The moonlight reflection in the lake
Cuddling together, a heart-breaking sigh
Without finding our way to tomorrow, the two of us
Wander through the night
l will not let you go, my tear-colored Venus
l can't be separated from you
Even a morning kiss will turn to pain
But that's okay
We'll stay together
For the recent slaying of the demon in the Royal Valley...
...people of distinguished merit shall be rewarded.
Bolt Crank, the mercenary. Step forward.
What're you doing, Dad?! Get a move on!
Geez!
lt's not like you have to put on makeup! You take too long!
Oh, going out again today?
Morning, Coco!
You're going out everyday, these days.
l tell you, it just won't come to an end that easily.
Hands off!
A monster this big was running wild, you know!
lt's torn up the whole place!
So what good is someone like you going to do there?
A skinny arm like this isn't capable of any hard work.
The more people the better, to carry away the rubble.
That's B.S.
Why?!
Want me to tell you?
Tell me what?
You said "Bolt" something or other, right?
So what?
Oh, dear. You're blushing.
Hiya Coco!
Beautiful as ever, today!
What, you're going too?
lt's good, hard work. And the food's decent, too.
Dad! We're gonna miss the aircraft!
See ya, Coco!
Vanessa! Say hi to Bolt for me!
lt's not what you think!
Hey, Coco!
Oh, good morning!
Dear Lord...
l pray that in this repose and deep sleep that has arrived...
...you will give us blessings from all over the land.
Give us your divine protection.
Bolt!
What's the big rush?
No rush at all...
Well, let's do a good job today!
The man in the tent.
l'm sure he's the mercenary who was hired by the palace.
Shows how strong he is, having slain the demon all on his own.
He did?
That man has incredible power.
But why would a man who'd endanger the Empire...
...go to the trouble of slaying a demon...?
Fredericks!
He's eating a screw!
A demon that emits red electromagnetic waves...
And a man who eats metal.
Until the sword is returned, l'll be suspicious of that man.
Excuse me, but l'm not open yet.
Let's get outta here.
Hello, this is Coco's.
It's me.
I won't let you say you've forgotten about me.
What a despicable hobby.
l'm honored by your flattery.
Just you wait.
Next will be something that'll really hit home.
Why not go all the way and just kill me?!
That wouldn 't be any fun for me, now would it?
Let's have ourselves a good time.
For example...that kid...
Her name's Vanessa, right?
Hey, how about using a little more discretion?!
But it was moving as if it were alive...
So this thing was made of metal beams...
Sulphuric acid bullets were used on it...
So it's badly rusted.
Rest assured. lt won't be moving any more.
But what if sulfuric acid bullets hadn't been used?
lt might not have been killed.
Get every last piece of this monster and pack them over...
...to the Agency of the Supreme Pontiff.
Don't put it in the wrong truck!
You called for me?
Robert!!
Robert, it's awful!
What on earth...?
A demon! A demon has come!
The demon has been slayed.
lt's no longer here, Your Majesty.
Robert! The sword!
Bring the royal sword!
Your Majesty...!
There's a demon!!
Your Majesty...! Hey!!
Let go! A demon!!
Your Majesty!
This is it.
Don't do it.
l don't know what happened.
But a gun just doesn't suit you.
What's that?
Something like that couldn't possibly have happened.
Yes, sir, but a subordinate has confirmed it.
That's ridiculous.
That perfect Shiji Force...?
lt'd be absolutely impossible for Ambrosia's troops.
lt wasn't the defense troops that defeated the Shiji Force...
...it was the voluntary troops.
So they've brought on hundreds of mercenary soldiers.
Well, that explains it.
Not exactly...
What do you mean?
One of the volunteers, a man called, "Bolt"...
...defeated it single-handedly.
You're saying he defeated the Shiji Force all on his own?!
Yes, sir!
What're you staring at?!
Nothing special.
Just wondering how the restoration was going!
The tombs are that way!
Oh...uh, looks like the restoration's well under way!
