02x10 - Hijou no Okite! Namida o Idakite Ani o Ou

[bunniefuu]

This doesn't look good!

We need to hit the giamiants and help
the villagers who haven't escaped!

Understood!

Let's go! Defend the village
with everything you have!

Blazing embers, heed my call.
Consume all to ash!

Body to water, Spear Flow!

Wyvern Slash!

What's the situation?

Definitely not good...
these giamiants are really tough.

Ponta?

What's the matter, Ponta?

Is there something inside
that beat-up bag?

It smells awful...

It's passed away, but isn't this...?

It's a giamiant child.

Is this why they've been
attacking the settlements?

Using a dead child as bait...

Who did this?!

Thank you for that, Arc.

The twin-blade user!

Then this is the one
who attacked Sir Danka.

I can see the taint of death.
There's no doubt about it.

I'm here to help!

Likewise!

Nice timing, Chiyome, Tsubone!

It's four-on-one, now.
We've got this in the bag.

Lady Ariane, where I come from,
we refer to that kind of talk as a flag...

What kind of flag?

Beast ears?

Oh, no...

Lady Chiyome? What's the matter?

How...?

Tsubone?

Down!

Sit!

Shake.

You're a clever boy, aren't
you, Shiden? Yes, you are!

Good evening. It's me, Arc.

We were attempting to save the Tiger Clan

who were being attacked by
giamiants, when we encountered...

Sasuke?

What?!

Lady Chiyome, what did you just say?

Brother...?

Calm down, Chiyome! Look closely!
That's not Sasuke anymore!

It's an undead!

Not good!

Brother!

Wait, Chiyome!

Chiyome!

Please, wait! Brother!

Are you awake?

Brother!

Yeah, you're getting a feel for it.

And the more you practice,
the more refined you'll be.

Sasuke!

Congratulations on being named
one of the Six Ninja, Rou!

Er, Lord Sasuke!

I appreciate it.

Sasuke...

Rou!

Brother!

R-Rou...

Lady Chiyome!

Over Heal!

What is that?

What's he going to do?

Is that...

Me?

Obviously not!

They're headed towards the settlement!
He's sending in the undead!

Lady Ariane, stop them!

Got it.

Body to wind, Prison Vortex.

Who is he?

We can be sure now that it was
Sasuke who attacked Danka.

Sasuke... How did he end up undead?

And he seemed to command those others.

That pendant he had...

It resembled what Yakof and
the idiot rich boy had.

Someone was experimenting with
creating undead in Denel Village.

Can we assume the same people
turned Sasuke into one?

But Sir Sasuke certainly seemed different
than the undead from that village.

True. They acted more animalistic...

like they were moving on pure instinct.

While they were taking
direction from a master,

they did little more
than aimlessly lash out.

But...

it felt like there was intellect
behind Sir Sasuke's actions.

And he could use ninjutsu.

Could there be some part of
his consciousness left...?

I highly doubt that.

Chiyome!

You're awake? Are you okay?

That was definitely the kind
of technique Sasuke used.

But I could tell...

His eyes...

That wasn't my brother.

I agree. He might look like Sasuke,
but that was just another undead.

But... Chiyome...

Lady Ariane.

I don't suppose there is
any magic that elves or

Sir Arc knows that might
restore an undead?

Reviving the dead is treading
into the domain of the gods.

I'm sorry, but it's just not possible.

Arc agrees that it can't be done.

I understand.

I'm sorry I can't help.

No. I appreciate it.

After hearing that,
I know what needs to be done.

Right. The two of us have to stop Sasuke.

There's no other way.

Yes. As the code of
the Six Ninja dictates.

What code?

When you're one of the Six Ninja,

you become responsible for disposing any
other member who strays from the path.

I am Tsubone of the Six Ninja.

And I am Chiyome of the Six Ninja.

This is a map of the area, you see.

These Xs are the settlements that
the giamiants have attacked already.

We can be sure that Sir Sasuke was
directing them, but to what end?

Is that...?

You know what the giamiants are after?

More accurately, I've figured out what
the people using the giamiants are after.

Explain yourself.

Like we told you before,

it's likely that the undead is using dead
giamiant children to direct the pack.

If you trace the settlements
that were attacked,

it leads to...

Tajiento?

I'm not sure what the point of having
giamiants attack a human town would be.

But this may be a perfect opportunity!

Here on the southern continent,

the majority of territory is
controlled by the Fobnach Kingdom.

Tajiento is the only city run by humans—

as part of the Revlon Empire, in the east.

A number of our kin are being held there.

But its walls are high, and sturdy.

We've yet to come up with
a way to save them...

If we strike while the giamiants
are running amok...!

There's a good chance there
are captured elves, as well.

I'll be going too.

What about the rest of you?

