1. Episode 6 "Seven Comrades"
Copy !req
2. Must be nice, considering you
barely escaped with your life!
Copy !req
3. My life?
Copy !req
4. I don't recall it being in any
danger, much less escaping with it.
Copy !req
5. For me, lives are simply
something I take and destroy.
Copy !req
6. So you never even consider that
yours could be taken, huh?
Copy !req
7. You're a real positive thinker.
Copy !req
8. Would you stop getting on his case?
Copy !req
9. He's on our side now.
Copy !req
10. But he says he wants to
kill Mister Guǐ Niǎo!
Copy !req
11. And when the time comes,
you can sic your spear on him.
Copy !req
12. So just wait for now.
Copy !req
13. But if I beat him and
take the Soul Echo Flute,
Copy !req
14. it'd solve everything right here and now!
Copy !req
15. And if that happens...
Copy !req
16. You'll be famous as The Frozen
Wonder Who Kills His Comrades.
Copy !req
17. Man, what the hell?
Copy !req
18. He plays the flute and gets
to kill someone in exchange?
Copy !req
19. That's crazy, even for Mister Guǐ Niǎo!
Copy !req
20. Who accepts terms like that?
Copy !req
21. How wonderful that you care
so much for your comrades.
Copy !req
22. If you want to test your
luck with that spear,
Copy !req
23. I'll oblige you, whenever you want.
Copy !req
24. If you wanna blow that obnoxious flute,
then do it somewhere else!
Copy !req
25. You're a real pain in the ass!
Copy !req
26. How frightening.
Copy !req
27. Just what I'd expect from
a visitor from Xī Yōu.
Copy !req
28. Your threats carry genuine weight.
Copy !req
29. Did he say Xī Yōu?
Copy !req
30. The rest of you should
mind your manners as well.
Copy !req
31. After all, he's apparently hardy enough
to cross the Wasteland of Spirits.
Copy !req
32. That's so stupid!
Copy !req
33. You crossed the Wasteland
of Spirits from Xī Yōu?
Copy !req
34. That's the craziest thing I ever heard!
Copy !req
35. It'd be more believable if you
said you flew down from the sky!
Copy !req
36. If you wanna bluff,
make it a little more plausible!
Copy !req
37. I'm not really worried about
whether you believe it or not.
Copy !req
38. Must be nice to be you!
Copy !req
39. Treating every damn thing
like it doesn't matter.
Copy !req
40. I guess you just wanna live out your
life like it's a half-hearted joke?
Copy !req
41. I'd think anyone who could live like
that would be better off for it.
Copy !req
42. Well, not me!
Copy !req
43. I'm not gonna end up some
nameless wanderer like you!
Copy !req
44. I'll beat the Screaming Phoenix
Killer one day and get famous!
Copy !req
45. And I'm not letting anyone stop me!
Copy !req
46. An ignorant kid talks down to
you like that and you just take it.
Copy !req
47. You're either quite the saint,
Copy !req
48. or an actual coward.
Copy !req
49. Either way's fine.
Copy !req
50. I'm just not young enough
to give a damn anymore.
Copy !req
51. But y'know, I'm surprised we're
suddenly hopping aboard a boat.
Copy !req
52. I'd guess Guǐ Niǎo arranged for it?
Copy !req
53. It'll be easier to keep out of the
Xuán Guǐ Zōng's sight this way.
Copy !req
54. It's a roundabout path to
the Demon Spine Mountains...
Copy !req
55. But it takes the same amount
of time as traveling over land.
Copy !req
56. But it's gotta cost a lot to buy
an entire boat out of the blue.
Copy !req
57. So what if it does?
Copy !req
58. Well, I mean...
Copy !req
59. Dān Fěi was practically chased
from the Duàn Jiàn Cí shrine,
Copy !req
60. so it's not like she had
time to gather funds.
Copy !req
61. Which means that our lodging during
the trip and the cost of this boat...
Copy !req
62. Guǐ Niǎo's been paying
for it all himself, right?
