[Touta]: Woah! What a massive road!
Such a waste no one’s using it! [Yukihime]: The population of Japan has decreased a lot. A quarter of the land is now uninhabited compared to its peak. It’s not just Japan either, this has been happening worldwide. [Touta]: Anyways, it seems no matter how long we walk that tower never gets closer. [Yukihime]: You dare ignore me? [Touta]: By the way, why are we walking there? [Yukihime]: If we took public transit, we’d be a prime target for bounty hunters. It would be a bloodbath for sure. [Touta]: Oh yeah, that makes sense. Capital! Capital! Onwards to the capital! Woohoo! [Yukihime]: You seem to be in high spirits. [Touta]: That’s because we’re going somewhere where I won’t know anyone. Which means loads of new friends to make! [Yukihime]: Your naivete is exhausting. [Touta]: When we get to the capital, I’m gonna make hundreds of friends! [Touta]: Look, a waterfall!
[Yukihime]: Tota. [Touta]: Hm? [Yukihime]: I feel the need to tell you, you can never forget you’re immortal now. [Touta]: Huh? [Yukihime]: You will forever be 14 years old. Be wary making bonds with others as you may come to regret it. [Touta]: I’m gonna go take a bath in the river, I’ll be back. [Yukihime]: Fine… [Touta]: Man, Yukihime sure sucks the fun out of things.
But I guess I never thought of immortality like that… Being 14 forever and ever… My friends’ll all grow up, and I’ll be stuck looking like this. That’s definitely a buzz kill. What’s this? Ah, who are you? [Touta]: M-my bad.
[Kuromaru]: You scoundrel! [Touta]: What the heck was that?! That was amazing! [Kuromaru]: Who the hell are you?! [Touta]: You’re a woma- [Kuromaru]: Who are you calling a woman?! [Touta]: Sorry, my bad, my bad!
I saw your pretty face and assumed you were a woman. But if you’re actually a man, I don’t know why you got so angry. [Kuromaru]: Seems like a natural response when a complete stranger fondles your butt like that. [Touta]: I said it was my bad. [Kuromaru]: However… this is the first time someone my age was able to avoid my sword. I’m Kuromaru Tokisaka, well met. Hey, I’m Tota Konoe, nice to meet you! [Kuromaru]: I see, so you’re headed to the capital.
[Touta]: Yeah, finally getting out of the boonies. Where are you from? [Kuromaru]: I came from up there. [Touta]: Wha-? Up there… You mean the sky?! [Kuromaru]: Yep. [Touta]: Bro! [Kuromaru]: You’re creeping me out. [Touta]: I’ve always dreamed of going up there! You gotta tell me all about it! Did you come down the Orbital Elevator? [Kuromaru]: Well, yeah, I guess. [Touta]: No way! Are you, like, some rich kid or something?! [Kuromaru]: Not rich but, well, I guess my family is pretty well off. But… I’ve been somewhat kicked out… [Touta]: What? [Kuromaru]: I am forbidden from returning home until I find “her” and complete my mission. [Touta]: Wh-what a drag. Who’s this woman you’re after? [Kuromaru]: A vampire known as the Dark Evangel. She appears to be a young girl, but is in fact 700 years old. I’ve heard she’s recently put on the guise of an adult woman. [Kuromaru (thought)]: He doesn’t have a reflection?! [Touta]: Oh, there she is. Over here! Where’d you disappear to, Yukihime? [Yukihime]: I was looking for somewhere to buy a drink. I’d heard about these from that hot springs hotel we were at- [Kuromaru]: Evangeline A.K. McDowell! [Touta]: What, Kuro-? [Yukihime]: Oh? So, you’re Shinmei-ryu? Haven’t seen one of you in a while. [Touta]: Hey, Kuromaru, what the heck are you doing? [Kuromaru]: You’re a vampire as well, aren’t you, Konoe-kun? [Touta]: Huh? [Kuromaru]: I hail from a clan known for hunting immortals, the Fushigari. It is our duty to return villains like the two of you to the darkness from which you spawned. [Touta]: Whoa, what are you say-? [Kuromaru]: It’s a pity… I had the feeling that we could have been friends. Secret technique of the Shinmei-ryu… Stone Cutter! [Touta]: K-Kuromaru! Kuromaru! Hey, Kuromaru! What the heck are you doing, you crazy lady! You killed him! What are we going to do now?! [Yukihime]: Take another look. [Touta]: The wound… [Yukihime]: Looks like the immortal hunters are immortals themselves. [Touta]: Immortals? So, he’s… Hey, Kuromaru. You ok? Hey! Kuromaru? Well then. [Kuromaru]: What the heck are you doing?! [Touta]: That brought him back! [Kuromaru]: What are you thinking trying to *peak down my pants? [Touta]: I was just checking if you really had a willy. [Kuromaru]: Don’t say “willy”! [Touta]: Didn’t see anything though. [Kuromaru]: I forgot! I have to defeat Evangeline A.K. McDowell. [Yukihime]: And yet you’ve already lost to me, have you not? Pity. [Kuromaru]: Not yet! It’s not over yet! [Touta]: H-hey, c’mon. Give it a rest you two. ------------------
Flashback ------------------ [Kuromaru’s Brother]: Kuromaru, you must slay Evangeline A.K. McDowell. While in the past she was known as the Dark Evangel, she is now a mere ruin of her former self. If you are unable to defeat her, you lack the qualifications to join the clan. In the event that you fail in this duty, do not return. Take that cursed body and fade into obscurity. [Kuromaru]: Understood, Brother. [Kuromaru]: I must defeat you… I’ll accept no less.
