02x05.5 - Episode 5.5

[bunniefuu]

This is Grace Field House.

A facility where orphans live.

Let's give thanks that all of you siblings

are able to live here happily, today, too...

Thank you for the food.

Thank you for the food.

A soft bed, warm meals,

clean clothes, and a kind Mom.

We were happy... Until that day.

Norman...

We discovered the House's secret.

This world was ruled by demons that eat humans,

and we were their food.

The House was a facility

to raise children to feed them.

It'll be okay. Let's run away.

Together, with everyone.

On that day, we began our escape plan.

Mom is...

...an enemy.

After matching wits with Mom,

we faced despair.

Congratulations, Norman.

Your shipment date has been set.

We lost someone precious.

I'm leaving the rest to you.

Yeah...

It'll be okay. Don't ever give up.

I'm going to be shipped,

but my will is still with them.

Emma and the others can pull it off.

They can escape from here.

This way.

Can you wait in this room for a little bit?

And I was about to learn

how this world functioned.

"The Promised Neverland Season "

"Special Episode 'Guidepost'"

The secret of the demons...

"The Promised Neverland Season "

"Special Episode 'Guidepost'"



The children raised at Grace Field House are

shipped between their th and th birthday.

And on the night before Ray's birthday,

we escaped.

According to the plan Norman left us.

I've been waiting for this day.

I decided this a long time ago.

Many, many years ago.

Don't think you can eat me.

Don't think you can serve me.

Food? Merchandise? I don't give a crap!

I'm a human being! Serves them right!

Ray...

Besides, this is how it should be.

This is the best way.

I've watched my family die all these years.

I used them.

And they were all good kids.

They were all so kind.

I'm now years old.

It was a life I wanted to curse, but the time

I spent with everyone was really fun.

No, stop!

Thank you.

Bye-bye, Emma.

Nice catch.

You...

Sorry, but I'm not going to let you die.

Not me, nor the other children.

The other children?

I brought what you asked for, Emma.

And everyone's already good to go.

"You can die anywhere,

and it doesn't have to be here."

"I'll show you something cool,

so shut up and come."

A message from Norman.

To my dearest Emma...

I'm going to write down the plan from here.

Ray is planning to die.

He's going to set himself on fire

to distract Mom, and let us run away.

That's Ray's plan.

I'm not going to let him do that,

no matter what.

That's why I'm writing down

the plan I came up with.

It'll happen in two months.

Probably the night before Ray's birthday.

Okay, let's begin, Norman.

Use the fire that Ray's planning to start,

save Ray, outwit Mom, and escape with everyone.

Don't worry. There's time.

Okay everyone, let's escape.

We'll run to the wall!

Norman.

I'm counting on you, Emma.

Please take care of Ray and our siblings.

Norman.

You'll show me something cool,

so shut up and come, huh?

And isn't it cool?

Look.

It's scenery we never thought we would see.

Yeah.

I thought it would never be possible

to take everyone.

I thought they would be a hindrance.

I hesitated, too.

But in the end, I made a decision,

and it's thanks to Emma.

You don't have to give up, Ray.

We only get harvested

when we turn six years old.

In order to raise high-quality kids again, they

can't k*ll the younger ones who have potential.

At worst, I estimate

that we have two years of time.

Mom.

I can wait.

So leave us behind.

But I haven't given up.

I'll definitely return within two years.

That's when I'll take Phil and the others, as

well as all the kids in the other four plants.

Goodbye... Mom.

Don't go, Emma.

I'll definitely come back to get everyone else.

Today is our first step forward.

It's our first morning.

What now?

Any ideas on where we should go?

Yeah. We'll head southeast.

Southeast?

Is that what Norman left us?

Could that be William Minerva?

"If you need help, come visit me."

"I'm located at B - ."

"William Minerva."

It's because Norman left us this pen.

Yeah.

After we escaped the House,

we headed to point B -

to meet William Minerva, who had

given us clues about the outside world.

The journey wasn't an easy one.

Everyone, run!

We were att*cked by wild demons...

It's over. Just give up.

...and almost captured by

pursuers from the House.

This way.

Come this way.

But we were saved...

No, I won't... I promised...

...that I wouldn't give up.

After them!

...by the traveling demons,

Sonju and Mujika.

Why are demons saving humans?

I'm sorry to have scared you.

But we don't intend to harm any of you.

My name is Mujika, and this is Sonju.

We don't eat humans.

That's why we don't intend

to eat you or the others.

Rest at ease.

Sonju and Mujika don't eat humans,

and became our friends.

We'll eat anything other than human flesh.

We are what you call heretics of this society.

The farm's ideology, profit, authority,

everything... We don't care for any of it.

Can you tell us?

What is going on in the world right now?

Nothing has happened.

The world has been like this for a long time.

What do you mean?

Let me tell you an old tale.

An old tale?

And then we found out...

...how this world came to be.

Before, the world was

much more vast than now.

In such a massive world, there were

abundant humans for demons to hunt and eat.

There were predators and prey.

