00:00One, eyes are drawn to the other side To the home and suddenly a long way off
00:13Three, parents' faces hidden from sight Four, trace the path to the underworld
00:25Five, they grow farther off over time Six, nostalgic for the days of old
00:36Seven, all the tears try to not Eight, and before long
00:50That's where the song ends
00:55One, eyes are drawn to the other side
01:06こんな夜の中で一人歩く僕です
01:10行き先は決まって君の声のもとへ
01:13煌めいた月上がり騒がしくなる街で
01:17見つけられずに君の歌を歌った
01:20明日はきっと会える気がしたんだ
01:24期待を重ねて待ってたけど
01:27約束した場所で笑ってしまうよ
01:31来ないのは知ってたから
01:34止めのない想いのままで歩き出すための中で
01:38忘れないでと泣きそう
01:41それでも暗闇は怖いから
01:43いつか僕は忘れてしまうから
01:45そんな世界で今日も探している
01:48下手な生き方でも
01:52夜明けは綺麗だね
01:55いつでもやり直そう
01:59君と会った場所で

03:00I'm the one who should be no need to worry little lady
03:04This man happens to be Lord now to go Miura and though he may be a samurai. He's famous around here for having a heart of gold
03:15Thank you for waiting. Here's your kaki soba. Thank you so much
03:23What seems to be the matter young man have you maybe lost your appetite not exactly
03:29Something's just been nagging me as of late. Well, do you have something on your mind? Yes
03:39Sir, would you mind lending me your ear for a second? Hey, I'll listen to whatever you need to get off your chest. Thank you
03:47You see it's about my older brother
03:50All right, hold on just a minute. That's crazy talk
03:54Everyone knows you're the Miura family heir. There's no way you have an older sibling
03:59That cannot be the case. I'm certain. I had an older brother
04:02Oh, who?
04:03Yes, do you know of him?
04:06Perhaps you've heard of a man by the name satanaga Miura
04:10No, I'm afraid not
04:14Of course that figures nobody seems to know who he is not even my parents
04:21I'm starting to wonder if I've just lost my mind
04:24It may seem a bit difficult, but why don't you try to lighten up look your soba is gonna get cold
04:40Lord Miura I apologize if I'm overstepping, but there's someone that might be able to help
04:45Hold on. You know someone I do and I believe he might be able to assist you with your predicament
04:52That's right
04:55Actually, one of our regulars is a fella who loves poking his nose and all sorts of interesting things
05:02You mean to say that he's some type of diviner or shaman?
05:07People who make their living by exercising evil spirits
05:10He's just your typical Ronin
05:18But for some reason he goes around resolving strange incidents and mysteries
05:23For a nice little price, of course
05:25Then I hear he's got sword skills that can slice a demon to ribbons
05:29He may come off as intimidating at the beginning
05:33But he's kind
05:35Not to mention he has some funny quirks
05:37He stops by each day to fill up with some kake soba
05:41Oh, well, speak of the devil
05:43Welcome in, pal
05:46Good to see you
05:48Kake soba, please
05:49Coming right up
05:51I'll be out in a minute
05:51You're just hooked on that tasty dish, aren't you?
06:12No, not really
06:13And there you go again
06:16Would it kill you to have a little more tact?
06:19Fine
06:20The soba here may be a bit plain
06:22But I've developed a soft spot for it
06:25Now you're talking
06:26Let me pour you some tea
06:30You've gotten quite good at that
06:34Well, I should hope so
06:36I've been working to improve a little each day
06:38And what progress have you made, Genia?
