00:04.510 --> 00:09.550
<i>This is a story of ancient Greece, 
when gods still walked the earth.</i>

00:10.330 --> 00:14.690
<i>Among the rough and rowdy centaurs, 
there was one who was a sage.</i>

00:15.410 --> 00:17.470
<i>His name was Chiron.</i>

00:17.470 --> 00:21.770
<i>He was the child of the god of time, 
Cronus, and the Oceanid Philyra.</i>

00:22.880 --> 00:26.700
<i>When he was young, 
he lost the love of his parents.</i>

00:27.400 --> 00:28.910
<i>The Oceanid Philyra</i>

00:28.910 --> 00:32.210
<i>and his father, Cronus, took the form 
of horses to consummate their love,</i>

00:32.210 --> 00:35.660
<i>but his father cried out that his wife, Rhea, 
had discovered them and darted away.</i>

00:36.310 --> 00:41.530
<i>Philyra lamented the half-human, 
half-horse form he was born with,</i>

00:41.530 --> 00:46.000
<i>and in her grief, she took 
on the form of a linden tree.</i>

00:47.030 --> 00:51.670
<i>The ones who raised him were 
the god of the arts, Apollo,</i>

00:51.670 --> 00:54.070
<i>and the moon goddess, Artemis.</i>

00:54.070 --> 00:58.280
<i>Music, medicine, prophecy, hunting...</i>

00:58.790 --> 01:01.590
<i>His days were filled with learning and love.</i>

01:02.290 --> 01:05.460
<i>Chiron was raised to be kind and noble,</i>

01:05.460 --> 01:08.420
<i>so, just as the two gods 
who raised him did for him,</i>

01:08.420 --> 01:12.630
<i>he gained children's trust 
and nurtured many students.</i>

01:13.200 --> 01:16.250
<i>But fate is cruel.</i>

01:18.650 --> 01:22.070
<i>In an unforeseen accident, 
one of his students,</i>

01:22.070 --> 01:26.330
<i>the future hero, Heracles, 
shot him with a poisoned arrow.</i>

01:27.190 --> 01:30.940
<i>Chiron couldn't bear the unending pain,</i>

01:31.240 --> 01:33.950
<i>so he gave up the immortality of the gods</i>

01:33.950 --> 01:38.280
<i>and accepted a peaceful death.</i>

01:42.180 --> 01:44.400
<i>So that he would never be forgotten,</i>

01:44.400 --> 01:49.680
<i>the omniscient, omnipotent Zeus 
turned him into stars in the night sky:</i>

01:49.680 --> 01:50.890
<i>the constellation Sagittarius.</i>

02:09.060 --> 02:13.570
It feels like this starry sky 
exists just for the two of us.

02:17.180 --> 02:18.190
Hey.

02:19.430 --> 02:20.950
Something's shining over there.

02:20.950 --> 02:21.950
What?

02:22.410 --> 02:24.480
Over there. In the woods.

02:26.260 --> 02:28.090
Perhaps a flustered star has—

02:56.800 --> 02:58.550
Mission complete.

03:00.020 --> 03:04.390
As expected from the super sniper
Danica-sama, right, Chetana?

03:04.690 --> 03:06.920
You have it all wrong, Danica.

03:06.920 --> 03:10.360
You mean it's all thanks to 
super spotter Chetana, don't you?

03:10.360 --> 03:13.350
Yes, yes. You could say that, too.

03:13.350 --> 03:17.300
Crosswind: two meters. Distance: 845 meters.

03:17.300 --> 03:18.780
Right on the money.

03:18.780 --> 03:21.150
Clean up, and make it quick.

03:21.150 --> 03:22.490
Yes, yes.

03:24.780 --> 03:28.080
Hey, what kind of people were today's targets?

03:28.660 --> 03:31.460
On one hand, a famous, 
wealthy husband and wife.

03:31.990 --> 03:35.210
They even participated in 
charitable works for orphans of war.

03:36.710 --> 03:37.380
But...

03:39.750 --> 03:42.930
behind that front, they were 
brokers for human trafficking.

03:43.590 --> 03:46.630
Indicating the number of 
children you were purchasing

03:46.630 --> 03:49.830
by symbolically ordering drinks was 
the rule at their charity parties.

03:51.480 --> 03:57.400
But even people who are usually very cautious 
need to conduct negotiations in business.

03:58.500 --> 04:00.680
Danica, are you listening?

04:01.120 --> 04:02.340
Yeah, I'm listening!

