Take a look, take a gander!
Why Master, you look as dashing as ever today!
You're such a generous man, using your treasures to pay me back.
Come, please partake!
I've arranged for you to have the most beautiful women and the highest quality wine.
Uh...
Doesn't having to talk like that to me bother you?
Not at all!
It's already been three days.
Where did Aladdin go?
Master Alibaba.
There's a child here to see you.
I missed you, Aladdin!
Why did you use your treasure to free us slaves?
'Cause I figured that's what Aladdin would've done.
Everyone is really grateful to you.
I think I may be grateful too.
To both you and that boy.
What are you going to do now?
Someday, I will return to my homeland.
That is what my benefactor wanted.
His last wish, huh?
You've already made up your mind.
I need to make up my mind too.
I was so happy when he said that to me.
You're no coward.
You're a hero!
Aladdin, I'll search for you, while keeping true to my path.
Let's find each other and go on another adventure together!

Hey...
What exactly am I?
Tell me!
Why won't you say anything?
4th Night
The People of the Plains
Have you awakened, child of the rukh?
You look very refreshed.
The rukh are pleased.
The rukh?
They are flying there.
Granny, you can see them?
That I can.
They are visible to you as well?
Can you see the embodiments of the never-ending flow of life?
What exactly is the rukh?
The rukh is the home of the soul.
All those that are living will eventually pass. When that time comes, they will all return to a single place.
The body returns to the soil, but the soul returns to the rukh.
I'm always being saved by them.
What was that?
When I share the power inside of my stomach,
those particles of light gather,
and lend me their power.
My child! What you say is...
Granny?
What is it, Touya?
The scouting party has returned.
So they have.
Can you see them?
Yes.
Welcome back, Dolge.
Thanks!
Did you get hurt?
Dolge is the one who found you unconscious and brought you back.
I'm fine now.
Thank you, mister.
What did you find in the east?
Another village has been invaded.
Don't worry, Elder.
The Kouga Clan has managed to avoid the greedy hands of other nations for hundreds of years.
We'll slap them away this time too!
For the pride of our clan!
What are you?
Are you a spy from Kou?
There's no way this child is a spy.
I guess that's true.
What's your name?
Where did you come from?
I'm Aladdin.
I was in a town called Qishan. Do you know of it?
I've heard of it.
It's supposedly beyond the western lands and takes about two years to reach by foot.
What? It's that far away?
No need to fret. If you ride with the caravans that will arrive in two weeks, you will be fine.
What?
It will not be such a long trip by caravan.
Thank goodness!
Do you want to go back that badly?
Yes.
I made a promise with a friend, you see.
Everyone's so happy and excited!
We are one big family here.
Everyone here is family?
That they are, my child.
Our people have lived together for hundreds of years. We are of the same blood.
You do not have family.
You are completely different from other people.
You are a singularity.
All one family...
That's nice.
You do not see.
Huh?
The people of the plains are one with all those who share our lives.
You are also family.
You are also one of my beloved children.
I love you, Granny!
"Kou"
This is so delicious!
No, stop! You can't drink that directly from the horse!
She said stop.
Mister, you're mean!
What a weird kid.
It's really nice out today, huh?
Yeah... What's that sword for?
Just in case.
I know what you mean.
I hope that doesn't happen.
I wish we could just live here in peace forever.
Don't worry, Touya.
I'll always protect you.
I've got to stop him!
Aladdin!
Are you all right, young man?
I am the third daughter of the first Kou emperor, Hakuei Ren.
I have come to engage in diplomatic talks with you.
Welcome, esteemed daughter.
I am the granddaughter of the 155th great king of the Kouga Clan.
I am called Shaman Chagan.
I am aware.
The Kouga Clan was once the most prosperous equestrian tribe in the world.
The first great king of the Kouga Clan supposedly had powers rivaling a demon's,
and built the largest nation known to man: the Great Kouga Empire.
In recent years, the Kouga Clan has weakened and has even been targeted by slave hunters.
But today, that suffering is at an end.
Please come under our empire!
Go under them?
What kind of request is that?
No way!
We aspire to unify the land, from Laem in the west to Partevia in the southwest.
Our goal is to unify the whole world.
The same as your Kouga ancestors once dreamed of doing.
Please lend us your strength.
Our ancestors?
Our dreams?
What's the matter, Ugo?
In other words, you want to take over our village.
Isn't that what you mean?
As if we would let outsiders like you in here!
Quiet!
Esteemed daughter, do not be so impatient.
Excuse me.
I've prepared some horse milk spirits. Would you like to continue this conversation inside?
Thank you.
Ryosai!
What do you think you're doing?
I cannot allow the noble princess to drink something like horse milk.
