02x13 - The Wise Man's Identity

[bunniefuu]

On the contrary,
I think trust that is too easily gained

will only become a disadvantage in battle.

I disagree.

Fushi learns the story of Hairo,

who is tasked to gain
the trust of the soldiers.

So? What do you want from me if you win?

I want your trust.

Messar is using
his own way to protect Renril.

Will they become true allies?

Found you, girl!

You're from out of town, aren't you?

My mother says
you're the child of the devil!

Take this!

Begone!

One more time!

Mama!

Wait for me!

Are you all right, Eko?

What's this?

Is it for me?

Did you make this?

Let me try some.

What is this? It tastes awful!

Eko, you shouldn't be here!

You can't wander off on your own!

You're the one that's wrong here!

Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her?

She can't do anything by herself.

Sorry…

Finally got the map
of the waterways from the princess.

Throughout the city of Renril,

there's a total of nine waterways.

Water flows in from the west river.

The sewer goes through the eastern gate.

This is the first waterway
on the west side.

The water flows in from the mountains,

passes through the water gates,

and into here.

This is enough for the Nokkers
to infiltrate through this channel.

Water is an essential resource.

We'll need to station soldiers here
to reinforce defenses or enclose the area.

We might need Fushi
to make clean water too.

Can you do it?

I can't.

I can manage it if it's a small amount,
but with this much water…

Then, recreate the waterway

and fortify it with iron.

We'll need to seal off the waterway.

I'll ask the soldiers to help us.

I'll draw up the plan.

Let's return to eat.

We're already eating.

Why?

It's too much work going back and forth.

I'm done with this one.

How many more?

Five more in this area. Shall we go?

Five…

Please take a break.

I haven't seen you
get any shut-eye in a week.

I'm fine.

I'll be fully restored
after I re-transform.

But I still get hungry though.

Want some, Eko?

We need to construct six buildings
in an hour or we won't make it in time.

Let's go, Fushi.

Okay.

Don't you guys think
you're overworking him?

He should live his life
like a normal person!

Fushi said he was fine,
so he should do it.

This is something only he can do.

Wouldn't you do the same?

I can't move freely
around this city like the rest of you.

I can't contribute much.

I understand, Kahaku.
I'll rest properly tonight.

Fushi…

However, you need to
let me finish today's quota.

All I can do is make sure
he gets some good rest.

I see.

So this is how he snuck past Kahaku.

This will let him work at night too.

This is quite the distance from our base.

It's impressive that his body
managed to stay connected.

I can fool Kahaku,
but I think his left hand will know.

Do you like that?

I'll make one for you too.

Thank you, Miss.

The water is murky.

It has been like this lately.

Maybe we should report this to the castle.

We've inspected all nine waterways.

Nothing appears to be out of the ordinary.

Maybe it's a problem
with one of the branches.

That is possible,
but how can we verify the problem?

You're the little girl from earlier.

Is something the matter?

Good work, Fushi.

Eko.

What is it?

Smells great!

Tonight's dinner is all my favorites!

Eko, I'll be having
dinner at home tonight.

Welcome back, Fushi.

You lied to me, Eko.

The water turned clear today,
so we made hot pot.

I heard the water has been dirty lately.

Has it been restored?

Didn't you know, Fushi?

Eko found the problem in the waterways.

Everyone has been praising her.

Is that so?

Here. Dig in.

Delicious! This is great!

Eko made that.

So the food Eko made tasted bad
because the water was bad.

Yes!

This is horrible!

Well, it's not as if I'm in a position
to criticize her cooking.

You're amazing, Eko.

Thank you.

We're back.

What's the matter?

What's going on
with the houses you guys built?

What's that white mucous stuff
that's all over everything?

Please pay that no mind, everyone.

It's harmless.

Where did Fushi go?

Is he working on his own?

There are only a few days left
until the date foretold by the Nokkers.

We won't be able to make it
if he doesn't keep up the construction.

But we still need to practice caution.

The people are taking
more and more interest in him.

It's only a matter of time
before they learn his identity.

Next, that side.

Feelings of happiness…

Suffering…

Pain…

I can sense what every person
in this city is feeling.

Are you all right?

You're bleeding. Stay still.

Mother? What's wrong?

I think her leg is hurting.

You should take her to the doctor.

Are you all right?

Ouch!

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

Here you go.

Thank you.

Ouch!

With every building I construct,
my consciousness spreads.

