Is she the young maiden of the Heavenly Beings?!
Episode Number 22 Feelings, Passing Right By One Another
What? What do you mean? Heavenly Beings?
Weren't they extinct a long time ago?
Do you really think that child is a Heavenly Being?
Who knows, but this presents a bit of a problem...
You've done well coming this far for my sake.
I formally give you my thanks.
I'd like say it for you clearly now.
In case you haven't figured it out yet, it's no use scouting me.
Esperanza, Lycoris.
Yes.
That With Which I Slice!
Sword of Conquering Evil, that I do carry!
Mr. Orphen!
You!
Get out of the way!
What are you guys thinking?!
Kidnapping innocent sorcerers, and changing your sister's memories?!
I definitely won't allow it!
Go Through!
You... do you like Lycoris?
What's that supposed to mean? Of course I like her!
Then hand that sorcerer over to us.
You think I can decide that sort of thing?!
It is okay if Lycoris dies?
You said it before, didn't you? That she's like your real sister.
So it's okay with you if your younger sister dies?
Of course that's not okay!
Exactly. I feel the same as you.
I want to save my younger sister.
I want to save my younger sister's life.
But there's only one way to do that. And so-
Not a chance! I won't hand Orphen over!
So you're leaving Lycoris to die then?
I won't let that happen!
Then how?
I won't allow it!
What, then?
Shut up! I won't hand Orphen over.
And I'll save Lycoris too!
Cleao...
How?
There's no other way, you know.
Other than breaking the seal on these ruins and borrowing Elkarena's strength!
And because of that... there's no more time.
Don't get in my way.
Big sister!
You stay back, Lycoris!
Big sister, please stop!
Stay back. Or else, your friend...
Big sister...
Lycoris, stay away. I'm fine, so...
But...
Leki, you too.
Cleao...
It's all right. I'm sure Orphen will do something to save us.
Besides, you said your big sister was a kind person, didn't you?
Go Through!
Armor of Halos, that I do spin!
Blow Away!
You can't stab me.
You were watching over Lycoris the whole time, weren't you?
If so, you know how much Lycoris will anguish if I'm hurt!
I can do it.
I don't mind dirtying my hands with blood for that child's sake.
I would do anything for her sake.
You can't.
You are still able to get up.
Impressive.
How can you say something like that?
Because you saved the little bird.
And what about that?
You're that bird!
You're separated and lonely, but the only thing you can do is watch from afar. That's why...
I will not kill you yet, but it will not do for you to struggle.
That's why you saved it!
That bird, it was all alone, and you couldn't bear to look at it!
Someone like that could never stab me!
So if you think you can do it, just go ahead and try!
Stop it!
Stop it already! Father! Big sister, you too!
Lycoris!
I'm sorry, Cleao. I should've done this from the start.
When my memories returned, if I had done this immediately...
Lycoris, what are you saying?!
Don't come any closer!
It's all right.
If Father and big sister are going to continue something like this for my sake, then I...
Stop that, Lycoris!
Then I've got to make it end already.
Please... stop...
Lycoris... what... are you saying?
What are you saying? Lycoris... what... are you saying?
You can't!
Lycoris...
You can't, Lycoris! Lycoris...
You can't, Lycoris!
No! Lycoris!
Cleao, you were so very kind to me. Thank you.
Goodbye...
Lycoris, you can't!
Lycoris!
You idiot! Lycoris!
Lycoris!
STOP!
Leki!
I don't want to...
Big... sister...
Not again... I don't want to again... not again, not ever again...
You... you dying... and I not being able to do anything...
In front of my eyes... you dying...
I'd be all alone... if you left...
Don't leave me and go... please... please don't! I beg of you, Lycoris.
But! But!
Leki, thank you.
And thank you too.
Oh no, it's just my job as your partner.
What about McGregor?
Yeah, it looks like it took its toll on him a little, but...
I... I must do it. For my daughter's sake!
It seems he still won't open his eyes.
I'm leaving them to you!
What?
Those two, I can entrust them to you, right?
Of course!
Let's go, Leki!
Now... You still want to go at it?
Of course. Nothing can substitute for my daughter's life.
I found you, Krylancelo!
Flame Soul!
Seriously! You're an energetic bastard, aren't you?!
Hurry up and die now, eh? Krylancelo!
What is this place?
Let's go!
Where is it?! Where is it?! Where is the buried treasure?!
Let's go home already, big brother!
Shut up! If we go home empty handed, the Battle Hound of Mazmaturia,
Lord Volcan Polkano's name will die out!
If you dilly dally, I'll buy you out to death with cans on an early morning special sale day!
Huh?
What is it? Is it treasure?
What is that?
Don't! Nothing will come of killing him!
Soon, Mama, big brother. Soon I'll take revenge for you, okay?
Oh, Mama, the power... is swelling up inside me! With this...
With this I can blast him to shreds!
What's that?!
That's the fate of those who use the Core.
That Core sucks in the life of living things.
Sorcerers, especially strong ones, even more so.
Normal people don't change so radically, but eventually...
But that's...
Wow, they're pretty, aren't they, big brother?
I wondered what it was, and it's worthless!
But, big brother, it's hard to grow flowers in a place like this-
Aw, shut up!
As if I'd need something like that, that wouldn't even make a penny!
I want buried treasure! Buried treasure!
Die, Krylancleo!
You're not even human anymore?!
Cleao!
Lycoris! Esperanza!
Leki... Oh, Lycoris!
It's all right.
She just lost consciousness.
It's because of that child of the Deep Dragon, isn't it?
Thank you.
Miss Esperanza...
You know, Lycoris loves these flowers.
Locus of Light's Blade, that I do illustrate!