Copy !req
63. He must have.
Copy !req
64. And it's not just the money.
Copy !req
65. He's willing to risk his
life to see this through.
Copy !req
66. Come on, just who is this
Guǐ Niǎo guy, anyway?
Copy !req
67. Why are you asking me?
Copy !req
68. Because I get the feeling asking him
isn't gonna get me much of an answer.
Copy !req
69. And is your job here to find
out how I feel about him?
Copy !req
70. What do you mean "job"?
Copy !req
71. You can't blame me for being suspicious.
Copy !req
72. I don't know how you teamed up
with Guǐ Niǎo in the first place.
Copy !req
73. Whatever this is, it's not
me teaming up with him!
Copy !req
74. And yet the two of you managed
to convince Shā Wú Shēng,
Copy !req
75. and you're about to board
the same boat as him.
Copy !req
76. I'm telling you, it just
happened to turn out that way.
Copy !req
77. There are far too many questions about you.
Copy !req
78. Like where you came from
and what you're after.
Copy !req
79. None of that is clear.
Copy !req
80. Why do you even care about who I am?
Copy !req
81. It shouldn't matter to you, should it?
Copy !req
82. I had thought that was the case,
but if you're hiding something,
Copy !req
83. that changes things.
Copy !req
84. I wasn't hiding anything.
Copy !req
85. Then why this nonsense about
having come from Xī Yōu?
Copy !req
86. Like I said, it's not nonsense.
Copy !req
87. It's inconceivable.
Copy !req
88. Do you realize how many heroes
Copy !req
89. have lost their lives
to the Wasteland of Spirits?
Copy !req
90. Taking a single step into that
chaotic, nightmare wilderness...
Copy !req
91. means having no hope of leaving it alive.
Copy !req
92. Come now, there's no
reason to interrogate the man.
Copy !req
93. A visitor from Xī Yōu? That doesn't
sound completely impossible.
Copy !req
94. Guǐ Niǎo...
Copy !req
95. How long have you been listening?
Copy !req
96. Around the part about nonsense.
Copy !req
97. I can't deny that it's
quite a lot to swallow...
Copy !req
98. This claim about Sir Shāng's origins.
Copy !req
99. But it's also true that it's the
only explanation that makes sense.
Copy !req
100. How's that?
Copy !req
101. Language, my friend.
Copy !req
102. Sir Shāng has an odd accent, but is
clearly fluent when speaking to us.
Copy !req
103. But it also seems true that he
hasn't been in the country long.
Copy !req
104. After all, he's never heard of the
Sharp-Eyed Impaler, the Night's Lament...
Copy !req
105. Or even the Screaming Phoenix Killer.
Copy !req
106. But it's hard to believe that he'd
be from a cloistered background,
Copy !req
107. like the Hù Yìn Shī.
Copy !req
108. The way he carries himself marks
him as a worldly individual.
Copy !req
109. Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on!
Copy !req
110. I thought I just got lucky and you all
could speak the language of Xī Yōu.
Copy !req
111. We've been speaking the language of Dōng Li.
Copy !req
112. One that foreigners apparently find
quite difficult to learn.
Copy !req
113. That's right.
Copy !req
114. The point being that Xī Yōu and Dōng Li,
Copy !req
115. prior to the War of Fading
Dusk, were one nation.
Copy !req
116. It was the sorcery of the demons that
created the Wasteland of Spirits,
Copy !req
117. splitting the nation down the middle,
Copy !req
118. which has led to 200 years of
separation between our peoples.
Copy !req
119. But it seems language has not
changed much in that time.
Copy !req
120. A foreigner speaking the same
language we use in Dōng Li...
Copy !req
121. It's logical to think he's from Xī Yōu.
Copy !req
122. But all of that...
Copy !req
123. It's meaningless speculation, if he's
only been pretending to be ignorant.
Copy !req
124. You don't think Sir Shāng can be trusted?
Copy !req
125. Exactly!
Copy !req
126. After all, he was already working with you.
Copy !req
127. Why's he so suspicious of everybody?
Copy !req
128. Well, as a man who made his
name in the arts of war...