06:44Fall is the time for Osmanthus
06:46It exudes a very pleasantly sweet fragrance
06:49And starts to bloom beautiful flowers around this time of year
06:52Yes, that's very good
06:54I've found plans to be fascinating to learn about
06:58My eyes are drawn to the flowers on the roadside now
07:01I told you
07:02Well, at this point
07:04We've covered all of the different seasonal blooms
07:07Next, I can teach you about different flowers and mythology
07:10I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation
07:12If I may
07:18I go by the name of Naotsugu Miura
07:22Sorry, I realize this may come off as rude
07:24But I understand that you're a man who occupies himself with rumors regarding demons
07:29And other strange phenomenon
07:30Or so I've heard
07:32That's correct
07:33Slaying demons is how I make my living
07:36Great!
07:37Then I suppose you can get to the bottom of a mystery for me
07:40No, not necessarily
07:42My expertise is limited to slaying demons
07:46I'm afraid I won't be of much help unless they happen to be the cause of your problem
07:51I'm sorry
07:52I understand
07:55Lord Miura!
08:16Hey buddy
08:18I hate to ask
08:19But could you find it in your heart to lend that gentleman a hand?
08:22His idiot of a big brother apparently went missing some time ago
08:27And now he's worried sick about him
08:29Would you please consider it?
08:32I think losing someone so important has made him very emotionally unstable
08:36Please help us!
08:43Very well
08:44I suppose I do owe the two of you a favor after all
08:47You seem rather obsessed with that man
08:51Well, yeah
08:54He's one of our few regulars
08:56What are you doing here?
09:10Ma'am?
09:11May I have an order of tea and a sobe mochi?
09:14Coming up!
09:14You really like mochi?
09:27Yes
09:28Here's your order
09:32Why, thank you
09:33Wow
09:38It tastes better when you haven't had it in a while
09:40On a related note
09:42When are you and Zenji planning on getting married?
09:48Where the hell did that come from?
09:50Sixteen is the marrying age
09:51And he's nice
09:53Okay, fine
09:54But you're out of your mind if you think I'd marry him
09:56Is that so?
09:58I imagine Master Juzo would like seeing you as someone like him
10:02But Zenji is...
10:05You know
10:07More of a brother figure to me
10:09And besides
10:11Even though my dad has ideas for prospective husbands
10:14He has already discussed with me that I have the freedom to choose for myself
10:18But from a business perspective
10:20I'm sure he would like me to marry a samurai or merchant
10:23What about you?
10:27Don't you want a wife?
10:29Not many women are eccentric enough to wet a ronin without a steady job
10:33I see
10:34I suppose that's true
10:38But there comes a time when you really have to consider settling down
10:43How old are you anyways?
10:46I'm 31
10:47No way!
10:49Older than Zenji?
10:51You choked about being immune to getting old
10:53But what's the actual secret behind it?
10:56Who knows?
10:58I'm leaving the money over here
10:59Why the rush?
11:01Back to work
11:02Oh
11:03Demons again?
11:08Hey
11:09Why do you go around hunting them?
11:12With skills as good as yours?
11:14You shouldn't have a problem finding plenty of other easy paying jobs
11:18I wish I had an answer
11:21I'm not sure why I'm doing it myself
11:24So you're uncertain?
11:26But if I had to give a reason for it
11:28It's because this is the only path carved for me
11:32I see
11:34Well that's somewhat of a relief to hear
11:37You have such a dry and hardened personality
11:42That it sometimes feels like you don't care about anything
11:45Honestly, I never exactly knew what to think of you
11:48But now, I see that even you have your own difficult moments
11:52It seems you're just like the rest of us
11:55Lady Natsu
11:59Just call me Natsu
12:01Being so formal all the time makes things awkward
12:04Besides, we've known each other long enough now
12:07I suppose I better get back to the shop
12:14Don't spend too much time brooding
12:16Or else you'll end up with permanent wrinkles on your forehead
12:19Arimori
12:30Are you going out looking again?
