Now, enough talk.
It's time to cut up the cake!
Now, give us the kid.
You leave me no choice.
You will not have Somali—
Dad! Dad!
Dad!
Get up! Please!
Stop it! Let me go!
Episode 12 Bonded Father and Child
Shut up!
Dad! Dad!
Such a scrawny little neck.
Looks easy to cut through.
What's going on there?
What... What the hell is he doing?
Dad?
Mr. Golem...
Target coordinates acquired.
Internal heat and spirit limit conversion initiated.
The hell is that?
Activate.
Dad...
M-Monster!
Run!
Dad...
W-Wait for me!
What happened to Mr. Golem?
Let's go. We have to stop him!
You didn't tell us this job would be so dangerous!
I didn't know golems were so dangerous, either!
Target acquired.
Commence elimination.
Target acquired.
Forgive me!
I was wrong! I'm sorry! Please!
Stop it, Mr. Golem!
Yabashira!
What do you think you're doing?
What's happened to you?
You can't let her...
You can't let someone you love see you like this!
Yabashira!
Eliminating target.
Somali!
No! Get away from him!
No! I won't!
I don't want you hurting people, Dad!
Somali!
I'll be okay.
Dad's just...
He's just going to
pat me on the head, like always!
So... ma... li.
Dad...
Dad!
Where am I?
Somali.
Dad!
Dad, Dad, Dad!
Somali.
Thank goodness! You're awake!
You didn't move for ages. We were all worried.
What have I... done?
Oh, come on.
Don't tell me you forgot that big show you put on.
The memories remain fragmented.
Did I cause those injuries?
Well... kinda.
It's nothing compared to what you suffered, though.
Forgive me.
Dad... will your arm never grow back?
No.
It doesn't... hurt, does it?
No.
I am sorry for frightening you, Somali.
It's okay.
Here.
Is that...
Give me your hand.
I'm so glad you're okay, Dad!
Left arm and 23% of skin lost.
Significant loss of internal fluids.
Daily life functionality reduced to 76%.
Time remaining...
Time remaining... unknown.
Somali, dear, they went over there!
I got it!
You okay over there?
Forgive me.
Don't push it too hard.
You're still recovering.
Why don't you rest a while?
It is not an issue.
I am inconvenienced, but I will adjust to this body soon.
Dad! Yabashira!
We caught lots of fish!
Hey, great work!
Down the hatch!
Hey, guys, don't wolf it down like that.
But it's so good!
You two...
Somali frequently becomes overstimulated in the presence of food.
I encourage her to exercise caution, and yet...
A blockage already.
Here, drink some water.
Thank you so much!
That's what happens when you eat too fast.
Okay! I'll be more careful!
Shizuno.
I see. You noticed?
Pretty much.
So, how's your condition for now?
Since the incident,
in addition to the damage to my internal systems,
I have noticed irregularities in my hearing and vision.
I feel more frequent limitations in my movement, as well.
At this rate, I will eventually cease functioning.
I see.
There must be something we can do, though.
I mean, you still have time, don't you?
It is unclear.
Since leaving my forest, I have struggled in many ways against the natural order
for the sake of remaining with Somali.
However, there are things that I cannot fight.
That is why I must leave Somali.
Mr. Golem...
No matter what decision you make,
I'll help you in any way I can.
I made a promise, remember?
But I'd like you to think it over again.
Is this really the best decision for both you and Somali?
I can see it!
Somali, pull your hood down low.
Looks like a lively town.
Welcome, little lady.
Dad! There's all kinds of good stuff here!
It appears to be some kind of event.
A golem? There's a rare sight.
Travelers, are you?
Welcome to our harvest festival!
Wow, is it that time already?
Harvest festival?
It's a festival to thank the ancestors for a bountiful harvest.
Oh! So that's what a festival is!
Everyone's got a thing!
Yes, those are wind-rider flowers.
Wind-rider flowers?
Yes, we use them to greet the souls of our ancestors.
Souls?
Yes. They're a bit like... ghosts?
I don't like ghosts!
Ghosts are nothing to be afraid of.
They're the souls of our ancestors.
Yes, they're our dear departed families.
See?
That's a perfect breeze.
If you send a wind-rider flower flying just right,
the light will guide the spirit of a dead mother
or father to return to us.
I think I get it.
Did you know that, Dad?
An incomprehensible practice.
All creatures return to the earth upon their deaths.
There are no ghosts, and no souls.
That is the natural order.
Oh, really?
Grandpa!
What is it, Chi?
Buy me a toy!
Come on, hurry!
I suppose I'd better. It's a special day, after all.
Can't say no to the grandson!
What should we get?
Our time will come, too, in the not-so-distant future.
But you know, Mr. Golem...
We all believe the same thing.
Death is not the end.
After death, we become souls
that can return to our dear families again.
I find your wish pointless.
Yum!
Wow! Looks so good!
Shopkeep. One, please.
Sure thing.
How come?
You usually say no to me eating lots of good stuff!
This is a festival. A special day.
Wow! Festivals are cool!
Is there anything else you desire?
Meat, or sugar candy?
What is it?
You're overprotective, Dad.
Am I?
You are!
Hey, got a tasty treat, huh?
Dad bought it for me!
Don't eat too much sweet stuff,
or you'll get a cavity!
Hey, looks like a show.
So cool!
What's wrong?
Upsy-daisy.
Here we go.
Can you see?
Yeah!
Thanks, Yabashira!
Yabashira! Me too, me too!
Oh, please! You're an adult!
Aw, no fair!
Whoa, so cool!
Isn't this fun, Da—Huh?
What is it?
Dad's not there.
Doubt he'd get lost, as big as he is...
Mr. Golem...
Is this your decision?
Huh? What do you mean?
I don't think Mr. Golem is ever coming back.
Is that some kind of joke?
It's not funny.
He's been agonizing for a long time
over how to use the time he has left.
Still, he wouldn't just leave her and run off!
I wanted to stop him! But...
Hey!
Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad!
Dad!
Somali.
Dad...
Stop.
You are forbidden from coming any closer.
Why?
I can no longer continue to journey with you.
How come?
Is it because I ate all that candy?
No.
Then is it because I play around and don't listen?
No.
Then... is it because you don't like me anymore?
It is not.
Then why?!
Dad! No! I don't want this!
You promised! You promised we'd be together forever!
Dad! Did you hear me?!
Somali. Release me, Somali.
You gotta stay with me forever, Dad!
Even when the journey's over, even when I grow up,
you gotta stay!
Somali!
If I lose control again, I may place you in danger.
That is why it is better for you if we part ways now.
No! You don't get it at all!
Because... I'll be lonely without you.
Won't you be lonely without me?
Golems lack emotions.
Do not!
You have them!
You get all upset when I go missing the minute you look away.
You get worried when I catch a cold or get hurt.
Sometimes you act really strict
because you don't want me to be in danger.
When I sleep, you stay by my side,
because you don't want me to get lonely.
You always hold my hand
so that I can always be with you.
I know... that you're actually really nice.
Because...
you're my dad.
I, too...
have emotions
and a heart.
Somali.
Dad?
I...
I wish to remain with you, Somali.
As your father.
Even if I must struggle against everything in this world.
Dad...
That is my one and only wish,
Somali.
Stay with me forever, Dad.
Yes.
Together, forever.
For every additional minute, every second I can.
Even if I am reduced to a soul.
For all eternity.
