Seimaden Volume 8: Part 1 Translated by: Tae-chan % = thoughts $ = flashbacks --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 1 Someone who relates to true darkness is someone who relates to desolate darkness. Resembling a flame that burns red, this world filled with anger and scorn I shall wake up. Eyes that have become filled with various pain look without twinkling at white corpses lined up like mountains. Demon gods of darkness continue to freeze hearts. Now, what will you think-----? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 5 1 Asubaru: % That time was the first time I saw you.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 6 5 Asubaru: Aaah.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 7 1 Asubaru: “--- Ah, that’s right” That time I understood. 2 Asubaru: % This was the beginning of all my pain, I thought. 3 Asubaru: % My fate which I could not conflict with. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 8 2 Rabi/Maruka: What on earth was that “ki” which is occupying the above ground? Dark haired man: It’s kinda creepy..! 3 Asubaru: % Later on I was to know the name of the beautiful demon with the shining black hair ---- Laures. You can so easily destroy this world, like the way you made the Azeru’s village collapse with your power. 4 Asubaru: % And --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 9 1 Rod: Asubaru!? What the hell are you doing? This demon ki...!? 2 Asubaru: Don’t get any closer Rod! Rod: What are you saying? It seems as though there’s a strong demon very close, so it’s dangerous to be here.... 3 Rod: % --- It... couldn’t be... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 10 1 Asubaru: You have just begun to walk with your own legs. That’s good, Rod. Asubaru: % For the sake of that one person who I must protect, you will make this justifiable. Asubaru: Live strongly. Don’t be shaken by anything like fate. Rod: Asubaru....!? Asubaru: I can deal with this by myself. I don’t want to make you do it. 2 Asubaru: % If it’s for the sake of protecting that one person, I can sacrifice everything. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 11 1 Rod: Asubaru! 2 Asubaru: % I don’t want to acknowledge it, but as annoying as it is, we are alike. 4 Rabi/Maruka: A... subaru!? This “ki” is Asubaru!? Rabi/Maruka: % It’s the same wavelength as that which a strong demon holds. But something is different to that of a demon. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 12 1 Rabi/Maruka: That man ---- could he be... 2 Rabi/Maruka: ----- could he be... 4 Iria: Really, Gerumu, there are beginners on board, so be a little more careful flying! Gerumu: The air currents are very turbulent in this area. You have to hang on! 5 Iria screams. Iria: Gerumu!!! Gerumu: I said it’s not my fault! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 13 1 Hilda: I’m fine. I can handle this. (I’ve trained with dancing). 2 Iria: That’s right. You’ll be able to see Laures, so you have to be untiring. 3 Hilda (blushing): Yeah. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 14 2 Iria: Gerumu~ 3 Gerumu: Yeah, yeah. Whaddya want? 4 Iria: Lend me your goggles for a moment. The wind is hurting my eyes. Gerumu: Waaaa, I said not to shake the dragon, it’s dangerous! 5 Gerumu: Iria? 6 Iria: So now Laures will be happy so it’s great. 7 Iria: Hey, look, look! Gerumu: You... 8 Iria: Do ya reckon it suits me? Hilda: Uh... uh-huh... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 15 1 Gerumu: Man, what a personality. 2 Gerumu: From here on we’re entering the demon dimension, so hang on tight! 3 Gerumu: When we go through that we’ll be flying above the Palace of Hades. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 16 1 Hilda: % The Palace of Hades ---- that’s where Laures is. I’ll be able to see Laures very soon---! 2 Hilda: % Very soon. 3 Ratoku: Laures-sama ---- what is it? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 17 1 Laures: Beautiful... Ratoku: Huhhhhhh? 2 Laures: With refined elelance and radiance overflowing with life power. This “flower” certainly belongs to that woman. Demon 1: What’s he talking about? Demon 2: The flower of life. That’s probably what he means. Ratoku: He’s not talking about me? 3 Laures coughs. 4 Laures: I have to return this to Hilda right away, so that she is not used by anyone else any more. This radiance is a sacred area that no one else must defile. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 18-19 2 Laures: ---------! 3 Ratoku: Laures-sama. Um ------- I can do the preparations for departure. Please hurry... 4 Ratoku: !? 5 Laures: Incoming...! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 20 2 Demon1: A powerful “ki”! Please get back, Laures-sama! We will deal with this.... Demon2: Wh... what the hell is that...!? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 22 2 Laures: Who are you? 3 Laures: ! We’ve met before. I remember that face. 5 Laures: You ---- are not human? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 23 1 Asubaru: ! .... I am human! ---- half of me is. 2 Asubaru: But the other half.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 24 3 Laures: % This spell----!? Page 26 Asubaru: This power --- when I was very young, it was pretty much a curse. But ---- now I’m thankful for it. Perhaps I have a unique power that will rise above you.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 27 1 Laures: ---- You are that.... Azaru woman---- Paela’s... that woman’s child....? 2 Asubaru: It’s a bit late to start introducing ourselves isn’t it? 3 Gerumu: We’ve arrived. That’s the Palace of Hades. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 30 1 Asubaru: ! % --- Hilda...!? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 31 Hilda: LAURES! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 32-33 1 Iria: ! Hilda, what are you doing!? Underneath is the labyrinth, which you can never get out of once you’ve fallen into it! 2 Iria: Hildaaaaa 4 Hilda: I’m not afaid of that sort of thing, whether it’s a labyrinth or never being able to get out of it. 5 Hilda: Compared to the fear of losing you, nothing is scary ------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 34-35 3 Hilda: % Whatever happens to you who I cannot be apart from... Even if I’m trying to hate you, my heart continues to be deeply, strongly attracted to you. With my power which cannot hold that back any more, this strong passion I will allow to flow---- 4 Iria: Hilda! Laures! Hilda: % ----- I already knew ---- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 36 1 Gerumu: Stop it, Hilda, or you’ll fall too! Iria: No, let me go! Let me go! 2 Iria: Nooooo..... 3 Hilda: % When I was very young, I met those kind eyes in a forest. At that time I was loved by those eyes. 4 $ Hilda: Who are you...? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 37 1 Hilda: % At that time, I realized. 2 Hilda: % I know you. Always --- Always from the past ---- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 38 3 Rabi/Maruka: That man’s power.... that is... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 39 1 Rabi/Maruka: That time... the unpure child... that we got rid of...! 2 Rodrique: I’m sorry for having kept you waiting. 3 Rabi/Maruka: Your expression... is different. Has something upset you? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 40 2 Rabi/Maruka: % --- My father’s soul is not here any more? 3 Rabi/Maruka: You are the one chosen to be a god. Azeru’s true blood----- the latent ability to be able to be free of him once you have taken him inside yourself is something only Kaimei should be able to do. 4 Rabi/Maruka: ! 5 Rod: On the way here I have been doing a lot of thinking about the manner in which to repay my debt to you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 41 1 Rod: This is the last time. For now, I will obey you. At this point surely it will happen that I will choose to separate from you. If you are regretting this , then please take Kaimei back again with this sword. 2 Rabi/Maruka: But if I do you will die. 3 Rod: The choice is yours, Maruka. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to The Seimaden Translations
