TheChaosLegion
I want to shine on you, and always like that dazzling sun.
I will defend you from all the darkness.
This is the truth from my heart.
If only our hearts could connect, I could get you to believe me.
Even if you can't see it now, don't lose it.
Your kindness won't be in vain.
You'll be carried aloft by the wind to somewhere that isn't here.
You'll cross the sea and cross time, and I know you'll blossom one day.
Whatever the day, I'll be there for you.
I hope I can watch over you like the sun for all time.
This is the truth from my heart.

Moribito Guardian of the Spirit
Stop! This will accomplish nothing!
（ジグロ） よせ！ こんなことは無益だ！
（王の槍(やり)１）うわっ！
（ジグロ）悪いことは言わん！
Listen to me! Put away your spears and return to Kanbal!
今すぐ槍を収めてカンバルへ帰れ！
How long do you intend to continue such a futile endeavor?
こんな不毛なことを いつまで続ける気だ！
Episode 22 Season of Awakening
（王の槍２）ぐああっ！
（王の槍３）うわっ
来るな！
Stay back!
（王の槍４）うわっ！
（王の槍４）あっ！
（バルサ）ああなると もはや王の槍も くそもない
At that point, it had nothing to do with the King's Spears or anything else.
It was just a battle to the death.
あれは ただの殺し合いだった
こうしてジグロは 討っ手として 送り込まれた王の槍を―
And that was how Jiguro killed all of the King's Spears...
全員 殺してしまったんだ
...who had been sent to hunt us down.
私と自分を守るためにね
He did it to protect both me and himself.
でもこのとき ジグロの魂も―
But in the process, his own soul was lost along with those eight people's.
８人の魂と共に 損なわれてしまった
（チャグム）８人の魂と共に？
Along with the eight people's?
（バルサ）ああ あんたを預かった夜 話した―
Right. The souls I talked about the night I took you under my protection...
８人の魂ってのは ジグロが殺した王の槍のことさ
...were those of the King's Spears that Jiguro killed.
Because of Logsam, Jiguro and I were forced to walk a cruel path in life.
私とジグロは ログサムのせいで―
とてつもなく過酷な人生を 歩まされることになった
Even so, those dead men didn't deserve to be killed over nothing either.
だけどね 死んでいった男たちにだって―
無意味に殺されなければ ならない理由なんて なかったんだ
だから 私の命は彼らの犠牲の上に 成り立っているんだよ
So you see, my life has been built on their sacrifice.
（タンダ）飯にしますか
Care to eat dinner?
（トロガイ）うむ…
That's why you swore to...
それでバルサは―
...save the same number of people that Jiguro killed, isn't it?
ジグロが斬った人と同じ数の 魂を救う誓いを立てたんだね
（バルサ）ああ ジグロには―
Yes. Jiguro told me to forget about it, though.
そんなことは やめろって 言われたけどね
But if it weren't for that vow, I would be dead.
でも その誓いがなければ 俺は死んでいた
I suppose you would.
そうだね
Anyway, that was my reason for doing it.
私には そんな事情があったけど―
ジグロは 父と親友ということ以外 私を助ける理由は何もなかった
But aside from the fact that my father was his friend...
...Jiguro had no reason to save me.
どうして ジグロは―
Why was Jiguro willing to kill eight of his friends to save you?
８人の友人を斬ってまで バルサを助けてくれたの？
どうしてだろうね
I don't know. That question has always bothered me.
私も そのことが ずっと疑問だった
Why did he agree to my father's request?
どうして 父の申し出を 引き受けたんだろう
Why didn't he abandon me somewhere along the way?
どうして 途中で私を 見捨てなかったんだろうってね
Why did he agree to something that would gain him nothing...
何も得ることのない―
それまで積み上げた人生を ただ失うだけの申し出を
...and would cost him everything that he had worked for?
I want to find out why he did.
俺 その訳が知りたい
If I could understand what Jiguro was thinking...
ジグロの その気持ちが分かったら―
自分の今の立場を もう少し 受け入れられるかもしれないから
...maybe I could accept my own situation a little better.
Care to continue the discussion over dinner downstairs?
話の続きは 下で飯を食いながらしないか？
I feel like reminiscing about Jiguro too.
俺もジグロのことを 思い出したくなった
王の槍との戦いが終わったあと バルサはどうしたの？
After the fight with the King's Spears was over, what did you do, Balsa?
My training with Jiguro was complete by that point...
あのころは すでに ジグロに鍛えられていたから―
...so my skills were more than a match for any of the local warriors.
そこいらの武人と戦っても 決して 引けは取らないだけの腕はあった
Plus, I was 16 by then...
それに 私ももう 16になっていたから―
ジグロの苦しみが 痛いほど分かってね
...so I understood Jiguro's suffering all too well.
