Ruri Tanigawa : What is this? What's this? (0:00:09.17)
Ruri Tanigawa : What? Is this a crystal? A real crystal? (0:00:10.92)
Ruri Tanigawa : Whoa, I think I really want this. (0:00:21.68)
Ruri Tanigawa : It's so shiny and clear. (0:00:25.19)
Ruri Tanigawa : It's too much. (0:00:27.87)
Aoi Kasamaru : Ruri, how long are you gonna
keep looking at pebbles?
(0:00:31.32)
Aoi Kasamaru : It's not like you have the money to buy it. (0:00:35.60)
Ruri Tanigawa : What are you talking about? (0:00:37.77)
Ruri Tanigawa : If I ask, I bet I can find ten or
twenty people to buy it for me.
(0:00:39.35)
Ruri Tanigawa : Puh-lease! (0:00:46.47)
Ruri Tanigawa : Puh-lease! (0:00:48.44)
Ruri Tanigawa : Give me an advance on next month's allowance! (0:00:50.36)
Ruri Tanigawa : But it's so cute. (0:00:56.69)
Ruri Tanigawa : I'll even let you borrow it. (0:00:58.84)
Ruri Tanigawa : It's a real crystal. (0:01:00.62)
Ruri Tanigawa : Actually, crystals are collected abroad. (0:01:10.99)
Ruri Tanigawa : You can't just find them
on the ground around here.
(0:01:14.92)
Ruri Tanigawa : What? (0:01:21.41)
Ruri Tanigawa : Do you still have those? (0:01:24.97)
Ruri Tanigawa : Why?! What a waste! (0:01:30.62)
Ruri Tanigawa : Aw, what? (0:01:38.21)
Ruri Tanigawa : Did Grandpa pick wild plants
at those mountains
(0:01:46.43)
Ruri Tanigawa : where I took all those field trips? (0:01:48.83)
Ruri Tanigawa : If he could find them while picking plants,
I should be able to find some, too.
(0:02:00.10)
Ruri Tanigawa : And if I can gather them myself, (0:02:04.35)
Ruri Tanigawa : I can make all the cute and
luxurious accessories I want.
(0:02:06.55)
Ruri Tanigawa : Everyone's gonna be so jealous. (0:02:10.35)
Ruri Tanigawa : That said, I'm not sure I believe it. (0:02:12.53)
Ruri Tanigawa : It's too close to home. (0:02:15.15)
Ruri Tanigawa : I guess I'll try wandering
around the mountains.
(0:02:19.53)
Ruri Tanigawa : I'm sure I'll find something
if I go deep enough.
(0:02:21.64)
Ruri Tanigawa : Th-This doesn't scare me one bit. (0:02:26.40)
Ruri Tanigawa : I paid 500 yen to take the bus here. (0:02:29.13)
Ruri Tanigawa : This area will do. (0:02:35.63)
Ruri Tanigawa : Rock... (0:02:38.16)
Ruri Tanigawa : Rock... (0:02:40.07)
Ruri Tanigawa : Rock... rock... rock... (0:02:42.16)
Ruri Tanigawa : Rock, rock, rock! (0:02:45.46)
Ruri Tanigawa : Just plain old rocks! (0:02:46.46)
Ruri Tanigawa : I'm starting to feel like
I'll never find anything.
(0:02:48.13)
Nagi Arato : Whoops. (0:02:51.60)
Nagi Arato : What are you sitting there for? (0:02:55.87)
Nagi Arato : Are you not feeling well? (0:02:58.18)
Ruri Tanigawa : Oh, I'm actually looking for crys... (0:03:06.43)
Ruri Tanigawa : Uh, I mean, my shoelaces... (0:03:08.53)
Nagi Arato : As long as you're not in trouble. (0:03:19.82)
Nagi Arato : Be careful out there. (0:03:21.67)
Ruri Tanigawa : Hey, wait! (0:03:22.79)
Ruri Tanigawa : Do you know a lot about rocks? (0:03:24.88)
Nagi Arato : I know a bit. (0:03:26.94)
Ruri Tanigawa : I-I heard that I could find
c-crystals around here...
(0:03:29.02)
Nagi Arato : Crystals? (0:03:33.34)
Nagi Arato : In that case, they're off the
trail, but they're back there.