Copy !req
129. That kind of caution may be
what helped him survive this long.
Copy !req
130. Hey, Guǐ Niǎo, just who...
Copy !req
131. Nah, never mind.
Copy !req
132. What do you want, human?
Copy !req
133. Well, you know...
Copy !req
134. I just wanted to ask you something.
Copy !req
135. Struck by a sudden interest in
the art of necromancy?
Copy !req
136. Uh, no, not that.
Copy !req
137. It's about Guǐ Niǎo.
Copy !req
138. You two seem to have
quite a history together.
Copy !req
139. I'm sure you realize exactly
how wretched a subject
Copy !req
140. that is to ask me about, right?
Copy !req
141. Do you want to enrage me that badly?
Copy !req
142. No, no!
Copy !req
143. I just wanna know about Guǐ Niǎo.
Copy !req
144. The more time passes, the less
I get what's going on with him.
Copy !req
145. Guǐ Niǎo?
Copy !req
146. You're a demon,
Copy !req
147. so I understand that you wouldn't
want the Tiān Xing Jiàn to be taken
Copy !req
148. from its resting place.
Copy !req
149. But why would he go through all
this trouble for the Hù Yìn Shī?
Copy !req
150. At first I thought he was just eccentric,
Copy !req
151. but he's willing to stake his
life on it. That's not normal.
Copy !req
152. Speaking as a demon,
Copy !req
153. the way you humans behave
is consistently illogical.
Copy !req
154. You babble about nonsense like
friendship, love, and justice,
Copy !req
155. and even risk your lives for them.
Copy !req
156. Uh... well...
Copy !req
157. Let's put aside the cultural
differences for a sec.
Copy !req
158. What do you, personally, think of Guǐ Niǎo?
Copy !req
159. That's what I was hoping to hear about.
Copy !req
160. Oh, I see.
Copy !req
161. You're trying to find out
where I stand. Is that it?
Copy !req
162. You needn't worry.
Copy !req
163. I resent it, but the fact remains
Copy !req
164. the where the Tiān Xing Jiàn is concerned,
his success is the best option I have.
Copy !req
165. There will be no treachery
until the matter is dealt with.
Copy !req
166. Old scores can be settled afterward.
Copy !req
167. Tell your master that.
Copy !req
168. Whoa, you seem to be getting the wrong idea.
Copy !req
169. Who do you think I'm working for?
Copy !req
170. Instead of trying these
petty schemes against me,
Copy !req
171. you should figure out what to do with the
Screaming Phoenix Killer, shouldn't you?
Copy !req
172. Maybe attack him as he
sleeps or poison him.
Copy !req
173. However it's done, you need to
retrieve the Soul Echo Flute.
Copy !req
174. Why's the conversation keep heading in
every direction except the one I want?
Copy !req
175. If you thought that I would
engage in idle gossip with you,
Copy !req
176. you've severely underestimated me.
Copy !req
177. I'm not exactly sure why you'd
be so suspicious of me.
Copy !req
178. Why wouldn't I be suspicious of some imbecile
Copy !req
179. who claims to have crossed the
Wasteland of Spirits from Xī Yōu?
Copy !req
180. Is there anybody Wú Shēng
didn't tell about that?
Copy !req
181. Compared to the other humans,
you're too much of an enigma.
Copy !req
182. You complain incessantly,
Copy !req
183. yet you're aboard the same boat as the
rest of us. What sense does that make?
Copy !req
184. If I'm going to stand
against Miè Tiān Hái,
Copy !req
185. we basically share the same objective.
Copy !req
186. If you wanted to end Xuán Guǐ
Zōng's enmity towards you,
Copy !req
187. you could've just killed
the Hù Yìn Shī girl
Copy !req
188. and presented them with the
Tiān Xing Jiàn's guard.
Copy !req
189. And that's what a demon would've done?
Copy !req
190. It's the logical thing to do.
Copy !req
191. But your motivation is the
furthest thing from reason.
Copy !req
192. You risk facing the Screaming
Phoenix Killer's blade.
