02x24 - City of Humans

[bunniefuu]

Gu: Whoa...

Gu: Look at all of 'em.

Gu: It's like a gathering of armies from around the Holy See.

G: This whole place feels on edge.

G: The b*ttlefield smell that's so familiar...

Title,: City of Humans

Gu: Hold it, girl.

S: Do you mean me?

Gu: What is that outfit?

F: Teacher?!

Gu: I forgot...

Gu: This is a fortress of the Holy See.

Gu: You cannot enter with such outrageous clothing!

Gu: Sir, this costume is for our troupe...

Gu: A traveling troupe?

Gu: But that doesn't excuse it!

S: Come, let us go.

Gu: Are you really sure that was a good idea?

Gu: She's obviously a witch.

Gu: Everyone is staring, right?

Gu: Come with me!

S: What?

Gu: That outfit's a bad idea.

Gu: You need to buy some normal clothes.

S: This is normal for me.

Gu: Why are you being so stubborn?

Gi: Schierke!

Gu: Sorry...

S: You're mean.

Gu: Who cares about your stupid hat?

Gu: It's your fault for not listening!

Gu: Idiot!

Gu: If you wander around in that stuff...

Gu: Jeez, what is that witch thinking?

Gi: Hey, Droppy! What the hell?!

P: It's "Dropey," Ivalera.

Gi: Those robes and hat were handmade by Flora.

Gi: Everything else she had b*rned!

P: Handmade?

Gi: They're all she has left!

Gi: You really are a monkey, making a girl cry!

Gi: Schierke, wait!

Gu: Isidoro...

G: We'll find an inn.

G: Go bring her back.

P: I'll go with you.

I: Schierke!

: Hey, hello?

I: Where are you going?

S: Somewhere without anyone else.

Gi: What is that?

Gi: Wait, what the hell are you?

Gi: That is his body.

Gi: Schierke!

S: Move away for a second.

Gu: Schierke, what happened?

Apostle,Gu: It hurts! It hurts!

Apostle,Gu: Let me down... Let me down!

Apostle,Gu: Release me...

Gu: Who are you?

S: What offense caused these people to be hanged here?

Gu: This isn't a place for kids.

Gu: Well, I guess it's okay...

Gu: These are Kushans.

Gu: Well, Kushans or not,

Gu: they were slaves that resided in Vritannis.

S: Slaves...

Gu: Vritannis is a merchant city.

Gu: To other nations in the Holy See, Kushans are religious enemies.

Gu: But here, they're more.

Gu: They're a product.

Gu: But with this huge w*r,

Gu: we can't keep doing that, anymore.

Gu: Since Vritannis has been honored by becoming a Holy See naval base.

Gu: So the city hanged them, as sacrifices to morale.

S: That's the reason?

S: People will take each other's lives for such a reason?

S: Displaying the bodies of the dead is a desecration.

S: It is not to be allowed.

S: Now I shall take them down to cremate.

S: You will help me.

S: Understood?

Gi: Hey, Schierke... Let's go back.

Gi: The sun's setting!

Gi: Come on...

Gi: You'd need more than a forest's worth of trees to build all these!

S: What are they trying to do,

: making something so large?

S: So many people and things,

S: gathered merely for bloodshed?

S: This is the world to which they belong.

S: Mistress, the voices of the spirits are very hard to hear here,

S: drowned out by human voices.

Gu: The wharf? You're sure?

Gu: Yeah.

Gu: You with her? Then, you should hurry.

Gu: That place isn't safe after dark.

Gu: Armed merchant ships, basically pirates,

Gu: weigh anchor there.

Gu: She could be kidnapped and sold to a foreign country...

Gu: Wait!

Gu: Are you looking for the witch?

Gu: I'm searching for someone.

Gu: If you know something about the witch, would you tell me?

Gu: Why is someone like you looking for a witch?

Gu: I know!

Gu: You plan to catch and hand her over to the government,

Gu: so you can get the glory!

Gu: Glory?

Gu: Don't try and fool me!

Gu: The way you're dressed, you're some noble's son, squiring for a knight!

Gu: You want glory, so you get promoted to full knighthood.

: That's so petty!

: Hey...

Gu: I'll stop you!

Gu: Wait! Listen to me!

Gi: Schierke, I'm hungry.

Gi: Let's go back.

Gi: Wow!

Gi: So witches are real, huh?

Gi: You're a witch, right?

S: Do I look like one?

Gi: Yep.

Gi: You have a staff and pointy hat.

Gi: And you talk to animals.

Gi: Also, there's her.

Gi: A girl accompanied by a fairy could only be a witch.

Gi: You can see me.

S: She is...

Gi: And then, your actions back there.

Gi: The Kushans that were hung up,

Gi: you released them, didn't you?

S: You were able to see that?

Gi: It was really cool,

Gi: the way you bossed those grown-ups around!

Gi: Was that magic?

S: It wasn't anything that special...

Gi: But don't witches live in the mountains or forests?

Gi: What are you doing here?

S: I'm on a journey.

Gi: Alone?

Gi: Or with her, just you two?

S: No.

S: Ever since we came to this city, a lot has happened.