No matter how far you run, I’ll follow. [Yukihime]: Very well, boy. If you can defeat my student Tota, I’ll face you. There’s no point if you can’t beat him. [Touta]: Huh? Why are you roping me into this, Yukihime? [Kuromaru]: I apologize, Konoe-kun, but I need you to fight me. [Touta]: What? W-wait, Kuromaru… Kuromaru, can’t we just talk- [Kuromaru]: He dodged it?! How can he move like that? [Touta]: Damnit, what are you doing? The two of us don’t have any reason to fight! [Kuromaru]: I’ve already told you my reason! [Touta]: Fine, I get it, Kuromaru. We’ll fight. But we’re going to add a condition to the fight. The Winner gets one demand of the Loser. [Kuromaru]: What are you saying? [Touta]: I can’t fight without anything in it for me. It’s just stupid otherwise. Also, it’s pretty unfair if only one of us has a sword. [Kuromaru]: Fair enough. I’ll accept your condition. Either way, my wish is to face Evangeline in battle. Take this. [Touta]: Okay, and with that… you’ve given me a reason to fight! [Kuromaru]: What the-?! [Touta]: Son of a-! [Yukihime (thinking)]: Oh? These two are actually pretty good. [Touta (thinking)]: He’s damn strong! Right, looks like I’ll have to try out what Yukihime’s been teaching me! [Kuromaru (thinking)]: His style is all over the place, but his battle sense is amazing! Even so, this fight… is over! If he’s a vampire, he’ll be forced to stop if I cut his head off. I’m sorry, Konoe-kun. [Touta]: Nice try… but it looks like I win! I thought I was going to die. Oh wait, guess I can’t! Oh, right! Kuromaru! You ok over there? Yukihime, this’ll heal, won’t it? It’ll heal, right? [Yukihime]: Who knows? There are many different types of immortality after all. [Touta]: Oh thank god, it healed. [Yukihime]: *That an impressive regenerative ability. [Kuromaru]: K-kill me! It would be best if you just killed me now! [Touta]: Idiot, we’re not going to kill you. [Kuromaru]: Then what is your demand? I-is it something perverted? Are you going to do something perverted to me?! [Touta]: What? This is my demand… [Kuromaru]: Huh? [Touta]: Be my friend, Kuromaru. [Touta]: A bath is definitely the best thing after working up a sweat!
Good thing there was a place like this nearby. Right, Kuromaru? Huh? What are you doing? [Kuromaru]: Stop staring at me! Why am I going to the bath with you anyways? [Touta]: Would you have preferred going with Yukihime? This place doesn’t have mixed bathing, you know. [Kuromaru]: That’s not what I meant! You’re an immortal, I’m an immortal hunter! We should be diehard enemies! [Touta]: Nope, we’re best friends now! We even signed a contract to prove it. <Contract Text:> Contract Best friends, till death do us part! Tota Konoe Kuromaru Tokisaka [Kuromaru]: You forced me to sign that! {Touta]: What am I hearing? Is a man going back on his word? Speaking of which, are you really a guy? Why don’t you show me some proof-? [Kuromaru]: This truly is a great feeling.
