=Track 1 - Legend=
BGM: First part of Revolving Hearts ~ Connected Times
Narrator:
A world protected by the great songs
Which in two occasions, turned against its people.
The first time, the land and sky were lost.
And the second time, the people themselves made their own bustling civilization disappear.
The civilization which once was the most prosperous in this land...
It was God's Judgement?
Or maybe a disaster conducted by the Devil?
One world where destruction and creation repeat themselves endlessly,
where a few towers support all the life,
since its form changed to a floating continent.
This is that world, and its name is... Sol Ciel
(Hymme an yor!!)
Narrator:
The survivors tied their entire fates to the non-decaying towers
as they continued clinging to them for their lives.
Elevating to the heavens, sturdily, they continued going through the sadness of the ages.
Now, we greet this world while describing a certain, and very recent, era of confusion of it...
What happened that this world avoided its third destruction and end?
That Lyner and his various and inseparable companions, all understood that their role was to avoid that disaster.
This time, when we come again to this world, the true song of peace has enshrouded it
and so..
By a very narrow margin, the quick ending of its years was blocked...
BGM: second part of Revolving Hearts ~ Connected Times
Lyner:
Aaahhh...
I'm soo tired...
At last I could come to Nemo again...
But I had to choose the most difficult way to come...
I... I wonder if I'll be able to take a little break and sit in front of a fan, or take a bath...
Oh, that's right... Since at last I got to come here,
Maybe I should go and drop by Miss Claire's bar for a while..
=Track 2 - Reunion:=
Lyner:
Hi!
Claire:
Ah, Sir, excuse me. We're still full at the moment.
Ah, it's Lyner! Long time no see! What are you doing around here?
Lyner:
Hehehe... Since I came to do some work near here,
I wondered "How could I go without going to see Ms. Claire's face once again"?
Claire:
Seems like you're the same as always, huh?
Ah... come in, don't just stand in there. I'll bring you something to drink now.
Lyner:
Okay... thanks.
BGM: A Peaceful Song
Claire:
It really has been a long time, Lyner... have you been well?
Lyner:
Of course! Of course, Ms. Claire!
There were other things I wanted to talk about, but now I thought about other one.
In the times I came here I both encouraged, and made you angry, Ms. Claire.
Claire:
Hehe... yes, it was like that.
Lyner:
And I was healed by your songs, too.
That made me think all this time
about what kind of thing the power of the songs could be.
Claire:
I remember telling you it was the what made flowers bloom and such things, didn't I?
Lyner:
Hehe, you're right.
But, I really want to hear again your songs, Ms. Claire.
Claire:
Huh?
Lyner:
Sing, please. I someday wanted you to sing me again the really beautiful, and kind song you sang back then.
Claire:
It's not I don't want to sing for you, but right now, the strings of my lute are snapped.
Ah, right Lyner. At that time, you made me the favor of bringing me new strings, right?
Could you please make these strings for my lute again?
Lyner:
What? It's pretty easy for me to do that!
Okay, I'll go at once to search for the ingredients for them.
Claire:
I'm so glad...
Lyner:
(Huh? The eyes that Ms. Claire has while looking at the lute... are so mysterious...)
(They seem so happy, but so sorrowful...)
(I've never seen her... with a face... like this)
Err, Ms. Claire?
Claire:
Huh?
Lyner:
Well, it's just that you're looking in such an intense way at the lute, that it seems very important to you.
Does it hold any precious memories?
Claire:
Yes, it does. Even my own existence, as you see me now, is thanks to this lute.
No, it'd be better to say that it's because I met the true owner of this lute.
Lyner:
The true owner?
Claire:
Yes.
Since it's to you, I think it'll be all right to tell you this.
When I still lived as one of Tenba's Reyvateils. When I still didn't know what was to truly sing from the bottom of my heart...
About what happened at that time...
=Track 3 - Journey=
Claire:
Yes, that was around ten years ago...
I was only 14 years old at the time.
Because I was a Class-B Reyvateil, I had skills for which Tenba paid me a very high salary.
Among all the Reyvateil the commander had at his orders, I was said to be the best one.
I can do this now, but back then we were forbidden from talking about a certain classified matter.
That was a research for developing the next generation of Reyvateils.
For which Tenba ordered us to take back to the HQ anyone that they put on a certain list.
So I had to...
BGM: Meld
Young Claire:
Wait! Please, don't run away!
Woman:
Huh!? And why, if I don't want to go there!?
I haven't done anything, so I don't have anything to do in there!
Young Claire:
If you're going to annoy me so much, then I'll have to restrain you...
Woman:
And a child like you can do what?
BGM: EXEC_HYMME_CLOSSPHERE/.
Hymmnos!? A Reyvateil!?
Woman:
I can't... move my body...