There were humans who surrendered

to the demons out of fear.

Other humans detested the demons

and instead hunted and k*lled them back.

Endless k*lling. Constant fear.

When both sides got sick of the situation,

the humans proposed a solution.

"Let's come to an agreement."

"Humans won't hunt demons,

and demons won't hunt humans."

"Let's segregate our worlds."

Everything began with this promise.

The promise split the world in two,

dividing them.

This area is the demon side of the world.

In addition, your ancestors were left behind

as gifts to the demon world

at the time of the promise.

Left behind?

"The demons won't hunt humans."

To keep that promise,

humans have since been managed and bred.

The breeding system is the farm, with

Grace Field being one of the top among them.

The top class of the many

and various farms that exist.

Two worlds?

A promise... between demons and humans.

All right! I'm so glad!

It's the worst-case scenario,

but there's something to hope for!

Yeah! It's better than we thought!

There's a separate world for humans.

A world without demons exist!

There was a world without demons.

To get there, we first had to get

to B - , where Mr. Minerva was.

After learning the skills to survive in

this world from Sonju and Mujika,

we headed there.

So big!

So wide!

We're finally at the exit.

Keep going south that way

and you'll reach your destination.

B - .

Emma.

Mujika?

It's an amulet.

Hold on to it.

I'm sure it will protect you.

How much longer?

Are we getting close?

Emma, where are we now?

It's here.

What?

This is B - .

Huh?

There's no mistake.

The place we are right now...

...is B - .

Seriously?

Then, calm down.

For situations like these, we have the pen.

It's probably made so you

can't see beyond a certain point

unless you go to a specified location.

The pen gave us the information to find

the entrance to an underground shelter.

Past here, we'll finally...

Yeah.

In the end, Mr. Minerva wasn't here.

But this shelter was amazing!

Electricity, water, food...

Everything we needed to live was available.

We can live here, in this place.

Yeah. It's the perfect hideout.

This is William Minerva.

M-Mr. Minerva?

Hello? Mr. Minerva?

It's a recording.

My real name is James Ratri.

I used to be affiliated with the farms.

But one day, it became unbearable to me

knowing that you children were sacrificed

for a promise made between

humans and demons , years ago.

But I couldn't break that promise.

I hoped, at least, that the kids who realized

could choose their own future.

I slipped clues into books going to the farms,

to guide them to the shelter

you're currently in...

But the farms discovered

my series of betrayals,

and pursued me as a traitor.

If you would like to leave

and go to the human world,

type this word in the pen.

F. U. T. U. R. E...

"Future."

A map!

D ...

It's at the edge of the west

side. It's really far!

But if we head there...

We can go to the human world.

Until then, we won't give up!

If we do, we'll let Norman down.

I promised Norman, after all.

That I wouldn't give up. I won't let anyone die.

I will escape with everyone in our family.

That's the promise we have to keep.

But our time here didn't last long.

I will return all of the children unharmed,

and ship them out as originally planned.

You want to see them, don't you?

Grandma...

I know that they will get away.

They are my children, after all.

Are you able to get them back?

Those children?

Of course.

In that case, I'm willing to give you a chance.

If you can retrieve every single child,

we shall release you.

You know perfectly well

how valuable the perfect scores are.

Your release won't be the only reward.

Rest assured, I will get back

those children who betrayed me.

Every last one.

"ONE YEAR SINCE ESCAPING GRACE FIELD HOUSE"

And time passed...

Did you hear? Another farm was att*cked.

Stealing children, eh?

There's been a lot lately.

I'd steal some if I could, too.

All the good meat only goes to the nobles.

It would be nice to get to eat meat

from a top-class farm, even once.

Think the meat from Grace Field Farm

is still on the run?

That happened almost a year ago.

They're probably all dead by now.

We've been hiding in an abandoned temple

located in an area

not too far from a demon town.

Welcome back!

Sorry we're late.

How did it go, Emma?

We need to figure out this situation where

we're barely able to get food to eat,

and go save Phil and the others

as soon as possible.

We can't keep running forever.

We're able to hide from the pursuers.

Ever since the att*ck on the shelter,

we've been unable to do anything.

It would have been possible at the shelter,

but we can't bring Phil and the others here.

We have our hands full, too.

The next destination is still far, far away...

It's far.

Could we really make it to that place?

There is an elderly blind demon

who occasionally comes to this temple to pray.

Gracious One, I appreciate your gifts

and pure food. Please continue to grace us.

And our family.

This is the Evil-Blooded Temple.

Children shouldn't stay here on their own.

Family... That old man

was praying for his family.

Even demons have families, too.

We headed to the demon town again

to find necessary supplies.

Stay close.

Hey, Thoma, look!

Ah, sorry!

Something smells good.

Hold on, I still smell it.

It's the smell of humans.

You take that one!

Good, we lost them.

We need to disappear into the crowd too.

There they are!

Scram! Those are our prey!

We won't let you swipe them!

Emma.

No way...

Now, can you tell us your story?

Norman!

I finally found you.