It’s been so long since I’ve enjoyed a bath like this. [Touta]: Hey, about your clan, is it really that strict? [Kuromaru]: Why do you ask? [Touta]: It’s just what you said, “If you fail, don’t come back, die.” Doesn’t seem normal to me. [Kuromaru]: I was ostracized by the whole family… Because I’m immortal. I think the order to defeat Evangeline was just to get me out of the way. But, I still… [Touta]: But that just means you don’t have a reason to go back there. [Kuromaru]: Huh? [Touta]: Come with us. We’re all immortals after all. We can hang out until you get bored of us. What do you say? [Kuromaru]: How can you speak to me like that?! [Touta]: Because we’re friends. [Kuromaru]: You can’t become friends with someone that quickly. [Touta]: You’re such a downer. [Kuromaru]: Leave me be, this is just who I am. [Touta]: Ok then, Kuromaru… let’s go peek in the girl’s bath! [Kuromaru]: What on earth are you talking about?! Yukihime should be in there right now! It’s just at the top of the cliff! [Kuromaru]: But I still don’t understand wny?! [Touta]: Calm down. Yukihime’s got a rocking body. [Kuromaru]: I-I’m not interested in her body! [Touta]: Yeah, neither am I. [Kuromaru]: Huh? [Touta]: I’ve lived with her for two years. I’ve seen her getting out of the bath naked plenty of times. [Kuromaru]: Then why do you want to peek?! [Touta]: Because it means we get to climb that cliff! [Kuromaru]: What? [Touta]: And because I heard it’s what guys do when they get together in public baths. [Kuromaru]: I haven’t the foggiest idea what you’re talking about. Not to mean, *she’s fearsome the Dark Evangel. One of the top ranking vampires in the world! Who knows that horror awaits us? [Touta]: That’s even more reason to do it! Let’s have a look! [Kuromaru]: No, you don’t get it… [Touta]: I guess I’ll just have to go it alone if you won’t join me! [Evangeline]: My, my, you two sure are noisy. I could hear everything. [Touta]: Haven’t we met…? ------------------
Flashback ------------------ [Evangeline]: You did well, boy. [Touta]: You’re from before!
Which means you’re from the village? [Evangeline]: Huh? You don’t recognize me? Pathetic. [Touta]: That’s cold! [Yukihime]: It me. Me. [Touta]: Yukihime? That shorty was you? Why’d you shrink like that?! [Yukihime]: Because that is what I really look like. I use magical aging medicine to get this “rocking body”. [Touta]: I see… [Yukihime]: But you know, Tota, peeking into the women’s bath is… really good for your health! [Touta]: O-oh! [Yukihime]: How about I cool down your enthusiasm? If you can take this bath towel off me, then I will have no choice but to show you my naked body. [Touta]: Ah, no thanks. [Yukihime]: Hm? What’s wrong? [Touta]: So you’re really a washboard lolita? That kind of thing doesn’t really do it for me… [Yukihime]: Nivis Casus! [Kuromaru]: Konoe?! What is going on up there? It can’t be! Has Evangeline shown her true colors?! [Touta]: What are you doing, Yukihime?! Wait, was that magic?! [Yukihime]: You’ve yet to see this properly. How about I show you some really old magic? Magic without using any foolish Application. Lic Lac La, Lac Lilac! [Touta]: W-Wait a sec, what are you-?! [Yukihime]: Iaculatio Grandinis! <Text: GLACIER ICE SPEARS> [Kuromaru]: Magic ice spears! That power… She really is the Dark Evangel. Konoe-kun?! [Touta]: Thanks, friend! [Kuromaru]: Wh-what?! I’m not- Oh wait, you’re immortal, so I guess I didn’t have to save you. [Touta]: Kuromaru… throw me! [Kuromaru]: Okay. Go! [Touta]: Yeah! We won! [Kuromaru]: Konoe-kun! [Yukihime]: Hm, you sure did. Very well, I guess I’ll show you a little as a reward. [Touta]: Oh, no thanks. I’m not interested in older women. [Yukihime]: Oh really? You don’t seem to understand the appeal of a woman’s body! [Touta]: I’m sorry! Forgive me! [Yukihime]: So now you want to peek? [Touta]: I can’t breath! Your toe’s in my eye! [Kuromaru]: You two are so strange. [Touta]: You finally smiled. [Kuromaru]: Wh-who wouldn’t smile at that? And besides, I guess we’re friends now, Konoe-kun. [Touta]: You’re still a wet blanket though, call me Tota. [Kuromaru]: T..Tota-kun… [Touta]: No, just Tota. [Kuromaru]: Tota… kun… [Touta]: Oh well, doesn’t matter. So you’re going to come with us? [Kuromaru]: Yeah. [Yukihime]: Kuromaru, how about you become my student? I can train you to be strong enough to defeat me. [Touta]: Hey, that’s a great idea, Yukihime! It’s decided then! [Kuromaru]: Hey, I didn’t agre-! [Touta]: So we’re fellow disciples now, huh? I’ll be counting on you, Little Bro! [Kuromaru]: Who are you calling brother?! [Touta]: By the way, why are you wearing your towel like a girl? [Yukihime]: Actually, I was wondering the same thing. Let’s have a *peak. [Kuromaru]: N-no. We don’t *bath with strangers where I’m from, that’s why… [Touta]: That’s a terrible excuse! [Kuromaru]: H-hey! [Touta]: Take it off, now! [Kuromaru]: G-get away! [Touta]: Take it off! C’mon! [Kuromaru (thinking)]: Brother, I may have found where I’m meant to belong.
[Touta]: Kuromaru! Let’s go! [Kuromaru]: Okay, Tota-kun! Yukihime-dono, I’m looking forward to training under you! [Yukihime]: Good, I’ll fight you any time. [Touta]: All right! I got a new friend and we’re heading off to the capital! [Touta]: But it still feels like we’re not getting any closer to the tower. [Kuromaru]: Well, we ARE walking. [Touta]: Hey, I just had a thought… We met Kuromaru just five days after leaving the village, right? [Yukihime]: Yes, I suppose. [Touta]: Doesn’t that mean there are a lot of us in the world? Immortals who don’t get old and don’t die? [Yukihime]: Yes, I suppose there are a lot out there. [Touta]: When what if we found them? Let’s make a whole bunch of immortal friends and form a team. [Kuromaru]: A team? What do you mean? [Touta]: Oh, I was just thinking it would be great if we immortals could help people. We can do a lot of good if we get a bunch of immortals together, or something like that. We have such amazing powers, it’s a waste not using it for the greater good! [Kuromaru]: Amazing power… [Touta]: So, what do you think? [Kuromaru]: I’ve never really thought of it that way before. [Touta]: Huh? What’s so funny, Yukihime? [Yukihime]: So you want to use your immortal powers for the good of the world? I knew something who said something similar a long time ago. [Touta]: Huh, really? [Yukihime]: Maybe it was because I had too much free time and was bored, but I thought it was a good idea. That’s why the two of us made this organizati- [Touta]: What’s going on?! [Kuromaru]: Enemies?! [Vasago]: Mistress Yukihime! We have come to- [Karin]: We have come to get you, Yukihime-sama. I waited so long for the day we would meet once more. [Touta]: What?! Yukihime, who are these guys?! [Karin]: You don’t call her “Yukihime-sama,” which means… You are the ward Yukihime-sama was taking care of for the past two years. To have such an enviable posi- That is, to be such an outrageous person, I should kill you where you stand. [Touta]: Woah, time out! Why do you want to kill me all of the sudden?! [Yukihime]: Stop it, Karin, he’s immortal too. It’ll take too long. I guess it’s time for work. Tota, this is what I was about to tell you. I’ve already made an organization of immortals. The Immortal Family, UQ Holder. |
Dubbed Version
[Touta]: Woah! This is one massive road!
It’s such a waste that no one uses it! [Yukihime]: The populace of Japan has decreased. A quarter of the land that was inhabited has now become desolate. It’s not just Japan either, it’s a worldwide trend that’s- [Touta]: --Yeah, yeah.Anyway, no matter how long we walk that tower doesn’t get any closer. [Yukihime]: You’re not even listening! [Touta]: By the way, why are you having us walk all the way there? [Yukihime]: Imagine if a bounty hunter attacked us on public transit. It’d be a total bloodbath for sure. [Touta]: Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Capital! Capital! Takin’ the elevator, to the sky! [Yukihime]: You seem to be in high spirits today. [Touta]: That’s because we’re going somewhere where I won’t know anyone. Which means there will be a load of new friends for me to make! [Yukihime]: Your optimism is way too exhausting. [Touta]: When we get to the capital, I’m gonna make a hundred friends! Oh yeah, it’s gonna be amazing! [Touta]: Look, there’s a waterfall!