Gi: It's pretty hard, isn't it?

Gi: Being different than others.

S: Are you from this city?

Gi: Nope.

Gi: A lot has happened to me, as well.

Gi: Let's say, hypothetically...

Gi: There was an ugly duckling.

S: Duckling?

Gi: Oh, I know that fairytale!

Gi: The ugly duckling was different from everyone, so she was left out.

Gi: Because the ugly duckling was...

Gi: A swan!

Gi: A black kite!

Gi: One day a m*rder of mean crows att*cked the duck's nest.

Gi: The weak ducklings couldn't fly away,

Gi: and they were all captured.

Gi: The black kite was convinced she was just a weird duckling,

Gi: and didn't know how to fly.

Gi: So she was also captured.

Gi: But then, it was the king of birds who saved them.

Gi: The white hawk.

S: Hawk?

Gi: The white hawk brought dragons in his service,

Gi: and they quickly defeated the crows.

Gi: Black kites and hawks are related to one another.

Gi: For the first time, the young black kite met someone similar,

Gi: and she realized she could fly.

Gi: And then what happened?

Gi: The white hawk

Gi: defeated the crows that were rampaging through the country.

Gi: Not only were there dragons by its side, but there were ducklings,

: and even stray crows that had turned to good.

Gi: The black kite was special.

Gi: Only she could fly in the same sky as the white hawk.

Gi: Only she could feel the same wind.

Gi: What a romantic situation!

Gi: But then, one day...

Gi: The duckling princess, whom the king of crows had captured,

Gi: was saved by the white hawk.

Gi: The cowardly ducklings wanted to marry her to the white hawk,

Gi: to strengthen their bond to the powerful hawk.

: Oh, my!

Gi: The black kite disliked this.

Gi: So she tried to make herself feel better by looking at the sea.

Gi: And then? And then?

Gi: The black kite met a young owl from the forest,

: who was surrounded by gulls.

Gi: The black kite thought to herself

: that even though the young owl was surrounded by many gulls,

Gi: she looked a bit lonely...

Gi: "We're kind of similar.

Gi: I wonder if we can be friends," she thought.

S: The—

: The owl felt the same way...

Gi: Hey, do you have someone who understands you?

S: Everyone I travel with is normal,

S: so when it comes to witches...

S: They're in harmony.

Gi: It's love, isn't it?

Gi: It's love!

S: I-It isn't like that!

S: Just, as a grown-up, he's been watching out for me.

S: And so, I find myself letting him spoil me.

Gu: Stop right there, brats!

Gi: Who are they?

Gi: Slavers? Pirates?

S: Those are...

Gu: You won't get away!

Gu: You wanna make it hard, huh?

Gu: Stop crying!

Gu: There's no place to run, anyway!

S: Stop this at once.

S: Do not make me witness further ugliness today.

Gu: Girl, you think you're a witch or something, dressed like that?

S: I do.

Gi: And you are pirates, aren't you?

Gi: Pirates!

Gi: You plan to kidnap those kids and sell them!

Gu: These are Kushan kids, whose parents were hanged!

Gu: That's why we can't leave them in the city.

Gi: My, maybe this place deserves to be put to the torch.

S: To a witch such as I, city law and merchant logic mean nothing.

Gi: Girl, if you talk back to us, you'll join—

Gi: Huh?

Gu: Hey, what's wrong?

Gu: I... I can't move!

Gi: Amazing.

Gi: Magic? Was that magic?

S: J-Just a hypnotic suggestion!

Gu: What did you do, girl?!

Gu: If you don't let me move again, I'll b*at—

Gu: What?

Gu: I knew this was going to happen...

S: Isidoro?

Gi: Is that the one?

S: Definitely not.

Gu: Hey, pirates!

Gu: Enough of your crimes!

Gu: Don't try and say you're gathering these kids for a picnic!

Gu: Pathetic!

Gu: You stupid brat!

Gu: I did that without thinking.

Gu: It's the first time I've cut someone down...

Gu: Now that we've seen our friend's blood...

S: Isidoro!

Gu: Girl, stay out of this,

Gu: unless you wanna get hurt.

: At this rate...

Gu: Stop. Don't use that.

Gu: Wait... Why are you so mad?

Gi: That isn't it.

Gi: He wants to conceal what you are.

Gi: Isn't that nice of him?

Gi: You can do it, monkey!

S: She can hear our telepathic conversation?

Gi: Wow! Wow!

Gi: He's fighting grown-ups!

S: But eventually, they'll catch him.

Gu: All the inns are full...

Gu: Guts?

Gu: Throw down your w*apon, and we won't k*ll you.

Gu: We'll just b*at you half to death and hang you from the mast for a day...

Gu: What's your problem? Butt in and you'll get hurt.

Gi: Hey, there.

Gu: Y-You're...

Gu: It seems you're helping my comrade.

Gu: I shall join you!

Gu: You wanna fight?

Gu: Wow...

Gu: He's...

Gu: He's slaughtering them without hesitation.

Gu: That's the problem with kids.

Gu: Around adults, they don't know their place.

Gu: Captain!

Gi: Definitely a pirate!