04:02.720 --> 04:05.580
That's a request negotiation pro for you.

04:05.580 --> 04:09.790
No stone unburned... Unturned! 
In your prep research!

04:10.060 --> 04:12.230
Super spotter-sama.

04:12.230 --> 04:14.970
Super agent-sama-sama.

04:14.970 --> 04:17.590
My Chetana-sama-sama-sama!

04:18.790 --> 04:20.090
I love you!

04:22.790 --> 04:23.890
Hey, look!

04:26.550 --> 04:27.580
Sagittarius.

04:28.310 --> 04:33.680
Yeah. It's a clear, moonless night, 
so it's easy to see.

04:37.510 --> 04:40.610
All right. Should we head to the hotel?

04:42.500 --> 04:43.720
What now?

04:43.720 --> 04:48.500
Nothing, just... If you only pay attention 
to the words, it sounds sort of lewd.

04:48.930 --> 04:52.210
Yes, yes. Just hurry up and get in.

04:57.000 --> 04:59.040
<i>There are only seven days left now.</i>

04:59.040 --> 05:03.180
<i>All over the country, astronomy fans are 
waiting for the Perseid meteor shower.</i>

05:03.820 --> 05:06.470
<i>The shower will hit its peak late that night,</i>

05:06.470 --> 05:11.270
<i>with the meteors expected to be 
most prolific just before dawn.</i>

05:07.950 --> 05:10.590
Hey, do you think we'll be 
able to see the meteor shower?

05:11.270 --> 05:12.670
That's pretty much impossible.

05:12.670 --> 05:17.330
<i>However, with a low-pressure system 
moving in, rain is in the forecast that day.</i>

05:17.330 --> 05:18.700
<i>It's a shame.</i>

05:18.700 --> 05:21.440
Man, you've gotta be kidding me!

05:23.490 --> 05:26.990
<b>Not human; like a monster</b>

05:23.490 --> 05:26.990
<b>Lacking human kindness or weakness</b>

05:23.490 --> 05:26.990
<b>Ruthless; cruel</b>

05:23.490 --> 05:26.990
<b>Inhuman</b>

07:00.000 --> 07:05.010
<b>Another Sky 1</b>

07:14.650 --> 07:16.700
Good evening, Chetana-sama.

07:17.310 --> 07:19.810
Good evening. How long has it been?

07:19.810 --> 07:22.870
It has been four months and twenty-two days.

07:22.870 --> 07:26.080
Now, if you could sign here to check in, please.

07:26.080 --> 07:26.900
There.

07:27.550 --> 07:28.920
Thank you.

07:29.300 --> 07:31.040
Do your weapons require maintenance?

07:31.040 --> 07:34.560
Danica's rifle needs servicing, 
and so does her back-up.

07:35.010 --> 07:36.290
Of course.

07:36.730 --> 07:38.540
Oh, that reminds me...

07:38.860 --> 07:44.300
Speaking of rifles, the Asian Falcon 
seems to be actively buying up weapons.

07:44.300 --> 07:45.740
Please rest assured.

07:45.740 --> 07:48.900
The import and export of weapons 
is a cornerstone of this world.

07:48.900 --> 07:51.680
We are already prepared 
in the event of terrorism.

07:51.680 --> 07:56.520
This time, the beat of the Falcon's wings 
is localized and much too fast.

07:56.520 --> 07:57.770
What do you think of that?

07:58.100 --> 07:59.460
It's a distraction.

07:59.770 --> 08:01.740
Behind the stalling of government troops,

08:00.670 --> 08:02.690
This is the same as it always is.

08:01.740 --> 08:05.280
human trafficking in South Asia with the Four 
Beasts' Group looks to be the true objective.

08:03.380 --> 08:05.280
The same as always, indeed.

08:05.280 --> 08:07.220
I believe there is no question of that.

08:07.220 --> 08:08.280
I see.

08:08.600 --> 08:11.080
That's just a hobby of Chetana's.

08:08.600 --> 08:12.540
Then the Falcon's push for national liberation 
is now only in name and not substance.

08:11.470 --> 08:14.120
She says she loves seeing 
a job done so perfectly.

08:12.540 --> 08:15.430
After exchanging goals and methods 
for the stability of the organization,

08:14.910 --> 08:18.120
According to master sleuth 
Danica-chan's deductions...

08:15.430 --> 08:16.990
they've met with a string of failures.

08:17.670 --> 08:20.690
And now they've fallen so far 
as to sell out their comrades.

08:24.390 --> 08:27.840
It looks like she chooses this hotel 
because Sara-chan is here.

