1. That's...Copy !req
2. They called themselves Shadow Garden.Copy !req
3. We are Shadow Garden,
and you will stay out of our way.Copy !req
4. Iris, Shadow's power is-Copy !req
5. What's wrong?Copy !req
6. We're just getting started.Copy !req
7. You...Copy !req
8. It was you!Copy !req
9. Shadow!Copy !req
10. What the blazes just happened?Copy !req
11. They're saying a fight broke out.Copy !req
12. This is obviously a terrorist attack!Copy !req
13. Is His Majesty all right?Copy !req
14. We've taken all the guests of honor to safety.Copy !req
15. But I seriously doubt that this battle will remain
inside the confines of the stadium.Copy !req
16. Then I may have to consider declaring martial law.Copy !req
17. Where is Perv Asshat?Copy !req
18. He is on a carriage heading for
the outskirts of the Royal Capital.Copy !req
19. Judging from his route,Copy !req
20. we believe he intends to return to the Oriana Kingdom
without stopping at the embassy.Copy !req
21. What of the body of King Geerk?Copy !req
22. It is safely in our custody.Copy !req
23. Treat it with the utmost care and respect.Copy !req
24. When returning it to Oriana,
make sure to go through Marquess Grant.Copy !req
25. A leader in the anti-chancellor faction...Copy !req
26. Wouldn't that risk provoking a civil war?Copy !req
27. Our kingdom will need time to fortify itself.Copy !req
28. The darkness that has been lurking
in the shadows of history since ancient timesCopy !req
29. has taken on a deeper hue.Copy !req
30. It would be foolish to step
into that darkness unpreparedCopy !req
31. and risk being swallowed up inside it.Copy !req
32. You were right in front of me.Copy !req
33. Just as I can't focus my attention on
every single drop of rain,Copy !req
34. you're there, but my focus can't
tell when you move.Copy !req
35. What's wrong?Copy !req
36. We're just getting started.Copy !req
37. One moment, please.Copy !req
38. I would like to join this contest.Copy !req
39. A mythril blade...Copy !req
40. Ancient runes...Copy !req
41. An artifact?Copy !req
42. Do you think it's underhanded?Copy !req
43. No.Copy !req
44. But to think you'd lean on that crutch...Copy !req
45. Shut up!Copy !req
46. Not bad, I'll give you points for the stunning visuals.Copy !req
47. It might be just the thing for a festival spectacular.Copy !req
48. What idiot would do that in the middle of town?Copy !req
49. But never mind that.Copy !req
50. Where did that boy wander off to?Copy !req
51. Well, I've escaped...Copy !req
52. But where do I go from here?Copy !req
53. Do I go back to the Royal Capital?Copy !req
54. Do I join up with the anti-Perv resistance?Copy !req
55. You have two choices.Copy !req
56. Wha...Copy !req
57. I knew it; this one...Copy !req
58. has real potential!Copy !req
59. All right, let's continue.Copy !req
60. Do try not to fall off, won't you?Copy !req
61. Two choices?Copy !req
62. The first is to continue your fight alone.Copy !req
63. The other is to fight by our side in Shadow Garden.Copy !req
64. Now choose.Copy !req
65. Do you have any intention
of saving the Oriana Kingdom?Copy !req
66. We will do nothing to assist you as you are now.Copy !req
67. If you wish to save your kingdom,
you must show us your worth.Copy !req
68. My worth?Copy !req
69. Your worth, and the worth of the Oriana Kingdom.Copy !req
70. Can the Oriana Kingdom be saved?Copy !req
71. That depends on you.Copy !req
72. I'm sorry, Father.Copy !req
73. I pledge to fight alongside you.Copy !req
74. Who are you?Copy !req
75. Who are you?Copy !req
76. I am Shadow.Copy !req
77. This name, this form...Copy !req
78. They are my truth.Copy !req
79. Everything else is just a fanciful dream
within a fabricated fiction.Copy !req
80. I am Beatrix.Copy !req
81. Have we met somewhere before?Copy !req
82. Who knows?Copy !req
83. I never forget a powerful opponent.Copy !req
84. But are you ladies worth keeping in my memory?Copy !req
85. Allow me to show you the witch's secret art.Copy !req
86. A vampire attack?Copy !req
87. So, what? Anything goes?Copy !req
88. Wow, magic doesn't flow as well
through ordinary water.Copy !req
89. What is it this time?Copy !req
90. Someone fell in the river!Copy !req
91. Shadow...Copy !req
92. I hope to see you again, Mundane.Copy !req
93. I'm used to this now.Copy !req
94. Bravo.Copy !req