Copy !req
193. Everything you say and do is illogical
and full of contradictions.
Copy !req
194. I'm just doing what I want to.
Copy !req
195. There's no reason to explain it to you.
Copy !req
196. In other words, you either have
some wildly devious scheme,
Copy !req
197. or are simply a moron who has lost his mind.
Copy !req
198. Either way, not someone I intend
on conversing with any longer.
Copy !req
199. Yeah, all right.
Copy !req
200. Sorry to trouble you.
Copy !req
201. Is something the matter? You're up so late.
Copy !req
202. What about you? Trouble sleeping?
Copy !req
203. Yes.
Copy !req
204. I've never been aboard
such a big boat before.
Copy !req
205. The excitement's made
it hard to settle down.
Copy !req
206. I haven't left the grounds of the
Duàn Jiàn Cí since I was a child.
Copy !req
207. And I thought that I would
simply live out my life
Copy !req
208. never knowing what the outside world held.
Copy !req
209. This journey has been full
of so many new things.
Copy !req
210. And, although I'm ashamed to admit it...
Copy !req
211. Doesn't matter what your duty is.
Copy !req
212. If you're enjoying yourself,
it's okay to admit it and smile.
Copy !req
213. They're two different things.
Copy !req
214. Right.
Copy !req
215. But the thing that's most wondrous
Copy !req
216. is how many people are
willing to help me in my duty.
Copy !req
217. I feel so grateful.
Copy !req
218. You say that, but...
Copy !req
219. There's no telling what any
of them are really thinking.
Copy !req
220. Is something bothering you?
Copy !req
221. Look...
Copy !req
222. What do you think about Guǐ Niǎo?
Copy !req
223. He's a wonderful man.
Copy !req
224. To be able to recruit a demon and
a lawless assassin to his cause...
Copy !req
225. He must be of truly remarkable character.
Copy !req
226. There's something about him that bothers me.
Copy !req
227. I can understand why you'd risk
your life for the Tiān Xing Jiàn.
Copy !req
228. But he's offering up his head
for the Soul Echo Flute...
Copy !req
229. And that makes me doubt his sanity.
Copy !req
230. Wouldn't that just mean
Copy !req
231. he intends to make amends with
Sir Wú Shēng during the journey?
Copy !req
232. I can't imagine how he could
make such a promise otherwise.
Copy !req
233. That never occurred to me!
Copy !req
234. I guess a sheltered young lady
Copy !req
235. has a different way of seeing the world.
Copy !req
236. Was what I said really that funny?
Copy !req
237. Nope. I'm genuinely impressed.
Copy !req
238. If everybody believed in the
goodness of people like that...
Copy !req
239. The world would be a lot easier to live in.
Copy !req
240. Do you not believe that
people are good, Sir Shāng?
Copy !req
241. Well, I want to, and there are
individuals that I do believe in.
Copy !req
242. But unfortunately, none
of them are on this boat.
Copy !req
243. What makes you think that?
Copy !req
244. I talked to them and saw firsthand.
Copy !req
245. Everybody thinks everybody
else is up to something.
Copy !req
246. At this rate, the trip's gonna be rough.
Copy !req
247. Everyone seems quite reliable to me.
Copy !req
248. We put our group together because
we'd be taking on a big group.
Copy !req
249. But I'm not sure, when it comes down to it,
Copy !req
250. if they're gonna be able to
work together, to be honest.
Copy !req
251. You truly are a kind person, Sir Shāng.
Copy !req
252. I mean, you seem to sincerely
care about our welfare.
Copy !req
253. I am truly glad, from the bottom of my heart,
Copy !req
254. that you decided to join us on this journey.
Copy !req
255. Dammit...
Copy !req
256. Stuff like this always makes
sheltered girls hard to deal with.
Copy !req
257. We're reaching the pier.
Copy !req
258. Once we leave the boat, we'll be within
a stone's throw of the Demon Spine Mountains.
Copy !req
259. Here's hoping we actually were
able to duck the Xuán Guǐ Zōng.