(0:03:36.97)
Ruri Tanigawa : What? (0:03:39.99)
Ruri Tanigawa : Really? (0:03:41.39)
Ruri Tanigawa : T-Take me there! (0:03:44.30)
Nagi Arato : What? But I... (0:03:46.15)
Nagi Arato : Oh, fine. (0:03:53.98)
Ruri Tanigawa : I'm Ruri Tanigawa. (0:03:57.56)
Nagi Arato : Nagi Arato. I'm a graduate student. (0:03:59.78)
Ruri Tanigawa : Do you like rocks? (0:04:02.95)
Nagi Arato : I like studying them. (0:04:05.02)
Ruri Tanigawa : Huh. (0:04:07.82)
Ruri Tanigawa : Uh, what's that huge hammer for? (0:04:16.24)
Nagi Arato : Oh, this? (0:04:20.58)
Nagi Arato : I found it at the flea market the other day. (0:04:24.31)
Nagi Arato : It's a war hammer that washed
up here from overseas.
(0:04:26.99)
Nagi Arato : It was made to be used, so its center
of gravity is in the exact right place.
(0:04:29.83)
Nagi Arato : I bought it to split stones. (0:04:33.75)
Nagi Arato : I wanted to try it out today. (0:04:36.62)
Nagi Arato : I'm looking forward to it. (0:04:39.36)
Ruri Tanigawa : Is she a sketchy person? (0:04:41.35)
Ruri Tanigawa : My butt hurts. (0:04:49.01)
Ruri Tanigawa : Nagi-san! (0:04:50.99)
Nagi Arato : What is it? Again? (0:04:52.96)
Ruri Tanigawa : It doesn't look like there's
a trail here at all.
(0:04:55.59)
Nagi Arato : Don't worry. This is the right way. (0:04:59.49)
Ruri Tanigawa : Are you sure? We're not lost, are we? (0:05:01.47)
Nagi Arato : Look at those rocks. (0:05:05.62)
Nagi Arato : See how their surface is black? (0:05:08.57)
Nagi Arato : That's basalt made from solidified lava. (0:05:10.55)
Nagi Arato : Meanwhile, across from
those is sedimentary rock.
(0:05:13.31)
Nagi Arato : That's gray limestone. (0:05:16.30)
Nagi Arato : Trees are all the same, but all
rocks have different faces.
(0:05:20.98)
Nagi Arato : Don't worry. We're not lost. (0:05:24.60)
Nagi Arato : We're almost there. You can do it. (0:05:27.38)
Ruri Tanigawa : Okay. (0:05:29.29)
Ruri Tanigawa : Almost there? Yeah, right. (0:05:35.51)
Ruri Tanigawa : My legs and butt hurt, and I
keep getting caught on things.
(0:05:38.73)
Ruri Tanigawa : Nobody said it would be like this. (0:05:43.17)
Nagi Arato : There's a fallen tree. (0:05:46.91)
Ruri Tanigawa : Ow! (0:05:48.43)
Ruri Tanigawa : I'm sick of this, I'm sick
of this, I'm sick of this!
(0:05:52.84)
Ruri Tanigawa : I should've just bought
my crystals at the store.
(0:05:56.52)
Ruri Tanigawa : Even if I found one now, I
wouldn't be happy at all.
(0:05:59.56)
Nagi Arato : Ruri-chan. (0:06:03.36)
Nagi Arato : Look. (0:06:04.90)
Ruri Tanigawa : Wow! (0:06:11.09)
Ruri Tanigawa : Crystals! Real crystals! (0:06:12.94)
Ruri Tanigawa : They really were here! (0:06:15.16)
Ruri Tanigawa : Over there, too! (0:06:18.13)
Ruri Tanigawa : And here! (0:06:21.44)
Ruri Tanigawa : And here! (0:06:22.36)
Ruri Tanigawa : And there! (0:06:23.32)
Ruri Tanigawa : Nagi-san, Nagi-san! Look at all of these! (0:06:24.84)
Nagi Arato : Quite the sight, isn't it? (0:06:33.91)
Nagi Arato : It's called a pegmatite deposit. (0:06:35.66)
Nagi Arato : It's formed by magma seeping
into the cracks in bedrock.