95. In swordskill, at least,
you're almost as good as we are.Copy !req
96. But, alas, your use of magic
leaves so much to be desired.Copy !req
97. Allow me to teach you the correct way to-Copy !req
98. Are both of these sisters wild animals?Copy !req
99. I cannot be defeated with borrowed strength.Copy !req
100. Lady Beatrix...Copy !req
101. I will immobilize him if it costs me my life.Copy !req
102. When I do, take him down!Copy !req
103. Very well...Copy !req
104. Try and oppose me.Copy !req
105. Amateur.Copy !req
106. Come back...Copy !req
107. You have wrought havoc all across the capital...Copy !req
108. Do you really think I'll let you get away with it?Copy !req
109. By now, every knight in the city
will have been mobilized.Copy !req
110. Everyone in the capital...Copy !req
111. Everyone in the entire Kingdom of Midgar
is now your enemy!Copy !req
112. There's nowhere left for you to run!Copy !req
113. Run?Copy !req
114. Who's running?Copy !req
115. Running where?Copy !req
116. And why?Copy !req
117. What is this?Copy !req
118. No...Copy !req
119. It can't be...Copy !req
120. It's too...Copy !req
121. Playtime is over.Copy !req
122. Doing this won't help anything.Copy !req
123. Maybe that's what you'd tell me.Copy !req
124. But I will not stop going down this path.Copy !req
125. Even if I die now and end up reborn...Copy !req
126. I know...Copy !req
127. I will choose the same path.Copy !req
128. Observe!Copy !req
129. And witness for yourselves!Copy !req
130. My earth-shattering...Copy !req
131. sky-rending...Copy !req
132. supremely ultimate, almighty and unparalleled attack!Copy !req
133. I...Copy !req
134. am...Copy !req
135. I mean, this time it really is just for show.Copy !req
136. He left.Copy !req
137. "Shadow, the demon who appeared
in the Royal Capital,Copy !req
138. was repelled by Princess Iris and
Beatrix the War Goddess."Copy !req
139. "But no clues have been found in regards to
the whereabouts of Princess Rose,Copy !req
140. now guilty of killing her father King Geerk of Oriana."Copy !req
141. "Much remains unknown about
the secret society, Shadow Garden,Copy !req
142. that aligns itself with the demon."Copy !req
143. "The Knight Order has rallied all of its forcesCopy !req
144. to apprehend the man they see as the principal
offender in all of these incidents."Copy !req
145. Shadow...Copy !req
146. I...Copy !req
147. I swear I'll...Copy !req
148. You're a disgrace, Perv Asshat.Copy !req
149. I am terribly sorry.Copy !req
150. But as long as the royal family
is in the Cult's clutches,Copy !req
151. the girl can't just disappear without a trace.Copy !req
152. Now that Oriana has lost its king,
the nation will be in turmoil.Copy !req
153. She won't be able to ignore that.Copy !req
154. She's sure to come back.Copy !req
155. And when she does...Copy !req
156. I hope you are right.Copy !req
157. Try not to disappoint me, Perv Asshat.Copy !req
158. I shall not!Copy !req
159. You can't expect me to stay in this lousy city!Copy !req
160. I'm out of here!Copy !req
161. Oh yeah? So you're skipping town?
Where could you possibly go next?Copy !req
162. I'm not skipping town!
I'm moving on!Copy !req
163. And don't follow me!Copy !req
164. You're better off not obsessing over it.Copy !req
165. There are many entities that mortals
cannot hope to rival.Copy !req
166. What's more, you are still very young, so-Copy !req
167. Don't worry.Copy !req
168. I'm not capable of staying still for too long.Copy !req
169. I see.Copy !req
170. I never did find her.Copy !req
171. Nothing really worked out here.Copy !req
172. But there were some nice things, too.Copy !req
173. I just have to take my time, and keep trying.Copy !req
174. So as you can see, our plan is to
blue sky several points of concern,Copy !req
175. and commit to maximizing our benefits
using a limited budget.Copy !req
176. The Knight Order is searching frantically
for Lord Shadow.Copy !req
177. That is exactly what Lord Shadow wants.Copy !req
178. He is using himself as a decoy to
distract the Midgar Kingdom.Copy !req
179. To keep them from getting involved
in the trouble in Oriana.Copy !req
180. I assume we are in full communication
with the other side?Copy !req
181. Lady Eta has...Copy !req
182. Dot dash dash...Copy !req
183. worked that all out.
