Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles (2021) s02e01 Episode Script

♪
[MIHARU] Please stay!
Don't leave me alone!
[RIO] This is Miharu.
She was Haruto's
childhood friend.
They lived in apartments
next to each other.
And in those days, they were
practically inseparable.
Until Haruto's parents divorced
and he had to move away.
When I grow up, I promise
I'm gonna come back for you!
[RIO] Because of all the time
they spent together
they were already very close.
[HARUTO (CHILD)] And when I do,
let's get married!
[RIO] And held a special place
in each other's hearts.
[HARUTO (CHILD)]
Even after I die!
I say I do!
Of course, I'll get
married to you, Haruto!
[RIO]
And soa promise was made.

Education became
his top priority.
His goal was to get into
the famous school back home
where he and Miharu grew up.
So he worked diligently
to make it happen.
[crowd cheering]
[HARUTO] I don't have time
for extracurriculars.
I pushed my father to let me
come back here, but at a price.
I have to work to pay
for my own living expenses.
[gasps]
Miharu?
-[TAKAHISA] Hey, Miharu!
-Hey, Takahisa!
-Sorry I'm late!
-Don't worry!
You're not late,
I just got here too.
Really?
Well, let's get going!
Great, I fall behind
and there he goes.
[gasps]
Oh, boy, looks like
Takahisa has forgotten
he came here with me.
Hey, you know that's not true!
How could I ever
forget you, Satsuki?
When you spotted Miharu,
you ran so fast
I thought there was a fire.
You haven't changed one bit
since middle-school, huh?
[chuckles]
Well, we should go,
we're keeping Aki
and Masato waiting.

[birds chirping]

Hm?
Ah, hey, big brother!
Aki!
Satsuki, it's been a while!
Yeah, we haven't seen you
Where have you been?
Wow, look at you,
you've both grown so much!
And you've grown
even more beautiful too,
I gotta say.
[laughs]
Oh, Masato, you always say
the nicest things to me!
Okay, as your senior, I'd like
to do something special.
Miharu and Takahisa
have both entered high school.
Little Aki is now
a middle-schooler.
And Masato has moved up
to sixth grade,
so I have a proposition
for you all.
Let's go and celebrate!
-It's on me!
-Yes, that's awesome, Satsuki!
You're like, the coolest person
in the world!
Would you try and show at least
some restraint, please?

Aishia.
I think I've saved the people
you were talking about.
Let's meet up before sundown.
Can you tell where I am?
[AISHIA]
Yes, I can.
I'll bring Celia with me.
[RIO]
Thank you.
[AKI]
It's beautiful!
[crickets chirping]
Um, I'm sorry,
but, can I speak to you
for a moment, please?
Sure, what is it?
I just wanted to tell you
how grateful I am
that you got us
out of that mess.
If you hadn't shown up
when you did,
I'm scared to think about
where we'd be right now.
[chuckles]
It's fine.
I only did
what needed to be done.
By the way, I have a question.
Question for me?
Uh, I mean
[sighs]
Oh, yeah, sorry,
my name is Miharu Ayase.
And if you don't mind,
may I ask what your name is?
My name?
It's, uh
Right now I'm going by Haruto,
for reasons that are
kind of hard to explain.
I don't have a last name.
Haruto?
[AKI]
Haruto?
-[MIHARU] Hey, Aki.
-Hah?
Aki?
[RIO] Haruto had a sister
that was three years
younger than him.
He never saw her again
after that day.
-When he said it, I couldn't
-[RIO] Is this her?
There is a certain
resemblance, for sure.
I mean,
Miharu did call her Aki.
Seems pretty conclusive
if you ask me.
Hey, uh, is something wrong?
[chuckles]
Oh, no, everything's fine.
Your reaction to my name
made me think I offended you.
[AKI] Oh, I'm sorry.
It's nothing like that.
[MASATO]
Hey, Mister Haruto.
What did you mean when you said
you don't have a last name?
Oh, I'm Masato Sendo.
This is my big sister Aki.
[RIO] Haruto Amakawa
didn't have a younger brother,
and this kid clearly
has a different last name.
If he's Aki's little brother,
and she's Haruto's sister.
perhaps Haruto's mother
remarried?
Your sister, huh?
So, then your full name
must be Aki Sendo, right?
Oh, yes, that's my name!
[AKI] Sorry I didn't
introduce myself yet.
Don't be!
Now, as for why
I don't have a last name.
Looks like
the sun's about to set.
Before we dive into my history,
let's find some shelter.
This isn't a good place
to stop.
Follow me, please.