(0:06:39.17)
Nagi Arato : When that happens, some
of the magma vaporizes,
(0:06:43.66)
Nagi Arato : but the gas can't escape,
so it gets trapped within the magma
(0:06:46.87)
Nagi Arato : and creates cavities. (0:06:50.34)
Nagi Arato : The crystals form inside that cavity. (0:06:52.17)
Nagi Arato : The cavity is called a druse or geode, and— (0:06:55.35)
Nagi Arato : Ruri-chan? (0:06:57.73)
Ruri Tanigawa : This one's nice. This one's pretty, too. (0:07:09.87)
Ruri Tanigawa : I'm taking them all home. (0:07:13.53)
Nagi Arato : Remember, we have to walk back. (0:07:15.29)
Nagi Arato : Choose carefully. (0:07:17.25)
Ruri Tanigawa : Oh? (0:07:19.91)
Ruri Tanigawa : I want this one. (0:07:22.59)
Ruri Tanigawa : Come on! Break, you little...! (0:07:24.10)
Nagi Arato : Ruri-chan, want me to do it? (0:07:26.89)
Ruri Tanigawa : Huh? (0:07:28.84)
Ruri Tanigawa : It's mine, okay? You know that, right? (0:07:32.40)
Nagi Arato : Watch for flying shards. Stand back. (0:07:35.79)
Nagi Arato : Man, this quartzite sure is hard. (0:07:43.83)
Ruri Tanigawa : No way. That didn't work either? (0:07:47.92)
Nagi Arato : Okay. Time to use this thing. (0:07:50.55)
Nagi Arato : I should apologize in advance. (0:07:55.66)
Nagi Arato : My hands might slip and break the crystals. (0:07:57.43)
Ruri Tanigawa : Don't do that. Break it off cleanly. (0:08:00.74)
Nagi Arato : It's black. Is that okay? (0:08:15.92)
Ruri Tanigawa : Yes. I can handle it. (0:08:17.32)
Nagi Arato : It blows me away no matter
how many times I see it.
(0:08:24.72)
Nagi Arato : It must've taken an incredible amount of (0:08:27.27)
Nagi Arato : energy, time, and coincidence
for nature to create this sight.
(0:08:29.14)
Ruri Tanigawa : It's way too big and grand
for me to understand.
(0:08:34.87)
Nagi Arato : I see. (0:08:39.11)
Ruri Tanigawa : But this rock is my treasure. (0:08:40.58)
Ruri Tanigawa : It's probably the prettiest
rock in the world.
(0:08:44.40)
Ruri Tanigawa : That much I do understand. (0:08:47.64)
Ruri Tanigawa : I didn't think there were
places like this in Japan.
(0:08:50.91)
Nagi Arato : Crystals are the most common mineral. (0:08:54.66)
Nagi Arato : They may differ in scale, but there are
places you can collect them everywhere.
(0:08:57.76)
Nagi Arato : Most people just don't know it. (0:09:01.84)
Ruri Tanigawa : Huh. (0:09:03.55)
Nagi Arato : Four tectonic plates press against
each other beneath this country.
(0:09:05.47)
Nagi Arato : They cause natural disasters, (0:09:09.71)
Nagi Arato : but they also make this country one of
the world's top mineral producers.
(0:09:11.16)
Nagi Arato : Rubies, sapphires, topazes,
gold, silver, and bronze.
(0:09:16.50)
Nagi Arato : Even diamonds that were said
not to exist here were found.
(0:09:20.31)
Nagi Arato : There's no other place where you can (0:09:24.41)
Nagi Arato : collect practically every major
precious stone in such a small area.
