Seimaden Volume 3: Part 2 Translated by: Soujirou no Miko --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 54 $ Maruka: Rodrique! Rodrique! $ $ Maruka: You have to live on, Rodrique. $ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 55 $ Maruka: You have to carry out the unfinished will of the Azaru. $ $ Rodrique: Maruka! $ $ Maruka: Promise me! $ $ Maruka: I will give my life for you. $ $ Maruka: Promise me.... $ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 56 $ Maruka: I will always be close to you. $ Maruka: % Rodrique, you were the one chosen among thousands to be the Son of Azaru. % Rodrique: You’re really Maruka? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 57 Rodrique: How did you become like this? Maruka: It’s because the time for you to become leader of the Azaru clan is near. That is why I turned into a spiritual form to watch over you. Maruka: However --- my spiritual powers are waning day by day. If this continues, I fear I won’t live to see the fulfillment of the Azaru’s dying wish. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 58 Maruka: If I were to leave, who’ll see you onto the right path? It is my duty to secretly advise you, and this child is the vessel for my soul. Asubaru: Shit! Rodrique: But then.... Rodrique: But then, where’s Rabi? Where’s Rabi’s true self? Rodrique: Rabi had nothing to do with Azaru! Maruka: He and I are one. I’m Maruka, I’m also Rabi. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 59 Asubaru: In other words, she forcefully took control of his body. Using all means possible to obtain a desired goal, that is always their way of doing things. Maruka: Watch your words, Asubaru. Maruka: What does the soul of one small child matter? If we want to defeat the demons and create a happier world for the people, some sacrifices are expected. Maruka: If you don’t even realise that, how can you talk of saving the world, Rodrique? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 60 Maruka: You should understand that, right? Maruka: ! Maruka: Rodrique! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 61 Rodrique: Asubaru. Maruka: How can you take on the enormous responsibility if you are swayed by such insignificant details? Don’t forget, we have the dying wish of the Azarus to carry out. It is the reason why you live till this day. Maruka: Your life does not belong to you alone. You are living on top of the bones of the Azaru people. Maruka: Do you think I’ll allow you to forget that, leave you free to do whatever your heart wills? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 62 Asubaru: Bullshit, Rodrique, don’t listen to her. Maruka: Shut your mouth, you outcast! Maruka: Trash like you will never understand the pain in my heart! Asubaru: I don't want to understand. The spirits of the dead should be good and stay dead. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 63 Asubaru: You tried to manipulate Rod like a puppet. Not only that, you tried to destroy anyone who got in your way, even Hilda. Rodrique: Is that....true? Maruka: .... Maruka: I guess it’s no use to try to lie to you. He’s right. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 64 Maruka: But it’s all your fault that things have become like this, Maruka: Becuase you wanted to ignore your destiny as the saviour, and be with that woman. Consider it retribution for your willful behaviour. Asubaru: Do you know what you’re saying? You want him to abandon all human emotion, just like that? Maruka: Wait, Rodrique! Maruka: ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 65 Maruka: Aaaaaah! Maruka: Rodrique! Asubaru: Don’t bother rescuing people like her. It doesn’t matter whether she lives or dies! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 66 Maruka: Eeyaaaah! Maruka: Rodrique! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 67 Rodrique: % I don’t know....% Rodrique: % I don’t know what to believe anymore! % --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 68 Maruka: Rodrique! Maruka: Remember....the situation during the last moments of the Azaru village! Maruka: Remember the hopes the people passed on to you. You have to become the saviour of this world. It is somethinig only you can do. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 69 Maruka: What are you in doubt about? There’s only one path meant for you. Maruka: It is the same for me too. WE are both bound under the destiny of the Azaru. Maruka: You cannot runaway, Maruka: you can never run away! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 70 Maruka: See those lights, Rodrique? They are the weak who have come on hearing your name. Maruka: The race of the Azaru is the race ordained by heaven. You cannot run from the responsibility to protect them. Because of this, you have to seek out your destined enmey Laures and reclaim the Sword of Azaru. Maruka: You have to rise above them, become their all-powerful leader. Maruka: The Sword of Azaru is the sword of the conqueror. Maruka: Rise to become the king who will shatter the chaos to bring peace! