He was suffering so.
I couldn't do anything for him.
Where did you go?
Hey, what the heck is a Chimera?
She becomes a hideous creature.
After she goes home, she transforms into a monster.
What? How do you know that?
I couldn't leave her alone, so I followed her.
Then there was a worn-out cottage. I peeked into the cottage.
Then what?
Then...
There it was! A hairy Chimera!
What are you going to do? Can you really do it?
I can. It's nothing.
Are you going to buy some flowers?
What? You can see, can't you?
No, I can't, but I can tell.
I can tell about you.
You are a good person, but you're a little timid, aren't you?
No, I'm not timid!
Then are you going to buy flowers?
I don't have any money to pay to a Chimera!
Oh, you did it! Good job!
Piece of cake.
Please pay me. Please pay for the flowers you've just thrown.
She's asking for money even though she's a Chimera!
You are a Chimera, so you don't need money, do you?
Aren't you cheeky?!
Yes, you are! There!
Cut it out!
What the hell are you doing?!
She is a Chimera!
Do you know about Chimera?
She can't be a Chimera.
I saw it! She becomes a Chimera after she goes home.
Anyway, stop teasing her.
If she was a real Chimera, you wouldn't still be alive now.
Got it?
Damn.
Got it.
Let's go.
Yeah, let's go.
What?
Hey, is it true that she is a Chimera?
I've heard that she can control Chimera.
Is she a Chimera Tamer?
Oops.
Do you need me for something? Or are you going to buy flowers?
No, I'm not interested in flowers.
Let's see. This is not much, but would you accept this?
What is it?
Money. It's money.
I don't have any intention of accepting money
from somebody that I don't know.
I didn't mean that.
Well, yes, that's it. I want to buy the pendant you are wearing.
Can you sell it to me?
Excuse me, but I don't have any change.
Don't worry about it.
But this is too much!
Don't worry about it. I really like your pendant.
Thank you very much.
Damn, what a pain in the butt!
What's the matter?
I keep telling her not to do business in front of this place,
but that girl is here again.
Why don't you leave her alone?
She sets a gloomy mood and customers don't come in!
Oh, all right.
Hey!
What's the matter? I thought you'd gone home.
I couldn't sell all the flowers.
I gave you money, didn't I?
No, that's not what I meant.
I feel sorry for these flowers.
I see.
I'll buy them all, so you can go home today...
Hey, young man, why don't you say that after you pay us first?
And you, who gave you approval to do business here?
Flame, burn everything away!
I can't use my flame.
Please spend the night here tonight.
I've heard a monster sometimes comes out at night in this area.
I'll make you some tea.
Thank you.
Why are you living here?
There was a war that started in the town where I used to live.
Then I was separated from my mom and dad.
I was injured back then, so...
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked you such a stupid question.
Please don't worry about it.
Now, there is a man who lives with a girl like me, so...
A man?
Sir!
I'm home.
This person saved me today.
Iris, I told you never, ever bring anybody here.
I'm sorry.
It's too late today, so stay here tonight.
I'm sorry, but can you help me to bring in some firewood?
Sure.
I'll go!
Don't worry. We don't intend to fight.
Okay.
My name is Demitas. I used to be a soldier,
but I was injured on the battlefield and lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I was in a tent.
The Nameless Crusade, wasn't it?
Yes, then I was transferred to a different facility,
and I had an operation.
A little while later, I realized I looked like this.
A monster acting like a father.
Isn't that ludicrous?
Are you a Chimera?
I still think I am a human being.
My senses and thoughts are the same as before.
Who is that girl?
Her name is Iris.
She fled to this area from the northern border as a refugee.
When I found her in the mountains, she was weak.
When you found her, she had already injured her eyes?
Yes, but because of that, she wasn't frightened of me.
I was saved by my encounter with that girl.
Now, it's my turn to save her. Until then, please leave us alone.
Fine. I don't want to get involved with unnecessary relationships.
I'm sorry.
What's wrong?
Thank you.
Sir, are you sick?
No, I'm fine.
You're sweating a lot!
I just had a nightmare.
I see.
Good night.
I guess my time is about to run out.
Sir...
If you let us handle all of these, it will be this much.
You're kidding me! That's about a quarter of the ordinary offer!
If you don't like these numbers, please go somewhere else.
This is my best offer, according to my appraisal.
You're taking advantage of me.
What do you want to do, Sir?
A Chimera!
You monster!
Good morning.
Breakfast will be ready soon.
No, thank you. You've looked after me more than enough.
Oh...
Thank you for everything. Take care.
Excuse me, but can I ask you something?
What? Is there something you want?
It's too bad I can't see you. Okay, take care.
Yeah. You too, Iris.
Hey, open up! Open up!
He was shot in the stomach and bled a lot.
I stopped the bleeding and gave him an anti-haste drug.
Anti-haste?
It's a medicine which suppresses the Chimera transformation.
It hasn't been announced yet, but there have been many reports
of the symptoms of people turning into Chimera all over the country.
It was probably the work of the Nameless Crusade.
How did you know that?
Anyway, since you know the story, I won't have to explain.
I know people who study the care of patients who have become Chimera.
It's possible for me to take him to such a place, if he wants.
I won't go. I can't leave Iris alone here.
Rather that that, please treat her eyes.
If I need to pay for her, please use these.
Then please use this too. This belonged to her originally.
It's only right to use this for her treatment.
That wasn't the reason I came here.
I'm going back to town to contact my group,
and tell them to recover a man who has severe symptoms
of the Chimera transformation, and a slightly wounded girl.
I wonder if my eyes will be healed?
Sure, if you go to a big hospital. I'm sure.
I can't believe I can go there with him.
I hope they'll come to pick us up soon.
Someone is coming.
Someone coming? The man we saw today?
No, not him. A lot more people are coming.
Don't be afraid! It's wounded.
Protect our village from the Chimera!
Burn it!
Iris!
Are you all right?
It's dangerous to go out the front. Run out the back!
Iris!
Where is Demitas?
Demitas!
What's wrong? What's happening to him?
Demitas!
Stay back!
Hurry up and run!
Looks like everything will be completely burned.
Shoot it down!
I didn't realize it at first,
but eventually, I started to understand.
If my eyes healed, he and I would have to separate.
Iris, don't say anything.
But I don't care now. If he's not with me, I don't care.
Iris!
Don't say anything.
Don't you want flowers? Please buy some.
Flowers! Please buy some flowers.
Oh, aren't those beautiful!
Can you sell them to me for this pendant? All the flowers here.
I don't know since when, but I've had lots of friends.
We sometimes fight, or laugh, or cry together.
We can think about something without saying all the details,
and even if we're apart, we feel as if we're together always.
I don't know since when, but I've lost lots of friends.
I've been losing them slowly, just like the wind at the riverside,
Slowly...
So we can do everything
And we can do the right thing
Aoi hana ga yurete ta
Gogatsu no ame ni sotto nurete yurete ita no
Mo inai nante, mo inai nante
Aenai nante iwanai de
Ai no subete uketomete ima o iki tai wa
Inorou shiawase o inorou shiawase o
Thanks a lot.
I did all sorts of things, and now, I'm trundling along.
But it's all right. I am alive.
