WHEREIN THE SINNERS EACH SHARE THEIR IMPRESSIONS OF THE HAUNTED MANSION
| Speaker | Dialogue | |
|---|---|---|
Nay, tease me not, jest me not as though my venture is one for fools.
| ||
I have already explained that you do not know of true adventure.
| ||
We shall soon walk a path of suffering, its intensity unprecedented and monumental.
| ||
Do you not see the grand gate of adventure risen, unlatched before us?
| ||
Thus, silence your prattling and resume the preparations; let us leave posthaste.
| ||
…….
| ||
… This is quite odd, however.
| ||
…….
| ||
Since when was Rocinante given the gift of speech?
| ||
| ||
 |
SINCLAIR |
I'm worried about Xichun and the other Fixers. They were assigned to Area 2, right? I hope they're alright… |
 |
HONG LU |
Xichun will be okay, I'm sure. Oh, that reminds me… I have a funny family in-joke to share… |
 |
GREGOR |
Oho, let's hear it. |
|
|
HONG LU |
It goes like this. Any of our siblings who managed to survive on their own up to the age of thirteen in our household will probably be a-okay even if they were to be tossed out in the middle of the Outskirts! Hehe… |
|
|
GREGOR |
… Ahm. Okay, we should hurry. I bet Area 2's just as bad… if not worse, than Area 1. If something bad were to happen to your sister in front of your eyes— |
|
|
HONG LU |
Then I will gather her remains and lay them in her final resting place when I return home, whenever that may be. |
|
|
HONG LU |
Xichun would have done the same for me. |
|
|
GREGOR |
… Yeah? |
|
|
GREGOR |
… Anyways~ Whew! Ain't this place a bit drafty, fellas? |
 |
ISHMAEL |
Yeah. This place is just… how should I put it… It's eerily quiet. Almost spooky, even… |
 |
RODION |
Welp, I hope this is the good kind of quiet~ |
|
|
RODION |
Y'know, what if it's just quiet down here because the Fixers who made it here first already took out all the Bloodfiends? |
 |
DANTE |
<It is pretty suffocating to just sit here, not knowing who won the fight… or if there even was a fight.> |
|
|
GREGOR |
Let's try not to get added to that wall of missing persons posters… |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
How much time do we have until La Manchaland closes? |
 |
YI SANG |
Five hours, by my estimation. |
|
|
RODION |
Nice, nice. I'd say we're moving at a decent pace. Hey, what if we're the first group that managed to activate their Area's device? |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Well, we did suffer some losses… |
 |
OUTIS |
Losses? I believe we've only pruned a traitor in our midst. |
|
|
YI SANG |
Yet… aught sits ill at the back of my mind still. |
|
|
YI SANG |
It was not as though we passed the first Area by our own will and effort; it was the command of the man in his magician's outfit by which we were 'made' to pass through. |
|
|
RODION |
Well… he was a pretty weird Bloodfiend. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
R-right? And… I couldn't quite tell what it was, but there was something familiar about him… |
|
|
RODION |
Something familiar? Hm, I guess he did seem kinda similar to Ryōshū, in that artsy-fartsy way. |
 |
RYŌSHŪ |
……. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
T-that's cute… is that a cat-shaped plume? |
|
|
RYŌSHŪ |
Hoo… It's you. Weeping and sniveling. |
|
|
RYŌSHŪ |
An expression of the consequences, should you mistranslate me in the future. |
|
|
DANTE |
<…….> |
|
|
GREGOR |
Ooh…? Huh, this place is pretty neat. |
|
|
DANTE |
<Ooh, what is it?> |
|
|
GREGOR |
Look here, on the map. They have an infirmary. |
|
|
GREGOR |
'Guests injured on a ride, guests who need a moment to calm down, or any Bloodfiends who are in urgent need of blood, you can find help here!'… |
|
|
GREGOR |
Huh, ain't that awfully nice of them. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
They said that La Manchaland was intended to be where Bloodfiends and humans can peacefully, happily coexist. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
Maybe… a long, long time ago… it really did work for a while. At least according to the descriptions on this map. |
 |
DON QUIXOTE |
Nonsense! 'Twould be an impossible task, most evidently! |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
An adventure such as this cannot possibly exist in any tale of Don Quixote. A place to coexist with villains…? Pah, absurd… |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Hmm, this subject doth remind me of a case Lord Siegfried had once resolved. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
A battle atop a bridge, it was! Back then, the villains suggested a compromise most devious, not unlike the one suggested by the wicked ones who inhabit this place. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
They sought to seduce him with promises of riches and power, to have him stand with them! |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Yet Lord Siegfried refused to bend his knee! |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
He answered their suggestion with but a mighty socking against the villain's jaw…! |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Oh, that one-hour edit of the 'battle'? Wasn't it pretty obvious that it was staged— |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
… and declared thusly! |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
'Thou shan't make a purchasable product of I, Siegfried, with thy contemptible money!' |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
AND! Fired off his super special laser beam cannon at the villain! ZWAAAAAHHHH— |
|
|
OUTIS |
Attention, men. |
|
|
OUTIS |
There are remains of Bloodbags strewn about in close proximity to this attraction. |
|
|
OUTIS |
It's called… let's see. 'Haunted: Bloody Mary'… |
|
|
RODION |
Hm. Is this one of those, uh, 'haunted mansion' attractions? |
|
|
RODION |
Hey, Sinclair. Do ya think these haunted mansions have actual— |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
S-stop right there! Hey, my parents took me to an amusement park too, okay? S-so don't think you can use this to tease me or scare me like— |
|
|
RODION |
… It was a genuine question. I've never been to an amusement park, you know. |
|
|
YI SANG |
Ahh… |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
I-I'm sorry. |
|
|
RODION |
Eh, don'tcha worry about it! So, do these places actually have ghosts or nah? |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
I-I'm fairly sure they have some pretty cheap-looking animatronics or mannequins at worst. |
 |
MEURSAULT |
As attractions of that category often admit guests of all ages, including children, they do not place real paranatural entities such as ghosts inside them. However, they often install various tools and visual effects to stimulate fear responses in their guests. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
Yeah, these are usually family attractions. |
| [Static.] | ||
Where's your family? Your siblings?
| ||
I never had anyone, not even on the day I was born. I've only known… the cold… the loneliness…
| ||
| [Static.] | ||
Then let me…
| ||
… grant you the will to live.
| ||
The family I shall grant you will forever be by your side. Come with me.