Young Claire:
Excuse me...
Now, I'll take you to Tenba.
It's okay. Now, we can make the trip back easier or...
Claire:
I did everything to accomplish my missions,
and among these actions, I made many things I'm not proud about.
But I never dwelt too much on it.
That was my job, after all.
And one by one, I went and brought each one of these people back to Tenba.
Each one of them making me colder and harsher...
And so, in a certain day...
Crew:
Claire!
Young Claire:
Commander Crew.
Crew:
Seems like you did an splendid job bringing yet other one here, huh?
Well done.
You truly are an heroic Reyvateil. Hehehe...
Young Claire:
Thank you very much. Well then...
Crew:
Wait a moment.
Hehe. I'm sorry I have to send you away so soon after returning, but there
is a new mission I want you to take up. Basically, I thought it would be good to invite some guests over.
Claire, although you might not know because of how busy you were, do you
know about a certain traveling, masked music troupe?
BGM: Wriggling Premonition
Young Claire:
A masked music troupe?
Crew:
Yes. That music troupe is called [Euphrosyne], and after sometime, I suddenly
came with the idea of calling them over for a brief interview. They are
a group that likes to keep a low profile.
They travel all over Sol Ciel, and it's said that they can quench the thirst
of the people's hearts with the songs they play.
That music troupe has become quite famous recently.
What I want you to do is to go and search for that masked music troupe, Euphrosyne.
Young Claire:
The masked music troupe?
Crew:
Yes, of course. Their fame is splendid, and the other day I was thinking
to invite them over to Tenba. That way, we could convince them to be their
mediators for the wonderful songs they sing for the people. Would you go
then, Claire?
Young Claire:
Okay, I'll do it. Now, if you excuse me...
Claire:
Thus, without even knowing where I could start searching, I began my mission of finding
the traveling, masked music troupe of Euphrosyne, by traveling all over
Sol Ciel and asking the people I met in the way.
=Track 4 - Encounter=
Claire:
And from time on, I traveled during many days and nights, until I reached a certain town.
Somehow, I had gotten an information about a masked music troupe or something appearing in it.
Girl:
Welcome!
Welcome! What can I do for you?
Young Claire:
Bring anything I can eat and drink.
Girl:
Okay then, I'll bring you a Dokkoi Set.
A Dokkoi Set coming!!
Young Claire (thoughts):
*sigh* According to that bit of information... Euphrosyne or something else should show up at this town, but...
Well, okay, but to think that this mission is all about giving an invitation to make them sing for the people.
Man (Background)
Sorry!
Young Claire (Thoughts):
Even accomplishing these missions so easily seems so shallow...
Just like now...
Most likely, I'll have to continue doing the unreasonable for who knows how long more.
And I'll surely have to sing my songs to attack many other people.
And even if I say these things, I'm a little tired from this lifestyle.
Drunk Man:
Hee...
Hey!
You're saaa beautiful, youn' gill!
hehehe!
Yo' haf so baatiful feet!
Won't ya show me ya face?
Come and drink all night with me!
Young Claire:
I'm tired. Leave me alone.
Drunk Man:
No.. let me give a look at ya beautiful body!
Young Claire (Thoughts):
Seems like I always attract weirdos, huh? How pitiful...
Drunk Man:
Ah, girl! Girl!
Hey, giiirl!
Hey, are ya listening to me, girl!?
Young Claire:
Just leave me alone already!
Claire:
I had already gotten tired of telling that man to be quiet. I was so enraged
at that drunkard, that I was ready to sing one of my songs at him.
Of course, I really didn't attack him. I decided to simply put him to sleep
for a little while. So I simply crafted a Song Magic for doing so, and in that
moment...
BGM: Moonlight Nocturne ~Cradle~
Claire:
I heard it from outside the inn. Both a beautiful melody, and calming singing voice.
And that didn't apply just to me: as far as I could see, it exerted an influence
over everyone in the establishment, since that song seemed to calm, heal, and unite their hearts.
And then, various young men entered the inn, and I couldn't avoid looking at them.
All of the men that had come in were wearing masks, and were holding musical
instruments in their hands. And that singing voice...
I firmly believed then that them... all of them, were the members of Euphrosyne, the music troupe I was searching for.
And among them, one had come and said something to the drunkard a while ago, and he went away to somewhere.
This member in particular was a young man that was holding a lute, wore a white mask, and had a golden hair falling in waves around his face.
He quietly sat at my side, and spoke to me.
Dian:
Are you all right?
I thought this man was trying to do something bad to you.
Please, be careful. All right?
Background:
Yes! Please, sit down anywhere!
Young Claire:
Thank you.
Background:
Hello, everyone!
Dian:
However, no matter how evil your opponent might be, you must never use your songs to harm them, understood?
