In the battle against the Nokkers attacking the head church of the Church of Bennett,
Fushi loses one vessel after another.
Fushi hones his senses and reclaims Pioran's vessel.
Don't let them take from you the fact that people have bet their lives on you.
Don't forget them!
Fushi begins to spend his days becoming stronger.
Resonance
The more I can make bigger things,
the more I can control entire spaces.
No point in just making a bunch of parts.
How are things in Bisseigh?
Forty-one dead.
The Guardians and the Uralis army, under Kahaku's command,
have defeated three Nokkers and are working on restoration.
Everyone's working hard.
I have to learn to build this ship, too.
In three months...
You want permission to protect us?
Yes, Princess.
How did you come to the conclusion
that they would be attacking the palace city of Renril?
Someone I know can communicate with the Nokkers.
Why didn't you bring them here?
Despite being an important individual, the Church of Bennett declared him a heretic.
I decided it was best to be careful.
Why would the Nokkers tell us in advance, anyway?
They could attack us without warning.
I don't understand, either.
I can only suppose they derive pleasure
from seeing us defend ourselves aggressively.
As though it's a game.
This place is about to become a war zone.
Please evacuate the people from the city and castle.
The Uralis army will then defeat the Nokkers.
You're telling us to vacate Renril and put your army here in its place?
This city is perfectly prepared for the Nokkers.
You mean the moat beyond the castle wall?
That won't protect you from the Nokkers.
I'm told that your father is ill and bedridden,
and your elder brother has not returned from battle.
So...
With all due respect,
if you've come to take control of my land, I will punish you.
I would never do such a thing!
You need awareness.
Awareness that it belongs to you.
Belongs to me?
What do I do with that knowledge?
Are you hungry?
Here. Eat up.
Guess we should take a break, huh?
Let's go look for something good to eat.
Man, this feels good.
The weather's nice, too.
Awesome.
Something smells good.
That way.
It's a town!
There's a town!
Get your money's worth here!
One of these, please.
Are these fruits?
I've never seen any of these things.
They all look so good.
Sir.
Would you like to buy that one?
Yes, of course. I'll buy it.
And this one and that one.
Thank you.
I need to break that habit.
Everyone needs to make a living.
Hay.
I think that's everything I wanted.
Poor people...
They must be starving.
Have these.
Hope you feel better.
You can have this.
Buy something nice.
You aren't fooling me!
I'm not falling for a rich man's games!
Wh-What's wrong with you?
I'm trying to help.
It must feel great, controlling people like that.
Control?
That wasn't my...
Your attention, please! Step right up and take a look!
Is it a new species?
Or is it human?
I've captured one of the fabled clay pot people from a faraway forest!
This pain...
It's from here.
Hey, you! You can't go peeking without permission.
You'd better pay for looking.
That girl's on the verge of death. Please give her treatment.
Say what?
Do you have a problem with my product?
Product?
She's a human!
She can't possibly be well, caged up in here.
Let her out right now.
That's none of your business.
You haven't even paid.
I'll give you money. As much as you want.
But in exchange, give those two to me.
You can't be serious!
You don't know what I had to go through to acquire them.
Why would I give them to you?
Get lost!
We don't have any intention of taking control.
A future in which you resist and survive
must be better than one where you might die.
I know how to resist!
I understand very well what you're saying.
However, I won't relinquish the castle.
Nor the town.
So you won't evacuate?
There is no place that's safe right now.
Renril will protect its own, by itself.
If you can accept that, we will receive you.
We'll fight the Nokkers and protect people together.
We will serve humbly and win your trust.
Come.
I'll take you home.
I'm sorry. I couldn't help him.
He's your brother, right?
I'm going to do everything I can.
Go on. Dig in.
It's good, isn't it?
It's a dish from Uralis.
By the way, what's your name?
Can you not speak?
I get it.
Your brother just died.
Of course you're feeling down.
Do you like animals?
Well? I can do all kinds of stuff.
These are donkeys.
There are chickens, too.
Oh, this one's a cat.
Do you know what a cat is?
'at.
Oh, you can speak?
Not "'at." It's "cat."
Cat.
'at.
Okay, then, why don't I call you "Eko" from now on?
She'll probably need a bath before she gets dressed.
Oh, you're gonna get it now!
Yup. Good, good.
You look nice.
It must feel great, controlling people like that.
There's something I need to do.
You can hang out here.
Control people?
Bullshit.
Did March save me so she could control me?
No, she didn't.
And Tonari?
She was desperate to save her friends.
So was Bon.
He saved countless people at the cost of his own existence.
