I'm Standing on a Million Lives (2020) s01e06 Episode Script

The Ancient Ruins of Hosszú Bányázait Alagút

1
We have an order from the King
to transfer the pagans to Radorpo.
QUEST: EXPLORE 5 PERCENT OF THE MAP
DELIVER THE CARGO TO RADORPO
The cargo is those people?
They will be executed
on the hills of Radorpo.
But, if we deliver them there,
these people and that child
will all be killed.
Attacks against humans detected,
rank down.
Will it be fine if our actions
result in the death of humans?
Is this event part of the quest,
or is it a trap that will eliminate us?
Which one
is it?
I'M STANDING ON A MILLION LIVES
The strange routine in front of me
Stepping out of common sense
Cutting off the comforting link
to look for the true light
My back is against the wall,
I can't give in
(Be tough, don't cry, keep going)
The reality is a matter of life or death
The enthusiasm within my heart
(surviving in despair)
Entering the spiritual world
(fearless, striving)
We were born with loneliness
Walk side by side,
and be vulnerable no more
Even in the face of life's uncertainty
The fire of life will never die
With courage in my hand, I stand strong
Fight for tomorrow
Radorpo is at the westernmost point.
It's not under Deock Empire, is it?
Are you going to execute your citizens
in a foreign territory?
Who are you? Tell me your name!
Kahabell,
knight of the city state Cortonel.
Even a mere soldier from a large country
is not qualified to question me.
Cortonel.
It's no more than a small country
in the traffic center.
Sorry for being disrespectful.
I'm Kamilt,
lance corporal of the Deock Empire.
I'm the commanding officer of this army.
You're a war hawk who only thinks of war,
and your superior was killed by a Cobalt.
What's wrong
with your magnificent country?
Wait a minute!
The Deock Empire is a dictatorship
trying to take over the entire continent!
It's better to kill these three here!
I won't have you insulting
the Deock Empire and the King.
I shall execute whoever comes in my way
on site!
Hey, I mean
Yotsuya!
Well
Warriors, gather around!
Right now, if delivering cargo
to Radorpo is mandatory,
that is, it's definitely happening.
Then, the "cargo," as stated in the quest,
refers to those people.
I see.
So, if we help those soldiers,
we can complete the quest.
However, if we deliver the prisoners,
this kid and the others
will be executed.
That's true.
Their survival might mean a lot
to people in the future.
If the result of our action is deemed
as an attack on humans,
It might be "game over" straight away.
Are you saying
that this is a phishing quest?
I'm just saying it might be possible.
Anyway, I think it's too dangerous
to get rid of the soldiers right now.
What do you think?
I have an idea.
Let's say, we'll go with them to Radorpo
but we'll stop the execution
and let them go free?
It might work.
Well then,
we'll travel to the destination together
before we come to a conclusion.
So it's decided.
I also think this is the best idea.
Are you sure it's fine
to travel with these people?
And even a knight from another country!
There's no other choice.
We can't kill the prisoners
before execution.
We also have to rely
on the warrior with healing powers.
He's still unconscious?
I think he's getting better,
but he's just a kid after all.
The MP is also limited,
it takes time to recover.
Anyway, information is crucial.
I'll need information.
Let's camp around here, all right?
Why are we taking orders from that man?
After all, we're the ones
that's following them.
How should I put it
Something's not right.
Well,
Mr. Kamilt.
Don't take too long.
Excuse me.
Thank you for seeing me.
I think you'll be worried about the child.
Thank you for being so thoughtful.
My name is Fofcel, I'm a missionary
from the Ija Continent.
I wish we can at least help the kid,
Beriri, to escape.
I knew it. This is the key to the quest.
In Deock Empire, whenever a follower
of the Altros religion is found,
even foreigners will be assassinated.
Radorpo can't protect him either.
On that note, why is the Altros religion
a nuisance to Deock Empire?
It's a conflict between those
who worship only the king
and those who worship
both the king and holy spirits.
Both sides are violent
and neither will back down.
There are constant riots and they
keep destroying each other's monuments.
The statues of Deock Empire's kings
were destroyed and that set it all off.
In the end, the ban on religion
was announced.
And they started to execute
all religious worshipers.
Are you serious?
Even for a tyranny, it's too mean
to execute people over statues.
Life is too harsh.
Giussissu is a god
who celebrates love and peace.
Followers who didn't understand
love and peace in the holy script,
divided all citizens into "partners"
and "others".
Some extremists took actions
that worsened the conflicts.
This is indeed a mandatory event.
Religion and dictatorship,
I can't relate to that at all.
Next
It's time to talk to him.
Mr. Kamilt.
Why are you willing to take
such a dangerous trip
to escort the Altros followers
to Radorpo for execution?
This is to serve as a warning to others.
They come from Ija Continent.
We must stop them at
the entry point, Radorpo.
It's to prevent more from coming.
Lower the morale of missionaries
at the entrance is an important task.
Is it necessary to go this far?
Well, the King
Father!
Father
Orphans of wars and families
with fathers who cannot work
share the same destined future.
But, King Deock V changed all that.
Those who fought bravely in the war
will surely be rewarded.
And families whose father or son died
in the war
will be allocated with a slave.
The first step as a united country,
is to improve the lives of the citizens.
To realize that goal,
I will keep acquiring more colonies.
That was how my family got to survive.
He's a good king
who takes care of the weak.
He's sincerely creating a united country
for the people.
Therefore, whatever it takes,
I must eliminate the evil Altros religion
