What's wrong, Lycoris? Can't sleep?
Hmm? Oh, no. Just a little longer...
Just a little longer and then my mission will be over.
Say, Lycoris? What are you going to do after that?
After this journey ends?
After that?
After that, you say?
I'll finish scouting Mr. Orphen for the Royal Public Order,
and... and then... and then after that... after that...
I wonder what I'll do then?
Episode Number 18 Rhapsody of Sorrow
My stomach's so empty my eyes have grown hazy...
Me too, big brother.
Who from where is standing still in place like this?!
I'll stand-and-read-for-free you to death at a bookstore!
You!
Huh? Is it just my imagination? You!
Huh? Is it just my imagination?
Cranes are 1000 years, turtles are 250 years too early! Crap! You!
Somehow, this scenery... Cranes are 1000 years, turtles are 250 years too early! Crap! You!
Get outta the way, you! Crap! Get outta the way! Bucket!
I think I've seen it before somewhere... Get outta the way, you! Crap! Get outta the way! Bucket!
Huh? Bucket?
Who are you?!
Oh, myself is...
Leki? Are you Leki?
Big sister!
Cleao!
I'm home.
When did you get to Totokanta?
Just now. I thought I would surprise you, but you weren't home!
Cleao? Is that Cleao?
Mother?
Mother!
Oh, Cleao dear!
Your hair is dry, isn't it?
What? Well, you know...
Come now, anyway, we'll talk after we've made you beautiful.
Oh, yes! But you know, I have a lot of things I want to tell you!
You look well, don't you, Majic?
Yeah, you too, Father.
We dropped into Totokanta in the middle of our travels.
It's nostalgic, after all!
And what about Orphen?
Yo!
Teacher of Sorcery, you must be tired!
How about a cold one?
No, maybe later. That room okay?
It's free.
Then I'll take you up on it for a nap.
Here ya go.
Thank you.
Wait up! Ouch!
Really! What're you tripping for?
Hartia?
After all, I didn't know when the both of you were coming home, so...
So you broke the glass?
Sorry! Sorry! Forgive me! I'm sorry!
Really, you haven't changed, Cleao?
The Royal Public Order of Knighthood; that's quite a job, isn't it, Miss Lycoris?
Oh no, myself is still a novice, and myself causes Cleao and everyone nothing but trouble.
Just a little further to our goal!
It's all right! I'm with you, so rest assured.
Okay!
Leave it to me! That Cleao, she's completely into playing the "big sister".
Are you all right? Cleao? That Cleao, she's completely into playing the "big sister".
Are you all right? Cleao? It seems the two get along well, doesn't it?
Of course!
Say, especially about chocolate coins! Right?
Chocolate coins?
Lycoris, you said that you liked them too, right?
The chocolates shaped like a coin in a gold wrapper?
That's right! Right! That's right, huh?
When I held it carefully and tightly,
it melted so it wasn't edible and I cried a whole bunch, right?
Miss Lycoris, we're having a feast tonight.
Think of this as your own house and please make yourself at home, okay?
Yes!
I'll put your change of clothes here, okay?
Yes!
You have a very kind family, don't you?
You think so? We're always fighting, you know.
I'm envious... as far back as I can remember, I've been alone, so...
Is that so. Lycoris, you don't have any family, huh...
Nope.
Wow!
How is it?
It fits perfectly!
It looks good on you!
I'm glad. I wondered, since it was one of my old ones, but...
No, it's very wonderful!
Thank you very much!
How's it going?
Have you improved a little? Your magic.
Yeah, well, yeah...
Is that so.
Say, Father?
What is it?
I... Maybe I'll give up being a sorcerer and work here?
Even if you're traveling,
a girl must always be careful about her appearance, you know.
Right, right!
You too. Cleao.
What? Oh, that's right.
Now, I'll do you later too, so...
Yes!
Lycoris? Lycoris!
Lycoris, I'm talking to you!
I...
Here. We're done, you know.
Thank you... very much...
Say, this hair accessory is lovely, isn't it?
Yes. It's my treasure.
It's kinda childish, you know. Is it a present from someone?
Yes, my big sister.
I got it from my big sister...
a treasured... treasured... treasured...
Say, Lycoris?
Yes?
Lycoris, you have a big sister?
No.
But, you said that just now, didn't you?
That you got that hair accessory from your big sister.
I don't have a big sister! Or any family at all!
I've been all alone this whole time and...
All alone and...
Come out! Sword of Light!
Sword of Light!
It's no use...
One more time.
Try it one more time.
You are...