08:31.430 --> 08:33.500
In that case, master sleuth,

08:33.500 --> 08:36.810
shall we partake of our usual course, as well?

08:47.730 --> 08:51.820
The library here is as impressive as ever.

08:52.080 --> 08:55.420
Providing all the outer trappings, 
such as attire and weapons, is a given.

08:55.790 --> 08:59.840
But providing the finest guests 
with the finest knowledge

08:59.840 --> 09:01.250
is what makes our hotel great.

09:01.850 --> 09:03.370
Head Librarian Siu.

09:04.810 --> 09:07.920
Danica-sama, here is your usual volume.

09:07.920 --> 09:12.400
I've taken the liberty of choosing 
several other recommendations, as well.

09:12.400 --> 09:14.720
Wow! That's so you.

09:15.230 --> 09:16.810
Oh, Ikuro-san.

09:17.110 --> 09:21.240
May I ask you to deliver the items 
that Chetana-sama reserved, as well?

09:21.240 --> 09:22.390
Of course.

09:22.390 --> 09:25.740
Today will be... eenie, meenie...

09:25.740 --> 09:27.230
There you are.

09:27.670 --> 09:28.710
Danica!

09:28.710 --> 09:31.200
Hate to bother. We had an offer come in.

09:31.200 --> 09:32.850
Say what?!

09:33.450 --> 09:36.360
Don't you think we've been 
working too much lately?

09:36.360 --> 09:40.160
We just finished a job! Let's relax a little!

09:40.590 --> 09:44.850
You don't get to talk like that. 
You're popular, you know.

09:47.340 --> 09:50.860
Every good contract killer 
needs a good agent. Right?

09:51.350 --> 09:52.800
Just leave it to me.

09:53.930 --> 09:55.010
Wait, Chetana.

09:56.630 --> 09:57.970
Thanks.

09:59.520 --> 10:01.980
I'm alive thanks to you.

10:05.130 --> 10:09.310
Then again, you're alive thanks to me, too!

10:09.860 --> 10:11.440
I'm going. I'll be back.

10:13.570 --> 10:14.570
Thank you.

10:19.110 --> 10:21.940
<i>Just one more, the last, and yet...</i>

10:24.220 --> 10:27.640
And for the number of targets today, two stars.

10:28.030 --> 10:29.710
Thank you, Doctor.

10:30.060 --> 10:32.910
It truly is beautiful.

10:32.910 --> 10:35.040
You'd never guess it from your looks,

10:35.040 --> 10:38.690
but every aspect of your body 
is thoroughly honed and lithe.

10:38.690 --> 10:40.730
I'd love to dissect it one day.

10:41.390 --> 10:44.230
Doctor! You're seriously 
hilarious, you know that?

10:44.760 --> 10:45.850
Thank you.

10:47.700 --> 10:50.400
Hey, keep going! Read the rest!

10:50.400 --> 10:52.680
Right! I'm sorry.

10:55.490 --> 11:00.180
"This is a story of ancient Greece, 
when gods still walked the earth."

11:01.270 --> 11:05.640
"Among the rough and rowdy centaurs, 
there was one who was a sage."

11:06.400 --> 11:08.330
"His name was Chiron."

11:08.330 --> 11:12.430
"He was the child of the god of time, 
Cronus, and the Oceanid Philyra."

11:20.280 --> 11:22.450
"So that he would never be forgotten,

11:22.450 --> 11:27.260
the omniscient, omnipotent Zeus 
turned him into stars in the night sky:

11:27.260 --> 11:28.650
the constellation Sagittarius."

11:34.770 --> 11:39.110
"He lost love, was showered 
with love, bestowed love...

11:39.110 --> 11:42.600
and then was buried in the 
night sky—the sage Chiron."

11:43.070 --> 11:46.350
"His student Heracles 
was overcome with regret."

11:46.350 --> 11:50.480
"What did he think of him? 
What would he have said to him?"

11:52.870 --> 11:56.460
"Rage? Resentment?"

11:57.410 --> 11:58.700
"Or perhaps..."

12:00.550 --> 12:06.440
"This is a tale of ancient Greece, when gods 
who were just like humans walked the earth."

12:09.870 --> 12:13.400
Danica-sama, you really do 
love this story, don't you?

12:14.510 --> 12:16.270
I don't know about that.

12:16.270 --> 12:17.040
Huh?

12:18.120 --> 12:20.410
The last part bothers me, you know?

12:20.700 --> 12:23.770
Music and medicine and prophecy, was it?