[Yukihime]: Tota. [Touta]: Hm? [Yukihime]: Just so you know now, you must not forget you’ve become an immortal being. [Touta]: Huh? [Yukihime]: You will forever be 14 years old Casually making bonds with others will only lead to regret [Touta]: I’m gonna go for a quick dip, I’ll be back. [Yukihime]: That’s fine… [Touta]: Man, that Yukihime. Talk about feeding negativity to a kid..
But I guess I never really thought of immortality like that… I’ll be 14 forever… My friends will alll grow up, but I’ll be stuck looking like this. Well that’s definitely a buzz kill for you, huh? This rock feels weird. Uh, who are you? [Touta]: Ahaha, my bad...
[Kuromaru]: You scoundrel! [Touta]: What the heck was that?! That was awesome! [Kuromaru]: Back off! Who are you?! [Touta]: You’re a woman! [Kuromaru]: Who you callin’ a woman?! [Touta]: Sorry, my bad, my bad!
I just took one look at your pretty face and assumed you were a girl. But if you’re actually a guy, I don’t know why you’re angry. [Kuromaru]: Who wouldn’t react that way when a stranger fondles your butt, wouldn’t you say? [Touta]: But I said it was my bad. [Kuromaru]: That being said… no one around my age has ever been able to dodge my sword like that before. My name’s Kuromaru, a pleasure. Cool! Tota Konoe, nice to meetcha! [Kuromaru]: I see, so you’re headed over to the capital.
[Touta]: That’s right, I’m finally able to get out of the boonies. Where are you from? [Kuromaru]: Oh, uh, I came from way up there. [Touta]: Uh-? Up there… Like from the sky?! [Kuromaru]: Yes. [Touta]: Yo, bro! [Kuromaru]: Um, you’re sorta creepin’ me out here. [Touta]: I’ve always dreamed of going to outer space! You gotta tell me about it! Did you come down from the Orbital Elevator? [Kuromaru]: Uh, well I… I suppose I did. [Touta]: Rich kid! Are you loaded with cash or something?! [Kuromaru]: I wouldn’t say rich, but I suppose my family is reasonably well off. But um… Well you see, I’ve been somewhat cast out… [Touta]: What? [Kuromaru]: Until I find a certain woman, I am forbidden to return. At least not until I find “her” and complete my mission. [Touta]: Man, that sounds pretty complicated. Abd who’s this woman you’re after? [Kuromaru]: A vampire known as the Dark Evangel. She appears young, but is 700 years old. Recently, I’ve heard she’s been putting on a disguise of a much older woman. [Kuromaru (thought)]: He doesn’t have a reflection?! [Touta]: Oh, there she is. Over here! Where’d you disappear to, Yukihime? [Yukihime]: I was looking for a nice place to buy some drinks. I’ve just found out there’s an inn with a hotsprings that we should go and- [Kuromaru]: Evangeline A.K. McDowell! [Touta]: Uh, Kuro-? [Yukihime]: Oh? Shinmei-ryu, huh? This takes me back. [Touta]: Hold on a sec, just what the heck are you doing? [Kuromaru]: So you’re a vampire too then, Konoe? [Touta]: Huh? [Kuromaru]: I hail from a clan known for hunting immortals, the Fushigari. It’s our duty to return threats to humanity like yourselves to the darkness from which you spawned. [Touta]: Hey now, just what are you-? [Kuromaru]: Such a pity… I had the feeling that we could have become really good friends in the end. Shinmei-ryu secret technique… Stone Cutting Sword! [Touta]: K-Kuromaru! Kuromaru! Hey, dude! What the heck are you doing, you crazy lady! This is straight up murder! What are we going to do now?! We’re going to get wiped out for this! [Yukihime]: Take another look, child. [Touta]: The wound… [Yukihime]: Ha, to think they’re using another immortal to hunt immortals. [Touta]: Immortal? So, he’s also a… Hey, Kuromaru. You okay there? Hey! Kuromaru? Well then. [Kuromaru]: What in the heck are you doing?! [Touta]: Well that sure brought him back to life! [Kuromaru]: Why would you try to peek down my pants anyway? [Touta]: Well uh, I was checking to see if you had a dick. [Kuromaru]: Don’t say “dick”! [Touta]: Couldn’t see anything though. [Kuromaru]: Wait! Forget that. I have a duty to kill Evangeline A.K. McDowell, the evil vampire. [Yukihime]: Such a pity really, since you already lost to me. Miserably, I might add. [Kuromaru]: Hold on! I’m not done with you yet! [Touta]: Whoa, c’mon. Give it a rest you two. ------------------
Flashback ------------------ [Kuromaru’s Brother]: Kuromaru, you must go and slay the vampire Evangeline A.K. McDowell. While in the past she was feared as the Dark Evangel, she is now a mere ruin of her former self. If you are unable to defeat her, there is no place in this clan for you. In the event that you fail in this duty, do not return. Take that cursed body of yours and perish. We will have no use for you. [Kuromaru]: Of course, Big Brother. [Kuromaru]: I must defeat you… or my clan will never accept me.
