|
Run!
It's their mother!! |
|
*dokun* *dokun* (sound of a heart beating) |
|
*Howl* |
|
The time has come
You who move out of great hatred as I do
|
|
For thee (magical) power
............
For me, a body......
Let this pact be made......
|
| Keld: |
--And so at the end of a long battle
The one who came from the other realm
The abomination that uses people as food, the vampire king Duzell
Was felled by the holy King Phelios' holy sword Sidia |
| Ishtar: |
......So it seems, Keld
|
| Keld: |
"So it seems"......
Have you been listening properly Lady Ishtar!
Ah, Your Highness |
| Ishtar: |
I've been listening
Perhaps you may have forgotten but
I've heard that story from you hundreds of times |
|
(mutter) |
| Ishtar: |
Senile old man |
| Krai / Jill: |
(snort)
*chuckles*
*laughs* |
| Darres: |
Give me a break |
| Keld: |
Eh? Did you say something? |
| Darres: |
Lord Keld!
But the two of them took each other out didn't they
Holy King Phelios and Vampire King Duzell
|
| Keld: |
Ah, exactly Darres |
|
*smirk* |
| Keld: |
Regrettably, St. Phelios was also felled by Duzell's magic
But...... |
| Ishtar: |
But! |
|
*rattle* |
| Ishtar: |
The Vampire King said to our great grandfather |
|
*step* *step*
|
| Ishtar: |
"In a hundred and some tens of years hence, thou shalt be reborn in one who carries your blood"
"At that time, so too shall I be reborn and your blood shall I drink, your body shall I rend"
"And your soul shall sink into the abyss for eternity"
But, if Great Grandfather is to be reincarnated in this world,
Rather than wait for Duzell's return
I shall burn him at the stake
|
| Keld: |
Huh? |
| Darres: |
Lady Ishtar! |
|
*snickers* |
| Ishtar: |
I'm kidding |
|
*laughs* |
| Keld: |
In any case
Your highness alone is of direct descent from the Holy King Phelios' noble bloodline
One day, you'll be joined with another of the same blood
And bear an heir worthy of your ancestry
|
| Servant: |
Lord Keld!
The village leader of Milan has come requesting an immediate audience about a blood-sucking monster!! |
| Ishtar: |
A blood-sucking monster......? |
| Village Leader: |
Normally, the kyawl* is a peaceful animal that feeds off of tree sap and fruit nectar and
isn't something that would attack people
And yet it's now been 3 people
Three people have had all the blood drained from their bodies......
*the English version has it called a kyawl which is maintained in this translation, however it's actually called kyaruu with the characters meaning a large water cat
|
|
*step*
*peeks in* |
| Rao: |
It got my father!
Right in front of my eyes!
I fought too but---... |
| Leader: |
Rao.....
We did all we could
The result being the third victim; this one's father
It's completely beyond our power......!
|
| Leader: |
Please help us!! |
| Keld: |
Wait a minute!
Then, the blood-sucking monster you speak of......
Is this animal? |
| Leader: |
Y......
Yes...? |
| Jill: |
Captain Darres......
Why does her Highness hate St Phelios so much? |
| Darres: |
How would I know!
|
| Darres: |
What I want to know is
How to keep that whimsical girl from causing trouble and how to keep that senile old man's blood pressure from going up!
You guys started this year but......
I've been here since I was 17......
Lady Ishtar was 5, and old Keld's ears were still good; some 10 years
I've been protecting that Lady Ishtar
I'm sick of it! |
| Krai: |
Hahahah
Just thinking of it is scary...... |
| Darres: |
At that time, while Lady Ishtar did tend to cause panic by disappearing......
|
| Darres: |
Even so, more than now,
She was much cuter...... |
| Ishtar: |
I wike Darretsu......
When I grow up, Ichuta- (Ishtar).......
Ichuta will...... |
| Jill: |
Ah, Lord Keld!
|
| Krai: |
Lord Keld! Could it be that that vampiric monster is Duzell's...... |
|
*Bonk* |
| Keld: |
Fool
Duzell would take human form not an animal's......
Most likely some animal that feeds off liquids became starved
And started craving human blood
Rather than that, where's Lady Ishtar? |
| Darres: |
In her chambers...... |
| Keld: |
In that case, we'll continue our talk...... |
| Darres: |
Do you really intend to continue with that, Old Man......