Dot dash dash...Copy !req
184. Dot dot dash dash...Copy !req
185. Worked it out?
Dot dot dash dash...Copy !req
186. Dot dot dot dot dot dot dash...Copy !req
187. Perhaps we should move up the rendezvous.
Dot dot dot dot dot dot dash...Copy !req
188. We have to do our best work ever, for Lord Shadow!Copy !req
189. Yes!Copy !req
190. All necessary preparations are complete,
for this and your public engagements.Copy !req
191. Hey, Boss!Copy !req
192. Lord Shadow is actively involving himself now.Copy !req
193. Let us hurry to tie up the loose ends.Copy !req
194. We'll send more personnel
to investigate the Lawless City,Copy !req
195. and keep a close eye on the
Major Corporate Alliance...Copy !req
196. How long will we be using
temporary school buildings?Copy !req
197. Hey, have you heard?Copy !req
198. The school reconstruction is
getting funding from Mitsugoshi.Copy !req
199. No way! So, like, do you think we'll get new uniformsCopy !req
200. Oh, hey, what ever happened to Skel?
along with the new building?Copy !req
201. Oh, Skel?Copy !req
202. He said something about taking a long-term job.Copy !req
203. But the new school term just started.Copy !req
204. Dammit, when the hell am I ever
gonna get back to land?Copy !req
205. Pay attention, rookie!Copy !req
206. Something's got your line!Copy !req
207. I'm sorry, sir!
I'm sorry!Copy !req
208. I'm really sorry!Copy !req
209. I feel a storm corming.Copy !req
210. But forget Skel!Copy !req
211. I can't believe what happened at the Bushin Festival!Copy !req
212. What happened?Copy !req
213. You know!Copy !req
214. The Demon Shadow!Copy !req
215. Demon Shadow?Copy !req
216. I only saw it on my way back from visiting my family,Copy !req
217. but there was that glow of magical energy
covering the whole capital.Copy !req
218. It was terrifying, like the gates to
Hell had just sprung open.Copy !req
219. Oh, man, I'm so sad I was outside it.Copy !req
220. I wish I'd been in the city.Copy !req
221. All those frightened girls in need of reassurance...Copy !req
222. I guess I was a little too conspicuous.
I'd do this with them, and that...Copy !req
223. I need to keep things more in the shadows.Copy !req
224. So you see?Copy !req
225. Since Claire did win the championship, to celebrate...Copy !req
226. Listen to you, such a caring father.Copy !req
227. Then do something for your lazy son, too, idiot!Copy !req
228. Baron Kagenou's domain...
Then do something for your lazy son, too, idiot!Copy !req
229. But, dear, you know him!Copy !req
230. Kagenou...
He's as shameless as his mother!Copy !req
231. Did you say something, baldy?Copy !req
232. I'm sorry!Copy !req
233. Sorry to keep you waiting.Copy !req
234. From here on, we go by foot.Copy !req
235. A Dark Knight should be able to make it by nightfall.Copy !req
236. By nightfall?
Starting now?Copy !req
237. Past that mountain,Copy !req
238. through therianthrope territory,
and deeper into the woods.Copy !req
239. But don't magical beasts infest this region?Copy !req
240. When he visited these mountains,
he battled the Mist Dragon.Copy !req
241. "He"?Copy !req
242. The defeated dragon dubbed him ruler of this realm,
and bathed him in dragon's breath.Copy !req
243. Is this...Copy !req
244. The ancient capital Alexandria.Copy !req
245. Our base of operations.Copy !req
246. This is where Shadow Garden...Copy !req
247. Lambda...Copy !req
248. We have a new recruit.
Train her.Copy !req
249. Yes, Lady Alpha!Copy !req
250. The rest all depends on you.Copy !req
251. Show us your power.Copy !req
252. Um...Copy !req
253. Number 664! Number 665!Copy !req
254. Yes?Copy !req
255. You called, ma'am?Copy !req
256. To me! We have a new recruit.Copy !req
257. I'm putting her in your squad.Copy !req
258. Number 666!Copy !req
259. Here, that number will be your name:Copy !req
260. Number 666.Copy !req
261. You are now nothing, a nobody.Copy !req
262. You will cast away your name,
your clothing, everything,Copy !req
263. and you will become a pure, unadulterated soldier.Copy !req
264. I thought I told you to cast away everything.Copy !req
265. I have achieved my purpose.Copy !req
266. Everything is as I wish it.Copy !req
267. I lurk in the darkness,
merely doing what must be done.Copy !req
268. The hour of awakening is at hand.Copy !req
269. There is little time remaining.Copy !req
270. Only...Copy !req
271. Yeah...Copy !req
272. I think I'm gonna do it like that...Copy !req
273. next time.Copy !req