Background:
Let us spend a great night together!
Young Claire:
Huh? Are you...?
Dian:
I'm the leader of Music Troupe Euphrosyne. My name is Dian.
But I'm better known as the Singing Knight Dian.
Young Claire:
Ah!
Dian:
And you can see the other Musical Knights, my companions, sitting down in there.
They are the Strings Knight, Rafile, the Percussion Knight, Lorzer, and our Storyteller, Aigil.
Young Claire:
E-ehh...
Dian:
Hahaha!
Are your surprised?
Since we can use the power of songs, just as you can, you wouldn't happen to think we are going to harm you, right?
Claire:
They were a pretty mysterious group of people.
Furthermore, he even recognized I was a Reyvateil, but his unexpected kindness and his gentle smile really calmed me down at that moment.
And then, I remembered my mission.
Young Claire:
Are you all the Euphrosyne Music Troupe?
Dian:
Indeed.
Young Claire:
My name is Claire. I was dispatched by Tenba to find your group. I think
the voices of our hearts were telling us to meet in this place.
Dian:
Tenba?
Were they looking for us?
Young Claire:
Yes.
Tenba has received news of your songs and how you all sing them for the
people. So we need your music and songs to heal the hearts of the people.
Music Troupe Euphrosyne, you are all cordially invited to our headquarters
as our honorable guests.
Would you please accept our humble invitation?
Claire:
I may have said that calmly, but actually, my heart was shaking in anxiety
inside my chest with these thoughts.
"Maybe I'd have to restrain them, and against their will, bring them back to
the HQ again to accomplish my mission...
I don't want to continue doing horrible actions like these. Please, really,
please, don't make me sing against them." I think that was the time in which
my heart was beating the loudest.
Dian:
If they really need our musicians, then we will be pleased to comply with your requests. Haha!
We will go to wherever you tell us!
Claire:
Because of Singing Knight Dian, a large cluster of feelings that I had kept
in my heart melted away, and I was able of embracing it.
I might have started as just one small feeling, but it was clear what it gave to my heart.
It was okay, not matter how absurd it was, because it was something natural.
A feeling I hadn't felt since I left my hometown after its destruction.
And thus, I departed alongside Euphrosyne in a travel to return to the main Tenba HQ.
=Track 5 - Calm=
Claire:
And so, during a certain day...
Young Claire:
Even the sun has sunk down, huh?
It's pretty late now, so we should set up camp and rest for today.
Dian:
You're right. Aigil, stop the carriage! We will be camping around here for tonight!
Aigil:
Roger, Dian!
Aigil:
And in my hand, it was alive! I had already thought it, but at that time,
when I held it, man, it was such a ridiculously large bird, like this large!
Dian:
Hehe... it was truly so large?
Aigil:
Nah, it was more like this.
Dian:
Aigil is always the large one here.
Aigil:
Hey, even I was a kid once. But alright now, listen to me.
Hey, hey, Rafile, you mustn't lean so much to the east.
Rafile:
Leave me alone!
Aigil:
Okay? Just like when I...
Huh...?
Lorzer:
What is it?
Aigil:
Lorzer! Lorzer, where you were!?
Lorzer:
Just behind you.
Aigil:
Ahh! Why, you...! You scared me to death!
Young Claire (thoughts):
I never had been in such a gentle atmosphere.
I wish that things could stay like this forever.
Lorzer:
Well, time to eat our mystery stew, until our stomachs burst!
Aigil:
Yeah, yeah! I'll be taking your word on this!
Hey, don't talk like this!
All:
Hahaha!
Dian:
What!?
BGM: In the Nick of Time
Young Claire:
What is a monster doing in a place like this!?
Everyone, run! It's dangerous!
Dian:
Wait, Claire.
Young Claire:
Dian!
What are you doing!?
BGM: Cello's Light ~Calm~
Young Claire:
The monster... calmed down...
Dian:
This isn't the place where you should be.
Go back to your rightful place now.
Claire:
Until that moment, I had thought of monsters as things that should be annihilated with Song Magic.
But with that song, Dian managed to calm down the monster. I'm not sure if I realized that or not at the moment, but it left me in shock.
That was something I didn't know, I never had seen, and never thought of before...
To me, who lived so much time following Tenba's orders, that was something I should have known.
Maybe, did I live all my life without knowing something important?
Maybe I had lived overlooking something of great importance?
These feelings then slowly, steadily, began to seep into my heart.
Dian:
Claire?
What is it?
Are you feeling all right?
Young Claire:
Ah, no, nothing.
It's nothing.
Dian:
I see. Then, all right.
Well, come closer to the bonfire.
The destination of our journey is still pretty far away.
If you collapsed, we wouldn't know the place where we should head to.