12:34How many times must I tell you
12:39You are the only heir to the Miura family
12:41You have no brother
12:42Except that I clearly remember him
12:44I've heard that you've gone as far as the slums and red light districts
12:47Searching for this imaginary figure
12:49Abide by morals
12:52Exemplify courage
12:54Practice compassion
12:55And behave with courtesy
12:56The samurai code dictates that we give everything in service to our sworn lord Tokugawa
13:01Yet you don't seem to care about that in the slightest
13:04I'll focus on my duties once I find my brother
13:07Now excuse me
13:08Enough of this
13:10Arimori
13:11Homes aren't what make people
13:39It's the people who make the home
13:42Uh huh
13:43For home and country
13:45I can understand that sentiment
13:48But even so
13:50I'm not willing to twist my values and beliefs just to abide by it
13:54Brother
13:59Where are you?
14:03Off to look for him
14:04It's you
14:07Jinya
14:08I am at your service
14:10Regarding your mystery
14:12I have decided to do some digging into it
14:15Huh?
14:16However
14:16I can't promise that I will get any answers
14:19I do hope you understand
14:21Sure
14:22I'll take it
14:23I'm happy to know that you believe me
14:26That alone is enough to give me some peace of mind
14:29Now then
14:30I apologize for being brief
14:32But I would like to know how things were before your brother's disappearance
14:36Alright
14:37Then come to my
14:38Wait, no
14:39Hmm
14:41In that case
14:43You introduced yourself as a ronin earlier, didn't you?
14:52Yes
14:53I couldn't help but notice your high-quality katana
14:56Do you come from a samurai background?
15:00No
15:00I don't
15:02Huh?
15:03I once lived in a village filled with bellows
15:05They were used by blacksmiths to forge katana
15:08The role I served required me to wield one
15:10Oh
15:12Now I'm serving that role once again
15:15I receive direct permission from the shogunate to carry this blade
15:19I see
15:20Are you from Codono by any chance?
15:24Impressive deduction
15:25Oh wow
15:27Blacksmith and bellow talk
15:28And your iron scabbard
15:29Gave me a bit of an inkling
15:31It's embarrassing to admit
15:33But I'm a connoisseur
15:34Learning about the different makes of blades is a pastime of mine
15:37I've heard one trademark of Codono blades
15:40Is the simple yet refined metalwork on the scabbards
15:43And the quality of the one you carry is outstanding
15:46This was originally a very sacred blade that was enshrined within the village
15:51But events led it to me
15:53Oh
15:54Does it have a name?
15:56It is Yorai
15:57Wow
15:57Is that right?
15:59That's very interesting
16:00Codono blades are said to be effective against demons
16:03One term for cleansing evil spirits
16:05Is Oni Yorai
16:07Which may have inspired the name
16:08Or perhaps the katana was once used to exercise a demonic spirit of local legend
16:13Do you know of any such stories?
16:14I can't say that I have
16:16No one knows if it's true
16:17But the chieftain said it's a mystical weapon
16:19That's remained pristine for over a century
16:22How fascinating
16:23Is there any chance you would unsheathe it for me?
16:25No
16:26Apologies
16:28I've gotten a little too fanatical
16:30I don't mind
16:31However
16:32We really should get started
16:34Of course
16:35As I have already explained to you earlier
16:38My brother
16:39Sadanaga Miura
16:40Has gone missing
16:41But I can't find him
16:43No matter how much I search
16:45Worse yet
16:46Nobody seems to remember who he is
16:48Not a single person?
16:50No
16:50My parents claim
16:51That they've never heard of this sadanaga person
16:54And that I'm the only heir of the family
16:56In addition
16:57Although some people seem to have vague memories
17:00They ultimately tell me the same thing
17:02I'm forced to conclude that nobody actually remembers him
17:06Except for me
17:08I beg your pardon, gentlemen
17:09But if you're gonna talk about serious business like this
17:13I think it's common sense to do it in a private place
17:16Where there are no other people around
17:18Good thing hardly anybody comes here
17:20Your tongue sharper than your sword, pal?