(0:09:26.24)
Ruri Tanigawa : Could I collect those, too? (0:09:39.39)
Nagi Arato : Well, we're up against nature here. (0:09:42.99)
Nagi Arato : You'll need a bit of knowledge. (0:09:45.23)
Ruri Tanigawa : Then... (0:09:47.62)
Ruri Tanigawa : Then teach me, Nagi-san! (0:09:49.49)
Nagi Arato : Sorry, sorry. You're pretty pushy. (0:09:58.01)
Nagi Arato : I'm thinking about hunting for garnet soon. (0:10:03.87)
Ruri Tanigawa : Garnet? (0:10:06.81)
Nagi Arato : Would you like to come with me? (0:10:08.64)
Ruri Tanigawa : Yes! (0:10:09.71)
Ruri Tanigawa : Garnet. (0:11:53.20)
Ruri Tanigawa : Ga-ga-ga-garnet, garnet. (0:11:55.07)
Nagi Arato : We've walked pretty far. (0:11:56.62)
Nagi Arato : Is there someplace around here? (0:11:57.90)
Nagi Arato : Looks like we can get down from there. (0:12:01.54)
Nagi Arato : Ruri-chan, let's go check it out. (0:12:03.60)
Ruri Tanigawa : Nagi-san, we're friends, aren't we? (0:12:05.07)
Ruri Tanigawa : Call me Ruri. (0:12:08.15)
Nagi Arato : Okay. Let's go, Ruri. (0:12:10.13)
Ruri Tanigawa : Let's go! (0:12:11.24)
Nagi Arato : There's more of a trail than I expected. (0:12:14.28)
Nagi Arato : People must pass through here often. (0:12:16.53)
Nagi Arato : Someone split stones here. (0:12:18.90)
Ruri Tanigawa : They're close. I know they're close. (0:12:20.51)
Ruri Tanigawa : The garnets are close! (0:12:21.95)
Nagi Arato : Oh? There's something there. (0:12:23.82)
Ruri Tanigawa : Is this where they are? (0:12:29.18)
Ruri Tanigawa : Huh? What? (0:12:34.43)
Nagi Arato : Well, there's not much we can do. (0:12:36.26)
Ruri Tanigawa : Wh-What do you mean? (0:12:39.02)
Nagi Arato : I mean exactly what I said. (0:12:40.58)
Nagi Arato : Unfortunately, we can't go any farther. (0:12:41.97)
Nagi Arato : I thought we'd be all right since this
place was written about in a book.
(0:12:45.00)
Ruri Tanigawa : But nobody's watching. (0:12:50.63)
Nagi Arato : Sorry. I'm not doing it. (0:12:52.71)
Ruri Tanigawa : Screw this dumb sign! (0:12:57.81)
Nagi Arato : Hey, there's no point in
taking it out on objects.
(0:13:00.76)
Ruri Tanigawa : But Nagi-san, if not for
this thing, we could—
(0:13:04.22)
Nagi Arato : No. If you're going to do that, (0:13:08.60)
Nagi Arato : I won't be able to take you places anymore. (0:13:11.58)
Nagi Arato : Will you fix your behavior? (0:13:17.11)
Ruri Tanigawa : Okay... (0:13:19.50)
Nagi Arato : If we're not allowed to do it,
we have to obey the rules.
(0:13:21.11)
Nagi Arato : No ifs, ands, or buts. (0:13:23.51)
Nagi Arato : Sometimes it's due to risk of landslides (0:13:25.50)
Nagi Arato : or because environmental
protection is required.
(0:13:28.34)
Nagi Arato : As outsiders, there's a
lot we might not notice,
(0:13:32.97)
Nagi Arato : but there's always a reason why it's prohibited. (0:13:36.53)
Ruri Tanigawa : Okay, but I wish we could've
hunted for stones.
(0:13:41.03)
Nagi Arato : Then let's do that. (0:13:45.87)
Ruri Tanigawa : What? Nagi-san, do you know other
places where we can find some?
(0:13:47.01)
Nagi Arato : No, but I doubt this is the
only place we can get them.
(0:13:51.15)
Nagi Arato : Rocks move far more than we think. (0:13:57.89)
Ruri Tanigawa : Rocks move, huh? (0:14:06.53)
Ruri Tanigawa : Nah, rocks don't move. (0:14:09.40)
Nagi Arato : Ruri, come here. (0:14:11.10)
Ruri Tanigawa : Coming. (0:14:13.97)
Nagi Arato : Here we'll use a sifter instead of a hammer. (0:14:16.15)
Ruri Tanigawa : Hey, Nagi-san. (0:14:27.44)
Ruri Tanigawa : Are there really garnets at
the bottom of the river?
(0:14:28.86)
Nagi Arato : Yeah. Shovel some gravel into
the sifter and sift it well.
(0:14:31.85)
Ruri Tanigawa : Really? (0:14:35.05)
Ruri Tanigawa : But this is a totally different
place from those mountains.
(0:14:36.85)
Nagi Arato : It might seem strange to look
for garnets someplace far away.
(0:14:39.83)
Nagi Arato : But you could search this whole river and (0:14:45.72)
Nagi Arato : you'd never find a stone
that was here to begin with.
(0:14:49.04)
Nagi Arato : It's true that garnets start off in
the mountains far away from here.
(0:14:52.83)
Nagi Arato : The stones exposed to wind
and rain in the mountains...
(0:14:58.25)
Nagi Arato : break down and eventually tumble down. (0:15:03.07)
Nagi Arato : Then they're carried by the
river's currents and worn down.
