The Twelve Kingdoms>01. Shadow of the Moon, the Sea of Shadow; Chapter 1

Yoko:
It’s you again.
Saru:
Look, Sekishi... Yes...See them as they approach.
2:15


Mother:
Are you talking about the same dream again?
You should not let those types of things worry you so much.
And also, after school go to the salon and have your hair dyed black.
Your teacher, Mr. Watanabe, was asking about it.
He wanted to know if red was your natural color.
Father:
Hey, where’s that paper?
Mother:
All right!
Just don’t forget, okay?
Father:
Why didn’t you make her dye it during her spring break?
It’s humiliating if people think she’s dying her hair red.
Mother:
I’m sorry, it’s my fault.
Father:
I don’t understand, neither of us has red hair.
Ganguro:
What?
What’s the matter?
Do you have a problem with me or something?


Yoko:
U-Um, n-no…

Ganguro:
Then why are you staring right at me? Apologize!
Yoko:
I’m so sorry…
Asano:
Hey, what’s going on?
Yoko:
Hi, Asano.
Asano:
Ooh, now this is very interesting.
Ganguro:
Yeah, what?
Asano:
I think I’ve discovered a new kind offarm animal.
Ganguro:
Take a hike!
take a hike (邪魔にならないように)立ち去る
Asano:
Oh come on. I'm just joking.
3:50


Asano:
What? Are you mad at me?
Yoko:
You embarrassed me back there.
Asano:
Hey, I was just trying to help you out.

Yoko:
But it was my fault for staring.
Asano:
Huh? Is that what you think?
So you still the good president even when you’re not at school, huh?
Yoko:
I don’t think… I even wanna be the school Student body president anymore.
Asano:
Huh?
What made you change your mind?
Yoko:
Hey! Don’t stand so close.
You're in the boy’s class, remember?
Asano:
Why are you being so cold to me?
We’ve known each other a long time.
Yoko:
I don’t wanna make a scene.
make a scene (声を立てて)騒ぐ
Sugimoto:
Good morning.
Yoko:
Ah, so I, I heard you’ve been going to a prep school since spring break; is that whole story true?
Asano:
Huh? Oh, yeah.
Yoko:
What happened to you?
You used to say you would go to the university that the school counselors recommended.
Asano:
Hey, Sugimoto was saying good morning to you.
Yoko:
Oh, really? I didn’t notice her at all.
Asano:
Now, that's not a very favorable attitude for a class president. Wouldn’t you agree?
Yoko:
I told you, I’m not going to be a class president anymore.
And how do you know Sugimoto? Have you two met before?
Asano:
Morning, guys!
Student1:
Good morning. Hey! What’s up? Hey, did you watch that TV show last night?
Asano:
Oh, yeah. I watched it.



Student1:
Man, they were cute.

5:09


Teacher:
And with many recommendations, Yoko Nakajima will be the class president for another year.
Yoko:
Then after the assembly, classes will start as usual.
Student1:
Excuse me.
Yoko:
Yes? What would you like?
Student1:
Can I change my seat?

Yoko:
Change your seat?
Student1:
Yes. I’m getting really tired of this one.
Yoko:
But the school-- it’s all arranged by registration number.
Student1:
Well, we're starting a new semester.
It'll give me a fresh start.
Student2:
Why don't you just tell her the truth?
She doesn’t wanna be near Sugimoto.
Student1:
Well, I was just trying to spare her feelings a little.
But nowI guess I'll be more honest about it.
... She’s so morbid I just can’t stand it.
Somebody change seats with me, come on!
Come on, please.
Yoko:
Please, be quiet everyone.
Be quiet!
6:12


Teacher:
Therefore, the usage of the verb “beat” is very important in this sentence.
To beat has meaning such as to refuse one’s understandings or to trick someone.
The “how” is used here as the noun clause, which includes the subject of "beat".
verb 動詞
noun 名詞
clause 節
Student3:
That was kind of you Nakajima.

Yoko:
Huh?
Student3:
I'm glad you class president.
Yoko:
Ah. It's nothing.
6:39


Yoko:
Hi, Sugimoto.
Why do you never talk to anybody while you are at school?
Sugimoto:
'Cause all I ever get is ignored.
Yoko:
No, but that's not true at all!
The other students may be a little tough on you, but... Sugimoto, All you ever do is read books and...
Wait! I'm so sorry.
Sugimoto:
A lot of people here at school think that you and I are friends.
Yoko:
But, aren't we friends?
8:00


Saru:
Yes. Look...
The blade's going to reach you soon.
Yoko:
Who's there?