Aigil:
I agree, and most likely, we'd end up all lost.
Young Claire:
Huh?
Ahahaha!
What was that!?
That's how a traveling music troupe travels!?
Hahaha!
Dian:
Yes.
If you collapsed or something, it would cause us great concern.
Okay, let us all give ourselves some rest.
Claire:
I was ready to go and destroy the monster, but although I ended doing nothing
against it, the members of Euphrosyne all still kept smiling at me.
I felt that these smiles were making me feel something warm in my heart.
And so, we continued our journey, and every time a monster appeared
again, Euphrosyne played their melodies and sung their songs, making all
the monsters retreat peacefully.
Calm down the hearts with a song. It was a wonderful sight I had never seen
or heard before. For some reason, I began having the feeling that I should do the same.
And I ended wishing the most that someday, Dian would allow me to fall sleep to one of his lullabies.
That was the very first time I completely gave my heart to someone else...
=Track 6 - Breath=
Claire:
The end of our journey came closer and closer, and when we knew that we'd
be arriving at the HQ the next morning, our last night of traveling came.
Young Claire:
It's such a mysterious melody.
Dian:
Ah, Claire.
We have a nice weather tonight, no?
Young Claire:
And what's that instrument?
It isn't the same lute you always have.
Dian:
Oh, you mean this one?
It's one that Rafile made just for fun while we were traveling.
I just borrowed it for a little while.
And don't just keep standing here.
Won't you come and sit down here?
Young Claire:
Thank you.
Somehow, that song feels so painful.
Does it have anything in special?
Dian:
This song is a requiem for guiding all the souls that continue roaming over
the land, sad, angry and regretful, back to their eternal dream.
It's called "yasra dius manaf".
Which means: "Rest in peace, precious life".
When the moonlight descends, just like tonight, I offer this song to the
land, so they might rest in peace.
Young Claire:
Heeh, Dian....
Your songs are so mysterious...
I can't explain it very well, but I feel that they make me relax greatly.
And honestly, I think they could even resound very deep in me, even down to my heart.
Dian:
Is that the case?
Thank you.
It makes me very happy if even just one person among the many I sing to becomes happy with my songs.
If someone searches for my songs, I will be glad to sing for their happiness.
Claire, and you can sing as well, right?
For whose's sake do you sing?
And why do you sing for?
Why do you think you want to sing?
Young Claire:
Songs?
Who I sing for?
That I want to sing?
Claire:
Dian's words caused a great commotion within my heart.
To sing for someone else?
I had never thought about something like that.
I thought it was my destiny to sing since I was born, because I was a Reyvateil.
If I didn't do it, I wouldn't live.
But besides that, I didn't really want to sing at all.
All I knew about the songs, and I thought about them, was that they were
tools to be used to fight against my enemies.
Dian:
Claire?
BGM: Elegy
Young Claire:
I... only sing for my own sake...
That's the only reason why I've ever sung...
I just sing because my commander tells me to, because I thought that all my life was made just to fight!
I've never even thought about anyone else...
But if we Reyvateils don't live like that, we can't even live at all.
Why are you supporting me with such a smile?
Why I had to have these warm feelings just from listening to you?
Because you aren't a Reyvateil or what!?
Dian:
No, it isn't that.
Claire, do you regret the way in which you have sung up to this moment?
Young Claire:
No, I haven't regretted it at all!!
Until I met all of you, and heard all these things you said, I didn't care
at all if my songs hurt anyone else!!
Why I have to feel so much pain?
Why I'm feeling so lonely now?
Why?
Why this happened to me?
Why this happened to me!?
Dian:
Do you wish to know?
Come, and please try to be completely honest with yourself.
Young Claire:
Because I want to sing happy songs.
I want to bring happiness to everyone with my songs.
And I want to sing with an smile in my face!!
Dian:
Then, you have already given form to the song you truly wish to sing.
That is the true form you have now.
Young Claire:
Huh?
Dian:
I don't intend to sing the locus that your live should follow, but now a new road
has opened before you, as you've learned about a world that used to be unknown to
you.
Am I wrong?
Young Claire:
A new road?
Dian:
The road in which you sing for the happiness of everyone, in which you sing
to make everyone happy.
The road in which you sing by your own will, and with your own strength.
Claire:
Dian then came close to me, and smiled to me gently.
But to me, that meant I'd have to leave Tenba for good.
And for Reyvateils like myself, do you know what it implies leaving Tenba?
Yes, it has a very dreadful meaning.
Among the many things that Tenba gives us in exchange for working for them,
there is the precious life extending agent that allows us to live: the Diquility.
Without it, we'd die after just a few months.
It really is a sad life for us all.
And if I didn't follow the orders of the commander, it'd make extremely
harder for me to receive another Diquility crystal.