Starling of Death, that I do lead!
How about that?!
Did you do something, Krylancelo?
When Lycoris was dying, I couldn't do anything.
I couldn't even grant this child's final wish... I could only watch.
I... lost consciousness soon after that.
But, you know,
when I awoke, she was alive.
This child, she was sleeping comfortably.
She wasn't dead.
It's good that you're both well now, isn't it?
Elkarena?
But it must be hard for your Father too.
After all, something horrible will happen if he breaks his promise.
Promise?
Yep! Promises have to be kept!
If not, next time she'll become a monster after I revive her again!
What is the meaning of this, Father?
What is Elkarena saying?
Wasn't Lycoris saved?!
Please answer! Father!
There was no other way to save her.
Other than borrowing the strength of this.
Then, Lycoris is...
It is no more than that she has been granted a borrowed life.
That child needs your strength!
Lycoris!
But why, why did you mess with Lycoris's memories?
If you did something like that, she'd surely suffer-
I knew, but I had no other choice.
Don't come any closer!
Please stop, Lycoris!
It's okay, just come over here.
No! I don't want to live if someone else must be sacrificed!
Lycoris!
Such a thing! I definitely don't want to!
Lycoris!
What are you doing, Uncle?
Just when she got well!
She'll die again, you know!
Lycoris! Lycoris!
She's all right.
We'd be in trouble if she did something like this again, right?
That's why I had her forget everything!
That's why I planted totally different memories.
The memories of someone that died here last time.
What kind of selfish...
But it's better that way, right?
You'd better hurry, Uncle!
I didn't want to lose anyone anymore.
It was enough when Mother died.
To protect Lycoris, I threw away my feelings.
To protect Lycoris, I killed my own soul.
That's why I can do anything, if it's to protect this child!
Big sister?
Let's stop this already. I don't like that kind of big sister.
The big sister I loved had a bit of a mean side,
but she was always laughing, and her smiling face was kind and...
It's for you, Lycoris.
Then, is it my fault?
Hurry up and die already!
Sword of Light-
Break!
Look out!
See? It's just as Mama said! I'm number one, after all!
Don't, Flame Soul! That's enough!
Mama was definitely right!
I'm going to crush him right now,
so that Mama and big brother, both of them will be happy!
Go fly! Starling!
What?!
Here we go!
Yes!
All of you will die together!
Come out! Sword of Light!
O Thunder!
Like that would work!
O Light!
Krylancelo!
Sword of Light, whom I do release!
Master!
Saved by you guys? I'm already-
Wha... what is this?!
McGregor?!
Elkarena?!
What's this light?
The fourth seal will dissolve!
What?! Then, Orphen!
H... h... h... help me! Big brother! Help me! Help me!
That person was strong, so I took him!
With this, there's only one more!
Uncle or big brother, which one will it be?
You!
McGregor!
It's Uncle!
McGregor!
Stay back!
This is all.
This is all that I can do!
Father!
Orphen, are you all right?!
Mr. Orphen!
Why? Father, you said,
"Everyone, we'll live together again, the three of us."
But if you do this, your words have no meaning!
You sure are noisy. It's all right, just hurry up and come here, Uncle!
Stop!
If you want a sorcerer, then I shall ready you one again. So...
I don't want that. I'm tired of waiting!
Elkarena!
Uncle! I told you I didn't want to make this person live again!
Elkarena!
Right now... What did you say?
I said I made you live again!
Big... sister...
Then...
Uncle! This makes me angry!
BIG SISTER!
This is not what you promised!
You said you could resurrect Esperanza with the power of the Heavenly Beings!
I'm sorry! That was a lie.
Did you really think something like that would exist?
Perennial life magics?
Big sister! No!
This can't be happening, big sister!
Big sister! Big sister...
I'm glad... that it wasn't you, Lycoris... I'm truly... glad...
Big... sister...
I'm sorry... Lycoris...
I only made you cry all the time...
It's only natural for you to hate me, isn't it?
What a worthless big sister...
I don't hate you... and you weren't worthless...
You can't go... so... so please! Big sister!
Oh Lycoris, your hair is curly as usual?
This... I have to give it back...
Treasure... it...
Big sister...
I... this... I love it, you know...
Is that so... thank you, Lycoris.
Lycoris! Big sister!
Big... big sister! NO!
Lycoris, sorry I couldn't go back to the flower garden with you...
Big sister!
Hey, Uncle! Hurry! Hurry!
If you won't come, then we'll come to you!
You gotta be kidding!
What? Don't get in my way!
McGregor!
I knew a sorcerer a lot like you.
He put his hands out to forbidden magics to try to regain the one he loved.
He was a stupid man, you know.
Master...
But you know, sorcerers are only human, and that guy knew it too.
They aren't omnipotent.
Even the Heavenly Beings are the same.
If they were omnipotent, then why did they fall?
You, what are you?
So you finally figured it out?
It troubles me when you say, "what are you," but you're right.
What the Heavenly Beings that trapped me in here called me was...
"Sorcerous beast."
Sorcerous beast?!
That's right! "Sorcerous Beast Elkarena."
I don't want to be stuck in a place like this anymore.
I want to hurry up and go outside and play!
After all, there are a lot of people on the outside, right?
That's why I want to go play, by killing them all! It'll be fun!
You! Just what do you think a person's life is, exactly?
I don't care if you're a sorcerous beast or whatever,
but I'm gonna give you the punishment of your life!
Get ready!

Next Time
Living is a constant repetition of choices.
You have to choose your paths one after the other.
You don't know what's going to happen in the future.
You don't even know if you're choosing the right path.
All you know is that your life is something you must carry yourself.
That's why I decided to live true to myself.
