Utawarerumono (うたわれるもの)

It's hot...

Burning...

My body...

My throat...

Burning!

It's all right now.

Just relax and sleep.

Who are you?

You mustn't move around just yet.

You're still in pain, aren't you?

Who are you?

My name's Eluluu.

Eluluu?

And this is my house.

What happened to me?

Well, I found you collapsed in the forest.

You had terrible injuries when I found you.

Injuries?

Ah, well, you'll be all right now.

You're through the worst of it, that's what Grandma says.

Are you the one who saved me?

I...

I...

Yes?

I do not know myself.

You don't know...

Tell me!

Uh, well...

Who in the world am I?

I let my childhood dreams

Flow freely out

In scribbles that don't fade

And they connect to the future I conceive

Utawarerumono And they connect to the future I conceive

Utawarerumono

The clear sky, endlessly blue

Captivates me, my heart is filled with innocence

I'll soon gain wings

That will let me fly freely about

My innocent eyes go on searching

I want to go beyond the sky

Of all my endless wishes

If only one of them comes true

I don't want to give it up to anyone

I'd like to grasp my dream

My childhood dreams

Forever continued to be drawn out

In scribbles that don't fade

They connect to a future I wish for

The Uninvited

Why won't it come off?

What is it for?

Looks like you've come to.

What? Don't you have anything to say to the one who saved your life?

Grandma, he's...

Yes, I know. Don't you worry, Eluluu.

Who in the world am I?

I'd like to know the answer myself.

And this mask...

Well, if it doesn't come off, that's how it is.

All I'll say is that there's probably some reason.

For now, you should just take it easy and focus on getting yourself back into shape.

Well...

I made some rice porridge for you, mororo porridge.

Mororo?

You need to get a little nutrition in you.

Oh, right.

Thank you.

It's nothing. I'm a healer's apprentice, so it's only natural...

Here now, it's going to get cold.

Actually, I guess it still is kinda hot.

Those are my son's old clothes, but it looks like they fit you just right.

Eluluu...

That's great! A perfect fit!

So, do you mean to go out and about then?

Yes, I can't allow myself to be in your care forever.

But it might be better if you get some more rest.

You go along with him, Eluluu.

Huh?!

We can't have him collapsing again while he's out. Now, can we?

Grandma...

Keep a good eye on him.

Grandma!

All right?

Right!

Oh, come on, Aruruu. You'll have to introduce yourself!

Well, this is my little sister, Aruruu.

Hey...

Wrong! Hey...

Wrong!

It seems there has been some sort of misunderstanding.

I think she was surprised when she saw you wearing our father's clothes.

Now that you mention it, I have not seen him yet.

Our father passed away.

Our mother did too, shortly after giving birth to Aruruu.

Then you cannot lend me something so important to you!

No, it's all right. Don't worry.

It happened back when we were both very little.

I appreciate you lending me your shoulder, but this is only going to tire you out.

I'll be all right. Country women are strong after all.

What's that?

Say, is something...

No!

Are you all right?!

Well, I can see that country women certainly are strong.

That's what happens when you grab a girl's tail like that all of a sudden!

So that thing is real?

What do you mean?

Teoro!

So you're the one?

The weird guy who was carried to the village chief's house?

Weird?

It's true! You got a weird mask there, dontcha'?

Man, I sure am sorry about that!

We don't get many visitors out here other than soldiers fleeing battle.

You get people fleeing battle here?

Every now and then, yeah.

It's 'cuz this place is more peaceful than other parts.

So we'll see 'em come running once in a while.

It's just a tiny village with nothing going on really,

but we still enjoy our lives in our own way.

It seems like there are quite a few houses undergoing repairs.

Yeah, there was this huge earthquake the other day.

Earthquake?

Aruruu didn't come home right after that, and Eluluu raised havoc.

Oh, good grief! Everything turned out okay, so what's the big deal?

That's for sure!

An earthquake...

What's wrong?

Oh, nothing...

Hey, you!

Honey!

Slacking off again when you should be on the job!

Hey, I already worked until sunrise, didn't I?

Isn't that enough?

Don't you give me that self-centered talk.

Yer gonna rip it off! I'm sorry! Don't you give me that self-centered talk.

Yer gonna rip it off! I'm sorry! Sopoku!

Yer gonna rip it off! I'm sorry! Huh? Oh!

My, my...

You must be the strange man that's been staying at Eluluu's house.

Good grief, not you too, Sopoku!

This is pretty aggressive for a late bloomer like you, Eluluu.

Huh?

Well, you see he's injured, so I... I...

That's a relief.

I see how it is.

Well, I don't really know if you're a nice guy or not,

but please take good care of Ellulu for us, all right?

Sopoku!

Oh, hey there!

Hey! Oh, hey there!

Hey!

Hiya!

Hurry, hurry!

Wait up!

Hey, you! Stop right...

Are you all right? Do you feel any pain?

I'm just a little tired, that's all.

It's because I made you to overdo it.

I'm the one who said I wanted to go out.

It is not your fault at all.

But...

It's okay. Thank you.

We'll go back to the house after you've had a rest.

All right.

What's the matter?

You rest here. I'll be right back.

Listen up!

You are now going to offer up your yearly tribute to us.
