Seimaden Volume 7: Part 4 Translated by: Tae-chan % = thoughts $ = flashbacks --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 109 1 Karoun: A good sacrifice was obtained for you to be be born into the earth. 3 Karoun: Yes --- Just a little more patience, Taitan. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 110 At the Palace of Hades 3 Iria: % Laures is playing the long harp...! 4 Iria: % It seems like it’s been a long time since I heard that sound --- recently... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 111 2 Iria: Laures 3 Iria: % Yes, recently Laures hasn’t been adjusting well. He’s been secluded away, so being happy would be strange, but even so this is unusual. The Korosu’s guard has been strangely strict and the castle’s atmosphere has been strange--- 4 Iria: % What is... this!! Iria: Laure... 5 Iria: % My older brother Karoun... 6 Iria: O...oops, that’s right my brother told me I musn’t come here. It wouldn’t be good if he discovered me. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 112 1 Karoun: Are you okay? Can you stand? Laures: It isn’t important. Don’t touch me. 3 Karoun: A strong person. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 113 1 Iria: % Where on earth are they going? Wow... there was an underground road...! 3 Iria: % What... this unknown “ki”, this sort of ominous “ki” I haven’t felt before. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 114 1 Iria: % Th... that can’t be! No, there’s no mistake. 3 Iria: % The legendary Taitan! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 115 1 Iria: % The legendary --- monster said to destroy everything in this world. It is possible to rear it by means of the dead’s death agony “ki” and the strongest demon. I heard this from someone in the past. 2 Iria: % The dead’s death agony... pain --- many of them... 3 Iria: % The demon amongst demons... the strongest demon... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 116 1 Iria: % Someone... said ---- Yes it was my brother! I heard it from my brother himself... It couldn’t be... My brother captured Laures for the sake of creating that----? 2 Iria: % What on earth ---- what on earth is he thinking? Brother... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 117 3 Karoun: You thought to manipulate the threads didn’t you. It seems that playing the harp was not crazy at all. 4 Karoun: In order to follow the bit of demon power taken from it - to take the most effective way with the minimum of demon power ---- truthfully it is very like you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 118 1 Laures: It isn’t a matter of knowing whatever will happen to this world. But --- when this thing starts to move, Hilda will probably not be safe. 2 Karoun: Therefore will you just let her die without trying to help? 3 Karoun: The “flower” that I am guarding is Hilda’s life which imitates the form of a flower. These flowers will scatter someday, but a seed will remain here and be grown again. This includes your beloved woman and her soul will continue forever---- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 119 1 Karoun: But I can completely annihilate this flower. 2 Karoun: If that happens, she won’t even be able to be reborn any more. Your Erise will be lost forever. --- In that case, will you refuse to cooperate with me? 3 Iria: % Brother...! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 120 2 Laures: Karoun, what is it that you wish for? 3 Karoun: ----- The destruction of “everything”. 4 Karoun: The end to all that is living, together with the universal purification of souls... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 121 1 Gerumu: Watch it. 2 Gerumu: Oh... Iria, I’m glad I caught you. Where has Laures-sama been ----- !? What’s wrong, Iria? 4 Taitan: The destruction of everything. The conclusion ---- The conclusion to all living things. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 122 1 Gerumu: Iria. Iria: Aaa.. aaaaa, uhh... 2 Iria: % Such a thing... such a dreadful thing... my kind older brother is doing such a thing... 3 Iria: Aaaa... aaaaaa..... 4 Gerumu: Won’t you tell me what’s wrong!? Iria... Iria!? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 123 2 Iria: % I musn’t let that dreadful monster be released. 3 Iria: Brother. Iria: % I can’t let my brother do such a dreadful thing. 4 Karoun: You’re a bad child. I did tell you not to come here, didn’t I. 5 Iria: But if I obeyed I’d never get to see my older brother. And I even brought my older brother’s favourite “Kuku” sake. 6 Iria: The “Flower of Life” garden bed is always pretty isn’t it... Iria: % Even if I do something treacherous--- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 124 1 Karoun: If pure life energy is so beautiful, then why do those that comprehend that defile it... 2 Karoun: There is no end to the desire, destruction and massacre. The demon world and the human world are all the same. The world is covered in those sorts of things. 3 Karoun: But, if everything is returned to nothing, I can construct it all from a new first step...! 4 Karoun: I was born for that purpose, I’ve recently come to think. Iria: Brother... Iria: % Does he know that I saw----? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 125 1 Karoun: It’s very lonely... But I cannot ignore the “will” that has been born inside me. 2 Karoun: Because it is my reason for existence. 4 Karoun: The only one for whom I can allow feelings in my heart is you, Iria. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 126 1 Karoun: You must never betray me. Promise me that you’ll never... 2 Karoun: Iria...! Page 127 3 Iria: % The flower of life of Laures’ beloved woman.... Now that I have it ---- I can give you freedom...! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 129 1 Iria: % I’ve been surrounded... 2 Iria: Here, Piki, I’m entrusting you with this. Piki: Piki? 3 Piki: Piki! Iria: Take it to Laures at the Palace of Hades. 5 Iria: Hurry, fly quickly Piki while I distract these guys! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 130 1 Gerumu: I’m guarding your back. Take care! 2 Iria: Gerumu...! 3 Gerumu: Idiot, don’t get distracted! Watch ou.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 131 1 Gerumu: Iria! 2 Iria: 3 Gerumu: IRIA------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 132 2 Karoun: So Iria’s circumstances are unknown---- ?.... Korosu-Beta: Yes... to have fallen from that height, perhaps--- 3 Karoun: Then what became of the flower? Korosu-Beta: Yes, We are applying all of our efforts into investigating it’s whereabouts, but... 4 Korosu-Beta: ... as of yet---- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 133 1 Karoun: Excuse me. Continue if you please. Korosu-Beta: Certainly. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 134 3 Korosu-Beta: Karoun-sama, if he becomes any more violently exhausted than this, then the Demon Emperor's life may be drained... Karoun: Continue. 4 Korosu(?): Having lost our trump card, it would be better to make use of him before he realizes. Before a counter-attack is launched... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 135 1 Karoun: I don’t care. Give the remains of his power --- give all of his life to the Taitan! Because there already exists a substitute for him. 4 Korosu: The Taitan gave off pain for some reason...! Korosu2: What!? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 136 1 Karoun: % It shouldn’t move so strangely...! 2 Karoun: % It shouldn’t be complete yet. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 138 1 Karoun: % Laures...! 2 Korosu: Karoun-sama. Karoun: Let go of me! 3 Karoun: How the hell did you... 4 Larues: I filled his entire body with thread together with demon energy. There was a considerable art to it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 139 1 Karoun: We cannot use our trump card anymore, it seems. 2 Laures: You guessed the matter correctly. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to The Seimaden Translations