*Sick of it*
|
|
*wind blows*
*Door opens on an empty room* |
| Keld: |
L-
Lady Ishtar!! |
|
*sound of running feet* |
| Jill: |
Captain!
The Holy Sword Sidia is also gone |
| Darres: |
She got me!!
|
|
*whinnies* |
| Arrow: |
Note: Dressed as a male |
| Rao: |
It's great that Sir Knight was able to come with us
From the way the Advisor spoke
I didn't think anyone would come from the castle
|
| Ishtar: |
You mean Keld
Don't blame him
He's not a bad man but
It's just
That he's gone senile! |
|
*states flatly*
*giggles* |
| Elder: |
............ |
| Ishtar: |
He should have sent a *squad*
against something that's akin to Duzell
To think he's so lost in dreams that he can't see that you're in trouble in reality
He can't be anything but senile right? |
| Elder: |
......Sir Knight |
| Ishtar: |
Never mind
I was also bored
No doubt this sword can take care of things against one monster
|
| Ishtar: |
And even if I can't handle things,
Soon enough, Darres will...... |
| Rao: |
Darres? |
| Ishtar: |
Hm, nothing.
Let's go. |
| Kyawl: |
That child......
|
| Duzell: |
Yes, it's the child of the last one who was killed; the third man's child |
| Rao: |
Father! |
| Kyawl: |
But that man was different.
He wasn't one of the people who killed my babies
I was mistaken. |
| Duzell: |
Yes, that's why there's still one more for you to take revenge on......
|
| Kyawl: |
I was mistaken...... |
| Duzell: |
............?
In any case, by now, the humans will be on their guard
You will not be able to take revenge on the third person using a direct approach.
We need a little bit of a human female's blood.
We'll take that blood and use it to cast a shape-shifting spell
And lure the last person out and kill him. |
| Kyawl: |
Shape shifting spell?
|
| Duzell: |
Yes. I'm still very young in this world
And can only use spells of that level but......
Even so, it'll be more than enough to help you
......take your revenge |
| Shia: |
? |
|
*rustle* |
| Man: |
Village Leader......
|
| Man: |
Another person's been killed!
It's Phil! |
| Ishtar: |
This is the fourth person? |
| Leader: |
Yes......
Along with the first two, he was young and always doing bad things
With Phil......
|
| Leader: |
I adamantly told him you are not to leave your house |
| Ishtar: |
By "you" |
|
*Ah* (realises what he'd said) |
| Shia: |
Those three young ones
Tortured and killed the kyawl's children. |
| Leader: |
Shia!
|
| Shia: |
Not for the meat
Nor for the fur
Just for fun...... |
| Ishtar: |
In other words, this is revenge for that? |
| Shia: |
Yes
I swear by the God of Life this is the truth......
|
| Ishtar: |
In that case......
You could say this is just reward |
| Leader: |
But Sir Knight! |
| Ishtar: |
If it was your child that was tortured to death
What would you do!? |
|
*jump* |
| Ishtar: |
But......
|
| Ishtar: |
One among the four who were killed,
This one's father, was for what reason? |
| Shia: |
That... |
| Man: |
Village leader!
Shia's...!! |
|
*murmur* |
| Village: |
There are two Shia's!!
|
| Ishtar: |
What!? |
| Villager: |
Kyaaaa
Aaa |
|
*Gasa* (cat lands on the ground) |
| Villager: |
It's a curse!
|
| Villager: |
Phil and the others act was so cruel that
God did not turn a blind eye to it!! |
| Ishtar: |
Just what is going on here......? |
| Ishtar: |
What do you want to do.
Do you want to seek revenge for your father? |
| Rao: |
Yes
|
| Kyawl: |
With this, my revenge is complete
All that remains is, as promised,
For you to be able to take your revenge,
To give birth to you
And give you physical form. |
| Duzell: |
Yes
However......
It may be that before you give me a body that
We've already encountered my enemy |
| Kyawl: |
What do you mean? |
| Duzell: |
That young knight you were talking to just now
|
| Duzell: |
He carried the sword of the one I hold as my enemy, Phelios
The holy sword Sidia......
The previous era's Phelios was one of the few humans who used holy magic
And was the only one
Able to wield that sword which is so full of holy magic
I want to verify whether that was Phelios or not. |
| Kyawl: |
How? |
| Duzell: |
By blood......