Copy !req
260. No...
Copy !req
261. Looks like we didn't get that lucky.
Copy !req
262. Just as our master predicted.
Copy !req
263. They came by the river after all.
Copy !req
264. I'm sure they thought
they had outwitted us.
Copy !req
265. What shallow plotting!
Copy !req
266. Two leading a force of enemies.
Copy !req
267. Simply killing them would be an easy matter,
Copy !req
268. but with this much cannon fodder,
reaching them could be a chore.
Copy !req
269. Wow, the infamous Screaming
Phoenix Killer's whining?
Copy !req
270. If someone was able to kill
the two of them before me,
Copy !req
271. they'd be known as the warrior
Copy !req
272. who outdid the Screaming Phoenix Killer.
Copy !req
273. You're serious? Not gonna take that back?
Copy !req
274. Certainly. I'll admit my defeat,
if you manage it.
Copy !req
275. Oh, yeah!
Copy !req
276. Move aside, all of you!
Copy !req
277. It's time for The Frozen Wonder of
the Spear to steal the spotlight!
Copy !req
278. Make way!
Copy !req
279. You're better at handling
the young than I'd imagined.
Copy !req
280. Maybe you should get a student of your own.
Copy !req
281. Nurturing people goes against my nature.
Copy !req
282. As soon as I see any potential in someone...
Copy !req
283. I start to want to kill them.
Copy !req
284. Hey, come on!
Copy !req
285. Are they gonna let him do this alone?
Copy !req
286. Isn't that too much?
Copy !req
287. Even if I wanted to help him,
without some fresh corpses...
Copy !req
288. My spells wouldn't be of much use.
Copy !req
289. There seems to be a sudden rise in the
corpse population, from what I can see.
Copy !req
290. In that case, would one of you go
Copy !req
291. and place these talismans on the corpses?
Copy !req
292. Listen...
Copy !req
293. Right. Consider it done.
Copy !req
294. Alternating Current Strike!
Copy !req
295. Damn!
Copy !req
296. This is getting a little harder!
Copy !req
297. What the?
Copy !req
298. Now, dance, my precious puppets!
Copy !req
299. Necromancy?
Copy !req
300. What in the world are they?
Copy !req
301. Okay, this is a lot less heroic now!
Copy !req
302. All right, scary lady, why don't we
pick up where we left off the other day?
Copy !req
303. Don't be conceited, you little fool!
Copy !req
304. You're about to get outperformed.
Copy !req
305. I suppose it's time, then.
Copy !req
306. I-Impossible!
Copy !req
307. The Screaming Phoenix Killer?
Why are you here?
Copy !req
308. If you want to show me up,
Copy !req
309. then you should at least
master Meteor Walking, boy.
Copy !req
310. Th-That's cheating, you bastard!
Copy !req
311. They're acting with one mind.
Copy !req
312. What wonderful coordination!
Copy !req
313. You gotta be kidding me...
Copy !req
314. Just a demonstration of their unity,
and the mutual trust between allies.
Copy !req
315. What do you think?
Copy !req
316. Do you still have any doubts about
my selections for this group?
Copy !req
317. None.
Copy !req
318. Now... who will die first?
Copy !req
319. If you can't decide,
I can make it simultaneous.
Copy !req
320. Fool, you can't falter now!
Copy !req
321. This is where we prove the true
strength of the Xuán Guǐ Zōng!
Copy !req
322. Withering Bone Melody!
Copy !req
323. Killer Strike: Prohibited Nocturne!
Copy !req
324. Oh, Master!
Copy !req
325. L-Liè Mèi!
Copy !req
326. Wh-What the?
Copy !req
327. Master!
Copy !req
328. I suppose this could be
called a twist of fate.
Copy !req
329. Next Time "Demon Spine Mountains"
Copy !req
330. The gates of Hell lie not only underground,
but can loom in the heavens as well.
Copy !req
331. The embodiment of all that
is evil in the world,
Copy !req
332. a place that is the lair
of most foul villainy.
Copy !req