Ryosai!
Listen up, you rabble!
This village is now under the control of the Kou Empire.
You will submit quietly!
We're saving you from this crude, dirty lifestyle, after all.
It's a good deal, no?
Killing this man is the same as a declaration of war.
Is that what you desire?
How dare you hurt my family!
Stop, Dolge.
You will stand down as well, Ryosai.
We are withdrawing.
Why did you stop me?
We had the perfect opportunity to get rid of those Kouga people.
Kou
A
How could you let that slip away?
They are future citizens of the Kou Empire.
We must come up with the best strategy we can.
I believe that is for the best.
I will come up with something by tomorrow morning.
I must somehow get everyone to follow me as a general.
Good evening!
Hello there, miss.
Hi!
I'm Aladdin.
I wanted to talk with you.
That cloth...
I would like to speak to you as well.
That is a Dungeon Item, isn't it?
A device with power beyond human understanding.
They can only be acquired by those who have cleared a dungeon.
This is something that I've always had.
What?
Are you going to take over that village, miss?
If so, I would like you to stop.
Granny will be so sad.
Granny and the others taught me the meaning of family. They're very important to me.
Don't kill them.
I will not kill anyone.
Not a single soul.
I want to create a unified world where no one will have to die needlessly.
I have but good intentions and only want to use my power for good.
Please believe me.
The rukh around you show not even the smallest bit of doubt, miss.
I understand. I will try to talk to Granny and the others.
Ugo, what happened when we first met that lady?
And what were you talking about with Amon in the dungeon?
I see. It's okay!
I know there are things you can't tell me.
I will search the world to my heart's content to figure out who I am.
I have a feeling that I can learn something here in this village.
What's going on?
They will pay!
Let's go!
You are absolutely not to kill anyone.
If you kill even one of them, there will be war.
Do you understand?
I am counting on you!
Please bring them back safely...
What happened, Granny?
What are you...?
Hold on, Touya!
What a great, strong clan.
You're going to make me a rich man for all eternity.
What are you going to do?
She's going to be my breeding horse.
As long as she can have kids, I'll have slaves and therefore riches.
What was that? You don't like my plan?
Of course you do.
Captain!
We have pursuers!
What?
Touya!
Shoot them!
Fire!
Shoot! Fire!
Stay away!
Do not underestimate the Kouga clan.
Stay away!
If you kill even one of them, there will be war.
You bastard!
I've lost them.
We will wait for them here.
But...
They are fine warriors of the Kouga Clan.
Believe in them.
Okay.
Child who can call on the power of the rukh, who can summon a giant,
you are like the Magi of the old tales.
Do you know of the Magi?
That I do.
What is a Magi? Won't you tell me?
I might be a Magi.
I am trying to figure out what I am.
This is a tale from a time when there were no countries.
During a time of calamity and disaster, a young man appeared before the people and said:
Humans, create a country.
Come together and live under a king.
The power to be king may be gained by overcoming the trials of this tower.
Untold numbers went into the tower, never to return.
Finally, one did, and became king.
A country was made and peace reigned.
The people greatly respected the mysterious young man who gave them that prophecy.
They called him the Magi.
The country created in that story is the one we call the Great Kouga Empire.
I see! So that's a Magi...
But Aladdin...
Hm?
You asked what you are.
Right now, you are Aladdin, my child.
Do you have any you call friends?
I do.
Ugo and Alibaba.
Then you are Aladdin, friend of Ugo and Alibaba.
Oh.
Isn't that just the strangest? This old granny knows very well who you are.
Thanks, Granny.
You know what?
What is it, child?
I met with the Kou princess yesterday
and she promised me she would not kill anyone.
So don't worry. There will not be a war.
Everything will be okay!
Y-You...
Look!
They've returned.
Elder!
Everyone's fine!
We were able to rescue everyone without killing a single person!
I remembered your words.
If I killed one of them, we would have a war on our hands.
If that happened, we'd no longer be able to spend our days together.
That's why...
That's why.
Wonderful, Dolge.
Ow!
That hurt, Elder!
We will surrender ourselves to the Kou Empire.
What is it that we absolutely must protect?
Is it our clan?
Our pride?
No.
It is our lives.
No matter what happens, we must not choose war.
Wage war in your hearts instead. Wage a war to live on as a family.
Yes!
It's so warm.
Here.
Thank you.
Time to become a man, Dolge.
Stop making that face, Elder!
Where are you going?
Just to relieve myself!
What caused me to be so disoriented?
My role is simply to keep our family alive.
I must also live on,
until I can see the faces of my beloved children's
great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
I hope Granny gets back soon!

Hey, no fair! I wanted to meet the princess too!