Aishia,
what did you do to them?
What? But how?
Wait, I understood her.
I formed a temporary path
between you two.
For the time being, I will
serve as your interpreter.
Is that true?
I had no idea
you could do that.
It's only because
you understand both languages.
If you didn't, then I couldn't.
Oh, I see.
Haruto, I really need to eat.
Food, yes!
Good call!
We'd better get inside,
it's getting late.
[MIHARU]
Wow! It's lovely!
[CELIA]
It's so big!
Yeah, it is.
Big enough to have a bath,
which you are all
more than welcome to use.
There's a bath in here, too?
Heck, yeah!
Calm yourself!
You're way too amped up!
[all chuckle]
♪
[water splattering]
[water trickling]
You're saying
Haruto's not his name.
It's actually Rio.
And then,
if I understood you correctly,
you said Aishia
is Rio's bond spirit?
Yeah, that's what they told me.
You see, I only just met
Aishia today myself.
What we've discussed
is pretty much all I know!
[AKI]
Sorry to butt in.
If you don't mind me asking,
what are you discussing?
She was telling me that
Aishia isn't human,
but rather, a spirit.
[AKI]
What? A spirit?
So that's how she's able to do
that magical
translation stuff with us!
Oh, yeah,
you're probably right!
[crickets chirping]
[MASATO]
So, what you're saying is
we got teleported to some
kind of fantasy RPG world?
I didn't really play many games
like that in my last life,
so, I can't say for sure.
[RIO] But if I had to guess,
that sounds right.
It's just that, unlike a game,
there's no reset button here.
Oh, for real?
So, like,
if you hadn't shown up,
it would have ended
much worse for us.
That's right.
You guys would have become
those bandits' slaves.
Oh, my gosh.
[MIHARU] Thanks for letting us
use your bath, Haruto!
It was wonderful!
[RIO] Well, I'm glad
you enjoyed yourselves!
[CELIA]
Rio.
I've never been in a bath
like that before,
and it felt amazing!
Plus, with the other girls
there, I had a lot of fun, too!
Why don't you go take one?
[RIO]
Not now.
I'll take one after we eat.
♪
Those clothes.
Oh, Aki kindly
let me borrow them!
She said it would be weird
to change back
into a dirty wedding dress
after a nice bath.
Ah, I see.
And you know what else?
I was surprised to see
how flexible they were,
and they feel super soft
against my skin!
I've never seen
fabric like this!
And they're clean!
I just bought them
for the first day of school.
I assumed they would be
more comfy than her big dress.
[RIO]
That's very kind of you!
And she says she's already
quite fond of them, too!
Since you gave her
your extra clothes,
you won't have
anything else to wear, right?
I'll tell you what.
Let's go buy you
some necessities tomorrow!
We would,
but here in your world,
we have no money.
Don't worry about that!
I'd be happy to cover the cost
of some everyday items for you.
Well, that's a nice thought but
where will you go to buy them?
I was thinking
Amande would be good.
Oh, Amande!
Do you think we could exchange
my wedding dress
for some money
while we're out there?
Believe me when I say you don't
need to worry about money
while you're with me.
I can promise you that.
Anyone hungry?
Food's on the table!
[CELIA]
Yes, I am!
Wow!
Rio, did you
make this yourself?
Yes.
Now, let's eat!
The food's getting cold.
♪
Now I understand.
After piecing together
each of your accounts,
it sounds like
you all got caught up
in the summoning phenomenon.
That's likely what
transported you to this world.
I see.
Do you think there's
any possible way for us
to get back to our world?
I'd be lying if I said I knew.
People from Earth have been
reborn into this world,
but this is a new situation.
You said you died
in a bus accident
as a university student
on Earth.
Then, when you were growing up
as a child in this world,
your memories started coming
back to you, is that right?
Correct.
Which is why I don't think
my experience
will be much help with this.
Rio, is it all right
if I say something too?
Sure, of course.
After hearing
each of your stories,
it really got me thinking,
those six pillars
of light we saw.
And also,
the other events of this year
One-Thousand of the Holy Era.
I think it's true!
This must have to do with the
legend of the Six Wise Gods!
You know, the thought had
crossed my mind.
A thousand years after
the Divine-Demon War,
six sacred stones
will emanate different colors,
and pillars of their light
will soar into the heavens.
[RIO] Heroes clad in powerful,
divine raiment
will return
from outside of Strahl.
And in place
of the six wisest Gods,
they shall lead
all of humanity.
♪
But stillI can't imagine
that the people in this room
are the same as foretold
in the legends.
You know what I mean, Celia?
Yeah, I do.
And I think you're right.
-Excuse me.
-[RIO] Huh?
Before we were transported
to this place,
we were with some other people.
Our friends' names
are Satsuki and Takahisa.
Do you think they came
to this world too?
I can't say for sure.
I think there's a possibility,
but only time will tell.
[MIHARU]
Yeah, that makes sense.
You're worried about them,
aren't you Miharu?
Yes.
We were so fortunate
you showed up to rescue us,
and I'm grateful,
don't get me wrong,
but if our friends are here,
our understanding
of what's normal back home
will do nothing to help them
in this world.
[yawns]
Ah?
[CELIA]
I'm sleepy, bedtime.
Right now.
Hey, wait!
[RIO]
Hang on a second, Aishia!
I'm fading fast.
I've used far too much
power today and I'm done.
[gasping]
Hey, hands off!
Just what do you two think
you're doing?
I'm replenishing my magic.
No, no, no!
You shouldn't be doing that,
it isn't right!
Oh, why's that?
[CELIA]
Why?
Because
I always do this,
sleep with Haruto.
[CELIA] [whimpering]
What?
There's a reason she does.
It's not what it sounds like.
[AISHIA] Haruto,
I need to go to bed.
Hang on, stop right there!
Because Rio hasn't
He hasn't taken
his nightly bath!
[RIO]
That's what she's upset about?
Uh, guys.
Don't worry about cleaning up,
we'll take care
of all the dishes.
Really, it's fine.
Come on, Masato,
put all that energy to use!
Oh, right.
It's all right, guys.
You don't have
to worry about it.
But what about me?