You have the ability. It's just that you are a bit timid.
Timid?
Unconsciously, you fear failure and are holding in your own strengths.
Close your eyes.
Close your eyes and rid yourself of all worldly thoughts.
Concentrate your mind upon the target.
Then the image...
Strongly picture the scene of your target shattering to pieces.
Strongly...
Pieces...
Concentrate.
Come out! Sword of Light!
Just now... I did...
Who in the world are you?
Huh?
What do you want, making me come out to a place like this? Hartia?
That's...
It's the object that was recovered from the Creature last time.
And I investigated it, but...
Did you find something out?
That's what I don't know.
It seems like a cell from some kind of life form, but...
A cell from a life form?
Krylancelo. You know about the perennial youth magics
that the Tower of Fang was researching long ago, don't you?
Yeah, the one that the Tower of Fang gave up and left incomplete?
That's right. Together with the cessation of research,
all the documents were entombed in darkness.
That... That was how it should have been.
"How it should have been"?
The Creatures that have assaulted you until now, they seem to be
the fruit of research from that time put to practical use with these cells.
Is that true?
When I pursued the investigation of the sorcerers who participated in
that research at the time, this man surfaced...
McGregor.
As soon as the cessation of the research had been decided upon,
he left the Tower of Fang.
Is he alive? This man?
I don't know. He is missing, along with his two daughters.
Missing?
Thank you for the food!
Wow! This is really delicious!
I'm glad. Please eat a lot, okay?
Yes!
Say, Lycoris?
What?
Well, you know...
Oh, Pam! Where have you been?!
And, what was it?
Uh, uh... You know...
I've been thinking about it this whole time, but...
It'd be really nice if you lived here with us, Lycoris...
I mean, you'll be alone again after this mission is completed, right?
I'd be lonely if I had to part with you too, Lycoris,
so that's why I'm asking...
Stop that, Cleao. Miss Lycoris seems troubled.
I'm sorry about that.
Oh, no...
But the Royal Public Order of Knighthood is a curiosity, isn't it?
To scout someone like Orphen, you know.
When the person in question doesn't want it.
That's not so.
What's wrong, Lycoris?
That's not so!
It's an honor for a sorcerer to be chosen by the Royal Public Order of Knighthood!
They will be assured a glorious future!
Even Mr. Orphen...
Even Mr. Orphen should be happy!
Lycoris.
It's dinnertime, you know.
Oh, sorry. I'm not hungry right now.
I see...
You know, Majic...
I don't know much about magic, but humans, when they get serious,
it's strange, but courage gushes out from them.
It might be good to resign yourself to fate,
and bring the things that embarrass you out into the open...
Doing things like shouting in front of a lot of people really is okay...
Father?
"Things that embarrass me"?
Can't go on anymore... stomach's empty.
Big brother, I do remember seeing this scenery, after all...
Huh? Wuzzat?
You're in the way! Get outta the way, there!
I'll happily smile you to death by living in a cute, white house,
surrounded by family and a dog with kind eyes!
What's that?!
Krylancelo!
Majic! Oh?
Wait!
I... am...
the assassin who lives in the night!
I live contracting by night, hiding my face by day...
the embodiment of fear and evil! Of the House of Demonic Dreams!
The Black Tiger!
That can't be!
I'm so embarrassed! I'm embarrassed enough to die, Father!
Concentrate your mind upon the target.
Then the image...
Image...
Come out! Sword of Light!
Thank you, Father!
Oh no!
An impostor, how dare he!
That Majic!
You... are me?
I am...
Forget those painful memories.
This piano will erase all for you...
Myself is...
Myself is a soldier of the Royal Public Order of Knighthood, and...
myself's mission is to take Mr. Orphen to the Royal Public Order of Knighthood.
I am...
I don't have any family, and I've been all alone since I was born, and...
I am...
I am... I am!
Do you know a guy named McGregor?
You should know him...
After all, he's your dad, isn't he?
Oh Lycoris, your hair is curly as usual?
Something like that doesn't just get better all of a sudden!
Close your eyes for a minute, okay?
Here.
You've wanted this hair band for a while, right?
Treasure it, okay?
Yep!
Thank you, big sister...
Thank you...

Next Time
It's terrible, Orphen! Lycoris took all her belongings and left!
Hmm...
"Hmm," nothing! Can't you worry a little?
And it seems that Majic is secretly meeting Esperanza...
Hmm...
and Volcan and Dortin started up fortune telling, and-
WHAT?! Where?! Where are they doing it?!
You're interested in THAT...
Of course!