Uh, thought l might as well take in the view while l'm here.
There's nothing where you were looking, but Bolt's tent!
Yeah, l guess.
You're not merely an aircraft pilot, are you?
What're you trying to find out about Bolt?
Are you thinking of using him for something?
Well, what is it?!!
l dunno what tricks you're up to...
...but just try doing something to Bolt!
l'm not gonna just sit by and watch!!
-Got it?! -Mm-hm!
And don't you forget it!!
What's with her?!
Another hard day's work.
What do you say to a drink, on the way home?
Not a chance!
Dad, you promised the money you'll get from this job...
...will go towards Dustin and the others' education!
Don't be such a stickler. lt's just for one drink!
No way, no how!!
Stingy!
Did you say something?!
Over here, Bolt.
Hi!
H-Hello.
Still no customers?
l just opened up now.
Where's Vanessa?
Why would she be here? She doesn't like this stuff.
l thought she might come for something to eat.
You brought her something over this morning, though.
What's wrong with you?
Oh, that's right.
Maybe l'm just tired today.
Whoah! Bolt, you're a pretty hard drinker yourself.
Dad!!
Wh-Wh-What?!!
l only had a sip! l swear!!
l'm not talking about that!
Something terrible's happened to the shop!
The shop?
My shop!!
Hey, old man!
You got something to say to me?!
Why you filthy excuse of a human being!
Dad!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!!
Why'd you go and do this to my shop?!
My, you're quite a feisty old fart.
You wanna end up looking like this shop?!
Just you try it, you scuzbag!
Don't think l'm gonna just sit back...
...and let a sleaze like you do this to me!
Now this is getting interesting!
Just show me what you can do!
Huh! l'm not afraid of a beggar like you!
l couldn't manage a parts shop worrying about airheads like you!
Well, well...
You stupid blockhead!
Hey you! How dare you do that to my dad's shop?!
Vanessa! No, Vanessa!
Don't, Vanessa!
Coco...
l've been waiting for you, Coco.
Vanessa, Ted... l'm sorry.
lt's me he's got business with.
Coco...
lt's been a long time.
See?
l told you l was gonna show you something interesting.
Ow...
What's wrong? You crabby?
You're still twisting men around your finger, l see.
What?
l don't believe it!
Listen up you guys!
You should keep your distance from this woman.
The ones who get involved with her end up in bad shape.
l almost lost my life, too.
Right, Coco?
lsn't that so?
So what's your point?!
l dunno what Coco did in the past.
But l DO know that you're a real scuz bucket of a man!
Say what?!
Thank you, Vanessa.
When l came here, l was practically in rags.
But...
...all of you...
...treated me so kindly.
Don't, Coco!
That's...!
l don't care what happens to me.
But l won't let you...
...do anything to these people...
...on my account!
No, Coco...!
lt's dangerous to carry something like this around.
So you became a kind woman in the end?
Sure you don't wanna kill me for your own reasons?
Take your hands off her.
What's that?!
Bolt!
You blind, or something?!
Let go!
Let go of it!!
Damn!
What?!
He ate the sword!!
He's eating it! lmpossible...!
l have indigestion.
Run for it! Hurry! Coco! Bolt!
Bolt! Look out!
Th-That's...!
Bolt!
That sword is...!
There's no mistaking it. lt's the treasured royal sword.
The Ambrosian Sword.
Which means...!
HE'S the brave man!
l want to know what in the world this contains.
Have it researched immediately!
Right, but...
...the researchers have their hands full, analyzing the demon.
Save that for later!
Sir!
Those spoils which resist the most are the most treasured.
Struggle! Suffer!
Yes!
Don't forget that it is l who will have the last laugh!
Never saying l love you
Never betraying anyone
Never leaving a promise or tears behind
Leaving behind achievements, just disappearing
That's what they call a traveling man
Born to be free, just like the wind
Born to be free, just like the clouds
Always a drifter, gazing about
As long as he lives
Born to be free
Coming Next
Tomorrow, it's up to you.