だから 言ったんだ
That's why I said to him...
もう 別れて暮らそうって
"Let's go our separate ways."
ジグロ 別れよう
Jiguro, let's split up.
I can take care of myself now.
もう 自分の身は 自分で守れる
だから…
So please...
You've already saved me so many times.
ジグロには もう十分に助けてもらった
So please, forget about me.
だから 私のことは忘れて―
Focus on your own happiness from now on.
これからは 自分の 幸せのことだけ考えて生きて
お前は俺に どえらい借金でも してる気持ちなんだろうが―
You may feel as if you owe me an enormous debt...
...but don't think of the past that way.
過去を そんなふうに考えるな
むなしいだけだ
It'll only leave you with an empty feeling.
Besides, Balsa...
それにな バルサ
俺は案外 お前や この暮らしが 気に入ってるんだ
I've grown fond of both you and our life here.
When Jiguro said that, I was at a loss for words.
（バルサ）ジグロにそう言われ―
それっきり 何も言えなくなっちまった
でも そうは言っても―
But in spite of what he said...
友人との戦いを 可能なかぎり 避けようとしていたわけだし―
...he had tried his utmost to avoid fighting his friends.
And even though he said he was fond of me...
私のことを 気に入っていると言ったって―
...that certainly wasn't the case at first.
それも初めから そうだったわけじゃない
After all, women may have...
母性ってやつは 女なら ともかく―
...maternal instincts, but they aren't something men are born with.
男が初めから 持ち合わせて いるものじゃないからね
で 結局 最初に私を連れて―
In the end, I never learned what Jiguro was thinking...
逃げようと思ったときの ジグロの気持ちは―
...when he first escaped with me.
最後まで 分からずじまいさ
Some five years after that, Jiguro died.
それから ５年ほどして ジグロが死んでしまったからね
He wasn't defeated by pursuers. He succumbed to an illness.
追っ手に倒されたわけじゃない
病にかかったんだ
そのころには ログサム王も死に―
By that time, King Logsam was dead...
もう 追っ手に追われる暮らしを する必要もなくなっていたのにね
...so there was no reason for us to keep living like fugitives.
Fifteen years had passed since the two of us first left Kanbal.
２人でカンバルを出てから 15年がたっていた
I give you my word. I'll save eight souls.
約束する 必ず８人の魂を救う
I'll lay your friends' souls to rest. I promise.
全員を弔うために 必ず
So please...rest easy.
だから 安心して眠って
（ジグロ）バルサ…
Balsa...
人助けは 殺すより難しいぞ
It's much harder to save lives than it is to take them...
お前 英雄にでもなるつもりか
Are you trying to become a hero or something?
人は往々にして 英雄という名の いけにえを欲しがるものだ
People often yearn for a hero who will sacrifice his life for them.
Saving lives isn't something that you do on a whim.
人助けなんてのは 思い立ってするものじゃない
Stop trying so hard.
そんなに気張るな…
But you know, Chagum, this is how I see it now.
（バルサ）でもね チャグム 今は思うんだ
ジグロって人は たとえ 一文の得にならないことでも―
Maybe Jiguro was someone who thought if you're in a position to act...
それができる立場にいる人間が―
...it would be a sin not to, even if you had nothing to gain from doing so.
それをやらないことが罪だと 考えていたんじゃないかってね
ジグロにとっては 国の英雄であり続けることも―
To Jiguro, being a national hero and protecting some nameless person...
名もない１人の人間を 守ることも同じだったんだよ
...they were the same thing.
He even hoped to spare the lives of his pursuers if he could.
しかも できれば 討っ手の命すら―
救いたいと願っていた
私は今になって ようやく それが分かったんだよ
I finally understand that now.
あんたの用心棒をやったことでね
After becoming your bodyguard.
Moribito Guardian of the Spirit
（タンダ） どうしても行くんですか？
We can't talk you out of going?
思い立ったが吉日じゃ
There's no time like the present.
Besides, winter will be at its harshest over the next two months.
それに 冬はこれからの ふた月が一番きつい
If I don't leave now, the snow will have me good and stuck here.
今を逃したら 雪で完全に 足止めされてしまうからな
I have better things to do than spend the whole winter cooped up in here!
こんなところで ひと冬過ごすのは まっぴらだ！
だからって 何もこんな大切な時期に―
Surely you don't need to go to the health springs...
湯治場になんて行かなくても
...at an important time like this!
Relax, I'll be back before the spring thaw.
（トロガイ）安心せい 雪どけまでには戻ってくるわい
あ… トロガイ師 どこかへ行くの？
Mistress Torogai, are you going somewhere?
温泉じゃ 温泉
To the hot springs, boy! The hot springs!
Oh.
そう…
Chagum, why are you carrying that?
チャグム あんた 何で そんなもの持ってんだい？
Teach me how to fight too.