(0:15:10.70)
Nagi Arato : At first glance, they may seem far away, (0:15:17.52)
Nagi Arato : but this river is actually connected
to the garnets on that mountain.
(0:15:21.05)
Nagi Arato : That's just my theory, though. (0:15:27.29)
Nagi Arato : I don't know if we'll actually find— (0:15:29.04)
Ruri Tanigawa : Nagi-san! (0:15:30.36)
Nagi Arato : That's a pretty crystal. (0:15:32.94)
Nagi Arato : It's a garnet. (0:15:35.21)
Ruri Tanigawa : Yes! Yes! Yes! (0:15:36.58)
Nagi Arato : I'm glad we found one. (0:15:38.08)
Ruri Tanigawa : All right! Yeah! (0:15:39.12)
Nagi Arato : They really did flow all the way here. (0:15:39.80)
Nagi Arato : Well, now I don't want
to leave empty-handed.
(0:15:45.80)
Ruri Tanigawa : All right! Let's find some more! (0:15:48.89)
Ruri Tanigawa : Nothing. There's nothing here. (0:15:55.52)
Ruri Tanigawa : Any luck, Nagi-san? (0:15:58.71)
Nagi Arato : I only found two. (0:15:59.96)
Ruri Tanigawa : Two whole crystals? No fair! (0:16:01.65)
Ruri Tanigawa : Are you using some special method? (0:16:04.31)
Nagi Arato : A special method? (0:16:06.57)
Nagi Arato : Garnets have a high specific gravity. (0:16:08.18)
Nagi Arato : In other words, it's a heavy mineral. (0:16:10.38)
Nagi Arato : Once they settle, (0:16:12.56)
Nagi Arato : it requires more force to move them
compared to lighter materials,
(0:16:14.48)
Nagi Arato : so they don't move as much where (0:16:18.59)
Nagi Arato : the current is weaker and
tend to accumulate there.
(0:16:21.60)
Nagi Arato : So... (0:16:25.33)
Ruri Tanigawa : Please, Nagi-san! In simpler terms! (0:16:26.32)
Nagi Arato : In that case, look downstream
from large rocks.
(0:16:30.51)
Nagi Arato : The current slows down, so
garnets tend to gather there.
(0:16:33.91)
Ruri Tanigawa : Big rocks? Big rocks, huh... (0:16:37.43)
Ruri Tanigawa : That's a big rock! (0:16:41.82)
Nagi Arato : But it's on the opposite shore. (0:16:43.41)
Nagi Arato : We'd probably find garnets there, though. (0:16:44.89)
Ruri Tanigawa : We'll be fine if we find
a shallow place to cross.
(0:16:48.40)
Ruri Tanigawa : I promise to get you there
safely, so you can count on me.
(0:16:50.85)
Ruri Tanigawa : O-Okay, let's go find some rocks! (0:17:02.26)
Ruri Tanigawa : Wow. All these traveled
here from that mountain.
(0:17:24.99)
Ruri Tanigawa : When you first said that rocks move,
I wasn't sure what you meant,
(0:17:29.48)
Ruri Tanigawa : but it's actually pretty simple
once you understand it.
(0:17:34.35)
Ruri Tanigawa : They fall into the river from the
mountain, flow down the river,
(0:17:36.94)
Ruri Tanigawa : and eventually end up in the ocean. (0:17:39.85)
Ruri Tanigawa : That's how it works, right? (0:17:42.27)
Nagi Arato : Actually, their journey
doesn't end at the ocean.
(0:17:43.97)
Ruri Tanigawa : But there's nowhere else for them to go. (0:17:46.77)
Nagi Arato : Take the summit of Mt. Everest. (0:17:48.95)
Nagi Arato : That was once at the bottom of the sea. (0:17:51.37)
Nagi Arato : Sometimes rocks climb up mountains
from the bottom of the sea.
(0:17:53.43)
Nagi Arato : If they get caught in
the movement of plates,
(0:17:56.89)
Nagi Arato : they can go underground and
become part of a volcano.
(0:17:58.89)
Nagi Arato : If it erupts, they can even fly. (0:18:04.23)
Nagi Arato : Their movement is less limited than humans. (0:18:07.84)
Nagi Arato : To us, they look like they're standing still (0:18:10.57)
Nagi Arato : because they operate on a timescale
so different from ours.
(0:18:12.86)
Nagi Arato : Rocks move on a scale of thousands
and millions of years.
(0:18:16.39)