12:23.770 --> 12:25.480
And hunting, too, right?

12:26.070 --> 12:30.990
A god who could do anything... 
and what they were thinking at the end.

12:31.610 --> 12:33.880
What could it have been besides resentment?

12:36.250 --> 12:38.680
Just one more and this'll be done.

12:39.720 --> 12:43.370
You know, I'm an idiot, so I forget right away.

12:43.370 --> 12:45.220
So it's all carved into me right there.

12:45.220 --> 12:48.840
Unlike Chiron, all I know is hunting.

12:51.490 --> 12:56.020
Because Chetana's around, 
I finally managed to live, you know?

12:59.200 --> 13:02.160
She must be very dear to you.

13:02.160 --> 13:03.990
Oh, you.

13:05.670 --> 13:07.570
But it's funny, you know?

13:07.570 --> 13:08.290
Huh?

13:09.070 --> 13:14.040
Because in the beginning, 
I was trying to kill Chetana.

13:19.290 --> 13:21.050
<i>Hotel Inhumans.</i>

13:22.830 --> 13:25.300
My oldest memory is...

13:31.830 --> 13:34.690
the warmth and smell of blood 
raining down on my face.

13:34.690 --> 13:39.160
I think my name that day 
was Annie... or maybe Laika.

13:39.710 --> 13:41.010
I forgot.

13:42.220 --> 13:44.950
My targets were the people who'd buy me.

13:44.950 --> 13:47.390
Like, wealthy people who 
wanted children as slaves.

13:47.390 --> 13:51.410
I'd get rich people who wanted toys to buy me...

13:51.410 --> 13:52.540
then kill them.

13:53.190 --> 13:54.370
Kill...

13:56.410 --> 13:57.500
and kill...

14:00.230 --> 14:02.720
and kill... and kill...

14:05.590 --> 14:06.750
and kill...

14:08.720 --> 14:11.240
My whole world was that, over and over.

14:14.630 --> 14:16.940
And in the middle of that dark, 
gray repetition...

14:18.010 --> 14:20.050
that night arrived.

14:33.440 --> 14:36.870
The person who attacked me was someone 
I recognized from the same organization as me.

14:37.590 --> 14:42.010
They were supposed to set me up as 
the culprit behind a string of killings.

14:42.010 --> 14:45.590
I didn't find that out 
until a little later, though.

14:46.460 --> 14:49.220
But even an idiot like me 
could tell I'd been betrayed.

14:51.410 --> 14:52.660
<i>So that's it.</i>

14:53.480 --> 14:54.830
<i>I get it.</i>

14:55.940 --> 14:57.690
<i>In the end, I'm also just...</i>

15:01.700 --> 15:04.690
So... are you an assassin, too?

15:11.990 --> 15:15.660
A maid, huh? The rule is to get 
rid of anyone who's seen me.

15:18.080 --> 15:20.140
Bad luck, huh?

15:20.880 --> 15:22.100
I'll kill you now.

15:23.510 --> 15:24.820
Thank you.

15:37.100 --> 15:38.230
We're the same.

15:43.410 --> 15:46.650
I'm a disposable slave, too.

15:49.170 --> 15:51.190
She failed to get rid of her?

15:51.190 --> 15:52.160
Find them!

15:56.880 --> 16:00.440
Crap. They've got the exits covered.

16:03.910 --> 16:05.650
What a pain.

16:05.650 --> 16:07.080
I guess I'm done.

16:07.560 --> 16:08.770
No.

16:08.770 --> 16:09.680
Huh?

16:10.940 --> 16:15.600
Here, in the room below us, there's a 
hidden door that leads to the back exit.

16:15.870 --> 16:16.890
Huh?

16:19.430 --> 16:21.400
Let's live.

16:30.210 --> 16:31.290
I...

16:32.660 --> 16:36.370
I will dirty my hands alongside you!

16:51.510 --> 16:55.160
As we escaped through 
the pitch-dark back paths,

16:55.160 --> 16:57.280
we looked up at the night sky...

16:57.280 --> 17:00.300
and there were so many lights flashing by.

17:01.770 --> 17:05.690
It was something called 
the Perseid meteor shower.

17:06.390 --> 17:09.630
She... Chetana told me so later.

17:12.550 --> 17:15.120
Chetana knew all kinds of things.

17:16.310 --> 17:17.490
Danica?

17:17.810 --> 17:21.450
That's right. 
It's a word from where I was born.

17:22.140 --> 17:25.000
From that day on, I was Danica.

