Gr..iffith….. (sobbing)

Griffith

Caska, I’m sorry for making you worry about me

5

Rickert

Since you fell down, Caska’s been so quiet…

Griffith

-…I’m sorry

-You look nice in this dress..

6-7

Several days later, a big funeral was held for the Queen of Midland

8

-It’s said that for the dead of the Queen and the assassination attempt to Griffith was done by Chudan, or by those who wants to break the peace treaty between Chuda and Midland

-There’s a big gossip within the Palace

-The next morning, someone found a corpse of a person in Windum Castle whom is thought to be behind all these….But there’s not enough evidence to connect all the missing dots

-The truth fades to the darkness

9

A month later… (Gutts packs his stuff)

10

(Gutts takes a glance at armor and leaves the room)

11

Caska

-“Snowing…?”

-“Who’s walking…down there…this late at night?”

-“!”

-“Gutts…!?”

Corkus

And that’s the major accomplishment for that girl…(Talking to Judeau)

12

Judeau

-Caska? Where are you going in pajamas?

-What a hurry….

Corkus

Probably going to rest room.

Caska

-Gutts !

-Gutts…Are you…

13

Caska

-Are you…really leaving?

-….

-Wait….wait a minute

-Although we’ve been quarrelling quite a bit, we are war buddies..

-The Hawk Band just got through a big obstacle, everything’s about to start….and you are…going to…

Gutts

I’ve …..already decided.

14

Caska

But..!!

Gutts

-I…..

-I can’t be buried in Grifftih’s dream

Caska

But….

15

Gutts

If you and Grifftih be together, that’d be nice…huh?

Judeau

Hey

Caska

Corkus…Judeau

Judeau

Come with us for a bit

Gutts

……

16

Caska

-“Griffth……”

-“Griffith would be able to stop him….!”

17

Bar Crowd

-Look at that…

-They are the Hawk’s soilders

Corkus

What’s up guys (talks to Bar Crowd)

Judeau

Hey Corkus..just behave a bit today

Gutts

…….

Judeau

Well, what’s going on..why are you leaving today?

Gutts

It’s not a sudden decision, I’ve been thinking prior to the battle

Corkus

Hey..there…cute sister… (Talks to a waitress)

18

Judeau

-Are you unhappy at something?

Corkus

-Hey..what time do you get off? (to waitress)

Waitress

Eh?

Gutts

-The Hawk Band’s different from other armies

-It thought a mindless mercenary like me to know the word “friend”

Judeau

That’s not something the old Gutts would say…

Gutts

-It’s been fun for the last 3 years

-It’s like I’ve been in the joyful party all along

-I’m not unhappy with anything

Corkus

-What’s your name?

Waitress

Marie

Judeau

But….why?

Corkus

So..noisy…shut up!!!

Judeau

Corkus …calm down…

Corkus

-I’m Corkus, one of the Hawk’s army….

-I’m going to court some girls…Are there any problems?

19

Corkus

-Any taverns or restaurants in Windum, just say my name….you can get food and drink for free…

-On the street girls would cheer at me…of course because I’m one of the heroes who saved the nation

-Soon I’ll be in the palace

-Resign from being a mere solider…and probably would have my own castle

-It’s something a commoner would never be able to reach

-But we did it!!

-We had to kill so many enemies…eventually we acquired this for ourselves.

20

Corkus

-But you are going to throw this away….easily

-Like throwing away old cloths, are you nuts?

Judeau

Corkus….

Corkus

-Sh….person like you who only know how to swing a sword would probably unable to dance in a ball room amongst those aristocrats..

-You can only swing swords…but don’t know how to treat ladies.

Gutts

-You are right…

-I can only swing sword.

21

Gutts

-I know the taste of killing since I was a kid

-Battle field was the only thing..I could care less about other things

-I kill to survive…and that’s everything

-But it’d have been nice to have someone turn around and watch over me.

-….Once I step onto the battle field, those stuff are useless in killing

-It’s only a worthless plea by a young boy.

22

Gutts

-Even..so…I finally found someone  who will turn around and watch me.

-I finally found him

-He had nothing…but his ambition to take

-….No…I think he has the ability to take

23

Gutts

-That’s why for him……he’d take himself to the top

-For he’d not choose someone weak by his side

-It’s strange

-In my eyes…he’s even brighter….

-I can’t stand …being in his dream…..looking up to see him

24

Gutts

-I want to stand next to him with my own ability

-I will not let him look down on me…
