Original subtitles

During a war, a handful of warriors nearly obliterated the Imperial Army.

They were called the Ninku Unit.

The empire was barely able to defeat them,

so they set out to subdue the unit in fear of their powers.

Few even know about the real Ninku anymore.

Hey, where are we flying to?

Dunno. I don't see any reason to get all worked up.

It's not like we have any clues.

We'll never find it if we fly around blindly.

We have to find that Tenkuu Dragon Seishi mentioned—

So how are we supposed to find it?

We should gather info first.

Let's check out a nearby village.

I'm hungry.

Oh yeah, we haven't eaten yet.

Knock it off!

Hey! You didn't have to cut the engine!

I didn't!

It turned itself off.

It'll be okay!

I can land her just fine!

Huh?

Wait, what? Fuusuke! Fuusuke!

Fuusuke!

The bastard abandoned us! You coward!

What a shocker.

I woulda gotten really hurt if I hadn't landed in the forest.

But where do you think this is?

I was looking for Touji and everyone in the forest and ended up in a city.

There's nothing we can do, so let's hang out here for a while.

I'm hungry.

Not happening. You need money.

Where's your mom and dad?

They're not here.

I'm traveling in search of Mommy.

Right now I'm searching for a dragon too.

At any rate, this is a hotel.

I can't let you stay here or eat if you can't pay.

I can eat enough for twenty in one sitting.

I'll do whatever you want if you give me meat.

But still...

This is super baggy.

We don't have any clothes your size.

Food?

After you're done working.

Go on! Carry that customer's luggage.

You got it!

Am I supposed to carry this?

Yeah. Be careful.

What gives? Are they too much for you?

You're really weak...

Get carrying them already!

You're pretty demanding considering you asked for help.

What?! You brat!

My humblest apologies! He's new at this.

Train him better!

You fool!

That really hurt.

You can't talk back to the customers!

That's a no-no?

You bet it is!

It's a bellboy's job to do what the customer wants.

Really? I didn't know that.

Where's this go?

The lounge in Room 5.

Be careful.

Hey!

What's with her? She's weird...

She's Midori-sama.

There was someone she was supposed to meet here in town after the war.

She's been staying here every weekend for the past three years.

For three years?

Yeah.

Who's there?

Have any work for me?

No, I don't!

Now please leave.

It's a bellboy's job to do what the customer wants.

I don't have anything!

What a persistent brat.

I'll do whatever you want.

If you really want to do something for me, go after that carriage and buy me some flowers.

Got it!

Hey, are you...?

Hey, what happened to working here?!

Mister! Give me some flowers!

Why? Why must you go to war?

I have to fight.

It's to create a truly peaceful country we can believe in.

We can't become the Imperial Army's dogs.

I swear I'll come back.

And then I'll never leave you again.

Let's get married.

What? What did you say?

Mamoru-san!

Yes?

I thought you'd be here.

Shirata-san!

What do you want?!

You know what I want.

Sorry, but I never want to see your face again.

Get out right now!

Don't you understand?

I love you.

Your parents have already approved of the relationship.

You forced them to!

You're horrible.

Can't you get over Mamoru already?

That's none of your business.

He'll never come back.

I bet he's having a blast with some chick he met during the war.

Don't speak such nonsense!

Mamoru-san participated in the war to help create a peaceful country!

He promised he'd come back!

Then why isn't he back yet?

Besides, Mamoru's Republic Army was a group of terrorists rebelling against the Daimyo.

Stop it!

I won't give up on you.

I even asked my dad to support me in caring for you.

No...

Hey, stop it!

Thank you.

What happened to you?

I got these.

I'm dead tired.

You really went and got them?

You got covered in dirt just to keep your promise...

Bellboys are supposed to keep their promises with the customers.

What gives?!

You can't work if you're all dirty.

I'll wash it for you.

I see...

You're a good person.

Put those on.

What's with this underwear? It's puny!

My wee-wee's sticking out.

Don't be picky!

Those are my favorite panties, so be sure to return them.

It's a promise.

What are you gonna show me?

Something very important to me.

Is it yummy?

Sure, I guess.

Found it!

Want me to dig here?

Yes, please.

Heave ho!

Heave ho!

What are you doing, Mamoru-san?

I can't give you anything right now.

But you don't...

So as a sign of our engagement, we'll write our names on this label and bury it.

When we get married, we'll dig it up and drink it together.

What do you think?

Mamoru-san!

That stinks!

Is this it?

Yup!

Cool! All right, then!

I swear I'll come back.

Wait!

I'm sorry, but please rebury it.

I wanna eat the yummy food!

I'm sure he'll come back.

Midori-sama, I just received a call from the train station.

Someone is there to see you.

I swear I'll come back... Come back... Come back... Come back...

Midori-san, I presume.

Right.

I was one of Lieutenant Mamoru's subordinates in the Republic Army.

The Imperial Army condemned me to prison up until last month,

which is why it's taken so long for me to contact you.

It's the lieutenant.

The lieutenant died valiantly as a soldier—

No!

Why?

Why?!

Liar... Liar... Liar...

Liar! Liar! Liar! Liar! Liar!

Shirata-san?

I hear Mamoru died in some ditch.

It was you! You dug up the wine!

You were so devoted to Mamoru, so I decided to help you forget about him.

Not that it matters anymore.

Give it back!

It's worthless now.

That aside, let's talk about our future.

I have nothing to discuss with you!

I said to give it back!

Screw this crap!

There's nothing left to help you remember him.

You fool.

I hate you!

I hate you to death!

I'll never be yours!

Damn it.

You can't do anything about it since you're nothing but talk!

What?

No!

You... It's your fault!

You refuse to be mine, so...

What's going on?

Who are you?

I'm the former Ninku Unit's Fuusuke the Rat Ninja.

So you're another man who loves war.

He went by himself to fight...

and he died out there by himself.

Oh, men...

He promised me!

You have my sincerest apologies.

But Midori-san, please don't be angry with the lieutenant.

The lieutenant tried to keep his promise to you up until the very end.

Damn it!

I'll draw their fire.

Use that time to run into that building.

Lieutenant!

Lieutenant!

Yeah!

Lieutenant!

I can't die here!

I made a promise!

Midori... I must return to Midori's...

You finally made it.

He really cared for you.

Mamoru tried to keep his promise.

He's a real man.

The hardest thing for a man is when he fails to keep his promise.

I...

Lend me your back.

Sure, but is that snot?

Thanks for everything.

Take care.

Where's Fuusuke?

Shall I call for him?

It's okay.

Please tell him "thank you" for me.

Missy!

Fuusuke!

Fly!

This is...

Remember I promised I'd give them back?

Missy, take care!

Thank you, Fuusuke!

No prob!

The wind blowing against my cheeks soothes my wounds.

hoho ni ataru kaze ga kizu wo keshiteyuku

I can hear your voice both near and far.

Our promised land isn't all that far away.

Let's use that as our starting point as we set forth once more.

The sky we look upon is endless as it spreads out for all eternity.

someone makes a noise and wakes me up.

I cry in anger, laugh, and love someone.

Flowers always bloom before withering away.

But, even so, tomorrow will still come.

I want to believe in someone, after I free myself from love and everything.

There will always be a tomorrow

as long as my heart can feel the wind.

itsudemo ashita wa yattekuru

Jeez, Fuusuke. You're as stupid as ever.

Why on earth do you trust that lying brat?

I bet Ninku have nothing but muscle up in their heads.

Huh? Aichou-san, what's with that scary look?

Next episode: Overcoming Pain.

Ouch! This must be the pain of my love.
