You're finally awake. You collapsed in the snow, so I wanted to let you sleep.
Saya, you have an extremely important mission to accomplish. You must take better care of yourself or---
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?
I suddenly felt very sleepy.
Your body temperature has lowered. It's been three years since you woke up.
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.
We'll be arriving at the village soon. You're still tired, aren't you?
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.
Sorry, but you haven't really improved much.
Aren't you being just a little harsh?
I believe it's called Pokrovskoye. This is the village where Gregory was born.
Not quite. But according to all of the reports that we've received, Gregory is supposedly hiding somewhere outside this village.
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.
Anastasia? Well, I'm sure that she must be hiding out somewhere in this country. As far as she goes, she trusted Gregory completely.
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.
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.
So, there are no more young people left?
RRoba
There's still a young woman. 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?
We're looking for someone.
A man who goes by the name of Gregory.
Can't help. I've only been living here about two years, so I don't really know many people in the village.
Tell me. Where are you two staying in town tonight?
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.
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.
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?
Hagi and I---we're just like family. Isn't that right, Hagi?
That's my house! Over there.
You live there by yourself?
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!
Sonia, it's not safe to hang onto me so tightly.
But I'm really scared, Saya.
Hagi: Saya!
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.
Hagi, please go put some clothes on! You're in front of two young girls.
Well, it sure doesn't bother me.
In any case, it's not acceptable.
Good morning. What a beautiful day again today! Miss 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.
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.
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!
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.
Yes, you are. I'll make you breakfast.
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.
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?
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--
Replaced by Gregory, correct?
Yes. If we pursue Sonia, we may very well find Anastasia. Saya...
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, I'm going to have to stop you here.
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.
I'm sleepy, so sleepy. You've got such a deep wound.
My wound will close-up soon.
Perhaps It will. Please forgive me.
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.
Do you remember the promise?
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.
Are you all right to move?
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.
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?
