilled.
In that case
It looks like we don't
Yeah. And Sayo and Shin
Rio! Use the water over there.
We refill it every day with spirit arts.
So both of them can use spirit arts.
Hot water would be better
Shall I make some?
What?
That's amazing! Rio
Even Grandma can't do that!
There's a little trick to it.
Yes!
Good morning.
Morning!
Man
Good morning.
Who're you?
Rio and Shin haven't met yet
This is Sayo's older brother
He's the son of a long-time
I'm called Rio. Pleased to meet you.
Yeah. Nice to meet you.
This is so good!
There's meat in this!
This miso soup is delicious
Rio made everything for us.
What?
Amazing!
I'm just glad you like it.
I want more!
Honestly
Man
Shin
Huh? Why?
I was thinking of having Rio be a hunter.
Huh? Him? A hunter?
Yes. Rio says he can hunt
And Dola said he wanted help
But it's grueling work
He's built pretty delicately.
When you want to make hot water
He'll be fine. He's strong enough to have
you concentrate your will in
Really? I see.
And he can use spirit arts.
Even I can use something
He may be overwhelmingly stronger
Bah.
Hey
I'm gonna take you hunting!
Make sure you don't get in the way!
Big Brother!
Sir Rio
Not at all.
Would it be all right for
Huh? Sure.
Hey
What?
I-I mean
Like someone too high up to be reached...
I see.
It's a lenou bird.
Good job shooting it down
Your skills are impressive.
All right
Huh?
I get it already!
Blast it!
All right
Today we'll be able to give everyone
I didn't manage to take
It was you and Rio that got
What are you sulking for?
It was the three of us working
Bah.
Sorry.
I'll talk to him later.
Can you come help starting tomorrow?
Yes
I got pretty dirty out there.
Discharge.
What is this thing?
I thought it must be you
I'm sorry. That must have been a shock.
I'll clean it up now.
No
Did you make this with spirit arts
Yes. I wanted to take a bath.
Really?
Huh?
Miss Ruri?
You smell nice
Sayo
What? No
Now
What is that smell?
It's soap.
Soap? You mean the stuff you wash yourself
Sir Rio
Amazing...
What is this thing?
Big Brother! Sir Rio made it
A bath?
There goes the outsider
You really are rude.
Miss Ruri is right. Big Brother
Sayo
I'm not being silly!
Shin! Rio isn't a weakling!
In spite of his looks
Right?
Huh?
Y-You... have you no shame?!
Bleh.
Hmph!
Sayo
Bah!
The crops turned out well again this year.
I heard that the tax examiner
Yes.
Oh
Yes?
After the annual tribute and our own rations
the rice that remains is to
Could I ask you to guard the transport team?
If you think I'm good enough.
That's a great help.
It's a fight!
It's Shin and those guys
Gon! Who do you think you are
And you're just heading into the
You've gotta be kidding me!
Huh?
I'm here as a guest to visit the head
Ruri... You've grown into quite
And behind you is...
Don't look at my little sister
Oh
Still
You...
Shin
If you punch this guy over these
He may be rotten
Gon
Let me stay at your place
What?
I'm on my way to sell trade
but unfortunately
Then we'll lend you one of our guest huts.
Hey
D-Don't say weird things
The head of this village
So I'm saying I'll volunteer
You can't be serious!
That's right!
Huh? None of you are
What a bunch of sissies.
What did you say?
Bring it on.
You piece of crap!
Shin!
In the end
Big Brother!
Stop it!
That's enough!
Old Lady Yuba. It's been a while.
First
Big Brother!
Oh
I see.
Gon
But your behavior was imprudent
Tonight
But you are not allowed to
Sure thing.
A newcomer?
He's effeminate. I don't like him.
Big Bro?
Oh
What happened?
I-It's nothing. Let's go.
Man
Everyone just go back home
I've forbidden them from leaving the hut
Hey
Will you let Sayo stay with you for a while?
The two of us live alone
I think she'd feel safer
Yes. That's no problem.
Sayo
Yes
We should go to sleep.
Yes.
Miss Ruri
Sir Rio...
Please put this in a corner of your room.
It's a protective amulet.
A protective amulet?
It's beautiful!
Sir Rio
That's our big bro for you!
Of course. I made sure to
We can take all day tomorrow
The fun comes after that.
Madame Yuba!
It's been a long time.
Welcome! Thank you for coming all this way!
Pleased to meet you. I'm called Rio.
I'm called Saga Hayate.
I'm traveling to all the
I hope you'll take good
Watching like that can't possibly be any fun.
Your movement's so pretty
It's just simple training.
No
You've done it every day since
Why did you start martial arts?
Well...
Even if I die
It's a little embarrassing to say...
What? I want to know even
What? Yes. I'd like to know.
Well
Do you mind if I dress myself?
Huh? Oh
When I was little
I wanted to become strong enough
Wow
What is she doing now?
We're not in contact anymore.
She might be with someone she loves.
And I don't know if she even
I don't know where she's living
But if she's alive
Right
Y-Yes.
That's true.
Though
That bath was truly wonderful!
Thank you very much.
I'm glad to hear it.
Miss Ruri
That's true.
Let's go then
Yes.
Quiet. I'm not responsible for
Miss Ruri!
If you make a fuss
And you
Y-You...
What are you doing?
Crap.
St...op...
Stop?
Sir Rio...
Sir Rio
This is bad!
Sir Rio! Cease! If you hit
Is that Gon?
It seems he was trying to assault
I'll handle this.
Lady Yuba
Ruri
Am I correct in that you lot are
Y...es...
You have committed a grave crime.
I seek punishment from the kingdom.
Yes
This is the second time I've
As Rio
But...
without me noticing
I've been pulled closer to Amakawa Haruto.
I turned my eyes away from my revenge.
Even though
I'm the same sort of person as that man.
Tomorrow morning
They've decided that Gon and the
Everyone.
I caused you such trouble yesterday.
You have nothing to apologize for.
Yeah. It's only because you arrived
Sir Rio
If you hadn't hit him
Everyone... thank you so much.
But
You're so serious.
Just like a certain someone.
Who?
Well
Sir Rio
Yeah. Let's hurry and eat! 415 00:23:34,970 -->