I couldn't allow myself to be reduced to something like a low-class Reyvateil.
And while I was pondering that, I came to a completely different conclusion.
I was only lying to myself, and I'd be far more satisfied being free than
being a puppet for the higher-ups of Tenba.
That was the very last thing I thought then.
However, I also noticed that the things about I always sung and felt where
only about pain and fighting, and I didn't truly want to continue singing
with these feelings, because it'd only bring more pain to me.
Young Claire:
Dian... I... I...
Dian:
It's all right, it's all right.
The songs will never betray you.
Like the two moons that shine over us in the sky, always enshrouding us
with their gentle shine, the songs too will always enshroud us with their
warm feelings.
BGM: Lullaby of the Breeze
=Track 7 - Decision=
Claire:
And the next day, both Euphrosyne and me finally arrived at the main gate
of the Tenba HQ, while a sole decision embraced my heart.
Young Claire:
Excuse me.
I have brought the Euphrosyne Music Troupe to Commander Crew.
Crew:
Come in.
Well, well, it's a pleasure to welcome you here.
Dian:
We received your invitation, and we are glad to accept it.
Crew:
I shall treat you as our most esteemed guests.
Please, come in and relax for a while.
I am sorry to leave you after the long travel you had to make, but could
you all wait here for a little while?
Young Claire:
Err, Commander, I wish to talk with you for...
Crew:
Ah, Claire. Could you please come with me?
I have something to discuss with you...
Young Claire:
Oh, all right.
Commander Crew, where are we going...?
Crew:
Fufu...
Oh, please follow me.
Claire:
After we left Euphrosyne, Crew and me went through some cramped halls, and
we began going deeper and deeper into the HQ...
And after a hall that looked like it was eternally in darkness, we arrived at an steel door...
It was the first time I went to that place, and it really scared me...
Young Claire:
Where are...?
Crew:
Come, go in.
Young Claire:
*gasps*
W-what... is this supposed to be...?
BGM: Imperatrix
Crew:
Fufu...
Welcome to my secret laboratory, Claire!
Ah, doesn't this scenery look wonderful!?
Claire:
The place that unfolded before my eyes had the appearance of an enormous
refuge, with Lost Technology artifacts scattered all over the place.
And the most strange of all these were a great number of capsules, each containing
some things that looked like faces with twitching closed eyes.
I had never seen something as dreadful like that, and I suddenly stopped breathing at that view.
Young Claire:
*gasps* What... what is all this?
Claire:
When I looked at the many twitching eyes more closely, I noticed that inside
of these capsules, there actually were people, which I couldn't even distinguish
if they were alive or dead.
And furthermore, these were the people I had brought to the HQ during my time in duty.
I couldn't help but feel dizzy once I realized that.
And while I was still dumbfounded, I noticed that the man was looking at
the largest and lowermost capsule as if it contained something he loved.
Inside, it seemed as if the person contained within was enshrouded by the darkness itself.
Crew:
How do you like her? Among the things I have collected, this beautiful girl
is what seems the most like a daughter to me.
Ah, isn't she cute?
Young Claire:
Daughter? Do you mean that she is alive!?
Crew:
Oh? Fufu... Isn't it good, Claire?
Are you jealous?
But yes, she is! This is a Pureblooded Beta-type Reyvateil, which will be
brought back to life by Tenba's hands!
Under the orders of Lord Bourd, I had to seek a method to release an ancient
Pureblooded Beta that was sealed away by a person called Shurelia or something.
And while I was searching for that method within the Tower, I found some important
documents about the Lost Technologies!
I was astonished when I opened these books, describing things I never had even imagined!
The ancients even went as far as trying to create a new generation of Pureblooded
Betas, but even after many experiments, they didn't have any success!
And only four names remained written in these books, as a record from that project...
Mayfeel...
Mir...
Midir..
Ar Meduel...
At the moment, I don't have a concrete way of knowing who of these four
ones she is, but I had the feeling that I could learn more if I could find
more of these documents that were lying somewhere in the Tower!
Fufufu...
I'm so keen! Do you know what this means, Claire!?
And after I found about these four names, I managed to learn something as
a result from my investigations!
The ancients had already created one of these Neo Pureblooded Betas!
And I finally could find one of them!
To you, my Pureblooded Beta daughter, who I found inside one excavation
site in a wharf, I give the name Midir!!
Ah, who is my little cute Midir?
Young Claire:
Unbelievable...
And more importantly, what is it with these people!?
All of the people in here, aren't they the ones that Tenba ordered you to bring here?
The ones I had to bring here!?
What does this mean?
Crew:
Oh, you mean all the trash I've finished using?
Young Claire:
Wha...
Crew:
Fufu... Have you ever heard the term "Moon Chanter"?
