02x04 - The Young Man Who Can See

[bunniefuu]

While traveling
with Hayase's descendant, Kahaku,

Fushi, whose mind
and body are being held c*ptive,

feels his conviction is wavering
in the battle against the Nokkers.

Is there a purpose for my existence?

Fushi, I, Bonchien,
will show you a brand new world!

This week's Best Bonnist Award goes to…

our dearly beloved prince,

Bonchien Nicoli La Tasty Peach Uralis!

The people are showering him
with praise for capturing the immortal!

That's our Master Bon!

He is getting better and better!

Amazing!

Master Bon is incredible!

Good morning, Fushi!

Did you sleep well?

Have your troubles been solved?

No, not yet.

That's right. Indeed. I understand.

But I think I'll stay with you
for the time being.

That gives me such a tingling feeling!

The Nokkers might come,

so I was thinking of leaving tonight.

The Nokkers?

I'll take care of them easily!

They might emerge from the ground
without warning!

You'll need to plant bombs
on the ground to stop that.

Fret not!

I've already installed expl*sives
all around the castle!

We'll blow them all up!

Are you serious? If you do that, then…

That would be a lie, of course.

Let's go, Kahaku.

Take care, Bon.

Wait!

If you leave now,
all my efforts would have been in vain!

I'll need you to stay with me
until I become king!

What are you doing?

Get off of her this instant!

King? No one told me about it
nor does it have anything to do with me.

Your superpowers
will surely be of use to me!

If you're leaving,
then I'm coming with you!

And so,

I shall be traveling
with Fushi and his group.

I see.

Brother, are you leaving again?

You just came back!

Do not be sad, my dear siblings.

I am doing this to protect everyone
from the Nokkers.

I doubt the Church of Bennett

would be pleased to hear that
you're traveling with the Guardian Force.

Who cares about the Church of Bennett?

I am Prince Bon!

What will you tell the people?

Everyone is hailing you as a hero
who defeated the evil immortal.

I will tell them the truth.

I will explain everything

and let them know that
we should be cooperating with Fushi.

Wait! Whatever are you doing?

Are you that opposed to me coming along?

No.

I just wanted to stay away
from the castle before we left.

I see.

But do you intend to sleep out here
in the wilderness? You'll catch a cold!

Let me have them build a wall for you!

Construction!

No need. I can make it myself.

What is this? A leaf wall?
It'll only get blown away!

Stones are heavy though.

I thought you would be able to create
an entire house all at once.

So you can't do that?

Not yet.

I can only make parts.

Allow me.

What else can't you make?

Water, fire,

objects much bigger than me,

and things I've never seen.

Can you not create living things?

No.

Here's a crab.

Your job is to collect everything, right?
What happens after you're done?

I've never given that any thought.

Hey, black-hooded guy!

What will you reward Fushi
for assisting you?

I will grant him freedom.

He says he will set me free.

Thank you for answering, Mr. Black.

I'm Bonchien Nicoli La Tasty Peach Uralis.

You shall be hearing from me from now on.

He's not there.

I didn't expect you to believe someone
who would use such vague words as freedom.

No.

Perhaps you do not believe it,

and that's why
you have that apathetic face on.

Forget your work for now.

There will be a parade
the day after tomorrow to send us off.

Before then, work on your facial muscles
to make sure you can pull off a smile.

Why don't you make some friends?

Do you not have a lover?

Find one! That's an order from Prince Bon!

Okay.

That's a good child.

I shall take my leave now.

Don't think about running away.
Even if you try, I will find you

no matter where you go
and how many times you try.

Thank you for the crab.

Friend… lover…

I know what those words mean
but I don't quite understand them.

Good morning, Fushi!

My brother has a gift for you!

Choose whichever one you like!

Can I?

But I don't need to ride one.
I can turn into a horse myself.

This is an order from my brother.

It would be rude for you not to accept.

Is that so? It's hard to choose one.

The mares tend to be more obedient.

Which horse will be my friend?

You want friends, Fushi?

Bon wants me to make friends.

Ouch! What's with this horse?

When did we have such a beautiful horse?

Choose this one! It matches you!

Brother!

What's wrong?

I came to see how Fushi was doing,

but the stench
around here is simply awful!

I took out my handkerchief
to cover my nose, but then…

My precious handkerchief
was blown into the waste river!

It's filthy!

I'll get it for you.

Don't! Your dress will get dirty!

I must include this in the author's
comment section in next week's Bon Weekly.

I'll retrieve it for you, Master Bon.

Is it this one, Master Bon?

Yes… probably.

Clean the rest off yourself.

Yes, Your Highness.

Are you all right?

Mr. Fushi! I'll be coming along
as well so I'll be under your care.

What is your name?

Everyone calls me Todo.

You're a brave one.

Why would you go that far?

If I want to keep working at the castle,

I'll need to make myself
useful to Prince Bon.

I'll do anything for His Highness.

This…

Is this really Prince Bon's handkerchief?

I think so.

He said it was precious to him.

Really? His Highness said that?

Is there someone you like?

Is it Bon?

Of course not!

I'm a man so it's not possible!

I see.

There, there. Be good.

You must never approach
a horse from behind, Fushi.

You have much to work on
in regards to your horse-riding skills.