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 71 Maruka: You don’t have to worry about anything, I’ll be advising you. Rodrique: % Can a man like me % Rodrique: % become their all-powerful leader? % Maruka: Nothing will go wrong if you listen to me and do as I say. Maruka: Good, that’s a good boy now. Maruka: You were always an obedient little boy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 72 Rodrique: % When did I last feel such comforting warmth....so far away....Hilda....% Asubaru: % That idiot! How could he bind himself in chains! % --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 73 Asubaru: % I won’t let you become Mar....no, Kaimei's puppet! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 74 Tetei: % Wish so much....% Tetei: % That this rain can wash away everything. % Tetei: % At the same time wash away....this seal of Zadei’s which brings such fiery agony. % --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 75 Zadei: Hn! Zadei: Laures! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 76 Zadei: Isn’t Laures here? Zadei: Zadei is here to see you, hurry and get out here! Zadei: I will destroy this town if you don’t come out immediately. Can you bear to see your woman killed like this? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 77 Laures: Imbecile! Laures: Your recklessness have not changed from the last time I saw you. Zadei: I’ve missed you, Laures! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 78 Laures: To give me such a warm welcome at our first meeting in all those years. How extremely typical of you. Zadei: I was getting cozy in that icy prison your built for me, too cozy that I didn’t dare to stay for too long. I will repay you well for your generosity. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 79 Laures: You are too kind. Zadei: You can quit being smart. I wonder how your precious princess is faring at the moment? Laures: % ---! % Zadei: Even one as powerful as you need to stall for time? Looks like you’re getting slack. Zadei: And acting like you’ve got all the time in the world.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 80 Zadei: Hey! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 81 Hilda: Huh? Tetei: Please accept this, Hilda Hildagaruda, I especially picked the prettiest flowers to make this bouquet for you. Hilda: !? Hilda: Aaaaah! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 82 Tetei: What are you going to do, Hilda? Tetei: You are only an ordinary wench, totally insignificant. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 83 Hilda: Who are you? What do you want? Tetei: All the trouble began with you. If you hadn’t come back, everything would have been fine....if only.... Tetei: If only you ceased to exist, he would --- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 84 Tetei: In that case, I will blast you along with your soul to dust so you cannot reincarnate again. Tetei: Erise! Hilda: Erise? I’ve heard that name before, who is she? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 85 Tetei: Laures’s queen! Tetei: And you, are just a vessel used for her reincarnation. Tetei: So don’t go thinking so highly of yourself. The only reason he loves you is that he misses an old passion. Hilda: Aaaaah! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 86 Laures: Teteiyusu! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 87 Tetei: Laures.... Laures: .... Laures: Where did you take Hilda? Laures: Where is she being held? Laures: Teteiyusu! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 88 Zadei: Shit! He’s quite fast. Tetei: Zadei, your arm.... Zadei: It’s nothing, it’ll grow back in a few moments. Zadei: Run, you’ll only be in the way here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 89 Tetei: But.... Tetei: % --- he’s protecting me? % Zadei: I’m saying that you’re a burden. Go back and wait for me at Berk! Laures: Teteiyusu.... Laures: I say, Teteiyusu.... Laures: I trust you still remember what I said in the past? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 90 $ Laures: No matter who betrays my trust, he will not be forgiven easily --- $ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 91 Tetei: I know what you’re like, Tetei: Better than anyone. Zadei: How about it? Looks like we’re going to stand around all day and bathe in the poison of the human world, or we can have a fight to the finish. Either is fine with me. Laures: That is not necessary. Where’s Hilda? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 92 Zadei: Berk Castle. Zadei: Come, Laures, come to Berk’s castle, Zadei: It’s nice and comfortable there, which is expected, because after all, it is where you will sleep forever! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 93 Berk: Ha.... Berk: Hahaha.... Berk: Soon, Berk: He’ll be arriving soon. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 94 Berk: A beautiful demon, Berk: I am going to hold in my arms.... Berk: Ho....hohoho.... Berk: Hahahaha.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to the Seimaden Translations
