Voiced by: Yuma Uchida (Japanese), Max Mittelman (English)

After he helped a dying woman who collapsed on the farm, his fate significantly changes. In a delirium, she kept muttering “Go to Ai-Khanoum.” It is the name of a legendary capital in a fairy tale. Upon hearing that, he sold his grandfather’s farm and went in search of the legendary capital Ai-Khanoum in her place. His friends would not let him go alone with such an honest resolve.