17:24Jokes aside
17:25I picked up the impression the two of you
17:27Were quite concerned for Lord Miura's well-being
17:29Go
17:30That's why I brought him here
17:33Genia
17:37It warms my heart seeing you lighten up enough to start telling us jokes
17:41Whatever
17:43Could you please inform us when your brother disappeared?
17:48Before spring started
17:49At the tail end of January
17:50Nothing seemed out of the ordinary at that point
17:53Until he suddenly
17:55No
17:56I do recall him saying something not too long before that
18:01About going to see a girl
18:03And one more thing
18:07I found some flowers in his room
18:09Flowers?
18:10I'm afraid I don't know enough about plants to say what kind
18:13But they had a strong fragrance
18:15The leaves were narrow
18:17And the flowers were small
18:19With white petals and a yellow center
18:21My brother wasn't really the type to appreciate flowers
18:24So I thought it was strange
18:25When exactly did you find them?
18:28After my brother's disappearance
18:30No one else visited his room except for me
18:32So I imagined he was the one who left them behind
18:35I don't see any alternatives
18:36Are the flowers still in your possession?
18:39I figured they might serve as evidence
18:40So I preserved them before they wilted
18:42Listen
18:45I know it's troublesome
18:47But I would like to visit your house tomorrow
18:49Oh
19:03Hey Genia
19:04Lady Natsu
19:05Natsu
19:07It's good to see you today Genia
19:11The usual
19:12Of course
19:13One order of
19:14Hey
19:14When did you start calling Miss Natsu by her name?
19:18A few days ago at her request
19:20Ofu
19:21You need to step things up a little more
19:23Father
19:24You're embarrassing me
19:25But I must say
19:27You two seem to get along well
19:28Not really
19:29This is nothing special
19:31Ofu
19:32How close are you with Lord Miura?
19:34I've never really thought about it
19:36We aren't especially close to anything of that nature
19:39But we do talk on occasion whenever he swings by
19:42Why so interested?
19:43I was just curious
19:46Looking back on things
19:48He's always been polite and courteous whenever we interact with each other
19:52I find him to be a kind and earnest guy
19:54Wait a moment
19:55Are you talking about that samurai who I bumped into the other day?
19:59Yes
19:59He seems like a very humble and sweet gentleman
20:02But he can get pretty intense whenever this subject to swords comes up
20:06Oh, that's right
20:07Take a look at this beauty
20:13Wow, a kogai?
20:15The Miura family are vassals of the shogun
20:18So it's necessary they have these kinds of tools
20:21Not that it means much
20:22But he gave a gift meant for a samurai to me
20:24What a guy
20:25I swear everything boils down to swords with that young man
20:29Let the guy talk freely
20:31And it's either strictly business or something about katana
20:34I've even heard that his mom chews him out like
20:36Enough is enough, Arimori
20:38So you've had dealings with his mother?
20:41Yes, but only enough to catch a quick glimpse of her
20:44Word is she's a terror
20:46Harps on people regularly from what I hear
20:49With all that said
20:52Would you mind taking this off my hands?
20:55But that was given to you as a gift
20:57I can't accept such a thing
20:58It's alright
20:59There's no sense in the owner of a soba shop having gear like this
21:03Yes, but
21:04I don't really have a need for it anymore
21:07So please
21:08Take it off my hands, okay?
21:16I will hold on to it for you
21:18I appreciate it
21:20Thank you very much
21:21I'm sorry
21:23My dad should know better
21:24Ofu
21:26What is it?
21:27Would the flowers that Lord Miura spoke of
21:29With white petals and a yellow center
21:31Happen to be daffodils?
21:33But he said they were small
21:39I just hope they're anything but that
21:44This is the garden of happiness
21:49The warm and sunny place where I spent my childhood
21:54But
21:56The way back is long gone
22:07I'll be right back to you
22:09I don't know.
22:39I don't know.
23:09I don't know.
23:39I don't know.