I’ll be doomed to wander forever. [Yukihime]: Well, if that’s what you want, boy. If you defeat my student Tota, I’ll face you. But you’re not worth my time if you can’t. [Touta]: Uh, hey? Why are you roping me into this? [Kuromaru]: I apologize, Konoe, but I need to fight you. [Touta]: Wait, what? Hold on, Kuromaru… Kuromaru, can we just- [Kuromaru]: He dodged that? And so carelessly too... [Touta]: Hey, what was that for, huh? Look, there’s no reason we should have to fight each other! [Kuromaru]: I have reason, like I said. [Touta]: Fine, I get it, Kuromaru. So let’s fight then. But we’re going to have to add a condition to all of this. The Winner gets to demand one thing from the Loser. [Kuromaru]: What do you mean? [Touta]: I can’t fight without anything in it for me. That would just be dumb. Also, it’s already unfair that you’re the only one with a sword to fight with. [Kuromaru]: Fair enough. Condition accepted. Either way, my demand will be to face Evangeline in battle, so, take this. [Touta]: That sounds good to me and if that’s the case then... you’ve just given me a reason to fight! [Kuromaru]: What the-?! [Touta]: Oh yeah-? [Yukihime (thinking)]: Oh? These two are better than I thought. [Touta (thinking)]: He’s pretty damn strong! Looks like I’ll have to try out that thing Yukihime taught me! [Kuromaru (thinking)]: His style is all over the place, but his battle sense is amazing! But still, that won’t save you… from this! Even a vampire will slow down once his head is cut off. Sorry, Konoe. [Touta]: That was a nice try there… but it looks like I win! I thought I was gonna die. Oh wait, I guess I can’t! Kuromaru! You ok down there, buddy? Hey Yukihime, he will heal up, won’t he? [Yukihime]: Who knows? There’s different types of immortality. [Touta]: Oh thank god, he healed. I was worried. [Yukihime]: *That’s an impressive regenerative ability. [Kuromaru]: Kill me now! Just finish me off, why don’t you! [Touta]: Idiot, I’m not going to kill you. [Kuromaru]: Then what is it that you demand? Hey, is it… is it going to be something perverted? [Touta]: Huh? This is my demand of you… [Kuromaru]: Huh? [Touta]: I want you to be my friend, Kuromaru. [Touta]: A bath is totally the best thing after working up a sweat!
Good thing there was a nice place like this so near by. Right, Kuromaru? Uh, what are you doing? [Kuromaru]: Stop staring at me! Why should I be subjected to bathing you with anyway? [Touta]: Would you rather have gone with Yukihime? They don’t have mixed bathing here. [Kuromaru]: That’s not it! You’re an immortal, I’m an immortal hunter! We both should be diehard enemies now! [Touta]: Nope, so sorry! We’re the bestest of friends now! We even signed a contract to prove it. <Contract Text:> Contract Best friends, till death do us part! Tota Konoe Kuromaru Tokisaka [Kuromaru]: We’re not! You forced me to sign that thing! {Touta]: You said you’d accept any demand. Are you going to go back on your word or follow through? Speaking of which, dude, are you sure you’re really a guy down there? Why don’t you show me some proof-? [Kuromaru]: This really does feel great.