IN WHICH IS RECOUNTED THE SINNERS' ADVENTURE IN THE ENCOUNTER WITH 'HAUNTED: BLOODY MARY', THE NATURE OF WHICH IS UNCLEAR WHETHER IT IS A HAUNTED MANSION OR A BLOODFIENDS' DEN
Pre-battle
| Speaker | Dialogue | |
|---|---|---|
 | ||
|
|
SINCLAIR |
It's been so long since I visited one of these haunted mansions… The last time I was at a place like this, I thought when the next time came I'd be here with my family again. Not… all on my own like this… |
|
|
RODION |
All on your own? C'mon, kiddo… You're here with your coworkers~ |
 |
HEATHCLIFF |
Ahm. Coworkers who are… kinda like family, innit? |
|
|
RYŌSHŪ |
……. |
|
|
OUTIS |
Enough chit-chat. Everyone, direct your attention to the floor. There's something there. |
|
|
OUTIS |
… Yes, there are numerous signs of battle. Just as I expected. |
|
|
YI SANG |
A stench, this miasma of rot fills my lungs… it has been some time since the battle took place. |
|
|
YI SANG |
… No body here appears to be a Fixer who participated in our ongoing mission. |
|
|
DANTE |
<There's blood everywhere…> |
 |
Narrator |
[Grainy recording.] I welcome you all with all my heart, dear guests, to Haunted: Bloody Mary. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
… It's all torn up. |
|
|
MEURSAULT |
It can be extrapolated from the torn patterns that it was intended to be displayed in its current, tattered, form. |
|
|
Narrator |
You find yourselves in the castle of an ancient, once-prosperous kingdom that has long fallen to ruin. |
|
|
Narrator |
Now, you must explore every corner of this derelict castle to unveil the true secrets of the old kingdom. |
|
|
Narrator |
Please note that there are several installations with the explicit purpose of inducing fear. If you have a heart condition, or cannot handle horror very well, please reconsider partaking in this expedition. |
|
|
GREGOR |
So he says. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
W-well! V-v-v-v-verily, I have no such fear in my heart! Pah! |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
Aagh! Don't squeeze me so tightly, Don Quixote!… Can you let go of my arm, please…? |
|
|
Narrator |
Hm? Sancho, your grace, if you have something you would like to tell me, please come closer and… |
|
|
Narrator |
I missed a line, you say? What… ah, I see. |
|
|
Narrator |
Ahm, ahm. Let the fire of courage light your way in this adventure of cold, bone-chilling fear. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
The tour must start somewhere around here… Hm. That mirror's gotta be where the Bloodfiends used to hide to shock their guests. And look, that ceiling panel's slightly ajar. That's probably where— |
 |
Angry Bloodfiend |
Keeeeeh! I hate smartasses who can't keep their mouths shut! Stop explaining things! |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
HEEAAAAGH!!!!! |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Bloody hell! |
|
|
DANTE |
<Huh, she was right…> |
|
|
Angry Bloodfiend |
Don't you understand that the real fun of Haunted: Bloody Mary is walking into a scare knowing that it's going to happen?! Why can't you just be a good guest?! |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Sorry, I'm just not that nice. |
|
|
Angry Bloodfiend |
We were just going to let you through, but… she's really getting on my nerves! |

WHEREIN IS DISCUSSED THE BLOODFIENDS IN HIDING AND THE FIXERS WHO ARRIVED FIRST
Pre-battle
| Speaker | Dialogue | |
|---|---|---|
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Right, then. Was that the last of the Bloodfiends here? |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Mhm! 'Twas a victory in our favor! |
|
|
RYŌSHŪ |
No. There's more. |
|
|
RYŌSHŪ |
Trembling rats inside that coffin. They lack even a morsel of shame. |
|
|
Surprised Bloodfiend |
Gah! Holy shit! |
|
|
GREGOR |
L-look who's talking… |
|
|
DANTE |
<… Ryōshū, can you see through walls, by any chance?> |
|
|
RYŌSHŪ |
I only smelled their dirty cowardice. |
|
|
Surprised Bloodfiend |
… Did… did they leave? |
|
|
HONG LU |
Who do you mean by 'they'? |
|
|
Surprised Bloodfiend |
The monsters who came to hunt us… those… bastards going around smashing our rides and attractions… |
|
|
HONG LU |
Ohh~ I think I know who you're talking about. Did they make it safely past this attraction? |
|
|
Surprised Bloodfiend |
Probably…? |
|
|
OUTIS |
You didn't get a good look at them? |
|
|
Surprised Bloodfiend |
We had no choice. Our roles were to jump out and scare people during the 'The Banquet with Bloodfiends' scene, but… we stayed put in here because they were even scarier… |
|
|
Surprised Bloodfiend |
Th-the visitors used to scream and run when we'd jump out of these coffins… They really, really loved it… We even took pictures with them once they were done with the attraction… |
|
|
Surprised Bloodfiend |
Hey, guys… wanna know something cool? We're running an event where we'll take a free commemorative picture with you for only 400ml of blood. How's that, how's that? Don't ya wanna leave a picture of this spoooooky experience? |
|
|
Surprised Bloodfiend |
400ml is nothing, right? It's just a little trickle of blood with no danger to your health. I even heard that you humans have to draw blood once in a while anyway to renew your blood supply and keep things fresh and healthy. You all wanna live long, healthy lives, don't you? I betcha do! |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Mate, you serious…? |
|
|
Surprised Bloodfiend |
Heeugh! No, no. I'm sorry. I won't drink your blood. Not even a drop. I… I didn't want to be a part of that plan anyway… I just wanted to get out of here. |
|
|
Surprised Bloodfiend |
… That reminds me. I wonder what happened to the one who managed to escape? I should've run away too, when I had the chance… |
|
|
DANTE |
<…….> |
 |
FAUST |
It is likely that he is referring to Cassetti. |
|
|
Surprised Bloodfiend |
But… would outside be any better? How will I live on? Hiding in sewers like rats… hiding from humans…? |
|
|
Surprised Bloodfiend |
I don't want that life… no, but this place is also just… so… ahh… |
|
|
Surprised Bloodfiend |
We're cornered… there's nothing we can do! We have no options left! It's either die or live a life worse than dying…! |
|
|
Surprised Bloodfiend |
This accursed La Manchaland! |

