CLAYMORE
Episode 15
__________________________
You can't get in contact with Number Forty-Seven, you say?
How long has it been?
It has been three months, the last contact being an Awakened Being hunting mission in Gonal.
That was the mission with Number Four, correct?
There is a possibility she is dead.
We have not found her corpse.
The corpse of Number Four, Ophelia, was found; she had also awakened.
What are the chances Number Forty-Seven slew her?
Considering the gap in their powers,
I'd say close to zero.
Normally, we'd say so.
However, I recall Number Forty-Seven was a special case where she took in that Teresa's flesh and blood.
By passing to her the flesh and blood of a half-human, half-Yoma with great potential,
you planned on preserving that powerful force.
However, didn't you conclude that your plan had been pure fantasy?
A conclusion from looking at her number.
But there are still many uncertainties concerning Number Forty-Seven.
Either way, we cannot let this matter escape us until we determine whether she's dead or alive.
If she's alive, we can definitely find where she is.
Ermita.
Yes.
Let "her" take on this mission,
and consider it top priority.
Other missions can wait after this.
Understood.
If he calls for Ermita,
that must mean it's "her" turn.
It's a time of desperation now.
What will you do, Number Forty-Seven, Clare?

Excuse me.
I'm looking for my little brother.
Have you seen a young boy carrying a sword around here?
I'm not sure.
I haven't seen anyone like that.
I see.
Why don't you try going to the town of Hanel, which lies ahead of here?
People flow in and out all the time,
so there might be someone that saw him there.
Thank you.
I'll take a look.
I hope you find him, pal.
Hey, that was rude, wasn't it?
That was a woman!
You're stupid.
The guy's carrying such a huge sword,
plus his voice was pretty deep.
That's a guy.
Perhaps I should make my voice a bit deeper...
...by lengthening my vocal chords.
Excuse me, but I'm looking for my little brother.
Oh, you're looking for your little brother.
I lost him during our journey.
That must be very tough for you,
for this town is rather large.
It'll be better if you look for him tomorrow.
Yeah.
Raki...
Come in.
Here's your dinner.
Thank you.
You seem to cherish him a lot.
I'm talking about your little brother.
In this era that we live in,
normally we give up if our relatives go missing.
But for you to search for him town after town, he must be dear to you...
I find it surprising myself, too.
N-Nothing.
Well then, enjoy your stay.
Ahh, yes, yes.
I should mention this.
A group of Claymores is currently stationed in this town.
It appears that a very powerful Yoma inhabits the mountains of Zakol,
so as many as four Claymores are here.
As many as four?
Could it be an Awakened Being?
So yeah.
Be careful, okay?
Ah, thanks.
I never thought I'd actually encounter others here.
This medicine that suppresses my Yoki is both good and bad.
While others won't be able to detect me,
I also walked right into a town where other warriors are located.
But I can't be taken back to the organization right now.
Those, eh?
An Awakened Being hunting squad should at least have one warrior with single-digit status.
Which one is it?
Jeane, what's the matter?
No, nothing.
It's probably just me.
No doubt.
She's the one.
Ah, good morning.
You're up early.
I thought there would be more of a crowd in the morning market.
There might be people that have seen my little brother.
I see.
Ah, about the group of Claymores I mentioned yesterday,
it seems they left before dawn.
Now we can all rest in peace.
They say they're on our side,
but they're still half-Yoma.
If they're going after an Awakened Being,
it'll take them at least one day no matter how fast they are.
I'm grateful I won't have to face them at all.
Hmm, a boy carrying a sword?
I don't know of any.
Thank you.
Nothing at all, eh?
Raki, where in the world are you?
Brother, look!
It's Teresa and Clare!
These two are called Teresa and Clare.
Teresa and Clare...
It's the name of one of the two beautiful, pure twin goddesses of love.
It's a name that was probably given by parents who wished their children be brought up that way.
And...
...this one's Clare...
...and this one's Teresa.
Hey, didn't I teach you that?
N-No!
And you were so cocky, you went and explained it to a complete stranger.
I was not being cocky!
That was because he asked me stubbornly which one was Clare!
Yeah, right.
I'm not lying!
Bullshit.
It's true!
Excuse me, little girl.
Could you tell me a bit more about that stranger?
Well, I don't know him.
He was probably from out of town.
What did he look like?
Did he carry a sword with him?
Umm, he was carrying something long.
Did you ask him his name?
No, he was all beat up and injured, so I was quite scared.
And yet you talked that much with him?!
Like I just said, it's because he was asking me about that statue of Clare!
After I told him about Clare, he looked so happy all of a sudden...
...and listened very carefully.
That's why I wasn't scared of him anymore!
And so...
And so, where did he go?
I don't know.
It was like ten days ago,
and we haven't seen him since then.
So, he probably left town already.
I see.
Thank you.
Hey, do you know that guy?
Yeah, to me...
I want to be of help to you, Clare!
I know I'm no help.
But, even so, I want to be by your side!
I don't care if I die!
I want to be with you no matter what, Clare!
To me...
Damn it.
I will make it through this.
I will live on, and see her again...
...Clare again...
Wh-What?!
That's...
Someone...
Help...
My comrades...
Hang in there.
Hey!
Help...
C-Contact... the organization...
It's too strong...
That...
The Awakened Being?
Did the Awakened Being do this to you?
You're... one of us?
Please... save our comrades...
They're all... still alive...
Something's strange about this one.
The enemy's... plotting something...
Please... save them...
Hey!
Sorry, but please take care of the corpse.
If possible, don't be afraid of her...
...and bury her like a normal human.
Hey, you.
Don't tell me you plan on...
...going to the mountains?
Raki...
Number Forty-Seven of the organization, Clare...
...will now join the hunt for the Awakened Being in the Zakol mountains.
Alrighty.
Let's add another pole now.
Here's the sixth one!
This is so weird.
It'd be really great if you could awaken soon...
You're so stubborn.
If you don't awaken soon, you'll end up like her...
...with holes all over your body and dying...
You sure you really want that?
You little...
Don't!
Suppress it, Kathia!
Come on, come on!
That's the way to go!
You'll feel all better after you awaken.
Bear with it!
Do you want to become a monster?!
Who you calling a monster?
Don't diss us, yo.
I'll kill the ones that diss us first.
Excuse me?
What do you think you're doing?
Don't be adding poles without my permission.
But she's...
All right!
Kathia...
Get ready, Duff.
Oh yeah!
What...
What's going on...
How is she, Duff?
Nah, she sucks.
She's not strong at all.
I see.
That's all there is to expect from a Thirty-something after awakening, I guess.
Okay, destroy it.
Stop!!!
Kathia...
I told you we needed someone with single-digit status.
Hurry up and awaken already, Number Nine, Jeane.
Why you...
Hey, hold up there.
Are you by yourself?
I think it's better if you don't go deeper into the mountains.
I heard there are monsters up there.
I suggest you take a detour if you want to go beyond the mountains.
You guys usually don't like to go around in groups.
Y-You're... a Claymore?
She fell for it!
If we attack your legs and body at the same time,
you guys usually jump up!
You guys seem much too knowledgeable about us for some reason.
Plus, you acted in a very uncharacteristic manner, as if you were under the command of a leader.
What are you guys plotting?
You'll know eventually, whether you like it or not.
Did someone just show up?
Oh, you're right.
It's much too fast for it to be reinforcements the girl that ran away called for.
Wow, what a tiny Yoki.
Her number seems very low.
I don't think we can expect much, even if she awakens.
You can have her, Duff.
Do what you want with her.
Oh, really?
To be born as a human...
...and to die as a human.
My truth.