It seems like it’s been so long, since I relaxed like this. [Touta]: Hey, about that hunter clan you’re apart of, is it really that strict there? [Kuromaru]: Why are you interested? [Touta]: It’s just what you said, “In the event you fail in your duty, then just go and die.” Doesn’t seem normal. [Kuromaru]: The reason why is because they hate my immortality… The whole clan is uncomfortable with me around. I think the order to defeat Evangeline was just- Well, it was just their means to get me out of the way. But still, I just want to… [Touta]: But why would you want to go back to that kind of dumb place? [Kuromaru]: Huh? [Touta]: Hey, you should travel with us. We’re all immortals after all. We can all hang out until you get bored of the group. Sound good? [Kuromaru]: Why would you want to speak to me about such ridiculous nonsense?! [Touta]: Because you’re my buddy, that’s what buddies do. [Kuromaru]: It’s not as simple as you’re trying to make it out to be. [Touta]: You’re such a downer. [Kuromaru]: Just leave me be, this is who I am now. [Touta]: Ok then, Kuromaru… let’s go take a sneak-peek in the girl’s bath! [Kuromaru]: What on earth are you talking about, Konoe?! Yukihime should be bathing up there right now! It’s only at the top of the cliff! [Kuromaru]: But I still don’t get wny! [Touta]: Just chill, dude. Yukihime’s got a rockin’ bod for us young guys to get an eyeful. [Kuromaru]: I’m not interested in her body! [Touta]: Neither am I for that matter. [Kuromaru]: Huh? [Touta]: I’ve lived with her for two years. I’ve seen her naked getting out of the bath plenty of times. [Kuromaru]: Then why do you want to peek?! [Touta]: Because it means we get to climb that cliff! [Kuromaru]: Wha...? [Touta]: And it’s cuz I heard it’s what the guys are supposed to do when they get together and hang around in a hot springs all day. [Kuromaru]: I don’t have the slightest idea what you mean. And not to mention, she used to be feared as the Dark Evangel, all that’s evil. She’s one of the top ranking vampires in the world! Who knows how horrible her true nature is? [Touta]: That’s even more reason to do it! Let’s go! [Kuromaru]: No, you just don’t get it… [Touta]: I guess I’ll just have to do it alone if you won’t join me! [Evangeline]: My, my, you two are noisy. I could hear everything you said. [Touta]: Haven’t we met before…? ------------------
Flashback ------------------ [Evangeline]: You did well, my boy. Thank you. [Touta]: It’s you!
Which means you’re from the village? [Evangeline]: You don’t recognize me at all? How pathetic. [Touta]: That’s cold! [Yukihime]: You see now?. It’s me. [Touta]: Yukihime? You mean that shorty was you all along? Why’d you go and shrink like that? [Yukihime]: Because, Tota, that’s what my true form really looks like. I use magical aging medicine to help change my look. Plus it helps me get this “rockin’ bod”. [Touta]: Uh… [Yukihime]: But you know, Tota, peeking into the women’s bath is… extremely natural and appropriate! [Touta]: O-oh! [Yukihime]: Allow me to answer your enthusiasm. You know, if you were able to take this bath towel off of me, I might be willing to show you my naked body. [Touta]: Uh, no thanks. [Yukihime]: Huh? What? [Touta]: So you’re saying you’re really just that flat-chested little kid then? Sorry Yukihime, any talk of being naked after seeing that just really puts me off… [Yukihime]: Nivis Casus! [Kuromaru]: Konoe! Is everything alright up there? It can’t be! Has Evangeline shown her true colors?! [Touta]: What was that for, Yukihime?! Wait, was that magic just now?! [Yukihime]: Yes, and you’ve yet to see magic done properly, my boy. How about I show you some real ancient magic? True magic that doesn’t have to rely on Apps. Lic Lac La, Lac Lilac! [Touta]: W-Wait a sec, what are you-?! [Yukihime]: Iaculatio Grandinis! <Text: GLACIER ICE SPEARS> [Kuromaru]: She really is the Dark Evangel. Those were magic ice spears. All that power... Just hold on! [Touta]: Thanks, man. You’re a real friend! [Kuromaru]: What? No, I’m- Oh wait, I didn’t have to come and save you. You’re an immortal. [Touta]: Kuromaru… throw me! [Kuromaru]: You got it. Slide! [Touta]: Yeah! We totally beat you! [Kuromaru]: Konoe! [Yukihime]: Hm, true. You’ve improved. [Touta]: Yep! [Yukihime]: Very well then, I’ll just have to show you a little peek as your reward, Tota. [Touta]: Uh no, that’s okay. I’m not interested in naked flabby old women. [Yukihime]: Oh really? Then you don’t seem to understand the appeal of mature women’s body! [Touta]: You’re toes in my eye! Ow! [Yukihime]: So now you want to peek? [Touta]: Stop! [Kuromaru]: You two are so strange. It’s ridiculous. [Touta]: Yeah, but you’ve finally smiled again though. [Kuromaru]: Well, I guess that... it wouldn’t hurt to agree to being friends with you for now, Konoe. [Touta]: You’re so uptight, call me Tota. [Kuromaru]: T..Tota… [Touta]: Just Tota. [Kuromaru]: Tota… weird… [Touta]: Oh well, I tried. So you’re gonna come with us, Kuromaru? [Kuromaru]: Well why not. [Yukihime]: Kuromaru, how about you become one of my students? Then you can train to become strong enough to one day defeat me. [Touta]: Hey, that sounds like a terrific idea, Yukihime! So it’s decided! [Kuromaru]: Hey, I didn’t agree to that! [Touta]: We’re both her students! We will be brothers in arms! [Kuromaru]: Who you callin’ brother?! [Touta]: By the way, what’s with you wearing your towel like that? Are you a girl, after all?! [Yukihime]: Actually, now I’m intrigued by what’s under there as well. Let’s have a peek. [Kuromaru]: N-no. It’s just that we don’t ever bathe with others where I come from, so that’s why I… [Touta]: That’s the worst excuse I ever heard! [Kuromaru]: H-hey! Stop it! [Touta]: Come on, take it off! [Kuromaru]: Get away! [Touta]: Take it off! Just a quick look! [Kuromaru (thinking)]: Brother, I did it. After being an outcast, I may have found a place where I belong.
[Touta]: Kuromaru! You ready to get going? [Kuromaru]: Okay, I’m ready now. Miss Yukihime, I’m looking forward to training under you. I’m at your service. [Yukihime]: Good, I’ll fight you whenever you want. [Touta]: Excellent! Not only do I have an awesome new friend, but we’re heading off again to finally see the capital! [Touta]: But it still feels like we’re not getting any closer to the tower. [Kuromaru]: Well, we ARE walking. [Touta]: Hey, I just had a thought… We met Kuromaru just five days after leaving the village, right? [Yukihime]: Yes, I suppose. [Touta]: Don’t you think that means there’s a lot of us hanging around in the world? Immortals who can’t age or die? [Yukihime]: You’re right, I guess. I suppose there are a lot out there. [Touta]: I see. Hey then, how does this sound? We go gather a whole bunch of immortal friends and put together a super team? [Kuromaru]: A team? What do you mean by that, Tota? [Touta]: I was thinking being an immortal is absolutely perfect for helping people. If we go and get a bunch of immortals together, I figure we can probably do some pretty neat things! We all have such amazing powers, it would be a waste not to use them for the greater good. [Kuromaru]: Amazing powers… [Touta]: What do you think? [Kuromaru]: Well, I guess I really never thought of it in that way before. [Touta]: Huh? Uh, what’s so funny here? [Yukihime]: So you want to use your immortal powers for good? I knew someone who said that exact same thing a long time ago. [Touta]: Huh, really? [Yukihime]: Maybe it was because I had too much free time and was bored, but I thought it was an interesting idea. That’s why the two of us made this organiza- [Touta]: What’s going on?! [Kuromaru]: Enemies?! [Vasago]: Hello, Mistress Yukihime! We’ve come to- [Karin]: We have come to pick you up, My Mistress. I’ve waited so long for this day. It’s felt like eternity until we could meet once more. [Touta]: What?! Yukihime, who are these guys?! [Karin]: He didn’t use proper respect. Then you must be the one that mooched off the mistress for two years. To be so lucky... This insolent bastard deserves to be killed right on the spot. [Touta]: Woah, time out, lady! Calm down! Why do you feel the need to kill me all of the sudden?! [Yukihime]: That’s enough, Karin. He’s an immortal as well. It wouldn’t be worth all the hassle. So, I guess it’s time to go back to work. Tota, this is what I was about to tell you. You see, we’ve already made one, an organization of immortals. The Immortal Family, UQ Holder. |
