It seems we are up against a Voracious Eater.
A Voracious Eater?
You two are no match for it!
Run! You're in my way!
--What is it?! --What's this commotion?!
Hold it!
Damn it!
I bet she's dead.
No, her heart is beating just barely.
Hey, what're you going to do, Galk?
Just leave her alone. A monster like that.
She saved my life.
I repay my debts.
Even if she may be half Yoma.
Ah, ikutsu-mono yoru o koete
Koutta yume to kieyuku namida
Warm me, warm me, wrap me
Hito o aisenai kono mi ga nikui
Doko made aruitemo owari ga mienai
Kako no kioku o michizure ni
Kono mi wa nani-iro ni somari-yuki no darou
Kotae o sagashiteru
Clare!
Clare...
Tell me, is Clare all right?!
Since she is half-man, half-monster,
we do not know how we should treat her.
No... Then, Clare is...
She's going to die.
A Yoma and a half-man, half-monster tried to kill each other. That's all.
It's nothing for us to fuss about.
B-Bastard!
Clare is always prepared to lay down her life when she fights!
For us humans!
Clare took me in!
You have no idea how happy that made me!
Clare's kinder and more pure of heart than any normal humans!
Damn, the mood's ruined.
I'm going back to my post.
Are you all right?
Damn it! Damn it!
Don't cry.
It's not over yet.
There's power in having faith.
There definitely is, even if it's only a little.
Have faith.
That she will live.
Ah, you are awake.
I'm sorry, Father. It seems I've inconvenienced you.
No, not at all.
How many days has it been?
It will have been two days.
All the while, Raki has stayed by your side,
praying that you will open your eyes.
I'm sorry, Father, but I have a favor to ask.
Father Vincent!
What is this about in the dead of night?!
I am sorry to have asked you to come here,
but I would like for you to do as I instruct for a time.
Father Vincent...
What is the meaning of this?
A Yoma investigation.
A-A Yoma investigation?!
You cannot mean that it is hiding among us?!
Unfortunately, considering the situation thus far,
we have no choice but to think that it is.
Silver eyes!
A silver-eyed witch?! Vincent!
Are you the one who brought this demon here?!
We had no other choice.
What is the meaning of this?
Bishop Camuri!
Vincent, you bastard!
You mean to include even the Archibishop in the investigation?!
I won't stand for it! That I will not stand for!
Vincent!
Please cooperate with us.
Damn. I don't like this.
--Good. --She's a damn half-man, half-monster.
It's Father Vincent's orders.
I know that.
Good, you're fine.
By the way, do you really plan to go through with it?
With what that woman said.
When she finds the Yoma, she'll grab on and hold it still,
so we're to spear it, woman and all?
She's probably serious.
I can't believe that her body is fully healed.
So that makes this the most certain way to do it.
I don't like it.
Sacrificing her own life, she means to save the lives of us humans...
It's just like that brat said.
And you're fine with that?!
With what?
This city is our city!
Damn it!
--Good, you're fine. --A-All right.
It's strange. I don't sense the presence of a Yoma.
And everyone has their right eye, which I put out.
Good, you're fine.
Aw, man, talk about unlucky.
To be made to wait out here.
I don't like this baptism chamber.
After all...
With this guy here...
You're fine.
That leaves two.
No!
He isn't a Yoma, either!
Am I fine?
Yes.
That leaves one.
Wh-What are you...
I'm sorry, Father Vincent, but you're no exception, either.
I am...
I'm going to examine you.
No!
He's not a Yoma, either?!
What is going on?
It should be in the cathedral!
So why can't I find it?
Does that mean I've missed something?
Think. Think!
From its perspective,
it doesn't care what it uses, if it can hide itself.
Man or woman.
Whether it's a child or it's an aged elder.
Or even a corpse!
But man, talk about seriously bad taste.
But aren't they done with the Yoma investigation yet?
Raki!
I wonder if Clare's okay.
Ouch...
Clare?
Are you all right? Any injuries?
No, I'm fine.
I'll hold off the Yoma.