Yoko:
Why was Sugimoto in my dream?
8:33

Yoko:
Huh? He's at a prep school?
Yes, I understand.Thank you very much.
Oh. Welcome home.
Mother:
Yoko, didn't I tell you to go to the salon today?
Yoko:
I know. I'm leaving right now.
8:51


Yoko:
Is that Asano?
9:12


Yoko:
He could've at least told me that he was interested in going out with her.
So... beautiful...
Enki:
The scent of blood, it surrounds your being.
Yoko:
Huh? Scent of blood?
What was that?
10:07


Yoko:
Who's there?


Teacher:
Hey, Nakajima.
Class is still in session here.


Yoko:
Oh. I'm so very sorry.


Teacher:
Is it true that you're staying out till all hours of the night?


Yoko:
Huh?


Teacher:
I wouldn't think I'd have to worry about an honor student like you, but I want you to stay after class for a moment, so that we can discuss it.


Yoko:
Ah. Yes sir...


Student4
She's the honor student, but who knows what she does after school?

8:55


Yoko:
Who are you?

Keiki:
Finally, my search for you has ended.


Yoko:
What?


Keiki:
Please, you must come with me.


Yoko:
But, who are you?


???
Taiho, I sense the enemy.


Keiki:
It seems that we've been followed.


Yoko:
Where did that voice come from?


Keiki:
I do not have time to explain. Excuse me.There is much danger here. We must go to a safer place.


Yoko:
No, let go of me! Just who are you anyway?!


Keiki:
There is no time for me to explan this. The enemy aproaches. Please... come with me.


Yoko:
No!
Don't come closer. I don't know who you are!


Keiki:
There is no mistake. It is you.


Yoko:
I think you may have the wrong person.


Keiki:
Don't be stubborn.


Yoko:
Huh?


Keiki:
I swear never to desert my post before your throne.

desert one's post 地位を捨てる
throne 王位、王座
Yoko:
What? But I...


Keiki:
Accept it.


Yoko:
Accept it?


Keiki:
If you value your life in anyway, you must say that you accept it.


Yoko:
What? How do I?


Keiki:
Now, quickly.


Yoko:
I-I accept...


Teacher:
Hey, what are you doing in here. Who are you?


Keiki:
This is none of your concern.


Teacher:
What did you say? What do you want with my student?
Get out of this classroom!


Keiki:
It is not safe here.


Teacher:
What do you mean it's not safe?
What's going on here?
Nakajima, say something. Explain yourself.


Yoko:
No... Professor...
But, why is this happening?


Teacher:
Nakajima... Why... Why aren't either of you two hurt?
And who is that stranger? Are you with him?


Yoko:
No, I'm not.

No!

13:45


Keiki:
Wait! They're coming this way.
Go up to the roof.


Yoko:
But... But I...


Keiki:
If you do not wish to continue to harm innocent people, then we must go to the roof.


Yoko:
What's going on?


Asano:
Yoko?


Yoko:
Asano, Sugimoto.


Asano:
Who's that? Your boyfriend?


Yoko:
No, he is not my boyfriend!


Asano:
And I thought you told me you didn't wanna make a scene


Yoko:
I'm telling you, he's not!

14:36



Yoko:
Wha, What is that giant bird?

Keiki:
It's a Kocho.
Hyouki!

Yoko:
What are they?

Keiki:
Kaiko!

Yoko:
Wh... What's that? Is it a human?

Keiki:
She is Kaiko.

Asano:
What on earth?!
Come on! Let's get out of here now!

Sugimoto:
No way. This is too much fun.

Asano:
Huh? No, wait, Yuka!

Keiki:
Here, take this sword.

Yoko:
Huh? Why? What is it?

Keiki:
You are my master, and this sword shall no doubt prove it.

Yoko:
Me? A master? That can't be.

Keiki:
Please, take this.
Now.

Sugimoto:
Who are you? Please tell me what you are!

Keiki:
I am Keiki.

Yoko:
Keiki, please explain what's going on! Why do you--

Keiki:
I have come to take you back to your world.

Yoko:
My world?

Sugimoto:
What world did you come from? Tell me please.

Hyouki!
Now, slay Kochou with that sword.

Yoko:

Sugimoto:
Give it to me. I'll do it.

Yoko:
Sugimoto, no!

The sword of Suiguu can only be wielded by her.

Sugimoto:
Why? She couldn't do anything with it before!

Yoko:
Sugimoto's right. I have no idea how to use a sword.

Then I will lend you a Hinman. Jyouyuu!

Yokio:
Ah! Ahhh! What is that?
No! Take it off. Take it off. No... No...
It's gone... Hey, where did it go? Please take it off!

Jyouyuu:

In order for me to protect you, you must show your trust and come along with me.

Sugimoto:
Nakajima said she didn't wanna go anywhere with you unless we were both going there with her.

Yoko:
I don't want to go anywhere.
If we're gone, then everybody will start to worry about where we are.
And I don't wanna cause trouble for anyone.

Sugimoto:
What's here for you anyway?

Yoko:
Ah? Well I have school and friends and... I have...