If I can get hold of a little of that young knight's blood, I'll be able to tell
And......
|
| Duzell: |
If it is indeed Phelios
I will use your claws to rend his body
I will use your fangs to drink his blood...... |
| Kyawl: |
Understood
As long as you promise not to lay a hand on that child |
| Duzell: |
The child......
Why?
|
| Kyawl: |
I can understand that child's feelings all too well
The pain of having a family member stolen from them
That child's soul is like mine
If this is the end of this matter......
|
| Kyawl: |
I must be struck down by that child's hand. |
| Duzell: |
......I don't understand |
| Darres: |
Hurry
If that whimsical girl's been hurt
That senile old man's gonna kill us!! |
|
*sound of horses hooves pounding the ground*
|
| Darres: |
Lady Ishtar |
| Rao: |
It's also sad about that kyawl but |
|
*tromp tromp* |
| Rao: |
Even so......
|
| Rao: |
Even so, it killed my father!
I can't forgive it!! |
| Ishtar: |
Yeah......
I understand
|
| Ishtar: |
Not to mention
Any way you look at this, that animal was strange.
Taking human form and speaking like that
Whatever the reason, it can't be ignored. |
| Ishtar: |
I'll help you out so
Make sure you get your revenge.
You're the only one who has that right. |
| Rao: |
?
Eh? Sir Knight
You smell nice; like a girl. |
| Ishtar: |
!
R... Really.......
|
| Rao: |
Sir Knight!! |
| Duzell: |
Holy magic!?
|
| Duzell: |
Are you Phelios afterall
In that case!! |
|
*horse snorts* |
| Darres: |
Lady Ishtar!!
|
|
*ZATSU (slashes the animal)
*blood pours out*
|
|
*THUD*
|
| Duzell: |
!!
It can't be......
This sort of thing...... |
| Kyawl: |
If this is the end of this matter, I...... |
| Duzell: |
That which I've done
Getting distracted by Holy Magic......
|
| Ishtar: |
The idiot's killed her! |
| Duzell: |
Some things I don't know still remain...... |
| Duzell: |
Getting distracting...... |
| Darres: |
J-just what are you saying!
Your useless at both magic and swordsmanship, yet do this sort of thing! |
| Ishtar: |
It's obvious isn't it
|
| Ishtar: |
That you'll come to save me.
I knew that. |
| Darres: |
That sort of thing! |
| Ishtar: |
Shh |
|
Mi- mi-
|
| Rao: |
Sir Knight! |
|
Mi-
*rustle rustle* |
| Duzell: |
Of all things, I......
In this helpless body
By one who might be Phelios |
|
*rustle rustle*
Mi- |
| Duzell: |
Am I to die by their hand......
|
| Duzell: |
But
Rather than that, why do my feet...... |
| Kit: |
Mi-
Mi- |
| Duzell: |
Seek for warmth......
Why do my eyes...... |
| Kit: |
Mi-
Mi-...
|
|
*katcha* (Darres draws his sword)
*sa* (Ishtar stops him) |
| Ishtar: |
I'm sorry, killing your mother like that......
But your mother was also wrong
I don't know the reason but (she killed) this Rao's father.......
Rao, do you hate this?
Do you want to kill it? |
|
*struggles*
|
| Rao: |
No
I feel so for it
It's crying because its mother was killed
It's the same as me |
| Ishtar: |
You're a good child
Therefore Darres,
Take this animal to the castle...... |
|
*chomp*
|
| Ishtar: |
Owwww
It bit me Darres!
I'll kill it!! |
| Darres: |
Lady Ishtar! |
| Ishtar: |
It's name is Duzell
|
| Duzell: |
As it happens
This girl wasn't Phelios afterall..... |
| Keld: |
............ |
| Duzell: |
But......
Make no mistake
She is one who carries his blood
That one will definitely be among this girl's relatives |
| Darres: |
Your Highness
Afterall, deciding to keep that animal aside
That name is......
|
| Ishtar: |
I see
In that case we'll make it Phelios
I didn't really care which one it was |
| Duzell: |
!! |
| Keld: |
!!
Darres, you stay out of this!
I'm absolutely in favour of Duzell!! |
| Ishtar: |
I see
We agree for the first time |
| Duzell: |
........ |
| Duzell: |
That's fine......
If I stay here, my magic will return over time
And eventually I should meet Phelios once again
And when that time comes...... |