Gu: Listen up, kids.

Gu: The world of adults has stern rules.

Gu: And if you break them, you need to be punished a little.

Gu: I thought pirates had more spine!

Gu: Not bad...

Gu: The standard swordsmanship of a noble.

Gu: But...

Gu: Wait!

Gu: Take this.

Gu: You shouldn't underestimate grown-ups, little boy.

Gu: Now, how will you pay for all this mess?

Gu: Time for the main act...

Gu: The opener can get lost.

Gu: He's...

Gu: You can keep up with me on a ship?

Gu: Of course.

Gu: I roll around, whenever I use my sword.

Gu: I can fight in any stance!

Gu: Oh, no!

Gu: Your sword lacks the desire for bloodshed.

Gu: Now, enough games.

Gu: Men, tie them all up!

Gu: Yes, sir!

Gu: Puck Spark!

Gu: Now!

Gu: The gate's closing!

Gu: Even if they're children, I don't know how we took

: all these Kushans out of the city, with no problem.

Gu: What's going on?

Gi: That's...

Gi: a secret! Right?

Gu: Well? What will you do with the children?

Gi: Take them with us, of course.

Gu: You're being selfish again.

Gi: It's been settled.

Gi: This is my decision as a seer!

S: Um, will that be all right?

Gi: I don't want to ruin my fun memories.

Gi: And our boss isn't the kind of petty man to complain

: about something like this, right?

Gi: Right?

Gu: Fine. We'll take them.

Gu: Take it.

Gu: What? Don't be stupid.

Gu: I can't take a stolen sword!

Gu: Can you protect them unarmed?

Gu: You're the one who dropped your sword in the sea, right?

Gu: How lame! Think you can be a knight like that?

Gu: And you looked as stupid as a flipped-over frog!

Gu: And you staggered like a drunk on those boats!

Gi: Hey, witch girl...

Gi: Would you like to come with us?

S: With...

S: ...you?

S: If you feel that you have no place in this world,

S: we would welcome you.

Gi: What will you do?

S: I...

S: I...

S: Thank you, but...

S: I have a place to go home to.

Gi: I see...

Gi: That man,

Gi: he's your...

Gi: Tsk... Guess I got turned down.

Gi: Too bad.

S: I'm sorry.

Gi: Oh, right. I haven't gotten your name yet.

Gi: I'm Sonia.

S: I am Schierke.

S: Ivalera.

Gu: Whad's wong?

Gu: Your pwetty hace is all veat up...

Gu: You, too... I'd mistake you for a crushed meat bun.

Gu: Say fhat?!

Gu: Maybe I bweak awll your deeth?

Gu: Talk like a human being!

Gu: I'm Mule.

Gu: What's your name?

Gu: Ijidodo.

Gu: I'll remember your name, Ijidodo!

Gu: It's "Ijidodo"!

Gu: Schierke...

Gu: Get away from this city, as soon as you can.

S: What was that?

Gi: Let's meet again, forest owl!

Gu: Okay, wet's head vack. The gate will ve cwosing.

Gu: He says, "Okay, let's head back. The gate will be closing."

Gu: Um...

Gu: I'b swowwy boud your hat and cwothes...

Gi: Huh? I couldn't hear you!

Gi: Speak a human language.

: I'm sorry about your hat and clothes...

S: And I'm sorry for being stubborn.

S: Thank you for coming.

P: Not at all. We weren't able to help at all.

Gu: Okay, food time!

Gu: It hurts, just looking at you.

Gu: This place is filled with nasty sorts, isn't it?

Gu: Couldn't you find better lodgings?

Gu: It could not be helped.

Gu: The whole city is so full of soldiers,

Gu: we should be grateful we found any place.

G: Taverns are all the same.

G: Gambling, fighting, whores.

Gu: Come over here and pour me a drink, missy—

Gu: Listen, mister...

G: And drunks.

Gu: Keep your feet off the table when we eat.

F: Everyone, we're back.

F: Come on.

S: B-But...

S: Ta-dah!

S: The clothes make the witch, huh?

F: The tavern's owner

F: was nice enough to give us her daughter's old clothes.

S: It a little tight and hard to move in...

S: And I don't feel right without my staff.

F: It's only for while we stay in this city.

Gu: You look good.

Gu: Yeah, it's a good disguise.

Gu: Nobody would think you're actually a scary witch

Gu: who could flatten a village.

Gu: What?

Gu: What's going on? Three girls, somewhere like this?

Gu: I guess one of them's a kid.

Gu: She's so pretty!

Gu: Why not have a drink?

F: I refuse.

gu: Hey, you drunk—

gu: What is it, kid?

gu: You really think kids should be in a place like this—

gu: What the hell?

G: That's the price...

: For staining my comrade's new clothes.

S: Comrade...

S: Mistress, this city and the human world

S: are so very vulgar and foolish.

Gu: Girls...

S: It's ugly.

G: Not bad.

S: But, mistress...

S: Even with all that, I can smile!

Apostle,S: If you would continue your journey,

Apostle,S: you will see the Apostles again, soon.

Apostle,S: And when that happens, their leader will most likely be

Apostle,S: the hawk.