Chiyome and I will go, too.

Right. If there's a chance
that my brother—

that undead might be there...

We're going, too.

We'll be tagging along to aid you two.

Lady Ariane! Sir Arc!

Thank you so much.

Okay, are you ready to go?
I'm counting on you, Shiden.

"Shiden"? What now?

His name is Shiden.

I thought not having a name
for him felt a bit awkward.

Right, Shiden?

When did you even come with that...?

Oh, we've got more than just a name.

Down!

Sit!

Shake.

You're a clever boy,
aren't you, Shiden? Yes, you are!

There, there, there!

Shiden, stop that!

- I'm not sure getting
attached is a good idea...

- Open your mouth!

- At this rate, I'm going to have
to use a secret tool to escape!

- Chiyome.

- Are you sure you're okay?

- You don't have to
force yourself to do this.

Sasuke saved my life.

After I joined the village,
I learned ninjutsu...

And he treated me as kindly
as he would a real sister.

Which is why I want to
settle this myself.

Lady Chiyome...

Ride out!

Episode 10

It's nearly time to begin.

And bring chaos to this world...

That is the nature of the Hilk faith.

Our Lord will grant us relief
from the fear of death.

Let us pray, and have faith.

This is such an easy gig!

To say nothing about all
the donations they give me!

People will really do anything as long
as you tell them God said so, huh?

It seems like such a
waste to destroy it all!

Maybe if Master Thanatos
came by, he'd reconsider?

You seriously want to
question the pontiff?

Besides, I hear that the number
of beastmen you've captured

and the number in custody
don't add up, lately.

Do try to keep your "snacking" in check.

I'd never defy His Holiness!

But I am going to fulfill
my orders at my own pace.

I don't really think that leisurely
stance is going to help you.

What the—?!

Everything is proceeding apace.

This test subject is proving
to be very impressive, indeed.

Giamiants!

And so the curtain rises
on the fall of Tajiento.

We're doing this now?!

It's too soon!

It is as our pontiff wills it.

I'm going to borrow the
subjects from the underground.

I'd advise you to continue
to serve His Holiness.

What is this?!

There are giamiants in town!

But why?!

You all need to evacuate, now!

The giamiants are headed this way!

You're back? Then get started.

What are those...?

Undead?!

Why are they coming out of the church?!

My butt...

Are you all right, Lady Ariane?

Maybe he could cast Heal on your behind?

Or there's always acupuncture!

No, thanks.

Are we there yet?!

Look. I think that's Tajiento.

And the giamiants are already attacking.

Hurry, Shiden!

Sacred Knight skill, Judgment!

Undead!

If they're here...

Then Sasuke might be, too!

He turns giamiants on this town
and then unleashes the undead?

Someone must truly desire
this town's destruction.

We're going to execute
the rescue operation.

We'll look for Sasuke.

Right. Watch yourselves.

Likewise. Godspeed to you!

Listen up! Don't pay the humans any mind!

Focus on freeing our kin, and only
fight those who try to stop you!

Let's go, Chiyome, Tsubone!

Right!

You are all already dead.

The further in we go, the worse it gets.

How do find one person
in the middle of all this?

We've no choice but to try!

Damn it! They just keep coming!

An elf and members of the Tiger Clan...

Did they just save us?

Hey.

Y-Yes?!

Where are the captured beastmen and elves?

W-Well...

Tell us.

Y-Yes, sir!

Tsubone!

Right!

Fire, I implore you,
shroud my sword to pierce and blaze!

Get out of here, quickly!

R-Right!

Thank you so much!

This is all because of Sasuke...

What's that?

Chiyome, it's that light!

Tsubone!

Lady Chiyome! Lady Tsubone!

I won't fault the Tiger Clan for being
so concerned about their kin.

I leave the rest to you.

I have you now, Sasuke.

Arc!

Chiyome! Tsubone!

The Jinshin clan and an elf warrior?

Are you the one who made
Sasuke into an undead?!

Sasuke? Oh, you mean my puppet here?

Puppet?!

From how you're dressed,
I'm guessing you're part of the church.

Something tells me you're
no ordinary priest, though.

Do you really expect
me to answer your kind?

Don't be like that.

I'd love to hear all about it...
because I've taken an interest in you.

So... who are you, and where are you from?

Won't you tell me?

I am Palurumo Avaritia Liberalitas.

One of the seven Cardinals
of the Hilk church.

The Hilk church?

I've heard of them before.

It's a faith that's been
spreading among humans, lately.

They apparently consider beastmen
and elves to be unclean...

I see. Still, you're awfully talkative
for someone so condescending.

Why? Why did I just...?

Now, what should I have you tell us next?

- Next Time

- Blood Duel! Death Amidst
The Collapsing City

This looks more comfortable than a driftpus...!