HERE IT IS RECOUNTED THE TALE OF <THE FORLORN KING AND THE FAMILY THAT WAS ONCE HAPPY>
Pre-battle
| Speaker | Dialogue | |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Narrator |
[Grainy recording.] Tzzzt… zzzt… |
|
|
Narrator |
Congratulations, O brave adventurers. You have uncovered every secret of the kingdom. |
|
|
Narrator |
It is time I let you leave. Should you face such terrors in the world beyond, remember your bravery here and triumph over them as you have today. |
|
|
Narrator |
And now, please give a warm welcome to the Bloodfiends of the attraction 'Haunted: Bloody Mary'. They'll be here for the "Spooky Scary Photoshoot with Bloodfiends". |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
And the narration just stops there, huh. Well, we already took care of the Bloodfiends who were supposed to show up on cue, so… yeah. Makes sense. |
|
|
RYŌSHŪ |
He would've G.U.H. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
… "He would've graced us himself", she says. |
 |
Narrator |
[Clear voice.] What misfortune! Every clue that may have shed light on the secrets of this tragic kingdom's history has all been pulverized by the guests who passed through before you. |
|
|
DANTE |
<… Did the voice just change? It wasn't just the audio quality this time, right?> |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
… 'Tis the voice of that Sansón. |
 | ||
|
|
Narrator |
And our dear Bloodfiend actors who have put so much effort into giving you a good surprise have all disappeared as well. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
… We have brought righteous judgment upon those evil wretches. |
|
|
Narrator |
Even the gentleman responsible for that narration… |
|
|
Narrator |
Well, perhaps in place of a photoshoot, we could slot in a brief explanation about the secrets of this kingdom. |
 | ||
|
|
Narrator |
[Brief feedback.] … Long, Long ago, a lonesome king resided within the towering walls of this great castle. |
|
|
Narrator |
Enduring so many years in such a desolate place… wore him down. |
|
|
Narrator |
Lonely mornings, silent nights. The king's heart forever a hollow void. |
|
|
Narrator |
So, this soul-crushing loneliness drove the king to yearn for… a family. |
|
|
Narrator |
Desperately. Oh, so desperately. |
 | ||
|
|
Narrator |
So, the king began turning his wish into reality. Forging a family of his own, blood-bound, to spend the rest of their lives together until the end of days. |
|
|
Narrator |
The king's love for his family was bottomless and generous; soon, the cold, desolate castle became a cozy home brimming with warm laughter. |
|
|
Narrator |
Yet, perhaps… happiness simply isn't a thing that lasts. |
 | ||
|
|
Narrator |
It was on one of those many happy days when a knight, hailing from a faraway kingdom, arrived at the gates of this castle. |
|
|
Narrator |
The knight was a traveler and a wanderer with hundreds of adventures and thousands of tales to tell, collected from hither and thither and yonder beyond the world outside the castle. |
|
|
Narrator |
The king, who had spent his entire life never setting so much as a foot outside the castle, requested that the knight recount tales of those adventures to him. |
 | ||
|
|
Narrator |
The knight, at want of any reason to refuse this request, said as such: "O honored king! Verily, I shall regale thee with tales of the worlds I've witnessed, the adventures I've undertaken!" |
|
|
Narrator |
Soon, something new, something different, began to fill the castle—tales of thrilling adventures. Some days, they would talk of a long voyage at sea, of heroes braving the relentless waves. Some days, they would whisper the heartbreaking, tragic tale of lovers. Some days, they would sing of a hero's perilous encounter with an unyielding monster… and it kept going, and going, and going, as though 'the end' was an idea alien to them. |
|
|
Narrator |
As the king spent days upon days without sleep or rest, lost in the tales of adventures, he soon came to a grave realization. |
|
|
Narrator |
That his family of blood… this confined happiness locked within the castle… cannot fill that void in his heart. |
 | ||
|
|
Narrator |
So, the king began to fill that emptiness with tales of adventures the knight regaled him with. And his infinite love for his family started to grow in a different direction. Toward adventure. Toward the knight. And toward the world outside the periphery of his castle. |
|
|
Narrator |
The family thought it wouldn't last. It was all but a fleeting dream, after all—just a brief, silly whim in which he fancied himself as what he was not, donning himself a pair of ragged boots and wielding an iron lance. |
|
|
Narrator |
The family waited. Waited for the king, their creator who not only gave them love… but bequeathed them the same void of the heart, to love them, and only them, again. |
|
|
Narrator |
Yet, for all their waiting, what came thereafter from the king's mouth was bitter to their ears. |
 | ||
|
|
Narrator |
"Let us bring down the walls of this castle! Let us make friends with those outside!" declared the king. |
|
|
Narrator |
The family was afraid. To bring down the castle meant that their comfortable, familiar, and eternal home and nest was to be no more. |
 | ||
|
|
Narrator |
But the family loved the lonely king and his will, enough to help him demolish his own castle. So the deed was done, spades in their hands. |
|
|
Narrator |
Yet… those who lived outside the castle were far too different from those who lived within. |
|
|
Narrator |
The king's family had to give up so many things. |
|
|
Narrator |
Happiness. Joy. Ecstasy. Pleasure. Hope. Anticipation… |
|
|
Narrator |
They had to give them all up, because otherwise… they could not become friends with those outside the castle. |
|
|
Narrator |
So the king outlawed happiness from his family. |
|
|
Narrator |
Because he believed that they could be happy merely by watching the happiness of others, of those who lived outside the castle, blossom. That happiness was something that could be shared. |
|
|
Narrator |
Believing that their happiness could be our own, in time. |
|
|
Narrator |
All of our pursuits of happiness… were deigned a sin. |
|
|
Narrator |
So I ask: why must we repent for our happiness? |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
There were so many mentions of 'family'… What do you suppose he's trying to say? |
|
|
RYŌSHŪ |
A load of shit, that's what. |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
……. |
|
|
HONG LU |
How interesting. I wonder if that family ever had real happiness to begin with? |
|
|
HONG LU |
Ah, look; I see the exit sign over there. Looks like this is where the attraction ends? |
|
|
DANTE |
<… Y-yeah. It says something under there…> |
|
|
GREGOR |
Consultation session… |
|
|
YI SANG |
Consultations of what kind, and on which subject… One must wonder. |
|
|
RODION |
Hmm… anything, I guess? Or maybe it's like… a confession? |
|
|
GREGOR |
Huh. I know it's clearly not true anymore, but… |
|
|
GREGOR |
… La Manchaland must've put in a lot of effort back in the day. |
|
|
YI SANG |
Indeed. Perhaps… they once dreamed of coexistence. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
… Nay. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Nothing but wicked trickery, all. |

|
Praying Bloodfiend |
Are you here for the consul… excuse me. For the confession? |
|
|
OUTIS |
Confession? What are you talking about? |
|
|
Praying Bloodfiend |
Within this room is the one who forgives our sins. |
|
|
Praying Bloodfiend |
But before you enter… take a deep breath. And please, give an honest answer to my questions. |
|
|
Praying Bloodfiend |
First. How intense is your desire for blood today? |
|
|
Praying Bloodfiend |
One for "a lot". Two for "mildly". Three for "somewhat". Four for "Intensely, unbearably". Five for "It is driving me insane". Six for "It's killing me". |
|
|
RODION |
… This one kinda seems out of it, too. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Whatever nonsense art thou speaking of? 'Tis none, of course! |
|
|
Praying Bloodfiend |
Then here's my second question. Did you consume your hemobar today? One for "yes", and two for "no". |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
Wai— |
|
|
Praying Bloodfiend |
DON'T! Don't Cut me off! You must answer all of these questions to be granted audience with the Priest. |
|
|
Praying Bloodfiend |
If you have not consumed a hemobar today, then please explain your reasoning. |
|
|
Praying Bloodfiend |
… Dammit, isn't it obvious?! It tastes like shit! Even sucking blood from an insect would taste better than that! You'd agree, wouldn't you? Huh?! |
|
|
RODION |
Oh, boy… |
|
|
DANTE |
<Guys… get ready.> |
|
|
Praying Bloodfiend |
Last question: did you feel the parchedness in your throat when you looked at a human today? Say yes, no, yes, no, YES, NO. YES, NO. YES YES YES YESYESYESYESSSSS!!! |
|
|
Praying Bloodfiend |
YES! ALWAYS! LIKE I'M ABOUT TO GO INSANE! No, actually, not really. Not even for a moment. |