俺にも武術を教えてよ
I want to learn as much as I can to protect the egg and myself.
卵と自分の身を守るために―
少しでも できることを やっておきたいんだ
If I'm stronger, I might be able to get away even if Rarunga attacks...
体を鍛えておけば ラルンガが襲ってきても―
逃げられるかもしれないし
...and I might be able to make sure the egg hatches safely even if I die.
たとえ 俺が死んだとしても―
卵だけは無事に かえすことができるかもしれない
After all, I'm the guardian of the spirit.
俺は 精霊の守り人だから
そうだね
You're right.
But I'm not going to let you die.
でも お前を死なせやしない
I'll protect you no matter what.
私が必ず守る
あれ？ 師匠？
Huh? Teacher...
何じゃ
Yes, what?
いえ 珍しいなあと思って
I thought it was unusual, that's all.
So, you can make that expression too?
師匠でも そんな顔するんですね
No one cares what you think!
よ… 余計なこと言わんでいい！
I'm going!
わしは もう行くぞ
バルサ 小僧を 鍛えるのもええが ほどほどにな
Balsa, feel free to train the boy if you want, but don't go overboard.
お前さんと違って―
Unlike you, he doesn't seem to have any talent for the martial arts.
この小僧には 武術の才能は なさそうだからのう
Hey, that's mean!
えー ひどいっ
フン 事実を述べたまでじゃ
Hmph, I'm just stating the facts.
Well, I'm off.
じゃあな
Caw, caw, hey, hey!
Will tomorrow bring fair weather, a blizzard, or rain?
Look, the Misty Blues are slightly cloudy.
Don't let the paddies dry out. Call for water!
Nurture the seedlings and spread the fertilizer!
Nahji, fly, fly! Nahji, fly, fly!
If you fly to the sea, the rice plants will grow swiftly.
どうしたんだい そんなところに突っ立って
What's up, why are you standing there in the doorway?
Huh? Oh.
I was just thinking that this really takes me back.
懐かしいなと思ってさ
Jiguro sometimes watched over you as you slept...
（タンダ） 昔 稽古を終えた お前の寝顔を―
...after the day's training was over, just like you are now.
ジグロが そうやって 見ていたことがあったよ
ふうん…
Balsa, this winter has been a good one, hasn't it?
バルサ この冬は いい冬だったな
With the three of us together like this...
チャグムと３人 この冬だけは―
ずっと続いてくれれば いいと思ったよ
...I hoped that this winter would go on forever.
でも もうすぐ春が来る
But spring will be here soon.
静かな日々とは お別れだね
These quiet days are almost over.
Rarunga will probably be waking soon too.
ラルンガも 目覚めるだろうしな
そうだな これから 命懸けの修羅場になる
Probably. We'll be facing a life-or-death struggle soon.
バルサ―
Balsa, if we all make it through this battle alive...
この修羅場を生き延びたら―
ずっと３人で この冬みたいに暮らさないか？
...how about the three of us living together like we did this winter?
俺は言うのを ずっと ためらっていた
I've always been hesitant to bring it up.
お前が誓いを果たすまでと思ってさ
I thought I should wait until after you'd fulfilled your promise.
でも 待っていても お前は いつまでたっても気付きゃしない
But even if I did wait, you'd never notice it.
Battles are your whole life now, aren't they?
修羅場が 人生になっちまってるんだろうな
I'm not sure how I can cure that...
どうしたら いいんだろうね
あんた いい薬 持ってるかい？
Do you have any medicine for it?
If you can't think of me as the cure, I guess there's no point in me waiting.
俺が その薬だと思えないなら―
待ってても しかたがないってことだな
You idiot...
（バルサ）バカ野郎
Don't you think I have enough on my mind right now?
今 こんなことで 悩ませるんじゃないよ
ハァ…
（バルサ）チャグム！
Chagum!
（バルサ）どうしたんだい チャグム！ （チャグム）あああ…
What's the matter? Chagum!
チャグム 一体 どうしたんだい！
Chagum, what in the world happened?
This is...
これは！
地面がない…
There's no ground... I'm floating above a deep valley.
ここは 深い谷の… うわっ！
Balsa!
バルサ！ チャグムに引きずられるな！
I'm falling! I'm falling!
（チャグム）落ちる！ 落ちるよ！ 助けて！
I'm falling! I'm falling! Don't let Chagum drag you across!
He's being pulled into Nayug!
（タンダ）チャグムは―
（チャグム）落ちる！ 落ちるよ！ 助けて！
ナユグに引っ張られているんだ！ （バルサ）どうしたらいいんだい！
（チャグム）落ちるよ！ 助けて 助けてー！
What should I do!
（タンダ）お前がチャグムを 引き留める くいになるんだ！
You've got to be the anchor that keeps Chagum fixed in place!