I'll learn along our travels.

Say Kahaku,

can men fall in love with other men too?

Why the sudden interest?

I-I suppose.

It's a vast world, after all.

I wouldn't know much about that though.

What about you, Fushi?

Do you prefer men or women?

Women, I guess?

I spend a lot more time as a man, so…

I think you could fall for a man too!

After all, you're a woman right now

so I think that's possible too!

-I suppose you're right.
-Yes!

Why did you ask me that?

I didn't know, so I asked.

I've been by myself for a long time.

Bon wants me to make friends,
to find a lover…

and to smile.

I hope you find a lover.

Ready, Fushi?

Yes.

What's that? You're not smiling at all.

That wasn't what we agreed on.

Give me a smile.

This week's Best Bonnist Award
goes to Fushi!

He is not the devil

but a holy warrior
who is fighting against the Nokkers

for the sake of the people!

Safe travels, Master Bon!

Our Prince Bon was deeply moved
by this and decided to support his cause!

Fushi, over here!

In this world,

there are things that can
and cannot be seen by the eye.

It took me quite a while
to realize this obvious fact.

That's because I can see everything.

Of course,

I can see the future too.

I am Prince Bonchien
Nicoli La Tasty Peach Uralis,

a man who will someday be king.

Papa, the king.

Mama, the fashionable.

Torta, my snotty little brother.

Pocoa, my adorable little sister.

In this family, I, Bonchien, Prince Bon,

was raised with love
and care by many as the future king.

The one I was closest to
was the person who would put me to bed.

Why am I special?

It's because you can share
that specialness with others.

Share with others?

That's right.

The immortal boy is special just like you.

You're going to tell me a story
about the immortal today, too, right?

She wouldn't tell me her name,

but every night, she would
tell me stories about the immortal boy,

and I would sleep well.

I was second closest to Fen,
who lived in the kitchen.

He would always tell me
if Mama had made something with broccoli

which I disliked.

I don't want to eat this.

Why? It's delicious!

-See?
-Faster! As if you're dancing!

The third would be Nixon,
who only had his right hand.

I won! You're dead!

Don't throw the sword!
You should use it to stab me!

I won!

Thanks to his teaching,
my sword skills improved.

That's right. To be able to see it all

was never a bad thing to me.

But the one I wanted to befriend the most

was the girl who would come
to the castle three days a week.

Today, I'll talk to her for sure.

Hi.

What are you doing?

Well… That's very cute.

Can I take a look at it?

I see. You're also…

You…

Will you stay here in this castle?

Brother, where are you?

Brother!

Found you!

What are you doing over there?

Brother?

There was a very cute girl here.

Brother is in love!

Love?

Did a vixen get inside the castle?

Good grief.

No, Mama.

It's the thing he always does.

Untie me!

What are you guys trying to do to me?

Let me go!

Please do not move.

Will this really drive off Bon's demons?

Yes.

According to the guidance of the stars,

so long as he makes it through tonight,

he'll be able to stand against the demons.

Did you hear that, Bon?

Do not worry us anymore.

Mama…

It would seem that
I had made others worry.

I'm sorry, Your Highness.

Thank you for talking to me.

May we meet again.

Did she leave?

I didn't even get to ask for her name.

Are you all right, Master Bon?

Women are not worth it.

Forget about her.

This is a good opportunity
for me to leave the castle.

No way. Why?

I don't want you
to be treated as a madman.

I'll be returning to Fushi.

Fushi? The immortal boy?

Isn't that just a story you made up?

It's real.

Look in the skies.

Wherever you see
a large bird soaring in the sky,

Fushi will be below.

He casts a shadow bigger than any other.

Who are you?

Come and find me sometime.

Fifteen years have passed.

Just when those memories started to fade,

an incident occurred.

These colors suit Papa best after all…

A will.

The next king of Uralis shall be

the second prince, Prince Torta.

Papa! What is this?

That snotty Torta is to be the next king?

What's the meaning of this?

Where did you find that?

I was renovating your cabinets.

Let me ask you this.

How do you spend your monthly allowance?

This month, I made
matching clothes with Pocoa

because it's her birthday.

Last month, I gave Mama's horses
a new set of accessories for autumn.

During that same time,
Torta donated to the orphanage

and repaired the old beds in the hospital.

Who do you think is better suited
to be king between the two of you?

Is pleasing the people that great?

I just wanted to be the best of myself!

I did it for everyone too.

Thank you, Master Torta!

I finally realized that

there are things that cannot be seen.

Damn it. I'll show them.

I will be the one that becomes king!

But, how?

This is…

It's the person she told me about.

He really exists.

"A bounty of 1,000 gold coins."

Is he a bad guy?

But…

If I can capture him, it'll all work out.
They might acknowledge me as king.

Let's go, Prince Bon.

It has been almost a year
since we left the castle, Your Highness.

How long will we keep searching?

Quiet, Todo. Fret not.

But this is pointless.

The immortal can change
his appearance, can't he?

He is here.

I saw that bird hovering above this city.

But birds fly over every city.

Hey, you're here.

NEXT EPISODE

The battle with the Nokkers
continues for Fushi and his group.

As they continue their expedition,

they encounter a girl
on the brink of death,

and an important truth is revealed.
