Rio has left the village of the People of the Spirits and headed for his parents' homeland, Yaugumo. Unable to find any information on them, Rio searches and encounters the head of a small village in the Karasuki Kingdom, Yuba. When Rio tells Yuba the names of his parents, she's shocked—she and Rio have a profound connection. At Yuba's recommendation, Rio decides to live in the village and so a quiet, happy life alongside the villagers, including his cousin Ruri and a girl named Sayo, begins. Before long, the season turns to autumn, and they hear that the tax examiner will soon arrive to determine the amount of their annual tribute. Then, one day, Sayo's older brother Shin gets into a fight with men from the neighboring village.
Forgive my rudeness, but how 
did you know my parents?
أعتذر عن وقاحتي لكن كيف عرفت والديّ؟

Disculpe la pregunta,
pero ¿cómo los conoció?
Disculpe la pregunta,
pero ¿cómo los conoció?
Excusez-moi,
mais qui étaient-ils, pour vous ?
Mi perdoni la domanda diretta,
ma come mai conosceva i miei genitori?
Me desculpe perguntar, mas
você conhece meus pais?
Простите за такой вопрос, 
но откуда вы их знаете?