Claire:
Moon Chanters... they are a group of people that supposedly existed long ago,
and have become legends in the current times.
Crew:
It was said that they could cause many kinds of miracles by singing with
their own power, from the depths of their hearts and resounding with the land.
They were humans, but they were somehwat similar to the Reyvateils and
existed from long before the Reyvateils first appeared over this planet.
They indeed existed, since their abilities of being able to resonate with
the earth was the basis for the ability of directly connecting with the
Tower that you Reyvateils have.
Young Claire:
And... what does that mean exactly?
Crew:
Well, let me finish first.
If I can finish the work of the ancients by creating a Neo Pureblooded Beta
and then combine it with the underside of our civilization, the power of
resounding with the land of the Moon Chanters, I'll be able to make the ultimate Reyvateil!
And so I thought that if I gather all the Moon Chanters who still exist and
make them all sing together, I'd be able to release enough power from them
to establish a connection with Midir, and transfer all of it to her!
By using the technology of the ancients, and the flowing voice of the Moon Chanters...
I'll be able to make Midir a perfect being!
Claire:
Crew had a demented look on his face, and then turned to look at me.
Crew:
Once she is complete, I'll have a Reyvateil who will work without Diquility for about 150 years!
In this way, you Reyvateils will be able to relax without any problem!
Young Claire:
And just for that, you had to gather and imprison innocent people here!?
Crew:
What are you saying, Claire!?
Because of them, we will be able to make a better future for everyone!
And more importantly, we still haven't gathered all the Moon Chanters we need.
Obviously, because the abilities of these ones are pretty weak.
And furthermore, the ones you see here are those for who I don't have any use anymore.
You are an heroic Reyvateil for having brought so many humans all by yourself!
It's thanks to you that my research has progressed to this point!
It isn't wonderful!?
Don't you see that your destiny is to walk alongside me?
Your miracles will be praised. You'll be given anything you wish for!
Hahahahaa!
Once this research is complete, we will be heroes!!
What, don't you want the glory!?
Come, I don't care if you're tired. I want you to go and bring more of them!
Do you understand!? Just a little more! Just a little more and we will have finished!!
Claire:
My situation at the time was that a demented man, ecstatic about a
black doll, was standing just in front of me.
I began getting angry because all the atrocities he had committed against others.
But from the encounter I had with Dian and the others, I had decided that
I'd never use again my songs to hurt others.
I had sworn I was going to leave Tenba and my life as a Reyvateil altogether
as soon as I had returned to the HQ.
Now I was being told I had to continue using my powers to continue committing
crimes, as I had done until that moment?
And more importantly, this man...
Had already pushed my patience to the limit.
Young Claire:
What!?
How can you be so disgusting!?
How can you be so insane!?
Crew:
Ah...
Yes. And among the Moon Chanters you brought this time, there was one that
had pretty exceptional abilities, correct?
He was called the Singing Knight Dian, or something, no?
Young Claire:
What did you say!?
Crew:
He is a pretty good specimen. Ah, I have to thank you, Claire.
I see now. What do you say if I give you an special reward once you have finished
this job?
Hahahahahah!!
Young Claire:
You, you are going to... everyone from Euphrosyne...
even Dian...
Are you going to add them all to your sick collection too!?
You'll pay for this...
Aigil:
Dian! Over there!!
Young Claire:
For making me sing for something as low as this...
I'll never forgive you!!
BGM: EXEC_HYMME_PLUTONIUS/.
Young Claire:
You'll pay...
For what you did to Dian, and to all these innocent Moon Chanters!!
Dian:
Claire! No!!
Crew:
Bastards!! How did you come here!?
What were these incompetents doing!?
Lorzer:
Forget about them! All of your men were put to sleep by our songs.
Aigil:
Go, Dian!
You can still save her.
We will take care of everything behind the door.
Dian:
Aigil... okay, and sorry!
Everyone, I'll leave the rest to you!!
Dian:
Claire! Don't do it!
Remember the conversation we had! You mustn't use your songs to hurt anyone else!
Claire! Can't you hear my voice!? Claire! Claire!!
Young Claire:
You'll pay...
=Track 8 - Birth=
BGM: EXEC_HYMME_PLUTONIUS/.
Dian:
Watch out!!
Crew:
What are you doing, Claire!?
Young Claire:
Dian!
Dian! Your hand is injured!
Dian:
It's okay. It's just a flesh wound.
And more importantly, from what I overheard from your conversation with
Crew, I have learned the reason why he sent you to bring us to Tenba.
Because he wanted our power.
Claire:
The wound in Dian's hand, and the feelings that were flowing out from the words
he said, made me sit in the floor as if I was the culprit for something terrible.