from this continent.
Can you understand?
Yes.
Although executing pagans is too much,
they have their own reasons.
Colonizing smaller countries
to obtain slaves is to care for the weak?
This only helps the weak
within their own country.
That's rogue logic.
A good king?
No, now that I have thought about it,
I don't like dictatorships.
Hold on, I'm still talking.
But I'm right.
It's like bullying.
Isn't it just a matter of superiority?
Whoever spoils the mood
ends up getting resented
and they get bullied immediately.
I see that all the time.
But those who don't care would tell
the teachers or their boyfriends.
It isn't right. That's not how it is done.
Isn't taking over small countries
just a means of bullying?
Bullying isn't about just one person!
Do you know what I'm saying?
Bullying isn't just about one person?
What does that mean?
You're made a slave because you're
an orphan or disabled? Abolish it then!
Allocate slaves?
They are not the king's slaves!
Anyway, I can tell you're furious.
What nonsense is that?
But I know you're insulting the King.
I'll kill you if you refuse
to take back your words!
Iu!
I'm sure we won't die
just by killing this one man.
Let's do it!
It's nothing, I'm sorry.
I'll tell her off.
What do you think?
I think we're all different.
According to that logic,
the King isn't wrong either.
"HORSE": HORSE FAMILY, BIPED HORSE
DIFFERENT FROM EARTH HORSES
OMNIVOROUS ANIMALS THAT WALK ON TWO LEGS
REGULAR ONES COST 700,000 YEN
SPECIAL INDIVIDUALS MAY COS
OVER 10 MILLION YEN
MAXIMUM SPEED WITHOUT CARGO: 70-120 KM/HR
As women, physically,
we're not as strong as men.
So, how do we bridge the gap?
By techniques? Sword fighting techniques?
To win, we must aim for the vital organs
for a fatal death.
Do you know any?
Well
It will take seven days
to get through this mountain.
After that, in five days,
we'll arrive in Radorpo.
This the first time he spoke
since two nights ago.
We're still 12 days away
from the destination.
Time remaining for the quest
is 13 days and 20 hours.
We're on a tight schedule.
Will the carriage make it past
that mountain?
Although it's quite steep,
it's not impossible.
However, there's another route.
It'll be faster.
This is exhausting.
This is the second time that
I've pushed the carriage with you.
True.
We're almost there. Keep going.
Yes.
We've arrived. That's the place.
What's that?
That's the other route?
This is a cave full of secret mechanisms
created by an ancient culture.
But the mechanism at the entrance
is still working.
It is better than climbing up a mountain
with that carriage.
Please wait in the front.
We'll go operate the mechanism
to open the entrance.
Okay.
That's impressive!
It's turning!
So cool!
Hold on.
Are you kidding me?
Open up!
Hey! Open up!
We're locked in here.
I'm sorry!
But, we can't have evil pagans
traveling with us.
You
Anyway, warriors, good luck.
No, unless you can handle
that thing on your own.
Hey! Let's get going.
Warriors!
Shut up!
Hey!
That bastard!
They also took the prisoners
who might be the cargo.
We're running out of time.
I don't know if we can get out of here.
Are you serious?
This is worse than starting over again!
I have decided.
If we go through here,
it's a shortcut anyway, right?
Let's go there first and kill those three.
Am I right? Let's go!
Let's go.
These mechanisms are so simple and rough.
This pillar.
It should be this one.
It worked!
That's scary!
The mechanisms are a piece of cake.
We'll get through it
and surprise those Deock dudes!
Darn it, I was too careless.
Yotsuya, what's going on down there?
Sorry, I can't go up.
Go ahead without me.
Are you serious?
It seems to be about eight floors high.
I don't think Yotsuya can
make it back within four weeks.
Two of the walls are moving irregularly.
In comparison, the one behind
seems to have a shorter interval.
We need about 40 seconds
to let the carriage pass.
We should have let Yotsuya
plan the strategy.
We'll get to the destination
by following the plan.
Can we do it on our own?
Seriously, can we get out of here?
Fifteen
What?
Well,
wait a minute.
You have pen and paper?
They have left me enough food
to last me half a day.
I must find an exit
before the fire is out.
This place is packed with remains.
I'll calculate the time
between each pause.
It should have some kind of pattern.
What can it be?
Is it also a hydro-powered mechanism?
Like a deer-scarer fountain.
Judging by the overall time, it's like
pushing several fountains at once.
These two are 60 and 75 seconds.
That means it's the same timing.
So the ones inside are
I got it!
Yes, it'll work.
In this case,
it'll start moving again in 540 seconds.
Just in case, I'll go solo.
Iu!
If I don't make it,
we'll have to count on you.
She made it!
It worked!
Yotsuya, are you down there?
Yes, I am here.
We're heading out.
Understood. I got it!
Okay.
Why does he sound so polite?
Another dead end.
What's Yotsuya doing?
If he hadn't been there,
we would have had lost already.
Indeed. We must think of something.
Come up with something
I have to find a way.
I can cut through it.
I'll use this as a foothold.
What's this? An arena?
What's in there?
Monster!
What's that?
Gargoyle? That's the first time I see one.
Gargoyle?
It's a man-made creature.
Is it dead?
They said that if you drain its body fluid
to mummify it,
it can stay alive
even after thousands of years.
No, unless you can handle
that thing on your own.
Is this what he meant?
It's moving!

In the shiny world
Embracing the moment
In the shiny world
Now, now, now
How can I become stronger
The reason why I always feel lost
Now, now, now
Memories sparkle
If I could become you or somebody else
Flying birds
Now, now, now
Must share the same wishes
Even though all the "ifs" come true
I won't be me again
Write down your dream and my name
On the beach with an hour hand
It'll disappear soon
Even so, I want to be me for once
Unpredictable future
Moving forward with you
In the shiny world
Embracing the moment
