Saya
Riku, how do you know all this?
I read all about it in a book, but this is my first time riding on a real train, so I'm a little nervous.
Saya
Gosh. I forgot. There are no railroad trains like this in Okinawa. Hagi, have you ever taken a train before?
Excuse me, Ma'am? May I help you?
OOld Lady
How nice of you. Thank you.
You're welcome. [She loses her balance. Before she slips, Hagi catches her. Riku thanks Hagi] Thanks a lot. Here, let me help you on-board.
OOld Lady
You are such a nice boy.
You're finally awake. You collapsed in the snow, so I wanted to let you sleep.
Saya
I see.
Saya, you have an extremely important mission to accomplish. You must take better care of yourself or---
Saya
I know what I must do! And our ultimate target may be getting away while I'm just lying here regaining my strength.
It'll do more harm than good If you march off into battle while you are so weak. It would be extremely reckless of you to go out there during this blizzard. You're not accustomed to spending time in these near freezing conditions. Why were you lying on the ground outside like that?
Saya
I suddenly felt very sleepy.
Saya
What is it?
Your body temperature has lowered. It's been three years since you woke up.
Saya
Maybe when I wake up next time, there will be no one left who remembers me. as if I never existed.
I'll be waiting for you always and forever, Saya.
Saya
I know.
We'll be arriving at the village soon. You're still tired, aren't you?
Saya
No, I'm all right. Now, Hagi, please, I think you need to get some rest, too.
Don't worry. My body does not require sleep. I'll stay here by your side until you fall asleep, and I'll play the song you taught me. I've practicing it the whole time you've been asleep.
Saya
Sorry, but you haven't really improved much.
Aren't you being just a little harsh?
Saya
How do you pronounce it?
I believe it's called Pokrovskoye. This is the village where Gregory was born.
Saya
Is that our destination?
Not quite. But according to all of the reports that we've received, Gregory is supposedly hiding somewhere outside this village.
Saya
I remember. He had died.
This country was in the middle of intense turmoil after the Revolution broke out. That scenario would make this the perfect place for chiropterans to slip away from us and go into hiding. First, we should stop at the village mentioned in the report and collect some information on Gregory.
Saya
What about Anastasia?
Anastasia? Well, I'm sure that she must be hiding out somewhere in this country. As far as she goes, she trusted Gregory completely.
Saya
You're right. We should start looking for Gregory.
RRoba
Gregory? Well, he kind of looks like the second son of the Eflmovich family, the wealthy farming family from the village of Pokirovskoye. He was called Rasputin.
Saya
Rasputin?
The translation means "a debauched one."
RRoba
That's right. In every village, all young people just keep leaving and leaving. They're all Rasputins.
Saya
So, there are no more young people left?
RRoba
There's still a young woman. Sonia.
Saya
Sonia?
RRoba
She is the daughter of Yuri, a strange scientist who used to live on the outskirts of the village. He was doing all sorts of weird experiments. No one from the village even went near the place. Crazy man, I tell you. Then he moved to Ekaterinburg, but for some odd reason, he moved his family back here after the Revolution broke out. There she is. That is Sonia.
Hello, ma'am. Do you need any help? Good morning.
RRoba
I must be going now. Good luck.
I haven't seen you before. Just passing through?
Saya
We're looking for someone.
A man who goes by the name of Gregory.
Saya
Right. That's him.
Can't help. I've only been living here about two years, so I don't really know many people in the village.
Saya
I see.
Tell me. Where are you two staying in town tonight?
Saya
What?
I haven't seen anyone my own age for a pretty long time. You could spend the night at my house. and we could stay up and talk. I think it would be a lot of fun. You could come, too. There's an empty room, there's plenty of food, and besides, I would love the company.
Saya
But I wouldn't---I wouldn't want to be an incovenince for your father.
My father is no longer with me. Not long ago, he was discovered dead. When they found his body, he was very pale, as if he was drained of blood.
Saya
We've been traveling for almost two months.
And you've been with that handsome Mr. Hagi for the entire time?
Saya: Yes.
So you and Mr. Hagi are always togethers? Are you two by any chance, lovers?
Saya
Hagi and I---we're just like family. Isn't that right, Hagi?
That's my house! Over there.
Saya
You live there by yourself?
Saya
Is this bridge safe to cross, Sonia?