|
|
ISHMAEL |
So that Priest is… in there, right? |
|
|
Praying Bloodfiend |
You're going to have to wait your turn… the other… ones sought the Priest too… Must've been sinners as well… |

|
HONG LU |
Ha ha. |
|
|
GREGOR |
This one's almost dead. What's the point of keeping him alive? |
|
|
OUTIS |
… Isn't it obvious? These are signs of torture. |
|
|
OUTIS |
It seems that the device in Area 2 has already been activated… So what are you torturing him for? Prying for more information? |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
Yes. Haven't I told you already? |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
My goal isn't the eradication of La Manchaland. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Okay. But I doubt you came all the way out here just to enjoy torturing some Bloodfiend. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
You're right. We're not like those Bloodfiend Hunters… we don't torture them for sport. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
The Hunters exist only to inflict as much pain as possible against as many Bloodfiends they can get their hands on, you know? They don't even care about the money. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
But I don't care about either of those. What I'm looking for is a specific piece of information I came all the way in here for. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
Well, you arrived just in time. I was just about to crush its skull and brain within it, anyway. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
No amount of pain could wake it from… whatever this dazed state it's in. As you can see… |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
… it must've been long driven mad from pain. Reminds you of the Heishou of our family huh, big brother? |
|
|
HONG LU |
……. |
|
|
The Priest |
Seeing you and your… friends… reminds me… of one of the visitors to my confessional. |
|
|
The Priest |
I don't quite recall when it was, but a Bloodfiend by the name of Lorenzo became a repeat visitor to the confessional. At first, I wasn't sure why he would feel the need to visit me; he simply exuded positivity that much. |
|
|
The Priest |
'Oh, dear Priest. I'm doing great today! These hemobars really are some impressive inventions.' |
|
|
The Priest |
'Oh, I gobbled up one-hundred-and-ten hemobars today. In one sitting… This has to be some record, right?' |
|
|
The Priest |
Tragically, Lorenzo's positivity did not last. |
|
|
The Priest |
'Today I… licked a syringe for three hours. There was a droplet of blood on that thing… and ah, I can't forget that blissful taste lingering on the needle.' |
|
|
The Priest |
'I didn't eat a single hemobar today. We've known for a while now that these stupid bricks don't do anything. They do jack shit for us, and you know that.' |
|
|
The Priest |
'How much longer are we… are we going to have to live like this?' |
|
|
The Priest |
I knew the answer to his question, so I gave it to him. "You know this already, Lorenzo…" |
|
|
The Priest |
"From endless forbearance comes coexistence." |
|
|
The Priest |
"So sing and cheer louder! The more pain you feel, bury it, suppress it with laughter! Let laughter never end here, at La Manchaland!" |
|
|
The Priest |
However… the last time I saw a true, genuine smile on Lorenzo's face… |
|
|
The Priest |
… was moments before he was buried under this place, his head burst open, his brain spilling. |
|
|
The Priest |
It made me curious. |
|
|
The Priest |
What is the meaning of burying someone who lives still? |
|
|
The Priest |
You and I would never know the answer to that question, would we? |
 | ||
|
|
The Priest |
Did you bury the body of Cassetti yourself as well, hm? That fugitive? |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
…! U-unhand me…! |
|
|
DANTE |
<Don Quixote!> |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
Yeah, that's enough of this nonsense. Get out of my way. |
| [Flash of red.] | ||
 |
Wei |
Ngh… |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
…! |
|
|
Sansón |
The Priest had the most profound faith of them all. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
When did…? |
|
|
DANTE |
<…! The magician…!> |
|
|
Sansón |
The faith that everything will be alright. The faith that everything shall be as he willed. The faith that we shall all find happiness at the end of all things. |
|
|
Sansón |
And he was the only one of us who did not turn his back to our suffering. |
|
|
Sansón |
So… when more and more of us began losing grip of our patience, he was the first to reach out to them. Gave them a helping hand. |
|
|
Sansón |
Yet… the one who cares for the hearts of others cannot help but fail to tend to his own. |
|
|
Sansón |
Alone in the corner of this tiny, tiny room… the Priest's heart ailed and withered. |
|
|
Sansón |
How many of us knew this, I wonder. |
|
|
GREGOR |
… Hey. I'm really happy for you that you've mastered your art of butting naturally into conversations like this. |
|
|
GREGOR |
But you're sorely mistaken if you think you can just pluck your friend away again, got that? |
|
|
Sansón |
Let us be precise, hm? I am here only to continue the tale. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Villain! Hast thou come here to distract us once again with thy vile tricks?! |
|
|
Sansón |
No, no. Of course not. |
|
|
Sansón |
My vile tricks… |
|
|
Sansón |
… are all for you, and none other. |
|
|
Sansón |
Only for you. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Wh-what…? |
|
|
Sansón |
Well, that's enough misery for a tale, hm? |
|
|
Sansón |
You have so many more riveting tales of adventures to share, don't you? |
|
|
Sansón |
O Don Quixote, the great adventurer. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
… Many a great adventure have I undertaken, yet I have no tale to tell for one so vile as thee. |
|
|
Sansón |
My… I should have been more mindful. I suppose stepping onto the stage all on your lonesome must be a tad embarrassing, hm? |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
That is not what I— |
|
|
Sansón |
I fully understand. It is no easy task to command the entire audience alone on the stage. |
|
|
Sansón |
Allow me to offer you some assistance. |
| [Static.] | ||
Halt! Halt, Rocinante…!
| ||
| [Static. class=responsive-image|This image flashes briefly.] | ||
I don't want to leave, I don't! Why do you refuse to obey me…?
| ||
STOP!!!!!
| ||
| [Static.] | ||
|
|
DANTE |
<That… was…> |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Wh… What… what was that…? |
|
|
Sansón |
I must've slipped. Please, it has been a while since my last show. |
|
|
RODION |
Slipped? |
|
|
Sansón |
Sometimes, the order of things go out of whack when the play reaches its crescendo and the swelling emotions sweep you off your feet. |
|
|
Sansón |
I offer my sincere apologies; let us begin anew. |
|
|
Sansón |
From the day of that fateful duel against the Knight of the White Moon. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
That duel… was one of the greatest battles I have ever had the honor of partaking in. |
|
|
Sansón |
Indeed. That duel was the first meeting of Don Quixote and the Knight of the White Moon. |
|
|
Sansón |
The same Knight who guided our Don Quixote, the adventurer, to the river in the deep… to the River of Oblivion. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
……. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
River in the deep… |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
Manager, I think I know what's going on. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
That man is— [Costume donned.] |
|
|
Sansón |
Now, now. Let's focus on our roles for now, shall we? |
|
|
Sansón |
Let's see here… |
|
|
Sansón |
… The Knight was the first one ever to match your strength. Correct? |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Verily. The Knight was… |
| [Stage props assemble.] | ||
 | ||
 |
Don Quixote |
… one of truly impressive might. |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Shite, not again… |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
…! |
|
|
RODION |
Ngh, this is gettin' real annoying… |
|
|
Don Quixote |
The Knight of the White Moon was garbed in the rags of an outfit that appeared rather unfamiliar and ridiculous… |
|
|
Don Quixote |
'Twas the Knight who challenged me first as well. Forsooth, I was quite impressed by that daring courage. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
Perchance the Knight was curious to test my might, as my name was known far and wide in all corners of the City through mine adventures. |
|
|
Sansón |
… A great adventurer like you would have accepted that duel with gusto, certainly? |
|
|
Don Quixote |
Indubitably! I replied thusly: "A true adventurer cowers not from a duel once challenged! Let us battle, O brave Knight!" |
|
|
Sansón |
Thus began the storm of blades, as your lance… |
|
|
Sansón |
… clashed with the Knight of the White Moon's greatsword. |
 |
White Moon Sinclair |
[Blade drawn.] Mm… |
|
|
Sansón |
Yet, with every duel, no matter how great or trivial, comes certain stakes. This historical duel must have been no different. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
"I care not whether I am to emerge the victor or the loser of this battle." |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
"Yet… O Don Quixote, should thee meet my challenge in a fair duel…" |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
"I promise thee. That in thy hands I shall present what thou seekest most." |
|
|
Sansón |
Boldly and fiercely, the combatants clashed once again… |
|
|
Sansón |
And Rocinante signaled the start of this duel. |
|
|
Sansón |
Because if anyone was watching, it would be Rocinante. |
 |
Gregor |
……. |
|
|
Gregor |
"Ready… Go!" |
|
|
Don Quixote |
For three suns and three moons, we tested the mights of our blades. |
|
|
Sansón |
Hold on. Weren't you holding a lance, not a bladed sword? |
|
|
Don Quixote |
… 'Twas but a figure of speech! |

