Fureta yubi sameta KIZUNA ni
My fingers touched the cool bond
Kuzure yuku kokoro no sukima
In the crevice of my crumbling heart
Samayou KARADA wow...
My body wanders whoa...
KATACHI naku yami e to kieru
Disappearing into the shapeless darkness
Iro aseta omoi wa tooku
My faded thoughts are distant
Sagasu no wa jinki rao
What I search for is a mirage
"Mirai o tooku ni kazashiteru..."
"I'm holding the future far away overhead..."
Kirameita sekai tooi kiwaku wa
In a world that sparkled, my distant memory
Miageta sora yume o yobi okosu
Is calling my dreams to mind in the sky that I looked up at
Hateshinai yaro ni deau keshiki wa
In the scenery of us meeting on a ceaseless night
Sugita hibi no kotae mo miezu
I can't even see the end of the days that we spent
Konna ni mo tooku hanareteite mo
Even if we're separated so far apart
Terasu hikari KIMI ni tadori tsuku
The illuminating light makes its way to you
Kiseki wa kanau hazu
The miracle should come true
So you're the one behind all this!
[The Village Where the Witch Lives, Part Two]
Thank you so much!
Shut up! Don't cry!
He came to save me!
When I came to, I was tied up here.
When you came to?
Yes, it felt like I was in a dream...
This is the witch's cabin?
I wonder how I got here.
You came of your own accord?
So it would seem.
It just felt like I was dreaming.
There was a steak in my dream,
and I chased the plate that held it...
Before I knew it, I was tied up on this bed.
I don't know what could have happened.
You...
Ah, I guess I'm hungry again.
Well, now's the perfect time for those-
Huh? Looks like there's a hole in the bag!
So that's why they spilled onto the road.
You didn't do that on purpose?
No! I'd never waste them like that!
This is all thanks to Ms. Sophia.
What are you two going to do from here on?
Well, I was planning on going back to your inn and sleeping some more...
Well, first off-
A-Actually, if you go straight this way you can get out of the village.
Wouldn't you like to get out of here?
I'd like to go with you, if I could...
Why would you?
Please help me!
Please! There's a witch in this village!
We must run!
Please!
No, thanks.
No..
Let me ask you this;
where is the witch?
It looked as though someone was living in that cottage quite recently.
What happened to her?
Why don't you answer me?
Could it be that the witch is-
Sir?
What happened?
Why did he runaway?
So there is indeed a witch...
What?
So you're still here, Akuma?
I'm sorry!
Sir, stay with me!
I'm sorry!
Please forgive me!
Let's go
Right...
Ms. Sophia?
Welcome home.
What happened?
Both you and my father were gone when I awoke. I was getting worried.
Um, well...
Sophia, we need to talk.
Yes?
Your father is dead.
He died by an Akuma's hand while trying to escape the village.
Is that so?
Sophia, are you a witch?
Mr. Kanda, how could you, at a time like this?!
Shut up
I'll ask again.
Are you this town's witch?
No
I am not.
Then who was living in the witch's cottage until so recently?
There's a legend that a witch lives in this village.
Since long ago, they've branded a lonely old woman as a sorceress.
Branded?
Yes.
They gave her only the barest necessities and shunned and feared her.
She became a witch.
As long as there was a witch, all the problems the village encountered could be blamed on her.
And so the village lived on in peace.
That is the truth of this town's witch.
My goodness...
However, that old lady, the witch, died one month ago
Died? Just of old age, right?
Was that a problem?
You idiot.
It's a tradition.
When the witch dies, a replacement becomes necessary.
Correct.
The simple townsfolk thought that a witch was necessary,
and chose a new one.
Angela, my sister.
Your sister?
Yes, my twin sister.
Unlike me, though, Angela was in poor health.
Angela, shall I stay a while?
What?
Until yesterday, you were all set to go!
You were so excited about going to the big city, weren't you?
Humph!
I'm glad I finished...
What's-
Stay safe in Mitterwald.
Why did you do this?
You have to take care of yourself!
I-I'm sorry,
but I wanted to do something for you.
You're my only sister, after all.
What's the matter, Sophia?
Angela, I'd do anything for you!
I'll get you your medicine, and work up enough money to have a doctor see you!
When you're well again, we'll work together to make your dreams come true!
Yes.
Thank you.
However...
Whilst I was working in Mitterwald, Angela was chosen as the village's witch.
My father could not countermand the town's decision.
Angela was taken to the cottage on the outskirts of the town and made to live there, alone.
She was all alone in that cold, dark shack.
Angela's illness became much worse.
She didn't even last ten days.
I died.
No! No, that's terrible!
"I"?
Sophia came home the day after I died.
My body was left on the bed In the witch's cottage.
"My"? Ms. Sophia?
You still can't tell?
Sophia was visited by the Millennium Earl.
That's right.
Angela! I'm sorry!
If only... If only I'd been here!
My, my, you poor girl!
How would you like to avenge yourself on your unfortunate destiny?
You can return your sister to life,
and in so doing, take your revenge against this world and the God that created it.