Before, It used to be a very sturdy bridge. It's a little scary to cross. but there is no one left to repair it ever since my father passed away and all the young people left the village. But I'm not afraid today, because I have you! Now, let's go!
Saya
Sonia, it's not safe to hang onto me so tightly.
But I'm really scared, Saya.
Hagi: Saya!
Saya
It's sweet.
It's zubeeguni. That's tea sweetened with honey.
I found it in the kitchen. Forgive me for using it without your premission. I thought it could warm you up.
Saya
Hagi, please go put some clothes on! You're in front of two young girls.
Well, it sure doesn't bother me.
Saya
In any case, it's not acceptable.
Saya
Sonia?
Good morning. What a beautiful day again today! Miss Saya?
Saya
You can call me Saya.
Saya, what do you say to living here with me? It's very lonely here all by myself, but I know I wouldn't be lonely anymore it you were here with me. For some reason, I'm very drawn to you.
Saya
But I don't think---
Saya
Why are you lonely when you have all the villagers to be friends with?
The villagers there aren't any fun. They really don't like me very much.
Saya
I'm sure you're imagining that.
No, it's true, Saya. The villagers have always hated us. Because of our research, they all thought we belonged to some kind of ridiculous satanic cult or something. So what a wrong with creating humans anyway? People redesign oats and others grains to make them more resistant to the cold! They create better livestock so they can get more meat, milk and eggs! They make horses run faster and dogs more obedient. But humans are special, and we should be able to increase their abilities as much as possible. If we'd just give humans a chance, I think they could even surpass God!
Saya
For what purpose? Those who are created probably don't wish for anything at all. I think it's the creators who---I'm sorry. It's not important.
Saya
No, not really.
Yes, you are. I'll make you breakfast.
Saya
What do I do now?
Saya
Why did you do this?
RRoba
[Last Words] That woman lying there is a demon, an evil monster! I saw it! I saw her suck the blood out of live villagers!
It tastes just like dirt. Have you heard? There's a saying that townspeople smell like money and rich noblemen taste like expensive wine.
Saya
Chiropteran?
You act so surprised when you call me that. You couldn't tell what I was until now? The moment I met you two, I knew who you were. You couldn't kill even a tiny rabbit unless your had some kind of tool. What a helpless being you are without your weapons. Over time, animals have adapted to their environment. They've developed sharp fangs and claws, and flowers have thorns. But humans decided they didn't need to adapt. They refused to co-exist with nature and made all their own rules. So what do you think the humans got for ignoring the laws of nature?
Saya
Sonia!
Sonia and her father Yuri helped Gregory with his research. But they returned to this village after Gregory was assassinated in 1916. However, by that time, Sonia had already been--
Saya
Replaced by Gregory, correct?
Yes. If we pursue Sonia, we may very well find Anastasia. Saya...
Saya
I'm sure we will.
Gregory, retreat for now. Diva wishes to sleep.
Great elder brother Amshel, Saya, the hunter who attacks you and pursues Diva, is standing in front of me. Amshel, is it not our duty and destiny as Chevaliers to protect Diva from any possible harm?
Saya
Hold it!
Saya, I'm going to have to stop you here.
Saya
Sonia. Or should I say, Gregory Eflmovich Rasputin! I'm going to kill you!
[Last Words] And I though we were going to turn out to be really good friends. What a shame it is. Unfortunately, Diva is about to go to sleep. Maybe I should take both your legs so that you can't follow her.
Saya
Hagi!
Saya
I'm sleepy, so sleepy. You've got such a deep wound.
My wound will close-up soon.
Saya
Perhaps It will. Please forgive me.
Saya
I can't...kep my eyes open any longer. I'm starting to feel as if...another long sleep is about to come over me like before.
Saya
Do you remember the promise?
Saya
When I'm done---when I'm done hunting Diva...
I will watch over you forever, Saya, even if you turn into something else; even if somewhow we are separated from each other. I will find you and protect you, no matter what it takes. I will always be with you, Saya. So for now, have a good sleep...Saya.
Saya
Hagi.
Are you all right to move?
Saya
A Dream?
Saya
You smile, Hagi, don't you? I had a dream. You were smiling in the dream, and I remember that I was asking you to promise me something.
Saya
Well, tell me. Tell me, Hagi, what was the promise all about, then?
You'll see when the appropriate time comes.
Saya! Saya! Saya, are you all right?
Saya
Yes, Riku! Come on!
Saya
What are they?
