Valbanill!

Lisa!

What?!

Are you all right, Lisa?

Yes.

Why?!

What’s wrong, Elsa?

The enemy is right in front of us!

So why have you—

This is nothing!

Luke, that man is...

He sacrificed his own organs.

Quickly, quickly, quickly, over the shadow, running fast.

Episode 10

Lovers Suicide –Tragedy–

You were attacked by a magic sword?!

Yeah, one that could control lightning.

Are you okay, Lisa?

Yes.

Good to hear.

So, why were you attacked?

They were probably after me.

I know that!

There’s no way anyone would want to hurt her.

Do you have any idea who the culprit is?

Who knows?

If some barbaric, poor excuse for a knight went after them, then we might find out.

What did you say?!

If you break anything, you’re paying for it.

More importantly, let’s concentrate on figuring out what we’re going to do about that magic sword.

If only we knew its true identity...

It’s probably that girl from before.

I walked by her yesterday.

She had beautiful black hair and seemed rather quiet.

Oh, that’s just Elsa.

She’s a customer here, and I introduced her to this place.

That girl is the magic sword.

You’re joking, right?!

There’s no mistaking it.

I know for a fact that it’s her.

T-That’s...

What’s wrong, Elsa?

Surely, Elsa can’t be...

A magic sword that takes the form of a human, huh?

Just like me.

Even if she were the magic sword, why would she go after you, Luke?

It’s most likely...

because I’m the Blacksmith.

Attacking the Blacksmith to steal from him? How the Empire has fallen...

What did you say?!

We don’t know who did it.

Please refrain from making insults based on conjecture.

Do you really think he was attacked?

His excuse of not being able to show up despite wanting to is hardly...

So he knows he can’t forge the sacred sword.

That’s not true.

Of course it is.

If we can’t forge that sword, then we lose our last trump card in the fight against Valbanill.

In other words, the world as we know it will be destroyed.

Yup.

The sacred sword which seals Valbanill will lose its efficacy sometime this year.

As the first Housman predicted,

there has been an increase in spiritual activity recently.

“Spiritual activity”, huh?

You don’t need to use euphemisms with us.

It’s best to just tell it like it is.

It’s the curse of Valbanill.

The curse of Valbanill?!

It’s the spiritual energy when humans form a prayer contract.

It’s actually a curse from Valbanill.

That’s absurd!

Spiritual energy is an important part of what makes our lives better!

The first Housman was smart.

He converted the curse to spiritual energy and made it part of our lives.

A prayer contract is, in other words, a demon contract that doesn’t require flesh or blood.

While sealed away by the sacred sword, Valbanill thought long and hard about how to exact revenge on us humans.

The answer is simple.

Just make them kill each other.

And to aid in that endeavor, Valbanill inscribed the Death Verse on the hearts of humans.

Yup.

And just as he planned, humans performed Demon’s Contracts and started wars.

However, we realized our stupidity before it was too late and were able to recover.

Were Valbanill to be resurrected, Demon’s Contracts would be but a footnote in the story of horrors that would be unleashed.

With his power, humanity could very well be annihilated.

And that’s why we have the sacred sword.

When will it be finished?!

I don’t know.

Don’t say that! There’s no time left!

It appears that as of now, I lack something important.

My job is to forge the sword that seals away Valbanill, the most evil of demons.

He killed my father and even Lisa.

Do I lack hatred? Am I not skilled enough?

It’s embarrassing to even talk about it.

No.

You’re not channeling your hate at Valbanill.

You hate...

The only thing that can seal away Valbanill is the sacred sword.

However, he’s not the only one who is capable of forging that sword.

Yup.

Did you finish it?!

Wonderful.

It looks well-made.

Oh?

Siegfried! Where are you going?!

How was it?

There’s no way that thing can seal Valbanill.

Well, it’s made of high-quality Tamahagane, so it could very well stand up to a magic sword...

So the problem is Luke Ainsworth after all.

Excuse my comment.

And also, about those people...

Let’s hear it.

This makes me so angry!

What does?

Myself!

I didn’t know anything!

Not about Valbanill’s resurrection, not about the sacred sword, not about Luke...

And I’m mad at Luke! Why won’t he tell me?!

Well...

I know!

He shouldn’t casually tell others about the burden he’s carrying.

But what can he do by carrying it all by himself?

Can’t he trust me at least that much?

Does he think I’m not even worth sharing his feelings with?!

Am I not the right person for it?

There are many things in this world that are better left unknown.

Luke just doesn’t want to get you involved in all this, Cecily.

Aria...

If you did know, you wouldn’t be able to turn back or escape.

You’d be tied to the wheel of destiny whether you like it or not.

That’s the price you pay for knowledge.

If you can’t bear the truth once you hear it, then you won’t be able to stand by his side.

Are you fine with that?

Think it over.

Here are your pain killers and your sleeping pills.

Take too many and they become poisonous.

I understand.

Thank you.

Hey, Daddy, what do you want to eat?

Hm... What do I want?

Sir, I’ll have some of that beef, too.

You sure are buying a lot today.

Well, beef is the best meat for giving people energy.

Then this here should give them even more energy!

Oh, you’re the best!

It’s you...

Don’t be so uptight.

I just wanted to chat with a fellow magic sword.

There are certain things you can only ask a magic sword, right?

There’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while.

What is it?

Why we exist.

Why, and for what purpose, were magic swords like us created?