But I can't possibly help everyone!

What is this?

It's my first time feeling this.

Will this go on forever?

This is really hard for me.

I'm all right.

I don't have time to rest.

I can't be feeling tired.

Eko can't talk.

She doesn't get anything in return
and yet she is trying so hard on her own.

Fushi.

Twelve more to go for today.

Let's keep it up.

Okay.

It's about time
to rebuild the castle walls.

We've already started to tear them down.

You got the princess to say yes?

Apparently,

Messar challenged the princess,
and for every game he wins,

we're allowed to tear down one wall.

You lost again.

But the walls can't be
covered up like the other buildings.

I'll be seen when I rebuild them.

That's right.

So I plan for us to rebuild those walls
when the festival is underway at night.

About the celebration
of the founding of the nation,

can you extend it
to a week instead of three days?

The soldiers guarding the walls
should get a break too, right?

Let them take some time off.

You intend to rebuild
those walls during that period, yes?

To prevent the people
from disturbing the Great One.

Isn't it about time
you tell me who that person is?

Sure.

I'll tell you
after all of Renril is rebuilt.

Hey!

A festival, huh?

In two months,
this place will become a b*ttlefield.

This wall was torn down
just a while ago, wasn't it?

Yes.

Fushi?

O' Great One!

Camu?

What's wrong?

I just need ten minutes!
Can you come with me?

This will be my only request!

We hold this tournament

in commemoration
of the founding of the nation!

Now entering the field are…

Renril's Little Wild Boar, Camu!

The Katsuyama Master, Nando!

Begin!

It hurts!

My shoulder hurts!

It's dangerous to leave this out here.
Someone could trip on it.

It's connected to something…

No! Don't touch that!

My apologies, O' Great One!

He almost cut off my body's connection.

He fell down all of a sudden.

What's going on?

I don't know.

He fainted right after taking a hit.

Is he messing with us?

Hey! Get up!

Don't do that!

Crap…

Sorry! My bad!

You did great, Camu.
Well then, I'm out of here.

Wait! We still need to
take care of your wound!

Wound?

It's not a big deal!

Goodbye!

Give me a break.

I don't want to get caught by
the Church of Bennett again.

What do you guys think
about what happened today?

I've heard of that.

The immortal.

The guy that got
the Church of Bennett all up in arms?

What was his name again?

Fushi.

That was just something
the Church of Bennet made up, wasn't it?

How can you be so sure?

No, well…

By the way, who is that Nando guy?
I've never seen him around before.

Let's go and see him!

What? See who?

That old man, the Great One!

He can rebuild dozens of houses
in a day! That's too suspicious!

Only Fushi is capable of such a thing!

Stop! You can't go any further!

This is our city!

We can go wherever we want!

Found him!

So that's Fushi?

Seriously? The devil is that kid?

Whatever.

I need to move on to the next wall.

I have to save everyone.

Calm down, everyone!

He must be a guard
the princess stationed there.

Do you know him?

Well…

But I heard Fushi
was ex*cuted by the Church of Bennett!

Let's just ask the person himself.

Wait…

-Out of our way!
-No!

Camu!

You guys are going too far!

Well, I was going
to be found out sooner or later.

It doesn't matter
if the church locks me up again.

I'm used to the heat of molten iron.

I'll escape in two days.

Camu, remove your shirt.

Thank you, Fushi.

He disappeared!

Remember, everyone!

Recall everything that happened
in Renril these past few months!

Haven't we all been
working tirelessly to protect this city?

And right among us
was an incredible existence!

Think about who that could be!

The man who treated Camu's wounds

saved my mother.

He gave my wife medicine too.

My brother received help
from the Great One too.

Next, I have to rebuild that house.

I haven't planted roots in this area yet.

But everyone
probably knows my identity now.

If I pass through the streets,
I'll definitely cause a commotion.

Maybe I should transform into the dog.

No. I'll go as I am.

This is a display of my intent.

-Is it your day off?
-Yes.

I haven't forgotten
about everyone's contributions.

All of us are working

towards a mutual goal.

We're fighting to protect
what might be taken from us.

No one has an issue with you here.

None of the soldiers were stirred up.

That posture is a declaration of loyalty.

Fushi, you are the savior of this city.

NEXT EPISODE

Fushi and his group
have gained the trust of the people.

Princess Arume

brings Fushi to meet a person.

The battle is approaching.

Bon makes the three warriors

choose their fate.
