Seimaden Volume 6: Part 5 Translated by: Soujirou no Miko % = thoughts $ = flashbacks --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 141 % Rodrique: It’ll be meaningless to continue on in this manner. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 142 % Rodrique: To fight with these countless demons, relying on the power of one person. There’s virtually no chance of winning. % Rodrique: The powerless people. People who have no powers. % Rodrique: Everybody is united in an effort to survive. % Rodrique: Even Kukuru is doing well, % Rodrique: --- but. % Rodrique: But it’s still not enough. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 143 % Rodrique: I’m only throwing my strength away if I continue on battling this way.

Keta: Okay. Kukuru: Here, this blanket’s for you. The weather turn freezing when the rain comes. Woman: Ah, you’re so kind. Man: Yo, you’re looking energetic today, Kukuru. Man: There were so many who were burnt to death. Kukuru: Some villagers were burnt so completely they don’t even have a blade of grass left. Those who made it here should count themselves lucky. Kukuru: Ah, I ‘ll leave the rest to you. Man: Wah! Man: What’s going on? Woman: Oh, Rodrique’s back. Woman: He’s the one who worships Rodrique the most! Look at how excited he is. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 145 Kukuru: I worship him so much. So strong-willed and king-hearted, don’t you think so, Keta? I wish I can become like him. Keta: Don’t be silly. There’s such a big difference. Kukuru: Aren’t you being too rotten? % Kukuru: Of course I know this. % Kukuru: Although I know it clear in my heart, but.... Kukuru: This is my special “Stamina” tea. Kukuru: You must be cold after being drenched by the rain. Drinking this will warm you up. Maruka: And so, he’ll have to spend more time on it, Rodrique? Rodrique: Yes, the injuires he suffered in the other dimension looks to be quite heavy, and therefore he’s being healed back in the demon world at the moment. Maruka: I heard that he was once the righthand man of the former king of the demon world. Maruka: We cannot delay. WE have to find him as quickly as possible. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 146 Maruka: You look so unhappy. Are you reluctant to do this? Don’t want to make use of the demon clans? Rodrique: It’s not that, only.... Rodrique: Kukuru! Kukuru: What...what are you talking about? To side yourself with the demons? We are fighting the demon race right now! Kukuru: Why do you ---- object! I object! Maruka: You are so shameless to eavesdrop on our conservation. Maruka: You speak of not using the demons, but how good do you think you are? You don’t stop to think that you’re being protected by others, and dare to voice your opinion. Rodrique: Kukuru! Maruka: Eyaah! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 147 Rodrique: Wait, Kukuru. % Kukuru: How could I not know my own worthlessness? % Kukuru: In spite of that, in spite of that, I still believed I could be of some help to Rodrique. % Kukuru: I don’t want to be trash that doesn’t know how to do anything, doesn’t know how to help! Rodrique: Kukuru. Kukuru: Don’t follow me, stupid! Kukuru: I know I’m nothing but worthless, so.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 148 Rodrique: Ho, you give me something that nobody can match. You don’t seem to understand that at all. Kukuru: Rodrique? Kukuru: I’m only a child. I can’t join in the battle, and dwill only be of trouble for you. Rodrique: But no matter what the situation, you maintained your faith in me, and followed me. Rodrique: There’s nothing that makes me happier. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 149 Kukuru: Rodrique! Kukuru: I....I want so much to be strong, to be very very strong! Kukuru: Just like you... Rodrique: You will, Kukuru.

Everybody pack your things and follow Maruka to another shelter. Kukuru: Wait, Ryuto! Ryuto: Kukuru, you need to leave now too! Kukuru: But what about Hilda? She’s so badly injured that she can’t move. Kukuru: Also, where did Rodrique run off to? I can’t believe he chose this time to be away. Ryuto: He’s in the neighboring villages, someone has already been sent to fetch him. I’m sure he’ll be back soon. Don’t worry! Leave Hilda to Rodrique. Ryuto: Ah, wait a moment, Kukuru. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 152 % Kukuru: You’ve got to be joking! How could I abandon Hilda in such a dangerous place? % Kukuru: At least until Rodrique gets back. % Kukuru: I have to protect Hilda well. % Kukuru: Until Rodrique gets back. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 153 % Karoun: Yes, make haste, Rodrique. % Karoun: Come back and witness...the oncoming tragedy. % Kukuru: Is she still breathing? % Kukuru: Now that everybody’s already left, this place is uncomfortably quiet.

Kukuru: Heyaah --- % Kukuru: No way! I can’t get frightened. % Kukuru: I already said I would protect Hilda, I can’t go back on my words. % Kukuru: That.....that is...? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 157 Kukuru: You didn’t leave, Karoun? Kukuru: Hurry, come and help me to get Hilda.... Karoun: Aren’t they cute? Karoun: They’re my pets. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 158 % Kukuru: --- You have to be in time! Rodrique: This “ki”.... Rodrique: Can it be that Laures is around? Kukuru: Don’t come near, you bastard! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 159 Karoun: Not bad, with just a fruit knife. How courageous you are! Kukuru: Who the hell are you! Kukuru: Pretending to be his friend to suck up to Rodrique, what’s your plan? You traitor! Kukuru: Hilda! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 160 Kukuru: Aaah! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 161 Laures: What is this all about, Karoun? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 162 Laures: Why do you try to harm Hilda? Laures: If you don’t give me a good reason, don’t blame me if I do something I might regret. Karoun: I don’t mean to kill her. Karoun: I still need a companion like you, why would I do such a thing? Karoun: Furthermore, Laures, Isn’t she already safe in your hands? Don’t worry, you’ll only need to do as I say. I’ll resurrect her. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 163 Karoun: I only feel that her hatred towards you is still not quite enough. Rodrique: ! Karoun: So --- % Karoun: Hurry and take her out of here! % Karoun: I will follow later. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 164 Karoun: Until then, you can enjoy your little meeting with her. Karoun: But, before you do that, Karoun: please kill him first, Laures. Because he has seen through my disguise. It’ll be rather inconvenient. Karoun: Right in front of Rodrique? Rodrique: !? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 165 Karoun: Make it as agonizing as possible. Rodrique: Kukuru! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 167 Rodrique: Kukuru, hang in there! Kukuru: I’m no good. I couldn’t be like you at all. But, I’ve already tried my best. Kukuru: ! Kukuru: Haha, dammit. Without my left hand, I can’t touch you, Rodrique.... Rodrique: Don’t speak, you’ll be alright. Kukuru: There’s no need, Rodrique. Don’t use your healing on me. I don’t need it anymore. Kukuru: Hm, but, I hate pain. Please lend me some strength. Kukuru: I’m such a coward. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 168 Kukuru: Can even someone like me become as powerful as you? Kukuru: Ah.... Rodrique: Kukuru! Rodrique: Kukuru! Kukuru! Rodrique: Why? Why did this happen? Your life was just beginning. Rodrique: Why?