WHICH RECOUNTS THE CLOSE AND DRAMATIC DUEL BETWEEN THE KNIGHT OF THE WHITE MOON AND THE VALIANT DON QUIXOTE

Pre-battle
| Speaker | Dialogue | |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Don Quixote |
The duel, from its first clash to the last, was evenly matched, with no clear winner pulling ahead… |
|
|
Don Quixote |
… and every spectator's hands began to grow slick with anxious sweat. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
Some had gathered to cheer us on as well. |
 |
RYŌSHŪ |
"… Yay, Lord Don Quixote… You can do this, your worship…" |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Pahaha! Look at the lass' face! Now that is priceless! |
 |
HONG LU |
Well, then, I'll cheer on the Knight of the White Moon. Let's keep things fresh. |
|
|
HONG LU |
"Wooo~ Brave Knight, you got this~!" |
|
|
Don Quixote |
The tip of my blade hewed deep into the Knight's left shoulder, while the Knight's blade left a slight gash on mine ear. |
|
|
Sansón |
Oh no! The great adventurer Don Quixote, wounded in a duel? Is everything alright? |
|
|
Don Quixote |
Worry not, for all is right indeed! Wounds gained in battle are but seedlings of honor; 'tis no blemish on mine! |
|
|
Don Quixote |
Well, I do believe that my skills were a smidge superior to the Knight's. Perchance, had I decided to put a little more strength behind my strike, I may have dealt a blow most final. |
|
|
Sansón |
… The combatants charged one another at full speed. |
|
|
Sansón |
To see who shall emerge victorious from this epic duel. |
Post-battle
| Speaker | Dialogue | |

| [Don Quixote charges at the Knight with her lance, but is parried. The two charge at each other again, only to knock each other apart. The Knight readies their bow, and Don her lance, charging at each other a third time…] [Fade to white. End battle scene.] | ||
|
|
Sansón |
And the victor… |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
……. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
… Who won? |
|
|
Don Quixote |
'Twas… |
|
|
Don Quixote |
… neither. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
The duel ended in a draw, a highly irregular occurrence. |
|
|
Sansón |
Then, did you resume your duel then and there? |
|
|
Don Quixote |
Nay. As great as I may have been as an adventurer, in my heart was no such vicious ruthlessness, for I knew the significance of clemency. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
I asked thusly to the Knight. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
"For three suns and three moons have we dueled, and fatigue hath set in for many. Why not lay rest to thy blade for a moment and recover?" |
|
|
Don Quixote |
"Should we continue to duel in this state, the countless spectators shan't get their much-needed rests, no? 'Tis too cruel to force them to forgo sleep only to see the outcome of this duel." |
|
|
Don Quixote |
"Wouldst thou not agree, Rocinante?" |
|
|
Gregor |
… Um… |
|
|
Sansón |
Rocinante replied. |
|
|
Gregor |
"Y… yes, your worship?" |
|
|
Sansón |
Or… |
|
|
Gregor |
"No response. It's just a pair of shoes…" |
|
|
Sansón |
Or maybe… this is what Rocinante said. |
|
|
Gregor |
"I…" |
|
|
Gregor |
"… was wondering when this dumb, pointless battle would come to an end." |
|
|
Gregor |
"I have prepared some refreshments, so why don't the two of you enjoy them together or something?" |
|
|
Sansón |
Thus the long duel came to an end. |
|
|
Sansón |
So, is it really true that no one claimed victory in this battle? Did it truly end in a draw? |
|
|
Don Quixote |
The duel… |
|
|
Don Quixote |
… was indeed a draw. Highly irregular in tales of mine adventures. A brief truce, if thou wilt. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
Yet! I must claim that, when it comes to technicalities, the true victor was myself! Upon our final clash, my bla— my lance was pressing forcefully upon the Knight's blade. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
Still, with a heart of boundless generosity, I offered the Knight a chance to parlay with me a truce. |
|
|
Sansón |
So you did. |
|
|
Sansón |
Now that you've compromised on this truce with no promised end date… what happened thereafter? |
|
|
Don Quixote |
We… became friends. |
|
|
Sansón |
Hm. A friendship forged in a clash of blades. It is a clichéd trope, for how rare it is in reality. |
|
|
Sansón |
Then did your wish come true, just as the Knight had so boldly proclaimed? |
|
|
Don Quixote |
P… perchance…? |

OF THE PREDICTABLE ENDING TO SANSÓN'S STAGEPLAY
| Speaker | Dialogue | |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Jia Xichun |
… Do any of you know what technique he's using? |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
I can't… move. Not even an inch. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Yeah, did you think we were all standing here like mannequins for the hell of it? |
|
|
Sansón |
Allow me to interject and posit that… some were likely jealous of that friendship. |
|
|
Sansón |
A friendship so bold, especially between an adventurer and a knight, is bound to invite certain… envious hecklers. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Y… yes, indeed. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Many did grow envious of this fellowship between us. |
|
|
Wei |
Lady Jia Xichun, stay on guard. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
Wake up. Don't let the words of that man delude you, and— |
|
|
Sansón |
Yes, that is exactly what those hecklers said. |
|
|
Sansón |
You wished to maintain this true friendship for as long as possible, however. |
|
|
Sansón |
So you swung your righteous lance of justice! Against those who dared to attempt to wedge a divide between you two. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
……. |
|
|
Sansón |
You swung your lance. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Hngh… Agh… |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
…! |
|
|
DANTE |
<No, don't let him!> |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Foul… villain…! |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
How darest thou employ such vile trickery again…! |
|
|
Sansón |
Oh my. |
|
|
Sansón |
It seems the story was cut short. |
|
|
Sansón |
What tragic sort they are. |
|
|
Sansón |
The Priest had wished to care for them with all his heart, only to fail. |
|
|
Sansón |
All the while the one who created this place did not care for them. |
|
|
Sansón |
Do you hear it, too? Even today, the Parade continues. |
|
|
Sansón |
You do not want to miss out on La Manchaland's Carnival and its Parade. |
|
|
Sansón |
It appears that our story must wait until next time. |