DDahza
We finally caught up with you, Saya.
Saya
They know me? Who are you? Are you with the Red Shield? If you've come to take me back, you're mistaken. I'm not going back!
We are the Schiff. We are finite beings.
Saya
Schiff?
DDahza
We have come here to take your blood.
Saya
They're coming after us. Are they chiropterons, too?
GGhee
Aren't you going to fight, Irene?
GGhee
We are soulless creatures because we cannot live without hurting others, but we truly have no other choice.
GGhee
Robbing others of their life in order to get our daily bread...is quite natural. Besides, we need special blood to cleans our cursed bodies. These circumstances are not our fault.
But this is...still so wrong. Ghee, your arm! Ghee.
Saya
Hagi.
Be quiet. Saya, listen. You must survive, for only you can put an end to all of this. I may not be able to protect you till the end. Saya, if I don't return, you must fight.
Saya
Hagi...
Karman! I can feel him. So you're Saya's Chevalier.
That damn Chevalier thinks he's too tough!
GGhee
She's not around. He must've hidden her somewhere.
Saya
Hagi.
GGhee
I'm impressed that you caught up with me with those injuries, as I thought you were hiding her. Unfortuneately, I seem to be running out of time, too. Stay still and don't give me a hard time. You don't understand our suffering. We can only live in the darkness. We're very much alike, but...the difference between you and me is just one little thing. What's missing from me is the special blood.
Ghee! You have the sign! Thorns have already appeared on your body?
GGhee
Since the night of the last full moon.
Saya
Hagi!
Saya
I'll use my blood to kill you!
I know your special blood is supposed to bring immediate death to all chiropterans, but we're not afraid of your blood.
GGhee
Because it is your blood, Saya, that may actually give us hope.
Ghee! You're getting worse.
GGhee
The Chevalier's blood...cannot actually cleanse our awful curse. It is over for me.
Karman, we must withdraw.
Saya
Something's wrong.
Saya
Hagi! Riku! Go hide somewhere. Hurry! The Schiff are after me!
RSRed Shield Guard
Where is she? Evacuated!
We haven't located her yet.
Karman, calm down, let's not rush things. We are only interested in Saya. Saya and the Chevalier. Saya doesn't have as many Chevaliers as Diva. If we move carefully, we can take them.
If they stay here. But what do we do if they run?
I can see Saya. I feel her. Nearby.
Directly above us right now at the highest point of the ship.
Does she have her Chevalier with her?
Yes, But wait, something's bothering me.
We're not after humans tonight. Let's go.
What the Hell is going on? Hey! Riku, get out of there now!
What? What's happening to me?
Saya
Hurry, Kai...run now! And take Riku with you. Hurry!
Let go Riku! Riku! Riku!!!
Don't get in my way. boy!
Saya
Riku! Why? Why did this have to happen to him? Riku.
JJahn
[Last Words] This is our chance.
It appears the course of the battle has been altered. Saya has two Chevaliers now.
You need to stay here, Lulu.
Forget it, I'm coming with you! Moses?!
I must say, I'm glad they're using your face. This way I get to punch it to my heart's content!
Because I asked her to come fight with us, Karman!
Saya! Thank you for coming! We never---
There no time to thank her. It's our turn to go where your next fight is. That is how we can repay you.
Saya
I don't need any help.
Don't think of it as help then... because it's the only way that we are going to survive.
JJames
I won't let you get away!
There's nothing more we can do.
JJames
Looks like you're at the end of your rope.
Saya
Kai!
JJames
How dare you! You powerless human! What?
We completey decimated your perfect little warriors!
Hagi took most of them down, but we helped too.
Teamwork and trust is something new we'er learned because of you!
JJames
I won't let it end like this!
JJames
You will die for Diva. For the sake of Mother!
Saya
Kai!
JJames
In the name of Diva...May you both perish at the bottom of the earth forever! You!
JJames
[Last Words Line] Solomon!
Saya
Solomon.
LLewis
We never told you about her, Julia. Lulu is a Schiff.
So it was a place called Okinawa?
Saya
Yes.
Kilbed, the place where I was born, only has rocks and lots of ice...and it was very cold and always dark.
Saya
I see.
So where were you born, Hagi?
Wait. Let me guess. Was it in a...? Was it in a castle?
No, Lulu. All I can recall is that it was a couple, who were traveling. I really don't remember much.
It's time to watch TV! My favorite show!