Can I really do that?
Indeed.
If it be your wish.
Sophia, why?
Why?
Welcome home, Angela.
Yes, now kill that girl and take her form!
We can be together again.
Angela!
Sophia...
I'll never let you go
Now, let's begin.
No, that's too awful!
Angela and Sophia were both sacrificed over this stupid witch nonsense!
You're very kind, but there's no need to cry.
After all, I called myself forth from the grave, and...
Gave my own life for it.
I killed myself and became myself again.
Both Sophia and Angela, the twins, merged into a single Akuma...
And, the townspeople...
Exactly.
No, all the villagers?!
Yes, indeed.
Y-You turned all the villagers into Akuma?
Then, you're a real witch!
Yes, that's right. I decided to make the legend real.
Then...
What's wrong with that?
Then, your father...
It was his duty to see this village to its end,
but he tried to run.
He got what he deserved.
Poor thing...
Why poor thing?
If only he hadn't refused, then-
No!
You're the worst off of them all.
You're a sacrifice.
What's all this nonsense?
I'm a witch! A witch!
Is that all you have to say?
Yes, that's all.
Goodbye, Mr. Exorcist.
Mr. Kanda!
This is the Witches' Village.
All who come here are killed, and can never return.
You'll just get in my way.
Run and hide.
What?!
Do you want to die?
Ah, right!
Damn him!
That's it.
You're not fit to be a finder.
Mr. Kanda!
This is bad!
Did any of the Akuma's blood virus get into you?!
I'm fine.
But you'll-
The Akuma virus does not affect me.
Stay back.
But you're injured!
Don't worry about it.
Innocence, activate!
Herald of Woe!
Beasts of the Underworld!
I forgot to tell you one thing just now.
What's that?
When your father died,
he said that he was sorry, and to forgive him.
Is that so?
The last villager I destroyed before coming here also said he was sorry, and to forgive him.
To whom do you suppose they were apologizing?
Well, I don't really care.
Do you?
No, I don't care, either.
Well, I'm so glad we agree.
You've killed so many.
And so I will from here on.
No, this is it.
It's over.
Where am I?
My room?
No! That's impossible!
It can't be!
It can't be...
Right...
It can't be.
Farewell.
Not good enough.
Why?
You can read an opponent's mind
and project their fantasies back at them as a dream, can't you?
How could you remain calm, after seeing that?
What you read was only a fragment of what I desire.
You don't understand what that flower's death means to me,
or what my true desire is.
My wish could never be fulfilled by someone else.
I see.
You harbour a darkness within you that even I cannot understand.
Ms. Sophia!
No!
Stay back!
I'm a witch.
I know.
Even so, I don't want to see you die.
You cry for a witch?
You're such a fool.
I couldn't help her...
It's so terrible...
Ms. Sophia... Ms. Angela...
There's this lame beansprout exorcist I know
who says that he can see the souls of Akuma.
Yeah?
And if he's to be believed, the Akuma we destroy
have their souls freed and purified.
I-Is that true?
Then, Sophia and Angela were both saved?!
I don't know!
That's just what he says. I can't tell.
All Akuma are the same.
Mr. Kanda, where are you going?
My business here is done. I'm headed for my original destination.
W-Wait for me!
Keep away from me.
You're not fit to be a finder.
Go back home.
But, what about your wounds?
They're healed.
Healed? What do you mean?
That's just the way I operate.
Don't worry about it.
Huh?
My mission is complete.
I could not find any Innocence,
but the Akuma in the village and surrounding forest are all destroyed.
Eh? You did that yourself?
No
Mr. Kanda did it. He destroyed all the Akuma.
What? Kanda did?
Yes. He's a wonderful exorcist indeed.
Not exactly the punctual type, are you?
What's the matter? Something good happen?
Why?
Whenever something good happens to you,
you have to force that aloof look onto your face.
How'bout it? Am I right?
Kumo no sukima kobereru
A dazzling light is coming from
mabushii hodo no hikari ni
the opening of the clouds,
yo wa sa misukasaresou de
as if it sees through my weakness.
Fuini te o kazashita
I held my hands up over my head to protect myself.
Urayamu dake de itsumo
When I was envious,
akirameta furi o shita
I always pretended to give up.
Omoi ga abarer u kara
My feelings are too vehement,
mata boku o mayoimasen
so I won't lose my way once again.
Kuyashiku kara tte
Even if I am frustrated,
hito wa daremo minna
it must be the same for everybody.
Sono ashi de susumu shikanai da yo
I have no choice but to advance on my own.
Samayotte nayande sonna jibun mo
Even if I am puzzled and troubled,
te suru mirai wa konna katachi darou
it's how we make progress.
Kowashite shimae jama suru fuan o
I will break down this anxiety that hinders me.
Kudaite shimae nigiri shimeta te de
I will smash it with my hand tightly clenched.
Sono itami kizande
I will carve this pain,
sokka tobikome
and jump over it,
owarinaki yume no tsudzuki e
until I can grasp this endless dream.