You run to the exit.
Got it?
Clare?!
No!
Raki!
Run, brat!
Stay away! I don't need help!
That's exactly right.
Quit trying to save everyone all by yourself!
Injured as you are, this brat is about the only one you can save.
This city is our city!
We've long been prepared to lay down our lives to protect it!
You fight for the boy and for yourself!
We'll fight for the city!
We're the soldiers who guard this holy city, after all!
Here we go!
Damn! I can't reach it!
Don't go! You won't be able to do anything!
No! This!
We have to get this to Clare!
What is that thing?
Never mind! Just hurry!
Catch, woman!
C-Claymore...
Now, shall we begin the Yoma hunt?
Why you!
Damn!
Bastard...
I-Incredible...
So that's how a Claymore truly is with her great sword...
No...
She's straining herself...
Clare is fighting beyond her limit right now.
What's wrong? You look pale.
I see.
You wanted to make it seem as though you had the advantage
and settle this in one fell swoop.
You don't wish for this fight to become protracted.
You failed.
Rather than the one arm,
you originally wanted that blow to lop off my head, didn't you?
See? I got you!
This is no time to be distracted.
Ah-ah!
How's that? Like the view?
Or do you have a fear of heights?
Don't be so impatient.
I'll bring you down in no time!
Die!
Galk!
Are you all right, woman?!
Can you get up?!
Woman, this is the best we can do!
Just as you said, we're not even close to being a match!
You can use our lives however you see fit.
Please, bring that thing down!
Take this!
Did you think a suicidal charge would get you anywhere?
You fool.
Now's your chance!
Go!
Sorry for being such fools.
You bastard...
What? Of its own will?
You made a mistake!
Draw your sword left or right, you won't hit anything vital!
Clare!
Is your vital point.... your head?
Y-You did it, Clare!
She went and did it, that woman...
A Claymore, huh? She's something else.
Clare! Are you all right?!
Hang in there...
Clare, are you all...
C-Clare?
It's no use... I can't go back...
Clare, what's wrong?!
What is this? What do you think you're doing, Clare?!
I used too much Yoma power in my damaged state.
It doesn't look like I can stop it from going out of control.
Wh-What?
So, while I'm still aware as a human,
I will take my own life.
What are you saying, Clare?!
This is goodbye.
No...
--Clare! --Stay away from me!
Galk, please.
Quickly... Quickly, please.
Wh-What is this? What do you think you're doing?
Raki, I'm sorry.
I can't go back anymore.
Clare!
By continuing to use our Yoma powers,
we grow closer to being a Yoma.
But...
...that doesn't happen gradually.
It's possible for us to suddenly reach our limit one day.
N-No...
It's all I can do to control this body that's already turning into a Yoma.
This is goodbye, Raki.
What do you think you're doing?! Do you mean to die?!
Please, Raki.
Let me go.
Quickly. Or else...
...my awareness as a human...
...will no longer...
I was happy that I got to travel with you, Clare!
My parents and brother were killed and the village forsook me.
Everything I loved disappeared in an instant.
So I was happy when you let me travel with you, Clare.
More than anything, the fact that I had someone to be with...
You said that you weren't kind,
but you were far kinder to me than anyone else out there.
So... So...
I want to always be by your side and not anyone else's.
If you're going to die, I'm going with you!
The Yoma aura has stopped going berserk?
Clare!
Sheesh, talk about troublesome.
She didn't become a Yoma.
That's all there is to it, right?
She was saved at the very end.
By that boy.
Cl-Clare!
Clare!
I am indebted to you for a great deal, Father.
What are you saying?
We are the ones who were helped by you.
That was my duty.
Also, the Bishop readily gave his consent
to the idea of taking Raki in under our wing.
What?
Clare...
Want to come with me, Raki?
Yeah!
Hey, brat!
Take this with you.
What?
Woman, don't you die.
Let's go, Raki.
Oh, right.
Hey, brat!
Grow strong!
You go and grow strong enough to back up Clare!
Yeah! Leave it to me!