But in the moment that Dian's voice floored me, some other sound... an extremely
unpleasant sound, and an odd liquid, began to spread out.
Crew:
Hmmm...
What?
Dian:
He seems to be coming around.
Crew:
Ah..
My... my... my research...
It's destroyed!! Everything I spent years making!!
Young Claire:
It's because I tried to use an attack song magic against you, and ended
destroying instead that large tube.
Claire:
These strange things then spread more and more.
And whatever used to be inside that tube ended getting released, and was
coming to us.
And at that moment, it was just beside Crew.
And at that moment, I saw...
Crew:
Huhu... My ambitions! My ambitions have been crushed!!
WAAAAAAHHH!!
Claire:
Suddenly, a shining sphere shot out from nowhere, and from the explosion
it produced, something came out.
Which had the shape of a beautiful human girl.
However, her skin seemed to be emanating darkness and an odd purple color,
and her hair seemed to be of a burning red.
That something like her could be alive scared me even more than any kind
of ghost I might have expected to see.
BGM: Final Chapter ~Illusory Gene~
Crew:
Why?
Dian:
Does this mean she has awakened?
Young Claire:
Is that... the Beta Pureblooded Reyvateil...?
Midir:
HATRED...
Dian:
What is she...
Midir:
HATRED...
Dian:
saying?
Midir:
I HATE THOSE WHO DISCARDED ME.
WHY ARE YOU DISCARDING ME?
NO! DON'T THROW ME AWAY! DON'T KILL ME! DON'T ERASE ME!
DON'T TOUCH ME! DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!
IT HURTS... IT HURTS...
WHY ARE YOU GIVING ME THESE AWFUL MEDICINES...?
WHY IT'S SO DARK?
Young Claire:
Huh... what is she doing?
Midir:
WHY IT'S SO COLD?
THERE'S NO ONE HERE... NO ONE...
Dian:
What is happening!?
Midir:
NO... NO... NO!!!
Crew:
The power of the Moon Chanters that Midir has absorbed is overflowing within her...
Midir:
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Crew:
Right now, she... she is feeling that every living thing is an atrocity that should be eliminated...
Midir:
USELESS!! SURELY IT'S USELESS!!
HAHAHAHAHA!!
I SHALL TAKE EVERYTHING FROM THEM, JUST LIKE THEY TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME!
Crew:
And now that rage...
Has begun to completely possess her body...
Young Claire:
Why!?
Midir:
DESTROY...
Young Claire:
Crew, how you ended giving such a power to a doll like that!?
Dian:
It was because of your power, Claire.
Midir:
EVERYTHING!! EVEN THE STUPID HUMANS!!
Dian:
It was because of the rage contained in the attack song magic you sung,
that she ended coming back to life.
Because you destroyed the tube were Midir was contained with so much rage,
she came back to life incomplete, and was filled to the brim with these feelings!
Midir:
WHERE'S THE MOON!? WHERE!? GIVE IT BACK!! GIVE IT BACK!!
Young Claire:
No... It's all... It's all... my fault...
Midir:
DISAPPEAR!! DISAPPEAR!!
AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Young Claire:
What have I done...?
Midir:
HATRED...
HATRED...
HATRED...
HAPPINESS...
HAPPINESS...
I HATE THESE BLISSFUL IDIOTS!
I HATE THESE IDIOTS WHO END THE HAPPINESS TOGETHER!
HATRED...
HATRED...
HATRED...
HATRED...
I HATE THESE IDIOTS WHO RESOUND IN HAPPINESS!!
I HATE THESE IDIOTS WHO SING TOGETHER!
I HATE THE PEOPLE!!
I HATE THE HUMANS!!
I HATE EVERYTHING!!
DIE! DIE! RETURN EVERYTHING TO NOTHINGNESS! ERASE EVERYTHING!!
I WON'T LEAVE ANYTHING BEHIND!!
THIS WORLD, AND YOU ALL... I SHALL DELETE ALL OF IT.
=Track 9 - Destruction=
BGM: EXEC_NULLASCENSION/.
Young Claire:
What...? This isn't a Reyvateil's Song!
Dian:
This Song is... Impossible! Does this mean that she is able to sing with
the heart of a Moon Chanter, but with the power of a Reyvateil!?
Dian:
What does this mean...? Plants and shrubs shouldn't appear in an infertile place like this!
She is drawing power from the Tower... and combining it with the power of
the land to control both of them!?
Young Claire:
Dian... what are you saying?
Dian:
It means... that she is destroying all of this land...
Everyone among us that lives as a Moon Chanter is given a warning in the form of a legend...
That to restore this world, we need to use first a Song with the power to destroy everything...
The Song of Destruction, which no Humans during all of our history have ever been able to craft...
Young Claire:
The... The Song of Destruction...?
