In the Next Episode
Romeo Candorebanto Montague...
Montague...
What is it? Hey!
Get a hold of yourself!
Romeo... is Montague's son?
Are you all right?
It's me.
Doctor.
What?
The Duke's own son?
Yes.
The official word is that the doctor was threatened by the Red Whirlwind...
...and knows nothing.
He was found innocent and released.
That should resolve the problem.
See to it that word of this incident does not go any further.
I will.
Well, well, that's quite a nuisance for us.
Watch your mouth. He's the Grand Duke's son.
Oh dear, excuse me.
You continue gathering information.
We must stop at nothing to catch the Red Whirlwind.
Yes, I understand.
Whatever your reason, it's good that you returned safely...
...but nevertheless, you mustn't do anything so reckless again.
Do you understand, Lady Juliet?
You have inherited that name now.
Name?
Yes, indeed! The name of the Capulet House.
Once we destroy the Montagues...
After all these years...
What's the use of killing the Montagues now after all these years?
But to resort to murder...
Lady Juli-
I don't want to take revenge!
It is not taking revenge! It is taking back Neo Verona.
They're the same! I...
Even so, it must be done.
Juliet, let's get you into some dry clothes.
You will catch a cold.
I should never have come to love irises.
Romeo.
I was worried about you!
I heard that you fell into the canal.
My father specifically sent me word.
You've had quite a time too, Cielo.
You know, Benvolio.
Why does my father hate even the very thought of the Red Whirlwind?
Well...
The Red Whirlwind is an element of rebellion against the Duke...
Why ask, all of a sudden?
I can't convince myself that the Red Whirlwind is such a bad man.
I feel as though, when my father conducts his "girlhunts," his actions are more in the wrong.
For the townspeople, isn't the Whirlwind fighting on the side of justice?
Romeo... you...
You couldn't have allowed him to escape on purpose?
This town needs the Red Whirlwind.
Romeo, you mustn't say such things.
You will be the Grand Duke some day.
Then, isn't it all the more important to do the right thing?
You cannot govern a country with righteousness alone.
Why? I can't believe you would say that as well.
All right then, what power do you have to do about this "injustice"?
I say this as your friend.
I beg of you, don't act so recklessly again!
For your own sake as well.
It doesn't make sense...
Juliet, it's night time now!
You haven't left your room, so I thought maybe you didn't know whether it was day or night.
Thanks, Antonio.
Okay.
It's as if...
the moon is weeping...
Sorrow makes time pass slowly, doesn't it, Cielo?
I'm not him! You have the wrong man!
Silence, Red Whirlwind!
Please believe me!
We received a tip naming you as the Red Whirlwind!
Wait! There's been some kind of mistake!
Please don't! If they catch you again...
Hurry up and confess!
It's not me! It's not!
"Reward for Information," what a joke!
Don't die, Red Whirlwind.
Oh my, Odin. You're wrapped up a little much for a stroll.
Willy...
Gracious, what's with that anguished look?
Love troubles, isn't it?
N-Not at all! That's not...
Be calm.
Just as there is no mist that does not lift,
troubles concerning love will vanish in the twinkling of an eye.
Merely by looking at your loved one's face.
Willy... can you not tell anyone that I've gone out?
As you like it. Have fun now.
Thank you.
I want to see Romeo...
But...
Irises are blooming even here...
Romeo Candorebanto Montague...
Why? Why must he be Montague's son?
If this flower had no name, it would still smell as sweet...
Father, Mother, forgive me.
I have fallen in love with he whom I must not love.
Hey, why'd you come here?
Weren't we going to see the irises?
I give up on you.
Romeo...
That's right... in this guise...
My apologies. Did I disturb you?
No, not particularly.
We'll be on our way soon... huh?
Hey, Cielo.
W-What?
It seems he wants you to ride on him.
If you have the time, I wonder, could you indulge him?
Indulge? You mean, ride with you?
Not if you don't want to.
No...
I don't mind.
Good. Have you ever ridden a pegasus?
Just once.
Then you should be fine.
All right, I'm getting on.
Pardon me.
What is it?
The scent of irises...
I see! He was drawn to your scent.
He loves the scent of irises.
Cielo, don't go too fast.
Hey!
Sorry about that. Usually he listens to me, but...
I know.
Nothing.
What is it? Are you frightened?
What?
It's... it's nothing.
You're an odd one.
The wind feels good.
The scent of irises...
I like it too.
Is that so?
I'm home.
Welcome back.
How was it in town?
Terrible. There are manhunts for the Whirlwind everywhere.
Oh... you mustn't inform Lady Juliet of it!
This is the first time I've flown so high.
I... see.
This feels good...
I'm glad I'm not sulking in my room.
I'm sorry.
I'm being inconsiderate.
No.
As soon as he's satisfied, let me take you home.
What's your name?
Odin.
Odin, is it? That's a nice name.
And you?
I'm Romeo.
Romeo... what?
I'm a fool. His name won't change merely by asking him again!
I don't like the name that comes after that.
If I could, I would just be Romeo.
Then, you could refuse your family name?
I wish I could... as my mother did.
What?
Never mind.
Do you really wish to know? My name?
No, it's all right. Not now.
If we could...
What?
It's nothing.
I was thinking, wouldn't it be nice if we could just keep flying?
And you?
The same.
I see. It seems we get along well.
Yes.
Yes... I wish it could stay like this, right now.
I wish I could forget our names.
Antonio.
What?
Have you seen Juliet?
No... not today.
I see.
Has she left?
She wasn't in her room or anywhere else.
Juliet...
Let's head back. I'll take you home.
Where's your house? Near the Keep?
No...
Is it far?
At any rate, we'll head towards the Keep-
I don't want to head towards the Keep.
Then, where is your house?
If we don't hurry, you'll be completely soaked.
I don't dislike getting wet in the rain.
You... don't wish to go home yet?
Well... I feel the same about not wanting to go home.
Then, let's find somewhere to wait until the rain stops. Is that all right?
Yes.
Aren't you going to dry your clothes?
No.
Why?
I'm... I'm fine like this.
I don't believe in undressing in the presence of others.
You're embarrassed? And you call yourself a man...
That's not why.
Strange fellow. Don't blame me if you catch a cold.
I know, I know. I'll towel you down right now.
I'm going to towel him down. If you want to undress and dry your clothes, it's best to do it now.
There, there.
That's the best I can do-
Juliet?
J-Juliet...
One - just one man's shoulders...
...the garments he's clad in...
...are a crimson prayer, entrusted with the tears of the people.
Pride in oneself, and righteousness...
...when the day dawns, devotion to both...
...demands belief in holding fast to them.
Next time, Romeo and Juliet, Act Five:
Whirlwind, ~Blazing Resolution.~
Is this truly a love that shall never bear fruit?