If your goal is to kill people, a normal sword should do.

But we’re different, aren’t we?

We’re swords yet we’re also human—

That’s not it.

We’re neither sword, human nor demon.

That’s why we simply wander this plane of existence.

It scares me.

Even when I find a place where I belong, I have to wonder when I’ll be torn away from everyone.

I’m tired of constantly living in fear.

I want to know...

Where did magic swords come from and what’s to become of them?

Why were we created?

Do you really want to know?

Yes.

Magic swords were born out of hatred.

Hatred?!

Those who were born from hatred and those who gave birth to hatred both lament the same way.

“Why do I have to keep suffering like this?”

“Why was I born?”

Thee who birthed the Demon’s Contract, I hate thee.

I hate... and hate... and hate... and hate.

And we’re the manifestation of all that hatred?

Magic swords were born from the hatred towards Valbanill.

To hate that which he created himself, and kill it.

That is our only purpose.

That’s why we say that incantation.

"And kill 'God'."

How does it look?

It’s better than my previous attempts, but I don’t know if it can hold out against that magic sword.

What if you use that spell you always cast?

You mean the magic sword creation spell?

Yeah.

I can’t perform that without Lisa.

I can’t put her in harm’s way.

I guess that should be your top priority...

Is your only goal to kill Valbanill?

Then why?!

Magic swords follow their masters’ orders...

until the moment we’ve been waiting for arrives.

I don’t want to fight you.

Are you all right, Master?

I’ll soon get revenge for my Elsa.

Let’s stop this.

What did you...?!

At this rate, you’ll die.

I’m begging you...

I can’t let you do that.

I can’t let you quit on me, that is.

It’s you! Thanks to you, I found Valbanill!

It’s been a long time, but the day shall finally come!

That’s good to hear.

How about I join you in getting revenge?

Thank you so much!

Take care of Lisa.

Luke!

Miss Elsa!

Move aside! I have no business with you!

Like I’d just let you pass. If you want to get—

It’s you...!

You’ll be fighting me, Blacksmith.

It’s the black-clothed man!

He’s all yours!

Wait!

Lisa!

Get inside the house!

But...

I said, “Get inside!”

Don’t get in my way. Move it!

You call yourself a knight, going after women and children?!

I’ve waited for this day for 44 years!

For the day I’d get revenge for Elsa!

What are you talking about?

Don’t play dumb!

I’m going to get revenge for Elsa. I have to!

Wait, Elsa’s...

Elsa?

What’s the meaning of this?

Elsa!

Awaken from thy sleep, seize the moment, judge with thunder,

Elsa!

and kill "God".

We have no other choice. Aria!

You’re a fool.

Oh, I see you’ve gotten a bit better.

Who are you?

I’ll tell you if you beat me.

Move!

Is that a magic sword, too?

Yes, it’s the Pitch Black Sword. It rots whatever it touches.

Luke!

Stay back, Lisa!

There you are, Valbanill!

Like I’d let you!

Why...?

Why are you protecting Valbanill?!

Don’t be stupid!

She’s Lisa and I’m her friend!

That thing is Valbanill!

It’s Valbanill, the enemy of my daughter Elsa!

Wind, be my shield!

Why, you...!

I can’t fall.

Not until I get revenge for Elsa!

What incredible conviction...

Die...

Valbanill!

Aria!

Let’s stop this nonsense.

My wish will soon be fulfilled.

This is your wish?!

Is this why we, magic swords, were born?!

Magic swords simply obey their masters.

Elsa!

Elsa!

Miss Elsa!

Elsa...

Where are you...?

I’m right here.

Elsa...

Our promise...

Yes...

Father...

Elsa...

She has been waiting for this day.

For it to end like this...

How disappointing. I thought he’d be a bit more useful.

You...!

Why?!

Why does it have to be like this?!

Because that’s the fate of all magic swords.

It seems that the Wind Sword knows.

What’re you talking about?!

Magic swords were created to kill “God,” I'm afraid.

Only to kill the great Valbanill.

Valbanill?!

One day, your magic sword will want to kill that little girl, too.

Don’t be ridiculous!

If you don’t know, then why don’t I tell you?

Inside the body of that girl you call “Lisa” courses the blood of Valbanill.

There’s no way...!

Lisa is a demon.

She’s a demon that Luke created using his childhood friend Lisa to escape from Valbanill a long time ago.

That’s what Lisa is!

Don’t say it!

You’re...

T-That’s a lie, right... Luke?

He was telling a horrible lie, right?

It’s true.

I killed Lisa.

Let's go!

Oh!

Yeah!

Oh!

sotto sotto soba ni imasu soyokaze no you ni

Softly, softly, by my side, like a gentle breeze.

shun to suru namida nante kawakaseru you ni

The tears that flowed out were blown dry, just like that.

POKKETTO no naka no chiisa na negai wa

Because the tiny wish inside my pocket

anata no egao dakara

is your smile.

Yeah!

hashire hashire motto hayaku

Run, run, even faster.

kanashii koto atta toki mo

Even when something sad happens,

kakete yukou kono michi wo

let’s dash down this road.

chizu nante itsumo kokoro ni aru

Things like maps are always in our hearts.

ashita wa HAPPII DEI

Tomorrow is a happy day.

Happy day.

kirari MIRAKURU HAPPII DEI

Sparkle, miraculous, happy day.

Oh!

Yay!