What... what we can do to stop it...?
What should we do...?
It doesn't matter if I've got to die to fix it!
Because I'm the one who caused this all in the first place!!
Tell me, Dian!!
Dian:
Not even all the Songs that exist in this world together could compare to
the one that Midir is singing right now...
Young Claire:
What should we do...?
Please... tell meeeee!!
Claire:
At that moment, the mass of hatred that Midir had created began to raise
even higher, and began to slowly, little by little, absorb everything around itself.
And when I had already given up on everything, and accepted that the end
was coming... Dian, silently, began walking toward her...
Young Claire:
Dian...? Where are you going...?
=Track 10 - Chanting the Moon=
BGM: Requiem ~Rest in Peace, Precious Life~
Claire:
Even in such a despair-filled moment, he gave me a warm, a gentle smile..
Young Claire:
It's dangerous...
What are you going to do...?
Dian:
I'm sorry... I know it was a very short time, but it's time to say farewell...
Claire... I'm glad I could meet you... and this journey was fun, because
I could release your heart's song...
Young Claire:
What are you saying...?
Dian... Please, don't go...
Dian:
It is said that when we, the Moon Chanters, lose our physical bodies, we return
to the Cello Moon...
It's okay then. It just means that everyone is simply sent to the moon...
By gently riding on the gentle breeze...
But I will make sure to come back to see you again.
And until that day, I will entrust this lute to you.
Please, treasure it greatly.
And, once more... please promise me... that you will never use again your
songs to harm anyone...
Young Claire:
Okay... I don't want to hurt anyone anymore... I promise you...
So please...
Dian:
Claire... Please, sing a happy song!
For the happiness of everyone... and for your own happiness... too...
Young Claire:
DIIIIAAAAAANNNNN!!!!
=Final Track - Future=
Lyner:
I see... So that lute was so important to you, huh?
Claire:
Yes.
Lyner:
And, what ended happening to the other Euphrosyne guys?
Claire:
Who knows. Anyway, they were a very mysterious group of people.
A dazzling light suddenly enveloped me, and when I noticed it, I was all alone.
Completely alone again.
Maybe they went traveling to somewhere again, like Dian told me that it was their destiny.
Even now, they may be putting their all into playing their songs.
Lyner:
Hmmm...
And I used to think that the Moon Chanters were just people that existed in
the legends, but they really exist even now?
Claire:
Yes, that is. But well, this was something that happened almost ten years ago.
At the time, I was thinking that I'd might have liked to reach this age
gaining money just with my singing.
Lyner:
Huh? What is with the abrupt topic change?
Claire:
Well, if had chosen that path for my life, I wouldn't be here managing this bar.
Lyner:
Well... that... that could have happened... but...
Claire:
Oh, I know Lyner! Let's try it now!
Lyner:
Eh? Wh-wh-what...?
Claire:
To make you sing!
And make you awaken as one of the legendary Moon Chanters!
I'll even teach you how to sing~.
Lyner:
Eeeeh!? Me? Singing? Excuse me, but me, simply singing?
Ahahahaha!
Heheh, if I sang, I'd most likely cause a catastrophe...
Ah, and more importantly, I wouldn't be able of repairing your treasured lute!
Yes, if I sang, I wouldn't be able to hear your songs anymore and...
I better go now, and begin collecting the ingredients right away!
Okay, I'll be going now!
Alto:
I'm bac-!
Lyner:
I'm goin-!
Alto:
Ah!
Lyner:
Ow!
Alto:
I apologize for this! I didn't know there were customers here!
It was a mistake!
Lyner:
Ah, it's nothing!
Claire:
It's okay. Hey Alto, he's Lyner, the one I told you about before.
Alto:
Huh? He truly is?
Welcome to our humble abode!
Lyner:
Ah, hi.
Alto:
I'll make sure to start watching out for the people that come in from now on.
Huh? Things don't seem to have changed at all.
Lyner:
W... who is he... Miss Claire?
Claire:
Ah. I'm sorry. Let me introduce you both.
He's Alto, and he's my current partner.
In more than a sense... okay?
Lyner:
Wh-what!? But... but... what about that man... that masked man you told me about...?
Miss Claire... weren't you going to wait until he returned?
Claire:
Huh? What are you talking about?
Lyner:
What!?
Claire:
Ah, Lyner. Come, go and gather these ingredients, please!
Lyner:
Huh? Ah, okay... I'll be going now...
BGM: EXEC_PHANTASMAGORIA/.
Lyner:
Hmmm...
So...somehow, that felt so awkward...
Well, at any rate, I better find these ingredients quickly, so I can hear
Miss Claire's beautiful songs!
Hmmm...
Ahhh...
This gentle breeze feels so good!
Okay! I'll do my best!