OF JIA XICHUN'S QUERY AND THE SINNER'S LUKEWARM ANSWERS
| Speaker | Dialogue | |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Jia Xichun |
… Who is he? He almost took out my entire faction with a single flick. We… we didn't even stand a chance. |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
That's what I'd like to know, lass. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
By the way, you there. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
Who are you? |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
That guy seemed very interested in her, for whatever reason. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Forsooth… that scoundrel must have recognized that I am the most dangerous threat against his villainous plan to foment evil…! |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
……. |
| [Flash of red.] | ||
|
|
Wei |
… While I do not like this… I must suggest that you accompany your blood relative. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
Wei, what if he tries to take this opportunity to kill me? |
|
|
Wei |
But this young master is different. Unlike the others, he's… |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
I know. He's not the type to do something like that. Imagine if it was big sister Yuanchun. |
|
|
Wei |
She would have sent her assassins after you the moment you met. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
… Right. I guess… if it was anyone else among my siblings, they would have sent their lackeys after us already. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
… Or… maybe I'm not even worth that much effort already. |
|
|
Wei |
… Thus, young master Baoyu is our only hope, my lady. There is no recourse. |
|
|
Wei |
[Muffled background music fades in.] Do you hear it? The endless melodies… |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
… I know. Something went wrong in Area 3. |
|
|
HONG LU |
[Muffled background music fades out.] Will you be coming with, Xichun? |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
Just a temporary alliance, that's all. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
From the looks of it, neither of us are interested in the reward money dividends. Which means that we're both here looking for something else. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
So, at least until we get what we want, we'll… |
|
|
HONG LU |
I know. We'll be fighting again once grandmother's snack runs out, right? |
|
|
OUTIS |
She's quite haughty for someone who should be groveling at us for help. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
Me and my men cleaned up Area 2 in less than an hour. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
And you only got here way after we were finished. |
|
|
RODION |
H-hey, we just forgot to pick something up so we had to backtrack, that's all. I'm tellin' ya, we wiped the floor with 'em in less than thirty min— |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
Great. Then we should have no trouble cleaning this place up once I join you, right? |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
Consider me a useful, first-rate silver sycee, why don't you? I'd say we're on quite the even ground; why would I grovel for help? |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Lass is so shameless that I'm at a loss for words. |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Ohhh… yeah. I see the family resemblance now, mate. |
|
|
HONG LU |
Is that a compliment? Ha ha. |
|
|
Jia Xichun |
It's an insult. |

IN WHICH IS DISCUSSED EMIL SINCLAIR'S CONCERNS AND DON QUIXOTE'S DELUSIONS
| Speaker | Dialogue | |
|---|---|---|
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
So… that bizarre Bloodfiend nabbed the Priest as well, eh? |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
Considering that he's also the one who took the Barber from Area 1… |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
You know what else is naggin' me? It's the way he talks. Saying absolutely bonkers shite with a straight face like he's the only sane man. |
|
|
FAUST |
It can be said that the purpose of this behavior is to collect necessary stage props… or… perhaps, the main cast of a stageplay. |
|
|
FAUST |
In that case, we must keep our eyes on… |
|
|
FAUST |
… the stageplay he wishes to show us. |
|
|
FAUST |
For we are yet to observe the specifics of his intent. |
|
|
OUTIS |
If only you kept your big mouth shut… |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
… W-well, that is… I simply cannot put a stop to myself when he asketh me to regale thee with mine adventures… B-but they truly are most ingenious tales, I say…! Though I may speak them perforce, driven by villainous compulsion, prithee, listen well! |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
And like Jia Xichun said, he could've easily taken us out if he wanted to. But he didn't. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Ugh… I hate this. I really don't like how it feels like we're just playthings in the palm of his hand. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
Excuse me, manager… I mean, Dante. |
|
|
DANTE |
<Hm?> |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
I'm sure you already noticed this, but… I just thought I might mention it. Just in case. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
This mission… |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
… it's all about Don Quixote. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
And she… is completely oblivious to it. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Fie! What tragedy, what tragedy to let that abominable Bloodfiend slip away! |
|
|
RODION |
Yeah, ya looked totally torn up about it when you were excitedly telling us about that duel. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Nngh… hardly did I know that a request to hear my tale would have such seductive strength! 'Tis one of my dreams, indeed… yet… agh, how could I allow myself to be seduced like this! Once this mission is complete, I shall train my mind to the utmost— |
|
|
DANTE |
<… Yeah.> |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
And I'm sure you have a good reason for not telling us what you know about her. |
|
|
DANTE |
<… Also… yeah.> |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
Remember? |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
Back when we all went to my hometown… Don Quixote gave me one real heck of a beatdown. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
Thinking back to it now, it's a bit… embarrassing, but… I remember what Don Quixote said when I was starting to lose control. Told me that I had to return to my senses. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
I'm sure it needs a degree of courage and determination to rise to the occasion like that. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
But she stepped in without hesitation for my sake. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
I want to be like her. And I've been trying my best to be like her… W-well, I probably have a long way to go, but still… |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
It's not too much for me to hope for, right? |
|
|
DANTE |
<No, I think that's a good kind of thing to hope for.> |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Pray tell! What 'good kind of hope' art thou speaking of?! |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
AAAUGH?! |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Aught seems to have caught thee off guard! What is it? |
|
|
DANTE |
<Oh… We were just chatting about this contract.> |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Oo!!! Hast thou wised up to it as well, then?! |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Verily, there is no other way to look at this. This mission… it must all be about… |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
… Young Hong Lu! Dost thou see as I do? |
|
|
DANTE |
<…….> |
|
|
DANTE |
<… Hong Lu?> |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Hmm?! Manager Esquire, I espy a need for thee to improve thy insight! Young Hong Lu's expression hath appeared quite peculiar today, and… |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
… I… don't see what's different about him today? |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
… he hath even had a dramatic reunion with a long-lost blood relative! |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Ah, and forget thee not about the sudden onslaught of names of his other kin, and this potent aroma of secret enmities, which may signify a tragic history of familial drama… |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Though I myself have nary a one to call my kindred blood, I must imagine that such confrontations must be quite harrowing. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Thus! Manager Esquire! |

Verily, from a certain perspective, we are sailing through each of our own adventures, wouldst thou not say? |

And an adventure is very much like a journey of suffering. 'Tis imperative that thy heart remains steadfast through the trials and tribulations of the quest. |