I'm falling!
（チャグム）落ちるよ！
（タンダ） 落ち着くんだ チャグム
Calm down, Chagum.
お前が見ている谷は 今 この場所にはない
The valley that you're seeing doesn't exist here in this place.
お前は ナユグの風景を見ているんだ
What you're seeing is the landscape of Nayug.
Can you hear me?
聞こえるか？
Your body is still right here in Sag...
お前の体は ここ サグに しっかりと存在しているぞ
You're going to be fine. You aren't going to fall.
大丈夫だ お前は落ちたりしない
Chagum, I want you to calm yourself...
チャグム 心を静めて バルサの腕を しっかり感じるんだ
...and focus on Balsa's arms around you.
Well? Do you feel them now?
（タンダ）どうだ 感じてきたか？
（タンダ） バルサの体を頼りにして―
Use Balsa's body as your guide.
Moving outwards from where she's touching you, sense your own body.
バルサに触れているところから 自分の体を感じていくんだ
Slowly bring your mind back to this side.
ゆっくり 心をこちらに戻せ
Remember what it looks like here.
風景を思い出すんだ
冬中暮らした狩穴(かりあな)に お前はいるんだぞ
You're at Hunter's Hole, the place you've been living all winter.
俺が見えるか チャグム
Can you see me, Chagum?
うん 見える…
I can see you...
（バルサ）チャグム！
Chagum!
大丈夫 魂はこちらに 戻ってきている 心配ない
It's all right. His soul has returned to this world. Don't worry.
Do you think this happened because of the egg?
（バルサ） これ 卵のせいだと思うかい？
Well, it is almost spring...
（タンダ）そろそろ 春だしな
（バルサ） いよいよ 始まったってわけだね
I guess this means it's finally started.
How is the work progressing, Master Gakai?
（シュガ）いかがですか ガカイ様
（ガカイ）驚いた
I'm amazed. To think that so many epitaphs were hidden beneath our feet...
まさか これほどの数の碑文が 我々の足元に眠っていたとはな
I cannot help but feel regret at all the time we have wasted.
無駄に過ごした時間を思うと 悔やまれてならん
How are preparations going on your end?
そちらのほうの 準備はどうだ？
I was finally able to determine the approximate location...
先日 ようやく 宴(うたげ)の地の大方の 場所を特定することができました
...of the land of feasting the other day.
（ガカイ）うむ そうか
I see.
だが 最後の最後―
However, recovering the very last of the tablets...
水没した最下層から 石板を 引き上げる作業に手間取っている
...from the lowest, flooded levels is taking much time and effort.
What's more, many of them contain information...
しかも 内容はより核心に迫る 重要なものが多い
...that is crucial to our understanding.
Though I would prefer to obtain all available information as soon as possible...
（シュガ）一刻も早く―
すべての情報が 知りたいというのが本音ですが―
...I ask that you rest a while.
少し お休みください
その言葉 自分に向けてやるがよかろう
Perhaps you should direct those words at yourself.
You have dark circles under your eyes.
目の下に くまができているぞ
建国の裏に隠された この秘密を知ったからこそ―
Now that we have learned the secret behind the country's founding...
...we cannot afford to have you collapse on us.
今 お前に倒れられては困る
Leave this to us. Mark my words. We will finish in time.
ここは我々に任せろ 必ず 間に合わせてみせる
（星読み）ガカイ様
Master Gakai.
今 行く
I'll be right there.
何かあったら すぐに知らせる
If we turn up anything, we will notify you at once.
Master Shuga, the mikado wishes to see you.
（モン）シュガ様 帝(みかど)がお呼びです
When did we last have snow?
（シュガ）最後に雪が降ったのは いつだったか
（モン） 確か 年立ちの月の半ばでした
It was about the time of the first month of the new year, as I recall.
Who would ever have imagined that clear blue skies...
晴れ渡る青空というものが これほどまでに恐ろしく―
...would instill such dread and fill my heart with such worry?
心を曇らせることになろうとはな…
As I sat huddled and alone, holding back the tears on those nights...
When it felt like I was about to succumb to my doubts...
...there you were, at my side before I knew it.
It was none other than you who was there for me.
I keep wishing, "I want to be strong." I stumble and hurt myself again.
But because I have you to believe in, I can get back to my feet.
I simply want to tell my dear one, "Thank you."
At the top of my lungs, again and again.
I call out to my precious loved one.
Is my voice reaching you?
In this world that always changes, human warmth never does.
I'm certain I sensed the presence of the one that I hold dear.
～♪
Next Time
The egg awakens with the spring thaw...
...and the being from another world also reaches its time of emergence.
Next time, "In Search of the Shigu Salua."
Episode 23 In Search of the Shigu Salua
The scent of flowers draws everyone to the last place they can be found.
