Seimaden Volume 3: Part 4 Translated by: Soujirou no Miko % = thoughts $ = flashbacks --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 133 Sherril: Thankyou, mister. Driver: That’s Berk’s castle over there. Sorry, you’ll have to go alone from here on. (% don’t know why anyone would want to go to that creepy place %) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 134 Sherril: % So that’s Berk’s castle! % Sherril: % What a dark and menacing place % --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 135 Sherril: % Hilda....she may be feeling the same dread as I am feeling now. Have patience, I am coming for you now. Hilda: grip Hilda: Oh! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 136 Berk: It’s a waste of your strength. I have given you this luxurious room. What are you dissatisfied about? Hilda: Baron! Hilda: I am not satisfied by anything here, because I can’t come and go of my own free will. I’ve had enough of feeling like a bird in a cage. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 137 Berk: A bird in a cage? Can’t be more fitting a description. Let me prepare a gold cage that will be more suitable for one such as you! Berk: I can just see you bursting into beauteous song. Hilda: My god! Hilda: It’s useless trying to have a logical conversation with you. Is this the way out? Berk: Oh, that’s the.... Hilda: Eyaaaah! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 138 Hilda: These are.... Berk: They’re speciemen! I simply cannot stand to see beauty change to ugliness by age. Hilda: I can’t believe it....he must be insane! Berk: One day, I will put you in here too. You will be crowned the queen of these passed beauties. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 139 Berk: % The wonderous being in pearl coloured robes, looking down at the mass of male bodies, like a saint. What a splendid picture that will make....% Berk: It’s a pity, but I can’t let you join them yet. Berk: Because of the power of that demon cannot be underestimated. Berk: Uggh..... Hilda: Baron? Berk: I’m....I’m fine! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 140 Berk: As for you, come with me. I have something very interesting to show you. Hilda: Where are you taking me? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 141 Berk: It is a very entertaining show. Very, very, entertaining indeed. Monster: Uwaaaah..... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 142 Hilda: Laures! Berk: It is admirable that he manages to hold out for so long. Because his demonic powers were sapped long ago by the silver demon grass shackles. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 143 Berk: Not to mention that he only has a sword for a weapon. I must see how much longer he would last. Hilda: I beg you, tell them to stop, this is too much! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 144 Berk: I love to watch the expression on his face when he fights. That cold savage strength. Berk: Vicious, majestic, but with surprising agility. Berk: Totally flawless, he is the very embodiment of “beauty” that steals a person’s soul. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 145 Berk: Yes--- Berk: He’s so pliant. With you as hostage, he doesn’t dare to disobey. Berk: Do you know? He is now helpless to do anything because of you. If I command him to, he will not refuse even death. Berk: How brave! Berk: Hohoho! Hilda: ---it’s because of ....me? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 146 Hilda: Laures, watch out! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 147 Monster: Aarrrrrgh.... Berk: That will be all for today! Hilda: Laures, Laures! Berk: Hilda, come with me. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 148 Hilda: % Why do you have to let yourself be humiliated because of me? % Jiji: Hurry up! Hilda: No! Hilda: Laures! Hilda: % If you use your powers, you can easily escape from here! % --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 149 Zadei: Have you gone nuts? Laures: Maybe.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 150 Zadei: To sink to this level for a woman! And you call yourself the Count of the demon world or some such. Zadei: I don’t get it! Zadei: Shit! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 151 Sherril: Should it be alright to get out now? Sherril: This....is this a castle? I’m getting more and more confused. Sherril: People say that it was taken over by demons. Looks like they were telling the truth. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 152 Sherril: Aaaah....! Sherril: % They.....they are not humans? % --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 153 Sherril: % Someone help me! % Sherril: % I can’t run anymore % Sherril: % My chest hurts when I run! % Sherril: %---my vision’s getting foggy....% --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 154 Tetei: This will be the fate of you guards, Tetei: (% In a mood that cannot get any worser %) Tetei: If you don’t stop staggering around in my line of sight. You give me an eye sore! Tetei: If you don’t get out of my sight, Tetei: I will crush your ugly bodies. I was just fretting over not having something to vent my anger on! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 155 Tetei: This is not a plane for humans like you. Sherril: An...angel! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 156 Sherril: It’s you who saved me just now, right? Tetei: % ---it’s raining! % Tetei: % Does she have a fever? Her body is burning. % --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 157 Sherril: Oh. Sherril: Angel! Tetei: Please don’t speak too loudly. We’ll be in a difficult situation if the demons in this castle respond to the sound of a human voice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 158 Sherril: Am I inside the castle? Tetei: Please leave quickly after drinking this. (% I don’t have the time to take care of you %) Sherril: What’s this? Tetei: A special soup I prepared myself. Don’t know if it suits the taste of humans. Sherril: swallows Sherril: delicious. Tetei: Sometimes he doesn’t eat anything, so I make this for him. Sherril: Oh! Sherril: then he must be someone very dear to you! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 159 Sherril: His eyes are so sad.... Sherril: Angel, if....if I may ask, why are you here in this castle? Are you imprisoned here, the same as Hilda? (% Is it something I shouldn’t ask? %) Tetei: % She is a friend of Hilda’s? Is that the reason---% --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 160 Sherril: Angel.. Tetei: If you can say so much, it must mean that you’ve recovered enough. Please hurry and leave! Tetei: This ribbon is yours. I have paid off my debt to you. Tetei: Go get ready. I’ll send you back to town. Sherril: No! Sherril: I came here to rescue my friend Hilda. This place is my only clue. How can I go back empty handed? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 161 Sherril: I won’t be of trouble for you. Sherril: Ah! Tetei: What can you do, in this weakened condition of yours? Sherril: I don’t want to let this rest while I haven’t accomplished anything---I.... Sherril: Although I am weak, there must be something that even a weakling can accomplish. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 162 Tetei: .... Tetei: People like you, are not called weaklings, Sherril. Tetei: Can’t take her back to town now. Tetei: % Laures! % --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 163 Berk: I pursue a beauty that is eternal. On the otherhand....the beauty of destroying beautiful things by the cruellest means possible also excites me greatly. Berk: Especially the kind of absolute beauty like yours, makes it harder for me to resist tormenting it in the cruellest way possibly. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 164 Berk: My lovely Laures! Berk: You are a true demon. Your wounds heal fast. Berk: I am happy, for soon I will be able to slice open that alabaster skin of yours all over again. Berk: let me shower you with all my love! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 165 Berk: Uggh.... Laures: Oh, is something wrong with your face? Berk: It’s nothing.... Berk: It’s only....a headache, that’s all. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 166 Berk: Ugggh.....uggggh...what’s happening to me? Tetei: You’ve begun the transformation to a demon. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 167 Tetei: In this environment so heavy with demonic “ki”, do you really think that the change would only affect the castle itself? Tetei: Just look at your guards, didn’t they turn into an interesting sight? Berk: % ---Teteiyusu! % Tetei: Your fate was decided from the first moment we made our deal. Berk: You....you tricked me! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 168 Tetei: No, this is the form you so coveted. You should’ve been born looking that way, baron. Berk: Ugggh...... Berk: Arrrrrggh...... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 169 Laures: Tetei: .... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 170 Tetei: Please go back into your silver demon grass prison, Laures. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 171 Laures: What are you thinking? Tetei: --- right now, Tetei: I cannot tell you anything. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 172 Tetei: % Have trust in me--- I’m doing all this for you! % --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to the Seimaden Translations