WHEREIN IS TOLD THE TALE OF CASSETTI'S FILIAL IMPIETY AND THE TRAGIC NATURE OF THE LYRICS
Pre-battle
| Speaker | Dialogue | |
|---|---|---|
 | ||
| [The carnival music is slightly slower, taking on a light gloomy undertone.] | ||
|
|
DANTE |
<… Faust knows why, doesn't she?> |
|
|
DANTE |
<Why… what caused Don Quixote to transform, back then…> |
|
|
FAUST |
Yes… |
|
|
FAUST |
I suppose there is no reason for this information to remain classified from you any longer, now that we are here. |
|
|
FAUST |
… For Bloodfiends, going against the bloodstream is akin to a taboo. Back on the WARP train, Cassetti attempted to turn Don Quixote into his Kindred. In other words… a lower Bloodfiend attempted to turn a higher Bloodfiend. |
|
|
DANTE |
<Didn't Moses say that there's a… psychological barrier that makes it practically impossible for them to do that?> |
|
|
FAUST |
Yet, there was a variable then, by the name of Rocinante. As long as Rocinante remains on her feet, Don Quixote loses all characteristics and powers of a Bloodfiend save for her desire for blood. |
|
|
FAUST |
Then, when Rocinante sensed that Cassetti had broken the Bloodfiend taboo, they slipped off on their own from Don Quixote… |
|
|
FAUST |
… and Don Quixote, her nature as Bloodfiend returned, must have felt a strong level of instinctual revulsion and fury against Cassetti who attempted to break the taboo. |
|
|
FAUST |
That would explain her high level of aggression at the time. |
|
|
DANTE |
<Then…> |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Come on, where's the end of this line?! |
|
|
OUTIS |
There is no time to gripe! Clear the path ahead so that our Executive Manager won't have to suffer these monsters. |

DON QUIXOTE |
HARK!!! Cease thy villainy this instant!!! |
 |
Dulcinea |
……. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
Then speak. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
Why must we stop? |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
'Tis a question with an answer most simple. And obvious. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Because thy villainy is unjust! |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
We are come to rain destruction upon this den of villainy, La Manchaland. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Thus speak plainly of thy founder's whereabouts and accept thy rightful punishment! |
|
|
Dulcinea |
I see. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
So you're still playing that childish make-believe. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
'Tis no make-believe! 'Tis a part of mine hallowed adventure. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
Oh, your eyes… |
|
|
Dulcinea |
I have always hated them. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
That look of arrogant disinterest as though nothing before you was worth your concern. As though you were not a part of the world, but only a detached observer. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
Long did I wonder to see when your eyes would twinkle so vividly again… |
|
|
Dulcinea |
… and now that I finally see them… I find myself hating them still. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
Still as foul, revolting… and hateful, for all that glimmer. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
… Every day we paraded in a circle, in the very same route, with the very same heart. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
Wishing for a new day to begin… |
|
|
Dulcinea |
Though Cassetti, who played the Prince of the Parade, has left us to build his own kingdom… |
|
|
Dulcinea |
… a lone Princess should be enough to rouse our guests. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
… Was it you who hypnotized people with this music? |
|
|
Dulcinea |
Wrong question. Because I was also charmed by an illusion. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
All seem to mistake that I am the mistress of this parade, that I lead the path, only because I stand at the forefront of it. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
Because I am Dulcinea, the most beautiful… the most noble… I was given the role of the Carnival's Lady. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
I do not lead it; I am but another attraction of the Parade. |
|
|
RYŌSHŪ |
Hah, I see now. |
|
|
RYŌSHŪ |
This is a parade of broken things, biting one after another in a cycle of infinity. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
……. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
Do you see now? |
|
|
Dulcinea |
That La Manchaland is where we relive our beginnings and ends. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
Because it was said that amusement parks have no place for what isn't happy… |
|
|
Dulcinea |
Fated to repeat our beginnings and ends ad infinitum, the times when we were still happy… When we were still… us. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
Because only then shall our memories become tainted by happiness. |
|
|
GREGOR |
… The Fixers who were assigned to this Area… They're all dead, then? |
 |
Bloodfiend Hunter |
Gnnnnhhhh… |
 |
Romero |
[Bloodbagged. A mask was sewn onto his face.] … Hah… ha… funny, isn't it? The other Fixer who was assigned to the same Area as us… stabbed us in the back… |
|
|
Romero |
… and doomed… us all. |
|
|
Romero |
How… pathetic… All that posturing… just to die here… from some knife in my back… |
|
|
Dulcinea |
Dead? No, they have but joined the Parade. For they were not worthy to have a part in our ending. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
Humans, devoured and driven by hatred, seeking no betterment nor happiness. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
With no other purpose or direction in life other than to slaughter as many of us as possible. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
So hideous, yet so pitiful. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
We had only wished to relive our memories. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
I can hardly contain my disgust at thine excuses. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
We need not mire ourselves in discussions of worthiness to bring thy deserved judgment! |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Bloodfiends! From what I have heard, it is said that thy kind slay humans and commit all kinds of depraved, heinous immoralities just for a drop of blood. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Is that all there is to it? For so paltry a reason? |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
For something so puerile, so insignificant and trivial? |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
How darest thou seek to deprive humans of their right to live, for such trifling gluttony! |
|
|
Dulcinea |
Now that I muse upon it, perhaps this feeling of mine toward you is envy. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
You have everything we've ever wanted… just for claiming that name as your own. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
Those twinkling, innocent eyes. |
|
|
Dulcinea |
I hate them still. |

Where— How— Where didst thou… |

Dulcinea |

Dulcinea |
To exist in ignorance of the truth that we are but going in circles, not marching toward what lies ahead… |

Something that we all desire but own not, yet you have… |

|
|
Sansón |
Oblivion. |
|
|
Sansón |
That which all who are lost in this Area yearn so desperately for. |
|
|
Sansón |
The privilege to flee from everything. From desires, from shame. |
|
|
Sansón |
The gift of oblivion, the innocence, the naïveté to endure and live through another day. |

HEATHCLIFF |
No, not again…! |

DON QUIXOTE |

Sansón |
I thought it was about time you missed me. |

It is high time you regaled us with that particular tale, isn't it? |
|

Sansón |
Tell us how that grand adventure, for which you abandoned us all, ended. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
What…? |