17:25.270 --> 17:26.650
Danica...

17:28.060 --> 17:29.470
She calls me Danica.

17:30.290 --> 17:33.430
Before I knew it, 
Chetana had become my agent,

17:33.700 --> 17:35.040
and my spotter.

17:35.040 --> 17:38.030
And as my spotter, she was always with me.

17:39.770 --> 17:41.900
She took flowers she found on the way back

17:41.900 --> 17:43.740
from killing slavers, 
and put them in our room.

17:46.290 --> 17:50.330
Since Chetana had given me a name, 
I pierced her ear for her.

17:50.840 --> 17:53.890
I didn't find the earring just lying around. 
I bought it from a street stall.

17:54.870 --> 17:58.200
We got to the point where we could 
sleep in a bed instead of on the floor.

17:59.260 --> 18:01.450
I was surprised when 
I didn't get cold in the winter!

18:02.580 --> 18:05.040
We always decided what to eat together.

18:05.520 --> 18:08.040
Spreading butter on toast 
makes it so delicious!

18:08.420 --> 18:10.710
Putting marmalade on it makes it even better!

18:18.120 --> 18:21.380
For the first time, I felt like 
I'd become a human being.

18:27.770 --> 18:30.780
The first day we met, 
that meteor shower was going on,

18:30.780 --> 18:32.890
so I wanted to see it again this year...

18:35.130 --> 18:37.450
But the forecast says it'll rain.

18:39.330 --> 18:43.290
You're supposed to listen to 
any request, right, concierge?

18:43.290 --> 18:45.690
Yes, of course.

18:45.690 --> 18:48.540
Then show me the meteor shower!

18:48.540 --> 18:49.560
Meteor—

18:51.150 --> 18:53.870
The difficultly level on that is Ultra-C.

18:55.850 --> 18:58.500
Wait. Is something wrong, Sara-san?

19:03.770 --> 19:08.010
A delivery from the New Asia 
Trading Company just arrived.

19:08.790 --> 19:10.730
The New Asia Trading Company?

19:11.070 --> 19:14.820
They're the problematic company that 
broke off their contract with us, right?

19:17.020 --> 19:18.490
In this box is...

19:20.910 --> 19:23.660
That's... Chetana's.

19:38.550 --> 19:41.450
We've already checked to make certain 
that it hasn't been tampered with.

19:44.390 --> 19:47.200
<i>Listen up. You don't get to ask any questions.</i>

19:47.200 --> 19:49.140
<i>This is very simple.</i>

19:49.140 --> 19:52.860
<i>You will adhere to a rejected request. 
That is the condition.</i>

19:52.860 --> 19:55.190
<i>If you want her to come back alive, that is.</i>

19:55.750 --> 19:58.660
Wait! Is Chetana all right?

19:58.660 --> 20:00.000
<i>Danica!</i>

20:00.000 --> 20:01.230
Chetana!

20:01.750 --> 20:03.910
<i>Sorry. I messed up.</i>

20:05.190 --> 20:07.580
<i>I'll make up for this later.</i>

20:08.030 --> 20:09.770
<i>When all this is over...</i>

20:11.550 --> 20:13.180
<i>let's watch the meteor shower.</i>

20:48.240 --> 20:52.880
This appears to be the job request 
that Chetana-sama declined.

20:53.670 --> 20:55.760
The target is currently in Japan.

20:55.760 --> 20:56.710
Chetana...

20:58.480 --> 20:59.830
told me not to do it.

21:01.490 --> 21:03.010
Chetana doesn't make mistakes.

21:04.070 --> 21:06.550
Hey, do you think we'll be 
able to see the meteor shower?

21:06.550 --> 21:08.310
That's pretty much impossible.

21:08.310 --> 21:12.780
<i>However, with a low-pressure system 
moving in, rain is in the forecast that day.</i>

21:12.780 --> 21:14.110
<i>It's a shame.</i>

21:14.110 --> 21:16.860
Man, you've gotta be kidding me!

21:18.680 --> 21:20.740
We won't be able to see the meteor shower...

21:21.350 --> 21:23.490
but she said, "Let's watch it."

21:24.310 --> 21:25.290
That's a lie.

21:26.840 --> 21:29.450
"Lie" is a code word we agreed on.

21:30.410 --> 21:32.290
"Leave me and run."

21:34.310 --> 21:35.920
Which means Chetana thinks...

21:38.070 --> 21:39.900
that there's no escape for her.

21:49.140 --> 21:52.350