Sansón |
Galloping on, and on… |

As always, Rocinante was merrily and energetically galloping on with you upon its saddle… |

|
Romero |
… Come on… just die! |
|

Romero |
[Struck down.] Hngh… |

Sansón |
… while leaving us to slowly expire in a most painful death. Just like this poor soul. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
… Enough. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Please… Enough… |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Thy strength must surpass mine; thus bound I have become by thy sorcery. Yes… |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
So please, I must beseech thee so. I have no choice but to beg, for I cannot turn my tongue into a sharp spear to skewer thee…! |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
I will pray unto thee, cower and grovel before thee… to cease this wickedness! |
|
|
Sansón |
Well, why stop now? Don't you just love sharing the stories of your adventures with everyone? Isn't this exactly what you have always wished for? |
|
|
Sansón |
You have such a captive audience before you, listening to your tale more intently than ever. You won't get another opportunity like this. |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
… I don't want to. Not anymore. |
|
|
Sansón |
But you will. |
|
|
Sansón |
You will share your tale. |
|
|
Sansón |
For that is your role in this play. |
| [Stage props assemble.] | ||
 | ||
|
|
Sansón |
Thus you, Rocinante, and the Knight of the White Moon embark on your final adventure. Or, perhaps, it would be more accurate to say that… you fled. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
We saw so many rivers on our way here, didn't we? |
|
|
Don Quixote |
All these rivers… were beneath the City all along? |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
It is said that when an efflorescent tree comes to blossom, steeped and nurtured in the waters of many rivers since its saplinghood, it becomes imbued with a special power. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
I can't even begin to imagine what powers a tree born from that particular river may hold. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
Pray tell, what river is it that we seek? |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
Well, none of the rivers we've walked by is the one we're looking for. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
… Not this one either, then? |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
Regrettably, no. Perhaps we should seek a river that flows even deeper into the abyss. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
The depths of the Ruins are certainly dangerous, even for someone who's ventured down here in the past. It's giving even you a run for your money, isn't it? |
|
|
Don Quixote |
… What river is this…? |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
Whoever drinks the waters of this river shall be granted a vision of… a certain future. It brings the drinker visions of what is to come, yet blinds them to all things save for those of the future, driving them to insanity. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
And to the drinker, only a singular future remains: a vision of their own madness. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
I call this the 'Mirae-mirae River'… or the River of Future-future. It must've had a name once, but this is the name I gave it. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
Quite the irony, then. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
Though it won't show you the exact moment you wish to see, you may look into the river to catch a glimpse of a certain moment in the future. It may be quite disorienting, but… would you like to try anyway? |
|
|
Don Quixote |
I ill wish to be so close to the waters, but… I shall. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
What do you see? |
|
|
Don Quixote |
Chains… a great gate… and… a timepiece… A flaming timepiece…? And… a promise… |
|
|
Don Quixote |
It is as you have said. Visions I have seen, yet I fail to see the sense in each of them. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
Right. You won't ever get a clear picture unless you drink the waters yourself. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
Still, if you've seen that clock… and the visions of promise…? Hm. Perhaps this has something to do with that promise you made with him. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
The promised timepiece, is it…? |
|
|
Sansón |
After suffering through brutal trials upon trials, you arrive at the place you have been searching so hard for. |
|
|
Sansón |
And here, we return to the very first chapter of this tale. |
 | ||
|
|
Don Quixote |
This is…? |
|
|
Sansón |
The River of Oblivion. |
|

OUTIS |
Lethe… |

Jia Xichun |

|
|
Sansón |
Thus spake the Knight of the White Moon. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
Are you certain? |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
Drink from this well, and the life you have lived thus far will be no more. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
All of it, gone in a sip. |
|
|
Sansón |
You reflexively gulp. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
……. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
I have… decided. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
Will you answer me, were I to ask you why? |
|
|
Don Quixote |
I see it still, past the darkness of my eyelids. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
I see a vision of that day. The screaming and shouting, the stench of blood, the… |
|
|
Don Quixote |
……. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
The more I recall, the more I find myself cracking and crumbling like a castle of sand. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
Thus I wish to forget everything that's happened and crawl into a deep slumber. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
Because while I sleep, there will be no fear, no hope, no suffering, and no glory. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
But there is an unsavory part to sleep, isn't there? It's… |
|
|
Don Quixote |
Yes. It is much like death. Yet it distinguishes itself in ways that matter. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
You want to dream. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
For those mere words which made us leave everything behind, only to shackle us in the end… I long to continue the dream I have been but a mere witness to. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
Then… |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
… I have no other way to help you, do I? |
|
|
Sansón |
The name of this companion… |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
Then… before oblivion takes my name away from you, allow me to introduce myself one last time. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
I am the flower-seeker, a wanderer, a traveler across the City and the Ruins. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
I am the one who marked the final period to this unforgotten adventure of a lifetime with you. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
My name is Bari, the Knight of the White Moon. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
I will now leave, and return to my search for the river and the flower born from its waters. As I always have. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
… Even should I drink the waters of this river… will you tell me the tales of Fixers still? |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
… I may pass by this area quite often through my journey. |
|
|
White Moon Sinclair |
Every chance I get, I'll leave a book or an item behind. Things that may be of help to you. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
… Thank you. |
| [Background music stops.] | ||
|
|
Sansón |
Thus, you lean over the river to drink its water. |
|
|
Sansón |
However valiant a knight Don Quixote was, she cannot help but shudder from an overwhelming sense of terror and omen. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
I… no. I cannot have let such fear touch me. I, who have written such tales of brave adventures… |
|
|
Sansón |
Well, every tale needs a rising action and a climax, doesn't it? It's the ups and downs that keeps things interesting. |
|
|
Don Quixote |
Hgh, nngh…! |
|
|
Sansón |
Our common, primeval fear of the flowing water. Your body shudders, horripilation of the skin spreading through every inch of your being as your psyche, your consciousness itself, furiously refuses to approach its undulating surface. Our blood, thicker than water, cycles through your system with inhuman rapidity as your heart begins to race like that of a rabid animal. |
|
|
Sansón |
Yet, you must conquer that fear. You had to. |
|
|
Sansón |
Moments before you take a sip of that river's water, a thought flickers through your mind. That to continue this adventure was meaningless. |
|
|
Sansón |
That is how you dismount Rocinante. |
|
|
Sansón |
Rocinante, only borrowed from its original master. |

I shall protect the weak and punish the wicked. |

Sancho |
I am telling you now, this new goal of yours is going to crash and burn in less than three days. Quit stirring trouble and stay put. |
|
|
Sancho |
Remember your last momentary passion with… what was it? Knitting? Embroidery? That lasted a whole two days before you got tired of it. And that was after you sent us out to find all kinds of high-quality yarn for that little passion project. |

Silence, Sancho. You keep balking at my passions with your chastisements. At this point, I am having a difficult time determining which one of us is the higher Kindred. |

What matters is that I must hear what comes next in her tale. How dare that human cut her story short at its climax! |

Don't think for a moment I haven't noticed you constantly perking your ears in our direction. Especially at the part where the Hana Association Fixer encountered the monster that demanded that they pay a toll with a single rice cake on that winding hill path… |
|
|
Sancho |
I-I most certainly did not. |
|
|
??? |
You most certainly did. Ah, speaking of which… do you suppose the Hana Association will eventually come out on top? |
|
|
Sancho |
No. I believe that the Fixer who hails from this 'Zwei' will overtake the— |
|
|
Sancho |
… Ah. |
|

|
|
Sancho |

|
|
Sancho |

|

|

And I shall be the first-ever Bloodfiend to become a Fixer. Is that not an idea most wondrous? |
|
|
??? |
Maybe they'll even make this 'fan club' in my honor. |
|
|
Sancho |
Certainly, perhaps in that ridiculously grand dream of yours. |
|
|
??? |
Yet that is how dreams are meant to be. Ridiculously grand. |

You have returned to me, my Sancho. |

Now, tell me all about it. |

That dream of mine… you have dreamed in my stead…
